"Yo! You're awake."

As soon as Haku opened his eyes, he heard a teasing voice.

"Not bad! You were pretty fierce yesterday, fighting and killing the enemy despite your injuries. You've got some real resolve. I approve, for now."

Uchiha Yu looked at Haku, who had woken up, and left after saying that.

"What's this?"

Haku only remembered collapsing from exhaustion after killing the enemy ninja yesterday. The figure he saw afterward must have been Uchiha Yu.

It seemed she was quite strong, at least stronger than she let on. And that flash of crimson? Well, if she didn't mention it, he wouldn't pretend to know.

"Kid, not bad. You didn't disgrace the Might Family. Much better than that Duy kid. This is what youth is all about!"

He said this while giving Haku a thumbs-up, revealing his sparkling white teeth.

He then casually hugged Might Duy, who was beside him, and burst into tears.

"Father, this is Haku blooming with youth! I want to bloom with youth like Haku too!"

Might Duy also said this while crying.

Watching the father and son cry, Haku fell silent once more. He hoped he wouldn't be assimilated by these two in the future. Haku directly interrupted their exclamations about youth.

"Ahem! Uh, I feel like I'm fine now. Can I be discharged from the hospital? Call a doctor to check me over, and let's go home! I should be going to school today."

"Oh, right. I remember I was quite badly injured yesterday. I'm already healed. Did a Medical Ninja treat me?"

"I heard that kid from the Uchiha family say that when she was taking you to the hospital, she ran into Tsunade's squad, and Tsunade treated you."

Guy heard Haku's questions and told him what he knew.

Tsunade, huh? A Medical Ninja. It seems I'll need to learn some Healing Ninjutsu in the future. And with my increasingly strong physique, I should have Yang Release chakra, right?

Besides, I guess I have some connection with their squad now. Whether I learn Healing Ninjutsu from Tsunade or get "scientific" treatment from Orochimaru later, it should be feasible.

Upon returning home, Guy explained why he was at the hospital.

After returning to the village from a mission, Might Guy heard that Haku was injured. He rushed to Konoha Hospital immediately, where he happened to meet Uchiha Yu, who was taking care of Haku. He learned the general course of events from her.

As for Duy, he saw that Haku hadn't returned yesterday and worried something might have happened, so he followed the direction Haku had left in.

Then he encountered Uchiha Yu, who was taking Haku and Hyuga Riko away from the forest. In the end, Duy took Hyuga Riko home.

After learning everything that happened after he fainted yesterday from the two of them, Haku began to consider the aftermath.

Yesterday, there was clearly an Enemy Village Spy involved. This matter is actually quite serious, and they even encountered Tsunade and her team on the way. If they tried to conceal it, it probably wouldn't work.

This means his true strength would likely be difficult to hide any longer and would soon be exposed for all to see. At the young age of 6, he had already become a Genin. Even in Konoha's current era, filled with talented individuals and hidden dragons, he could absolutely be considered a formidable young prodigy! This would surely attract the attention of the Third Hokage—Hiruzen Sarutobi! He wondered if he had already mastered that mysterious "Telescope Technique" by now. If he had indeed learned such a powerful skill, then perhaps he would have to exercise some restraint during certain special training sessions in the future.

Furthermore, Uchiha Yu's situation was also worthy of deep investigation. If he wasn't mistaken, what she displayed yesterday was undoubtedly the legendary Sharingan! To awaken the Sharingan at just 6 years old was undoubtedly another exceptionally gifted prodigy! However, it was puzzling that the Uchiha clan would allow her to enter the Ninja Academy for education. There must be some unknown circumstances behind this. As for Tsunade, it seemed he would need to devise a plausible explanation beforehand; and regarding the Hokage, perhaps it would be necessary to preach the so-called "Will of Fire" to him...

After considering all the possibilities, Haku asked Duy to request a day off from school for him, and then he went out himself to the place where he had left his Weighted Training Bracers yesterday.

When Uchiha Yu left, she had quietly left him a coded message, saying she would wait for him there. It seemed Uchiha Yu also wanted to coordinate their stories.

Arriving at yesterday's location, he indeed saw a figure in black standing there, holding Haku's bracers and staring at the ground, lost in thought.

Seeing that Uchiha Yu hadn't noticed his arrival, Haku stopped and did not approach.
