Chapter 29
Wood Release

Kyoto Municipal Hospital, in the same ward, Ran lay in bed, a little bewildered.

In just a short morning, more than twenty high-ranking officials had come to visit her.

There were those from Kyoto Prefecture, and also from neighboring Osaka Prefecture. She seemed to have become a precious gem, and someone even asked her if she would consider getting married.

“That's too much!!”

The Southeast Asian Vinegar King had already overturned the vinegar jar, grumbling angrily:

“Ran-san, those people must have seen you have special abilities and that's why they all came over.”

“I know.”

Ran's eyes smiled into crescents, she reached out and rubbed Conan's head.

“Marriage is so strange, I won't listen to them.”

“Yes, yes.”

The two little heads nodded at the bedside.

Miyamoto Kazuko said with a serious face: “The duty of a miko is to serve the gods, she cannot marry.”

“That's an old rule.” Conan jumped up anxiously.

“But, Ran-san is a true miko, she must follow this rule.”

Miyamoto Kazuko was serious, her eyes were full of little stars when she looked at Ran.

So amazing!

Despite being so badly injured, she had healed overnight, this must be the blessing of the gods.

She would definitely hold onto Ran-san's leg and be recognized by the gods soon, becoming a true miko.

“Alright.”

Seeing that Conan and Kazuko were about to fight, Ran shook her head with a smile and said: “Those gentlemen sent a lot of gift boxes just now, do you want to try them?”

“Yay.”

The children in the room all cheered.

“Haha——”

Over at Kogoro Mouri, the situation was completely different.

He was hugging the high-ranking official beside him, calling him “brother” every other word, and never mentioning Ran.

“Detective Mouri.”

The Minister of Justice smiled and poured him a drink: “I have a grandson, a graduate of Tokyo University's Faculty of Law, he's about the same age as your daughter, how about I introduce them?”

“No, no.”

Kogoro Mouri waved his hands repeatedly: “Ran already has someone she likes, I can't interfere with that.”

“Is it Shinichi Kudo, he seems to be abroad, he hasn't been back for a long time.”

In just one night, the Mouri family had been thoroughly investigated.

The high-ranking officials present even knew everything about Kogoro Mouri, such as which nightclubs he frequented, and which beer he liked to drink.

And behind them was a whole team of experts analyzing the likes and dislikes of Kogoro Mouri, Ran Mouri, and others, and building corresponding psychological models.

After all, this was the first supernatural case with special abilities and no obvious changes in personality.

They couldn't be too careful.

Someone was already planning to arrange for their grandson to transfer to Teitan High School, after all, it's easier to get someone's attention when you're close by.

“These people are such a nuisance.”

Kogoro Mouri was about to give up.

It's easy to guess what these people are thinking, but he's definitely not going to let them get away with it.

The only thing to do now is to leak some information to distract these people.

“Oh, right.”

Kogoro Mouri patted his head, as if he was drunk, stood up and patted the table:

“I suddenly remembered something, Ran told me that her ability was bestowed by the Divine Tree, so from now on, she plans to become a miko and devote herself to serving the Divine Tree.”

“The Divine Tree?”

The high-ranking officials present looked at each other, and after a while, their eyes lit up.

...

“Caw, caw——”

Not long after, the unknown Miyamoto Shrine was secretly sealed off.

Several crows circled in the air, taking it all in, and finally landed in front of a coffee shop on the side of the road.

“Sir, here's your Blue Mountain coffee.”

The young waitress put the freshly made coffee on Gu Jue's table, her beautiful face still had a hint of shyness.

“Thank you.”

Gu Jue smiled and nodded, pretending not to hear the words his colleagues said to the waitress when she came back, ‘Miko, why didn't you leave him your phone number?’ ‘What a pity.’

“The harvest this time was good.”

Gu Jue took a coffee spoon and gently stirred the coffee, focusing on the system panel that was already open.

【Willpower Points: 14296】

It has to be said, Yukihiro is a good tool man.

He's made such a big fuss, and now the news about him is everywhere.

And he's also reaped a lot of rewards, his Willpower Points have broken through five figures for the first time.

“I'm a little excited.”

He took a sip of coffee, Gu Jue first did fourteen draws of the ordinary Fortune Bag, happily receiving 【Hidden Leaf Village's Genin Forehead Protector】, 【Konan's Paper Flower】, and other various things.

And two useful skills, 【Shadow Clone Technique】 and 【Earth Release: Heavy Rock Technique】.

“Not bad.”

Although the Crow Clone is also very useful, with the Shadow Clone Technique, many of Gu Jue's plans will be easier to implement.

And Earth Release: Heavy Rock Technique needs no explanation.

There are not many ninjutsu that can fly in Naruto, this is one.

“Then next......”

After obtaining these three skills, feeling his Chakra explode again, Gu Jue decided to go for the most expensive one.

“System, draw a Silver Fortune Bag.”

Clang!

As soon as he finished speaking, a white light flashed, and the Silver Fortune Bag slowly opened.
