Half a month later, the Land of Whirlpools, Masahiko's ho.
"Kimimaro-kun, do we really have to do it again?"
"Karin, please!"
Karin's small face imdiately flushed with a layer of red, but she quickly recovered her plain expression. When she was first 'begged' by Kimimaro, she was indeed extrely excited, but this was Kimimaro's tenth ti 'begging'... she was already able to face it calmly.
"Alright, one last ti!" Karin gritted her teeth, rolled up her right sleeve, and offered her arm to the mouth of Masahiko, who was sleeping deeply on the bed.
Kimimaro slowly helped Masahiko up, letting him open his mouth to bite on Karin's forearm.
A few seconds later, Karin pulled her arm away, shaking her head at Kimimaro. "No good, it's useless."
Kimimaro looked disappointed. "Why is your ability ineffective on God?"
"Maybe Great Elder chose to recover from his injuries himself? Look, isn't the wound on his chest already healed?" Karin suggested tentatively.
"Is it because you didn't bite the right place?" A third voice ca out.
Karin was startled, her small face instantly turning completely red. She turned her head to glare at Haku, who was leaning against the wall. "Haku, what nonsense are you saying!"
Kimimaro was taken aback. "Karin, besides the arm, can other places be bitten?"
"You can also bite the face and chest, the effect is better."
"Karin, please!"
Karin's mouth twitched. She rubbed her fists and wiped her palms as she walked towards Haku. "Haku, do you want to blow you up to the sky?"
Haku, however, smiled and turned to exit the room. "Big Sister Sara! Great Elder is awake!"
"Hmm?" Karin was stunned and turned her head, sure enough seeing Masahiko lying on the bed with a wicked smile hooking the corner of his mouth.
"Great Elder!! So it was you!!!"
An hour later.
Masahiko sat cross-legged on the bed, constantly stuffing all kinds of food into his mouth, looking quite like the eating style of the Akimichi clan.
Sitting around the bed were Nagato and the others who had rushed over upon hearing the news. Chipping in one after another, they recounted to Masahiko the major and minor events that had occurred during the half month he was in a coma.
Masahiko ate the last bite of pork knuckle, drank all the porridge Sara had boiled for him, let out a burp, and finally spoke.
"Karin, stop glaring at so angrily. I'll count it as you being filial. However, this 'biting' ability cannot be used on ; it consus life force. If my subconscious hadn't refused to absorb it, I would have bitten you into an old woman long ago."
Karin's small face instantly turned pale.
Masahiko swept his gaze over everyone present and smiled. "That stupid cat was finally reliable for once, knowing to quietly bring back. So, only you guys know about my injury and coma?"
"A portion of people in Konoha also know," Konan replied. "Big Sister Tsunade was still here yesterday. She confird that your body had completely recovered and that you would wake up very soon, before leaving with Big Sister Kushina."
"Hmm?" Masahiko was stunned. He was wondering what was missing; it turned out Kushina wasn't here.
"No one in Konoha can undo your seal, so Big Sister Kushina went to help. They hope to change to a different sealing thod for Lord First Hokage," Konan continued.
"Hashirama? He's... still pinned to the ground by ?" Masahiko laughed in spite of himself. He could imagine how distressed Hashirama must be, especially when junior after junior went to visit him.
"Lord Third has already sent people to completely cordon off the Senju ancestral land, and has also dismissed many reconnaissance ninjas from other villages, making the entire ninja world tense, thinking they are secretly planning sothing," Minato chid in from the side.
Masahiko nodded. Naturally, Hashirama's sorry state couldn't be seen by others. "I understand. I'll go personally later. Kushina will have a hard ti undoing my seal too. By the way, is Mito still locking herself up?"
Minato nodded. "Lady Mito is worried about suddenly losing control and hurting others."
Masahiko looked thoughtful. The Edo Tensei on Mito and Hashirama hadn't been undone even now, which ant that the young man was either dead or so heavily injured that he still couldn't move freely.
The first possibility was naturally the best, but in case it was the second, he might suddenly control Hashirama and Mito at any ti to attack the people around them. It was better to keep them temporarily sealed.
"Let's hope that guy is dead."
"Yo! Sensei, you haven't said who injured you like this?" Nagato spoke up.
Masahiko sighed. Recalling the battle before he fell into a coma, it was simply like two cheaters comparing whose cheat was more durable and long-lasting.
How Itomi's Eight Inner Gates ultimate technique compared to Night Guy, Masahiko couldn't judge. But Nakajiki's aged body was much worse than Guy's in his pri, so the power of Itomi's Eight Gates ultimate technique would naturally be much smaller, but it made up for it in quantity... He kicked Masahiko a full four tis.
Fortunately, Masahiko also had a cheat. Adding points ti and ti again made him outlast Itomi, allowing him to win this battle in a sorry state.
"Itomi was summoned by Edo Tensei. The Eight Inner Gates Formation is truly a terrifying jutsu..." Masahiko sighed with emotion. "Don't worry, there won't be a second ti."
Regardless of whether that young man died or not, there wasn't a second immortal body to act as a sacrifice anymore.
Not chatting much further, Masahiko simply asked a few more questions, then used the excuse that he still needed rest to wave them away.
"Father, are you alright?" Only Sara was left in the room.
Masahiko laughed. "What could be wrong with ? Don't worry, I just want to sleep a little longer. This fight was really tiring."
Sara closed the door from the outside, her face full of concern.
Masahiko sat on the edge of the bed, striking a 'Thinker' pose, and began to reflect on himself...
"This ti I got carried away and unknowingly talked too much nonsense, otherwise that guy might not have had the chance to summon Itomi.
After obtaining the Kekkei Mora and thrashing Madara twice, I felt I was invincible. Itomi taught , his teacher, a lesson..."
Masahiko glanced at the attribute panel. Due to the consumption of life force, his age had increased by two years, becoming 36 again. However, this had no effect; his appearance remained virtually unchanged.
As for his strength, it hadn't decreased, but rather increased.
Yang Attribute
LV9 (8,650,000 / 10,000,000)
The improvent of the Yang Attribute also drove the enhancent of Masahiko's constitution, along with an increase in his chakra capacity.
After a long silence, Masahiko shook his head and laughed. "Nagging is a common ailnt of the elderly; I reckon it'll be hard for to change. Then I can only improve my strength. If I had 135 more Witness Points to max out the Yang Attribute, I wouldn't have been in such a sorry state this ti."
"Speaking of which, why do I keep feeling a chill down my spine since waking up? Is so scoundrel secretly plotting to murder ?"
"If I want to improve my strength... training is useless, I can only rely on Witness Points. What plots happened in Konoha Year 55 again? What events are still possible to happen now?"
Pondering for a mont, Masahiko flipped over and lay down on the bed.
"I have to plan this out properly, acquire enough Witness Points, and max out all my skills..."
"Edo Itomi? I'll beat him easily. Six Paths descends? I'll chase him down and kick him. Even if Kaguya resurrects, I'll pin her down and thrash her..."
Masahiko fell asleep.
