RoU Chapter 73: Kurama Yakumo
🕑 Added 2023-10-26 04:22:11 +0000 UTCSasuke naturally won't resort to real 'action'. After all, if he really did it, what if he ended up getting used to it? The emotions she might experience on future occasions would decrease considerably.
But even just by observing, after experiencing so much stimulation... Although Sasuke didn't directly promote his Sharingan, he felt as if he had made great progress in his mind.
A warm current flowed through his mind, but due to issues like lack of follow-up, it ultimately only lightly brushed past.
"Could this be a precursor to the promotion of the Sharingan?" Sasuke suddenly became excited. "Although I failed this time, if I put in more effort next time, I might be able to promote the Sharingan again!"
The feeling of shame can truly stimulate the progress of the Sharingan. Sasuke successfully proved this point.
Of course, he believed that the main reason for his failure to promote this time was Naruto.
Although Naruto initially glared at Sasuke with gritted teeth for a long time, he soon couldn't help but want to leave—since I don't have any money, I can't do anything. Is staying here just for the sake of looking into the distance?
Sasuke made a decision and made countless promises. Like buying you potato chips, buying you manga, buying you ice cream, grilled meat skewers...
But it only kept Naruto stable for a while, and in the end, he couldn't bear it and chose to leave, even if it meant not having these things.
Sasuke sighed helplessly and could only follow along and leave.
'Next time, next time I'll bring Naruto along. I should be able to promote the Sharingan!' Sasuke thought to himself.
Of course, he also took care of Naruto's mood as the tool, and after leaving the club, he headed straight to the commercial street, buying all sorts of delicious food and stuffing Naruto's arms full.
Sasuke believed that with this premise in place, he should be able to bring Naruto along next time. And then he would definitely be able to promote the Sharingan!
But Naruto was thinking something else.
"I need to save money!" Naruto secretly encouraged himself. "Next time, I absolutely can't just stand by Sasuke's side!"
"I... also want to experience it!"
The feeling of just being able to watch from the sidelines was too pitiful, it was simply something a man couldn't accept.
As for now... Eat! Eat more!
"Eating enough, I can skip dinner when I get home tonight and save a meal's worth of money..."
Naruto took a big bite of meat skewer and felt very satisfied.
Sasuke looked at Naruto's 'happy' expression and also felt satisfied. The camaraderie between classmates quickly warmed up...
Meanwhile...
The Uchiha residence welcomed a unique guest.
"Hello, I'm from the Kurama Clan. I've come to visit."
Kurama Unkai, accompanied by Kurama Yakumo, dressed in formal kimono, with a respectful attitude. He finally came!
There's no other way. The problem that even Konoha's strongest genjutsu ninja, Yūhi Kurenai, can't solve can only be resolved by the Uchiha clan!
"Kurama Unkai, welcome. The Uchiha clan greets the esteemed guest." Natsuo also spoke with formalities and welcomed him in.
Or rather, this is the only job Natsuo has besides having children and maintaining the Uchiha clan's business empire.
Building good relationships with other clan leaders, that's the chief's job!
He brought the two Kurama Clan members to the reception room.
After a few cups of tea, Kurama Unkai didn't hide anything and directly explained his request.
"I hope you can help Yakumo." Kurama Unkai lowered his head and said in a deep voice. "This is the only hope for our Kurama Clan. The Uchiha clan has a long history and rich heritage. You are the only way for me to solve my niece's problem."
"Please!"
As he said that, he bowed down directly.
"Yakumo... Let me assess the situation first." Natsuo pondered for a moment and spoke.
Saying that, he walked to Yakumo's side and confidently observed this unique girl.
Kurama Yakumo was very beautiful. Perhaps because she hadn't been outside for a long time, her skin was extremely fair, almost pale, which formed a sharp contrast with her reddish-brown hair.
Placed among the beautiful wives of the Uchiha harem, her appearance is top-notch.
Natsuo pinched her hand, pressed her muscles, and activated his Sharingan, carefully staring into her eyes...
"A very powerful mental power." Natsuo withdrew his hand. "Even without taking action, I can feel a faint pressure... This child should have the highest talent among your Kurama clan."
"Yes, that's true." Kurama Unkai sighed bitterly. "But it's precisely because it's too high that her body can't bear it."
Yakumo's situation is simple - her body is oppressed by an excessively powerful mental power.
The Kurama clan's training method is related to illusion techniques. The more they train their mental power, the stronger it becomes, but it also oppresses the body, making it weaker. The gap between the two sides becomes larger and larger.
Of course, the Kurama clan has also considered methods to first train the body.
However, under the influence of the overpowering mental power that has already oppressed the body, it is difficult for the body to even practice...
It has become a deadlock!
"However, Yakumo carries the expectations of the clan. She desires to become stronger and always wants to train... In the end, it triggered that disaster." Kurama Unkai fell silent for a moment, and finally revealed the incident of Yakumo's subconscious killing her parents.
Yakumo scoffed at this, clearly thinking that the Third Hokage wanted to kill me, not like what you said. Her expression was visible to everyone, but no one paid attention to it.
After all, people with mental illness always claim that they are not mentally ill, which is an unsolvable problem.
In essence, it is the problem of her excessively strong mental power and the inability to train her body.
"We can consider finding a way to seal off Yakumo's mental power." Natsuo thought for a moment and said: "I also don't have a way to quickly strengthen her body, so while I seal her mental power, I will train her body until it is strong enough to withstand her own mental power."
"This should be the best solution."
"The Third Hokage also said the same, but...," Kurama Unkai paused. "There is no one in Konoha who can complete this task."
He and the Third Hokage initially relied on Yūhi Kurenai to solve this problem. But she ultimately failed as well.
Faced with the formidable mental power of Kurama Yakumo and the monster deep within her heart, she was completely powerless.
"Is that so? Then I have no other options." Natsuo calmly said. "But considering the relationship between our two clans, I can allow Yakumo to go to the Uchiha clan's library to study literature on mental power. Perhaps it will be helpful to her."
The relationship between the two clans? What kind of relationship do the two clans have?
With Natsuo's strength, the problems that Yūhi Kurenai cannot solve may not be unsolvable for him.
But why bother? To solve Yakumo's problem, it requires a stronger mental power than Yakumo's in order to suppress his subconscious.
This requires exposing Natsuo's strength.
Although as Natsuo becomes stronger, he cares less and less about hiding himself. But the Kurama clan is not important enough for him to expose himself just to help them.
Allowing Yakumo to go to the Uchiha clan library to consult literature is already giving them enough respect.
'Anyway, even if I help, Kurama Yakumo won't marry me.' Natsuo thought indifferently. 'Then, it is better to wait for when I expose my strength, and at that time I will see if I will save her.'
Kurama Yakumo is the most talented bloodline of the Kurama clan and will not marry just anyone.
Not to mention that Kurama Yakumo is still young, not yet of legal age, and not suitable for marriage.
Of course, he also doesn't want to see such a lovely girl looking sickly. So, helping to solve this problem in the future is the way to go.
Anyway, this time won't be too long. According to the original timeline of the Naruto Series, The Fourth Great Shinobi War will end seven years later.
And judging by the tension between the Great Nations, war could break out at any moment, which would reduce the waiting time even further.
By then, Yakumo will surely still be safe and sound, so there's no problem in waiting.
Thinking of this, Natsuo calmly picked up a cup of tea and took a sip.
The conversation is almost over, it's time to serve tea and send off the guests.
However, what he didn't expect was...
After a moment of silence, Kurama Unkai suddenly gritted his teeth and spoke up.
"Uchiha Natsuo, if I allow Kurama Yakumo to marry you, will you do everything in your power to help her solve this problem?"
[Pfft!]
Natsuo sprayed out a mouthful of tea.
He looked at the determined Kurama Unkai, then glanced at the slightly lowered and somewhat shy Kurama Yakumo.
"What? Marry me?"
Marry this underage girl?
