But unlike last time, when she had been terrified, Kurenai Yuhi was deeply grateful to Bai Yue this time.
"Sister Hong, I'm going to rest for a while. At most, an hour or two. Please watch over me during that time."
"Okay!" Kurenai Yuhi nodded immediately.
"Then I'm going to sleep!" With that, Bai Yue simply closed his eyes and rested.
Although he did not feel comfortable being examined and treated at Konoha Hospital, he was somewhat at ease using it as a place to rest.
After all, it was not just Kurenai Yuhi. Two guards were also keeping watch in the shadows.
"This little bean is quite cute when he's asleep~" Kurenai Yuhi murmured after studying Bai Yue, who had fallen asleep almost instantly.
Sitting beside the hospital bed, Kurenai Yuhi took on the role of caregiver.
When Bai Yue woke up, he felt light all over, as though he had been transformed.
"Mm~" He stretched comfortably. This feeling was simply incredible!
Naturally, Bai Yue's movements caught Kurenai Yuhi's attention. "You're awake?!"
Wasn't that obvious? It wasn't like I sleepwalked~
"Yeah. Sorry to trouble you, Sister Hong!" Bai Yue was still the polite, well-behaved child he had always been.
"Not at all~" Kurenai Yuhi hurriedly waved her hand. Compared to Bai Yue thanking her, she felt that she should be thanking him instead. "Thank you so much today. If it weren't for you, Anko would have suffered who knows how much more!"
"It was just a small matter~" Bai Yue said with a smile.
His smile was utterly innocent~
Seeing that smile, Kurenai Yuhi felt as though she had been healed. She really liked it.
It was like an exhausted office worker suddenly seeing two carefree children playing happily and unconsciously smiling.
"How strange. I'm not that old myself, so why do I like his smile so much?"
What a strange feeling?!
"Sister Hong, unless something unexpected happens, Sister Anko should wake up tomorrow. When she does, remember to have a Medical Ninja give her a full examination." After jumping off the bed and putting on his shoes, Bai Yue reminded her.
"Got it~" Kurenai Yuhi smiled as she rubbed Bai Yue's little head.
Just you wait. Sooner or later, I'll make you pay!
This was the first time Bai Yue wished he could grow up faster! Then he could teach this woman a harsh lesson!
"Well then~ I should head home. If Sister Anko has any unusual symptoms or doesn't wake up, remember to find me. Goodbye!" Bai Yue slapped away Kurenai Yuhi's hand and left before she could answer.
He could not wait to study the Sage Chakra from Jugo.
"Got it. Be careful on the way!" Kurenai Yuhi had wanted to escort Bai Yue home, but the thought of Hyuga Jinren's disdainful gaze made her angrily abandon the idea.
That damned old man!
Meanwhile, after returning home, Bai Yue even ignored Old Master and eagerly rushed into the Research Lab.
"Why is this child so excited? Did something good happen?"
"Ah!!!" Moments later, a miserable scream echoed through the underground Research Lab.
Fortunately, the Barrier placed around the underground Research Lab included soundproofing. Otherwise, it would have scared the wits out of anyone unaware of what was happening.
"Where did it go?! Where did my huge Jugo Cells go?! Damn it!" Bai Yue was nearly speechless.
He had clearly followed the formula used in Orochimaru's Curse Mark of Heaven, using his own Chakra and Natural Energy to nourish Jugo's Sage Chakra. Why had that Sage Chakra simply vanished?!
This was downright bizarre!
"There's no way my formula has a problem!" Bai Yue had great confidence in his Sealing Jutsu and did not believe there was anything wrong with his formula. "So where exactly is the problem?!"
"Besides~ even if my formula did have a problem, the Sage Chakra shouldn't have vanished outright. It should have gone berserk instead."
Bai Yue frowned, racking his brain over where the problem lay!
Wait! Holy shit!
In an instant, immense joy swept through Bai Yue's body.
[Name]: Hyuga Baiyue (Bai Yue) [Talent]: Perfect Blood [Bloodline]: Byakugan lv3 (89%) [Special Mode]: Sage Mode lv0 (1%) [Skills]: Gentle Fist Style lv4 (29%) Eight Trigrams Palms lv1 (45%) Konoha Steel Fist Style lv1 (29%) Sealing Jutsu lv7 (11%) Caged Bird lv4 (18%) Medical Ninjutsu lv3 (33%) [Draws]: 0
Holy crap!
Perfect Blood was amazing!
Bai Yue had never expected that simply sealing Jugo's Sage Chakra inside his body would cause Perfect Blood to directly integrate it into him.
He had guessed that as long as bloodlines and such were fused into his body, Perfect Blood could perfectly assimilate them. But he had never imagined it would be this powerful!
After just one night's sleep, it had fused Jugo's Sage Chakra into his body and turned it into something that belonged to him!
"Great! With Perfect Blood, sooner or later I'll be able to purify and evolve my bloodline. Forget the so-called Otsutsuki bloodline—I might even reach an even higher level."
That damned Big Roulette's guaranteed reward from the very first draw had been absolutely perfect!
"I need to get started on Sage Mode right away!"
Bai Yue eagerly began training Sage Mode. He even raised Sage Mode's priority to the very top!
After all, Sage Mode was ridiculously powerful.
Whether it was physical abilities, Ninjutsu power, perception, or recovery, it provided an all-around boost.
And the boost was incredibly substantial!
Bai Yue devoted all his energy to training Sage Mode.
He became so immersed that he even forgot when Minato Namikaze and Kushina's Wedding was being held.
"Bai Yue, studying and training are certainly important, but you also need to know when to rest!" Hyuga Jinren said sternly.
"I understand, Grandpa~" Bai Yue lowered his head and let his old man scold him.
"Sigh!" Seeing this, Hyuga Jinren sighed worriedly. He knew his own great-grandson was not easy to persuade. Otherwise, he would not spend every day immersed in training and studying!
"Let's go~"
"Hm? Where to?" Bai Yue asked, confused.
"Tomorrow is the Fourth Hokage's Wedding. Grandpa will take you there first to have a look~"
"Has it already been that many days?!" Bai Yue was shocked!
Time really passed quickly!
Still, his gains had been pretty good.
Glancing at the lv2 Sage Mode on the Panel, Bai Yue was quite satisfied.
"Yeah~" Hyuga Jinren said irritably. "You spend every day cooped up in that Research Lab of yours. You probably can't even tell day from night anymore!"
"Hehe..." Bai Yue scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. "Then, Grandpa, let's head over right away. We'll pass by Xinye Street on the way—I need to pick up the customized gift I ordered there."
"Mm~ Let's go now..." Hyuga Jinren rose to his feet and slowly led Bai Yue toward the Wedding venue.
