Naruto: Transmigrating With Yuta's Template

"It's great that you're okay."

Seeing the ninja looking lively and healthy, Haruki's eyes curved, and he said happily.

Suzaku looked down at his chest again in surprise and uncertainty, then he looked up and scanned his surroundings. Besides him and the child in front of him, there was no trace of anyone else in the entire forest.

"You saved me?"

How could this be?

Suzaku didn't believe that this child in front of him possessed such ability.

Amegakure wasn't without medical ninjas, but Suzaku had never seen any medical ninja capable of healing such severe wounds.

Haruki nodded innocently and said "Yes, I saved you."

As if he hadn't noticed Suzaku's shock, he continued to speak to himself, "It's a good thing I arrived early. If I had come any later, I might not have been able to save you."

As he said this, relief appeared on his face.

Suzaku stood frozen in place.

It was really this child who saved him? How could it be?

It was a miracle!

A dark light flashed in Suzaku's pupils, and he asked, "You know medical ninjutsu?"

Haruki nodded, and scratched his head sheepishly. "Yes, my Medical Ninjutsu is quite powerful."

At such a young age, to be able to use medical ninjutsu so skillfully?

Suzaku immediately made a decision in his heart. He didn't doubt for a moment that the child in front of him was a spy. After all, no ninja village would send a child with such skilled medical ninjutsu to be a spy.

"Where are your parents?" Suzaku asked a question unrelated to medical ninjutsu.

He already had a rough guess in his mind. After Amegakure became a battlefield, many children lost their parents in the war, and war orphans in Amegakure were countless.

Since there were no adults around the child in front of him, he must be one of those countless orphans.

Haruki paused, he lowered his eyes and took a deep breath. "My mom and dad are no longer here. But I will definitely listen to my mom and dad and live well."

His voice was full of determination.

Suzaku looked at his shining eyes, and for a moment, he felt a little uncomfortable.

The special geographical location led to Amegakure inevitably becoming the battlefield for Konoha and Sunagakure.

Later, Hanzo led them to fight against Konoha and Sunagakure simultaneously, just to prove Amegakure's strength, so that Konoha and Sunagakure would no longer use Amegakure as a battlefield, and to free the ravaged Amegakure from further exploitation by war.

However, such an action once again pushed Amegakure into the quagmire of war. This was a cycle. But for the future of Amegakure, they had to endure the current pain.

Drive Konoha and Sunagakure out, sign treaties with them, and make it impossible for Konoha and Sunagakure to set foot in Amegakure again.

This was what Suzaku and his comrades were doing now.

They were not unaware of the suffering of the people of Amegakure, but they were helpless.

In order for Amegakure to usher in lasting peace in the future, they could only sacrifice the current villagers.

The sacrifices of them, the ninja, were no less than those of the villagers, but they could not wallow in pain. There were still enemies waiting for them to drive out.

"Where are you going?" Suzaku asked, seeing the backpack on Haruki's back.

"I'm going to the central town." Haruki said to Suzaku.

"That place is full of ninjas, what are you going there for?" Suzaku asked.

Amegakure was not large to begin with, and now the entire Amegakure was caught in the midst of war.

The central town was entirely comprised of ninjas, constantly following Hanzo's orders to fight against Konoha and Sunagakure.

The villagers had long since fled the central town. Some hid in the deep mountains and valleys, while others directly escaped Amegakure.

Few went to the central town like the child in front of him.

"I'm going to save people." Haruki stared at Suzaku seriously, enunciating each word.

"My mom and dad died protecting Amegakure. Although I don't have the ability to protect Amegakure, I can save ninja who are injured protecting Amegakure, just like my mom and dad."

His clear, childlike voice was resonant and firm.

Suzaku felt his head spin a little from his words. He reached out and supported his forehead, his eyes a little red.

"Do you know that that place is very dangerous?"

Suzaku took a deep breath, lowered his hand, and said to the child in front of him.

Haruki nodded. "Of course I know. I've seen so many strange ninjas. If I hadn't dodged them in time, I might have already been dead."

He rubbed his arms in fear.

"Then you're going to the central town, aren't you afraid of death?" Suzaku continued to ask.

Haruki hesitated. "Of course I'm afraid of death…"

Suzaku looked at him, and for a moment, his gaze softened, not knowing what he was thinking of.

All ninja fear death, let alone a child?

"I'm all alone, and it will be dangerous wherever else I go. Since there's danger everywhere, I might as well go to a place I want to go."

Haruki pursed his lips, sat on the ground, and hugged his knees with a lost expression and said, "Amegakure is my home where I grew up, and my mom and dad are here. I don't want to leave home, I don't want to leave my mom and dad."

Suzaku's nose tingled, and his throat felt like it was blocked by a wad of cotton, unable to make any sound.

His younger brother, who had died in the war, had said the same thing to him.

"I don't want to leave big brother. Wherever big brother is, I'll be there…"

"Big brother, let's go together." Haruki invited.

"That way I won't be so scared." Haruki scratched his head sheepishly.

[Ding!]

Haruki's address made Suzaku's memories of his younger brother even more vivid.

He took a deep breath and nodded towards Haruki. "Don't worry, I'll protect you."

Even if this child didn't have great Medical Ninjutsu, he would protect his safety.

"Mm!" Haruki gave Suzaku a sweet smile.

Nostalgia value?

What Cursed Spirit could Nostalgia value activate?

Haruki was curious.

He inadvertently glanced at Suzaku out of the corner of his eye.

Since there was such a thing as Nostalgia value, he wouldn't be polite.

"Big brother, my name is Haruki Shiratori, you can call me Haruki." Haruki said enthusiastically to Suzaku.

Suzaku nodded.

Haruki's eyes darted around, and he asked, "What's your name, big brother?"

"Suzaku."

Haruki, "Then I'll call you brother Suzaku!"

Before Suzaku could speak, he chattered on endlessly, "I've always really wanted a big brother. Every time I'm scared, I think, if only I had a big brother, maybe I wouldn't be scared. A big brother would definitely protect me…"

He tentatively took Suzaku's hand. Suzaku stiffened, but didn't shake him off.
