บท 91: Chapter 91: That Person is Still Alive

Thanks to his successful advancement of the Flying Thunder God Technique, Kyosuke managed to escape the encirclement unscathed.
By the time he returned to the inn in the small town, his chakra reserves were nearly depleted.
Ignoring the worried gaze of the girl with the bun hairstyle, he collapsed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
Seeing this, Mito was startled. After carefully checking his condition, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the boy covered in blood and grime, still wearing his shoes, she puffed up her cheeks in anger but reluctantly began removing his shoes and socks.
"Always fighting and killing—why does he have to push himself so hard?"
After wringing out a clean towel, Princess Mito imitated the maids' usual methods and began to carefully clean Kyosuke's body.
After an exhausting effort, she finally managed to wipe him clean.
She intended to go out to rest, but considering that Kyosuke was still unconscious, she decided to sit by his side, fighting off sleep to keep watch.
Half-asleep, Mito felt someone lifting her.
Her subconscious tried to wake her up, but the familiar scent that drifted into her nose made her smack her lips and fall back into a deep sleep.
"This girl..."
Gently placing her on the bed and carefully tucking her in, Kyosuke walked to the window and gazed at the moonlight outside, lost in thought.
By his estimation, he had been asleep for about six hours. During this period, there had been no sign of any investigation from the Moon Clan.
Perhaps they didn't want to, or maybe they couldn't. Either way, it seemed that Otsutsuki Sugito hadn't managed to fully control the Land of Rain.
"That makes sense. Someone hell-bent on destroying the Shinobi World isn't likely to treat the people of the Land of Rain kindly."
Reflecting deeply, Kyosuke roughly pieced together Otsutsuki Takuya's plan.
He had to admit, the combination of remote-controlled human puppets was indeed a viable way to completely block his Flying Thunder God escape routes.
But unfortunately for them, no matter how meticulously they planned, they didn't anticipate that Kyosuke's Flying Thunder God would evolve ahead of time.
The ability to track moving coordinates meant it was now much harder to predict his landing points.
With his extraordinary kunai-throwing skills, making the kunai curve mid-air was no problem at all.
"With the second-stage Flying Thunder God, my actual combat power is already approaching the clan leader level."
"Unfortunately, age still limits my physical growth."
Looking at the still-sleeping little Kyosuke, he sighed deeply, knowing the road ahead would still be long.
The longer, the better.
After enjoying the moonlight for a while, he returned to the bed and shifted the little bean sprout clutching the blanket further inside.
Then he lay down beside her, continuing to recover his strength through sleep.
---
The night passed without incident.
"Ahhh!!!"
A terrifying scream jolted Kyosuke awake from his sleep.
"An enemy attack?!"
Instantly unsealing his curse mark, he was surrounded by crackling lightning in less than a second, ready for battle.
Looking around, however, he realized there was no abnormality in the room except for a furious bun-haired girl standing there, arms crossed.
Glancing at his sleeping spot, Kyosuke had a vague idea of what had happened.
Before the little girl could explode, he quickly took the initiative, pointing at her and scolding loudly. "Can't you stay calm in a situation like this? We're in enemy territory. What if your scream attracted an enemy we couldn't handle?"
"Uh..." Mito initially wanted to question him but quickly realized she might have overreacted.
After all, when they were out in the wild, they often rested while leaning on each other.
This was just a change of location to a bed—it wasn't worth making such a fuss.
Feeling slightly wronged, she pursed her lips and replied sulkily, "Okay, I get it."
Ruffling her messy hair, she left the room with her head down, intending to fetch some water to wash up.
Seeing this, Kyosuke let out a small breath of relief. "What a gullible little girl. Scare her a bit, and she forgets everything."
If she'd been given a chance to blow up, he wouldn't have had peace for a long time.
"Sometimes, the less you're in the right, the louder you need to be." he mumbled.
Of course, he justified this strategy for himself but wouldn't tolerate anyone doing the same to him—unless they wanted to face his blade.
His philosophy of roaming the ninja world was simple: Conquer with morality. And everyone knew that about him.

After tidying the room and disguising himself with the Transformation Jutsu, Kyosuke left to have a hearty meal before continuing his hunting journey with Mito.
Following the battle the day before, he noticed the Moon's clan had strengthened their human puppet patrols.
Every time he entered their danger zones, enemies equipped with Byakugan would issue an early warning, summoning reinforcements to support them.
Although this significantly reduced his efficiency, the Flying Thunder God technique remained powerful enough to let him escape before the enemy could encircle him.
Slower progress in earning points was frustrating, but Kyosuke wasn't in a rush. Each day, he teased Mito, killed some enemies, and lived quite comfortably.
In the blink of an eye, two months had passed since he arrived in the Land of Rain.
He was on the verge of accumulating enough points to achieve a crucial power boost: Mangekyō Sharingan.
The Mangekyo Sharingan—an evolution of the Uchiha clan's bloodline limit and perhaps its ultimate form.
To awaken Mangekyo, one must endure profound emotional trauma, such as witnessing the death of a loved one, which would produce the special chakra needed for the evolution.
The Mangekyō would enhance the Original Sharingan's abilities but also grants two unique powers based on the user's traits.
Abilities like Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, Kamui, and others were diverse and each exceptionally powerful.
Kyosuke couldn't help but wonder what abilities he might awaken.
Of course, such tremendous power came at a cost.
The more one uses the Mangekyo, the faster its user approaches blindness.
Only by transplanting another Mangekyo from a close relative or fusing it with high-level Senju cells (Hashirama cells) could one avoid losing vision.
As for the regular Mangekyo, Kyosuke planned to exchange points for it. After all, he wasn't about to kill someone he cared for.
For the Eternal Mangekyo, he had just the right relative in mind—his gullible older cousin, Uchiha Kaijun.
Tajima thought he'd gained an ally, but little did he know Kyosuke was eager to offer him a generous gift—one that would ensure Tajima put all his resources into grooming Uchiha Kaijun.
"My dear clan leader, I'll be counting on you for my future eyes."
With just a step remaining to reach the 100,000-point threshold, Kyosuke decided to take a bold risk against his enemies.
The bastard who had set up the ambush for him had lived long enough—it was time to turn him into a string of numbers on Kyosuke's system panel.
"Sigh, I'm just too kind."
"Even though I could've dealt with you earlier, I let you live for two more months."
"You're always too softhearted, too softhearted~"
---
Meanwhile, word of Kyosuke's survival had silently spread throughout the Shinobi world.
While some were overjoyed, others were deeply troubled.
Among them was Uchiha Kaijun, who had recently been promoted to deputy corps commander but hadn't had a good night's rest in days.
