Chapter 145: The Iron-willed Tayuya
"Of course Lord Orochimaru values me!" Kimimaro answered without hesitation.
Taking him in when his family was in dire straits, making use of him when he was healthy, and treating him at all costs when he was sick, if this is not respect, then...
"Then why didn't he use the Sealing Technique to save your life, but rather watched you get tortured?" Hanabi asked innocently or bluntly.
Although "Bloodline Disease" is a terminal illness, there are treatment methods that can eliminate the root cause. A sealing technique targeting the bloodline limit will be the solution. There is no way Orochimaru doesn't know the relevant technique.
"Orochimaru...My Lord needs useful pawns. I, who have been sealed and become a useless person, am of no value to him." Kimimaro raised his fists with his hands on the futon, and the wrinkles between his brows revealed the pain in his heart.
"'Becoming an ordinary person' does not mean 'becoming a useless person'. Could it be that in such a big village like Yinyin Village, there is not even one ordinary person?" Luo Yi added at the right time.
"That... is different." Kimimaro's rebuttal was weak.
There are not so many ninjas in the world, and Orochimaru's subordinates are not talented, and less than 10% of them are capable. Why did they let him lie in bed and wait for death, instead of sealing his abilities and letting him work for Orochimaru like an ordinary person?
"The answer is the 'ratchet effect'. After seeing your powerful side, he would rather let you die powerfully than watch you live an ordinary life like an ordinary person. In this case, do you still think he values you?" Luo Yi launched a combo to break the defense.
"If he didn't value me, he wouldn't have done so much for me." Kimimaro could ignore the neglect he received after he became ill, but he could still vividly remember the kindness he had shown him in the past few years.
"Think about it, if Orochimaru had to choose between "death" and "becoming an ordinary person", what would you advise him to choose if you valued him?" Hanabi completed the kill.
Kimimaro fell silent.
——The contribution is equal.
...
Three hours later.
Rizu walked out of the ward and wiped the sweat from his forehead. An hour of intense concentration had left him physically and mentally exhausted more than a battle.
There is no way. The difficulty of casting a seal is not just talk, and there is also a time limit.
It's not the kind of thing that can be used randomly with one wing. If used on the enemy Orochimaru, you can do whatever you want without any scruples and torture him in any way you want.
It's a pity for this legendary Ninja King of Endurance, who has been turned into a state of neither human nor snake.
"Thank you for your hard work, father-in-law. I really don't dare to use this kind of sealing technique against bloodline limits." Luo Yi handed over the towel.
"It's okay. The "Bird in a Cage" is a sealing technique developed for bloodline limits. He has encountered a professional." Hiashi wiped the sweat off his face and looked back at the boy sleeping soundly on the bed. "It's your credit that we were able to persuade him to accept the sealing technique."
He and Kimimaro were what is known as "uncle" and "nephew". As an elder, he really didn't want to see young people suffer such an unprovoked disaster.
There are many ordinary people who are not ninjas in the Hyuga clan and the Kaguya clan. What could be more important than saving one's life?
"It's all thanks to Fireworks." Luo Yi smiled with satisfaction. He didn't expect that the little girl would understand well the words he casually said to inspire her classmates during class in the daytime.
"It's Luo Yi's good teaching..." Hua Huo lowered her head shyly when she was praised in public.
After some ideological struggle, Kimimaro asked Hiashi to seal him for another three days. During these three days, he would figure out what he wanted and make a final decision.
"Even though he is an enemy, Orochimaru has adopted him for so many years. This is not something that can be changed overnight." Hiashi knew his inner struggle.
In the ninja world that advocates pragmatism, "value" ultimately lies in "understanding", otherwise pioneers such as Jiraiya would not have risked their lives one after another for the sake of mutual understanding between people.
"Brother Kimimaro..." In Hinata's only impression, this brother from a foreign country and race was gentle and elegant, but he has become so pitiful today.
"Three days will pass quickly. Apart from being a little stubborn, he's not a stupid person. I hope he can figure it out." Although Luo Yi didn't hold much hope for this, he at least said it in an optimistic tone.
How about letting Naruto come and see him tomorrow during the day and perform his slightly improved "Ultimate Illusion: Kototenzuku"?
I was afraid that he would talk back and make Kimimaro so angry that he would run away on the spot.
"Okay, it's getting late. We've been busy since the evening and haven't had dinner yet. Do you want to go to Ichiraku..." Luo Yi suddenly remembered that he hadn't eaten ramen for a while.
"Doctor Luo, come here quickly, the Sound Ninja girl has woken up." A nurse came running from the stairs.
What a coincidence? Luo Yi was stunned.
A girl? Hanabi was surprised.
So, the two said goodbye to Hiashi and Hinata, went downstairs and came to a intensive care unit with a guard at the door, and the two guards were...
"Izumo, Zitie, aren't you guarding the village gate? Why are you here?" Luo Yi felt like he was caught in "The Truman Show". Could these two brothers be shadow clones?
"Zitie seems to be under too much stress and has some gastric bleeding, so let's go to the hospital. By the way, Lady Tsunade asked us to do some simpler work and guard the prisoners' ward." Izumo explained logically.
I'm the legendary goalkeeper of Konoha.
By the way, Zitie's face was an exaggerated green color. Who would have thought that he came to the hospital not for medical treatment but for work.
"Ahem... buddy has some important stuff to do right now. When I'm done with this, I'll go find the Fifth Hokage to draft a labor law." Luo Yi made a casual statement and walked towards the ward with the little girl.
Then came a pillow.
"Eight Easy Palms"
Hanabi activated instantly and sucked the pillow into her hands; if her fiancé hadn't kept winking at her, she would have wanted to smash it with her palm.
On the hospital bed was a cute girl with long red hair, a bandage on her head, and a very dissatisfied expression on her face, seeming to be full of hostility towards Luo Yi.
"You bastard! You're the one who removed my curse, right?" Tayuya looked like he was in a very bad mood after waking up, and his mental state was about to overflow.
"Stinky... second son? So Luo Yi is also the second son in the family?" As the second daughter, Hua Huo will grasp the key points.
"No, although I have a distant cousin, I am indeed an only child." Luo Yi felt the need to explain, "and that's not what she meant..."
"Oh...and besides, Luo Yi obviously doesn't stink at all. I can testify that we take a bath together every day." Hua Huo retorted in a strange way.
"Silly girl, what stinky dick means is..." Tayuya was just about to explain the swearing techniques in the ninja world.
"Stop talking, believe it or not, I won't give you a hair transplant!" Luo Yi began to threaten. He knew why she had to put a bandage on her head even though there was no wound on it.
"You..." Tayuya was about to go berserk, but then she remembered again...
Her "Seal of the Earth" is gone.
That’s right, it was indeed the masterpiece of Luo Yi, the two immortals of Myoboku Mountain and Hiashi.
When the holder of the curse seal is forced to exhaustion and extreme weakness, the seal will erode at an uncontrollable speed, and the holder will either be invaded by Orochimaru's cells hidden within it or be killed by the power of the seal.
After studying the cause of death of Sakon and Ukon, the top leaders of Konoha decided to try to treat the curse seal while the Sage was present, and perhaps they could completely cure the curse seal on Anko in the future.
The principle is very simple. Fukasaku injects chakra, and when the energy of the Toad Sage and the natural energy of Jūgo collide, Luo Yi uses Yin-Yang Release to destroy the curse seal itself.
However, the operation is very demanding, and the success on Tayuya was just a fluke; plus, the "Heaven's Curse Seal" on Anko's body lasted longer and eroded deeper, so Tsunade did not approve of another attempt.
Even the magic on Kimimaro was not removed, but the more mature and reliable "Bird in a Cage" seal was chosen.
"I won't thank you! Don't even think about it!" To be fair, Tayouya did feel a sense of freedom after the curse disappeared.
But it was impossible for her to thank the young man in front of her.
"I'm not here to ask for your thanks." Luo Yi was too lazy to argue with the foul-mouthed girl. "Since you're awake, you're a prisoner of Konoha. Anyway, eat first, and then you'll be tortured."
The nurse had already brought in dinner. It was Konoha's custom to treat prisoners well.
The hungry Luo Yi and Hua Huo were so greedy that their mouths were watering.
"I will just starve to death outside. If I jump off here, I won't eat a single thing from you!"
"Huh?"*2
