Seeing the hostile glare Karin directed at him, Ryōsuke knew she had misunderstood.
He spoke up to explain.
"I am not with those people outside."
"Your mother can still be saved."
With that said, he reached out and pressed his hand against her mother's stomach.
Activating his Yin-Yang power, a surge of life force flowed into the body of the woman on the ground.
It coursed through her entire body.
Her current condition was extremely poor; injecting a massive amount of life force all at once would actually cause her body to collapse.
Naturally, he had to use small streams of life force to gradually improve her condition.
Hearing this person's words, Karin was highly confused. Looking closely, he indeed looked different from those guys wearing the Grass Village headbands.
However, wearing a white mask and black clothes made him look even more suspicious.
But the fact that the other party said he could save her mother brought a surge of joy to her heart.
*Could my mother really still be saved?*
*If Mother hadn't shielded me from those people, I would have died a long time ago.*
Feeling both excited and anxious, she watched the actions of the man before her.
She didn't know if he could actually bring her mother back from the brink.
A short while later.
Nourished by Ryōsuke's Yin-Yang power, the woman began to stir.
She panted softly.
Her abdomen showed a noticeable rise and fall.
The woman felt a stream of life force slowly mending her physical condition, making her feel increasingly comfortable.
*Who is treating me?*
Still unable to stop worrying about her daughter, she struggled to open her eyes.
She saw a man in black wearing a white mask, his hand extended as he transferred life force into her.
Beside him was her daughter, Karin.
Seeing her mother open her eyes, Karin's heart instantly filled with joy.
"Mother."
The woman tried to open her mouth to say something.
Ryōsuke immediately interrupted her.
"Don't move anymore. Your body is in terrible shape, and it will take some time to heal."
Hearing the word "heal," the woman was instantly astonished. She knew her own physical condition all too well.
She had been bitten far too many times, nearly depleting her own life force entirely.
Ordinary medical ninjutsu would likely be unable to save her life.
Suddenly, she felt the life force surging into her body grow a bit stronger.
Her body felt even more comfortable, and she was actually gradually recovering.
*At this rate, I might actually survive.*
She felt incredibly happy.
At the same time, she felt extremely curious about the person saving her.
*A person like this definitely isn't one of those demons from the Grass Village.*
*They don't possess this kind of healing jutsu, otherwise they wouldn't have resorted to biting me.*
Watching her mother's condition steadily improve, Karin was overjoyed.
Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes; her mother was still here.
There was nothing better than this.
Half an hour later, Ryōsuke finally withdrew his hand, having completely secured the life of Karin's mother.
Her body was mostly healed. To return to the state of a normal person, she would just have to rely on slow, steady recuperation.
Feeling her current state, Karin's mother realized her body was much better.
She couldn't help but look at the white-masked man in black.
"My lord, please take us in."
She knew the person before her was definitely not from the Grass Village, but rather an incredibly powerful individual.
Only he could save the two of them and take them away from this terrifying place that would eventually claim their lives.
Beside her, Karin also wore a look of full anticipation.
*Only by leaving with this person can Mother and I survive.*
"Alright."
Ryōsuke naturally agreed, as he had made a special trip just for this mother and daughter.
Since they were willing to go with him, they were naturally welcome.
He turned his head, his eyes narrowing as he opened a glowing portal to another location.
Looking at the woman on the ground, he spoke.
"Let's go. I will take you away from this village."
He picked the woman up, placed her on his back, and stepped into the portal.
Seeing this, Karin hurriedly followed.
Looking at the other side of the portal, it was clearly a different place. To her, this door was the gateway to survival.
After the three of them passed through, the portal gradually disappeared.
Ryōsuke looked at the surrounding scenery.
The targeting wasn't very accurate this time. They were in the outskirts of the Leaf Village, still a certain distance away from the village itself.
But it didn't matter; he just needed to use the portal again.
However, how to properly settle Karin and her mother was an issue.
Although Karin's mother had mostly recovered under his treatment, her body was still extremely weak.
The slightest mishap could put her life in danger again.
Sending her to the Leaf Village Hospital would be fine, but then Karin would likely be left with no one to take care of her.
Besides, Karin probably wouldn't be willing to leave her mother's side.
After some thought, he decided on the Leaf Village Orphanage.
His woman, Yakushi Nono, was a medical ninja.
She should be able to take good care of Karin.
Although she was pregnant, the orphanage had hired quite a few extra hands.
They definitely had the capacity to look after Karin and her mother.
Having made up his mind, he directly opened another portal.
At this distance, he could pinpoint the exact location of the orphanage's office.
Inside the office, Yakushi Nono, whose belly was slightly swollen, suddenly saw a portal appear.
Her heart immediately grew tense.
She only relaxed when she saw Ryōsuke step through carrying a woman on his back, followed by a little red-haired girl.
*This must be Ryōsuke's new ability,* she thought.
*But these two redheads feel like they're from the Uzumaki Clan.*
She couldn't help but ask.
"Ryōsuke, who are these two?"
Ryōsuke introduced them.
"This child is Karin, and the one on my back is her mother."
"You're a medical ninja, so could you help take care of them?"
Yakushi Nono replied.
"That's not a problem, but the person on your back doesn't seem to be in a good state."
As a medical ninja, she could tell just by looking that the woman on Ryōsuke's back was severely depleted.
"It couldn't be helped. She is from the Uzumaki Clan and possesses a special constitution. Biting her can heal injuries."
"She previously fell into the hands of the Grass Village and was used as a medical blood bag. She almost lost her life."
"Fortunately, I managed to save her. Now she just needs proper rest, and it won't be hard for her to recover to a normal state."
Hearing Ryōsuke's words, Yakushi Nono felt a wave of astonishment.
She was amazed that such a unique constitution existed in the shinobi world.
It piqued her interest.
Looking at the little girl in front of her, she asked.
"Ryōsuke, does this little girl have the same ability?"
Ryōsuke nodded.
"That's right. I hope she can learn medical ninjutsu from you."
"With a constitution like hers, if applied to the medical field, she could probably become a miracle doctor in the Leaf Village."
Yakushi Nono's interest was instantly piqued.
"Alright."
Although she no longer wanted to be a ninja, it didn't stop her from training a highly promising medical ninja.
Especially someone with such a special constitution.
Karin, however, felt a bit uncomfortable and muttered softly.
"I don't want to be bitten anymore."
Thinking of the bite marks on her mother's body made her a little scared.
On Ryōsuke's back, Karin's mother hurriedly spoke up.
"Karin, you can't think like that."
"My lord saved our lives, so we must dedicate ourselves to him."
