100: The Crimson of Youth, The Mission to Win Over Tsunade Begins

After a brief silence, Kakashi looked towards Night Star, his tone icy cold.

"Rin is already dead. By summoning her in this way, you've crossed the forbidden boundary!"

Night Star pointed to Might Guy lying on the bed and chuckled lightly.

"Then the Eight Gates that Guy used, just like the Impure World Reincarnation, are forbidden techniques. What's the difference?"

Kakashi's brow furrowed tightly, his already cold, iceberg-like face now revealing a hint of anger.

"Is it the same? Your move was explicitly prohibited by the First Hokage, it's a forbidden technique that disrupts human ethics!"

Night Star shrugged, indifferent.

"If you want to see your father, Sakumo Hatake, I can help summon him too, how about that?"

"You..."

Seeing the usually cold and detached Kakashi genuinely angered this time, Might Guy quickly intervened to smooth things over.

"Kakashi, I don't know what technique Night Star used to provoke such a reaction from you, but whether it's against human ethics, shouldn't we ask the person involved, that is, Rin's opinion?"

Hearing the usually nonsensical Might Guy suddenly speak so sensibly, everyone was somewhat surprised.

Rin Nohara forced a faint smile and said softly,

"Actually... I'm already very satisfied to be able to come back and see everyone. Even if Night Star used a so-called forbidden technique, using it in this way isn't as serious as Kakashi makes it out to be."

Seeing that Rin Nohara wasn't pursuing the matter, Kakashi helplessly sighed and didn't press further.

Next, it was time for casual chat, much like a class reunion.

About four years had passed since Rin Nohara's death, and many changes had occurred in the Hidden Leaf Village.

Such as the Nine-Tails' rampage, Asuma being selected as one of the Twelve Guardian Ninja, and the village's wars with the Hidden Mist and Hidden Cloud.

"So much has happened in the days I've been gone."

Rin Nohara murmured, then looked up at Kurenai and Yugao, smiling sweetly.

"Kurenai, Yugao, you've both grown up."

Rin Nohara, having been reincarnated through the Impure World Reincarnation, naturally remained at the age of thirteen.

Kurenai and Yugao were already seventeen, making the comparison between them seem like the difference between a girl and a woman.

"By the way, Rin, there's a new dessert shop in the village that's really delicious. Let's go try it together, and we can chat along the way."

Faced with Kurenai and Yugao's enthusiastic invitation, Rin Nohara was clearly tempted.

Although she couldn't taste the food, being able to gather with friends and enjoy the moments of the past would surely bring her great joy.

However,

Rin Nohara's gaze, filled with inquiry, turned towards Night Star.

Night Star waved his hand, indifferent, and laughed.

"Go if you want, why look at me? Go on, go."

Rin Nohara, with a blush on her face, nodded slightly and said softly,

"Okay, I'll be home before dinner."

Hearing the two speak so intimately, like a married couple, Kurenai and Yugao couldn't help but feel a bit jealous.

They composed themselves and left the ward, chatting and laughing with Rin Nohara.

Following that, Kakashi looked up at Night Star, his expression very complex, and finally just said softly,

"Bringing back the dead, as the person involved, Rin, and Kurenai and Yugao, might find temporary solace, but Rin will eventually have to return to the Pure Land. When that time comes, everyone will only have to endure the pain of losing her again. What's the point of that?"

"Perhaps."

Seeing Night Star still noncommittal, Kakashi helplessly shook his head and turned to leave the room.

After he left, Night Star looked towards Might Guy lying on the bed, his smile gradually fading, and asked indifferently,

"So, what's really going on with your body?"

Hearing this, Might Guy's hearty smile stiffened, and he evaded the question,

"Nothing... nothing much, just need a few more months of rest."

"Do you think you can hide it from me?"

Night Star walked to Might Guy's bedside, looking directly into his eyes.

"If it were just exhaustion from overexertion, you wouldn't have stayed in the hospital for three days before demanding to be discharged. It's been several months now, it's definitely not that simple, right?"

Might Guy opened his mouth, then helplessly sighed, nodding with a heavy expression.

"Just as you said, I actually..."

At that moment, the door to the ward was pushed open, and with the sound of high heels clicking on the floor, Tsunade strode in.

When she saw Night Star also in the room, she couldn't help but pause slightly.

Then, Tsunade looked towards Might Guy, seemingly hesitant to speak.

Might Guy forced a bitter smile and waved his hand,

"Lady Tsunade, just say it directly, Night Star has already guessed."

With Might Guy's consent, Tsunade nodded.

"Since that's the case, I'll be straightforward."

After all, Tsunade was a medical ninja, equivalent to a doctor in the ninja world.

Basic principles like doctor-patient confidentiality were something she would never violate.

"Might Guy, you can no longer continue to be a ninja."

Hearing Tsunade's words, Might Guy didn't show any difficulty accepting it, as if he had already anticipated this outcome, a look of desolation in his eyes.

"So it's like this..."

"You forcibly opened the Sixth Gate of the Eight Gates, and your body simply couldn't withstand such immense power. Not only are multiple muscles torn, but your bones and meridians have also suffered irreparable damage. Forget being a ninja, whether you'll be able to walk in the future is another matter."

At this point, Tsunade couldn't help but sigh, stepping forward to pat Might Guy's shoulder in comfort.

"Well, there are other ways to live besides being a ninja."

As a medical ninja, and considering Might Guy was only seventeen yet capable of killing that genius, Kisame Hoshigaki, Tsunade naturally wanted to heal his injuries and save the future of this taijutsu genius.

But, it was truly beyond her capabilities.

With Tsunade's expertise in medical ninjutsu, even if Guy's external injuries were severe, she could find a way to heal them.

But the internal hidden injuries were beyond her ability to repair.

Just then, a prompt sounded in Night Star is mind.

[Ding! Task triggered.]

[Objective: Heal all of Might Guy's injuries and record the process in the diary.]

[Reward: Significant increase in taijutsu talent, Might Guy's favorability maxed out.]

Before Night Star could react, another prompt sounded.

[Ding! Task triggered.]

[Objective: Romance Tsunade and record the process in the diary.]

[Reward: Significant increase in medical ninjutsu talent.]

Two tasks triggered in a row?

This was a first for Night Star, who couldn't help but record in the diary,

[Just as well, I came to the hospital today intending to try and heal Might Guy's body.]

[You should know, he's the man who, with a mortal body, nearly kicked his way to the series finale.]

[If youth had a color, it would surely be the deep red of burning to the extreme.]

Seeing this update, Mei Terumi, Yugito Nii, Mabui, and other kunoichi from outside the village were shocked.

The Hidden Leaf Village still has such a master?

They didn't understand what a series finale was, but it sounded like...

Might Guy's strength was evidently terrifying!

Immediately after, a new passage appeared in the diary.

[As for the second objective...]

[Tonight, I'll ask Tsunade out for a drink.]
