"Ding!"
"The System detected Yushishi's Gratitude Value +3000."
"Ding!"
"Your Curse Power Land God Rank has increased to 52.3%."
"Ding!"
"The System detected Mizuna's Gratitude Value +2000."
"Ding!"
"Your Curse Power Land God Rank has increased to 52.5%."
"Why did the Gratitude Value decrease?"
Haruki withdrew his hand, looking at the two Shinobi in front of him with a hint of regret.
"If only every Shinobi he saved could contribute five thousand Gratitude Value, how good would that be!"
"I never thought I'd still be alive…"
Yushishi looked at his hands, in a daze, as if he hadn't recovered from the brink of death.
Mizuna leaned against the rock, his eyes filled with confusion.
The feeling of death approaching was too real; even now, they couldn't believe they had come back to life like this.
Iron Hail looked at the two dazed individuals in front of him, extended a hand, and patted their cheeks, expressionless: "Now is not the time for you to lament. The war is still going on, our comrades are still fighting, so you two better pull yourselves together!"
The force with which Iron Hail patted their cheeks was neither too hard nor too soft, producing a clear sound.
Yushishi and Mizuna were startled by Iron Hail's pats, but quickly reacted.
"That's right!"
"What are they doing?"
"This is a battlefield!"
"How can they be daydreaming on a battlefield?"
"They were extremely lucky to be saved by Haruki; was it just to stand around in a daze?"
"Sorry,"
Yushishi and Mizuna said guiltily.
Iron Hail shook his head, stood up, and looked at the distant battlefield: "We cannot stop for a moment!"
After Kuroai's words fell, he continued to go to the battlefield to save people.
Haruki looked at Iron Hail, Yushishi, and Mizuna in front of him, and said urgently: "It's still too slow."
The three of Iron Hail immediately looked at him.
Haruki stared at them, saying word by word: "Shinobi who are seriously injured are difficult to move in the first place, and while you're carrying them, you also have to guard against enemy attacks. This is too dangerous! And the efficiency is too low!"
Iron Hail instantly understood Haruki's idea.
He wanted to personally go deep into the core battlefield to save people.
"No!"
Iron Hail refused firmly without thinking.
Yushishi explained: "Rin, it's too dangerous there. You'll be attacked by the enemy."
Mizuna echoed Yushishi, advising: "Only if you are safe can they be rescued, so you must stay here."
Haruki's gaze swept over the three of them, the stubbornness in his eyes causing Iron Hail's brows to furrow.
"But this place has already been exposed!"
Haruki looked at Iron Hail: "Just now, there were Sand Shinobi who attacked me."
Iron Hail was unable to refute for a moment.
Haruki continued: "Moreover, there is no safe place on the battlefield."
Yushishi and Mizuna also had nothing to say.
Just as Haruki said, there is no safe place on the battlefield.
"You can protect me by my side!"
Haruki looked at them, his eyes full of trust: "I believe you can protect me well!"
Iron Hail clenched his fists.
His pupils were deep, and a struggle flashed in his eyes.
"If I can move freely, more Shinobi will survive!"
"I don't want to always be protected by everyone; I also want to become everyone's backing!"
Haruki's voice echoed in the minds of Iron Hail and the other two.
Iron Hail opened his mouth, he looked down at Haruki's resolute brows and eyes, his throat felt like it was blocked by a ball of cotton, and he couldn't say anything.
Yushishi and Mizuna's eyes stung.
"You are already everyone's backing!"
Yushishi stared at Haruki, saying seriously.
"But I still want more people to know that I can protect their lives and won't let them die on the battlefield."
Haruki's eyes sparkled with tears.
"The desire I have to protect everyone is the same as everyone's desire to protect Amegakure!"
"If someone dies without timely treatment, I will never forgive myself!"
He shouted towards the three of Iron Hail.
Iron Hail took a deep breath, his nose stinging.
"Ding!"
"The System detected Iron Hail's Affection Value +1000."
"Ding!"
"The System detected Yushishi's Affection Value +1000."
"Ding!"
"The System detected Mizuna's Affection Value +1000."
"Now that 3000 Affection Value has been collected, your companion Curse Power Rika Orimoto's Rank has increased to 50.3%."
"World, surrender to his personal charm!"
"...Isn't it surrendering to your acting skills?"
"{The System retracted a message}"
"Alright,"
Iron Hail's face was stern, but his nose and the corners of his eyes were red.
He looked at Haruki, not treating him as a child, but communicating with him as an equal adult: "We won't stop you from saving people, but you also shouldn't stop us from protecting you! Whatever we give, it's our own initiative, and we do it willingly!"
Yushishi and Mizuna nodded simultaneously.
The gazes of the three of them fell on Haruki, carrying quite a bit of weight.
Haruki nodded: "Okay!"
Iron Hail leaned against the rock, shielding Haruki in front, while Yushishi and Mizuna were positioned to the left and right behind Haruki.
The three of them formed a triangle, protecting Haruki in the center.
"Let's go."
Iron Hail crouched low and walked forward.
Without the cover of the rocks, the heat waves and shockwaves from the battle rushed towards them.
Iron Hail's tall figure blocked everything for Haruki.
Splashing debris hit the bodies of Iron Hail and the other two, but they didn't make a sound.
"That's a Shinobi from our Amegakure!"
Haruki suddenly saw something and quickly ran towards a nearby spot.
The three of Iron Hail stayed closely around him.
The Rain Shinobi lay on the ground, blood continuously spreading from his waist and abdomen, like a red lake.
Haruki knelt in the bloody mud, and a vibrant green light illuminated in his hands.
The upper body of the Rain Shinobi in front of him was almost severed.
He felt something, opened his eyes, and with a dim gaze, looked at Haruki, spitting out a few words: "Don't… waste… Chakra… I can't be saved…"
He knew his own body well.
Even if a deity came, it would be impossible to save his life.
"I will definitely save you!"
"I will!"
The green light in Haruki's hand slowly repaired the Rain Shinobi's wounds.
The negative energy remaining in the Shinobi's wounds was gradually being converted by Haruki's Curse Power.
Tears sparkled in the Rain Shinobi's eyes.
He thought, "Don't take risks for me, a dying man!"
"Ding!"
"The System detected Muteki's Gratitude Value +5000."
"Ding!"
"Your Curse Power Land God Rank has increased to 53%."
"War is truly a good place!"
Two days' progress far exceeded Haruki's progress in the wooden house for a month.
How could he bear to leave the battlefield?
The terrifying sword wound on the Rain Shinobi Muteki's upper body, which had almost cut him in half, gradually healed under the gaze of Iron Hail and the other two.
The gazes of Iron Hail and the other two fell on Haruki.
They didn't believe this was Medical Ninjutsu!
This was a miracle created by Haruki!
