Whether it's emotions, soul, will, or spiritual energy... all beings with a lifespan ultimately cannot escape the God's Judgment.
Even the Sage of Six Paths, who once became the Ten-Tails Jinchuriki, had to submit to the Pure Land when his life came to an end.
Some lingering negative emotions merged with Kurama Yakumo's soul, and the memories lost during this period also surfaced in his mind.
"How could this happen? Dad, Mom, Teacher Hong... What... what did I do?"
In an instant, Kurama Yakumo, who was kind-hearted and constantly forced himself to bear the hopes of his parents and clan, once again became the ruler of the Genjutsu world.
However, at this moment, all she could do was curl up, hug her knees, and cry bitterly.
"Damn it, don't think you can kill me like this. I am the immortal Idu, and one day I will become one with her again..."
With a resentful howl, Idu slowly closed his eyes and disappeared into Yakumo's Inner world.
"Why, why is there such a monster inside me, Idu?"
During the brief fusion, Yakumo felt an unprecedented power and also felt a deep loathing for his ugly appearance.
"Do you think I'd give you a chance to show up? You idiot."
A cold and indifferent voice appeared, Yakumo looked up to see a Black Cloak and a faint fragrance of grass and trees slowly approaching.
" Kurama Yakumo, right?"
As they drew nearer, a fresh and refined face, as clean and fresh as the air after rain, came closer, and the voice was gentle and calm.
"You... who are you?"
"If you are willing to trust me and entrust everything to me, I will help you suppress Idu's resurgence and become a ninja."
Harmed by his parents' words and believing he could never become a ninja, Kurama Yakumo suddenly felt a glimmer of hope.
Even the dark and gloomy world of Genjutsu was somewhat dispelled by this glimmer of hope.
"Really? You can really help me become a ninja?"
In the real world, if Kurama Yakumo saw a face that looked no older than himself, he would most likely think the person was a fraudster.
However, after witnessing it with her own eyes, she realized that the beings in front of her were definitely a very powerful Genjutsu ninja.
"In return, I need the full support of the Kurama Clan, as well as everything you have. If you can do that, I will help you become an excellent ninja."
"Words are not enough; let's prove it with actions."
As soon as he finished speaking, the surrounding chaos and darkness, which resembled countless piles of discarded paint, were washed away by the seawater from the edge of nothingness.
The sky is azure, the sea is crystal clear, and the vibrant green forest is bathed in the sunlight rising from the distance, illuminating the hollow, dark depths of this heart.
Waves crashed on the beach, and all sorts of beautiful scenes that Kurama Yakumo had never witnessed before came into view.
"How beautiful! Is this... the outside world?"
"The real world is far more beautiful and far more cruel than this. Would you like to see it for yourself with your own eyes?"
Looking at the large, strong, and fair hand reaching out to her, a faint blush rose on Yakumo's face, and she nodded gently.
"Please, teacher, I want to see the outside world with my own eyes."
Huayue's expression was strange, and she couldn't help but chuckle softly twice.
"Teacher, you call me teacher? Fine, your talent certainly makes you worthy of being my disciple, but unfortunately I lack the ability to teach you Genjutsu..."
"However, I want to warn you beforehand: don't think about relying on others for salvation while locking yourself away in a corner of your heart."
"Sometimes it will indeed rain down from the sky, but if the land is not cultivated, the crops that grow in the end are nothing but weeds."
The sound faded into the distance, and an unprecedented light pierced the world, turning everything before our eyes into nothingness.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly. When Yakumo opened her eyes again, she found herself lying in her own bedroom, everything both familiar and strange.
"That's great, you're awake, Yakumo. It's all my fault. No matter what you do, I'll support you wholeheartedly. Don't push yourself too hard..."
Yakumo looked at her parents' faces and saw that they were safe and sound, and her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.
"Don't worry, Dad, Mom, I met a really amazing teacher in my dream. He'll definitely have a way to make me a ninja!"
Her smile was radiant, but the girl's pale face seemed to hold some other hidden meaning.
Kurama Murakumo and his wife exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of unease in each other's eyes.
The Kurama Clan, the home of the old clan chief.
"I never expected that you would personally intervene in the matter of that child Yakumo. The Kurama Clan is deeply ashamed."
The old patriarch bowed slightly, his expression more of helplessness and apprehension than of trouble.
"You're too kind. Compared to my question, the child and the Kekkei Genkai of the Kurama Clan are the main reasons I came here today."
Seeing that Huayue had gone straight to the point, the old clan chief was even more distressed. The person in front of him was the strongest member of the Uchiha Clan, the most prestigious ninja clan in Konoha.
Although they had some conflicts with the village's higher-ups, the size and strength of the Uchiha were far beyond what the declining Kurama Clan could compare to.
"I'm sorry, that child has now been entrusted to Miss Hong, who is by your side, for upbringing. As for Yakumo, we still need to consult the child and her teacher."
That's what they say, but in reality, the old clan chief of Kurama really didn't want to get involved in the power struggles at the top.
It's quite remarkable that the Kurama Clan has survived to this day. If even the last few remaining members of the clan were to infiltrate the village's factional struggles, then...
"That's exactly what Kurenai thought. Yakumo's Genjutsu is related to some forbidden technique of my Uchiha Clan, which is why she asked me to come and heal her weak body."
In that instant, the old patriarch was visibly agitated, and his withered old hands trembled slightly.
"That child, is there really a way to cure that child's illness?"
" The Kekkei Genkai of the Kurama Clan involves Yin-Yang Release. As long as we start with the Yang Release, we can control Yakumo's body from becoming weak again."
After saying this, he placed a bottle of azure solvent in front of the old patriarch of the Kurama.
"Simply inject this modified, specially made Silent Blood Armor into Yakumo's body, and the life energy within will gradually improve her physique, leaving her without any defects."
A single sentence left the old chieftain of the Kurama stunned. The wish that had troubled the Kurama Clan for many years, the hope for the Kurama Clan's revival, was so easily resolved by the person before him.
" The Ninja Academy will start in a few days. I hope to see Yakumo in my class. Goodbye."
He is polite, gentle, and gives people a strong sense of security.
For some reason, a hint of fear flickered in the heart of the old clan chief of Kurama.
