Nagato stood by Haruki, watching his surroundings vigilantly. His Rinnegan slowly rotated in the darkness, sensing the flow of Chakra around him, preemptively warning of any potential danger.
He had to protect Haruki. A flicker of determination crossed Nagato's eyes. His body leaned slightly forward, ready to pounce and fight the enemy at any mont.
A soft light enveloped the grueso wound on Ruma's abdon. Ruma's previously tensed body gradually relaxed.
So comfortable...
The wound felt itchy, and the pain was slowly subsiding. It seed his strength was also gradually returning.
Ruma used all his strength to turn his head, scrutinizing the young man before him.
A completely unfamiliar face.
Ruma tried hard to recall, but he couldn't find any corresponding na. He was certain he didn't know this young man. He also didn't see anything related to Iwagakure on this young man.
Which ant...
He took a breath. His cold body gradually ward. A hint of confusion flashed in his eyes.
Which ant, this young man was neither a Konoha ninja nor an Iwa ninja.
Then why was he on the battlefield?
Why did he save him?
"You..."
Ruma felt his body gradually becoming lighter. He finally regained a little strength.
"Who are you?" He breathed out a faint whisper.
"I am a dical ninja here to save you." Haruki gave Ruma a warm smile.
Ruma: "..."
What kind of answer was that?
It was as good as saying nothing. He still didn't know the other party's identity, na, or origin.
"Don't worry, I will heal you." Haruki comforted Ruma before him.
Ruma looked at him, a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes.
[Ding!]

Ruma felt the kindness from Haruki, and the wariness in his eyes slowly dissipated, leaving only confusion.
The light in Haruki's hand extinguished, and he delivered a hand chop to Ruma's neck.
Ruma's head tilted, and he fainted again. Only a long, shallow pink scar remained on his abdon.
Aoki looked at Haruki blankly.
Haruki stared at Aoki and said, "Aoki, can you help look after the unconscious ninja?"
Aoki looked at Haruki blankly, his gaze falling on the ninja Haruki had knocked out, with confusion. "Why?"
Haruki explained, "If we don't knock them out, they will definitely choose to return to the battlefield. When will this battle ever stop then?"
Hearing Haruki's explanation, the confusion in Aoki's eyes imdiately vanished.
He nodded, completely reversing his previous hesitant and fearful attitude, and said to Haruki, "Leave it to ."
Haruki smiled at Aoki. "I knew you would help . Thank you, Aoki."
Aoki's movents paused. He looked at Haruki's shining eyes, then lowered his gaze, saying nothing.
[Ding!]

Tentacles once again erged from the vortex, sliding into the night.
The tentacles' second target was an Iwa ninja pinned under a half-burnt tree trunk. His arms and legs were twisted at unnatural angles, his chest rose and fell faintly, and his eyes were tightly shut.
The tentacles skillfully threaded into the gap between the tree trunk and the Iwa ninja. It carefully wrapped around the Iwa ninja's torso, steadily pulling him out from under the heavy pressure, the entire process making almost no sound.
The tentacles brought him back and gently placed him on Haruki's other side.
Haruki checked the Iwa ninja's injuries and began treatnt.

The Iwa ninja seed to sense another's presence and suddenly opened his eyes.
Aoki reflexively covered the Iwa ninja's mouth, absolutely not letting him expose their hiding place.
The Iwa ninja's pupils suddenly dilated. He stared fiercely at Haruki and Aoki, his already broken limbs unable to support any resistance.
Haruki, as if oblivious to the Iwa ninja's anger, gave him a compassionate smile that seed to encompass all beings.
"I will definitely save you. I won't let you die on the battlefield. Please hold on. Don't give up on yourself."
The Iwa ninja looked at the smile on the young man's face, his breathing ragged.
Who was he!
How did this person appear on the battlefield?
What exactly did he want to do?
Save him?
He didn't believe it!
Intense killing intent burst forth from his eyes.
[Ding!]

Haruki really wanted to rub his hands together and threaten the Iwa ninja.
'Stare all you want. No one will co to save you even if your eyes pop out.'
Haruki reined in his fantasy and began to treat the Iwa ninja. The Iwa ninja's hostile attitude made Haruki's treatnt a little rougher.
[Ding!]

As ti passed, the expression on the Iwa ninja's face gradually changed. He no longer stared fiercely at Haruki, his dilated pupils held shock.
What was happening?
How did his numb limbs regain feeling?
Could this person really be here to save him?
But... why?
The Iwa ninja confird that he had never seen this young man before.
Why was he saving him?
His limbs felt increasingly distinct. His breathing was rapid, and his eyes sparkled with light.
Could it be that he wouldn't die?
Could it be that he was really recovering?
The Iwa ninja looked at the young man diligently treating him, his expression complex.
