Chapter 62: The Mission Changes Again
It was pitch black.
He first checked himself with his chakra and found that apart from most of his chakra being absorbed, he had no other injuries, so he breathed a sigh of relief.
He was groping in his ninja tool bag looking for a light source when suddenly a light appeared in front of him.
The system panel pops up.
[Bound to: Kurenai Yuhi (Instance - Asuma Sarutobi)]
[Current Task: Second Impression (Change Kurenai's first impression of you as a womanizer and unreliable, making her understand that you are a more reliable and high-quality male in the ninja world than Asuma Sarutobi), Completed.]
[Please select quest rewards: Illusion - Snowfall Lv1, Trap Crafting Lv2, Illusion Resistance Lv2.]
Shenyue Xingyun did not choose the reward. Instead, she looked around and tried to use the light from the system panel as a flashlight. Unfortunately, the light could not illuminate reality, and the surroundings remained pitch black.
Turning around, he quickly checked the nature of the reward and chose to increase his illusion resistance.
[New Mission: Self-Deception (An accidental encounter opens the door to a new world. Please give Kurenai a reason to believe and hold hands more than 69 times)]
[Task duration: One year.]
[Quest Reward (Choose one): Magic Tree Binding Kill Lv2, Long Hair Care Lv3, Illusion Resistance Lv3.]
Looking at the refreshed quests, Shingetsu Seiun glanced at them and then closed the panel. He fumbled for a light source in his ninja tool bag, and a moment later, a faint light illuminated the dark cave.
Just as she was about to get up, she felt a sensation different from the cold earth beneath her. Looking down, she found that it was Uchiha Mikoto who had fainted.
Shenyue Xingyun was startled and quickly dodged to check on the other party's situation.
He had multiple knife wounds, contusions, and burns all over his body.
The most serious injuries were a fracture in his left arm and sharp rock spikes embedded in his abdomen and thigh.
If they delay any longer, they'll probably bleed to death.
"Mikoto-sensei! Mikoto-sensei!?"
I called out twice, but there was no response.
Shenyue Xingyun couldn't care less about anything else. He took out a kunai and cleaned the wound.
He reached out to heal the other person's wounds.
The green light of the Healing Palm Technique flared up and then went out after a moment. Only then did he realize that he didn't have enough chakra.
The previous fierce battle had already depleted his chakra considerably, and then the strange rock formations absorbed almost all of it. Now, he struggles to even use the Three Body Technique, let alone the Palm Healing Technique.
Even more deadly was that he could feel his chakra slowly draining away, as if the strange absorption power still existed within the space.
"No way?" Shen Yue Xingyun felt a little panicked.
"Looks like we've gone too far?"
When the cave entrance closed, he didn't use his teleportation ability to try and escape alone. Firstly, because the opportunity was rare and he wanted to improve Kurenai's impression of him so he could complete the mission. Secondly, since the enemy was dead, with one person inside and the other outside, their safety was at least guaranteed.
Unexpectedly, the opponent's techniques were so vicious and powerful.
Just when I was having a problem, the panel lit up.
[Bound to: Uchiha Mikoto (Instance - Uchiha Fugaku)]
[Current Task: Advanced Version of Master-Disciple Relationship (Uchiha Mikoto has been feeling down lately. Please massage her fingertips for 80 minutes to relieve her stress.)]
[Task deadline: Two days (Expired task will be void)]
[Task refreshed!]
[New Task Issued: Ultimate Master-Disciple Relationship (Uchiha Mikoto has been feeling down lately. Please massage her fingertips for 120 minutes to relieve her stress.)]
[Task Time Limit: One Day]
[Task Rewards (Choose one): Demon King Training Manual Lv3, Uchiha Fluid Jutsu Lv3, Great Fireball Jutsu 1000x Special Skill Amplification Card.]
The Divine Moon Nebula fell silent.
At that moment, he sensed the system's deep malice.
"System, are you doing this on purpose?"
[Ding! ~]
[Host detected in a dangerous state, special reward triggered!]
[Complete this mission to receive 3 Chakra Recovery Cards.]
Shenyue Xingyun: "..."
"System, what good does it do you to mess with me like this?"
"I do not understand."
He paused, then thought to himself, "Besides, before I even finish the mission, Ms. Misaka will already be dead."
[Ding! ~]
[Filial piety detected as perfect!]
[Congratulations, host, you have received an extra "Use Now, Pay Later" exclusive privilege!]
[Choose to accept the quest to receive 3 Chakra Recovery Cards in advance. Note: The host must complete the quest simultaneously with healing to avoid skipping out on the payment.]
"Phew~"
The smell of blood in his nose grew stronger, and he let out a long breath.
System, you win.
But I'm certain that your product didn't pass safety testing when it left the factory!
Suppressing his chaotic thoughts, he looked down at the unconscious Uchiha Mikoto in front of him.
"Receive the mission."
"Use the Chakra Recovery Card!"
In an instant, a large amount of chakra surged out of his body!
The meridians, which were almost dried up, were suddenly filled with chakra, which surged through them and rapidly filled every corner of the body with surging energy.
Soon, the chakra that had been depleted in the battle was fully restored, and even the pain in his body was greatly reduced.
Shen Yue Xingyun immediately began treating Uchiha Mikoto without further delay.
With two "plop" sounds, the spikes on the opponent's abdomen and thigh were pulled out.
Mikoto Uchiha let out a muffled groan, her eyeballs trembling slightly beneath her eyelids.
Ignoring the other person's trembling muscles due to pain, he pressed his hands against the wound to stop the bleeding, and quickly covered it with the chakra of the Palm Healing Technique.
Soon, the blood stopped flowing from the wound.
The continuously growing granulation tissue gradually closed up, and Shenyue Xingyun moved to begin treating the other wounds.
Stop the bleeding first!
Once all the wounds, big and small, had been treated and the severed arm had been reattached, Shenyue Xingyun finally relaxed.
"Everything's alright for now, phew~"
He took a sip of water to catch his breath, then fumbled for a few ration pills and popped them into his mouth before continuing to treat his wounds.
Mikoto Uchiha's injuries were severe.
In addition to fractures and two penetrating wounds, there was blood loss from numerous wounds, burns on the body surface, excessive consumption of chakra, and internal injuries sustained in battle.
They are not yet completely out of danger.
Clean up any obstructions that might interfere with his treatment.
He took out the medicine and water bottle from his ninja tool bag, moistened a gauze cloth, and wiped away the dirt and dust from his body bit by bit.
Especially for burned areas, extra care should be taken to treat them.
In not-so-bright light.
The bloodstains on the skin were slowly wiped away, revealing the original color.
[The system has detected that the host has not started the task. Please start it as soon as possible, otherwise the system will update and restart.]
Shenyue Xingyun replied irritably, "I know, I know."
"Let's begin."
Then, he lowered his head and silently recited a phrase in his mind.
"Mikoto-sensei, I'm so sorry."
……
Mikoto Uchiha felt like she was having a dream.
In his dream, Fugaku changed his mind and no longer considered sending his young son to the front lines.
The other person seemed to have returned to their former self; the gloom accumulated from family affairs was gone from their face, replaced by a warm smile.
He apologized to himself.
He was telling himself about the neglect and debt he had incurred over the years.
She happily reconciled with the other party, responding to their rekindled passion.
But gradually, he realized something was wrong.
Why has Fugaku's enthusiasm lasted so long today?
