A violent explosion, a shock wave that penetrated the clouds, and spread out waves for several kilometers.
The figure of Erwei disappeared without a trace, and Kaito escaped being killed by the explosion by relying on hardening, shadow clothing, and water formation wall, but he was also seriously injured.
His ribs were broken, his spine was broken, his heart was broken, his left hand and leg were twisted and broken, and most of his tail was broken off.
Kaito used his last strength to take out a fragment of the sacred tree from his pocket, put it into his mouth, and after giving the final order to Shadow Mouse, he fell into a deep sleep.
The Kaito drifted with the tide, and the chakra and life force contained in the fragments of the sacred tree were continuously absorbed by his body, healing his body's injuries bit by bit.
Shadow rats swam on the surface of his body, and any carnivorous fish that came close and wanted to use the rats as food were killed by these shadow rats.
The sun is shining brightly in the sky, the moon is bright in the sky, it is raining heavily, and there are thunderbolts in the sky.
After wandering like this for three days, he drifted to a shore.
At this time, there were two girls playing and walking on the shore.
"Mito-sama, look, there seems to be a corpse there." One of the girls wearing servant clothes said.
Although she is a girl, living in this era, she naturally does not have much fear of corpses.
Not only the servant girl, but also the girl next to her who was a little gorgeously dressed didn't have the slightest fear of the corpse, and looked over with some curiosity.
"Let's go over and take a look." The girl named Mito said.
When the two girls came to the shore, they were surprised to find that it was not a human being, but a creature that was half human and half mouse. There were also some fragments of human clothes on it. It was obviously an intelligent creature that understood the beauty of Zhangfu.
When the servant girl saw this, she was surprised with a hint of fear. She found that the rat was still alive and suggested that he be killed and then studied.
She didn't notice that when she showed her murderous intent, the shadow under Kaito's body started to squirm.
However, Mito has insight and knows a lot about humanoid psychic beasts. After explaining it to the servant girl, he proposed to take the Kaito back for treatment.
Humanoid spiritual beasts are very rare. Since they are not human, it means that there will not be too many conflicts of interest. If a good relationship is established, there may be another powerful psychic beast in the clan.
In the shadows, the shadow rats returned to calm again.
Shadow rats cannot understand human language, but they can sense people's good intentions and malice.
The two girls brought the Kaito back to the family, but they brought it back secretly. Mito didn't want others to know. She wanted to build a relationship with the rat man centered on herself, because that would increase her influence in the family. The right to speak brings her closer to the position of patriarch.
Mito, Uzumaki Mito, is 16 years old this year. She is the daughter of the patriarch of the famous Uzumaki clan in the country of Uzumaki. She has been born with a very strong talent and is also one of the candidates for the next clan leader.
It can be said that if she hadn't been a woman and had the important responsibility of giving birth, she would have been the default candidate for the position of patriarch.
(About Uzumaki Mito, I found some information, and saw this paragraph in the original text of the manga, 'She came to Konoha Ninja Village in order to be a sacrifice.' This sentence explains that Uzumaki Mito married Senju Hashirama At that time, Konoha had already been established. And Tsunade was born in Konoha 10 years ago, so Uzumaki Mito could not be Tsunade's biological grandmother, but Senju Hashirama remarried.)
"The injury is very serious." Uzumaki Mito inspected the wounds on Kaito's body and said with some alarm.
In fact, Mouse's injuries have improved a lot at this time. His heart has been repaired, his spine has been repaired, and three ribs have been repaired.
But even so, most of the ribs were broken, the bones of the arms and legs were shattered, and a large area of the skin was burned. For a normal person, these injuries were fatal.
Mito looked at the rat, bit his lip and thought for a while, then took out a dagger and cut his wrist open.
Bright red blood flowed from her wrist, and flowed into Kaito's mouth bit by bit.
The rich and gentle vitality quickly integrated into the body of the rat.
Because the injury was serious, the injured area was huge, and the fragments eaten by the rat were not large enough, so although it had been healing on its own, it was very slow and difficult to see with the naked eye.
But at this time, with the injection of life force from Mito Uzumaki, the injury of Kaito began to heal itself at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Ribs, skin, arms, tail, starting from the most important to the least important.
The body's rapid self-healing brought about obvious nerve stimulation. Kaito woke up from his deep sleep and looked at the surrounding situation with some surprise.
When he saw a beautiful girl standing next to him, his surprised expression became even more obvious.
He propped himself up with his hands and tried to sit up.
However, Mito on the side reached out and held him down.
"Don't move. You are seriously injured and need a good rest. Don't worry, I won't hurt you." Mito said with a gentle smile.
After hearing what she said, Kaito obediently lay on the bed again, and then while feeling the body's rapid self-healing process, he looked at Mito with curiosity and a little surprise.
"Aren't you afraid of me?" Kaito was a little strange.
"Why are we afraid of you?" Uzumaki Mito asked in return.
"Why...? Isn't this natural? Let's not mention that I was so seriously injured. Let's just talk about my appearance. Normal people will be scared when they see me." Kaito was speechless.
"I'm not an ordinary girl, I'm a ninja." Uzumaki Mito explained.
"Ninja..." Kaito showed an even more speechless expression: "You don't need to say this, I can see it."
"My family is very powerful, so I have enough knowledge. I have not only heard a lot about humanoid spiritual beasts, but I have also seen humanoid psychic beasts with my own eyes, so I don't think much about beings like you. "Fear." Uzumaki Mito answered Mouse's doubts.
"That's it..." Kaito nodded, but he still didn't fully understand.
Because I can understand rationally because of my knowledge, I understand this Kaito
But he thinks that he is not very good-looking. He is a mouse after all. Even if he is already very handsome and good-looking among mice after becoming a rat-man, he is still very scary to humans, especially human women. Appearance.
"Why do you want to save me? Do you want me to be your psychic beast?" Kaito asked.
"It would be an honor for me to make a contract with you, but I just want to have a good relationship with you. As long as I maintain a good relationship with you, it will be worth it to me." Uzumaki Mito did not hide anything. Meaning, state your plans.
"Oh, okay. I accept your kindness, and I will also remember your kindness. I will definitely repay you in the future." Kaito did not mention the contract. He was not prepared to make a contract with humans.
"By the way, what's your name? My name is Mouse."
"My name is Uzumaki Mito."
"Uzumaki Mito..." Kaito felt that the name was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it before, and he stopped thinking about it.
"Nice to meet you." Kaito smiled. This was the first time he had shown such a sincere smile in this world.
"Me too." Uzumaki Mito's smile was bright and sincere. She felt that she had finally made a friend, even though this friend was not human.
