The brand glowed slightly with a gray light, flashing several times like a signal light. The rapidly dissipating chakra in the body stopped instantly. After a few breaths, it returned to stability.
The power of time retrieval blessed the whole body, and the side effects of the Liangyi seal were forcibly stagnated and eliminated. The state of the physical body has returned to what it was half a minute ago, that is...
There is no time to start yet.
Uzumaki Makoto exhaled slowly, feeling the state of his body for a moment. After confirming that it had stabilized, he couldn't help but turn the right wrist that had the brand on it back and forth.
His eyes focused on the gradually dimming brand pattern.
"Is this your power? Lei Luo..."
As he murmured to himself, Uzumaki Makoto's eyes were a little dazed for a moment. It was the first time he experienced the reverse flow personally, and it was also the first time he put his life on the line and chose to believe in the power of his companions.
Such a novel feeling, such a weird behavior, such an indescribable excitement, made Uzumaki Makoto feel a little melancholy, and at the same time, accompanied by a little doubt?
Why was I so decisive just now...
Released, the Liangyi seal?
"Ahem..."
Coughs sounded one after another, interrupting his thoughts. Uzumaki Makoto hurriedly looked back and saw Obito crawling out of the wall with a face full of pain, falling to the ground, twitching all over.
"Obito, how are you?"
Arriving in front of Obito and squatting down, Uzumaki Makoto first glanced left and right at the ends of the corridors on both sides, then closed his eyes and sensed the movement nearby for a moment. He found that no one was paying attention to the situation here, so he calmed down and stretched out his palm.
Cover Obito's back and activate the branding again.
But this time, things were a bit unexpected. Uzumaki Makoto looked at Obito who had not changed, frowned slightly, and soon realized that the branding was countercurrent and only had an effect on himself.
"Senior Cheng...I, I won't die, right?"
Obito reluctantly raised his head, his face was pale, and he made intermittent sounds. From his tone and expression, Uzumaki Makoto sensed the fear in the other person's heart.
'The left arm was fractured at a 90-degree angle, and the sternum, ribs, and clavicle were also dislocated. Looking at the amount of blood loss, 80% of the injuries were to internal organs.'
The medical knowledge he had learned flooded into his mind, and Uzumaki Makoto stretched out his hands again and again. Touching this and that, he quickly understood Obito's condition, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't worry, you won't die."
After uttering a faint sentence, Uzumaki Makoto once again used Kagura's Heart Eye to sense the nearby situation, and found that the cloud ninjas were still entangled with the second tail and Kakashi Kakashi, and the violent chakra fluctuations almost turned into a mess.
So, he calmed down, carried Obito on his shoulders, and walked straight into the database. Looking around the room, he saw that the place was full of bookshelves and countless scrolls were placed among them, so he simply made a seal with one hand.
"The art of shadow clone."
The white smoke exploded, and five clones were separated to search for information scrolls on the surrounding bookshelves. Uzumaki Makoto calmly put Obito on the ground, and then used medical ninjutsu to start treating the opponent.
Although Uzumaki Makoto is not a professional medical ninja, he is still a high-ranking official in the Land of Fire and the leader of the Great Ninja Clan. Now he has lived to be over fifty years old, so it is normal for him to dabble in many ninjutsu.
Although medical ninjutsu cannot be compared with Tsunade, it is enough to treat Obito at this moment. After a set of procedures to stop bleeding and set bones, Obito screamed like a ghost, but his life was temporarily saved.
"Okay, it's almost done."
A few minutes later, Uzumaki Makoto patted Obito on the shoulder and saw that although the other person's face was extremely ugly, he still stood up tremblingly. He couldn't help but smile with satisfaction and licked his lips at the piles of bookshelves next to him.
"Start searching, Obito, don't worry about what's forbidden or not, just take whatever you can."
Seeing Uzumaki Makoto turn around and get busy with the shadow clones, Obito opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed and stepped forward.
He accidentally pulled the wound and let out a hiss.
"Senior Cheng, is that guy dead?"
Bending down, using his divine power through contact with his palms, he absorbed the piles of information scrolls on the ground. He glanced at the dark door with his peripheral vision. Obito couldn't help but shudder and asked in fear.
"Dead, dead can no longer die."
Opening the scroll in his hand, which happened to record the contents of the Forbidden Sky Technique, Uzumaki Makoto curled up the corner of his mouth, showing a sincere smile, and quickly read through it in front of his eyes, remembering some key information in his heart.
Then, he held it in his arms and answered casually.
"That old man is quite strong. In my opinion, he has to have a shadow-level strength. You have too little experience and are not yet proficient in using your abilities. It is normal that you cannot beat him."
"Besides, that old man should also have a blood successor. His skin turned purple-black and he was invulnerable. This should be Steel Release. Yunyin sent him to guard the database. It was a good idea."
"Under the narrow terrain, the opponent has a blood successor with strong melee capabilities, strong physical skills, and rich combat experience. The combat power that can be exerted is indeed considerable."
Listening thoughtfully to Uzumaki Makoto's analysis, Obito was about to continue absorbing the scroll, but his eyes suddenly hurt, and a large amount of blood immediately spilled out, and the consciousness in his brain was also vaguely trance-like.
"No, Senior Cheng!"
"Yukito has woken up and is now working with Erwei to break the illusion I cast on them! I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for long!"
Obito's tone was extremely anxious. Uzumaki Makoto paused slightly in turning the scroll. He subconsciously glanced at his watch, then threw the scroll aside and said without hesitation:
"No more searching, hurry up and retreat with Kakuzu and the others!"
Now that the Forbidden Sky Technique has been obtained, it doesn't matter whether the remaining Ninjutsu scrolls are present or not. They have already taken so many. This wave is profitable no matter what.
Although this operation had some twists and turns due to the appearance of the old steel escaper, with Uzumaki Makoto decisively throwing out the Ryōichi Seal trump card, it was a near miss and the goal was successfully achieved.
"Listen up, Obito, you will do this later..."
Stepping out of the database, Uzumaki Makoto showed no nostalgia for the ninjutsu scrolls that he had not taken away with him. After Obito followed him out, he gave instructions in a low voice.
After hearing Uzumaki Makoto's plan, Obito was a little confused and wanted to send a message, but when he thought that time was running out, he just nodded solemnly, displayed his divine power, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
In the empty and dark corridor, only Uzumaki Makoto was left. He looked at the body of the old steel escaper not far away, and first used the sealing scroll to put it away.
Then, after muttering to himself for a while, he hurriedly left the vicinity of the database. Silence soon returned to the corridor.
In place, only pieces of peeled off walls, bricks and rubble, a few large pools of blood, and a large hole leading directly to the downstairs were left.
