"Okay, I understand!"

Since even Minato Namikaze hadn't detected the faint chakra fluctuation, Uchiha Yue could only silently console himself, thinking he'd been overly sensitive lately. Following Minato's instructions, Uchiha Yue Minato Namikaze tended to his injuries. Furthermore, before using Medical Ninjutsu to further heal, Uchiha Yue activated his Purple Eye to observe his body and assess the progress of his internal injuries.

However, when Uchiha Yue began to use his Purple Eye to observe the situation inside his body, he couldn't help but frown slightly.

Clearly, Uchiha Yue's condition was not very good. The ninjas from the Yakunin Village were extremely ruthless, and almost every attack that hit Uchiha Yue contained terrifying toxins. Even if Uchiha Yue completely cleared the toxins from his body, some toxins would still remain, affecting his recovery.

Otherwise, Uchiha Yue could have fully healed his injuries using Medical Ninjutsu, making it completely unnecessary to linger in the Land of Land of Medicine for so long. However, the toxins remaining in Uchiha Yue's body weren't a significant threat; he just needed some time to recover. What concerned Uchiha Yue was that he couldn't continue his previous training during his recovery period.

After all, Uchiha Yue's previous wounds were too terrible. If he were to train arduously during his recovery period, it would very likely leave hidden injuries in his body. Therefore, Uchiha Yue could only sigh deeply and decided to use only the Uchiha Yue Uzumaki Clan Secret Technique to cultivate his spiritual energy and do some training to accumulate chakra during his recovery period.

Then, just as Uchiha Yue was sighing to himself, Kushina Uzumaki Uchiha Yue.

However, when Kushina Uzumaki returned to the house, her expression was not good. Kushina Uzumaki then smiled apologetically at Uchiha Yue and said, "I'm sorry, Yue, I just went out and looked around, but I couldn't find the medicinal herbs you need. I'm afraid all the herbs in Licorice Town have already been bought up by those guys from the Yakunin Village. Your injuries will probably need more time to fully recover."

"It's alright, Kushina."

Hearing Kushina Uzumaki's words, Uchiha Yue smiled slightly and said, "Being able to recuperate for a while is actually not bad. During this time, I can properly summarize the previous battles and accumulate more combat experience. Moreover, even while recuperating, I can properly train my chakra and mental energy. So, Kushina, you don't need to feel apologetic. The one who should truly feel apologetic is me. If it weren't for me, you might have already returned to the Land of Fire."

"Moon Lord, aren't you being too polite?"

Just as Uchiha Yue was speaking, Minato Namikaze smiled and said, "Since you don't mind staying in the Land of Medicine a little longer, how could Kushina and I possibly mind? Besides, you were injured because of me and Kushina, so it's our responsibility to take good care of you."

Then, Minato Namikaze, recalling what had happened earlier with Uchiha Yue, turned his gaze to Kushina Uzumaki and asked, "Kushina, did you spot any of those Yakunin Village guys in Licorice Town? Just now, Tsuki-kun told me he detected faint chakra fluctuations near our house. If Tsuki-kun isn't mistaken, those Yakunin Village guys have probably infiltrated Licorice Town, and their target is very likely us!"

"Chakra fluctuations?"

As soon as Minato Namikaze Kushina Uzumaki shook her head blankly and said, "When we first arrived at Licorice Town, I already checked the area around it, and there wasn't a trace of chakra fluctuation at all. I think Yue has been too tired lately, which is why she had that strange feeling. However..."

At this point, a serious glint flashed in Kushina Uzumaki's eyes. She continued speaking to Uchiha Yue and Minato Namikaze, "However, when I was buying the medicinal herbs Tsuki needed in Licorice Town, I heard that strange things had been happening there for the past year. And the reason the prices are so cheap where we're staying now is because strange things keep happening around us. Apparently, the people of Licorice Town even hired ninjas from Yakunin Village to investigate, but those guys from Yakunin Village didn't do anything unusual, and the matter was dropped."

"Oh?"

When Kushina Uzumaki mentioned this, both Uchiha Yue and Minato Namikaze's expressions became much more serious, clearly indicating that they didn't believe these rumors were unfounded. Then, just as Uchiha Yue and Kushina Uzumaki were discussing this matter, Hizashi Hyuga had already gathered the information and appeared before Uchiha Yue and Minato Namikaze at the same time.

Furthermore, when Hizashi Hyuga overheard Uchiha Yue and the others discussing their situation, he said quite seriously, "That's right, the strange occurrences in Licorice Town aren't unfounded. It's just that those guys from Yakunin Village are too incompetent to notice anything unusual about Licorice Town. When I went out to gather intelligence just now, I heard that civilians in Licorice Town were mysteriously disappearing. If I'm not mistaken, there's probably a ninja hiding near Licorice Town, and that ninja is conducting human experiments!"

"Human experimentation?"

When Hyuga Hizashi Hyuga, Uchiha Yue, Minato Namikaze, and the others had different expressions, and then they all fell silent.

Then, after Kushina Uzumaki took a deep breath, she finally broke the silence and said, "In short, what we need to do most right now is to provide Yue with a safe environment to recover properly. As for the strange things that happened in Licorice Town, let's not discuss them anymore. After all, those strange things have nothing to do with us, so let's not talk about them anymore. Now everyone should go back and rest!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Kushina Uzumaki returned to her room, seemingly ready to rest.

However, Uchiha Yue found Kushina Uzumaki's attitude even more strange. After all, Kushina Uzumaki was never a docile person, and her suggestion was rather suspicious. Sure enough, just as Uchiha Yue thinking this, he suddenly noticed that Kushina Uzumaki Purple Eye Minato Namikaze placed in his hand earlier.

When Uchiha Yue noticed Kushina Uzumaki's secret actions, he couldn't help but smile helplessly, thinking to himself:

"Kushina, you're just like Liu Laogen, you really are a restless person!"
