Chapter 122 - Chapter 122: The Kekkei Genkai Sickness, Yakumo Kurama

Hearing Shinku Yūhi's words, Mirai Uchiha raised an eyebrow: "I know of it."

"It is said that their Kekkei Genkai can manipulate a person's five senses, and that damage received in a genjutsu also manifests in reality."

After hearing Mirai Uchiha's response, Shinku Yūhi nodded: "That's right, it seems you are quite well-informed."

Yashiro Uchiha scratched his head, somewhat perplexed: "It sounds very powerful, why have I never seen such a Kekkei Genkai?"

Seeing Yashiro Uchiha's confusion, Shinku Yūhi explained: "In the early days of Konoha's founding, the Kurama clan was a renowned ninja clan, comparable to the Uchiha clan."

"During the first two Great Ninja Wars, they provided Konoha with many powerful ninjas."

"However, the Kurama clan's Kekkei Genkai is extremely difficult to awaken, so the clan gradually declined."

"To this day, the former prestige of the Kurama clan has completely disappeared."

Hearing this, Yashiro Uchiha nodded silently.

Since the founding of Konoha, too many ninja clans had disappeared into the river of history.

Even a clan as powerful as the Senju now only had Princess Tsunade.

Thinking of this, Yashiro Uchiha discreetly glanced at Mirai Uchiha.

If it weren't for Lord Mirai, who changed the course of events… the Uchiha clan surely could not have recovered its former glory as it had now, right?

Mirai Uchiha thought for a moment and asked: "Master Shinku, did you seek me out for a matter related to the Kurama clan?"

Shinku Yūhi nodded: "The head of the Kurama clan, Murakumo Kurama, and I are close friends. We often research genjutsu together."

"He recently told me that his daughter's health is getting weaker and weaker, now she even gets out of breath if she walks too much…"

"That's why I wanted to ask you, to see if there is any way to help his daughter."

Through Shinku Yūhi's description, Mirai Uchiha also remembered.

In the original story, Yakumo Kurama was the genius of the Kurama clan, the only one who had awakened the Kekkei Genkai, and the clan had placed great hopes in her.

But, unfortunately, powerful Kekkei Genkai often draw nutrients from the body; the more of a genius a ninja with a Kekkei Genkai is, the more prone they are to illness.

The deeper the development of their own Kekkei Genkai, the more severe the illness becomes.

People like Kimimaro and Itachi Uchiha suffered greatly because of the Kekkei Genkai sickness.

The fact that Yakumo Kurama's body was getting weaker and weaker was probably due to the Kekkei Genkai sickness.

"Mirai?"

Hearing Shinku Yūhi's voice, Mirai Uchiha came back to his senses and smiled: "Master Shinku, you've come to the right person."

"Come on, take me to see her."

Seeing Mirai Uchiha's confident expression, Shinku Yūhi's face lit up with a pleasant surprise.

Originally, he had only come to ask with a "try my luck" mentality, but he didn't expect Mirai Uchiha to actually have a solution.

"That's fantastic." Shinku Yūhi stood up immediately. "In that case, let's set off right now."

————

Kurama Clan.

Satomi Hill Villa.

Murakumo Kurama saw Shinku Yūhi and Mirai Uchiha arrive, an expression of immense expectation on his face.

"Chief Murakumo, it's a pleasure to meet you for the first time."

Not expecting Mirai Uchiha's attitude to be so friendly, the smile on Murakumo Kurama's face became even brighter: "Captain Mirai, hello."

With that said, he turned and brought out Yakumo Kurama, who was hiding behind him: "Yakumo, greet Mr. Shinku and Captain Mirai."

Yakumo Kurama lowered her head and said shyly: "Hello, Mr. Shinku. Hello, Captain Mirai."

Shinku Yūhi laughed a couple of times: "No need for formalities, we are all friends."

"Mirai, first examine Yakumo's body."

At that moment, he felt an inexplicable sense of pride in his heart; he felt that having a disciple like Mirai step up was even more prestigious than if he had intervened himself.

Mirai Uchiha, for his part, nodded with a slight smile: "Yakumo, right? Come closer, I'm going to examine your body."

Seeing Yakumo Kurama approach, Mirai Uchiha couldn't help but praise her silently.

As the princess of the Kurama clan, Yakumo Kurama possessed a fragile and adorable air. Not only did she have beautiful facial features, but her skin was also incredibly white.

Although she was still young, it could already be confirmed that she would be a beauty.

Mirai Uchiha took Yakumo Kurama's wrist and began to examine it carefully.

But aside from her body temperature being a little low, there was nothing abnormal.

Mirai Uchiha spoke in a grave voice: "Chief Murakumo, it is possible that Yakumo is suffering from the Kekkei Genkai sickness."

Hearing Mirai Uchiha's words, Murakumo Kurama and the others looked perplexed: "Kekkei Genkai sickness?"

Mirai Uchiha was not surprised by everyone's confusion.

Very few people knew of the existence of the Kekkei Genkai sickness, and no one had conducted systematic research on it.

In the original story, Orochimaru did not begin to investigate the Kekkei Genkai sickness until after Kimimaro fell ill.

So Mirai Uchiha began to explain: "Due to excessive talent, the power of the Kekkei Genkai develops excessively at too young an age, causing irreparable damage to the body. That is the Kekkei Genkai sickness."

"And as the development of that power deepens, the Kekkei Genkai sickness becomes more and more severe, until death!"

After hearing Mirai Uchiha's explanation, Yakumo Kurama, Kurenai Yūhi, and the others opened their mouths, stunned.

It was the first time they had heard of the Kekkei Genkai sickness.

Excessive development of the Kekkei Genkai?

That could also cause an illness?!

Murakumo Kurama asked nervously: "Captain Mirai, you just said that the Kekkei Genkai sickness causes irreparable damage to the body and that it worsens with the development of the Kekkei Genkai…"

"Is there any way to solve this problem?"

Hearing this, Mirai Uchiha said indifferently: "In general, it is enough to stop using the Kekkei Genkai."

"To renounce being a ninja and never use the Kekkei Genkai again. Naturally, the Kekkei Genkai sickness will not worsen."

Hearing Mirai Uchiha's words, the expression on Murakumo Kurama's face was one of deep resignation.

The Kurama clan had fallen from grace, and with great effort, an excellent heiress like Yakumo had appeared. But now, the Kekkei Genkai they prided themselves on had become their own daughter's death sentence…

Yakumo Kurama's gaze also filled with immense desolation.

She was well aware of the effort and dedication that her parents and the entire clan had invested in her.

Therefore, her greatest dream was to become an outstanding ninja and, with her effort, restore the Kurama clan to its former glory.

But now she was being told that she could never become a ninja…

Why did reality have to be so cruel?!

Shinku Yūhi also sighed and gave Murakumo Kurama a firm pat on the shoulder: "Murakumo, anyway, the most important thing now is for Yakumo to recover."

Murakumo Kurama smiled bitterly and nodded: "That's right, the fate of the Kurama clan does not have to rest on Yakumo's shoulders. Surely a new heir will appear in the future."

"I will never allow Yakumo to suffer for the restoration of the Kurama clan!"

With that said, Murakumo Kurama looked at Mirai Uchiha: "Captain Mirai, thank you very much for today. Otherwise, Yakumo would probably have been in danger."

"Since the Kekkei Genkai sickness will cost Yakumo her life, we will do as you have said: let Yakumo renounce being a ninja."

Seeing everyone's dejected expressions, Mirai Uchiha frowned: "I have only explained the principle of the Kekkei Genkai sickness, but I never said that Yakumo must renounce being a ninja."

"If I had not come and Yakumo's illness had no cure, that would be one thing. But for me to be here and her illness still to have no cure, then I would have come in vain!"
