Kurenai Yuhi sat cross-legged as Chakra flowed through Yakumo's meridians. She carefully examined Yakumo's physical condition.
"Mm, there's nothing seriously wrong with your body. Although it hasn't improved, it hasn't gotten worse either. You still need to maintain a healthy lifestyle in your daily life."
Kurenai Yuhi finished her examination and spoke.
"I told you there was nothing wrong. If that's all, then let's leave it at that." Yakumo spoke indifferently.
"Wait a moment. Since I'm already here, I might as well check the seal inside you too."
Before Yakumo could refuse, Kurenai Yuhi's spiritual power gathered and entered Yakumo's mind.
She carefully examined the seal inside Yakumo and found no damage or defects.
Kurenai raised her head and glanced at Narak, indicating that there was nothing unusual about Yakumo's condition.
Narak lowered his head and pondered for a moment before saying to Yakumo on the ground, "Miss Yakumo, if you don't mind, I'll examine your body together with Miss Kurenai."
Yakumo opened her eyes and looked at Narak.
"Mm!"
She responded softly, which counted as agreeing to Narak's request.
Narak sat cross-legged beside Kurenai.
He did not rush to explore Yakumo's mental world. Instead, he first used Responded to examine Yakumo's physical condition.
After examining her, Narak discovered that Yakumo's physical condition was truly terrible.
Yakumo's condition was congenital. The organs throughout her body were extremely fragile, as if she were a newborn baby.
That was also why she could not become a ninja. Her body simply could not support high-intensity ninja training!
"Fortunately, I checked first. I didn't rashly take action right away."
Narak secretly congratulated himself.
With physical conditions like Yakumo's, if they fought in her mental world later, her body might also be injured. She could easily end up losing half her life.
Responded was cast over Narak's hand. After advancing to intermediate Responded, the faint white light had gradually grown denser!
The silvery-white radiance lit up the somewhat dim studio, illuminating it by several degrees!
Kurenai Yuhi and Yakumo both watched curiously, unsure what Narak intended to do.
Narak placed his palm, which shimmered with white light, against Yakumo's lower abdomen. In an instant, the light spread throughout Yakumo's body.
"Mm... This feels so good..."
At that moment, Yakumo could not help crying out softly, but she immediately flushed with embarrassment.
"How embarrassing. Why did I say something like that in front of Narak-kun...? But... it really feels so good..."
Lying on the floor, Yakumo was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a crack to hide in.
"Mm, all right. This should take care of it!" Narak said as he clapped his hands.
To prevent Yakumo from being injured, he used Responded to temporarily strengthen and stabilize her body. At the same time, he left a trace of Kido's power inside Yakumo to continuously maintain and regulate it.
"Narak-kun, I never expected you to possess such superb medical skills!"
Kurenai Yuhi was astonished by what she saw!
It was one thing for ten-year-old Hyuga Naraku to already possess Jonin-level strength. After all, some geniuses were born with a faster cultivation speed than others. But he also possessed an extremely strong combat talent, and now he had displayed such ingenious medical skills.
This made Kurenai Yuhi extremely curious about Narak. She also somewhat understood why the Third Hokage had said that Narak had always been hiding his true abilities.
Narak smiled but did not answer Kurenai Yuhi.
"Then, Miss Kurenai, let's confirm Yakumo's seal once more together!"
Narak gave Kurenai Yuhi another meaningful look, and she understood at once!
"Mm, Narak-kun should check it again. After all, when it comes to healing, Narak-kun is indeed superior to me. If there are any oversights, we can make up for them."
"What acting!" Narak silently gave Kurenai Yuhi a thumbs-up in his mind.
On the way to Satomi Hill Villa, Narak and Kurenai Yuhi had already discussed their plan.
Kurenai Yuhi would be the first to enter Yakumo's mental world and draw out Yakumo's evil consciousness, "Ido." Narak would then take care of it.
That was why Kurenai Yuhi cooperatively entered Yakumo's mind again.
As for Narak, he took a deep breath and silently recited in his heart, "Death God Transformation!"
The next instant, a figure dressed in a black Death God garb with a Zanpakuto hanging from his waist floated out of Narak's body.
The figure was somewhat translucent at first, but after completely separating from Narak's body, it instantly transformed into an existence resembling a physical body.
Aside from wearing black instead of Narak's white clothes, the figure looked exactly like Narak in every other respect. It was clearly Narak's soul after undergoing Death God Transformation.
Narak in his black Death God garb had an entirely different style from the Narak who usually wore white. If the white-clad Narak resembled a gentle and modest noble young master, then the Narak in the Death God garb now gave off an aura of decisiveness and mercilessness!
Death God Transformation was an ability Narak had only figured out after his Zanpakuto's initial release.
However, perhaps because the ninjas of the Naruto world possessed Chakra and were cultivators, they could see Narak after his Death God Transformation, while ordinary people still could not.
That was the conclusion Narak had reached after experimenting several times. After mastering Death God Transformation, he had walked around the village in his Death God form, and many ninjas who knew him had greeted him along the way.
As for the untrained villagers, they could not see Narak at all, even when he stood right in front of them.
It was worth mentioning that Narak did not need to rely on any other item. With merely a thought, he could undergo Death God Transformation directly!
Mastering Death God Transformation was also why Narak claimed that he might be able to help Kurama Yakumo.
After all, in Narak's view, Ido, which had been created from the resentment inside Yakumo, had an essential similarity to Hollows from the Death God world.
The power of his Death God Transformation might be able to restrain it!
After glancing at Yakumo and Kurenai Yuhi, who had their eyes tightly shut, Narak transformed into a streak of light and entered Yakumo's mind.
"Clack..."
After entering Yakumo's mind, Narak's feet touched the ground with a soft sound!
Narak raised his head and looked at the surrounding illusion!
He was currently in a corridor. Darkness surrounded him, and the place felt somewhat unfamiliar. Narak did not know where this was.
"Mm, this should be a scene constructed from Yakumo's memories. It doesn't look like Satomi Hill Villa. It's probably her former home, right?" Narak pondered.
"I wonder where Miss Kurenai and Yakumo are. I need to find them quickly. If this drags on too long, something might go wrong!"
Narak ran forward along the corridor. Flash Step activated beneath his feet, and his speed became as fast as lightning. Now that Narak had transformed into a spirit, free from the burden of a physical body, his speed had increased by another level!
In the blink of an eye, he finished searching the entire first floor.
"Nothing? I'll look upstairs!" Narak frowned. He glanced at the staircase to the side and headed toward the second floor.
"Tap, tap, tap..."
Just as Narak was about to go upstairs, he heard a series of footsteps coming from the staircase.
"Narak-kun!"
Kurama Yakumo, dressed in house clothes, appeared at the turn of the stairs!
"Miss Yakumo? Why are you here alone? Where's Miss Kurenai?"
"Teacher Kurenai? She left after checking the seal just now. Didn't Narak-kun see her? Looks like you two missed each other!"
Hearing Narak's question, Yakumo covered the corner of her mouth with her small hand and giggled.
"Oh? Is that so?" Narak narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke indifferently!
