Inside the somewhat dim room, a figure stood at the doorway. He could already sense the extremely powerful energy emanating from the young man within.

Kimimaro of the Kaguya clan!

Unfortunately, he suffered from an irreversible disease. Once intended to be Orochimaru's vessel, Kimimaro had lost his purpose due to his illness (he's talking about the future timeline of the original universe). For Yusuke, however, these future problems were inconsequential.

Moreover, Kimimaro possessed the strongest affinity with the Kaguya clan's Kekkei Genkai: Shikotsumyaku — Skeletal Control. This was why the entire clan had raised him as a secret weapon since childhood.

Yet, their method of nurturing him was deeply flawed — they had completely imprisoned him.

With a creak, the old iron door slowly opened. Yusuke entered the bare room, furnished only with a simple bed and some toiletries.

A child of about six or seven crouched silently near the iron window, unmoved by the presence behind him.

His once bright white hair had dulled — a testament to his miserable life since being designated as the clan's weapon.

The little boy gazed at a flower struggling to grow in the corner, yearning for the sunlight filtering through the nearby iron window.

"Kimimaro." Yusuke said, looking at the boy before him — skin and bones, to say the least.

Hearing the unfamiliar voice, the boy slowly stood. He barely reached Yusuke's waist. His eyes, devoid of their original luster, reflected his lost interest in life. He existed solely to be a weapon for the clan.

"I'm Yusuke Kamizuki. Come with me." Yusuke said, getting straight to the point.

"You can take me away?" A flicker of hope appeared in Kimimaro's eyes.

"Yes." Yusuke smiled gently.

The boy glanced at the Kaguya clan leader behind Yusuke.

The leader immediately declared, "From now on, the entire Kaguya clan swears allegiance to Lord Yusuke until death!"

Though Kimimaro didn't fully grasp the situation, he understood that agreeing meant leaving with the man before him. Yet, a long-standing question troubled him. Bravely, he looked up at Yusuke.

"I have a question I really want answered."

"What is it?" Yusuke asked.

Glancing at the flower in the corner, he asked, "What is the meaning of living?"

At a time when he should have been carefree in childhood, he asked a profound question about the meaning of life. Yusuke clicked his tongue, impressed. As expected of Kimimaro!

Then, he recalled Uncle Snake's wisdom.

He continued, "There's no inherent meaning to living. But only by continuing to live can you discover meaningful things. Just as you discovered this flower, I have discovered you."

A classic line from Uncle Snake for enticing people.

Indeed, after Yusuke finished speaking, Kimimaro stood dumbfounded for a long time. A glimmer of light appeared in his once-empty eyes.

At this moment, Yusuke was like a beam of light in Kimimaro's dark world, suddenly illuminating his heart!

"I'll go with you!" His voice carried a hint of urgency.

"Good." Yusuke smiled again. After a moment's thought, he calculated the time and said, "Give Kimimaro a good wash. Then let him eat his fill before we leave. Hmm... I'll be back in three hours."

"Yes, Lord Yusuke!" The Kaguya clan leader immediately obeyed.

Afterwards, Yusuke used the Flying Thunder God technique, instantly vanishing without a trace!

When he appeared again, he had already arrived at the previous valley.

"!!!"

Although she was always prepared, Mei was still startled when Yusuke suddenly appeared before her.

As he looked at her, now fully prepared, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

Mei was dressed in a bunny girl outfit. With the addition of white stockings, it had a unique allure.

This was also one of the things Yusuke had given her in the gift box earlier.

"Does it look good?" Being stared at by his passionate gaze, Mei gently bit her lip.

"It looks great!" He praised generously.

"Have you resolved the matter with the Kaguya clan?" She asked.

"The matter over there has been settled." He picked Mei up in his arms. "Let's quickly resolve our matter too."

"Eh?!!!!" Her mind was in a whirl. She glanced at the surrounding forest. "Hubby... Mmph! This is the outdoors!"

"That's exactly what we want, the outdoors!" Yusuke curved his lips into a evil smile as he continued, "And backdoors too."

"!!!"
