Ninja Ice House

Chapter 536 Madness

Unconsciously, she reached out to remove the blindfold covering her eyes, but was stopped by a pair of hands that were so cold they didn't feel like human touch. Then Karin's voice came over.

"I actually have a way to immediately restore you to a state where you can see normally, your body is back to normal, and you have enough chakra remaining, but it's not possible..."

"Why? I sense a battle going on not far away..."

"It's not that it's not far, but that without help, you simply can't get close quickly. If you wander around recklessly, you might get caught in a spacetime turbulence. If you don't die, you might be thrown into the ninja world by a spacetime rift thousands of kilometers away."

Karin chuckled lightly.

"Actually, there's no particular reason. Physical investments are relatively easy to make up for, but mental overexertion is hard to alleviate quickly with external forces. It can only be improved slowly with long-term rest."

"rest?"

"That is, sleeping!"

Karin glanced at Kurama Yakumo, whose attention seemed to be drawn to the battle outside, then turned to Uchiha Sasuke and said...

"The surgery was a success. In a while, you will be able to appreciate the difference between then and now."

"There's something new in his eyes."

"That was Itachi Uchiha's eye power, which was transplanted into you before his life force was completely dissipated. In fact, some special things were even sealed away. Of course, none of this has anything to do with me."

"Is Itachi Uchiha... dead now?"

“Itachi Uchiha in the old sense would probably be hard to survive in his original form, but we can’t say he’s completely dead. He might even… have taken a completely different path, one that is entirely different from the current one.”

Seeing Sasuke's somewhat puzzled expression, Karin didn't offer any further explanation.

As a ninja, Itachi Uchiha has completed his mission. The rest is up to him to decide what path he will take in the future.

There are actually many more things I could say, but there's no need to.

The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward. Just as Karin was about to break the silence, she suddenly frowned and looked at the person who had suddenly appeared in the ripples that appeared in the illusion space.

"you are?"

"Ringo Ameyuri, one of the 'Eight Great Generals,' 'Wild Lightning,' come and see our organization's member 'Controlling Flame,' or something else..."

"How did you get in?"

"who knows?"

The former female ninja, chuckling and revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth, retorted.

Is this important?

Karin frowned as she looked at Kiba, the Raito, which was slung over Ringo Ameyuri's shoulder. She then sensed the faint, seemingly useless chakra within Sasuke Uchiha and understood some things.

"The Seven Ninja Swords of the Hidden Mist are indeed extraordinary."

"It has some merit, but how to use it depends on the master's strength and ideas. Although the main function of this Lightning Blade Kiba is to enhance Lightning Release, it also has many different uses. Tracking and establishing chakra resonance is just one of the simplest ones."

"Lightning Release... no, it's lightning... or rather, electric field... electromagnetic fields can penetrate the barriers of space and transmit. Lightning Blade Kiba does indeed possess the theoretical ability to perceive across time and space, but to actually utilize it is extremely difficult."

Among the Kirigakure ninjas who have grown up in recent years, there are not many who truly deserve the title of genius. Among these ninjas with considerable strength, Ringo Ameyuri seems to have a low profile, but almost no one denies her reputation as a genius.

In terms of training talent and combat potential alone, she is a genius no less than the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura Karatachi, and the Fifth Mizukage, Mei Terumi, but it will be difficult for her to grow to her full potential.

Having a bad mind is a serious injury, or rather, it's like having your brain damaged by lightning. Your thoughts often differ significantly from those of ordinary people, and your actions are often difficult for others to understand.

"So what do you want to do?"

"Come and see, kill Uchiha Sasuke, or be killed by him. However, it's a bit disappointing that he's overexerted to this extent. His injuries are actually quite serious. If it weren't for a skilled medical ninja, he would probably be dead by now."

He had already realized that this genius female ninja with a slightly troubled mind, who acted entirely on her senses and instincts, was completely incapable of fighting again after the battle between the Uchiha Itachi and Uchiha Sasuke brothers. Not to mention, she had just undergone a "minor surgery" and couldn't even see clearly.

"You definitely won't die. If it weren't for some quack doctor's botched treatment, you'd probably need ten to fifteen days to recover most of your fighting strength. Please don't change the subject. What do you want to do? Fight me?"

"It would be best if we could have a good, unrestrained fight, but... you're not my target. Uchiha Sasuke would be the best, and Hatake Kakashi would be acceptable too."

Karin was somewhat helpless, seeing her brain not working properly and her thoughts going in circles like this.

It's because the Lightning Release entered the brain and burned the nerves that control reason. It seems that neither Uchiha Sasuke nor Hatake Kakashi, nor even the Raikage of all generations, have experienced this problem.

If one had to find a reason, it would be that the side effects of the Raiden Kiba seem to have profoundly affected Ringo Ameyuri.

Ringo Ameyuri, who occasionally loses control purely for the thrill of battle, is, relatively speaking, not too annoying, even though her purity is somewhat offensive.

"You're taking Uchiha Sasuke away?"

“If I don’t do it, will someone take him away? That strange man outside with the vortex mask who calls himself Uchiha Madara seems to have the same intention. But... we are teammates of the ‘Eight Orochi Generals’ after all.”

As for whether Sasuke Uchiha was used as bait to lure the masked man and the pale-faced monster into a life-or-death battle, no one can say for sure.

Even after being freed from an inevitable death, Ringo Ameyuri's behavior still follows a pattern.

She's someone lacking in morality, but with enough fighting power, and always looking for novelty and fun. She may not fully grasp the risks of combat, but constantly teetering on the brink of death and experiencing the pleasure from excessive hormone secretion is something Ringo Ameyuri finds hard to resist.

"You... are a patient, do you need treatment?"

He's already an adult, but he's only a little over 1.4 meters tall, which is significantly below average. This is most likely due to developmental defects caused by abnormalities, and a severe endocrine imbalance is almost certain.

Human emotions are largely controlled by hormones.

"No, no, no, I think this is great! Following the rules and regulations is a bit hard to endure. It's so rare to be able to act freely according to my own ideas."

"Then... go ahead. If you have the ability to send Uchiha Sasuke away and survive his clutches, then we'll talk..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sky above him brightened, the illusion barrier was broken, and a huge, dark vortex appeared, absorbing the dissipated chakra and natural energy.
