By then, Gekko Hayate had been thoroughly frightened by Ruri, his body trembling nonstop. He had never imagined Ruri would be so powerful. It was completely beyond his imagination.
"The Third Hokage just gave orders for you to head to the battlefield in the next few days. For Konoha's sake, I won't kill you! You'd better watch yourselves..." With that, Ruri stepped straight over Gekko Hayate, pulled his hands out of his trouser pockets, and slowly walked away, paying no further attention to anyone else.
Uzuki Yugao, who had been watching the fight from the side, looked at Gekko Hayate on the ground and sighed deeply. "Hayate, take some time to reflect on yourself!"
With that, Uzuki Yugao hurried after Ruri.
Lying on the ground, Gekko Hayate watched Uzuki Yugao run after Ruri and shouted furiously, "Damn it! Aah..."
"Ruri, wait for me! I have something to tell you!" Uzuki Yugao called out when she spotted Ruri.
Hearing Tsuki Yugao's call, Ruri stopped, turned around, and waved to her.
"Yugao, did you need something?" Ruri asked once Uzuki Yugao reached him.
"Are you hurt?" Uzuki Yugao asked Ruri worriedly.
Ruri looked at Uzuki Yugao with a smile. "I'm fine, Yugao! I'm not hurt. I'm pretty sturdy!"
"Mm, as long as you're not hurt. I came to apologize on Hayate's behalf. That's just the kind of person he is! Don't take it to heart!" Uzuki Yugao said, looking at Ruri.
"I understand, Yugao! I didn't take it to heart! Besides, they were the ones who came off worse in that fight!" Ruri said with a smile, scratching his head.
"Hehe, thank you, Ruri. If there's nothing else, I'll be going! You should hurry home too!" Uzuki Yugao said to Ruri.
Ruri smiled and nodded. "All right, Yugao! I'm heading home! Goodbye!"
