Does this mean that the woman Kiyoshi is with now also possesses a special bloodline limit?

"Take her to her room."

Kiyoshi stood up and said calmly.

Yekura's injuries have been almost completely healed; all that's left is to wait for her to wake up.

"okay."

Uzumaki Karin nodded.

The base was expanded by Kiyoshi, resulting in many additional empty rooms underground.

Many of them have simple cotton quilts for people to rest in.

But for Karin Uzumaki, the feeling was more like... a prison cell.

Even now, she knows what kind of research Kiyoshi is doing.

However, since Kiyoshi saved her life, Karin Uzumaki chose to accept it all.

Soon, Uzumaki Karin carried Yokura away.

Kiyoshi, on the other hand, went to the laboratory.

There's still some time before Ye Cang wakes up, so he can use this time to check on the progress of his puppet clones.

After walking more than a hundred meters, Kiyoshi arrived at a room.

The room was filled with figures, each about the same size as him.

But its head is larger, it has no facial features, and it is covered with different numbers. Its body has a wooden texture, and its joints are also mechanical.

Kiyoshi casually released dozens of puppet clones, and instantly a large amount of memories flooded into his body.

A sense of fatigue followed.

Kiyoshi shook his head, dispelling the discomfort.

He has made some progress in the development of the "Human Curse Seal".

They have already achieved a basic ability to transform animals into human-like forms.

However, the degree of its severity is still very low, and it comes with the side effect of dying after the curse seal is broken.

"Hiss..."

The white snake, coiled in Kiyoshi's sleeve, stretched out its head and stared at the outside world.

Kiyoshi stroked her small head, pondering his future plans.

He will not use the "Human Curse Seal" on the white snake until at least after the clinical trials have been successfully completed.

At the same time, Kiyoshi intends to intensify the effects of the cursed seal on the physical body.

After Sasuke releases the "Cursed Seal of Heaven," his long hair, brown skin, and even the deformed wings on his back disappear.

The Qing government should do the opposite.

Even after the curse is lifted, the physical body should still undergo a certain degree of change.

Otherwise, the little time all day spent on transformation would be too ineffective.

The reason why the white snake looks so small now is because Kiyoshi used the "transformation technique".

"It will take some more time."

Kiyoshi put the matter aside for the time being and began to sort through the memories in his mind.

……

The land of wind.

Sand Hidden Village.

"Kiyoshi-kun went to rest?"

Rasa looked up at Yashamaru, who had come to give a report, from inside the office.

He sent Yashamaru to invite Kiyoshi over for dinner that evening.

It's never a mistake to befriend such a powerful and promising genius.

"Yes, Kazekage-sama."

Yashamaru nodded.

Outside, he naturally had to take on the role of Luo Sha.

"That's all."

Luo Sha stopped dwelling on the matter.

Even though space-time ninjutsu is very convenient, traveling all the way to the Land of Wind is still quite taxing on one's energy, so it's normal for Kiyoshi to need to rest.

"Alright, I should go check on Gaara and Kankuro now."

Rasa took off the Kazekage hat from his head and, smiling, went with Yashamaru to find Karura.

Luo Sha also has a loving side when it comes to children.

"Let's go."

Yashamaru followed Rasa.

Gallo was his sister, and he also cared deeply for his two nephews.

Soon, the two found Garuda.

Upon learning that Kiyoshi wouldn't be coming tonight, a hint of relief flashed in Karura's eyes.

Gallo hid this slight sense of relief very well, and no one noticed it.

She naturally didn't want to see Kiyoshi if she could avoid it.

"Give me the child."

Luo Sha is approaching.

Garuda almost instinctively stepped back.

She was also summoned by the authorities today...

Karura was very careful, fearing that Rasa would notice something was amiss.

If something is discovered, not only will she be finished, but her two children will also be finished.

Sunagakure has always valued blood ties and would never allow such a sinful result to exist.

Even though she wasn't with Luo Sha at the time.

Strictly speaking, she did not betray Luo Sha.

Instead, Luo Sha... took over.

Before long, Rasa, who knew nothing, took the child from Karura's arms with a smile and felt the gentleness.

"Wow wow wow..."

Uchiha... Gaara suddenly burst into tears.

Even Rasa, the Fourth Kazekage, began to feel somewhat at a loss.

Karura quickly took Gaara back and gently comforted him.

Luo Sha watched this scene quietly, his smile growing wider.

Such a peaceful life is not bad.

……

night.

In the mountains and forests, a solitary moon hangs in the sky, casting its light across the mountains and fields.

Kiyoshi stood quietly on the mountain peak, looking at the moon in the sky.

He was pondering where the passage to the moon was.

According to the plot of the movie "Naruto: The Final Chapter", it was winter in Konoha at the time, but there was not much snow around.

Naruto and the others tracked down Otsutsuki Toneri's puppet and arrived at a snow-covered mountain forest.

Hinata used her Byakugan's ability to see through objects to spot glowing "rivers" in one of the underground areas.

That is the shortcut connecting the Earth and the Moon; by passing through this passage, one can directly reach the interior of the Moon.

"woke up……"

Suddenly, Kiyoshi sensed a disturbance.

He disappeared under the moonlight and went to a room.

A figure was lying on the bed in the very center of the room.

On the bed, Yekura's fingers suddenly trembled slightly.

Her eyelashes trembled, as if she were struggling out of a deep nightmare, and cold sweat beaded on her forehead.

Then, she slowly opened her eyes.

"……cough……"

A dry cough escaped her throat, as if trying to cough up the remaining coldness and oppression in her chest.

My vision was initially blurry, and darkness was like a damp cloth pressed against my eyes. It wasn't until a moment later that I gradually saw the ceiling, and then the four walls of the room.

She moved her body, and her wound throbbed with pain.

The wound left by the shuriken...

Blurred images flashed through her mind like lightning—warm blood, intense pain, the sound of countless shurikens piercing the air… and finally, before she lost consciousness, she vaguely felt herself being picked up.

"...Seiji?"

Yekura murmured unconsciously.

Just then, she turned her head and, by the light of the corridor, saw the figure in the dimly lit room.

He stood quietly by the bed, arms crossed, looking at her with a half-smile, as if waiting for a reaction from someone who was awake.

Ye Cang's eyes narrowed slightly, a moment of confusion flashing across them, but it quickly dimmed, replaced by a trace of sorrow and the bitterness of clarity.

"You saved me."

She spoke softly, her eyes lowered, and the lines of her pretty face appeared particularly cold due to exhaustion and humiliation.

She remembered everything.

She couldn't help but confirm again:

"Were the attackers ninjas from Kirigakure?"

Kiyoshi smiled faintly, his tone devoid of emotion, "Yes, but according to them... it seems you were betrayed by the village."

"sell……"

She repeated it in a low voice, a very faint smile slowly curving up at the corners of her lips, but without any real joy.

"I see."

Yecang closed his eyes, as if acknowledging a cruel truth.

She laughed self-deprecatingly, her laughter dry and hoarse, as if countless rusty bits were scraping against her throat.

"The heroes of Sunagakure... Ha, in the end, I'm just a pawn."

For the sake of the village, she was willing to die, willing to fight to the very last moment.

If someone is given away as a sacrifice, or used as a bargaining chip to appease the enemy, then it's more than just betrayal.

What are your plans for the future?

Qingsi asked.

"revenge."

Ye Cang raised her head, her voice as cold as shattered ice, "They shaped me, used me, and then abandoned me. I won't let this go."
