Time to Rest

After leaving the Hokage Building, Shunren went straight back to the Uchiha settlement.

"Clatter~" She opened her front door.

Shunren felt only a tiny creature rushing towards him.

"Papa!" This loud sound, no matter how many times he had heard it, always sent chills down Shunren's spine every time he heard it.

"Ha~" Shunren lifted him up with one hand, stopping the latter from jumping into his arms, and said calmly, "Don't come any closer, I'm all dirty. Besides, you're already two years old, so stop pretending!"

With soft brown hair, a pair of large, clear, and jet-black eyes, and a faint beauty mark at the corner of her eye, the lively and spirited young girl before me is none other than Quan.

"Daddy, what are you saying~ Quan is still young and can't talk very well~" Quan blinked her eyes, putting on an adorable look.

This made Shunren's lips twitch involuntarily. He thought to himself, "This little girl has already learned to act cute at such a young age. What will she be like when she grows up?"

"Welcome home, Shunren." Hezi, dressed as a maid, came out of the house.

Shunren glanced at the latter and nodded in satisfaction. This black and white short skirt was something that didn't exist in this ninja world. Because of his personal interest, Shunren had a tailor make a set for Hezi to wear. Hezi was blind and didn't care what kind of clothes they were; she would wear whatever was given to her.

His gaze swept across the room; from the hall to the rooms, every corner was spotless, and the clean and comfortable environment put Shunren in a very good mood.

"Shunren, are you hungry? I'll go cook."

"Um, wait a minute." Shunren carefully took off his tattered clothes and tossed them aside. "These clothes don't need washing, just throw them away. I'm going to take a shower first..."

"Shunren!" Hezi suddenly shouted, then sniffed the air, and took a few steps forward to sniff the air in front of Shunren.

Then Hezi frowned and asked, "Shunren, are you injured?"

Shunren's eyes flickered, and he thought to himself that it was true that people who had lost their sight had more acute hearing and smell than ordinary people. Hezi keenly detected a faint smell of blood in the air.

Shunren released his hand from his lower abdomen, revealing a shallow scar that had already scabbed over. He said calmly, "It's nothing, just a superficial wound."

Since the mission involves a life-or-death battle with ninjas, injuries are inevitable.

"No! Even a small injury can easily leave a scar if it's not treated properly." Hezi moved closer to Shunren and then instructed Quan, who was standing nearby, "Quan, could you go and get Mommy's first-aid kit?"

"I know, lalala~" Izumi quickly ran towards a room.

"Well, scars don't mean much to men." Shunren shook his head. Indeed, in his mind, he didn't care much about having scars on his body.

"Alright, sit there quietly and don't move." Hezi was unusually stubborn.

Shunren was slightly taken aback, but did not insist.

Hezi first moved her body to his knees and stretched out her slender, smooth palm towards him.

Her white, jade-like fingers had a delicate, porcelain-like quality, and her fingertips gently touched Shunren's body.

Shunren's brow twitched slightly.

"I'm sorry..." Hezi gently stroked the wound on Shunren's abdomen with her fingers, and said earnestly, "I can't see, so I can't tell the extent of the injury. I can only sense it through Chakra."

Shunren did not move, letting the latter's small hand gently stroke his lower abdomen.

After a moment, Hezi withdrew her hand and said softly, "Fortunately, the wound is not deep and did not damage any internal organs."

"Shunren, I'm going to use Medical Ninjutsu to heal you next..." After speaking, Hezi began to skillfully form hand seals, and then a soft emerald green Chakra appeared in her palms.

This is Yang Release Chakra, Yang Release: Healing Mystical Palm Technique!

Whether it's internal or external injuries, they can all be rapidly healed by releasing the vibrant life force of Yang Release.

Within the Uchiha Clan, due to their bloodline, the vast majority of members possess Yin Release abilities, with very few possessing Yang Release Chakra. Shunren is no exception; while he possesses almost monstrous talent in Yin Release, he is completely ignorant of Yang Release.

Therefore, Hezi's abilities are extremely rare among the Uchiha Clan. Generally speaking, medical-nin are never mistreated, no matter where they are. Even if they are unfortunately captured by the enemy on the battlefield, the enemy will medical-nin their lives and treat their wounded. However, because she lost her eyes, Hezi suffered extreme discrimination from the Uchiha, which caused her to lose her way to make a living and forced her to become a servant. However, even as a servant, no one would want her.

However, Shunren personally disliked such dogmatic things and always ignored the strange looks from others. Therefore, he took in Hezi, which, in retrospect, was such a wise choice!

"Um?!"

Hezi's hand reached towards his lower body...

Shunren immediately stopped him, saying, "Move it up a little."

"Eh? I'm so sorry..." Hezi is blind, so she can't determine the exact location.

After a brief treatment, the scar on Shunren's lower abdomen had completely disappeared, revealing fair and tender skin befitting a child. Shunren couldn't help but smile wryly; he didn't like this effeminate figure.

"Alright, I'm going to take a bath first." Shunren took off all the remaining clothes on the spot, and then walked towards the courtyard, where there was his private bath.

In Konoha, most people don't have bathrooms at home and use public bathhouses. However, I'm sorry, Shunren simply cannot accept this habit. The Uchiha Clan is large and powerful, and he also holds the status of a core disciple, which is why he enjoys such good treatment.

The bathhouse was located in the backyard, about fifty square meters in size. It wasn't very big, but it was spacious enough for him to use alone. Near the bathhouse, there was a small Fire Style arrangement made of talismans to heat the water. This wasn't a particularly advanced technique for the Uchiha, who was proficient in Fire Style.

"Splash~" Immersed in the warm pool water, Shunren's muscles were thoroughly relaxed. On the path of cultivation, only by gradually increasing tension and relaxation can one find the right way. Cultivation fanatics like Might Guy probably don't know that when he turns thirty, he'll have to numb himself by shouting about youth.
