Hanayu Has a Special Bloodline? The Miserable Hashira

"I'm fine!"

Senju Hanayu spoke timidly, but her eyes had grown a little moist.

Over the years, aside from her brother, no one had ever cared about her.

"You call this fine? I think your ribs are broken!" Xuan Yu looked at Senju Hanayu's pale face and pulled her toward the Medical Room in central Konoha. "You have to see a doctor!"

If it had been Xuan Yu himself, broken ribs might have healed within two days. If he went all out with Nurturing Spirit · Great Chiliocosm, he could recover even faster.

But for an ordinary civilian, recovering from such a rib injury would take at least two months.

"I-I don't have any money!" Senju Hanayu still spoke meekly, unwilling to go to the hospital.

She had wandered the civilian district with her brother for years. How could they have had money to see a doctor?

"When you're with this young master, when have I ever made someone else pay?" Xuan Yu said with great flair, taking her little hand and leading her forward without giving Hanayu any chance to resist.

Hanayu's cheeks immediately flushed crimson.

In fact, there had only ever been two outsiders who had eaten with Xuan Yu—Hinata Hyuga and Might Guy. Uchiha Izumi counted as half of one.

On the way, they ran into Uchiha Kai, and Xuan Yu had him pass along a message. "Uncle Kai, tell my dad and mom that I'm taking Hanayu to the Konoha Medical Clinic for treatment, so I won't be going back!"

Xuan Yu carefully led Senju Hanayu toward the hospital while asking what had happened.

When he learned that Sarutobi Asuma, the newly appointed police chief, had been the one to act, he could not help but snort. "Hmph, they use excessive violence as an excuse to attack the Uchiha Police Force, yet they have no self-awareness at all. Not only did they use violence, they even took someone away. He let the bad guy go. How ridiculous!"

It seemed Konoha's darkness was far more than just the tip of the iceberg—it had already seeped into every corner.

At this rate, Konoha would collapse sooner or later.

As they chatted, Xuan Yu brought Hanayu to Konoha Hospital. After walking for so long, Hanayu's abdomen hurt terribly, so Xuan Yu could only carry her delicate little body forward.

Because of years of hunger, the seven-year-old girl was only slightly taller than Xuan Yu. Carrying her was effortless.

"Stop right there. Civilians go to the civilian hospital across the street!" Just as he was about to enter, someone outside stopped him and pointed toward a rather rundown hospital opposite them.

The building was dilapidated, and its medical care was probably terribly lacking as well!

For the first time, Xuan Yu felt the difference in Konoha's class treatment. Civilians were only fit to enter that sort of broken-down hospital, while only shinobi or members of great clans could enter high-class hospitals.

Heh. Ridiculous. Truly ridiculous.

"Move aside. My father is Uchiha Hanjō. Hurry up and get out of the way!" Xuan Yu glared at the person blocking him and shouted angrily, using his status to oppress someone for the first time.

"Let's go across the street. Whenever I got sick before, my brother would take me to the hospital over there," Senju Hanayu said softly.

"With me here, you don't need to worry about it." Uchiha Xuan Yu comforted Senju Hanayu, then raised his head to look at the man, who still had not moved. "Move."

Double Pupils?

The man blocking the way saw those Double Pupils and immediately confirmed Xuan Yu's identity.

He reluctantly stepped aside.

After entering the hospital, Xuan Yu used his status to have a doctor set Senju Hanayu's bones, then arranged a private room for her.

"You've already been treated. Let's leave!" It was already dark. Looking at the luxurious room, Hanayu still wanted to leave. How much would just one night here cost?

But as soon as the words left her mouth, Xuan Yu stopped her.

He told her to rest properly there. During that time, Xuan Yu's mother also came with a lunchbox. After hearing about Hanayu's experiences, she felt heartbroken. "Hanayu, we're both from the Senju Clan. Stay with us from now on. Xiao Yu needs a playmate too!"

She also promised that first thing tomorrow morning, she would send someone to the Sarutobi Police Force to demand the person back, and told Senju Hanayu to rest well.

And so it was.

Xuan Yu rested there for the night.

Early morning!

Xuan Yu looked at the sleeping Hanayu, straightened his clothes, and continued his run around Konoha.

But after running more than a dozen laps, he stopped at a breakfast stall, bought some food, and headed toward the hospital.

"Xuan Yu, kid, want to have a fight? I'll give you some pointers!" Might Guy had seen Xuan Yu running more than a dozen laps without saying a word. Now that Xuan Yu was about to leave, he could not help but call out.

"Another day. I have something to do!" Xuan Yu waved his hand and left.

Might Guy was left standing there with a gloomy expression. Normally, Xuan Yu's eyes would light up whenever he heard about a spar. What was wrong with him today?

Inside the hospital room...

"Xuan Yu, you're back!" Senju Hanayu had already woken up, but seeing no one in the enormous medical room, she had grown a little frightened. She had no idea where everyone had gone, so she could only wait obediently in bed.

Only when she saw Xuan Yu return did her eyes light up.

"I bought some food. You must be hungry." Xuan Yu placed the breakfast on the table and gestured for Hanayu to eat.

As Hanayu ate, tears began to stream down her face again.

"You're so good to me... I don't know..." Hanayu did not even know how she could repay Xuan Yu.

"Want to repay me? Then after your injuries heal, be my follower!" Xuan Yu put on the air of a little adult, rubbing Hanayu's small head as he spoke solemnly.

Mm-hmm!

Senju Hanayu clutched the food in her hands tightly and silently nodded.

Xuanyu took the opportunity to use the Byakugan's ability to examine little Hua Yu's injuries.

Huh.

A trace of surprise appeared on his face. Little Hua Yu's ribs were actually recovering rapidly; by now, a third had already healed. At this rate, Hua Yu would recover from her injuries in less than three days.

A faint green glow still flickered around the fractured ribs.

Could Hua Yu have a special constitution?

Right... if she did not have a special constitution, how could she recover so quickly?

It seemed he had picked up a treasure.

In the Naruto World, people with special constitutions were exceedingly rare. She might prove very useful in the future.

Had he not come to this world, Hua Yu might have remained overlooked. But now, she had met him.

"Doctor, push the injured person into this room!" Just then, Xuanyu heard commotion outside the ward. It was noisy, yet somewhat familiar.

Before he could go take a look, the ward door was pushed open.

The doctor wheeled in an unconscious person wrapped head to toe in bandages.

Since even the person's face was covered in bandages, Xuanyu did not recognize who the patient was at first. But he knew the ninja following behind—Uchiha Xia.

His mother was behind him as well!

Why had they all come here?

A bad feeling rose faintly within him. Had his father been attacked?

"Mom? What happened?" Xuanyu looked curiously at his mother and Uchiha Xia.

Senju Suyu Ji said nothing, merely turning her gaze toward Uchiha Xia.

Uchiha Xia sighed. He glanced at little Hua Yu beside him before saying, "This is someone I just got back from the Sarutobi Police Force—Hashira!"

Huh?

Hashira?

Xuanyu was momentarily stunned upon hearing that. As far as he knew, the Uchiha Clan member called Hashira was Fugaku's second son, Sasuke!

No, wait—Hashira. Xuanyu remembered that Hua Yu's Brother also seemed to be called Hashira, and he worked in the police force.

"Brother..." When Hua Yu saw the unconscious person wrapped in bandages, she tried to rush over to see whether it was her brother.

Xuanyu quickly stopped her. "He's fine. Calm down first—don't delay the doctor from treating your brother!"

It's not that I'm padding the word count. These two siblings will be very useful in the future, so I hope you all understand!!
