Doctor Shin

While Shin was making his way towards Itachi, something else was happening at Kiri.

Yagura was lying down on the sofa like a thrown away rag, his entire body was falling apart, being in a genjutsu for so long had almost killed him completely.

This was all his remaining willpower and tenacity as a jinchuriki.

" Is it that bad? "

Asked Mei, a little down, the inauguration ceremony was over, the truth was revealed before the Mist.

Kasamaro has become the Fifth Mizukage, Mei and Zabuza became his advisors.

Yagura was supposed to become a hermit until he is required for battle but his body seems to be falling apart.

" Uhh.. "

Only a groan came out as a reply, causing Mei to sigh even more.

Yagura was a tenacious man, but pure tenacity only gets you so far.

Zabuza didn't seem to care much as he was sitting with his legs on top of each other and hands behind his head.

" If you can't get a grip on yourself, you can't even leave a descendant like you wished, your line will end with you. "

Mei glared at Zabuza, was this the time to say such things?! This man has no courtesy at all!

But then she saw Yagura's eyes snapping open, as he struggled to get up, in a hoarse voice he said

" Give up... Never..! "

Kasamaro and Zabuza were nodding proudly at Yagura's determination, while Mei was giving them all a dry look.

" Really? All it took was mentioning that and you are good to go.. You know what, I kind of understand. "

She then put her hands on her heart and gave a wide smile.

" I am sure I'll also be full of energy if it's my husband who wants to spend time with me."

Kasamaro just twitched his eyes, this lady, no restrains, especially after thinking about marriage.

Without caring about Mei's antics, Kasamaro was wondering how to bring Yagura to Shin now.

He was in a terrible condition, if Yagura needs to fight for him before they find Six tails jinchuriki, he needs to at least be able to move.

" Yagura san.. I have a technique, it can bring you back at top shape.. "

Yagura turned his eyes towards Kasamaro, only eyes because he can't move his head, Mei smiled widely again while Zabuza frowned.

He was the only one who quickly caught on to a fact.

" But there's a catch isn't it? "

Kasamaro nodded after which Mei and Yagura also calmed down.

" Yes, it consumes my own vitality to charge others. Only reason I can think of using it, is because I have awakened shikotsumyaku. "

Popping a bone out and taking it back in, Kasamaro showed his immense healing abilities for reference.

" But even I can only do it once or twice, I do it more and even I can't hold on, you might not know, shikotsumyaku is poisonous, It's slowly killing me. "

Mei's eyes widened and so did Yagura's, only Zabuza smirked, like a transformation jutsu can poison someone.

" The only reason I am alive is because my shikotsumyaku heals me from my own powers, it's a delicate balance. "

Yagura closed his eyes, it was a tough choice, it was either his life at the cost of Kasamaro's lifespan, or leaving Kasamaro alone but him dying.

But he didn't think for long.

" No. "

Said Yagura with a smile, he had now fully understood, he cannot be that selfish, he had his pride as a man as well.

Mei was silently wiping her eyes and Zabuza looked proud, but Kasamaro wasn't.

' Dude, say yes, I need you to fight for me.. '

As for the lifespan thing, that's nonsense, he'll use king of hell.

" While that makes me happy, it's alright, like I said, I can do it once or twice, I'll only use it once on you, I am not losing a perfect jinchuriki, Mist is already weak enough. "

Yagura's face took on an emotional look at Kasamaro's words, having read between the lines, Mei had a complexity of emotions on her face, as she too saw how Kasamaro put forth the idea of helping Yagura.

Only Zabuza was confused, Shin's not that open minded?

" Alright, here goes nothing, summoning jutsu, Asura skull! "

Overlapping the king of hell with a bone skull, he summoned it out.

A large bone skull with angry looking eye sockets drilled out of the floor as it opened it's mouth and before Yagura's rolling throat and shaking eyes, it ate him in one bite.

" Is that a healing jutsu? You Kaguya clan members, why you have to make everything look so scary. "

Said Mei as she was feeling goosebumps because of the presence of the king of hell within the skull.

Mei's and Zabuza's mouths twitched when the skull began chewing.

" Is that supposed to happen?? "

Asked Mei a little concerned, Yagura can't stand much right now, he might kick the bucket immediately like this.

But Kasamaro waved his hand to tell them to not worry.

And true to his words, within a few more seconds the giant skull spit out Yagura who instead of rolling over without a care, now managed to quickly balance himself using one finger, showing incredible vigor in his eyes.

" This is marvelous, I feel like I am young again, the prime of my life! "

Kasamaro nodded, of course, that's because you are, but he wasn't going to talk about that.

It was time to convince him to go fight for him, Main body Shin was almost at the clan land.
