What You Owe Me, Remember to Repay

"Water."

"Water."

In the endless darkness, in the pitch-black space, Uchiha Yue finally saw a glimmer of light. Immediately, he felt as if his throat was being burned by fire, desperately needing the hydration of cool spring water. Finally, he felt a cool sensation on his lips. Still in a daze, Uchiha Yue could only rely on instinct to greedily suck in that coolness to relieve the burning sensation in his throat.

I don't know how much time has passed, it's one, there's still a year left...

As the burning sensation deep in his throat subsided, Uchiha Yue's thoughts finally returned to normal. However, when he tried to open his eyes, he discovered how difficult it was. Despite repeated attempts, the incredibly determined Uchiha Clan Uchiha Yue not give up. Finally, with all his strength, he opened his Uchiha Yue, only to be met with endless darkness once again.

Is he dead?

Looking at the endless darkness before him, Uchiha Yue couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly, then murmured, "I remember, in my final moments, Mei Terumi helped me Hand Seals and used Creation Rebirth to heal the fatal wound in my chest, didn't she? I never imagined that I, Uchiha Yue, would ultimately perish within the Land of Wind. Perhaps... perhaps this is the price I pay for killing the Third Kazekage by chance!"

"Uchiha Yue, you think you can die so easily?"

Just as Uchiha Yue arrived, to his surprise, Uchiha Yue 'Mei Terumi voice fell, a warm human body suddenly moved next to Uchiha Yue, just in time Mei Terumi shield him from the cold wind coming from outside.

Then, Mei Terumi's voice rang in Uchiha Yue's ears once again.

"Uchiha Yue, it seems you're not as formidable as I imagined! A mighty Asura, yet you're afraid of death—that's truly unexpected!"

"But."

"You just killed the Third Kazekage, is that true?"

"Heh, of course it's true."

Upon learning from Mei Terumi's words that he had not died, Uchiha Yue felt a surge of joy at surviving a near-death experience Uchiha Yue his feet, Uchiha Yue suddenly felt waves of sharp pain throughout his body, causing him to cry out in agony and collapse to the ground once more.

Mei Terumi, who had been eagerly awaiting Uchiha Yue's awakening, saw him struggle to get up immediately after waking, only to collapse to the ground again due to excruciating pain. She couldn't help but berate him, saying, "Uchiha Yue, do you really want to die? You've just woken up, how can you possibly move your body like that? Do you know how much effort I've put into healing you these past few days? I'm warning you, if you move again, don't blame me for personally ending your life!"

"Okay, I understand."

After hearing Mei Terumi's words, Uchiha Yue sighed helplessly. Under Mei Terumi's care, he found a comfortable position to lie down. Only after Mei Terumi had arranged Uchiha Yue comfortably did Uchiha Yue remain silent for a long time before Mei Terumi, "Uchiha Yue, how long Mei Terumi I unconscious? "Uchiha Yue

"You've been unconscious for a full eight days!"

Mei Terumi soon as Uchiha Yue finished speaking, Terumi Mei took a deep breath and said, "If you weren't still breathing, I would have given up on you. Those guys in Sunagakure already know about the massacre of their entire elite force. So, even if I disguised myself and took you to the towns of the Land of Wind to find doctors, I could only find some quack doctors from the village chiefs. Luckily, you, Uchiha Yue, are lucky; even without the medicine prescribed by those quacks, you were able to regain consciousness."

"Now..."

A joyful smile appeared on Mei Terumi's delicate face. She then continued speaking Mei Terumi Uchiha Yue Uchiha Yue, "Now that you're awake, you can heal yourself, right? Even the most severe injuries shouldn't be beyond your ability to help, right? Once you've recovered a little, check your injuries and see how long it will Tsunade to fully recover!"

"Okay! I'll try it now!"

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Yue, lying there, nodded heavily, and then prepared to use his Purple Eye to check his injuries.

However, to Uchiha Yue's utter surprise, just as he was about to use his Purple Eye to examine his injuries, a sharp pain surged from the depths of his mind, almost causing Uchiha Yue to faint again. To avoid worrying Uchiha Yue Mei, and unable to cry out in pain, Uchiha Yue only silently endure the maddening agony, causing his Mei Terumi features to contort in agony.

After a long while, once the excruciating pain deep within Uchiha Yue's mind subsided, Uchiha Yue realized that his mental energy was severely depleted and he would likely need some time to recover before he could use the Purple Eye again. Then, upon learning that he couldn't heal himself in the short term, Uchiha Yue sighed helplessly and said to Mei Terumi before him, "Mei Terumi, my current condition is really bad. It may take a long time before I can heal myself."

Then, Uchiha Yue remembered something and said to Mei Terumi, "Mei Terumi, there are some red bottles in my ninja tool pouch. See if there are any pills left. Those pills are a secret medicine I developed before. If I take that medicine every day, I can recover my strength and heal my injuries sooner. Now, go check for me!"

"Okay!"

Hearing Uchiha Yue's words, Mei Terumi immediately stood up and took Uchiha Yue's ninja tool pouch. After Uchiha Yue confirmed it was safe, she took out a secret pill from a red porcelain bottle and put it into Uchiha Yue's mouth. After Uchiha Yue the secret pill she had developed, he Uchiha Yue felt that the pain in his body had lessened considerably. He even felt a cool current flowing through his body, slowly repairing his severely injured body.

After feeling that his injuries had been brought under control, Uchiha Yue sighed and prepared to take a nap.

Unexpectedly, just as Uchiha Yue was about to go to sleep...

Mei Terumi's extremely pleasant voice once again appeared in Uchiha Yue's ears.

"Uchiha Yue, you took a Kunai for me, consider it repaying me with my life."

"But I saved your life, so you owe me another life, right?"

"Remember to pay me back what you owe me!"
