Chapter 80: The Land of Demons Concluded, Power of Moryo Acquired
Twenty minutes later.
Inside a sealed, airtight room, the Daimyo lay unconscious. Outside, numerous guards kept watch as the door remained tightly shut.
Shimizu extracted a wisp of black mist from the Daimyo's body and sealed it into a scroll.
The power of Moryo held great research value. It might even elevate Shimizu's medical ninjutsu to a new level.
Miroku ignored Shimizu's collection of Moryo's power. With Moryo already dead, the remaining power would gradually dissipate and cause no further chaos.
Right now, she just wanted Shimizu to heal the Daimyo as quickly as possible.
After storing the black mist safely, Shimizu began repairing the Daimyo's damaged cells. Once the danger to his life had been mitigated, Shimizu stopped his treatment.
"He won't die now."
"How long until he wakes up?"
Miroku asked the question she was most concerned about.
"How long? That depends on your sincerity, not on me."
Shimizu shook his head slowly, his gaze carrying a subtle implication that made Miroku's heart skip a beat.
In the end, she bit her soft lip.
Looking at the pale face of the Daimyo, she remembered their years of companionship and decided to show sincerity.
She knelt down, assuming a submissive posture.
"Not enough. I want your sealing technique as well."
Shimizu bent down, gripping Miroku's chin.
What he wanted was far more than this — it was simply insufficient.
The sealing technique unique to the Land of Demons was of utmost importance. Unlike external sealing methods, this inheritance was distinct.
Even the Uzumaki Clan's sealing techniques couldn't claim the ability to seal Moryo.
This demonstrated that the Land of Demons' sealing technique had considerable value for study and enhancing one's knowledge.
Miroku furrowed her delicate brows. After thinking it over, she realized that with Moryo gone, the inherited sealing technique was no longer necessary. As long as he didn't demand her priestess chakra, it would be fine.
Thus, she readily agreed to Shimizu's request.
Shimizu continued treating the Daimyo.
He still retained some of Miroku's chakra, which would be enough for research for a while. If he needed more, he could simply "borrow" some from her again.
Shimizu had his reasons for saving the Daimyo — he intended to keep Miroku under his control.
As time ticked by, the Daimyo began to stir under the vibrant healing chakra.
Miroku hurriedly composed herself and watched calmly as the Daimyo's fingers twitched and his eyelids gradually opened.
"You're awake," Miroku said softly.
"Huh?"
The recently awakened Daimyo seemed disoriented and appeared to have questions.
"I'll leave you two to talk," Shimizu said, his objective achieved. He left the room in high spirits.
Miroku then briefly explained the situation to the Daimyo, including her prophecy.
"I see..."
A cold sweat formed on the Daimyo's back.
His memories of being possessed by Moryo were hazy.
That cursed Moryo! It had never intended coexistence as promised — it wanted complete domination!
Fortunately, the ninja from Konoha, Uchiha Shimizu, had intervened.
A wave of gratitude rose in the Daimyo's heart. He realized he had wrongfully doubted Shimizu's intentions.
Miroku had sought out Shimizu because of her prophecy, yet despite inadvertently harming many people, Shimizu insisted on saving him, embodying the spirit of a true healer.
"Uchiha Shimizu truly embodies righteousness!" the Daimyo praised.
Miroku remained silent. Out of a small selfish desire to help the Daimyo live without guilt, she embellished her story slightly. She claimed Moryo had influenced his thoughts, that his subjects adored him, and that Shimizu had treated him with the utmost respect and exerted all efforts to heal him...
A few days later.
Shimizu and his team completed the mission assigned by the Land of Demons: suppressing the rebellion.
After everything was settled, they bid farewell to the Daimyo.
To express his gratitude, the Daimyo personally escorted them, even summoning Miroku to join him.
"No need to see us off further," Shimizu waved dismissively, casting a meaningful glance at Miroku.
Miroku's expression changed instantly as she recalled what she had done for Shimizu.
A blush mixed with fury appeared on her face.
That man! Even when leaving, he had to tease her!
Shimizu smiled faintly, caught up with Minato's team, and disappeared down the road.
Konoha Hidden Village, Hokage Office
Shimizu and his team rushed back and submitted their mission report.
Minato Namikaze informed Hiruzen Sarutobi about Moryo's incident, and Hiruzen praised them all.
Afterward, Shimizu collected his payment and returned home.
It was time for another simulation.
As Shimizu looked at the prompt on the simulator, he pondered silently.
This time, he had obtained something valuable.
[Choose one reward: Dark Medical Ninjutsu, Sealing Talisman, Explosive Tag.]
"I choose Dark Medical Ninjutsu," Shimizu said.
Based on his experiences in the simulation, it was a technique he developed by constantly researching Moryo's power, frequently returning to the Land of Demons, and collaborating with Miroku until he successfully replicated Dark Medical Ninjutsu.
[Dark Medical Ninjutsu Granted]
A surge of knowledge flooded Shimizu's mind, containing all the intricacies of Dark Medical Ninjutsu.
"Not bad," Shimizu muttered.
Comparing this technique to Konoha's medical ninjutsu, he noticed significant differences.
One aimed to heal life, while the other sought to forcibly tap into life potential for a short burst of enhanced strength.
Despite the stark differences, there were valuable insights, particularly techniques for converting life energy into chakra.
In critical moments, burning life energy could reverse the tide of battle and preserve one's life. Staying alive was paramount.
"It seems I need to interact more with key figures from the storyline."
The power of Moryo acquired in the Land of Demons had changed his future through simulation, prompting extensive research and ultimately yielding this valuable technique.
Shimizu speculated that his lack of impressive ninjutsu in Konoha was due to insufficient interaction with the right individuals. Deeper connections would likely increase his chances.
If Kushina Uzumaki came to him frequently, multiple simulations would surely grant him experience and memories of the Uzumaki Clan's sealing techniques.
Time would stack countless possibilities. By controlling these variables, he could achieve his desired results.
"Shimizu! There's a red-haired woman looking for you!"
From outside, Tetsu shouted before leaving.
He felt like he was becoming Shimizu's messenger — every time he encountered women seeking Shimizu, he ended up relaying messages for them.
"Red-haired?"
Shimizu's heart skipped a beat.
Given the timing, it was likely that Kushina and Minato's conflict would reach its peak in the coming days.
This was an excellent opportunity to earn her favor.
When dealing with Kushina, Shimizu knew he couldn't be too aggressive.
If Kushina lost control, the Nine-Tails would go berserk immediately.
While dealing with it in the spiritual world was manageable, in reality, Shimizu doubted he could withstand more than a few of the Nine-Tails' Tailed Beast Bombs.
