A Summoning Beast That Could Block Conventional Sensing

Hagoromo simply nodded in response to Naruto's words.

They didn't immediately and readily agree to take on the task, because saying anything before seeing the village chief's injuries would be futile.

"Please take us there to have a look. We need to see the client to decide on the specifics."

Hagoromo spoke to the middle-aged man who had appeared at the beginning.

"Yes, yes, sir, please follow me." The middle-aged man nodded happily, then waved for the surrounding villagers to leave.

As Hagoromo Entry a house in the center of the village, the pungent smell of blood made Hagoromo frown.

In the very center lay a figure covered in bandages, with several women tending to him.

"Didn't you go and find someone to treat him first?" Hagoromo turned to the middle-aged man and asked.

Even though her whole body was wrapped in bandages, Hagoromo could tell at a glance that her injuries had already begun to become infected.

"Master Ninja, it's not that we don't want to, but this beast keeps lurking outside the village."

The middle-aged man, looking bitter, said when asked, "We've sent out several people, but none of them have returned yet."

Hagoromo was taken aback upon hearing this, since they had not seen any trace of the so-called wild beast when they arrived.

"Please go out first."

Hagoromo waved her hand, signaling everyone to leave; the treatment wasn't to be performed in public.

Given the severity of the village chief's injuries, he might even need to use Yang Release to treat him.

"Yes, yes! Thank you for your help, Ninja Master!"

The middle-aged man, beaming with delight, quickly bowed and scraped as he retreated.

"Naruto, Sasuke, you two be on guard." Hagoromo took out a medical glove from his ninja tool pouch and looked at Hinata beside him, saying:

"Hinata, let's begin."

"Yes, teacher!" Hinata said seriously, taking out the medical equipment from her bag.

Even after Hagoromo unwrapped the bandages, one couldn't help but marvel at how the village chief had managed to hold on until now.

Absolutely incredibly lucky.

Even Naruto was standing guard nearby, couldn't help but gasp in surprise, and even Sasuke frowned.

The injuries on this person were truly terrifying.

"Let's begin."

Hagoromo first used his Chakra to probe the area, and after confirming that there was nothing strange, he then unleashed the unique Chakra light of Yang Release from his hands.

This person's injuries can only be treated by using Yang Release techniques to heal them.

After all, Hinata's Medical Ninjutsu was only so-so, so Hagoromo didn't dare to let Hinata start casually.

If the client dies, then this joke will really go too far.

Hinata activated her Byakugan and began using healing jutsu to slowly repair the truly terrifying-looking injury.

Time passed slowly, and after Hinata was forced to close her Byakugan for the last time, Hagoromo reached out and stopped Hinata.

"Alright, Hinata, let's have Sensei take over from now on."

Without further hesitation, Hagoromo unleashed his Yang Release Chakra and began to recover.

The initial injuries could have been repaired directly using Yang Release Chakra.

It might directly cause the village chief to collapse, leading to the collapse of his already fragile health.

After all, Hagoromo's Yang Release Chakra isn't as exaggerated as Naruto's during the Fourth Shinobi World War, which possessed the Six Paths Yang Power capable of reviving the dead and restoring flesh to bones.

On the contrary, Hinata has already treated many of the injuries, so using it again will not cause such consequences.

However, once Hagoromo uses Yang Release Chakra, it means that even if the village chief survives...

He only has five or six years left to live.

The cellular activity of ordinary people is far less abnormal than that of ninjas, so Hagoromo doesn't feel too much of a burden about it.

If we don't save him, he could die at any moment.

If they're saved, living a few more years is a bonus.

"Huff--" After a long while, Hagoromo let out a heavy breath and withdrew the Yang Release Chakra from his hands.

"Teacher, wipe your sweat."

Sasuke handed over a towel, while Naruto was already taking care of Hinata.

"Hinata, how are you recovering?" Hagoromo stood up and asked Hinata standing to the side.

"I'm much better now, teacher." Hinata nodded, Chakra depletion was extremely uncomfortable.

If Hinata Chakra, she might have collapsed by now.

"Okay, let's go out first."

Hagoromo chief, comparing the past and present, and said, "Only now does the village chief look like a human being."

After leaving the house and explaining the situation to the middle-aged man, Hagoromo led Naruto and the others to a pre-prepared room to rest.

As for the mission, let's wait until that person wakes up before making any plans.

Hagoromo had just asked around, but the middle-aged man's story was completely contradictory, and the other villagers also gave vague and ambiguous answers.

Hagoromo didn't press the matter further; the mission was there anyway.

If the village chief wakes up and is just like the rest of them, then Hagoromo will be qualified to let the team return directly.

Konoha will not accept this mission again.

"You should rest for a bit."

Hagoromo spoke to Naruto and the others, then created a Shadow Clone to guard the area, while her main body headed out of the village.

It seems very necessary for me to personally investigate what this so-called wild beast actually is.

Judging from the village chief's injuries, Hagoromo roughly estimated that this was completely different from the wild beasts she knew.

It's more like... a summoned beast.

In this small village, there are actually so-called spirit beasts.

To be honest, Hagoromo found it rather interesting.

Hagoromo figure darted swiftly through the jungle, his eyes surveying the surroundings.

Snap--

With a sudden stop, Hagoromo's figure came to an abrupt halt.

No, there were almost no traces of so-called spirit beasts, not even ordinary wild animals.

Um?

Just as Hagoromo had gained nothing and wanted to return.

Under the sunlight, a glint of light reflected into Hagoromo's eyes.

Swish--

Hagoromo leaped high into the air, landing in the reflective spot, where she crouched down to examine it.

"This is..."

Looking at the slime in front of her, Hagoromo frowned; it was very strange.

If the sunlight hadn't been at just the right angle, it might have been completely overlooked.

And...

This thing seems to be able to block out most of our senses.

"A summoning beast that can block out normal perception? No wonder..." Hagoromo muttered to herself as she stood up.

No wonder they barely noticed anything unusual when they came over.

Just as Hagoromo was still pondering, the Shadow Clone that had been inside the village dissipated.

Upon receiving the message from the Shadow Clone, Hagoromo was taken aback, and then immediately headed back to the village.

The village chief has woken up. It would be better to ask this so-called village chief about the beast that has been attacking their village.

The villagers' reactions were all too strange.
