A Straightforward Guy's Special Concern
The Ninja's reports continued, "Meanwhile, according to the latest news from the First Division, White Zetsu, who possesses shapeshifting abilities, is very likely infiltrated within the Allied Shinobi Forces, waiting for an opportunity to strike... Ino Yamanaka was killed in an assassination attempt by White Zetsu..."
"Bang!"
Inoichi Yamanaka's helmet fell to the ground with a dull thud!
Immediately afterward, he turned to the Ninja who had just announced Ino's death, "What did you say?!"
The liaison Ninja repeated what he had just said, "Reporting to the captain, news from the First Combat Division: medical-nin Ino Yamanaka has been killed in action."
"Buzz--"
In an instant, the exhaustion of many days and the grief of losing a daughter...
A mix of complex feelings overwhelmed Inoichi Yamanaka, and everything went black before his eyes!
A jumble of sounds rose from the darkness: anxious shouts, hurried footsteps, and the howling wind outside Headquarters...
Will my daughter's voice never be heard again...?
Beside Turtle Island, land created by Shinki.
Shinki, who was forging iron, suddenly had a thought and frowned, as if he had realized something extraordinary!
Naruto, who was helping out nearby, asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Shinki frowned slightly. "A Flying Thunder God Mark left behind seems to be summoning me... That's strange..."
Naruto waved his hand. "It must be because you've been working too hard these past few days forging iron. ¯_(ツ)_/¯"
Shinki shook his head. "No, something's not right. I have to go check it out!"
Seaside.
Ino breathing had just stopped, opened her eyes and looked around at the world in confusion. "I'm not dead? Why does the Underworld look just like the human world?"
Then, she turned her head and saw Shinki with red hair and an anxious expression!
Ino: (ૢ˃ꌂ˂⁎)
She murmured, "It seems this must be the Underworld... It actually fulfilled my wish to see the Shinki one last time before I died! ❛‿˂̵✧"
"However, a fake is still a fake..."
Towards the end, she became sad again for some reason.
Shinki, who was holding Ino, couldn't bear to watch any longer.
"What's fake?"
Ino:ヽ( ຶ▮ ຶ)ﾉ!!
"The illusions of the Underworld can actually talk?!"
Shinki, Sakura, and the other Ninjas: (||๐_๐), =_=, 눈_눈
Finally, Sakura stepped forward and explained the whole story, "You closed your eyes for less than two seconds, and the Shinki arrived here using the Flying Thunder God Technique."
You can probably guess what happened next.
"Shinki's medical skills... even if you were truly dead, he could bring you back to life."
Ino looked utterly incredulous: ∑(°Д°)
"So, all of this wasn't a dream?"
"I'm really still alive?! (*꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ)"
Towards the end, Ino excitedly hugged Shinki's neck and burst into tears of joy!
"Shinki, this is amazing! It feels so good to be alive! ·´¯`(>▂<)´¯`·."
As Ino spoke, she wiped her tears on Shinki's body...
Shinki patted Ino on the back. "Alright, alright, so many people are watching... You've got your snot all over me. →_→"
"Don't worry, since you have the Flying Thunder God Kunai I left behind, how could I possibly let you die! (´∇ﾉ`*)ノ"
After hearing Shinki's speech, Ino burst out laughing again.
She retorted coquettishly, "I'm a girl, how can you say that about me? You... you're slandering me! (´つヮ⊂︎)"
Shinki pulled up his collar, pointed to the two wet stains on it, and said righteously, "I'm not slandering you, I'm telling the truth. Look, this is tears, and this little bit below is snot. It's not much, but..."
Ino's face grew darker and darker as she listened!
Finally, he gave the Shinki tree a hard shove, turned around, and left:(╯>д<)╯⁽˙³˙⁾
Shinki stood there, stunned, his head full of question marks:(‧_‧???)
He turned to look at Darui beside him, puzzled. "Did I say something wrong? Why is she crying one minute and laughing the next? Girls' minds are so hard to understand! ╭(╯ε╰)╮"
"Ku~" Darui was trying his best to suppress a laugh, and said with great effort, "Um... is it possible that there's something wrong with how you communicate with girls?"
Shinki shook his head. "Probably not. I've always told the truth. Shouldn't girls like honest men?"
Pfft
Darui finally couldn't help but laugh! ꉂ(ˊᗜˋ*)
Shinki: "What are you laughing at?! (′д`σ)σ"
Darui, worried that Shinki would lose face, made up an excuse. "Well, my wife gave birth..."
Pfft
Pfft
Several more bursts of laughter rang out from the side!
Shinki was speechless. "What are you laughing at again? Ծ‸ Ծ"
"Do your wives also give birth? Are all of your wives the same person? (눈益눈)"
The other Ninjas. "No, no, it's just a coincidence that I gave birth on the same day... Pfft~ Haha ꉂ(ˊᗜˋ*)"
Shinki suddenly felt that this scene looked familiar, and walked away speechlessly.
Meanwhile, Ino, who had walked away, was vigorously hammering an innocent rock!
"I'm so angry! I'm so angry! (ꐦ ಠ 皿ಠ)"
"Just who is that guy from Shinki?!"
"Not only are you clueless about romance, but you've also lost your brain! (*꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ)"
Sakura then leaned in and playfully comforted him, "Actually, Shinki still likes you quite a bit..."
Ino was speechless. "Don't say that. I know him perfectly well, he's such a straight man. ¯_(ツ)_/¯"
"He only sees me as a classmate, he treats everyone like that! (;´༎ຶД༎ຶ`)"
"No," Sakura continued to explain, "You don't know, when the Shinki teleported over and found you in shock, it was incredibly worried."
"Furthermore, after treating you, Shinki left a special Curse Mark on your body... I don't know what it's for... but he definitely did it because he cared about you!"
Upon hearing this, Ino hurriedly searched her body. "The Curse Mark? Where is it?"
Sakura nodded. "It's on your back, you can't see it yourself."
"Moreover, the pattern of that Curse Mark is... similar to the one that the Shinki placed on the Lord Hokage!!"
Ino: "Really?!(´◊ω◊`)"
When Shinki placed the Curse Mark on Tsunade, she was there. At the time, Shinki only said that the Curse Mark needed Chakra to maintain it, and that it would have a special use when Chakra was exhausted...
Although I don't know its specific function, it definitely shows concern for others!
Now Shinki has placed one on himself too!
Then I'll be the third person, besides Tsunade Jiraiya, to receive special attention from Shinki! (⌯︎¤̴̶̷̀ω¤̴̶̷́)✧︎
"That idiot... finally got it!! ୧⍢⃝୨"
The Desert Battlefield of the Land of Iron.
The Four Kage fought against Chakra Madara Uchiha, but ultimately could not achieve victory...
At this moment, the Four Kage had lost their former glory; one by one, they had exhausted their Chakra and collapsed weakly to the ground.
Tsunade's body was now severed in two. Due to overuse of the Creation Rebirth Technique, she had reverted to the appearance of a woman in her fifties or sixties...
At that moment, the Curse Mark that Shinki had placed on her hand that day flashed...
