Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Sealing Formula, Orochimaru's Ambition
"So you're saying, Captain Mirai, that you actually have a way..."
"Of course."
"That's great!"
Murakumo Kurama's heart suddenly lifted from the depths of despair. He grabbed Mirai Uchiha's hands excitedly: "Captain Mirai, as long as you can cure Yakumo, the Kurama Clan will follow your lead from now on!"
Hearing this promise, Mirai Uchiha nodded satisfactorily.
Earlier he had exaggerated the severity of the bloodline disease precisely to achieve this effect.
First letting the other party fall into despair before giving them hope—this was the only way to ensure deep gratitude and appreciation.
Even Yakumo Kurama was smiling happily at this moment.
She would give everything to become a ninja.
"Leader Murakumo, curing Yakumo's Bloodline Disease will take some preparation time. Therefore, I first need to seal her power using a Sealing Technique."
"But the Sealing Formula must be inscribed directly onto Yakumo's body..."
After hearing Mirai's words, Murakumo Kurama didn't hesitate at all and immediately nodded: "A patient shouldn't refuse treatment. Then we'll trouble you, Captain Mirai."
"Yakumo's villa is just ahead—I'll lead you all inside."
Looking at the glance from Mirai, Shizuka Yuhi, Yakumo's father, lightly huffed with displeasure: "Brat, I won't interfere with whatever you young people do."
"But don't worry, I won't tell Kurenai anything about this."
Seeing Shizuka Yuhi being so understanding, Mirai inwardly gave him a silent thumbs-up.
For his future father-in-law to say that, Mirai couldn't help but feel proud and nearly shouted: Who else could get him to agree?!
Under Murakumo Kurama's guidance, the group soon reached an elegant and spacious room.
Though the Kurama Clan had fallen on hard times, their foundation remained solid.
Their wealth was far beyond comparison with ordinary small ninja clans.
Once everything was ready, Murakumo Kurama led the others out and left.
Now only Mirai Uchiha and Yakumo Kurama were left alone in the room.
"Yakumo, shall we begin?"
Upon hearing this, Yakumo Kurama shyly nodded.
She closed her eyes and silently completed the preparations necessary before inscribing the sealing formula.
"Captain Mirai, we can start now."
"Alright."
Mirai carefully inscribed the Sealing Formula onto Yakumo's body, completely sealing away her power.
The entire process went flawlessly.
Once everything was finished, Yakumo lowered her head, too shy to look at Mirai.
Her previously fair skin turned bright red.
"Yakumo, rest well for now. Don't think about those unnecessary things."
"Once I've prepared myself, I'll help you begin your treatment."
Mirai Uchiha gently patted Yakumo Kurama's head and softly said, "Don't worry. I promise to help you become a great Ninja."
"That's my Ninja Way — keep my word."
After hearing Mirai Uchiha's words, Yakumo Kurama's eyes sparkled with color.
For some reason, she, who had always lived under intense pressure since childhood, now felt a sense of security in her heart.
In that instant, Yakumo felt as if a seed had taken root and sprouted within her heart.
This never-before-felt sensation filled her with an urgent desire to learn everything about the man standing before her.
Seeing Yakumo's expression, Mirai couldn't help but feel somewhat emotional.
No wonder these are the kind of words spoken by a true 'Persuasive Prince' — their effects are truly extraordinary.
With this, Yakumo probably wouldn't fall into mental corruption like in the original arc and end up killing her own parents.

After leaving the Kurama clan compound, Mirai immediately activated the Flying Thunder God Technique and arrived at a dense forest far away from Hidden Leaf Village.
Pulling a Ninjutsu Scroll from his robe, Mirai bit his finger and drew a line across its surface.
[Summoning Jutsu!]
Puff!
Accompanied by an overwhelming cloud of smoke, Manda's gigantic body suddenly appeared before Mirai.
"You bastard! Do you know this is my nap time?"
"Orochimaru, if you can't offer satisfactory sacrifices for me..."
Wait! Seeing the Mangekyō Sharingan in front of him, Manda shut up his scolding mouth.
"Manda, I've got something for you to do."
"What is it?"
"Take this Intelligence Scroll to Orochimaru and have him bring the proper materials to Konoha to find me."
Damn brat! Daring to use me as a messenger! What do you take me for!
After mentally roaring a few times, Manda placed his head on the ground and spoke in a deep voice, "Put the items in my mouth. I'll notify Orochimaru as soon as possible."
The terrifying ocular power dissipated as Mirai smiled and rubbed Manda's chin, "Thanks for your help."
The moment he placed the scroll into Manda's mouth, Manda immediately transformed into a puff of smoke and vanished.
After finishing everything, Mirai clapped his hands together.
Actually, he didn't have any particularly good methods for treating Yakumo's bloodline disease.
At this stage, all he could do was have Orochimaru implant Hashirama's cells into Yakumo's body.
Although implanting Hashirama's cells was extremely dangerous, with the power of this pair of Mangekyō Sharingan suppressing them, he could manage the risk. As long as he regularly infused Yakumo with ocular power, there shouldn't be too many problems.
Once he mastered the Six Paths Yin-Yang Release [Six Paths Yin-Yang Release], he could use the Yang Release [Yang Release technique] to completely cure Yakumo Kurama.
———
Land of Fields.
Inside a secret underground cave, Orochimaru suddenly felt a tremor.
Stepping quickly to a mountain stream far from the cave, Orochimaru slammed both hands onto the ground. "Summoning jutsu!"
Poof!
Looking at Manda's massive form, Orochimaru asked curiously, "Manda, did you come here for something?"
Manda smacked his tail heavily on the ground. "This is an intelligence scroll that kid Mirai Uchiha had me deliver to you."
"He said you should gather your supplies and go find him in Konoha. Just take a look yourself."
Picking up the intelligence scroll spat out by Manda, Orochimaru couldn't help but speak, "How unusual, you actually agreed to do something like this..."
Upon hearing that, Manda roared furiously, "All because of you! Why did you give my summoning scroll to that brat?"
"He's dangerous—you understand that, right?"
"Orochimaru, I advise you to stay away from that kid from now on, or you'll eventually suffer for it."
Orochimaru smirked dismissively, replying with his raspy voice, "Our relationship with Mirai is nothing more than mutual exploitation."
"He needs me to handle certain matters, and I also need him to handle others."
"Besides… Mirai carries many secrets within him. Especially those Mangekyo Sharingan—they truly are enviable."
Looking at the increasingly unhinged Orochimaru, Manda spoke gravely, "You're even daring to plot against that boy?"
"Are you looking for death?"
"My instincts tell me that guy is infinitely more dangerous than you."
Orochimaru kept licking his lips with his tongue. "With enough patience, everyone will eventually have a weakness."
"After all… a venomous snake doesn't need strength equal to its prey. It only needs one bite to end the fight."
