The Hokage, having traveled here, of course he'd unify the ninja world!

Chapter 208 Spiritual Essence

Senyou was very clear about what was inside Kurama Yakumo's body, and at this moment he simply frowned and reminded her:

"Ha, if you stop your daughter again, you and your wife will both be killed."

"If you don't want Yakumo to become an orphan, you should go find Orochimaru sooner rather than later."

Kurama Murakumo's face turned pale instantly upon hearing Senyo's words, and countless questions raced through his mind in that instant.

"Why……"

Qianyao simply bought the candied hawthorns and headed towards the clothing store, completely ignoring Kurama Murakumo.

For Qianyao, any talented child is his target.

But whether these children's parents are dead or alive is not important; he had just reminded Kurama Murakumo of that.

If Kurama Murakumo doesn't believe it, then he's a man who deserves to die.

Kurama Congyun's expression changed. The words of a great figure like Qianyao naturally carried more weight than those of an ordinary person.

He looked at Yakumo Kurama, who had also been frightened and now looked quite bewildered.

Suddenly, a guess vaguely formed in Kurama Murakumo's mind.

He quickly carried Kurama Yakumo to Chiyo's side:

"Elder Qianyao, did you see something?"

Chiyo stared at Yakumo intently for a few moments: "It's developing."

“If you continue to pressure Yakumo, the incubation time will be accelerated.”

What Qianyao said seemed nonsensical to others, but to Kurama Murakumo, it sent a shiver down his spine.

Because among the geniuses of the Kurama clan, some will develop something special due to their strong mental power.

However, not everyone can control it well, and it can easily lead to disaster if one is not careful.

Given Yakumo's current age, it's unlikely he can control it anymore.

Therefore, everything Qianyao just said is true.

Kurama Congyun had no other choice; this was a matter of life and death, so he could only say:

"Elder Qianyao, could you please introduce me to Lord Orochimaru?"

Qianyao nodded and said, "Orochimaru is busy right now. Come to our clan's territory at nine o'clock tonight."

Kurama Murakumo sighed, feeling uncertain about the future and unsure whether this was good or bad for Yakumo.

"Thank you, Elder Qianyao. I will be there on time."

"That's great! Thank you, Elder Qianyao!" Yakumo, having recovered, quickly thanked Qianyao.

Qianyao waved his hand and walked into the clothing store, as if it were a trivial matter to him.

Yakumo Kurama is quite capable, and if her problem can be resolved, she will be of great use in the future.

However, there is a difference between helping voluntarily and having someone come to you asking for help.

……

Chiyo, carrying candied hawthorns and haystacks, entered the shop and saw Gaara had already chosen his clothes and was coming out carrying several bags.

"Take it and eat it yourself."

Chiyo pulled out a string of candied hawthorns and stuffed it into Gaara's hand.

Gaara accepted it and whispered a thank you.

Gaara now still has a round head and is much cuter than he was during his genin days.

"Has Shukaku been disturbing your sleep lately?" Qianyao asked casually.

This is the most important thing for Gaara.

The sealing power of the Four Symbols Seal goes without saying; Gaara shook his head.

"I haven't heard his voice since I came here."

"Will he never be able to bother me again?"

Chiyo had already made arrangements for Gaara, and upon hearing this, he said to him, "If you don't want to, you won't hear it."

Gaara looked much better after he was able to sleep, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes upon hearing this.

Then he stammered, "Lord Qianyao... I..."

"Ok?"

When Chiyo turned his head, Gaara hesitated for a long time but couldn't say anything.

"Hehehe, no rush, we'll talk about it later when we've thought it through."

Chiyo didn't try to guess, but simply comforted Gaara with a word.

"Master! We've finished buying!"

Before Gaara could speak, Karin's voice rang out.

Several children came out together, carrying many bags and packages.

On the way back after dropping Kimimaro and Haku off, Chiyo had already bought some clothes.

However, in those rural areas, there aren't many options available.

Now there are many more things to choose from in Konoha Village, and the two of them looked at Chiyo with delight.

This was the first time Ying had bought so many nice clothes since joining the Uchiha clan, and the gloom on her face had dissipated considerably.

Sasuke also took some things from his pocket.

"Go home now that you've bought yours." Seeing that everyone was quite happy, Qianyao handed out a string of candied hawthorns to each of them.

The remaining haystacks were handed to Kimimaro: "Take these and distribute them to those in your tribe who want some."

Kimimaro nodded and hoisted it onto his shoulder.

"Master..." Karin winked at Chiyo and reached out her hand coquettishly.

Chiyo laughed and took the bag from Karin's hand with one hand, then put Karin on his shoulder with the other.

Surprisingly, Karin has become more and more lively now that she's been with the Uchiha clan for a while.

It seems that not having experienced being used as a human blood bag during her childhood has made Karin much healthier, both physically and mentally.

"Rin, go pay the bill."

He called out because he was busy, and Rin, who was waiting nearby, immediately went to pay the bill.

Qianyao led a group of children, walking home in a grand procession.

At this moment, Karin shrank down and whispered something in Chiyo's ear, and also secretly glanced at Haku.

Qianyao said in a low voice, "Clothing style is a matter of personal freedom, it has nothing to do with gender, and it is not important."

Karin rolled her eyes and asked doubtfully, "Isn't it important?"

Chiyo patted Karin:

"It's up to you to decide what kind of life you want to live."

“You didn’t have a choice in your life before, so you were not happy at all.”

"Now that you have a choice, you should listen to the voice deep within your heart."

Karin nodded thoughtfully, a smile spreading across her face: "I understand, Master."

……

Night fell.

After Qianyao arranged the study and training content for Karin, Sasuke, and the others, it was almost nine o'clock.

"Chief, Anma Congyun has arrived with his daughter."

Before long, Rin came to report to Chiyo.

Qianyao checked the time and it was indeed punctual.

"Go and take them to the hospital. Orochimaru should go to the hospital too."

"Yes!"

Only then did Qianyao calmly walk towards the hospital.

When he arrived, the Kurama father and daughter were already waiting for him at the hospital.

"Elder Qianyao."

Chiyo waved his hand to indicate that he should wait a moment, and soon Orochimaru also came over from the laboratory.

"Orochimaru, come and see this child. She's from the Kurama family."

"Tsunade couldn't find anything wrong with her body. Can you take a look?"

Knowing that Orochimaru disliked formalities, Chiyo went straight to the point.

Orochimaru showed an interested expression, without even glancing at Kurama Murakumo.

They came directly to Kurama Yakumo.

Kurama Yakumo seemed to have been indoctrinated with something, and although her eyes were filled with fear when she looked at Orochimaru, she didn't utter a single word.

Orochimaru didn't take Yakumo for a medical examination; he simply formed a few hand seals and placed his hand on Yakumo's head.

Soon, a look of surprise appeared on his face: "Spiritual Essence!?"
