I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapter 81 & 082 Special Jonin

"You're about to die, do you have any last wishes?"

"A voice... Uchiha?"

Tsukimi blinked Inaba's empty, unfocused left eye and murmured weakly.

"it's me."

Naruto Uchiha sat down next to Tsukimi Inaba, lowered his head to look directly into Tsukimi's left eye, and spoke softly in a gentle, deep voice.

For someone who is about to die, there is no need to conceal their identity, so Naruto Uchiha did not use the transformation technique, but appeared in his original appearance.

Naruto Uchiha's sudden appearance here was not only to steal the heads of the two demons and collect the magatama, but also because he saw Inaba lying on the ground covered in wounds. She was so young, only fourteen years old, and her life was about to come to an end. He felt a little sad and came to see her off.

In the final moments of life, it's better to have someone by your side than to embark on the journey alone.

"Would you like me to send you a sweet dream? Is there anyone you want to see? Like your parents, for example?"

While at the residence, Uchiha Senmon pulled Uchiha Naruto into the study and briefly introduced Tsukimi Inaba's background. Tsukimi Inaba's parents were both colleagues of Uchiha Senmon, who died in the line of duty three years ago, leaving behind only their daughter as an orphan.

His two originally dark and deep eyes had turned into scarlet demonic eyes.

Unlike before, when only the left eye had three tomoe, both eyes now have three black tomoe rotating around the pupil.

This is a genuine three-tomoe Sharingan!

The three-tomoe Sharingan is a hypnotic eye that earned it a reputation in the ninja world for its ability to "escape in one-on-one combat".

Previously, the three-tomoe Sharingan in his left eye exploited a loophole in the system, making it merely a facade and only allowing him to use some simple genjutsu. However, after truly leveling up his Sharingan skills to LV3, he was able to weave dreamlike and realistic illusions.

Unfortunately, Naruto Uchiha couldn't save Inaba Tsukimi.

However, at the moment of death, she can pass away peacefully and happily in a beautiful dream.

Genjutsu using the Sharingan with three tomoe.

But Tsukimi Inaba seemed not to hear, and her voice grew softer and softer:

"Bag...shoulder bag..."

Naruto Uchiha frowned. He had also casually taken the shoulder bag that Inaba had previously carried, but he hadn't opened it, since it was a girl's personal item.

Unzipping the backpack, Uchiha Naruto glanced inside and saw it was full of small medicine bottles.

Apart from some hemostatic drugs and sleeping pills, most of them are analgesics, the kind of potent analgesics prescribed to terminally ill cancer patients.

Naruto Uchiha felt a pang of sadness, sighed softly, and spoke even more gently:

"These medications are useless. If you're in pain, I have a better way."

For the external injuries of Tsukimi-sato Inaba, these hemostatic drugs had little effect; although the injuries looked serious, they were not fatal.

What truly rendered her beyond medical help was the evil chakra of the cursed seal, which was irreversibly eroding Inaba's body, and even the blood-replenishing pills she obtained from the system shop couldn't save her.

Naruto Uchiha's Sharingan could clearly see that the cold and vicious chakra had already corroded her internal organs, limbs, and bones. Once the remaining right side of her head was also covered, the life candle of Tsukimi Inaba would be completely extinguished.

Inuhata Tsukimi is, in essence, just an ordinary girl who doesn't possess chakra. This evil chakra exists by consuming her life force.

Every time she uses the power of the cursed seal, she is burning her own life. After forcibly entering the state of the second cursed seal, this evil chakra breaks free of its shackles and goes completely berserk, eroding her entire body like cancer cells.

To be honest, Naruto Uchiha also found it somewhat unbelievable. Such evil chakra, once injected into the human body, should have killed even a healthy adult on the spot. It was incredible that a petite girl like Inaba Tsukimi could withstand it.

"You were able to withstand the erosion of the first cursed seal state and even opened the second cursed seal. As an ordinary girl, you have done a great job."

Naruto Uchiha was powerless to help, but there was one more thing he could do: use the Sharingan's genjutsu to conceal the pain in Inaba's body and allow her to see her parents again in her final moments.

"……letter……"

Naruto Uchiha pulled out a letter from a hidden compartment in his shoulder bag. The cover was covered with the words "Suicide Note" written in a girl's neat and elegant handwriting.

"I saw it, I saw it," Uchiha Naruto whispered in Tsukimi Inaba's right ear.

Tsukimi's pale, translucent face curved into a slight smile, then her left eyelid twitched slightly, as if she were about to close her eyes and fall asleep.

Naruto Uchiha's three black tomoe swirled rapidly around his pupils as he stared at Tsukimi's left eye, preparing to present the beautiful dream woven from genjutsu as a final gift to Tsukimi Inaba.

A moment later, Naruto Uchiha frowned and his pupils contracted.

"Why is my Sharingan genjutsu not working?"

The cursed seal's erosion had already spread to Inaba's right cheek. Naruto Uchiha placed his palm on the girl's right cheek, and a halo of chakra emanated from his hand.

However, Naruto Uchiha did not know Sage Mode, and the chakra injected from the outside was not even a temporary cure; it could only slightly resist the erosion of the cursed seal and buy some time.

Inaba rubbed her little head against Naruto's palm like a cat, barely opening her left eye: "Uchiha?"

Tsukimi Inaba's right cheek was icy cold; it was unclear whether her body temperature was naturally low or if death had begun to steal her warmth.

"Tsukimi-san, your eyes?"

"Ah... I lost sight in my left eye two years ago, and my right eye was taken away... I can't see other people's faces..."

Inaba pressed her face against Naruto's hand, as if drawing warmth from his palm. Her voice was so soft it was almost inaudible. Her consciousness cleared slightly, but it was only a final, fleeting moment of clarity.

"I've written everything in the letter. I'm going to sleep now."

"Thank you, Uchiha, for being there for me in the end."

Even the final care he needed was denied? Uchiha Naruto felt a lump in his throat and was speechless for a moment.

And the final farewell from the tragic female protagonist was just too heartbreaking. Whether in the movie or the novel, Naruto Uchiha hates bad endings the most.

Even years from now, when he thinks about today, about Inaba Tsukimi, Naruto Uchiha will still feel regret for not being able to save her and for not being able to comfort her at the last moment.

Is there any other way?

Naruto Uchiha opened the system shop and quickly browsed the items inside, racking his brains to think of a way to save her.

The problem with Inaba in Tsukimi is that her body cannot resist the corruption of the cursed seal. If there were a sealing technique, like the Evil Sealing Technique that Kakashi used on Sasuke, there might still be a chance to save her...

That's not enough. Sasuke himself is an excellent ninja who can resist the corruption of the cursed seal with his own chakra.

To save Tsukimi Inaba, she must have her own chakra and a sealing technique; neither is dispensable.

But where could they find the sealing technique in such a short time?

Furthermore, Naruto Uchiha didn't know how to give others chakra as well.

Just then, a system notification sounded in Uchiha Naruto's mind.
