Kapitel 38: 37
At night, the sound of cicadas could be heard everywhere.
Yukan lay in his bed, talking to the system in his mind.
'System, does mom still have the vitality issue?'
[Yes. Her vitality seems to have declined again]
Yukan listened to the system and then covered his eyes with his hands and rubbed them a few times. He opened his eyes rubbing for a long time.
'I cannot lose mom too. How much pill am I left with?'
[37%]
'Shit.'
Yukan did not understand how to proceed. Back when he had given Myu the pill, it took only 10% to help her live 20 more years, now, Yukan had spent 53% of the pill on Aayu but it was all to no avail. She would regain vitality every time she took the pill, but a few days later, her situation would be the same.
His mother's decreasing vitality was not the only problem, his mother was also targeted by Danzo. It was not exactly his mother, rather, after what happened a year ago, Danzo had started targeting the Uzumaki clan's people. Aayu had Auburn hair, it was not the same as the Uzumaki clan's hair but she was still targeted by him.
Yukan also had to keep on watching over Kushina all the time. Even if she was the nine-tails jinchuriki, she could be targeted by Danzo. Naruto was a jinchuriki but he ended up becoming a target too.
By now, a lot of Uzumaki clan people had entered the village and currently lived while hiding their identities from people. Their cheerful nature helped them get closer to people in a very short time.
'Haizz, system, break 7% of the pill and crush it. I'll put it in her breakfast tomorrow.'
Yukan gave the instructions to the system and then slept.
The next day, during breakfast, Yukan managed to somehow mix the pill in her food. After breakfast, he saw his mother's skin looking a little better. It was not as pale as before.
Yukan left the house with a smile.
He was now walking through the streets with no destination. He walked until noon and in the end, he found nothing interesting to do so he went to the training ground.
There was no one in the training ground due to the hot noon sun. It was the same training ground where he and Minato had fought Sakumo for the first time.
Yukan walked to the centre of the ground and touched the tree there. The training ground was still barren, like a desert and only this tree survived in the area.
"You still stand straight, huh," Yukan said as he patted his hand on the tree's trunk a few times.
Yukan then took out his sword from the system subspace and walked into the sun.
Before anything, he started with push-ups, squats and running.
After that, it was time to practice swordsmanship. Yukan had to continuously hone his skills.
Being covered in sweat completely, Yukan removed his upper. When he removed his upper, he looked at his abdominal muscles and touched them lightly.
"Hehe." Yukan laughed proudly touching them.
He then continued his training until he dropped from exhaustion.
In the evening, he had finished his training and was going back home, Tatsuya once again appeared.
"You have become a messenger now?" Yukan asked Tatsuya.
"I don't know. I think that I have been demoted. Ah, Hokage-Sama is calling you captain." Tatsuya said.
"Is Danzo there again?"
"No, it seems to be something else."
-At the Hokage Office-
Yukan stood in front of Hiruzen and read something written on paper.
"So, this time you want me to patrol the borders?" Yukan asked.
"Yes," Hiruzen replied.
"Why are there 5 more jonin on the team? I can just do this alone." Yukan said and kept the paper on the table.
Hiruzen smiled at Yukan and then gave him another sheet of paper.
"This is why," Hiruzen said.
Yukan read the paper. After reading, he looked at Hiruzen and said," They are traitors and you want me to kill them? Only 5 jonin? Nah, send the ANBU, they are the ones who do this kind of work. I already said previously, don't call me for low-quality missions."
"You are a squad captain in ANBU too, don't be lazy. Also, the rest of ANBU is busy keeping the ROOT and Danzo at bay. Just go on the mission."
"So, I'll be back after killing them."
"No, since you are already out of the village, just patrol the area too."
Yukan sighed. "Then, after I leave, increase security around my mother and Kushina." He said and left the office.
While going home, the system notification sounded.
[Hidden Quest: Kill the 5 traitors along with the others involved
Reward: Crimson Rictus (Sword)]
"My current sword is doing good but, I already need to kill the five traitors. What is the problem with having an extra reward for it? HAHA... Wait, others are involved? They have other people with them?? This is going to be fun now."
