A faint glimmer of satisfaction appeared in Kangetsu's cold eyes. Then he said, "All right, there's no need for the barrier anymore. I'm awake now!"
At his words, everyone guarding Kangetsu apart from Jingxia and Watanabe-the Nara clansmen and the four members of the Onmyo Clan-came before him. They looked at him, dropped to one knee, and said, "Lord Kangetsu!"
A faint smile appeared on his cold little face. Kangetsu nodded and tossed out a scroll. "This is the Four Violet Flames Formation, a fairly advanced barrier among Barrier Ninjutsu! The scroll also contains the even more advanced Four Red Yang Formation. Study both carefully. You may teach them to your clans as well. From now on, you four will be my personal barrier ninja!"
With that, Kangetsu stepped forward, with Jingxia and Watanabe close behind. The four members of the Onmyo Clan beside them said excitedly, "Thank you for your gift, Lord Kangetsu! It is our honor to protect you! We, Onmyo Tian, Onmyo Di, Onmyo Xuan, and Onmyo Huang, swear to protect Lord Kangetsu with our lives!"
Their declaration drew looks of agreement from the Nara clansmen beside them!
A rare smile appeared on Kangetsu's cold face! He nodded with a smile!
Then, surrounded by his guards, he headed straight for the meeting room!
Before long, Kangetsu arrived at the same meeting room as yesterday!
The instant he entered, he saw four people gathered inside, all with dark circles under their eyes. It looked as though they had not slept all night!
Seeing Kangetsu enter, the four hurriedly greeted him. "Lord Kangetsu!"
Kangetsu surveyed them with cold eyes and nodded, then tossed them four Military Ration Pills. "The fighting begins today! But the four of you are in terrible shape right now! Going straight onto the battlefield in this condition could get you killed!"
After he finished speaking, the four swallowed the Military Ration Pills under Kangetsu's watchful gaze!
In an instant, the four exhausted men regained their energy. The potency of the pills left them visibly shocked!
Inoue had taken Military Ration Pills before and naturally knew their effects, but the one Kangetsu had just given him was far more effective than the one he had taken last time!
After all, Kangetsu had painstakingly made these himself! Ordinary Military Ration Pills could not compare! Isshin and the other two were utterly astonished, while Akimichi Cho, who was familiar with pharmacology, exclaimed in shock, "Lord Kangetsu, these are Military Ration Pills? With effects like these, they're practically a second life for a ninja! With these, I believe our combat strength on the battlefield will be far beyond anything ordinary people could match!"
