Yugao's Recent Circumstances

The Land of Fire, Konoha.

In Dr. Yuki Haku's ward at Konoha Hospital.

Yugao was lying on the bed with her upper body naked, undergoing Bai's examination.

A pretty young woman in a white coat placed her hand on the soft skin of her left breast, performing Medical Ninjutsu to examine her body.

"Sister Yugao, has your heart still been hurting lately?" Yuki Haku asked.

"It's not as strong as before." A cold touch covered her chest, and goosebumps immediately rose on Yugao skin.

This was the first time she had ever exposed her body to strangers while fully conscious. Although she was no longer a young girl, despite her seemingly bold demeanor, she was actually quite conservative inside. Yugao instinctively reached up and pulled at her clothes, which had been pulled down to her collarbone, trying to cover her exposed skin. Her face slightly flushed, she looked at the curtains by the window and said, "But if I move too vigorously, it will start hurting immediately."

"Well, after all, this is an emergency-made heart, it can't compare to a natural heart..." Bai Weiwei shook her head and said, "However, compared to when you were discharged from the hospital, it's much more stable now, and your body is gradually adapting to this new heart."

"Dr. Bai, is the reason why my Chakra levels haven't been able to recover? Is it because of this new heart?"

"That's right, the heart is the source of life, the essence of physical energy... More than half of the physical energy that makes up Chakra is provided by the heart." Bai sighed, thinking of the internal data he had seen in the hospital. There were countless examples of ninjas whose strength plummeted after organ injuries, let alone those with heart injuries.

As for Yugao, her entire heart was gone. The new heart was of such poor quality that it could barely sustain her life activities and struggled to withstand even slightly strenuous exercise, let alone provide her with the large amount of Chakra Yugao used to have.

"Is it impossible to recover for the rest of my life?" The female ninja, lying on the hospital bed, stared blankly at the doctor and asked. She subconsciously reached for the hair behind her neck, but found nothing, only then realizing that her proud, long, shiny black hair had been transformed into her heart during the surgery.

Bai hesitated for a moment, then revealed the truth. "If you persist with treatment, you may eventually recover to about 20-30% of your original condition."

As the light in the woman's eyes slowly dimmed and her expression turned dejected, Bai sighed inwardly.

Not knowing what to do, she activated her Medical Ninjutsu, a faint blue light emanating from her hands, and said, "I'll use Ninjutsu to stimulate your heart and enhance its vitality, which will help you recover faster."

"Hmm," Yugao forced a smile and replied politely, "Thank you for your trouble, Doctor Bai."

Then I felt a pair of cool, soft hands pressing on my chest. Medical Ninjutsu released a soothing healing wave, and my tense, slightly aching heart immediately felt much better.

Yugao felt completely relaxed. Having just received the bad news, she was no longer so gloomy.

Tsunade had actually hinted at this bad news to her while she was hospitalized, so she wasn't completely unprepared to hear it. Therefore, after the initial shock, Yugao's agitated emotions quickly subsided—after all, her heart couldn't handle too much excitement.

Turn your gaze to the window.

The focus was scattered in the distance; Yugao's eyes were unfocused, lost in thought.

After about twenty minutes of massage, Bai stopped and listened to the heartbeat with a stethoscope. "The murmurs have decreased a lot. Go back and continue to rest. This is the first follow-up examination. Remember to come back for another check-up in two weeks!"

"Okay, I understand."

Yugao sat up and was about to put down her clothes when a nurse rushed in and handed a test report to Bai.

"Oh~?" Bai glanced at her twice, his eyes twitching slightly before a faint smile appeared on his face. He looked at Yugao and said, "Wait a minute, don't rush, lie down first."

He then used a probing Medical Ninjutsu, pressing a few times on Yugao's abdomen.

"What's wrong?" Yugao asked nervously.

Congratulations, Sister Yugao.

Bai withdrew his hands, his eyes brimming with smiles, and said to Yugao.

You have a child.

Yugao was taken aback.

When she realized what Bai meant, her dim eyes suddenly lit up, Yugao subconsciously touched her still very flat stomach.

She smiled and glanced out the window. The news seemed to brighten even the sunlight streaming through the window.

I have a child.

She repeated the phrase to herself, feeling as if her life had embarked on a new journey.

However, on another note, Sister Yugao —or perhaps she should be called Mrs. Moonlight now—is very efficient... From the time she returned to the village injured and was discharged from the hospital until now, it has only been a little over a month.

Of course, this is also thanks to Lady Tsunade Gekko Hayate.

In short, there should be applause here!

Yugao Uzuki Glory's mood suddenly shifted to the sunny side, and her worries about her own strength were temporarily put aside.

Yugao suddenly remembered what Sakura and Shino had said to her at her wedding...

"Looks like you're about to give us a surprise!" The girl covered her mouth and laughed, staring at Yugao's abdomen.

"Go for it, Yugao, and Hayate too!" Shino patted his Anbu member, Gekko Hayate, on the shoulder with a mischievous grin and winked.

Yugao still remembers how she and Hayate were both amused and exasperated by the two of them back then.

However, after the wedding, Sakura found an opportunity to whisper mysteriously in her ear, "When I get back, I'll probably have a surprise for you too!"

Thinking of this, Yugao touched her belly; she had already received her first surprise.

So, what is the surprise Sakura has in store for her?

She looked up towards the Land of Snow, wondering what Sakura Haruno was doing Land of Snow at this time.

Deep in the Land of Snow, a place almost never visited by anyone—

The cold wind howled, and the blizzard raged.

Snowflakes, each as large as a goose egg, fell wildly from the sky.

In the snow, two figures trudged through the howling wind, their cloaks fluttering in the wind.

"Sakura! Let's find a sheltered place! The blizzard here is too strong!" Sasuke had to shout at the top of his lungs amidst the howling wind, otherwise his voice wouldn't even reach Sakura Haruno, who was only two meters away from him.

Even for ninjas, navigating such harsh conditions is extremely difficult. The violent and icy winds cut like knives against their faces, and they must constantly maintain Chakra protection to retain body heat.

However, the two could not stay. If they stood still, they would probably be buried by the heavy snow in just a few seconds, becoming a pile of bones that would not be discovered for many years to come.

"I know!" Sakura Haruno walked over and shouted, "Hang in there! There's a cliff ahead; we'll rest there for a bit!"

Sasuke shielded his eyes from the wind and snow with his hand, squinted at the road ahead, and said, "Alright, let's go there!"

Chakra surged beneath his feet, kicking up snowflakes as he vanished into the distance in a flash.

"What an impatient girl!" The girl shook her head, tightened her grip on her trench coat, and then disappeared into the blizzard.

A few seconds later, at the foot of the steep rock face.

The recessed terrain and narrow rock crevices created a natural shelter from the wind. While the cold wind howled outside the rock walls, inside the cave just a meter away, it was completely calm and still.

Sasuke sat on a rock, shaking off the snow from his body, panting slightly. He had been trekking through the blizzard for several hours, and even now, with his greatly improved strength, he felt a bit disheveled.

Sakura Haruno followed her in and found another rock to sit on. Contrary to her usual appearance, she remained impeccably dressed and elegant. As a girl proficient in Ice Release, she didn't seem to find this environment particularly difficult.

Sakura casually removed the cloak that wasn't covered by the Frost Battle Armor, shook off the ice shards, and then tore off the ice armor from her face, revealing her youthful face.

"Is this the barbaric world beyond civilization that you speak of?" Sasuke asked calmly, spitting out a fireball that slowly burned on the ground.

The bright orange Amaterasu the narrow cave, and the cold air inside gradually warmed up.
