Shiratori Rin, who seemed to have lost his Soul, suddenly shivered.
His pupils stiffly rotated.
"It's not finished yet…"
He muttered to himself.
Shiratori Rin continued to turn, a green light glowing in his hand.
Only when the Ninja's last wound healed did he withdraw his hand, collapsing onto the ground, his face pale.
The Ninja looked at his healed wounds, then at Shiratori Rin.
This child was so frightened, yet he still remembered to heal him…
"Ding!"
"The System detected 1000 gratitude points from Lian."
"10,000 gratitude points have now been collected, activating Curse Spirit No. 003 — Cursed Jizo · Land God."
"Land God (10%)"
Shiratori Rin had an impression of this Curse Spirit.
Mainly because its ability was too special.
Instant Death Gaze — As long as the target is gazed upon by the Land God's pupils, the target will begin to rot from within within 10 seconds, ultimately dying.
"Lord Hanzou…"
Shiratori Rin opened his mouth, a bright light quickly appearing in his pupils as he stared intently at Hanzou: "Lord Hanzou is amazing! Thank you, Lord Hanzou, for saving me!"
Under Shiratori Rin's adoring gaze, Hanzou's heart instantly softened.
"Rin, were you scared? Rest for a while!"
Two Medical Ninja walked up to Shiratori Rin, one touching Shiratori Rin's forehead, the other checking if Shiratori Rin's back of the neck was injured, as if they wanted to hold Shiratori Rin in their palms.
Shiratori Rin's face returned to normal. He smiled at the two Medical Ninja, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "I want to become a powerful Ninja like Lord Hanzou! I won't be easily scared!"
The two Medical Ninja were startled.
A smile appeared in Hanzou's eyes.
"Good!"
"I believe in you!"
Hanzou encouragingly patted Shiratori Rin's shoulder.
Looking at Shiratori Rin, an idea formed in Hanzou's mind.
Shiratori Rin could master Medical Ninjutsu at such a young age, so mastering other Ninjutsu should not be difficult either.
Shiratori Rin could not be left without the power to protect himself.
"I still want to continue saving everyone!"
Shiratori Rin said firmly.
No matter how the Medical Ninja tried to persuade him, he did not stop to rest.
The number of Ninja he healed increased, and the gratitude points he collected also increased.
In just one day, the Land God's Rank had already risen to 35%.
Shiratori Rin believed that if this continued, the Land God's Rank would definitely be the fastest to reach 100%.
As long as the war continued, Ninja would constantly be injured.
Gratitude points would also continuously flow to Shiratori Rin.
However, Shiratori Rin was not content with just absorbing gratitude points.
When night completely enveloped Amegakure, Shiratori Rin stopped what he was doing.
Let's collect gratitude points up to here for today!
After all, his Curse Power was also limited.
Although the activation and upgrade of Choso and Land God had given him a lot of Curse Power, he would still get tired from continuously using Reverse Technique.
"Come, I'll take you to a place to rest."
Hanzou said to Shiratori Rin.
Shiratori Rin nodded.
He followed Hanzou, leaving the Iron Tower and coming to the street.
As night fell, warm yellow lights lit up on the street, and the road was no longer empty.
The Ninja on the street saw Hanzou, their eyes full of reverence: "Lord Hanzou!"
Hanzou nodded to them.
He could feel Shiratori Rin's burning gaze beside him.
"What's wrong?"
Hanzou looked at him and asked.
Shiratori Rin's eyes glowed: "Lord Hanzou, can I learn Ninjutsu from you?"
Hanzou was startled, he looked at Shiratori Rin seriously.
Even if Shiratori Rin didn't say it, he had already planned to let Shiratori Rin follow him to learn Ninjutsu.
Too many Ninja had died in the war, and the Village's next generation of Ninja needed to grow up.
After a full day of observation today, he was very satisfied with Shiratori Rin.
This child was too much like him.
Resilient, kind, brave, and loved the Village.
"Ding!"
"The System detected 1000 nostalgia points from Hanzou."
"Ding!"
"Your Curse Spirit Choso's Rank has risen to 17%."
"Why?"
Hanzou asked.
He wanted to know Shiratori Rin's thoughts.
"My power can heal them, but it cannot protect them."
Shiratori Rin gave Hanzou an unexpected answer.
Hanzou was startled.
Shiratori Rin, as if unaware of his reaction, was immersed in his own world and slowly said: "I want to be like Lord Hanzou, to have the power to protect the Village. If I had been as strong as Lord Hanzou then, my mom and dad wouldn't have died. I don't want the people in the Village to shed painful tears like I did then."
Hanzou saw his reddened eyes, tears welling up in them.
Shiratori Rin sniffled, forcing the tears back into his eyes.
Hanzou's heart was like a water-soaked sponge, becoming wet and heavy, constantly sinking in his chest.
"Okay."
Hanzou nodded, he reminded: "Learning Ninjutsu with me will be very hard! I will guide you strictly!"
A surprised smile appeared on Shiratori Rin's face: "I'm not afraid of hardship!"
A hint of satisfaction flashed in Hanzou's eyes.
The accommodation Hanzou arranged for Shiratori Rin was right next to Hanzou's.
Shiratori Rin looked at the standard single apartment in front of him, Hanzou at this time was truly incorruptible!
It was impossible to imagine that Hanzou would later get lost in power and wealth.
"Rest well."
Hanzou said to Shiratori Rin.
"Tomorrow morning at five o'clock, start learning Ninjutsu with me."
Five… five o'clock?
Shiratori Rin swallowed, he nodded heavily under Hanzou's scrutinizing gaze: "I understand! Lord Hanzou!"
Hanzou turned and left.
Shiratori Rin stood at the door, watching Hanzou open the door to the single apartment next door, his figure disappearing behind the door.
Only then did he return to his own room and close the door.
Sitting on the tatami in the narrow living room, Shiratori Rin immediately opened his information page.

Hmm?
Shiratori Rin called out to the System in his mind: "Clip! Didn't my Reverse Technique already activate?"
Has the System not had time to update yet?
"Dear, please clarify ~"
"You activated Ieiri Shoko's imitable Reverse Technique, not your body's inherent Reverse Technique ~"
Shiratori Rin was expressionless: "What's the difference?"
"Hmm…"
"Dear, the Reverse Technique you activated can only heal others ~"
