Yakumo Kurama slowly opened her eyes. Looking at the dark, damp cave, her consciousness gradually returned.
"Yakumo, are you awake?"
Mirai Uchiha's voice sounded. Yakumo Kurama sat up with some weakness and asked, "Captain Mirai, the surgery… was it successful?"
Mirai Uchiha smiled: "Don't worry, the surgery was a success."
Hearing this, an expression of relief appeared on Yakumo Kurama's face.
Before the surgery, she had already learned from Orochimaru about the risks of the operation; it was practically a life-or-death situation.
But she didn't expect to have actually survived.
Thinking of this, Yakumo Kurama couldn't help but say with joy: "How lucky, Captain Mirai."
Mirai Uchiha patted Yakumo Kurama's head and, just as he was about to speak, Orochimaru's gloomy voice sounded: "Girl, in this world, there has never been such a thing as luck."
"You should have died on the operating table. It was Mirai-kun who changed your destiny."
Yakumo Kurama did not doubt Orochimaru's words at all.
From what she had come to know of Mirai Uchiha in this time, there seemed to be nothing he couldn't do.
Yakumo Kurama looked at Mirai Uchiha with gratitude: "Captain Mirai, thank you very much."
Mirai Uchiha shook his head, without boasting too much about his achievements, simply saying indifferently: "Yakumo, I'll remove the seal first."
Activating the Hiraishin Technique, Mirai Uchiha took Yakumo Kurama to the Satomi Hill Villa.
After removing the seal, Mirai Uchiha led Yakumo Kurama to the open space outside the villa.
At that moment, Yakumo Kurama had already changed from her house kimono to a combat suit that allowed for easy movement, and she looked full of life.
Murakumo Kurama, Shinku Yūhi, and the others, who had been waiting outside, quickly approached upon seeing them appear.
Shinku Yūhi was the first to speak: "Mirai, did the surgery go well?"
Mirai Uchiha nodded: "The surgery was a success. Yakumo, now show everyone."
Hearing this, Yakumo Kurama, who was already impatient, said immediately: "Yes!"
As soon as she finished speaking, before the astonished gazes of Murakumo Kurama and the others, Yakumo Kurama first performed a series of not-so-fluent punches.
Immediately after, she began to run around the Satomi Hill Villa.
One lap, two laps, three laps…
Hearing Yakumo Kurama's voice, Murakumo Kurama, Shinku Yūhi, and the others opened their mouths, stunned.
They had thought that Yakumo Kurama's Kekkei Genkai sickness could be cured, but they had never imagined it could reach this state.
Sickness comes like an avalanche but leaves like the unraveling of a silk thread.
Logically, even if the illness had already been cured, a body like Yakumo Kurama's, which had lacked exercise for a long time, should need a certain amount of time to recover.
But the current Yakumo Kurama had gone directly from a state where she would get out of breath just by walking, to running for so long around the villa without feeling tired…
It was too astonishing!
Even Mirai Uchiha was a little surprised.
Hashirama's cells were truly powerful, capable of producing such a drastic change in a person in an instant.
Knowing that Yakumo Kurama had been repressing herself for a long time, everyone watched silently as she let it all out.
After a long while, Yakumo Kurama finally stopped running.
Her eyes were already red and swollen. She had dreamed countless times of a scene like this.
And now, it had finally come true!
She could finally, like a normal person, run freely under the blue sky and white clouds.
And most importantly…
In the future, she could really choose to become a ninja!
Yakumo Kurama walked over to Mirai Uchiha and knelt directly: "Captain Mirai, you have given me a new life. It is a debt I cannot repay. From today on, everything I have belongs to you."
Hearing Yakumo Kurama's words, Mirai Uchiha helped her up and said humbly: "Actually, the one you should thank the most is Master Shinku."
"He was the one who asked me for help, and that's how I learned of your illness."
"Uh…" Yakumo Kurama was perplexed for a moment and turned to look at Shinku Yūhi. "Mr. Shinku, thank you very much."
The corner of Shinku Yūhi's mouth twitched.
Wow, what flexible and varied ways of returning a favor, he thought.
Seeing his daughter somewhat embarrassed, Murakumo Kurama laughed a couple of times and said loudly: "Captain Mirai, nobody leaves today. We won't leave until we're drunk!"
As for Yakumo Kurama's decision, he saw no problem with it.
Not to mention that Mirai Uchiha had really saved Yakumo's life, giving her and the Kurama clan new hope. Just Mirai Uchiha's power and influence were enough for the Kurama clan to invest everything in him.
If they succeeded, the Kurama clan might very well regain its former glory!
However, Mirai Uchiha smiled and waved his hand: "Chief Murakumo, let's leave the drinking for another time."
"The three prohibitions of ninjas must be respected, right?"
His words left everyone present stunned, and then they remembered.
This ninja of exceptional strength and unparalleled prestige in the ninja world was not yet of legal age…
————
At the banquet.
Murakumo Kurama, his face flushed from drinking, approached Mirai Uchiha and said in a low voice: "Captain Mirai, I heard from Yakumo that to maintain her current body state, she needs you to suppress it with your eye power every day."
Mirai Uchiha nodded: "That's right, what about it?"
Murakumo Kurama said immediately: "That would be too much trouble for you. I was wondering if… could Yakumo move into your house?"
"Huh?" Mirai Uchiha frowned. "Wouldn't that be inappropriate?"
Murakumo Kurama sighed: "I know this request is somewhat impolite, but for Yakumo's sake, I beg you to accept."
"Whatever you need, our clan will support you with all our strength."
He turned to look at Yakumo Kurama, who was watching him with eyes full of expectation. Mirai Uchiha could only nod and accept with resignation.
Are these the rewards of an exceptional man?
What can I do, he thought.
————
He took Yakumo Kurama back to the clan territory and briefly explained the situation to Mikoto Uchiha.
Mikoto Uchiha simply smiled and, on her own initiative, helped Yakumo Kurama prepare a room.
After arranging everything, Mikoto Uchiha returned to her room and, seeing Mirai Uchiha with a slight frown, approached to comfort him: "Master, you don't have to worry about my feelings."
"My status is not worthy of being your wife, so I won't be jealous of other women, please don't worry."
Hearing this, Mirai Uchiha sighed: "I'm not worried about that."
Mikoto Uchiha was puzzled: "Then what are you worried about?"
"The house we live in now is too small. I'm worried that the noise we make at night will wake Yakumo up."
"Yakumo is at that age where she's curious about everything. What if she can't sleep and sneaks up to the door…"
Before Mirai Uchiha could finish speaking, Mikoto Uchiha was already completely flushed.
This scoundrel, why does he always manage to make my whole body burn with just a few words?
Thinking about the scene Mirai Uchiha had just described, Mikoto Uchiha felt her body begin to heat up again…
