The pills had already been brought out. If they were not taken quickly, their medicinal effects would only go to waste.
Ino Yamanaka did not hesitate any longer and directly put the pill into her mouth.
In an instant, a strange medicinal fragrance dissolved and spread through her mouth.
Ino Yamanaka was drawn by that fragrance into a bizarre dream.
By the seaside, sunlight warmed the sand. Ino Yamanaka seemed to see herself walking barefoot across it, letting the sea breeze stir her long hair and the waves tug at her heartstrings.
When Ino Yamanaka finally returned to reality in a daze,
she realized that the intoxicating scene from before had only been a dream.
"I..."
After uttering just one word, Ino Yamanaka realized she did not know what to say.
"Ino, you were glowing just now," Choji Akimichi suddenly said from beside her.
Only after hearing that did Ino Yamanaka realize that she had just taken a "Divine Elixir."
So had she changed somehow too?
Thinking of the astonishing transformations of Madam Shijimi and the daimyo, Ino Yamanaka wanted to find a mirror and take a good look at herself.
Ino Yamanaka's appearance had not changed drastically. Her skin had merely become more delicate, her golden hair more radiant, and her beautiful eyes seemed to shimmer like rippling water.
"Ino, how do you feel?" Shikamaru Nara asked curiously.
"I feel refreshed, like I've been given a whole new body," Ino Yamanaka said as she examined herself.
"Ye Fan, why did you give that pill to Ino?" Asuma Sarutobi asked with a stern expression.
If Ye Fan had given the "Divine Elixir" to Kurenai Yuhi, it could be attributed to the bond between master and disciple. But what was this about giving one to Ino Yamanaka?
That was not candy.
