It's out of control," Uchiha Sasuke said indifferently. "A rogue Special Grade Cursed Spirit.
The villagers who were eaten were real, the fear felt by the people encountered along the way was also real.
Moreover, when they came to the Basement last night, there were no Cursed Spirits.
Therefore, this Cursed Spirit before us should have been released into the Basement this morning.
Thinking a bit deeper, perhaps those people in the Basement were the monster's food.
When the time comes, the only ones who can resolve any trouble will be those who happen to be in the village.
Normally, two teenagers facing a Special Grade Cursed Spirit would naturally never return.
It was just that their actions last night had likely disrupted these people's plans, to the point that the ones being eaten were the people of this village.
Uzumaki Naruto casually rolled up his sleeves and walked forward, prepared to treat the monster to a Rasengan.
Unexpectedly, he missed.
The monster gave up on the more accessible Uzumaki Naruto right in front of it, bypassing him to charge toward Uchiha Sasuke.
Uchiha Sasuke jumped aside with a hint of disdain. Ever since he had suffered the consequences of being hairless last time, he had become extremely cautious, refusing to engage any strangely shaped Cursed Spirit without being careful first.
He wasn't afraid of fighting, but being bald was truly embarrassing!
The monster pursued relentlessly, muttering Yin Power, Yin Power under its breath, without giving a single glance to Uzumaki Naruto, who stood motionless nearby.
Uzumaki Naruto understood; this monster was after Sasuke.
Seriously, why are there people coveting Sasuke everywhere he goes?
This scene before his eyes stirred up long-lost memories for Uzumaki Naruto. There are always those in the Shinobi World who want to take Sasuke away from him.
Especially Orochimaru and Uchiha Obito; the price of clashing with these two was that he lost Sasuke, leaving him with no choice but to chase after their footsteps.
Now there was another one, Uzumaki Naruto thought through gritted teeth; he hated anyone who coveted Sasuke the most!
Uchiha Sasuke suddenly dodged to the side, the Cursed Spirit was slammed into the wall by a Great Ball Rasengan.
Why was Naruto suddenly so angry? Uchiha Sasuke glanced at him strangely, only to find that the other had already switched into Nine-Tails Mode.
.. It's not quite that extreme.
Next, Uchiha Sasuke found that it was indeed quite much; Uzumaki Naruto fought as if someone were trying to steal his wife, putting his life on the line with every single move.
How could anyone withstand the full force of one of the highest combatants in the Shinobi World? Even a Special Grade Cursed Spirit couldn't handle it.
The Cursed Spirit was soon defeated. Just as Uzumaki Naruto was preparing to deliver the final blow, Uchiha Sasuke wanted to step forward to stop him and see if he could extract any information from the Cursed Spirit; after all, the intelligence of a Special Grade Cursed Spirit was definitely no lower than that of a human.
As it turned out, someone was even faster than him.
Uzumaki Naruto pulled back his attack, watching in surprise as the little girl he had seen at the village entrance flew through the air.
She took the hit for the Cursed Spirit.
At the same time, the fluctuations of Cursed Energy appearing on the girl's body and her ability to communicate indicated that she was also a Special Grade Cursed Spirit.
It was just that the girl's physical strength was pitifully weak; she looked as if she were about to collapse after taking only a single hit from Naruto.
“No!”
The Cursed Spirit behind the girl wailed, its disgusting form transforming into the young woman they had encountered before.
As if suddenly regaining her senses, she stood up and embraced the girl.
Ma.. Mommy
Both of them heard the girl's voice.
Two Special Grade Cursed Spirits, they're mother and daughter?
Uchiha Sasuke stepped forward, red patterns appeared in his eyes, gradually forming the shape of the Mangekyou Sharingan.
Let him see what has actually happened to this village.
The opponent did not resist.
He and Uzumaki Naruto successfully entered the opponent's mental world.

Chapter 65
There really is a god here who grants marriage wishes, it's just that you have to add the word "evil" in front of it.
First, a woman appeared who looked much younger than she did now. Wearing white Miko robes, she stood on a stool, earnestly wiping the shrine's bells, before accidentally meeting a man's gaze as she looked down.
The world fell silent for a moment. Inside the mental space, Sasuke and Naruto clearly felt the unusual emotions of the space's owner, time seemed to stand still at that moment.
Uzumaki Naruto felt a strange sensation, one that reminded him of the time he locked eyes with Sasuke by the small river.
Although he and Sasuke, uh, weren't that kind of relationship, people's emotions still share certain commonalities, he thought.
Uchiha Sasuke looked at the clothes the man was wearing; the style didn't look modern, so whatever happened must have occurred some time ago.
The scene shifted. A Miko sat under the eaves of a Shrine, next to a cradle where a few-months-old child lay, occasionally waving short arms.
A man burst into this scene, cradling a bouquet of white Jasmine.
"I just went out and saw the flowers blooming, so I picked a few branches." He handed the flowers in his hands to his wife, then turned to pick up the baby in the cradle.
The man began making funny faces at the child, the child giggled.
“She is so fair-skinned, just like this Jasmine.” The man seemed to think of something and turned to ask his wife, “How about naming her Coriander?”
The Miko was caught completely off guard??
"Does this name have anything to do with what you just said?" Naruto couldn't help but ask.
Even a smart person like Uchiha Sasuke couldn't figure out how the two were actually connected; facing Naruto's inquiry, he remained silent and shook his head.
One can only say that people can be quite inexplicable sometimes.
I don't know what the man was thinking about the two of them, but the Miko had clearly come to her senses.
She looked at her husband with a smile, saying nothing.
Naruto suddenly felt a sudden ache all over his body. He shook himself, feeling strangely as if he had seen Sakura's figure behind the Miko; usually, when Sakura smiled like that, she would start hitting someone the very next second.
Perhaps the man also sensed his wife's killing intent and hurriedly tried to soothe her.
I'm just joking. When I saw these flowers blooming so beautifully this morning, I started thinking about what our child's name should be.
I want to call her Jasmine." He looked at his wife with a twinkle in his eyes, "That way, it sounds like a beautiful and pure girl.
Hearing this, a touch of genuine warmth finally appeared on the Miko's face. "Anything you want."
The child seemed quite satisfied with this name himself, shouting loudly as the objects around him rose and fell in the air with the waving of his arms.
Wow, such powerful Cursed Energy." Uzumaki Naruto stood with one hand on his hip and the other stroking his chin. "No wonder he could become a Special Grade Cursed Spirit.
Uchiha Sasuke nodded in silent agreement.
After these days of popular science about the Jujutsu World, they already knew that the amount of Cursed Energy a person is born with almost represents the strength of the Cursed Energy they can reach in the future, everyone's unique Innate Technique in the Jujutsu World is, in Sasuke's understanding, equivalent to the Bloodline Limit in the Shinobi World.
Some family techniques are as renowned as the Sharingan, while others are mediocre.
But regardless, being able to manifest Cursed Energy like this only a few months after birth proves that this child definitely has immense potential.
! Thud!
The sound of something falling heavily to the ground echoed.
They instinctively looked toward the sound and saw a man lying on the ground, staring at the scene with wide eyes, before he scrambled up in a panic and fled.
Naruto and Sasuke both felt their hearts sink. Even in a world where ninjas were a known existence, ninjas with special powers were not well-liked by civilians, let alone in this world where ordinary people were still unaware of the existence of those with special abilities.
This man's behavior represents the attitude that most ordinary people hold toward those with special abilities.
As a result, this matter will inevitably spread from one person to ten, from ten to a hundred.
Looking at this child's appearance, it didn't seem like he could hide it; even if he avoided it this time, he wouldn't be able to avoid it next time.
Thinking of the consequences they had once seen when those non-clan jujutsu users were exposed to ordinary people, they could vaguely see the outcome of this matter.
As expected, the next scene showed a crowd of people whispering outside the Temple.
“It must be a monster; how could a human possibly have such an ability?”
No wonder I've been feeling unwell lately; it must be because monsters have appeared in the village.
Exactly! The other day, I had a mysterious fall at home. It might have been them causing trouble!
Yeah, it's definitely that monster's doing!
The crowd grew increasingly agitated, with that came rejection.
No matter where the Miko family goes, they are rejected.
This section was extremely uncomfortable to read, Uzumaki Naruto frowned deeply.
Sasuke glanced back at Naruto, his fingers twitching.
“It seems the first generation's due date is approaching,” he suddenly asked. “Shouldn't we go back and take a look?”
"Ah, let me calculate." Naruto subconsciously pondered after hearing Sasuke's words.
“It should be next month; I really should go back and visit.” He turned his head to answer, adding a sigh of emotion to his words.
This is the first time I've seen a man give birth.
Hearing this, Sasuke fell silent for a moment, "That's why he's the First." Because he's the first.
Naruto instantly understood what he meant and burst into laughter, "Hahaha, you can't say that! The first Hokage of other hidden villages couldn't pull that off."
The originally solemn atmosphere was lightened by this interrupting laughter.
