Naruto: Transmigrating With Yuta's Template

Chapter 23: [BONUS] It's Time To Leave



Tsunade looked at Jiraiya, who was completely oblivious.

She thought, 'Perhaps Jiraiya was right.'

The power of this child before her had already exceeded her imagination. He might truly be able to change the Ninja World.

"What's wrong?"

Jiraiya walked over to Tsunade, his gaze filled with concern as he looked at her.

Tsunade raised an eyebrow and smiled. "He healed a wound I couldn't treat."

Jiraiya was stunned. He looked at Haruki.

A wound that even Tsunade couldn't treat? How was that possible?

Hearing Tsunade's words, Haruki's pupils dilated, and he scratched his head, 'completely unaware'. "But I just did it the way Tsunade-sensei taught me."

Let the existence of Reverse Cursed Technique remain hidden by him.

Tsunade took a deep breath, patted Jiraiya's shoulder, and said to him with an unclear meaning, "The same Medical Ninjutsu in his hands can heal wounds that were originally incurable. He might be the person you've been searching for."

Jiraiya's heart felt like it was about to leap out of his chest. He stared at Haruki intently. Could he be the person he had been searching for all along?

"I can't stay in Amegakure for too long," Tsunade looked at Jiraiya, shrugging her shoulders with a somewhat helpless expression.

"As you can see, your student mastered my Medical Ninjutsu in just one day, and I can't teach him any more, so I have to leave."

Jiraiya looked at Tsunade and said, "Thank you, Tsunade."

Thank you, Tsunade, for traveling thousands of miles overnight to Amegakure, and for generously imparting Medical Ninjutsu to Haruki.

Tsunade was a bit unaccustomed to Jiraiya's demeanor at that moment, she punched Jiraiya in the chest.

"Are we still being polite with each other?"

Jiraiya clutched his chest, almost spitting out a mouthful of old blood. An ordinary person truly couldn't withstand Tsunade's punch.

"Want to leave after dinner?" Jiraiya swallowed the blood and suggested.

Tsunade shook her head, her expression solemn. "No, there are still missions in the village."

Jiraiya sighed silently, missions indeed could not be delayed. He said, "Then I'll see you off."

Tsunade nodded, a smile gracing her lips. "Alright."

Haruki came closer, standing beside Jiraiya, facing Tsunade. "Tsunade-sensei, I'll see you off too."

Tsunade lowered her gaze to him, reached out her hand towards Haruki, and placed it on Haruki's shoulder.

"I hope you always remember your original intention for learning Medical Ninjutsu." Tsunade said.

Haruki's original intention for learning Medical Ninjutsu?

To earn emotional value.

Haruki nodded firmly amd said, "Tsunade-sensei, I will always remember it."

How could he forget to earn emotional value?

Tsunade withdrew her hand, feeling pleased.

...

Haruki and Jiraiya saw Tsunade off at the dock.

Tsunade boarded the ship. She stood on the deck, watching Jiraiya and Haruki grow smaller in the distance. Their figures quickly shrunk into two tiny black dots, slowly disappearing from her sight.

The ship disappeared into the boundless sea, and Jiraiya and Haruki walked towards the seaside wooden house.

Yahiko and the others remained in the wooden house, diligently practicing Ninjutsu.

On the way back, Haruki suddenly asked, "Will Jiraiya-sensei leave us too?"

Hearing such a question out of the blue, Jiraiya was startled, then reacted with a hint of helplessness.

His gaze fell on Haruki as he said, "Haruki, no one can accompany you forever, and neither can I."

Jiraiya keenly noticed that Haruki's mood became low.

Haruki pleaded, "Jiraiya-sensei, can you leave a little later? I don't want to part with Jiraiya-sensei."

A smile appeared in Jiraiya's eyes, and he saw a blush on Haruki's cheek.

[Ding!]

[System detected Jiraiya's affection value +500]

[Currently collected Affection value +500. Would you like to feed it to the accompanying Cursed Spirit Rika?]

[Yes][No]

Haruki said in his mind, 'We can skip this step in the future.'

He earned affection value solely for Rika's growth.

Was there even a need to ask?

[Ding!]

[Your accompanying Cursed Spirit Rika's rank has increased to 45.502%]

[Your accompanying Cursed Spirit Rika sends feedback: Yuta, I miss you.]

Haruki's lips twitched, and he continued to say in his mind, 'Skip this step in the future too.'

[Received, processing...]

"I will only leave once you all have fully grown and gained the ability to protect yourselves, so don't worry." Jiraiya comforted him.

By the time they returned to the seaside wooden house, it was already dusk.

Yahiko and the others had already returned to the wooden house. Seeing Jiraiya and Haruki appear, their eyes lit up.

Jiraiya put his hands on his hips and instructed Yahiko and the others, "Tonight we're having a seafood feast. Let's go! Let's go catch some fish."

"Yay!"

Yahiko was the first to jump up and rush out the door.

Konan smiled and followed behind Yahiko.

Nagato glanced at Haruki, who smiled back at him. The two of them chased after Yahiko and Konan.

Watching the backs of the four of them, a bright light flickered in Jiraiya's eyes.

A month's time passed in a flash.

Haruki repeated his daily routine of practicing taijutsu and copying Jiraiya's ninjutsu.

Almost all of Jiraiya's ninjutsu below S-Rank had been copied by Haruki, including the A-rank ninjutsu Rasengan.

Although the progress of ninjutsu copy was good, the progress of emotional value remained stagnant.

Sukuna's rank had remained at 15%, completely motionless.

Rika's rank, on the other hand, had intermittently risen to 46%.

The overly peaceful life made it incredibly difficult for Haruki to collect emotional value.

Haruki looked at Jiraiya and the others, who were eating with relish, and put down his chopsticks.

He had to set sail. Otherwise, Sukuna would starve to death.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Haruki not using his chopsticks, Jiraiya was a bit puzzled.

"Why aren't you eating, Haruki?" Yahiko and the other two also looked at him strangely.

Haruki's gaze moved from them one by one, finally settling on Jiraiya. Jiraiya noticed something different in his eyes and put down his bowl and chopsticks.

"Jiraiya-sensei, Yahiko, Nagato, Konan, I plan to leave this place."

As soon as Haruki finished speaking, Yahiko immediately propped his hands on the table, leaning his upper body towards Haruki. "Why? Why are you leaving us, Haruki? What's wrong with you?"

Tears quickly welled up in Konan's eyes as she looked at Haruki. She bit her lower lip, not saying a word.

Nagato was unusually silent.

Jiraiya calmly looked at Haruki, waiting for Haruki's explanation.
