.Never See Again

Nairaku helped Yakumo to her feet and led her to Idu's side!

Poor Idu, nailed to the wall by Nairaku's demon path, unable to move. No matter how hard he fought, he couldn't break free!

"Yakumo, I could kill Idu, but he is your inner demon, also your calamity; a calamity must be crossed by yourself in the end!"

"Only by slaying your own inner demon can you truly let go; otherwise, it will never be complete!"

Yakumo stared at the monster before her, seeming a little frightened, and couldn't help but shrink back into Nairaku's embrace!

Nairaku patted Yakumo, slipping the Zanpō Blade into her hand.

Although Yakumo took the Zanpō Blade, her hands that gripped the sword kept trembling!

Nairaku embraced her from behind, his hands on Yakumo's small hands, and together they grasped the hilt of the Zanpō Blade!

The firm, resolute hands seemed to give Yakumo great courage; she finally stopped trembling!

"Then, are you ready?" Nairaku whispered in Yakumo's ear!

"Hmm!" Yakumo bit her lower lip and answered firmly!

Seeing Yakumo's determination, Nairaku said no more.

With his large hand holding her small hand, Nairaku raised the Zanpō Blade horizontally, the blade pointing backward, the hilt forward toward Idu!

"Don't, don't kill me, you shouldn't listen to them, they're lying to you!"

"Stop! I am one with you, I can give up devouring you, just let me live!"

"Did you hear that, you bastard, stop right now!"

"Ah, bastard, I'm going to kill you all..."

Facing the Zanpō Blade, Idu felt the threat of death.

He went from begging for mercy at first, to threatening later!

But that couldn't stop Nairaku and Yakumo; the Zanpō Blade moved slowly yet steadily forward!

At last, the base of the hilt was only an inch away from Idu's forehead!

"Nagging! So annoying, I'm sending you to where you belong!"

"Oh, that's not right, you're just a derivative of the main personality; after death you'll turn to dust, unable to reach the world where the soul resides!"

"So, goodbye, never see you again!"

"Soul Burial!"

With a low roar from Nairaku, the hilt of the Zanpō Blade began to emit a soft light!

But that light shining on Idu's face only made him more terrified, even his roar involuntarily rose half a pitch!

Finally, the hilt touched Idu's forehead; the Idu who had been roaring and struggling suddenly froze in place!

Nairaku withdrew the Zanpō Blade; where the hilt touched Idu's forehead a "Soul" rune appeared, then Idu's body gradually glowed, the light spreading over his whole form before turning into light particles that dissipated!

A moment later, Idu completely vanished before the three of them, and after his disappearance, the previously dim and lifeless consciousness world gradually brightened, like dawn after night!

"Nairaku‑kun, you..."

At that moment, Yakumo finally realized that Nairaku's embrace from behind seemed a bit intimate, and she immediately felt a little shy!

"Ahem... sorry, the situation was special just now!" Nairaku awkwardly explained.

Goodness, adding up his past lives, apart from his own sister, this was the first time he'd held a girl like this; he'd been focused on Idu and felt nothing.

Now that he's back to his senses, Yakumo may be young, but people from the Hokage world develop early; at eleven or twelve, Yakumo should already be… almost grown, phew… almost embarrassed!

"It's… it's fine, I know you were helping me just now!" Yakumo lowered her head, blushing, explaining for Nairaku!

"Idu… that's it? Just wiped out so easily?"

Yūhi Akabane looked incredulous; after all, the Third Hokage had tried everything to eliminate Idu without hurting Yakumo, and could only seal him in the end!

But with Nairaku, from start to finish, it was just a single step, a seal, plus a hilt, the monster that had plagued the Third and Yūhi Akabane was gone with ease!

"Actually it's nothing special; my power just happens to suppress a being like Idu!"

"Besides, even if I didn't act, as long as Yakumo is resolute in destroying Idu, it can be erased!"

"After all, Idu exists because of Yakumo's long‑standing negative emotions; once Yakumo unties the knot, gaining the courage to face her own darkness, Idu will no longer be a problem!"

Seeing Yūhi Akabane's doubt, Nairaku explained to her!

"Is that so?" Yūhi Akabane's mind clicked instantly!

"Alright, problem solved, let's get out. See you outside!"

Nairaku waved at the two, turning into a streak of light and disappearing from Yakumo's consciousness world!

stretched."...
Outside, Naïluo, whose spirit had returned, stood up and stretched.

English text.In the next moment, Yakumo and Yuhiko opened their eyes, too.

Looking at Yuhihong sitting in front of him, Yakumo rose and threw himself into her arms!

Xi Ri Hong: "Alright, you silly girl, it's all over now. From today on, just live a good life!"

Yakumo: "Hmm, I understand, Teacher Hong!"

Yuhi Hong: "Even if you can't become a ninja, that's fine. I'll always be your teacher, and from now on I'll protect you. No one will dare to bully you!"

*"Actually, Yakumo still has a chance to become a ninja!"

text.Seeing Yūhi Akane comforting Yakumo there, Naraku couldn't help but speak up!

?"**"What?"* "What?"

!"Yakumo and Yūhizaka both spoke at the same time!

"The main reason Yakumo can't become a ninja is that her physical condition is too weak. If I can help her heal her body, then it won't be a problem, right?"

"Narak‑kun… is what you said true? Can I really become a ninja?"

.Yakumo looked at Naraku with an excited expression!

English text."Hmm, I can heal you, but it'll take some time. After all, your body is far too weak; you might not be able to handle it all at once, so we'll have to take it slow."

"I suggest that, for the time being, you stay with the Hinata clan; that way it'll be easier for me to treat you!"

English text.When she heard she would be staying at Nairaku's house, Yakumo felt a little embarrassed: "Is that alright? Would I be imposing on you, Nairaku‑kun?"

."It's fine; I promised this for Yakumo!"

English text.After all, Yakumo's parents have already passed away, and although she has other relatives, they hardly keep in touch; she's been living on her own all these years.

Besides, you already mentioned that the atmosphere at Lijian Qiu Manor is too gloomy and not suitable for staying there long. Going to your house is just right—it can both aid her recovery and give her someone to keep her company!

English text.Seeing Yakumo still hesitating, Yuhirou couldn't hold back any longer and immediately agreed on her behalf.

English text."Silly girl, if you like him, just go for it—don't think hesitation will make you lose. Once you join the Hyūga clan, after some time you won't have to worry about the two of you not growing close. That's all I can help you with; the rest is up to you!"

English text.Xiri Hong looked at the two of them with a smug, triumphant grin!
