On the second floor of Yoichi Pharmacy, both the walls and the floor are covered with the rune patterns of Yin-Yang Art.
There are sound isolation effects and energy barrier functions. If Uchiha Yoichi arranges it meticulously, he can completely turn this place into a second Pure Land.
When Yamanaka Ino arrived, Uchiha Yoichi had already activated the Yin-Yang Art patterns on the floor. Seeing these runes similar to Sealing Technique, she curiously asked, "Is this Yin-Yang Art?"
Uchiha Yoichi nodded slightly, his expression somewhat solemn as he said, "Yes, once the jutsu is activated and connected to the Pure Land, you'll be able to find the person you wish to see, Lady Ino. Only one step left..."
Yamanaka Ino, somewhat impatient, quickly asked, "What else?"
"Lady Ino's kiss!"
"You crafty guy..."
Ino's face immediately flushed red as she tightened her fist, but seeing Uchiha Yoichi's confident expression, she took a deep breath and then offered her rosy lips.
A few minutes later, Yamanaka Ino, with a flushed face, gasped and asked, "Is it done now, you bad guy!"
Gradually, Yamanaka Ino's sense of morality was being pushed back step by step, and when she was alone with Uchiha Yoichi, she subconsciously ignored Sai's existence and overlooked her identity as Sai's wife.
"It's done now, did you bring the items once used by the deceased?"
"I did, this is my father's ninja suit, it barely got touched since it was stored in the cabinet, is it okay?"
"Yes, it's completely fine, Lady Ino please wait on the side for a moment."
After finishing speaking, Uchiha Yoichi took the ninja suit handed over by Yamanaka Ino and began using Yin-Yang Art.
Searching for spirit bodies is nothing for Uchiha Yoichi. He attempted it in another world before, and during the search, he can even take the opportunity to capture and train the spirit bodies of three Kage-level powerhouses in the Ninja World and once again seize the Pure Land Gate.
The Pure Land contains a large amount of energy dissipated by the departed. It's not very good to let Otsutsuki Hagoromo, the ungrateful wolf, occupy it.
Swish!
Suddenly, the light and shadow within the room dimmed, the Yin-Yang Art patterns on the ground lit up, and with the help of the deceased's belongings, Uchiha Yoichi quickly searched in the Pure Land and found Yamanaka Haiichi.
At the center of Yin-Yang Art, a silhouette slowly appeared. When the face of the figure was fully formed, Uchiha Yoichi relaxed his hand gesture and spoke to Yamanaka Ino: "It's done, Lady Ino, the connection with your respected father is successfully established, you can now converse, but only for half an hour…"
In the Yin-Yang Art, Yamanaka Haiichi confusedly glanced around, and upon seeing Yamanaka Ino, he was shocked and said, "Ino? Is it you, Ino..."
"Then I'll head out first, Lady Ino!"
Knowing that the father and daughter would likely have many things to say next, Uchiha Yoichi proactively left the Alchemy Room and shut the door properly.
Upon exiting, Uchiha Yoichi opened the Superpower Ability Panel and checked it. After tomorrow night, a disaster is expected to occur in this world.
Thinking about this event makes Uchiha Yoichi a bit excited as he greatly anticipates what treasures this ability may bring him.
Hours later, Yamanaka Ino, with reddened eyes, came out and bowed to Uchiha Yoichi, saying, "Thank you for letting me see my father...."
"No problem at all, Lady Ino."
Supporting Yamanaka Ino up, Uchiha Yoichi smiled and said, "It's very easy for me. If you wish to see your father again in the future, feel free to come find me. Surely Father wishes to see his grandson as well."
"Um... then, then I'll bother you in the future~"
Yamanaka Ino, with reddened eyes feeling a bit embarrassed, nodded. Just now, when Yamanaka Haiichi heard she had a son, he also proposed wanting to see him, but there were only thirty minutes, making it difficult for Yamanaka Ijin to come.
Uchiha Yoichi shrugged and said, "No bother, as long as I like Lady Ino."
"You, you rascal~"
Yamanaka Ino felt a bit of shyness from his words, but thankfully this isn't happening in public. She asked Uchiha Yoichi to pipe down; moreover, to the romance-focused Ino, she somewhat enjoyed these sweet words.
Therefore, Yamanaka Ino turned her head bashfully and softly said, "Don't say such things outside...."
Uchiha Yoichi took advantage of the moment and hugged Yamanaka Ino saying, "Then Lady Ino has to come see me every two days!"
"That's too frequent!" Yamanaka Ino immediately shook her head and said, "No way, absolutely not, this will be found out by others and also...."
"Then let's make it three days."
"Three days is still too frequent....."
After a round of bargaining, it was finally decided that Yamanaka Ino would visit Uchiha Yoichi once a week, and as for what she would do there... an already experienced Lady Ino knew all too well, and her face turned as red as a ripe apple upon finishing this talk.
So much so that upon seeing her, Uchiha Yoichi couldn't resist giving her a couple of kisses, this lady is adorably irrational.
Suddenly, Yamanaka Ino asked, "By the way, Yoichi, can I request you to let others see their deceased loved ones too?"
"If they are friends of Lady Ino, then certainly there's no problem, but that small-mustache pineapple-head is an exception."
Uchiha Yoichi was specifically referring to Nara Shikamaru, expressing doubt about his identity, thus it's best not to offer him any promises.
"Shikamaru is also... Um~"
Yamanaka Ino wanted to speak good of her friend but was interrupted by a kiss before finishing the sentence.
After a while of kissing, Uchiha Yoichi finally released Yamanaka Ino.
With a red face and catching her breath, she glared at Uchiha Yoichi and said, "You idiot, what do you think about all day...."
Afterwards, Yamanaka Ino had further conversations with Uchiha Yoichi before leaving Yoichi Pharmacy.
"Ino?"
Just as she stepped out of the pharmacy, Yamanaka Ino bumped into her friend Sakura. Seeing Sakura's face full of suspicion, Ino instantly felt an ill premonition.
"Did you go to buy the secret medicine? It seems like you came down from the second floor..."
"No, Sakura, because of other things."
Ino quickly thought and came up with a good excuse, saying to Sakura, "I'm going to find Teacher Kurenai, you come with me, and I'll tell you what happened just now."
After saying this, Ino pretended to casually check herself. Her lips shouldn't be swollen, and her clothes weren't messed up, so it should be fine. Sakura shouldn't notice anything.
"What's the matter, we need to find Teacher Kurenai?"
"We'll talk when we get there, you'll know soon enough."
Yamanaka Ino linked arms with Sakura, then headed toward Yuhi Kurenai's house. On the way, she asked Sakura what Naruto and Shikamaru said after she left.
After Sakura told Ino, she asked the question in her heart: "Ino, your relationship with that Boss Yoichi seems to have eased?"
Yamanaka Ino relaxed and explained, "Well, sort of. He opened an Izakaya next to the pharmacy. It's quite peaceful. When I went drinking there not long ago, I ran into him."
"What? You've started drinking?"
"Blame that guy Sai! He got me upset!"
Yamanaka Ino snorted coldly and said, "Sakura, even if I ask you to pretend, that bastard Sai didn't ask and said such excessive things. This time, I definitely won't forgive him easily..."
"Hahaha... That guy is just like that, Ino."
Sakura awkwardly laughed and tried to comfort her. Sai still hadn't learned how to talk properly. Though he'd learned to speak in reverse for a while, he reverted. In the beginning, anyone would want to punch Sai because of his mouth.
After the two arrived at Yuhi Kurenai's house, Yamanaka Ino began to recount her experience just now.
Yuhi Kurenai and Sakura were shocked by Yamanaka Ino's words, but still trusted her; she wouldn't use such words to deceive them.
"To be able to see departed people..."
Yuhi Kurenai's heart, calm for so long, was a bit stirred. She understood what Yamanaka Ino's visit meant, and she wanted to see Asuma too.
Though it had been more than ten years, hearing this news suddenly made Yuhi Kurenai realize she hadn't let go; Asuma had died so abruptly back then.
Upon hearing this news, Sakura had some thoughts too, though both her parents were alive; she thought of her husband, Sasuke.
Sakura knew a bit about the Uchiha Race's matters. She thought Sasuke might want to see his family. This method was better than the Reanimation Jutsu, as it didn't require sacrifices, just alleviated longing for deceased loved ones.
Considering for a moment, Sakura asked, "Ino, didn't that guy ask for anything in return? I remember him being quite money-hungry..."
'Of course, he did...'
Yamanaka Ino couldn't say this, so she found an excuse: "Sakura, you misunderstand him. Once you know him better, he's quite easy to talk to."
"Really...."
Upon hearing this, Sakura felt a bit skeptical, but she didn't pursue it further. Instead, she said, "If this really works, I want to ask Sasuke when I get back, see if he has the thought..."
Yamanaka Ino asked, "What about Teacher Kurenai?"
"As for me..."
Yuhi Kurenai thought for a moment, then said to Yamanaka Ino, "If it's possible, please ask for me, Ino."
"Okay, I'll ask Boss Yoichi either tomorrow or the day after."
Yamanaka Ino said, though she could agree immediately, to prevent Sakura and others from suspecting, she decided to wait a few days.
————————————
Deep night, seconds away from midnight.
Across the vast sea, a mirage appeared, stretching endlessly to the horizon, with the monster inside towering several thousand meters high, completely dwarfing the tallest peaks in the Ninja World!
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
A series of earth-shaking rumbles shook the heavens and earth, and the space above the sea suddenly warped, transforming the mirage into reality.
"Run! Start the ship quickly or we're all dead! Move!"
"Captain, the sky suddenly went dark?"
"You fool, forget about the sky, the Sea Kings behind us are catching up, just steer the ship!!"
The captain, with three scars on his face, screamed desperately, clutching a locked box in his arms, his legs trembling, nearly wetting himself from fear.
What was supposed to be a simple robbery of a merchant ship suddenly led to an encounter with a colossal ancient Sea King, one so massive its body couldn't be fully seen.
Suddenly, a voice with a tragic tone sounded from the ship: "Captain, the navigator fainted from fear!"
"Damn..."
The scar-faced captain, just reaching out, cursed in anger, seeing a tsunami hundreds of meters high rise before him.
Boom!
As the enormous creature merely shifted its body slightly, it raised a monstrous wave that overturned the pirate ship, which measured dozens of meters long.
