Haruki looked at Hanzo. At this moment, Hanzo was full of vigor and ambition. He was indeed an excellent leader.
Haruki’s gaze attracted Hanzo’s attention. Hanzo squatted down, looking at Haruki with a smile in his eyes.
"I believe you will become a stronger ninja than me in the future, but before you become a stronger ninja than me, you must first survive. This is not a place for a child like you."
Haruki looked into Hanzo’s eyes, he raised his head to look at Suzaku, and reached out to tug on Suzaku’s sleeve.
Suzaku immediately explained, "Hanzo-sama, all of his relatives have died in the war. I brought him back because he has special abilities."
Hanzo looked at Haruki, his heart sinking.
Did they all die in the war?
He would definitely end the war in Amegakure.
However, special abilities?
Hanzo understood Suzaku. His subordinate would not lie. A hint of curiosity flashed in Hanzo’s eyes.
What kind of special ability was it?
Suzaku continued, "He possesses powerful Medical Ninjutsu. If it weren’t for him, I might have died on the way back."
Hanzo looked at Haruki in shock, his pupils widening.
Haruki gave him a smile and said, "I’m here to help Hanzo-sama, and I also hope to contribute my strength."
The child’s tender voice echoed in Hanzo’s mind. He suppressed the complex emotions in his heart, stood up, and looked at Suzaku.
For such a young child to possess Medical Ninjutsu sounded like a fantasy. But considering Suzaku’s expression, he did not seem to be faking it. And Suzaku could not possibly deceive him.
Hanzo’s gaze fell on Haruki. The child’s eager gaze made him feel a moment of trance. He hadn’t seen such a vibrant child in Amegakure for a long time.
The war had deeply harmed this village and these children. Neither this village nor these children could smile anymore.
Hanzo took a deep breath, and looked at Haruki. "Come with me to a place."
Haruki nodded, following behind Hanzo. Suzaku walked beside Haruki.
Hanzo led them towards a tall iron tower. The smell of blood in the air grew stronger and stronger.
Haruki’s gaze passed through Hanzo, landing on the iron tower in front of him. He had already guessed where this place was.
The gathering place for war casualties.
Hanzo had brought him here to verify the truth of Suzaku’s words.
Hanzo did not push the door open directly, he turned to look at Haruki behind him. His eight-year-old body meant Haruki had to look up to see Hanzo.
"Hanzo-sama, where is this?" Haruki pretended to be ignorant and asked curiously.
Half of Hanzo’s face was blocked by a respirator, only his eyes could convey emotion.
"Beyond this door are countless ninjas injured for Amegakure." Hanzo’s voice reached Haruki’s ears through the respirator.
Haruki seemed to only hear the word "injured", and the emotion on his face was immediately replaced by anxiety. "Hanzo-sama! Please let me in to treat them."
Looking at the sincere emotion in his eyes, Hanzo’s heart stirred. However, his eyes did not reveal any emotion.
Hanzo continued, "Some of them have lost their legs, some are blind, and some..."
Hanzo watched as the child’s face grew paler. He was interrupted by the child in front of him before he could finish speaking.
"I’m not afraid!" Haruki said loudly.
His eyes gleamed with firm light, making others not doubt the truthfulness of his words in the slightest.
"They are protecting Amegakure!"
"I want to save them!"
Haruki’s voice grew louder and more determined with each word. There was no fear in his eyes, only an iron-like will.
Looking at his eloquent appearance, Hanzo’s pupils widened, and he felt a moment of trance. It was as if he saw himself as a child, resolutely deciding to transplant the poison sac into his body.
How much this child in front of him resembled himself when he was young!
[System detected Hanzo’s Nostalgia Value + 3000]
[Your Cursed Spirit Choso’s rank has increased to 13%]
He didn’t know what had happened, but he probably knew how to gain Hanzo and Suzaku’s Nostalgia Value now.
The core was just one word— Act!
"Good!" Hanzo’s comforting large hand landed on Haruki’s shoulder.
Haruki gave him a brilliant smile. Hanzo pushed open the heavy iron door in front of them. The stale air that had been confined behind the door immediately rushed out like a flood.
Haruki almost couldn’t breathe. He looked at the scene before him in shock.
Even though Rika and Sukuna had severely trained his endurance, this scene still made the acid in his stomach churn.
The ground was strewn with injured ninja. Just as Hanzo said, even more exaggerated than Hanzo described.
The wounds on these ninjas exceeded a normal person’s endurance. Haruki was so overwhelmed by the scene that he took a while to recover.
Hanzo and Suzaku were both observing his reaction.
The only two medical ninjas inside the iron rower looked towards them. They temporarily stopped their work and walked towards Hanzo.
Seeing the faces of the two medical ninjas, Haruki took a sharp breath.
The dark circles under the eyes of the two medical ninjas in front of him were almost reaching their chins. They looked hardly better than the injured ninjas on the ground.
How much had they been exploited?
"You’ve worked hard." Hanzo said to them.
The two medical ninjas numbly shook their heads. They no longer had the strength to speak.
Haruki took a deep breath, his voice clear.
Haruki looked at Hanzo with determination.
A hint of relief flashed in Hanzo’s eyes, he nodded. "Go!"
The two medical ninjas’ gazes focused on Haruki, confused.
Haruki walked towards the nearest ninja. He squatted beside the ninja, examining his injuries.
The ninja’s main injuries were to his legs. Both legs were charred black, like two pieces of dark charcoal. They must have been burned by Fire Release Ninjutsu.
An ordinary medical ninja really couldn’t heal such injuries. Even if they were healed, the ninja in front of him would only be a cripple in the future.
But Reverse Cursed Technique was different.
Reverse Cursed Technique could reverse the negative energy that caused wounds, generating positive energy with regenerative capabilities.
As long as the person hadn’t completely become a corpse, Reverse Cursed Technique could exert super healing effects.
