[Host, it’s ti to get up.]
[Host, it’s ti to get up.]
[Host, it’s ti to get up.]
In the early morning, Haruki suddenly woke up to the system’s terrifying high-pitched voice.
He jolted upright from his bed and stopped the system. "Shut up."
[Okay.]
[System offline.]
Only then did Haruki feel the world beco quiet. He took a deep breath of fresh air, washed up, and ca to the living room for breakfast.
He hadn’t expected Jiraiya to give him such a big surprise. Pulling open the bedroom door, he imdiately saw Tsunade sitting on the tatami mat.
At that mont, Haruki almost knelt down to Jiraiya.
Haruki’s legs felt weak, he looked at Jiraiya. Jiraiya gave him a triumphant smile. Tears welled up in Haruki’s eyes.
He sniffled, not holding back, and ran towards Jiraiya, hugging him.
"Thank you!"
"Jiraiya-sensei!"
Thank you for getting a suitable person for . Thank you for contributing to my great cause of collecting emotional value.
Jiraiya hadn’t expected Haruki to hug him. He patted his back, feeling incredibly soft-hearted. His peripheral vision caught Nagato’s gaze.
He actually saw... envy in Nagato’s eyes?
Jiraiya: "..."
Was Nagato envious of him being hugged by Haruki?
Nagato watched Haruki rush over to hug Jiraiya, and a faint envy welled up in his heart. Only he knew how warm Haruki’s embrace was.
When hugged by Haruki, he would feel that no matter what he encountered, he would no longer be afraid because there was soone who would always embrace and support him so unreservedly.
Tsunade looked at Jiraiya and the child in front of her with surprise. She hadn’t expected Jiraiya to be so close to these children.
From Jiraiya’s expression, she clearly saw his satisfaction with these children.
Hmph!
Thinking of this, Tsunade let out a soft snort. How could he not be satisfied?
If he wasn’t satisfied, would he have sent her a ssage yesterday, telling her to rush to Agakure?
When Tsunade received Jiraiya’s urgent letter, she was so scared that she thought Jiraiya was about to die fighting Hanzō alone.
She rushed from Konoha to Agakure overnight, only to arrive and have Jiraiya tell her that it was rely to ask her to teach a child dical Ninjutsu?
If Jiraiya hadn’t pleaded and guaranteed that this child would definitely not disappoint her, Tsunade would have beaten Jiraiya black and blue and then turned around and left.
"Hmm..."
Jiraiya rubbed Haruki’s head, who had already wriggled out of his embrace, and solemnly introduced, "Although I don’t know dical Ninjutsu, the person next to is the Ninja World’s number one dical Ninja."
"Wow!"
"So amazing!"
Konan and the others politely exclaid.
Haruki, as Agakure’s number one hype man, imdiately looked at Tsunade with sparkling eyes, full of admiration.
"I know big sister is a dical Ninja. The first ti we t, she was treating Jiraiya-sensei. Big sister is truly amazing.]
Facing the most sincere adoration and praise from a group of children, even Tsunade, who had heard such words hundreds of tis, couldn’t help but feel pleased.
"Hmph!" Tsunade gave an arrogant snort, turned her head, and crossed her arms.
"Why do you want to learn dical Ninjutsu?" Tsunade raised her chin, squinting at Haruki, asking from a condescending position.
Her attitude was certainly not friendly, but it also carried no malice, rely a simple inquiry. Of course, the answer would likely determine whether Tsunade would teach him dical Ninjutsu.
Haruki pursed his lips and gave a common answer, "Because I want to save people."
"Save people?"
Tsunade had heard this answer too many tis, to the point where her ears were calloused. She pouted. "Save who?"
"Everyone."
This ti, Haruki’s answer made Tsunade raise an eyebrow, piquing her interest a little.
Save everyone? He really dared to say that.
Even Tsunade couldn’t bring herself to say "save everyone".
She was a dical Ninja but she was not a saint. She also couldn’t beco a saint.
Tsunade’s pupils shifted, and she suddenly thought of sothing. She hesitated a little in her heart. Poking a child’s scar seed cruel, but she genuinely expected to hear a more unique answer.
So, she steeled her heart and asked, "How did your parents and relatives die?"
Jiraiya’s eyes dimd slightly, falling upon Haruki. Haruki froze, his pupils unfocused, revealing a look of pain.
Jiraiya watched him clench his fists, as if the scenes of his relatives being killed were replaying in Haruki’s mind.
Jiraiya’s eyes involuntarily showed distress. Haruki’s eyes were slightly red as she said, "They were killed by ninja."
Tsunade paused for a few seconds. It was both a mont for Haruki to compose himself and for her to do the sa.
She took a deep breath and continued to ask, "Then if you were to see the ninja who killed your parents again, and they were severely wounded, would you save them?"
Tsunade’s question instantly plunged the wooden house into a deathly silence.
No one spoke.
Anger had already stained Yahiko’s pupils. He thought, what kind of question is this?
This ninja was clearly trying to make things difficult for Haruki.
Konan restrained the furious Yahiko. She shook her head at Yahiko and mouthed, "Listen to Haruki."
Yes, listen to Haruki.
This was Haruki’s question, and only he could answer it.
Yahiko angrily tightened his fists.
Nagato stared intently at Haruki. He wondered, how would Haruki answer?
Tsunade was not surprised by Haruki’s silence. This was a question she herself couldn’t answer. No, she could answer. Her answer was no, she wouldn’t save them. She couldn’t do it.
"I will."
Haruki looked up at Tsunade in front of him. He wasn’t lying. He could indeed heal his enemies. At worst, he would kill them after saving them. Haruki shrugged in his mind.
Perhaps this way he could even earn double the emotional value. One part gratitude, one part hatred.
A profit!
"..."
Tsunade frowned, disbelieving.
She was more inclined to believe this was a forced answer Haruki gave to learn dical Ninjutsu from her.
Dissatisfaction appeared on Tsunade’s face.
Imdiately after, Haruki continued to speak, filling the void of those simple two words "I will".
"It is precisely because of hatred that wars constantly continue."
"And to eliminate hatred, one side must first choose to let go of hatred and pass on love and tolerance."
Tsunade looked at the child in front of her in shock.
Unbelievable!
Such words were actually spoken by an eight-year-old child.
Tsunade’s gaze instinctively shifted to Jiraiya. Jiraiya smiled and nodded at her.
It was then that Tsunade understood why Jiraiya would treat this child differently.
