Yugao's warped mind had naturally been corrupted.
But.
Corruption can be positive or negative.
Naruto considered himself the protagonist, good, on the side of justice.
Thus, Yugao's situation could be described as... "virtuous fall."
"Yugao-neechan, in the future, I'll help you improve your strength even more..."
Naruto made an even bolder announcement.
Yugao smiled brightly, finding Naruto incredibly kind: "Thank you so much, Naruto..."
She thought that relying on his help to grow stronger would be useful in her career.
Perhaps soon, she could compete with Tenzo.
A member of the same ANBU team, similar in age to Tenzo, but the latter was a true expert. Yugao couldn't help but feel a bit of envy and competitive spirit.
"Cough... What did you do to me..."
At that moment, the back door opened again.
Hyuga Aoba stumbled out.
She had examined her body with her Byakugan, but found no trace of poison.
The only thing she observed was that her stamina and chakra had become more powerful.
In short, she had become purer and stronger... without any corruption.
"Nothing special, just sharing my life force through 'Yang Release'..."
Naruto made no effort to hide the truth.
There were plenty of people who mastered Yang Release, so why not him, Uzumaki Naruto? Was someone going to dissect him for it?
"Mmh..."
Hyuga Aoba was stunned.
Then she realized how absurd it was, because no one shared Yang Release via... milk.
"Watch your tone."
Naruto's voice suddenly turned icy.
"From now on, your eyes will be my eyes!"
The Hyuga's Byakugan had strategic importance that would allow him to scrutinize every corner of
Konoha!
Fwoosh!
Naruto moved like a flash and disappeared. Before Aoba could react, he grabbed her chin.
Dragged to her knees, she let out a moan of pain: "Ouch~"
She felt like her jaw was going to break.
Naruto stared at her face, their gazes crossing.
A piercing red glow met the white eyes.
Yang Release, really?
Yang Release was far from simple…
He had indeed lied.
"Come, I'll show you something interesting..."
Naruto dragged Aoba inside.
Once the back door closed, they found themselves in the bathroom.
Because the faucet was left open earlier, the floor was soaked.
"Come on."
Naruto stopped, still holding her chin.
The pretty maid desperately clutched the walls to steady herself.
The Yang Release-infused "milk" had penetrated her body, causing a change…
She had drunk it once at the Hyuga compound in the morning, then a second time earlier.
Twice.
What did that mean?
Naruto raised his hand, forcing Aoba to stand up.
Before she could straighten up, he extended his right hand.
Upon contact, he formed a one-handed seal, then immediately withdrew it.
"..."
Aoba remained stunned.
She didn't understand what was happening.
Then her chakra responded to Naruto's seal.
Ssssh~!
Sssshhh~!
"Aaaahhh~!"
Her body arched violently.
Naruto was replicating the technique Kurenai had used with Orochimaru... the "Twin Snakes Mutual Death".
The same one he had used on Yugao.
But this time, on Hyuga Aoba.
The triggered technique forced the pretty maid to release a Water Release jutsu.
"Hehe..."
Seeing her collapse against the bathroom wall before sliding to the floor, Naruto burst out laughing.
"You made a beautiful sound~."
Her moans resonated like a melody in his ears.
"Haa... haa..."
Lying on her side, Aoba rolled her white eyes.
Quickly, tears flowed again.
...
...
Four hours later…
"The Uchiha shinobi... have changed guard..."
Hyuga Aoba, kneeling, blindfolded, reported with a trembling voice what she observed.
Naruto, sitting by the window, compared what he saw with her descriptions.
Beside them, Yugao stood like a guardian.
— More like Naruto's subordinate, Aoba thought.
Despite her discomfort, she no longer dared to speak out of turn.
Following orders, she had become his "eyes."
"Perfect~."
Naruto watched the sun set with satisfaction.
After four hours of collaboration, their team of three was working wonderfully.
"Eyes to observe, a hand to act..."
Aoba monitored everything he wanted to see.
Yugao executed his orders without hesitation.
"Like this, everything is settled..."
Whether it was the Yoma incident, the Uchiha clan, or even all of Konoha... everything would be under his control.
Even if the story continued to diverge, he could adapt without worry.
