Chapter 373

This was undoubtedly releasing a very clear signal.

His legs could be saved!

"That's great!"

"I finally have hope of standing up again!"

Tears of joy dripped from Nagato's eyes.

He never thought that one day he would stand up on his own again.

Now, this hope was right in front of him; how could Nagato not be excited?

At this moment, he even wanted to apply all the ointment at once.

But Boss Kakuzu's warning made him sober up and stop this crazy idea.

Although this ointment could restore atrophied nerves and reconnect severed nerves.

But this required a large consumption of nutrients from the patient's body.

If too much ointment was used at once, the ointment would continuously exert its effect, while also continuously consuming the patient's nutrients.

In that case, this ointment would not be a life-saving medicine, but a poison that would kill a person.

The nutrients in the human body would be consumed in an instant, and the entire body system would collapse in an instant.

By then, even if the nerves were healed, the person would be gone.

Boss Kakuzu's warning was still in his ears, and Nagato could only suppress his thoughts and wait anxiously for the next day to arrive.

At the same time, the feeling of hunger made him understand that his body was in urgent need of nutrients.

Thus, Nagato, who hadn't eaten properly for several years, instantly turned into a big eater and ate several kilograms of food.

"Yoshiaki is a kind child, but unfortunately, he was born in the Daimyo's mansion."

A flash of memory appeared in Maru Shiori's eyes, and a trace of pain flashed through them.

The person she called Yoshiaki was the son the Daimyo had spared no expense to save.

And this Yoshiaki was also the younger brother of Maru Shiori, born of the same mother.

The Daimyo had more than a dozen children, and several wives and concubines.

Each wife and concubine had given birth to several children for the Daimyo.

As for Maru Shiori's side, there were only her and her younger brother Yoshiaki.

Yoshiaki was kind, simple, and liked to help others by nature.

At the same time, because he looked the most like the Daimyo, he was deeply favored by him.

But this also aroused the jealousy of his other brothers.

Thus, during another hunting trip, because someone had tampered with it, the horse Yoshiaki was riding went mad and threw the unprepared Yoshiaki off its back, breaking his waist.

The Daimyo was furious and executed many people.

But he was unable to find the mastermind.

And the reason why Maru Shiori wanted to participate in the struggle for the Daimyo's succession was to prevent those who had harmed her brother from successfully sitting in that position.

Now that the ointment developed by Senju Xingye could allow Yoshiaki to stand on the ground with his own legs again, Maru Shiori was very happy inside.

But her thoughts hadn't changed at all.

She would absolutely not let the Daimyo's position be given to anyone else.

"If you had told me earlier, I would have let Orochimaru research this medicine first."

Senju Xingye put his arm around Maru Shiori's shoulders.

It was rare to see the strong-willed Maru Shiori show such a weak expression in front of him, which made Senju Xingye feel extra pity.

"I just never thought that such a thing could be done."

Maru Shiori shook her head and wiped the crystal tears from the corners of her eyes.

Senju Xingye smiled and said.

"That's because you don't understand the magic of ninjutsu."

"You will see more incredible things in the future."

Maru Shiori also smiled, and a look of curiosity appeared in her eyes.

"Really? That's really something to look forward to."

Senju Xingye looked up at the bright night sky and said.

"Don't worry, I will definitely make this world better and better."
