Not long after.
A simple, ancient-looking teleportation array appeared on the clean floor.
The array emitted a faint blue light, flickering mysteriously.
A moment later.
The blue light above the teleportation array suddenly intensified.
"Buzz~"
Accompanied by a buzzing sound, four figures appeared before Bai Hao.
"Greetings, Holy Lord!"
Karin and Izumi simultaneously removed their conical hats, knelt on one knee, and bowed to Bai Hao.
Seeing this, Pakura and Ringo Ameyuri behind them also knelt down.
"Mm~"
A hint of satisfaction flashed in Bai Hao's eyes.
He then nodded expressionlessly.
"Here are new quest cards and quest items.
Go complete your missions first."
As he spoke, he tossed two quest cards, a bottle of medicine to cure terminal illnesses, and a Wartortle Silver Elf Card to Izumi and Karin.
The two accepted the items, glanced at the cards, and then lowered their heads to bow again.
"As you command!"
With that.
They returned directly to the teleportation array.
And left the bookstore via the array.
After seeing the two leave.
Bai Hao turned to look at Pakura and Ringo Ameyuri.
"Karin and Violet should have explained the rules to you already, right?"
"Yes!"
Both replied at the same time.
Ringo Ameyuri didn't have much loyalty to Kirigakure.
After discovering how powerful this organization was, she was determined to join.
The former Pakura was a hero of Sunagakure.
Yet, she was betrayed by the Kazekage.
Directly sent to Kirigakure to die.
Therefore, Pakura felt despair towards the dark politics of Sunagakure.
And by extension, she felt despair towards the entire ninja world.
At the same time, she harbored a deep hatred.
She wanted revenge on Sunagakure, and on Kirigakure!
After being resurrected and discovering her power had increased due to it.
She became curious about the mysterious and powerful organization known as the Spirit Pavilion.
She craved greater power.
She no longer wanted to be a hero.
So, she came here obediently.
"Very good."
Bai Hao nodded, then extended his hands.
"Since you have made your decision.
Sign a contract with me.
Once the contract is signed.
Your lives will be under my control.
I can erase you in an instant.
After you've thought it through, place your hands on mine."
Upon hearing this, Pakura and Ringo Ameyuri exchanged glances.
Then, they both placed their hands on Bai Hao's.
They had already figured it out when they arrived.
So.
Although Bai Hao looked very young, like a 12-year-old child.
But.
They didn't overthink it because of that.
"Buzz~"
As the two signed the contract.
An "X" shaped tattoo of the same design also appeared on both of them.
Ringo Ameyuri's tattoo was on the outside of her right knee, where she tied her ninja tool pouch.
Pakura's was on her back.
"Alright, next, I will bestow power upon you."
Saying that.
Bai Hao took out two diamond cards.
The Groudon card and the Zekrom card, which originally didn't show matching characters.
Now showed their names.
Thus.
Bai Hao sent the Zekrom card into Ringo Ameyuri's body.
And the Groudon card into Pakura's body.
This was the same as last time when he gave Izumi the Dream Card.
Not a single trace of chakra leaked out.
Because Bai Hao had made preparations in advance.
The chakra leakage that occurred the first time he used the Ho-Oh Card would not happen again.
Looking at the two new members of the Organization who had fainted.
Bai Hao nodded with satisfaction.
Then he walked towards the bookstore's attic.
In the bookstore's attic, Rin Nohara had been confined there for over a month.
Now, her teammates had finally been found.
It was time for Bai Hao to go see her.
"Holy Lord."
Seeing Bai Hao approach.
Rin knelt obediently on one knee to pay her respects.
Completely different from how she initially wanted to negotiate with Bai Hao.
"Very good.
I have found your teammates."
Bai Hao said expressionlessly, "You can get ready.
This afternoon.
You will be able to go on a mission together."
"Yes!"
"This time, our mission is actually to deliver medicine to that person..."
Inside the Spirit Pavilion's Fire Country stronghold.
Karin said as she looked at Izumi.
She knew about Izumi's relationship with that Uchiha Itachi.
So, she was very curious.
How Izumi would react after learning about Bai Hao's mission.
"Yeah~
I didn't expect our reunion to come so quickly."
Upon hearing this, Izumi turned to look at Karin and smiled slightly.
Her large eyes immediately curved into crescent moons.
Very gentle.
"However...
Bringing him medicine is also quite good.
The Holy Lord's meaning is that he already has a terminal illness.
Without this medicine...
He won't live for 4 years.
So, the Holy Lord's intention aligns with my own wishes~
After all...
Only if Itachi lives longer...
Can he feel prolonged suffering.
How many floors do you have to carry a bag of rice up!"
"Uh..."
Karin looked at Izumi, who was still smiling so gently.
Her heart suddenly turned cold.
"This... this girl hasn't gone dark, has she!?"
"Karin...
Let's go."
"Uh...
Okay... Okay!"
The two women left the secret stronghold and headed rapidly towards Konohagakure.
Although they didn't know where Itachi was.
