Chapter 339: Yakumo Kurama
At this moment, hearing the Sixth Hokage, who was famous in the Ninja World for his great strength and thunderous methods, personally say he would "deal with Ido," the two guards were first stunned, and then their faces were instantly flooded with uncontrollable surprise and relief!
The older guard’s voice trembled with excitement: "Is... is it true? Hokage-sama, thank you, thank you so much!"
The younger guard also nodded repeatedly, his eyes filled with hope: "Young Miss Yakumo has been suffering all this time... if Ido can be dealt with, that would be wonderful! We’re truly sorry for troubling you to come here in the midst of your busy schedule..."
The two of them were members of the Kurama Clan stationed here day after day. Aside from being on guard, they couldn’t help but feel a hint of sympathy for the lonely and dangerous girl inside the villa.
Yakumo was the daughter of their former Clan Chief, the niece of the current Clan Chief, and one of the rare clan members to have an Awakening of the Bloodline Limit.
Seeing hope for a solution now, they were naturally happy from the bottom of their hearts.
Listening to their sincere words, Naruto gently waved his hand: "It’s all for Hidden Leaf Village."
His voice was gentle yet firm.
"Protecting every member of the Village, resolving potential hidden dangers, and letting everyone live a stable life.
This is the duty of the Hokage, and it is the common goal of all of us."
"So, there is no such thing as ’trouble’."
As expected of Hokage-sama!
The two guards excitedly opened the courtyard gate.
The architectural style of this villa was very classical, and it occupied a very large area.
After all, it was outside the Village, and besides having plenty of money, the Kurama Clan had few people; building a villa to raise one girl was quite easy for them.
Mainly, because that girl possessed a Kekkei Genkai, the possibility of her children inheriting the Kekkei Genkai would be higher.
Some monetary expenses seemed insignificant compared to a Kekkei Genkai.
Hearing the courtyard gate open.
On the second floor of the main residence, on a wide balcony with wooden railings, a sliding door covered with white washi paper was slowly pulled halfway open from the inside.
A slender and frail figure appeared by the balcony railing.
It was Yakumo Kurama.
She seemed to have heard the sound of the courtyard gate opening and people walking below, so she came out from the room to check.
The afternoon sunlight shone obliquely on her, but it didn’t bring her much warmth or Life Qi.
The first thing that caught one’s attention was the sickly paleness of her skin, as if she hadn’t seen the sun for years, or as if her vitality had been excessively consumed.
There was almost no color in her face, only faint shadows under her eyes, as if she hadn’t rested well.
Her expression was also listless, her eyes somewhat vacant and lacking focus, revealing a weariness and numbness from being in a state of long-term isolation and Spiritual exhaustion; she looked like she had no spirit left in her.
Her long chestnut hair wasn’t meticulously groomed, but simply draped naturally over her shoulders and back. The strands were a bit frizzy, with only a simple yellow hairpin above her left ear barely pinning back a small lock of hair as a rare adornment.
Her clothing was also very plain.
This appearance didn’t look like a "Young Miss" from an ancient wealthy clan at all, but more like a "prisoner" who had been confined for a long time and lost all vibrant color.
And that was indeed the case.
She was a prisoner of this place.
Her body was imprisoned by this vast villa, and her Soul was tortured and eroded day and night by the terrifying Heart Demon within her named "Ido".
However, with her strength, it wouldn’t be difficult for her to sneak out if she wanted to.
Let’s finish this quickly.
Naruto easily leaped onto the balcony. Seeing Naruto jump directly to the second floor, Sakura followed closely behind.
"I am Uzumaki Naruto, the Sixth Hokage."
Naruto didn’t waste time on pleasantries; after introducing himself, he got straight to the point.
"We are here to solve the problem with your body. Let me see Ido."
Because just now, his Clone in the Land of Wind finally remembered to transmit information to him, and it was bad news.
Senju Hashirama had fallen unconscious for some unknown reason.
This was a major event!
"Are you here to kill me?"
Yakumo looked at Naruto calmly. Because of Ido, she had always believed her parents were murdered by people sent by the Third Hokage, hence her question.
"If you continue to waste my time, I wouldn’t mind doing so."
Sakura’s expression changed slightly as she listened; she hadn’t expected Naruto to be so direct and forceful.
This was completely different from the "help" and "treatment" scenario she had envisioned.
But looking at Naruto’s calm profile, she ultimately chose silence and trust.
She knew Naruto always had his reasons and a handle on things.
As for Yakumo Kurama, upon hearing Naruto’s undisguised words carrying a death threat, a clear emotional ripple finally appeared on her originally hollow and numb face.
It was a mixture of fear, anger, resentment, and a kind of twisted determination born from being pushed into a corner.
The hand holding her paintbrush trembled violently, and paint from the tip dripped onto the floor, blooming into a small, jarring spot of color.
Her lips twitched slightly as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, no sound came out.
However, her gaze began to change.
Deep within those hollow chestnut eyes, it was as if something dark, viscous, and full of malice was slowly Awakening and squirming, trying to break through that fragile barrier and take control of this pale body.
A cold, evil, and extremely uncomfortable Chakra Aura began to spread uncontrollably from Yakumo Kurama, like cold tentacles quietly reaching toward Naruto and Sakura on the balcony.
Yakumo Kurama did not trust Hidden Leaf Village, and the Seal set by Kurenai Yuhi was something she had performed years ago.
The so-called Seal was actually already riddled with holes.
The light on the balcony seemed to dim by several degrees.
"Ido" was provoked.
With Ido’s appearance...
"Kurama."
Naruto calmly called out the Nine-Tailed’s name.
The newly emerged Ido was instantly suppressed by the Aura emitted by Kurama.
From "Ido’s" perspective, the world before its eyes suddenly changed.
The figure of the blonde youth still stood there, but behind him, space seemed to be infinitely stretched and distorted, revealing a phantom of a boundless crimson consciousness space filled with violent Chakra!
And in the deepest part of that consciousness space, a giant fox, large enough to blot out the sun and completely wreathed in orange-red Chakra flames, opened its blood-red vertical pupils!
Nine-Tailed · Kurama!
For something like "Ido," which essentially relied on the host’s negative emotions and Spiritual energy, the impact brought by this scene was no different from heaven and earth collapsing!
It was like a small demon that caused trouble in a remote countryside, occupying the body of a weak Onmyoji and thinking itself invincible and able to toy with people’s hearts at will, only to one day suddenly and without preparation face the world’s strongest, most legendary Grand Onmyoji with divine methods, and the great demon commanded by this Grand Onmyoji—a true peak of demons capable of shaking mountains and burning cities!
Kurama didn’t even need to make any attacking moves, or even fully reveal its malice.
Merely the Aura belonging to a Tailed Beast that it naturally emitted was like a ten-thousand-foot mountain crushing down, like a vast deep sea overwhelming everything!
Just the difference in size—like a mountain compared to an ant—was enough to prevent any thought of resistance from arising in "Ido’s" heart.
It was a fear and submission born from biological instinct toward a higher-level predator and absolute power!
The dark red fierce light in "Ido’s" pitch-black eyes was instantly extinguished, replaced by unhideable, deepest shock and fear!
The body of Yakumo Kurama it occupied began to tremble violently like a sieve. The cold, evil Chakra that had been spreading earlier was washed away by Kurama’s pure and violent Chakra, melting and dissipating like snow exposed to the scorching sun!
"Im... impossible... what... is this..."
Ido’s voice became intermittent, filled with a fearful tremor, no longer possessing its previous arrogance and madness.
It tried to shrink back into the depths of Yakumo Kurama’s body, tried to hide, but under the gaze of Kurama’s red vertical pupils that seemed able to pierce through all illusions, it felt it had nowhere to hide!
"No! Can we settle this peacefully?"
