The black tide covered the sky, swirling throughout the space in an instant, and Kaito and the others' location was no exception.
Yūrei became somewhat anxious, not bothering to hide their position, and burst out with all her supernatural power.
"Little mice, found you!"
The moment Black Zetsu's voice came from afar, all the black liquid, like enraged beasts, swept towards their location.
Yūrei apologized, "Sorry, the mental space was suddenly fortified, I need some time to break us out of here."
"Stay calm! I'll buy you some time!" Kaito formed hand seals, "Protect!"
A blue light of spiritual power burst out, instantly forming a sphere that enveloped them, and then several talismans shot out from his body to the shield, barely holding off the black liquid's assault.
Meanwhile, since they were just a part of the main body's consciousness, using a large amount of spiritual power made his figure turn transparent.
"Such terrifying malice. It's a power that can corrupt the soul." Kaito's tone was grave, "Izuna, I can only hold on for twenty seconds. We must not let Miss Yūrei get touched by that stuff. We are just a part of the main consciousness; at worst, we might suffer mental damage if discarded. But if Yūrei gets infected, it might lead to her falling into darkness!"
"Understood!" Izuna nodded, "I'll take over when the time comes."
The black tide kept hitting the spherical shield but was steadily blocked by Kaito.
After a dozen seconds, his figure had become as thin as air.
"It's all up to you now, Izuna!"
"Susanoo!"
The moment Kaito nearly disappeared, Izuna did not hesitate to use his trump card.
A giant purple, semi-transparent skeletal framework rose from the ground, seamlessly taking over Kaito's protective barrier and shielding the three of them.
"Is this the best we can do?" Izuna frowned, "Sorry, I can only hold on for ten seconds with my limited power."
"Hahaha, you can't escape!" Black Zetsu's voice grew more excited, launching an even fiercer attack.
Yūrei remained silent throughout.
"Crack, crack."
The semi-transparent skeleton forming Susanoo began to turn black, and cracks started appearing on it.
Kaito, now devoid of power, could only anxiously look towards Yūrei, who had her eyes tightly shut.
As Susanoo slowly broke apart, Kaito and Izuna used their last bit of strength to protect Yūrei.
Back at the Ōeyama Uchiha residence.
"Hmm!"
When Kaito woke up, he felt a splitting headache, but he immediately looked around, concerned for their state.
"Miss Yūrei!"
Seeing Yūrei's figure lying on the floor, he first breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he clumsily got up and walked over to her, grabbing her hand.
"Miss Yūrei! How are you?"
"I'm fine, Kaito." Yūrei opened her eyes weakly and said softly, "In the final critical moment, I managed to escape by abandoning a part of my power."
"I'm sorry, this is my fault for dragging you into this." Kaito felt somewhat ashamed.
"It's not Kaito's fault." Yūrei gave a pale smile, "Ultimately, I was too careless and didn't detect the anomaly immediately."
"Don't talk anymore."
Kaito frowned, bending down to pick up Yūrei.
Although Yūrei's body didn't weigh much, he still staggered a bit as he got up.
"Let's focus on recovering now."
He carried Yūrei, staggering to his bedroom, and after stabilizing himself, gently placed the girl on the tatami.
Kaito rubbed his temples, trying to clear his mind.
After taking out bedding from the closet and making the bed, he finally moved Yūrei onto it.
Throughout, he didn't notice that Yūrei had been watching him with gleaming eyes.
Kaito is really gentle!
Does this mean I'm going to start living together with Kaito?
A pleased smile curved on her lips.
She softly said, "Kaito, you're also in a state of mental exhaustion. You should rest now."
Kaito, come, sleep next to me!
"No, you rest first." Kaito forcefully closed and then reopened his eyes, shaking his head, "I need to check on Izuna first."
He barely stood up, leaning on the wall, and left the room with unsteady steps.
Watching his back, Yūrei puffed her cheeks.
Humph, what a fool!
Then, uncontrollably, she rubbed her face against the pillow.
It smells like Kaito.
Yūrei slowly closed her eyes and drifted into rest.
When Kaito entered another room, Izuna was already sitting on the floor meditating to recover.
He didn't make a sound to disturb him, just silently observed for a while before sighing in relief.
Izuna, it's good you're okay.
"Hisss…"
He clutched his head, feeling increasingly unbearable pain and sluggish thoughts, and simply sat down to meditate.
Another morning, Sasuke had already gone to the dojo for sword practice.
In the Uchiha residence, a man, a soul, and a specter silently sat in the living room, sipping tea.
However, Yūrei kept giving Kaito and Izuna resentful looks.
Damn it! Stupid Kaito!
Why did you leave me!
You'd rather stay in a room with that dead man.
Leaving me all alone in the bedroom!
So it's not only female ghosts who steal men!
...
Kaito sweated profusely.
I didn't do it! Don't talk nonsense!
What are you thinking about!
Stop! Stop!
I just couldn't bear the pain any longer and had to recover my spirit with Izuna!
...
Izuna ignored their silent battle and broke the silence first.
"What was that last dream about?"
Kaito added, "Well... let's have the dream expert Miss Yūrei explain to us!"
Yūrei's expression returned to normal, she gently placed her teacup on the table and softly explained, "Dreams are made up of free spiritual energy in the subconscious, generally uncontrollable."
"Yesterday's final mental space was likely a spontaneous psychic resonance between Kaguya Ōtsutsuki and that black creature. This indicates she can now reach beyond her seal into the outside world."
"From what I've observed, Kaguya and that dark entity share a common origin and are closely linked," Kaito continued, "That creature is entirely made of malice and filth."
"If I'm right, it was created by Kaguya using her purely evil spiritual energy mixed with the world's filth."
"It's an existence that can't be completely killed."
