Earring

"Goodbye, Yemo Uzumaki. Although the environment in this Demon Mask Hall isn't great anymore, I still hope you can get a good night's sleep."

With the Death God Mask seemingly in her backpack, Chiyuki Uzumaki looked at Yemo with a smile. Of course, she was happy. Since she met Yemo, she didn't know how many times she had suffered at his hands. The first time a man held her hand, the first time she was carried in a princess carry, and the first time she was carried on his back... She didn't know how many firsts Yemo had broken, and how many times he had taken advantage of her.

Now that it's not easy to make Yemo suffer at her hands, Chiyuki is naturally overjoyed. Chiyuki Yemo and walked towards the door. Having obtained the Death God Mask, there's no need for her to stay here any longer.

Seeing Chiyuki triumphantly put away the Death God Mask, Yemo felt increasingly ashamed. He, a genius Konoha Ninja Jonin could even defeat a Jonin with Kekkei Genkai, had actually been drugged by a mere sleeping pill. If word got out, he would lose all face. Fortunately, no one was around, especially Kakashi, otherwise this matter would probably have spread throughout the entire Konoha.

Seeing Chiyuki leave, Yemo suddenly shouted, "Chiyuki, I know what you want to do. Although you may not listen to what I'm saying, I still have to say it: you absolutely cannot defeat Black Zetsu to avenge your grandfather. In fact, you might even die at his hands in the end."

Chiyuki stopped walking and listened to Yemo's words. After a moment of silence, she slowly said, "After my grandfather died and the Uzumaki Clan was wiped out, revenge became my motivation to live. Even if it means suffering the same fate as my grandfather, I will avenge the dead Uzumaki Clan."

Yemo did not tell Chiyuki the real reason for the deaths of so many clansmen. The elder clansman had dedicated his entire life to the clan. Although his methods were too intense, even cruel and inhumane, he still fought for the clan until the very last moment.

The elder clan leader had both merits and demerits, and his demerits even outweighed his merits, since he was the murderer who killed many clansmen. However, the whole matter was in the past, and the elder clan leader perished together with Black Zetsu.

Chiyuki is Chiyuki, and the Great Elder is the Great Elder. The Great Elder has already paid the price with his life for his actions, and there is no need for Chiyuki to continue to bear the burden. Therefore, Yemo did not tell Chiyuki that the Great Elder was the culprit who killed the clansmen. The person is dead, and he did not want to say anything more about this matter. He let it perish under the river of time.

Because of this, Chiyuki Uzumaki believed that Black Zetsu was the culprit behind everything, and that Black Zetsu was the one who killed her clansmen.

"Are you just like your grandfather? You're betraying his expectations. The Great Elder was willing to perish together to seal Black Zetsu. Wasn't he just trying to preserve the last bloodline of the Uzumaki Clan? Did he want us to avenge him? He wanted us to live well, to live well no matter what. Only by living can there be any possibility, only by living can there be hope of rebuilding the Uzumaki Clan, instead of letting the Uzumaki Clan disappear completely from the river of time," Yemo shouted in one breath. I never expected him to be able to say such a long speech.

Chiyuki was blinded by hatred, Yemo tried to wake her up, but that was impossible.

Chiyuki slowly turned to look at Yemo and said calmly, "I know that's why Grandpa made you the clan leader. You bear the hope of the Uzumaki Clan's rebirth, and what I need to do is take revenge."

After saying that, Chiyuki turned and walked away, not giving Yemo a chance to say a word.

Watching Chiyuki leave, Yemo sighed softly. He didn't think Chiyuki had done anything wrong. If he were in Chiyuki's shoes, Yemo might have been even worse than her.

Yemo sighed because Black Zetsu was someone she couldn't possibly defeat. This wasn't revenge; it was suicide. Even if you wanted revenge, you didn't need to do it this way. You could have found some allies. Unfortunately, Chiyuki didn't give him a chance to speak before leaving.

About ten minutes after Chiyuki left, Yemo, who had collapsed to the ground and felt weak in his limbs, stood up and stretched. Although his whole body was still a little sore, it did not hinder his movement.

If Chiyuki were still there, she would find it hard to believe. According to her estimation, Yemo would probably not be able to get up until tomorrow morning after being drugged, but Yemo was able to stand up in just over ten minutes. After the bloodline fusion, Yemo's Sage Body was no longer the same as before, and he had developed a strong resistance to poisons and drugs like sleeping pills.

Furthermore, his senses had become much stronger. Logically speaking, even if Chiyuki used a colorless and odorless sleeping potion to disperse into the air, Yemo should have been able to detect something amiss.

But the reason why he didn't realize it and still got caught in the trap was probably because the smell earlier disturbed Yemo's state of mind, which also reduced his senses. To put it simply, he was so attracted by Chiyuki's beauty that he didn't pay attention to the subtle changes in the air.

Yemo looked around. During their fight, most of the Death God Mask on the wall had fallen to the ground. Of course, Yemo had no intention of picking up these hundreds of Death God Mask and putting them back in their original places.

Suddenly, a bright light flashed in front of Yemo. Yemo was stunned and looked down at the ground. It turned out to be a glittering object next to a Death God Mask.

Yemo crouched down and looked closer. It was a rhombus-shaped crystal reflecting light under the lamp. Yemo reached out and pinched the crystal, pulling on it, only to find that the crystal was only part of the crystal; another part was being pressed down by the Death God Mask.

Yemo pulled the whole thing out and examined it closely in his palm. He then realized that it was a crystal earring. The lower part was a rhombus-shaped crystal, and the upper part was a hollowed-out leaf shape cast from an unknown white metallic substance. Under the light, the earring refracted a faint glow, shimmering like glass, and was quite beautiful.

Without a doubt, this earring must belong to Chiyuki. A grown man like him wouldn't wear earrings. There were no other girls besides him and Chiyuki just now. Who else could it be but Chiyuki?

After looking at it for a while, Yemo carefully put the earring into his pocket. The earring was very ordinary, but it had an extraordinary meaning in his eyes.

As for why it fell to the ground and was covered by the Death God Mask, Yemo thought it must have fallen accidentally during the fight, and even Chiyuki didn't notice.

Putting away the earring, Yemo didn't linger. His target was Chiyuki, but now that Chiyuki was gone and had taken the Great Elder's Death God Mask, what was he still doing here?

Yemo was about to leave Demon Mask Hall, he suddenly remembered something and turned back to look at Ghost Face Hall, which resembled a demon hiding in the dark forest.

He stroked his chin and muttered to himself, "The Uzumaki Clan no longer exists, and the Demon Mask Hall still holds so many Death God Mask; it's not entirely safe here."

After saying that, Yemo quickly Hand Seals, slammed his palms onto the grass with a loud thud, and shouted, "Earth Release: Moving Earth Core!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the ground trembled, and the Demon Mask Hall that stood before him slowly sank into the ground amidst the trembling. The surrounding soil surged up and covered the Demon Mask Hall until it sank dozens of meters underground, a depth that was difficult for anyone to detect. Only then did Yemo withdraw his Chakra.

Looking at the empty space in front of him, Yemo felt it was still lacking. The surrounding area was dense forest, and this was the only open space. Anyone with a little attention to detail would have noticed something was wrong.

So Yemo then moved several large trees from the surrounding area to this open space, and then added some plants, making it exactly the same as the surrounding area.

"Mission accomplished!" Yemo said, patting the dust off his hands.

From this moment on, no one but him knows the Demon Mask Hall, where the Death God Mask is kept. Most importantly, the Reaper Death Seal, and no one but him will be able to unlock it.

Having finished preparing everything, Yemo slowly walked out of the dense forest. Reaching the edge, Yemo turned and looked back at the forest, a smile playing on his lips. Suddenly, a Death God Mask appeared in his hand. Gently turning the Death God Mask, Yemo hummed his favorite song from his past life, and slowly disappeared into the darkness.

As you spread your wings and take flight, make a firm decision never to look back.

What we truly yearn for is that deep blue sky.

Never truly understood the taste of sorrow.

But they began to explore the mysteries of pain.
