Chapter 678: Chapter – 671 Short Trip to Hot Spring
As Kuroto entered the Konoha Hospital, he saw the increased rush inside.
Because of the sudden influx of nearly a thousand injured shinobi, and around five hundred dead bodies being prepared for the burial, the Konoha Hospital is in chaos at this moment.
Looking at the saddened villagers crying over the loss of their loved ones, Kuroto felt guilty.
When he and Orochimaru designed the Kekkei Genkai Absorption Ritual and Chakra Transmission Array for Danzo, neither he nor Orochimaru planned to sacrifice the lives of those fifteen hundred Konoha Shinobis.
Both he and Orochimaru expected that the Chakra support provided by fifteen hundred Konoha Shinobi should be more than enough, as such, there wouldn't be any problem of lack of chakra, so obviously, their lives wouldn't be in danger.
However, both he and Orochimaru were proven wrong during the ritual.
Especially Kuroto, he never expected that the requirements of Chakra would be so high, that Danzo would become crazy and turn the Chakra Transmission Array beyond the maximum limit, endangering the lives of the shinobis standing on the array.
The thing is, even if it was Danzo who sucked the chakra of all those deceased Konoha Shinobis, Kuroto and Orochimaru have equal unshirkable responsibility for their deaths for they are the ones who designed the damned thing!
Given Orochimaru's character, he won't be least affected by the deaths of these people, however, Kuroto feels guilty.
But at the same time, he is more determined… because he knows…
Weak people are always at the mercy of the strong, they have to dance at the whims of strong people. As such, in the plans of strong ones, the weak ones are crushed, trampled upon, and sacrificed without any regard… Kuroto has also personally experienced such a life after graduating from the academy and in his early teens, therefore, he never wants to go back to those days.
Moreover, Kuroto can't allow the sacrifice of these five hundred dead shinobi to go to waste. He has to give their deaths at least some meaning.
This is why Kuroto has decided to work on Project Godhood with all his heart and see it to the end.
With such determination, he continued to walk through the corridors of the Konoha Hospital and came to the room that is assigned to Yui.
Of course, Yui was not sitting in her cabin, she was obviously too busy to be resting here because of the sudden influx of Konoha Shinobi, and Kuroto chose not to disturb her, instead, he patiently waited for her to come here.
And Kuroto had to wait for a damn long time for her to return.
Yui came to her cabin at 3 o'clock in the morning.
As she entered her cabin to change her clothes and catch a quick sleep, she was surprised to find Kuroto sitting on a chair by the window and reading something. After noticing him, she questioned, "Kuroto-kun… when did you come here?"
Kuroto answered with a smile, "Just a while ago…"
Yui sighed, "You have been waiting here since evening, right? You know you could have directly come to find me instead of waiting here…"
Kuroto smiled and didn't answer… Some things aren't required to be said because they are better left unsaid.
Seeing Kuroto's smile, Yui shook her head helplessly, and said, "Alright." then she closed the door and asked, "Is there something you needed?"
Kuroto nodded, "Sort of… I needed a favor."
Yui muttered, "I see… I'll definitely help you… but" here she paused and said, "If it's nothing of emergency, would it be fine if I listen after a bath? I am extremely tired right now, and want to take a hot bath right this moment… so–" but she suddenly stopped, thought of something, and excitedly said, "Or wait, why don't you join me…? You can tell me all the details while we soak in the hot water…"
Seeing Yui's tired expression, at the same time, her beaming smile, Kuroto couldn't help but nod… "Now that I think about it, it's been quite a while since we have spent some quality time together, alright, let's do that…"
Yui bobbed her head, "Yes… it's been quite a while."
With that Kuroto folded back the scroll he was reading and said to Yui, "Sort out your things, and then we can leave when you are ready… Using this occasion, I will take you to a place I found not too long ago… That place has some good hot springs, you will be able to relax there…"
Yui frowned, "But Kuroto-kun, we can't go too far, the number of patients at the hospital is a lot at this time… And if I were to disappear for a long time, then it will be a problem… Tsunade-sama will also scold me…"
Kuroto reassured Yui, "I know… don't worry about it… we aren't going too far… I mean we are, but we can return instantly…"
Yui asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
Kuroto smiled and said, "Wouldn't it be better to directly experience it."
Although not sure how, out of trust in Kuroto, she nodded, "Alright… if you say so."
With that Yui went to sort out her things, as well as bring along a set of clothes that she would wear after the bath meanwhile Kuroto started the preparations from his end.
After 10 minutes, the two of them were prepared and ready to disappear.
Kuroto took out a giant scroll and put it on the floor…
Seeing the scroll, Yui narrowed her eyes, "Isn't this a Scroll for signing contracts with the summoning creatures?"
Kuroto nodded, "Yes, and you are going to sign your name in it too…"
She nodded obediently, "Okay…" albeit in confusion.
With that, Yui bit her finger, then used the blood to sign her name on it, then further marked it with her fingerprints.
And the contract was formally established, "It's done." Muttered Kuroto, and added, "Now we are all set to go."
At this time, Yui asked, "Kuroto-kun, are we going to use reverse summoning to go to that place?"
"Indeed…" nodded Kuroto, then explained, "The place we are going to is located near the seas of the Land of Lightning… it's a volcanic island that I discovered during one of my Anbu missions… After I discovered it, I made some changes to it, so at this point, the only way to go there, and come out is by the means of Reverse Summoning Jutsu and that is only possible if someone has signed the contract, I designed…"
Yui blinked her eyes and looked at Kuroto in amazement…
Kuroto smiled seeing Yui's shocked expression, "Don't worry about it… it wasn't a big deal." And after reassuring her, he said to her, "Now, that you have signed the summoning contract, let's use the Reverse Summoning Jutsu to go there."
Yui nodded, "Okay."
The two then held one of their hands together and using their other hand, the two weaved the hand signs of the reverse summoning Jutsu, and… Poof…
And off they disappeared from the Konoha Hospital.

Chapter 679: Chapter – 672 Some Quality Time
"Haah…" Yui exhaled a relieved sigh, and said, "It feels so relaxing… I can't even remember the last time I soaked in a hot spring…"
Hearing Yui's words, Kuroto scratched his cheeks awkwardly… He kind of feels guilty for never taking her anywhere, not even to any hot spring.
Whether because of missions or because of his personal affairs, he has been traveling all over the Shinobi World, but unlike him, Yui always stays in Konoha, serving the Hyuga Clan and taking care of his home… Never venturing outside. Although she has never complained about it, now that Kuroto thinks about it, he feels that he should treat her better.
As Kuroto was thinking about these things, Yui swam to his side, slowly hugged him, and then sat upon him.
Kuroto supported her waist with one of his hands, while using his other hand he gently brushed her back, and questioned, "You, okay?"
Yui nuzzled in Kuroto's embrace and answered, "Mm-hmm… just want to stay like this for a while…"
Kuroto nodded slightly and continued to soothe her with gentle caresses.
After a while, Yui moved her head and gazed into Kuroto's eyes as she questioned, "Say Kuroto-kun… what other secrets are you hiding from me?"
Kuroto asked in return, "What brought this on?"
Yui held Kuroto's face with both his hands and said while looking down, "Sometimes… Sometimes I feel that despite knowing you from my childhood, despite having spent the past 20 years of my life with you… I know nothing about you…"
Kuroto smiled slightly, he held her chin with his hand raised her face to look into his eyes, and questioned, "Does it bother you?"
Yui shook her head… "No… it doesn't… Because… I know that you will tell me everything when you feel that the time is right… it's just that… sometimes I see loneliness and complexity in your eyes… and I don't know how to help you get over it…"
"Yeah… One day, I'll tell you everything… everything I have hidden from you as of yet… but until then, I want you to be patient and have trust in me… As for your worry about me feeling lonely… Just having you by my side is more than enough… you don't have to do anything more…" said Kuroto as he patted her head.
Yui nodded, "Always." then buried her head in Kuroto's embrace.
Kuroto nodded, "Always."
After a while of silence, Kuroto suddenly thought of something, "By the way Yui…" then squeezed his hand 'Sqeeze', and pointed out, you seem to have develop–"
Slap…
…
With a clear red mark of a slap on his face, Kuroto was sitting opposite Yui as the two had dinner.
*Giggle~* Seeing Kuroto's face, Yui giggled, "I'm sorry… it's just that you look so funny with that swollen cheek… Does it still hurt?"
Kuroto shook his head with a sigh, "No" but as he tried to touch his swollen cheek he let out an involuntarily cry, "Ouch…"
Yui tried her best to control her laugh, "It seems that it does hurt even now… Come here… I'll heal your face…"
Normally, the swelling wouldn't have been so bad… but Yui subconsciously wrapped Chakra over her hand, when she struck him, that's why the swelling is so bad.
Kuroto nodded and let her do her thing…
Soon, the gentle warmth of medical chakra appeared over his cheek and the swelling started to heal.
While Yui was healing him, Kuroto questioned, "What is the status of casualties caused by the recent incident?"
Yui replied in an emotional tone, "A lot of senior shinobis died while being tied down to that Array… Even among the shinobi who have survived, there are many who can no longer work as a Shinobi… Their Chakra Pathways are severely damaged… So, they are no longer suitable for carrying out missions…"
Kuroto muttered, "Is that so…?" not so surprised.
Yui nodded, "Yes…" then added with a bitter smile, "You know Kuroto-kun… isn't it an irony that Shinobi who wouldn't have hesitated to sacrifice their lives for the sake of the village were killed by the village and died at the hands of their 'Hokage'…"
Kuroto was silent… Yui was silent… only the pulsating sound of the healing chakra resounded…
After a while, Yui added, "What happened to them is unacceptable…!"
Kuroto muttered, "I know!"
Because the number of people involved in this incident was over a thousand, as such, their mouths can't be kept shut. Therefore, within just half a day, the news of Danzo's ritual and what he 'did' to the fifteen hundred shinobi also became public.
The Konoha Hospital where all the comatose and injured are being kept at this moment became the distribution hub of the news, therefore, even Yui, who didn't particularly try to inquire for information is also aware of the ins and outs of the incident.
Because she has personally seen the pain of the people who lost their loved ones, and the pain of the people who were injured or can no longer be Shinobi, as such, she is greatly angered at Danzo for doing such a thing.
Kuroto patted her head, and questioned, "I heard that Kakashi was the one to discover the site of the ritual… is that true?"
Yui nodded lightly, "Based on what people are telling, Kakashi-san teleported near the array and fought against Danzo's men in an attempt to save them… Initially, he was struggling, but something happened which made Danzo's men run away… With those people gone, Kakashi-san used his Flying Raijin Jutsu and rescued all those people who were still alive… You know, he didn't leave even a single person who was alive out there to die…!"
Kuroto has already heard all these details about Kakashi at the meeting.
After this achievement, Kakashi is now being compared to Konoha's Yellow Flash… This is basically a transformation… A transformation from an elite Jonin class to a full-fledged Kage class shinobi.
Ultimately, losing the Mangekyou Sharingan that Obito gave him proved to be a boon for him…
It won't be wrong to say that, "Kakashi is also growing up…"
Just as Kuroto was thinking of Kakashi's achievement, Yui removed her hand from Kuroto's cheek, and said, "There… it's all healed up! Now no one will laugh at you…"
Kuroto nodded, "Thanks."
Yui smiled sweetly and squeezed his nose, "No problem…" then she thought of something, and asked, "Kuroto-kun… wasn't there something you needed my help with?"
Kuroto nodded, "Yeah… I almost forgot about it…" He turned the topic and spoke, "Yui… I need the Yin-seal."
Yui was taken aback, "The Yin-seal!? But Kuroto-kun… the Yin-seal is…"
Kuroto nodded, "I know all those details… But I still need it!"
Yui thought for a while, and said, "Um… I can try and ask Tsunade-sama… But I can't guarantee."
Kuroto agreed, "Yeah… try asking her… if she gives it to you, then very well… otherwise, I will try to take it from the Scroll of Seals."
Yui nodded, "Alright, I'll see what I can do."
