Ignoring the audience's wails at the end, Naraku glanced at the progress. There were three episodes left, and he wasn't sure if they would focus on Kakashi or reveal his own experiences.
But he had a premonition that it would most likely be the mission to capture Yun Muyan from before, used to deliver a crushing blow to the audience.
Otherwise, given the animator's habits, why give "the three of them" so much screen time and add the part where he deliberately showed himself at the very end?
He clicked on the next episode, and sure enough, the camera focused on him packing his things that morning.
—
From the beginning, the shots were all close-ups: hands wearing fingerless gloves, a Kunai stuck in the shadows, a long sword placed on his back... Finally, the camera showed Naraku's full body, displaying his clean and agile physique.
Mikoto, worried that Naraku was not in good shape, couldn't help but try to persuade him, but she was moved by his determination and will, unwilling to diminish his dignity.
[Ah ah ah ah, this episode is still Naraku! So handsome!]
[Is he going on a mission? Can Naraku do it?]
[Tsunade left with peace of mind, so there shouldn't be a big problem.]
[Perhaps only by living and working as before can Naraku feel better inside.]
[Yes, sitting around waiting to die is more likely to lead to depression. It's good to get out and be active.]
Might Duy was also on this mission, and the atmosphere was lively.
Even if only Naraku responded at first, Might Duy, with great enthusiasm, told youth stories the entire way. By the end, even the other two team members were infected and chatted together with shouts and cheers.
The animator briefly introduced the mission content through the captain's monologue, and the screen time immediately cut to the moment the group arrived at the mission location.
After disguising themselves, the five people split up and acted separately.
[Yay! We can watch Uncle Dai beat up enemies again!]
[It's good to have familiar faces; I feel much more at ease.]
[Uncle is truly a social butterfly, he really got everyone talking.]
[Beware of Konoha Ninja Dai-ification (laughs)]
Naraku circled the streets a few times. When he passed a small tavern, he unexpectedly found that the tracking tool was active.
He sent a Shadow Clone to report, and he himself entered the tavern first to continue investigating. Unexpectedly, his teammates hadn't even arrived, but the target had already noticed him and immediately burst out, fleeing.
But Naraku's Body Flicker Technique was faster. In the screen, after just a few simple flashes, he was already engaging the target.
The screen was full of sparks from clashing weapons. Naraku exchanged several blows with the opponent using extremely exquisite sword techniques, showing no sign of weakness from his serious illness. Instead, his moves were deadly and effortless.
[What good luck, found him so quickly!]
[I'm really afraid Naraku's body isn't well now, something might happen...]
[How did he find him? Did he alert the enemy?]
[Perhaps the Yun Mu Clan has a special Ninjutsu that allows for counter-detection.]
[What's the difference between this Body Flicker Technique and a flash? It's too amazing.]
[Holy crap! Nara-baby is so handsome! He doesn't look sick at all!]
Originally, seeing Naraku Pressing the opponent, the audience thought this time was a sure win.
However, when the Yun Mu Blood Secret Technique was unleashed, its horrifying destructive power, attack range, and corrosive effects made everyone's scalp tingle.
[Rain of a Thousand Petals?!]
[There must be one or two thousand of them. Only a Sharingan could defend against them with just one sword. Anyone else would have become a human sprinkler.]
[I feel like this blood is poisonous, right?]
[Look at what you're saying. Be confident and remove "feel like."]
[Getting hit by even one would lead to death by poison.]
[I know how the Yun Mu ancestor died now—bled to death from anemia.]
