Chapter 53 Couldn't Hold Back
Chapter 53 Couldn't Hold Back
It was clear that poor Yakumo Kurama was about to be so frightened by Akali that he wet himself, thus declaring his social death.
Fortunately, seeing the glistening tears in Yakumo Kurama's eyes, Kurenai Yuhi couldn't bear it in the end.
"Akali, stop scaring Yakumo. Yakumo's problem was all about that monster. Now that you've killed it, Yakumo is innocent!"
“Really?” Akali stopped in her tracks.
Seeing that Akali's attitude seemed to have softened, Kurama Yakumo, whose survival instinct was surging wildly, hurriedly nodded:
"Yes, yes, I'm innocent! Waaah, Teacher Hong, and Akali, I was bewitched by that monster, I didn't really mean to do anything to you!"
"Oh?" Akali feigned indifference as she looked at the tearful Kurama Yakumo.
"People with problems will always claim they're innocent, and who knows what's really going on with that monster? Maybe we should just kill it!"
Akali raised her scythe, just as she had done with Eidol, ready to issue the execution order.
[Ding! Emotional value from Yakumo Kurama +9999!]
As Akali raised her weapon, past fantasies resurfaced before Kurama Yakumo's eyes.
In a daze, she seemed to see her head being cut off by a shadow clone, then casually tossed aside by Akali, and the scene flashing across the ground like a revolving lantern!
Akali and Kurenai watched as Yakumo Kurama's eyes began to roll upwards, revealing large patches of white, as if he were about to faint!
"Hey, Yakumo, Yakumo!"
Kurenai Yuhi bypassed Akali and embraced Yakumo Kurama, whose body was sliding down the wall.
Kurenai Yuhi's anxious calls finally brought Yakumo Kurama's soul back from the brink of leaving her body.
Kurama Yakumo opened her eyes, her bewildered gaze sweeping around before she saw Akali smiling at her.
[Ding! Emotional value from Yakumo Kurama +999!]
"Eek!"
Kurama Yakumo tensed up and buried her head in Yuhi Kurenai's arms, sobbing, "Kurenai-sensei, I don't want to die!"
"Alright, alright, you won't die. Akali was just trying to scare you!" Kurenai gently stroked Yakumo Kurama's smooth hair.
Under Kurenai's soothing words, Yakumo Kurama, who had been like a frightened little beast, finally calmed down.
Even so, she still dared not move her head away from Kurenai's embrace, and would occasionally tremble suddenly.
Kurenai knew the reason, and she looked at Akali with a mixture of seriousness and helplessness:
"Akali, stop scaring Yakumo, okay? Even without an explanation, you can probably guess why things happened today, right?"
In Hong's opinion, Akali's personality is really a bit wicked and eccentric, and she is the kind of person who needs to be properly educated, even though she knows the reason.
But what could she do?
Hong now understands that Akali is not someone she can subdue or control; her thinking was wrong from the start.
Since that's the case, then try to lower your stance as much as possible, flatter and coax them to achieve a superficial harmony, and then think about how to get along.
Kurenai was prepared to be toughed on by Akali, because this assessment was indeed the one she had to take the blame for the most.
But to Kurenai's surprise, Akali readily nodded upon hearing her request: "If that's what Miss Kurenai asks for, then so be it!"
"Huh?" Kurenai Yuhi was taken aback.
How could it be so fast?
Does she mean that, given Akali's previous poor performance, shouldn't they have been given a few more blows?
Kurenai Yuhi didn't quite understand.
But then, Akali winked cutely at Kurenai and asked, "What's wrong, Kurenai?"
"No, it's nothing..."
Kurenai shook her head, forcing herself to calm down.
It seems that her attitude was completely wrong from the start, and it was still wrong just now.
She shouldn't have put Akali in the top lane without thinking. From the beginning until now, all Kurenai Yuhi has been thinking about is fighting Akali, with one side submitting to the other. So, when she couldn't achieve dominance, she put herself in a weak position.
But she never considered the possibility that Akali was actually very friendly to her.
"Hey……"
Kurenai smiled bitterly to herself: "Is it because I was entrusted with such an important task so soon after becoming a Jonin that I'm too anxious about gains and losses? It's such a simple truth, how embarrassing, Kurenai!"
Kurenai gave herself a small internal critique.
When she looked at Akali again, her attitude was much more normal.
Kurenai retorted, "Kurenai? What the hell? Akali, I'm your Jonin teacher. If you don't want to call me teacher, you can call me Miss Kurenai. Is Kurenai someone you can call yourself?"
Akali saluted: "Okay, red, no problem, red!"
"Hey!" Yuhi Hongliu raised her eyebrows, pretending to be angry.
Akali finally knew when to stop: "Understood, Red Teacher!"
"Hmm!" Kurenai's feigned anger vanished, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
Despite the various setbacks, the objective of this assessment was ultimately achieved, whether it was Akali or Yakumo...
Hmm, wait a minute, Yakumo?
Kurenai hurriedly looked at the person in her arms.
Kurama Yakumo had been motionless since the beginning, and now it was discovered that he had completely fainted.
Kurenai turned her head and looked around again. The hut was no longer dark. Yakumo Kurama's spiritual domain had dissipated, and Ido's corpse had also vanished.
In that case, the reason why Yakumo Kurama fainted is very simple: it was because her fragile body could not withstand her strong mental state!
Kurama Yakumo already had this problem; a large part of her physical weakness was due to her overly strong spirit.
However, due to Yakumo Kurama's mental breakdown, he transformed into Ito, which relieved Yakumo Kurama's pressure and eased the situation.
But now that Ido has been killed by Akali, his lost mental strength and pressure have returned, and Kurama Yakumo can't hold on any longer!
"Akali, I need to take Yakumo to the hospital right away. Today's assessment is over. You guys go back to the Ninja Academy to get your headbands. I have to go now!"
With Yakumo Kurama in her arms, Kurenai Yuhi prepared to leave.
But then Akali stopped Kurenai: "Don't worry, Kurenai-sensei, I have a plan!"
"You have a way?" Kurenai Yuhi paused, her body poised to strike.
“That’s right, I have a way!” Akali nodded.
If Kurenai could see through Yakumo Kurama's problem, how could she not?
It's just a physical issue, isn't it? She has plenty of solutions here.
but……
Akali glanced at Kurenai, her eyes conveying a hint.
At first, Kurenai didn't understand, but then she did.
She put down Kurama Yakumo: "I'm going out to check on Hinata."
"Hey, you don't need to go out, just turn your back!"
Akali stopped Kurenai Yuhi. What she was about to do to Yakumo Kurama was neither complicated nor a secret technique.
After Kurenai turned her back to the front, Akali took out a bottle of Steel Potion from her storage space, helped Yakumo Kurama up, and poured it down his throat onto the unconscious Yakumo.
Then, after thinking for a moment, Akali took out another item from her inventory.
It was a fiery red gem, but its surface had patterns resembling burning flames—a burning gem.
After all, while the steel elixir can improve physical fitness, it has its limits. The combustible gem is different; you can use it as soon as you have it.
Akali's physique is currently at the level of a typical Jonin, but a small item like the Burning Gem doesn't provide her with a significant boost.
At the same time, this is also an experiment...
Akali placed the Burning Gem in Yakumo Kurama's palm.
For the first few seconds, Kurama Yakumo, holding the burning gem, did not react.
But a few seconds later, after the buff that the Burning Gem had given Akali was completely severed, the Burning Gem and Yakumo Kurama's aura simultaneously appeared in Akali's perception.
It seems that she can connect the two in the blink of an eye.
Akali thought this way, and she did this way, using her spirit to connect Yakumo Kurama and the Burning Gem.
Then Akali watched as the Burning Gem seemed to sink into the water and merge into Yakumo Kurama's body.
It travels upwards along Kurama Yakumo's meridians, eventually reaching the lower abdomen, specifically the dantian area.
The Burning Gem trembled slightly, and a warm life force emanated from it, spreading from Kurama Yakumo's dantian to his limbs and bones.
"Hmm~" Kurama Yakumo, who was unconscious, let out a comfortable groan, as if the burden of many years had been lifted in one day, and his face was also much rosier.
Akali has also confirmed one thing: her equipment can indeed be used by others, but it requires her own skill to use it!
And this feeling was very strange, because Akali could sense that the burning gem in Kurama Yakumo's dantian still belonged to her, and Akali could take it back at any time with a thought.
The operation just now was equivalent to granting the right to use it.
This reassured Akali a lot. She didn't have any lingering resentment about giving equipment to others at the moment, but with so many items in League of Legends, she would always have some she didn't need, which she might be able to use to her advantage.
As for the "one thought to retrieve" operation, it also minimizes the chances of her being betrayed because of giving away equipment.
Meanwhile, just as Akali was pondering, Kurama Yakumo, who had fainted nearly three times in a day, finally groaned and woke up.
Feeling the warmth in my lower abdomen, the warm and comfortable sensation throughout my body as if I were soaking in a hot spring, and the lingering sweetness of the medicinal liquid on my lips and teeth.
Kurama Yakumo was shocked to discover that the physical weakness that had plagued her for so long had, while not completely gone, had been greatly relieved.
If she was originally a Jonin-level genjutsu user but her body was just an ordinary person, then now her body has reached the Chunin level!
"What did you do to me?" Yakumo Kurama looked at Akali in shock.
"It's nothing, I just brought you a bottle of precious secret medicine to strengthen your body."
"Of course, don't get too excited yet. The secret medicine is only strong for the first three hours, and the effect will weaken after that, but the effect will last a very long time."
Akali concealed the details of her equipment.
Of course, this thing will eventually have to confront Kurama Yakumo, but isn't Kurenai Yuhi still here?
Even if the problem was attributed to the steel compound, Yakumo Kurama was still shocked enough!
"Is there really such a medicine in this world?"
"Well……"
Kurama Yakumo felt a pang of sadness. If she had met Akali years earlier and drunk her secret potion, perhaps her parents wouldn't have died.
Yes, after her recent coma, the fragment of Ido has been completely absorbed by Kurama Yakumo, and she now understands everything from the past, including the crucial issue of her parents.
This time, she truly misunderstood Kurenai.
Of course, there's also Akali, who was caught up in this unfortunate situation.
It's fortunate that Akali existed; her actions didn't lead to a major disaster.
Adding to the secret medicine Akali had just given Kurama Yakumo, Kurama Yakumo's gaze towards Akali completely changed.
Akali was the first to experience this change.
Kurama Yakumo used to look at her timidly and fearfully, not daring to look her in the eye.
But just now, Yakumo Kurama's gaze suddenly became direct, and his eyes and expression were very intense, full of gratitude.
Akali wouldn't be surprised if she suddenly started saying something like "I have no way to repay you" the moment she was in that state.
But that won't do. Akali has invested real money in Kurama Yakumo and expects a return. She has her eye on Kurama Yakumo's painting talent and plans to start some more projects later.
So Akali said in advance, "Let's make this clear first, I only accept marriage in kind, or freebies like marrying someone else and doing whatever I want!"
"Huh?" This time, it was Kurama Yakumo's turn to be dumbfounded.
Akali's thoughts were sometimes too jumpy, so Yakumo Kurama didn't understand Akali's meaning at all; she only heard the words "to repay with one's body."
She was very grateful to Akali, but if Akali wanted her to repay her kindness with her body...
Kurama Yakumo carefully examined Akali's exquisite, flawless face and perfect figure.
Hmm, it's not entirely unacceptable, is it? She's the one taking advantage.
Kurama Yakumo blushed and lowered her head shyly.
Indeed, Yakumo Kurama is much more accepting of certain things than traditional female ninjas like Kurenai Yuhi.
After all, what was Kurama Yakumo's identity? She was a painter.
She would never tell anyone that Kurama Yakumo is actually a hidden wife in the entertainment circle!
Kurama Yakumo squeezed her legs together.
But it was this action that interrupted all her thoughts, making her body stiffen, as if the zombie king had been reincarnated!
[Ding! Emotional value from Yakumo Kurama +999!]
As Kurama Yakumo squeezed her legs together, she felt some dampness and coolness from her underwear, and her thighs felt somewhat slippery.
I don't know if it's because of too many ups and downs today, or because of the tension and relaxation, or because of too much unconsciousness.
In short, after Akali's repeated frights and teasing, poor Yakumo-chan finally couldn't hold back!
Then, Yakumo Kurama stood up abruptly and bowed apologetically:
"I'm so sorry, I suddenly remembered I have something urgent to attend to. I have to go back now. Teacher Hong, and Akali, I will make sure to apologize for my offense later. I'm so sorry!"
After passing Akali, Yakumo trotted away.
Akali and Kurenai Yuhi stared at each other, watching Yakumo Kurama's departing figure.
Then, Kurenai sighed, "Akali, I told you, don't tease Yakumo like this, she can't take it..."
"This……"
Looking at Yakumo Kurama's retreating figure, Akali had to admit that she might have indeed gone a bit too far.
"Okay, mine!" Akali was receptive to the lesson, but remained unrepentant.
And how dare little Kurenai Yuhi lecture her?
Akali delivered a fatal blow: "Speaking of which, Red, have you figured out how to write your mission report this time?"
"Ah, this..."
Through the door, Kurenai saw that at least one-fifth of the forest had been burned down by Tibbers, and she froze.
That wasn't the tree Tibbers burned, it was her money!
[Ding! Kurenai's emotional value +5555!]
