Naruto: Transmigrating With Yuta's Template-Chapter 196: Haruki Is Popular

"Hanzo-sama?" Yushi looked at Hanzo, who had suddenly fallen into a daze, and asked.

He observed Hanzo's expression, and suddenly something flashed through his mind. He smiled and asked, "Are you thinking of Haruki?"

Hanzo snapped back to reality. He walked to the window, looked out at the training ground, and nodded.

The scene of Haruki training with the students on the training ground involuntarily appeared in his mind.

"I'm thinking, when Haruki returns and sees Amegakure as it is now, he will definitely be greatly surprised."

Thinking of that scene, a smile appeared in Hanzo's eyes.

Yushi came to Hanzo's side and looked at the training ground outside the window with Hanzo. He nodded. "Yes. Haruki will definitely be very happy to see this. I wonder how he is doing now."

Yushi suddenly changed the subject. He looked at Hanzo and said, "The recent riots in the Land of Rain have decreased significantly. Even the border, such a chaotic place, has quieted down a lot. It's clear how much effort Haruki has put in."

Hanzo nodded in satisfaction, a look of pride flashing in his eyes. "Yes. When I entrusted him with such an important task, I was worried he would get hurt. His strength is fine, but his heart is too soft, and I was afraid he would be deceived. Now it seems he has completed the mission very well."

Yushi also smiled. His eyes lit up, and he suggested, "When Haruki returns to Amegakure, we can let him guide students in learning Ninjutsu."

Hanzo nodded. "We can try."

Although Haruki's talent is great, the talent for learning Ninjutsu and the talent for teaching Ninjutsu are not the same. So, it still needs to be tested.

Hanzo and Yushi walked out of the teaching building and came to the training ground, which was currently under construction.

Ninjas were installing various training facilities, such as wooden stakes, targets, climbing walls, and so on.

"Are the enrolled students counted?" Hanzo asked on the way out of the school.

Yushi was well-prepared. After a brief thought, he immediately replied, "There are approximately three hundred age-appropriate children, including post-war orphans. According to your requirements, all children will receive basic cultural education, not just ninja skills. Teachers are currently planned to be ninjas who survived the battlefield, which can not only alleviate their mental pressure but also impart more useful knowledge to the students."

The sun in the Land of Rain is rarer than rain. After only half a day of clear skies, the sun in the sky began to set, and dark clouds gathered once more.

Hanzo looked up at the sky, where dark clouds continued to gather.

Sunny days are always short-lived. But they had learned to walk in the rain, and even gain strength from it.

Hanzo took one last look at the children chasing and playing in the street, then turned and walked towards the iron tower in the center of the village.

Raindrops began to fall, first a few scattered drops, then gradually intensifying.

People on the street were not in a hurry to take shelter from the rain but continued their activities, simply putting on straw cloaks or opening umbrellas. The people of the Land of Rain had long been accustomed to sudden rain.

A little girl stood under the eaves, staring blankly at the rain curtain. She was about six or seven years old, the age when she should be going to school.

Hanzo involuntarily stopped. He found this little girl familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before.

Hanzo asked, "Didn't bring an umbrella?"

His voice, filtered through the respirator, inexplicably sounded cold but the girl was not afraid.

She looked up at Hanzo and slowly shook her head. "Grandma said children of the Land of Rain are not afraid of rain."

Hanzo nodded gently. "Your grandma is right. What's your name?"

"Aoi."

The girl said with certainty, "You are Hanzo-sama."

A hint of surprise flashed in Hanzo's eyes. "You know me?"

Aoi said, looking at Hanzo, "No one in the Land of Rain doesn't know Hanzo-sama."

Hanzo was stunned, then smiled. "If you're not afraid of rain, why are you hiding here?"

Aoi explained, "I'm not hiding from the rain, I'm watching the rain."

She bit her lip, looking at Hanzo, seemingly wanting to ask something, but hesitating to speak.

Hanzo took the initiative to ask, "What do you want to say?"

Aoi's eyes lit up. She eagerly asked, "Hanzo-sama, where did Haruki… big brother go? I haven't seen him since I came to Amegakure."

At this, Hanzo finally recalled where he had seen this girl named Aoi.

When they had just returned to Amegakure after a victorious battle, a group of refugees came to the center of Amegakure to scavenge for food. Among them was this little girl.

Haruki went on a mission as soon as he returned to the village, and no one knew his whereabouts except for the ninjas.

Hanzo said, "Haruki went on a mission."

Aoi quickly asked, "Then when will he be back?"

Hanzo shook his head and said, "His mission is very difficult. I don't know when he will be back."

A hint of disappointment flashed in Aoi's eyes. Her head drooped.

Hanzo changed his tone. "However, if you want to see him, you can enroll in the school. After becoming a ninja, you should see him often, and you might even become his subordinate and fight alongside him. Would you like to?"

The disappointment on Aoi's face immediately vanished. Her eyes sparkled, and she nodded vigorously. "I would!"

A smile flashed in Hanzo's eyes as he said, "Good."

Only after Aoi's figure disappeared into the rain did Yushi speak, "It seems Haruki is very popular."

There was a hint of mischief in his eyes.

Hanzo chuckled. "For school enrollment, use the same words we just used for promotion."

Yushi stifled a laugh and nodded. "Yes."

The well-known ninja in the Land of Rain are not only Hanzo but also Haruki, who turned the tide of battle on the battlefield.

Compared to the older Hanzo, Haruki, who is still a youth, has a stronger appeal to children.
