BXBX NOVEL Chapter 672
Chapter 672: Some Quality Time
Whether because of missions or because of his personal affairs, he has been traveling all over the Shinobi World, but unlike him, Yui always stays in Konoha, serving the Hyuga Clan and taking care of his home… Never venturing outside. Although she has never complained about it, now that Kuroto thinks about it, he feels that he should treat her better.
As Kuroto was thinking these things, Yui swam to his side, slowly hugged him, then sat upon him.
Kuroto supported her waist with one of his hands, while using his other hand he gently brushed her back, and questioned, “You, okay?”
Yui nuzzled in Kuroto’s embrace and answered, “Mm-hmm… just want to stay like this for a while…”
Kuroto nodded slightly and continued to soothe her with gentle caresses.
After a while, Yui moved her head and gazed into Kuroto’s eyes as she questioned, “Say Kuroto-kun… what other secrets are you hiding from me?”
Kuroto asked in return, “What brought this on?”
Yui held Kuroto’s face with both his hands and said while looking down, “Sometimes… Sometimes I feel that despite knowing you from my childhood, despite having spent the past 20 years of my life with you… I know nothing about you…”
Kuroto smiled slightly, he held her chin with his hand and raised her face to look into his eyes, and questioned, “Does it bother you?”
Yui shook her head… “No… it doesn’t… Because… I know that you will tell me everything when you feel that the time is right… it’s just that… sometimes I see loneliness and complexity in your eyes… and I don’t know how to help you get over it…”
“Yeah… One day, I’ll tell you everything… everything I have hidden from you as of yet… but until then, I want you to be patient and have trust in me… As for your worry about me feeling lonely… Just having you by my side is more than enough… you don’t have to do anything more…” said Kuroto as he patted her head.
Yui nodded, “Always.” then buried her head in Kuroto’s embrace.
Kuroto nodded, “Always.”
After a while of silence, Kuroto suddenly thought of something, “By the way Yui…” then squeezed his hand ‘Sqeeze’, and pointed out, you seem to have develop–”
Slap…
…
With a clear red mark of a slap on his face, Kuroto was sitting opposite Yui as the two had dinner.
*Giggle~*
Seeing Kuroto’s face, Yui giggled, “I’m sorry… it’s just that you look so funny with that swollen cheek… Does it still hurt?”Kuroto shook his head with a sigh, “No” but as he tried to touch his swollen cheek he let out an involuntarily cry, “Ouch…”
Yui tried her best to control her laugh, “It seems that it does hurt even now… Come here… I’ll heal your face…”
Normally, the swelling wouldn’t have been so bad… but Yui subconsciously wrapped Chakra over her hand, when she struck him, that’s why the swelling is so bad.
Kuroto nodded and let her do her thing…
Soon, the gentle warmth of medical chakra appeared over his cheek and the swelling started to heal.
While Yui was healing him, Kuroto questioned, “What is the status of casualties caused by the recent incident?”
Yui replied in an emotional tone, “A lot of senior shinobis died while being tied down to that Array… Even among the shinobi who have survived, there are many who can no longer work as a Shinobi… Their Chakra Pathways are severely damaged… So, they are no longer suitable for carrying out missions…”
Kuroto muttered, “Is that so…?” not so surprised.
Yui nodded, “Yes…” then added with a bitter smile, “You know Kuroto-kun… isn’t it an irony that Shinobi who wouldn’t have hesitated to sacrifice their lives for the sake of the village were killed by the village and died at the hands of their ‘Hokage’…”
Kuroto was silent… Yui was silent… only the pulsating sound of the healing chakra resounded…
After a while, Yui added, “What happened to them is unacceptable…!”
Kuroto muttered, “I know!”
Because the number of people involved in this incident was over a thousand, as such, their mouths can’t be kept shut. Therefore, within just half a day, the news of Danzo’s ritual and what he ‘did’ to the fifteen hundred shinobi also became public.
The Konoha Hospital where all the comatose and injured are being kept at this moment became the distribution hub of the news, therefore, even Yui, who didn’t particularly try to inquire for information is also aware of the ins and outs of the incident.
Because she has personally seen the pain of the people who lost their loved ones, and the pain of the people who were injured or can no longer be Shinobi, as such, she is greatly angered at Danzo for doing such a thing.
Kuroto patted her head, and questioned, “I heard that Kakashi was the one to discover the site of the ritual… is that true?”
Yui nodded lightly, “Based on what people are telling, Kakashi-san teleported near the array and fought against Danzo’s men in an attempt to save them… Initially, he was struggling, but something happened which made Danzo’s men run away… With those people gone, Kakashi-san used his Flying Raijin Jutsu and rescued all those people who were still alive… You know, he didn’t leave even a single person who was alive out there to die…!”
Kuroto has already heard all these details about Kakashi at the meeting.
After this achievement, Kakashi is now being compared to Konoha’s Yellow Flash… This is basically a transformation… A transformation from an elite Jonin class to a full-fledged Kage class shinobi.
Ultimately, losing the Mangekyou Sharingan that Obito gave him proved to be a boon for him…
It won’t be wrong to say that, “Kakashi is also growing up…”
Just as Kuroto was thinking of Kakashi’s achievement, Yui removed her hand from Kuroto’s cheek, and said, “There… it’s all healed up! Now no one will laugh at you…”
Kuroto nodded, “Thanks.”
Yui smiled sweetly and squeezed his nose, “No problem…” then she thought of something, and asked, “Kuroto-kun… wasn’t there something you needed my help with?”
Kuroto nodded, “Yeah… I almost forgot about it…” He turned the topic and spoke, “Yui… I need the Yin-seal.”
Yui was taken aback, “The Yin-seal!? But Kuroto-kun… the Yin-seal is…”
Kuroto nodded, “I know all those details… But I still need it!”
Yui thought for a while, and said, “Um… I can try and ask Tsunade-sama… But I can’t guarantee.”
Kuroto agreed, “Yeah… try asking her… if she gives it to you, then very well… otherwise, I will try to take it from the Scroll of Seals.”
Yui nodded, “Alright, I’ll see what I can do.”
