With such terrifying talent, he would probably find it very difficult to guide Haruki’s training. Suzaku realized this point.
It seems I need to inform Hanzō-sama of this news.
Suzaku said to Haruki, "Come with me to see Hanzō-sama."
Haruki nodded, followed behind Suzaku, turned around and waved to the three ninjas. "Goodbye."
The three ninjas: "..."
It’s better if he disappears. Otherwise, they would feel unbalanced.
Haruki jogged a few steps, looked at Suzaku beside him, and asked, "Why are we going to see Hanzō-sama?"
"Your talent is very high, only Hanzō-sama can guide you." Suzaku said.
Suzaku looked at Haruki.
A hint of quiet joy appeared on Haruki’s face. "Really?"
Suzaku nodded, a smile flashing in his eyes, thinking Haruki was indeed still a child.
"But I think brother Suzaku is also very amazing." Haruki continued.
Suzaku’s lips curved slightly upwards.
A figure leaped down from the rooftop, landing beside Suzaku.
Suzaku looked at the anxiety in his eyes and asked, "What happened?"
Nagi spoke very quickly, "A ninja team of at least five hundred people is approaching from the southwest."
Suzaku’s expression immediately turned serious. He said, "You go report to Hanzō-sama first. I’ll be there shortly."
He leaped back onto the rooftop, and in a few bounds, he disappeared from Suzaku’s sight.
Suzaku turned, looking seriously at Haruki and asked, "Haruki, do you still remember the way to the iron tower yesterday?"
Haruki’s eyes flickered, and he nodded. "I remember."
Suzaku reached out and patted Haruki’s head, instructing, "Now, go hide inside the iron tower, and don’t come out casually."
’It seems another war is about to happen.’
Haruki nodded. "Okay."
He turned and ran towards yesterday’s iron tower. Watching his retreating figure, Suzaku breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Haruki’s talent was exceptional, he was too young and constantly faced danger in war.
The iron tower was currently the safest place in the entire Amegakure. Medical ninjas would also take care of Haruki.
Only when Haruki’s figure was completely out of sight did Suzaku turn and run towards Hanzō’s office.
By the time Suzaku arrived, Hanzō had already put on his battle armor.
Hanzō glanced at Suzaku and asked, "Where’s Haruki?"
Suzaku explained, "I sent him to the iron tower."
Hanzō nodded, satisfied with Suzaku’s arrangement. That place was safe enough, and Haruki could also help treat ninjas there.
"Let’s go!" Hanzō strode quickly towards the door.
He leaped onto the rooftop, and a dense crowd of Ame ninjas appeared behind him, like a condensed dark cloud.
Suzaku walked to Hanzō’s side and said, "Hanzō-sama, after this war ends, please personally guide Haruki."
Hanzō glanced at him from the corner of his eye and asked, "Why?"
Suzaku looked forward, pausing. "That child is a genius, he can master any ninjutsu just by seeing it once."
Hanzō turned to look at Suzaku in disbelief. Suzaku quietly met Hanzō’s gaze, his eyes full of seriousness.
Hanzō withdrew his gaze, calming the turbulent waves in his heart.
Hanzō looked straight ahead, a smile on his lips. "After we win this war, we’ll go back and see just how amazing Haruki’s talent is for you to say such a thing."
In fact, Suzaku was also a genius. How high could the talent of someone called a genius by another genius possibly be?
The iron gate outside the iron tower was knocked. The medical ninjas nervously opened the door, looking down.
The medical ninjas immediately pulled Haruki into the iron tower.
"Haruki, are you not injured?" The medical ninja squatted down worriedly, carefully examining Haruki’s entire body.
Haruki held down their hands that wanted to lift his clothes, emphasizing, "I’m fine. I’m not injured. The enemies haven’t come in."
Only then did the medical ninjas breathe a sigh of relief.
"Haruki, let’s stay here and not go out, it’s very dangerous outside." They led Haruki further inside.
The ninjas cured by Haruki yesterday were standing guard inside the iron tower.
Seeing Haruki, they promised him, "Don’t worry. We will protect you. We absolutely won’t let you get hurt."
Haruki looked at them, smiled, and also promised, "I will protect you all too."
The ninjas all burst into laughter.
"Let’s continue the treatment." Haruki said to the two medical ninjas beside him.
Since they were already here, he definitely had to earn some gratitude points.
Although many people had been treated yesterday, the rate at which ninjas were injured far exceeded the rate of treatment.
Now that the war had resumed, the number of injured ninjas would only increase.
"Okay." The medical ninjas did not decline.
Indeed, many ninjas were still waiting for Haruki’s treatment. They had already dealt with common injuries. There were also some ninjas whose injuries they were powerless to treat, waiting for Haruki to resolve them.
Although placing such a heavy burden entirely on Haruki alone was too much for him, they had no other choice. They would try their best to share the burden with Haruki.
[System detected Kishi’s gratitude value + 1000]
[Your Cursed Spirit Land God’s rank has risen to 36%]
Haruki smiled brightly at the ninja who had contributed gratitude value. "All done."
He moved to another injured ninja.
The notification sound of gratitude value constantly echoed in Haruki’s mind. Land God’s rank was climbing at a visibly rapid pace.
In just a few hours, Land God’s rank had already surpassed Rika.
[System detected Sakikawa’s gratitude value + 1000]
[Your Cursed Spirit Land God’s rank has risen to 50%]
After Land God’s rank crossed the 50% mark, the rate of rank increase visibly slowed down.
As Land God’s rank increased slowly, other ideas arose in Haruki’s mind. So far, among the four Cursed Spirits, Choso and Sukuna’s ranks were relatively low.
Increasing nostalgia value required specific scenes and people, so there was no point in rushing. But the opportunity to increase killing intent value was right before him.
Was there any place more suitable for increasing killing intent value than a battlefield?
Haruki treated patients while turning his head to look at the two protectors on either side.
The two medical ninjas, seeing him look over, asked, "Are you tired?"
Before Haruki could answer, they immediately said, "If you’re tired, rest for a while. Are you hungry? Do you want some bread?"
Haruki fell silent. It would be a bit difficult to shake them off and secretly go to the battlefield.
