Meanwhile, Amamiya Ye had received Shiyu's message long ago and was naturally waiting for her daughter and benefactor at the outer gate of Daimyo City.
This time, Amamiya Ye didn't dress up as an old servant, but instead wore magnificent noble attire; however, a hint of paleness could be seen on his face.
When he saw Suisen and Shiyu, he immediately burst into tears.
"Perhaps, the profession of ninja was originally meant to help others. That might be the original intention of the Sage of Sage of Six Paths' Ninshu, rather than using Ninjutsu to fight each other." Shiyu was also somewhat moved as he watched this reunion.
"Really? You actually saved Suisen! Thank you so much!" Amamiya Ye was overjoyed and immediately held a welcoming banquet for her daughter and Shiyu, inviting Shiyu to her residence.
After a lavish feast, Amamiya Ye, taking advantage of Suisen's absence, asked her privately, "Mr. Shiyu, you're not married yet, are you? What do you think of my daughter, Suisen? I've said it before: if he can save my daughter, I will give him the Amamiya Family's fortune, and he will become my son-in-law! As someone with experience, I can sense your feelings for Suisen!"
"So, quit being a ninja and come here! I heard you have some business, so you must be a businessman," Ye advised.
"Mr. Ye, I am no ordinary ninja. I am the last disciple of the Third Hokage. If I give up becoming a ninja, it would be a blow to the entire Konoha and the Land of Fire. At that time, many people will blame you for instigating me." Shiyu also rejected Ye half-jokingly.
"Oh, that's alright. You can be a ninja if you want. You can be a ninja, or you can go into business, anything is fine. My biggest wish is for you to take good care of me, your only daughter," Amamiya Ye said with a somewhat complicated expression.
Shiyu politely declined again, saying, "Parents all over the world have the same heart. I understand that you are thinking about your daughter's future, but I am not even ten years old yet, and Miss Suisen Xian is not much older either."
"Age isn't the issue; the important thing is inheritance," Amamiya Ye emphasized somewhat helplessly.
Amamiya Ye's expression seemed somewhat sorrowful, though it was only fleeting, Shiyu still keenly noticed it.
"Why do I feel like I'm entrusting my child to someone else?" Shiyu also found it very strange.
"Could it be?" With a single thought, Shiyu activated his Sharingan. Shiyu could clearly see that Amamiya Ye's heart rate was lower than normal, and the flow of energy through his meridians was severely blocked.
It's obvious that Amamiya Ye doesn't have long to live.
"Strange. Before Mei Terumi and I set off, I didn't think Yo was this weak. How could this be?" Shiyu then used her keen observation skills to carefully examine Amamiya Ye's body and indeed found some bluish-purple substances inside.
"The bluish-purple substance... it's poison!? Someone poisoned us!?" Shiyu was also somewhat surprised.
Amamiya Ye, known as the wealthiest of the three in the Land of Fire, possesses a noble title and is considered an important official in the Land of Fire. How could she have been poisoned?
"Mr. Ye, tell me honestly, what happened after I left here?" Shiyu asked directly.
Amamiya Ye was also taken aback and said, "You noticed? I'm so sorry."
"Nothing strange happened after you left, but I feel like I'm getting weaker every day. Maybe they did it. Maybe I'm just overthinking it," Amamiya Ye said, patting her head.
Shiyu shook her head and immediately went up to him.
"I don't know who you're talking about, but it was definitely them. You were poisoned, Amamiya Ye."
Shiyu immediately followed up with a question, "Since you've been managing the Amamiya Family's business, and your daughter has been kidnapped, eliminating you might allow them to directly seize your family's assets. Think about it, who are your competitors?"
Without hesitation, Amamiya Ye said, "Could it be them? The Nakajima Family?"
"Nakajima? I seem to remember him a little?" Shiyu recalled that when he first became a ninja, Xiao Xing worked for Suisen, and a rich kid named Nakajima had bullied Xiao Xing.
He wanted to pursue Suisen at the time, but in the end Xiao Xing said that his purpose was to seize the Amamiya Family's property.
"You know Nakajima, right? Let me give you a brief explanation."
"Of the three richest merchants in the Land of Fire, one is Amamiya and the other is Nakajima. We each have our own businesses, and they are always at odds with us. If anyone could possibly poison me, it would only be the Nakajima Family," Amamiya Ye said.
"Cough cough cough!" Amamiya Ye suddenly started coughing up blood, clearly indicating that she had been poisoned for a long time.
"Father!" Just then, Suisen happened to witness this scene.
"What's wrong?!" Suisen's eyes were also filled with tears.
"Don't worry, let me see if I can heal him." Shiyu then placed his hand on Amamiya Ye's body, attempting to use his ability to unleash potential to detoxify Amamiya Ye. However, Amamiya Ye didn't have much chakra, and Shiyu quickly realized that the poison was not simple.
"Konoha... how can there be such a master of poison?" Shiyu shook his head. Shiyu himself was completely immune to poison. With the power of the Ryūchi Cave Sage combined with the Bloody Power Mode, the Eight Dragon Reincarnation, and so on, even the most complex and toxic poisons would be instantly neutralized by Shiyu. But curing other people's poisons? That was a big problem.
Shiyu shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't help you. There are only two people in the entire Shinobi World who can cure Mr. Ye's poison. I can only suppress it temporarily."
"Two people? Who are they?!" Suisen was also very anxious.
"One is Tsunade, one of the Legendary Konoha Sannin, and the other is Sunagakure, a puppeteer and master of poison from Chiyo," Shiyu guessed. "I'm afraid this poison was also prepared by Chiyo. It's already quite good that I can suppress it for a while."
Suisen immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Shiyu! Please, save my father!"
"I will, you get up first." Shiyu Yu helped the somewhat agitated Suisen to her feet, then said to Ye.
"Chiyo is far away in Sunagakure, Tsunade are unknown. I can help you suppress the poison for at most a few months, and I will do my best to find Tsunade."
"Why don't you and Shiyu father go together? That way, once you find Lady Tsunade, you can heal her directly," Suisen suggested.
"No! After suppressing the toxins, Mr. Ye's body will be unable to move. Moreover, if Mr. Ye is not around, the Nakajima Family will definitely become suspicious and may directly take over the Amamiya Family's business. If Mr. Ye pretends that his condition has worsened and stays at home, the enemy will stop their actions and observe you cautiously."
"Do as I say, Mr. Ye. Only in this way can we win."
"Mr. Ye, your tea is here." A voice called out.
