I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapter 82-083 Awakening Pill

[Master and apprentice assisting each other in battle]!?

The information transmitted by the system was memorized by Uchiha Naruto in an instant.

The newly added mentor-apprentice assistance feature allows you to bestow ninjutsu upon others!

As the "master," Uchiha Naruto bestows ninjutsu upon his "apprentices," and all the apprentices' skill proficiency, experience, and combat gains from training in ninjutsu belong to him, the master.

It's just like an apprentice in the old society, where the master only needs to provide food to exploit the apprentice for all the fruits of their labor. Although they are called master and apprentice, in reality, before the apprentice graduates, the apprentice is equivalent to the master's slave.

Even if they are treated like livestock, beaten and scolded at will, and starved, apprentices should still be grateful, after all, they can learn a skill.

However, Naruto Uchiha's system is even more domineering than this cruel master-disciple relationship. The ninjutsu that Naruto Uchiha bestows upon others can be stripped of their chakra along with the ninjutsu and taken back to himself with just a change of mind.

I bitterly resent spending my years embroidering gold thread, only to end up making wedding gowns for others.

It's more like a loan or a loan than a bestowal, and it's an even more outrageous form of usury than the "Nine Out, Thirteen Back" usury!

Not only that, the apprentice was also like a hunting dog for his master, Uchiha Naruto, and a cormorant for his fishing. The apprentice killed demons and monsters, but he himself got nothing; all the dropped ninja orbs and ninjutsu belonged to Uchiha Naruto.

The master-disciple alliance in battle, no matter how you look at it, is nothing short of a slave contract and an overbearing clause!

Before she could think any further, Tsukimi Inaba was already on the verge of death, about to breathe her last.

[Wind Release LV1]

Naruto Uchiha bestowed the Wind Release technique, which he had just used to steal the kill from the black dog demon, upon Inaba Tsukimi.

A mysterious and extraordinary reaction occurred in Tsukimi Inaba's body; her spiritual energy and physical energy began to merge, and a wisp of chakra was born from her frail body.

The heart, which had stopped beating, began to beat weakly again.

"efficient!"

Naruto Uchiha's eyes lit up, but he quickly frowned again.

Inaba Tsukimi's chakra was far too little and too weak. Under the corrosive influence of the cursed seal, she was utterly defeated. At this rate, she would only live for a few more minutes.

"Uchiha, are you still there?"

Although her life was still like a candle flickering in the wind, and her eyes were completely black and she could see nothing, Tsukimi Inaba, like all those who are dying, slightly raised her left hand, as if trying to grasp something.

One hand grasped her cold left hand, while the other caressed her right cheek.

It's so hot.

The scalding heat soothed her from the point of skin contact all the way to her icy heart, Tsukimi Inaba thought lazily.

Unexpectedly, she passed away in Uchiha's arms. It's just a pity that she couldn't distinguish male faces and still doesn't know what Uchiha's face looks like to this day...

"Come and make a covenant. Your first life will end here, but I will resurrect you. In return, until your next death, everything you have—your soul and your body—will belong to me completely."

"If you accept this contract, then swallow it."

A slightly cold touch came over her lips, and Tsukimi Inaba, with a hint of shyness in her eyes, murmured:

Is this a confession?

"It's a contract!"

Tsukimi nods, struggles to open her pale lips, and puts a small black pill into her mouth.

Then, her breathing stopped.

Like Sleeping Beauty who will never wake up, all vital signs disappeared.

"We need to act quickly, or Tsukimi will really die soon."

Naruto Uchiha gave Inaba Tsukimi a Heart-Awakening Pill that he had redeemed from the system. This was a secret medicine that could force a ninja to awaken to the second state of the Cursed Seal.

The corrosive effect of the cursed seal on the human body is extremely strong. The state of the first cursed seal is already quite dangerous. Entering the second cursed seal, even a true ninja can only last for a few minutes before certain death.

However, in order to control the power of the cursed seal, one must adapt to its corrosive influence, which is a dangerous act of drinking poison to quench thirst.

Naruto Uchiha reacted quickly, biting his finger and pressing it to the ground.

The spirit summoned a wooden barrel bound with shimenawa rope and covered with mysterious black incantations.

Using a princess carry, Tsukimi Inaba was placed into the wooden tub.

"Black Mist Formation!"

Naruto Uchiha formed hand seals, then raised his hands into the air, from which two plumes of black smoke flew out.

The black smoke condensed in the air into a cloud of black mist with a diameter of two to three meters.

"ha!"

Naruto Uchiha flicked his hands downwards, and the black mist suddenly spun downwards like a giant black serpent, pouring into the round wooden barrel bound with shimenawa rope.

The black mist almost solidified, sealing the wooden barrel. Uchiha Naruto took out several talismans and stuck them on the rim of the barrel and the black lid.

Seeing that Tsukimi no Inaba's status on the apprentice list had changed from "near death" to "feigned death," Uchiha Naruto finally felt a little relieved.

"Can this girl pull through? I'm afraid it's not optimistic. Maybe there's a 30% chance, no, maybe only a 10% chance."

Although the sealing technique suppressed the side effects of the Awakening Pill, Naruto Uchiha wasn't entirely confident that Inaba Tsukimi would survive.

The cursed seal had deeply eroded Inaba's bones. The sealing technique used by Naruto Uchiha was only a simplified version of the original Sound Four's Four Black Mist Formation used on Sasuke, and its effectiveness was barely satisfactory.

But this was the only way that Naruto Uchiha could think of in his haste to save Inaba Tsukimi.

Even Naruto Uchiha doesn't know the current state of things inside the barrel.

Like Schrödinger's cat, Tsukimi Inaba is currently in a state of being dead but not really dead.

Whether she emerges from her cocoon like a butterfly rising from the ashes, or dies silently in that coffin, depends mainly on her own will to live.

After that, he was no longer able to intervene.

However, if Tsukimi Inaba survives, it means she has mastered the second cursed seal and gained powerful strength to take revenge.

"Is there only a 10% chance of surviving? I never thought I would do a deal with such a high probability of not getting my investment back."

Naruto Uchiha couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

"I always thought I was a cold-hearted person. The Uchiha clan's naturally evil brat actually has a heart of compassion. Is it because Inaba Tsukimi is younger than me? Or is it because she, like me, doesn't have parents... to accompany her?"

Although it was just a momentary emotional outburst, Naruto Uchiha did not regret it. After calmly analyzing the situation, he did gain something from it.

This time, we finally caught the fox tail of that monster known as the teacher!

Uchiha Naruto had a strong premonition that as long as Tsukimi no Inaba was in his hands, the mysterious King of Tokyo Yokai would come knocking on his door sooner or later.

"So, the final battle? It's coming sooner than I expected."

Naruto Uchiha covered his eyes with his hands, and between his fingers, his three-tomoe Sharingan flashed with an ominous crimson light. He couldn't help but burst into laughter:

"As long as I have these eyes, I'm invincible! Hahahaha!"

Looking at the devastation of Nakano Park after the battle, with trees uprooted and broken, Uchiha Naruto's laughter ceased. He then spoke to the hut that Inaba Iaijutsu had destroyed:

"Fire Release: Head Carving!"

Like cannon fire, sparks burst forth from its mouth, and the fireballs exploded violently on the small house, spreading the flames in all directions and instantly turning it into a sea of ​​fire.

But Naruto Uchiha didn't stop there. He clasped his hands together, puffed out his cheeks, and blew:

"Wind Release: Great Breakthrough!"

A powerful storm erupted from its mouth, and fueled by the wind, the fire instantly ignited the entire forest deep within Nakano Park.

As dawn approached, the sun had already peeked out, but the raging fire, with its flames shooting skyward, was even more dazzling than the sun itself.

This fire was the torch lit before the festival began!

I had a slight fever for the past two days and thought I was in serious trouble, but when I woke up last night I felt much better. ^_^ It seems like it was just a common cold.

It's getting cold, everyone should take care of themselves.
