Naruto: Transmigrating With Yuta's Template-Chapter 198: Haruki: I Am a Good Person

"That's the battlefield between Iwagakure and Konoha. What's so good about a battlefield?"

Before Haruki could answer, Aoki spoke repeatedly, agitated and somewhat incoherent.

Aoki's pupils dilated, and red blood vessels burst forth in his eyes.

"Haven't you ever seen a battlefield? There's nothing good about a place like that." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

As Aoki spoke, the image of the battlefield involuntarily appeared in his mind. Blood, corpses, severed limbs, weapons… all he saw was blood and corpses.

The battlefield was hell!

It was the hell Aoki desperately wanted to escape. But the place he was trying so hard to leave, Haruki actually wanted to go see?

"It's too dangerous on the battlefield."

Seemingly realizing his over-excitement, Aoki took a deep breath, trying to calm himself.

He looked at Haruki and earnestly advised, "Any attack on the battlefield could take our lives. Don't go, it's really dangerous."

A hint of urgency appeared in his eyes. He was worried about the dangerous thought that had formed in Haruki's mind. He tried his best to dispel Haruki's absurd idea of approaching the battlefield.

Nagato stood up. He looked at Haruki, saying nothing. His Rinnegan clearly reflected Haruki's figure, his gaze firm, yet it seemed to say everything.

Haruki looked at Aoki and nodded affirmatively. "I know the dangers of going to the battlefield now, but I must go."

For the sake of emotional value, charge!!!

Haruki's gaze scanned back and forth between Aoki and Nagato. He said, "Don't worry, I'll definitely be back before dawn."

Aoki immediately felt a splitting headache.

No!

Haruki cannot leave alone!

What if… what if he dies?

Too dangerous!

The battlefield is simply too dangerous!

Haruki cannot die!

Nagato cannot die either!

Even if he died, those two could not die!

If they died, this world full of war would truly have no hope!

Aoki clutched his forehead, a strange, low voice echoing in his mind.

Just then, Nagato took a few steps towards Haruki, standing beside him. His gaze was calm yet resolute, his Rinnegan shimmering with unquestioning support for Haruki.

"I'll go with you."

Haruki: "..."

He looked at Nagato and patted Nagato's shoulder.

Although Nagato following him would somewhat affect his performance, the impact wasn't significant, and it could also provide him with additional emotional value. Bringing him along was fine.

"You two are really being reckless." Aoki looked helplessly at Haruki and Nagato standing by the door.

Haruki said to Aoki, "Then Aoki, stay here and wait for us."

Aoki's eyes widened. His gaze shifted back and forth between Nagato and Haruki. He hadn't expected Nagato, who seemed quiet, to be so bold.

Nagato didn't look at Aoki. To him, Aoki was like a slightly familiar stranger, and he didn't care about his reaction at all.

Nagato's gaze fell on Haruki, and he said firmly, "Wherever Haruki goes, I go."

Nagato's attitude made Haruki slightly stunned. He looked at Nagato with a complex gaze.

Aoki looked at the two standing side-by-side. He opened his mouth, and a flood of dissuading words clogged his throat.

He knew these two youths were serious, and he also knew that no matter how much he tried to persuade them, it would be useless.

He lowered his head, a complex light flickering in his eyes.

Should he go back again?

Back to that terrifying battlefield.

But… if he didn't go back, what if Haruki and Nagato encountered danger?

Aoki's eyes were filled with conflict.

That man's words echoed in Aoki's mind again. The fear and conflict in his eyes gradually gave way to determination.

No!

This world has not yet ushered in permanent peace, and neither Haruki nor Nagato can die.

"I'll go with you two." Aoki abruptly threw off his blanket, his voice firm.

Without waiting for Haruki's answer, he quickly put on his shoes and checked his ninja tool pouch.

Haruki's gaze shifted from Aoki. He nodded, slung the long sword from the head of the bed onto his back, and promised, "Don't worry. I'll protect you two. Nothing will happen to you."

Promises, for Haruki, came easily, without any technical difficulty.

Haruki's face held a sincere smile. Even in the darkness of night, one could feel the weight of his promise.

Aoki lowered his head, his fingers trembling.

After getting ready, Haruki and the others walked to the door, took a deep breath, and gently pulled it open.

Outside the door, the night sky at the end of the corridor was dyed a strange bright orange by the intense flashes of fire that occasionally lit up, and a low rumble continuously echoed.

The town remained silent.

The figures of Haruki and his two companions disappeared into the night.

"Be careful." Aoki lowered his voice.

His eyes were full of vigilance, his muscles tensed, ready to act.

"Remember, living is the most important thing. Only by living can we do more." Aoki stared at Haruki as he spoke.

He seemed to have decided that Haruki was someone who acted impulsively.

Haruki smiled and nodded at Aoki.

The three of them silently passed through the quiet town. Their footsteps made no sound. The distant firelight on the horizon illuminated their pupils.

Aoki heard his own rapidly beating heart. He was expressionless, his eyes scanning like searchlights.

Nagato followed beside Haruki, his peripheral vision falling on Haruki's face.

What did Haruki want to do by going to the battlefield?

Even if Haruki was very strong, he couldn't stop a war.

Haruki's breathing remained steady. As soon as he thought about being able to collect emotional value again, he became incredibly excited.

Although his true purpose was to collect emotional value, he did indeed help others, didn't he?

A gentleman judges by actions, not by intentions!

He really was a good person!
