CHAPTER 139: HARUKI-SENSEI

Haruki and the others left Kikyogahara and embarked on a new journey. No one complained of tiredness along the way, a shared dream in their hearts propelled them forward.

"Haruki, what did you learn from Hanzo?" Yahiko leaned closer to Haruki and whispered into his ear.

Ever since he learned that Hanzo was Haruki’s teacher, he couldn’t help but wonder what Ninjutsu Hanzo had taught Haruki.

Hanzo is Haruki’s sensei?

No matter how Yahiko imagined it, he couldn’t picture Hanzo guiding Haruki in Ninjutsu.

He felt that Hanzo must be extremely strict. Hanzo definitely isn’t as good as Jiraiya-sensei. Jiraiya-sensei was so gentle when he taught them Ninjutsu.

Jiraiya-sensei...

Yahiko missed Jiraiya.

"I learned a lot of Ninjutsu." Haruki nodded seriously.

He possessed copy. With Rika at max level, he could copy all Ninjutsu. He had basically finished copying Hanzo’s arsenal of Ninjutsu. Of course, Hanzo’s poisons were impossible to copy.

Haruki decided that after Hanzo’s death, he would curse him and make him join his Cursed Spirit army.

At the same time, he also needed to get Hanzo’s hair.

Once Hanzo is thoroughly dead, when he needs him, he will bring Hanzo back and have him help with the poisoning. He believed Hanzo would be willing.

Hanzo was a righteous person, and besides, he was Hanzo’s only student.

The sole heir!

Haruki turned his head and saw Yahiko’s sparkling eyes, full of anticipation as he looked at Haruki.

"Most of it is Water Release Ninjutsu." Haruki added.

Haruki remembered that Yahiko was also skilled in Water Release Ninjutsu.

In the original storyline, Jiraiya stayed in the seaside cabin for three years and taught Yahiko and the other two a lot of knowledge.

But now, with Haruki’s arrival, the war in the Land of Rain ended early, Jiraiya left early, and Yahiko and the others only received about a year and a half of Ninjutsu instruction.

Their current strength was barely enough for self-preservation, far from their strength in the original plot.

It seems he has to find a way to make them stronger.

Besides Hanzo, Haruki had also copied many Ninjutsu from the Ame ninjas. He knew Ninjutsu of various attributes. It could be said that Haruki himself was a comprehensive Ninjutsu encyclopedia.

"Yahiko, How about I teach you Ninjutsu?" Haruki suggested.

What Jiraiya didn’t have time to teach Yahiko and the others, he would teach. Jiraiya didn’t even know as many Ninjutsu as he did.

Now Haruki’s total Cursed Energy was quite large, and the effectiveness of his Ninjutsu was very great. He considered himself capable enough to be Yahiko and the others’ teacher.

Yahiko froze in place, looking at Haruki. "Teach us Ninjutsu?"

But Haruki is younger than all of them!

Yahiko looked at Konan and Nagato in confusion.

Nagato looked at Haruki.

Haruki explained, "I learned a lot of Ninjutsu from Hanzo-sama, and I also learned various Ninjutsu from the Ame ninjas. I also mastered many Ninjutsu during the battle with the Sunagakure ninjas, so I should be able to teach you."

To prevent Yahiko and the others from confusing whether the teacher he referred to was Hanzo or Jiraiya, Haruki simply reverted to his previous address for Hanzo.

"Our next mission is very dangerous. Not every ninja is as kind as Himura, and we will definitely not be able to avoid fighting with ninjas."

"I care about you all very much, and I don’t want you to get hurt."

Haruki pursed his lips and lowered his head, feeling a bit embarrassed.

[Ding!]

[System detected Nagato’s affection value +5000]

[Ding!]

[System detected Yahiko’s affection value +5000]

[Ding!]

[System detected Konan’s affection value +5000]

Yahiko looked at Haruki with sparkling eyes and agreed without hesitation, "Okay. I also care about you very much, and I don’t want you to worry."

Haruki: "..."

Yahiko and Naruto are indeed straight-shooting kings of talk.

Nagato nodded seriously. "I will protect everyone."

Haruki smiled. "I will also protect everyone, but I still hope that each of us can become stronger. We’ll train while achieving our ideals."

"Mmm." Konan nodded vigorously.

She blinked at Haruki. "Haruki! Then please take care of us from now on."

Haruki smiled, holding Konan and Nagato’s hands. "We will get stronger and stronger."

"Mmm."

Nagato and Konan seemed to feel the power emanating from him.

"Haruki! I want to learn the strongest Ninjutsu." Yahiko shouted, hugging Haruki’s neck.

"Okay." Haruki nodded.

"Me too." Konan joined in the fun.

Haruki: "..."

What Ninjutsu would Konan learn?

"Me too." Nagato pursed his lips.

He not only wanted to learn Ninjutsu, but he also wanted to gradually master the power of his eyes. He wanted to use this power to protect Haruki.

To protect everyone!

"..."

Even Nagato has become cheerful.

Haruki could see that everything was developing in a good direction. Unfortunately, happiness, like the name Akatsuki, is fleeting and easily vanishes.

"So, what Ninjutsu should we learn first?" Haruki pondered.

"Water Release: Great Waterfall Jutsu?"

"Water Release: Water Severing Wave?"

"Water Release: Water Prison Jutsu?"

"..."

The ninjas of Amegakure were more skilled in Water Release Ninjutsu compared to other attribute Ninjutsu. He had copied many Water Release Ninjutsu from them.

"So many! I want to learn them all!" Yahiko shouted happily.

Konan watched Yahiko and Haruki’s backs as they walked ahead, a slow smile gracing her lips, her eyes gentle.

Nagato walked beside her, also smiling. He couldn’t help but touch his eyes.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a weight on his shoulder. Haruki had put his arm around his shoulder.

He smiled at Nagato. "Nagato, I haven’t told you yet, I can already control my Curse power."

Haruki had to make Nagato start using the Rinnegan’s power as soon as possible. That way, he could copy the Rinnegan’s abilities.

Who wouldn’t be captivated by the Rinnegan’s abilities?

He had long been tempted.

Nagato was stunned. He remembered that Haruki was as resistant to the power of curses as he was to the power of his eyes. They both feared that this uncontrollable power would harm others. Therefore, Nagato felt that the person who understood him best was Haruki. The person who could empathize with him the most was also Haruki.

But now, Haruki said he had already mastered Curse power.
