The night was quiet, and clouds veiled the moonlight.
Yui and Nai Hyuga walked through the streets of the Land of Whirlpools, surrounded by dim lights, with Lao Ren and Jiaoya following behind.
As they walked, Nai Hyuga turned to look at Yui. Seeing how silent and downcast she was, she asked in confusion, "Yui? What's wrong? Is something on your mind?"
Yui shook her head distractedly without answering Nai Hyuga. She glanced back at the two men following them and said, "Stop following us, you two. Find somewhere to rest on your own."
With that, she ignored their resentful looks and hurried toward the Residence with Nai Hyuga.
"Creak..."
The door opened and closed. Yui quickly shut all the doors and windows, then sat cross-legged on the floor and closed her eyes to steady her breathing.
Nai Hyuga watched her movements, baffled and unsure what was going on. Still, she had no intention of disturbing her and sat quietly to one side, watching to see what she would do.
The room was dark, so she turned on the light, illuminating their surroundings. At some point, Yui had already entered Sage Mode. To Nai Hyuga's shock, the energy coursing through Yui was wildly turbulent, as though she could not suppress it.
At the sight, she grew a little panicked. She wanted to help but had no idea what to do.
Fortunately, Nai Hyuga saw no sign of pain on Yui's face.
A few minutes later, the turbulent aura dissipated. Yui abruptly opened her eyes, her red lips parted, and a luminous green glow shone from her body as it gradually separated into two.
The light faded, and the Split Body appeared again. Neither Yui nor Nai Hyuga noticed that the pale red mark on the original Yui's neck had vanished
