[System detected Rin’s Gratitude Value +1000.]
[The value for activating a Cursed Spirit has not been reached, Gratitude Value has been stored.]
Haruki didn’t stop for a moment, immediately running to the next ninja awaiting treatment.
Hanzo kept a constant eye on Haruki. As soon as a hint of fatigue appeared on his face, he would immediately make Haruki stop.
Watching Haruki not pause for a moment, focused on saving people, Hanzo couldn’t help but think of himself.
This child in front of him was too much like his former self.
Equally devoted to the village, equally selflessly dedicated to the village, equally firm in will.
[System detected Hanzo’s Nostalgia Value +3000.]
[Your Cursed Spirit Choso’s rank has increased to 16%.]
Haruki subtly glanced at Hanzo. To gain Hanzo’s Nostalgia Value, he had to act like a strong little boy who loved Amegakure in front of Hanzo. Currently, it seemed Hanzo was quite susceptible to this approach.
Gratitude Values dinged and rang incessantly in Haruki’s mind. Haruki had never heard such beautiful music.
Now that the Gratitude Value had reached 9000, after treating just one more person, he would be able to activate a new Cursed Spirit.
Haruki couldn’t suppress the excitement in his heart. He swiftly ran towards the injured ninja.
[System detected Suiko’s Killing Intent Value +5000.]
[Your Cursed Spirit Sukuna’s rank has increased to 20%.]
Killing Intent Value?
Where did the Killing Intent Value come from?
Haruki’s gaze subtly swept over the injured ninjas on the ground.
Why would he have Killing Intent Value towards him?
Could this Suiko be an infiltrator sent by another ninja village to Amegakure?
The more Haruki thought about it, the more likely it seemed.
Only an infiltrator from another ninja village would have killing intent towards him, who could heal Ame ninjas.
Such strong killing intent—it seemed he was eager to eliminate him, this threat.
Haruki didn’t know who this Suiko was, nor could he rashly ask Hanzo and Suzaku. But he believed this Suiko would definitely make a move against him.
Before making his move, this Suiko must contribute more Killing Intent Value to him.
Haruki nonchalantly knelt down and continued his treatment.
The ninja leaning against the wall smiled at Haruki.
Haruki watched the wound under his hand gradually heal, and he glanced at the ninja in front of him.
Why was there no Gratitude Value?
"I... I have something I want to give you... Thank you... for saving me..."
The ninja’s pale lips moved, his eyes full of anticipation as he looked at Haruki.
Haruki raised an eyebrow. This ninja kept saying ’thank you,’ but he still hadn’t received any Gratitude Value from him.
[System detected Suiko’s Killing Intent Value +3000.]
[Your Cursed Spirit Sukuna’s rank has increased to 23%.]
Haruki stared at the ninja in front of him. So, this ninja in front of him was Suiko.
No wonder he wasn’t receiving Gratitude Value. This ninja named Suiko only had killing intent towards him.
"No, how can I accept your gift?"
Haruki, full of integrity, said with great principle, "I saved you because you are a hero who protected the village, not for your gift."
After speaking, he turned and extended his hand towards the injured ninja behind him. He had already given Suiko the opportunity; he hoped Suiko wouldn’t disappoint him.
Haruki wasn’t worried about getting injured at all. Since he had started saving people, Hanzo’s gaze had never left him.
Even if Hanzo didn’t react in time, he still had Rika, Sukuna, and Choso as triple safeguards.
Of course, Haruki didn’t believe this ninja named Suiko could successfully assassinate him under Hanzo’s nose.
[System detected Suiko’s Killing Intent Value +3000.]
[Your Cursed Spirit Sukuna’s rank has increased to 26%.]
Suiko looked at the defenseless child in front of him, his fingers twitching. Even if his identity was exposed, he would die with this child.
With this child present, the casualties of Amegakure would be greatly reduced. The threat to Sunagakure would be greater.
For Sunagakure, he would kill this child even if it meant his own death. He absolutely could not let this child live. Otherwise, Amegakure would be like a tiger with wings.
Defeating Amegakure would become even more difficult.
Haruki’s hands glowed with a green light. He seemed to notice nothing, absorbed in his treatment.
The Ame ninja receiving his treatment slowly regained consciousness, and the two medical ninjas on either side helped support the injured ninja’s body.
Hanzo watched Haruki’s complexion. After this ninja’s treatment was complete, he would force Haruki to rest for a while.
No matter how powerful Haruki’s talent was, it couldn’t change the fact that he was still a child. He was destined not to work day and night like an adult medical ninja.
In the dim tower, a white light flashed quickly in Hanzo’s eyes. The tip of a kunai approached Haruki’s neck. Hanzo’s pupils constricted.
"Haruki!" Suzaku trembled all over and immediately ran towards Haruki. However, a figure was faster than him.
Even with preparation, the moment danger arrived, the hairs on Haruki’s nape stood on end.
A loud bang erupted from behind him.
Haruki turned his head sharply. Suiko’s body was heavily stomped onto the floor by Hanzo. His arms and legs were all broken by Hanzo, twisted into distorted poses.
His head was forcefully smashed into the floor by Hanzo, and blood gushed from his mouth and nose. His resentful gaze fell upon Haruki.
[System detected Suiko’s Hatred Value +5000.]
[The value for activating a Cursed Spirit has not been reached, Hatred Value has been stored.]
Hanzo cleanly dislocated his jaw to prevent him from committing suicide. He stared darkly at the ninja on the ground, an infiltrator had actually gotten in.
And he almost injured Haruki!
Hanzo nodded towards Suzaku and said, "Drag him out."
Hanzo didn’t need to say more, Suzaku knew what to do. Suzaku stepped forward, grabbed Suiko’s hair, and roughly dragged Suiko towards the door.
Haruki stood dumbfounded, maintaining his shocked state. In his mind, however, he was thinking about the Hatred Value Suiko had just contributed to him.
Killing Intent Value activated Sukuna, Nostalgia Value activated Choso, so which Cursed Spirit could Hatred Value activate?
Mahito? Jogo? Hanami?
Haruki went through all the Cursed Spirits’ names in his mind.
He felt that the Cursed Spirit most likely to be activated by extreme emotions like Hatred Value was Mahito. Unfortunately, only 5000 Hatred Value was collected.
Haruki sighed regretfully in his heart.
"Haruki? Are you alright?" Hanzo crouched in front of Haruki, his eyes filled with concern.
After the attack just now, Haruki was like a stone statue, losing all reaction. The two medical ninjas nervously supported Haruki.
