"I... I can help."
Karin, who was hiding behind Shiro, stretched out her arm crisply.
He looked at Haruma with a complicated expression and spoke.
At first, when Haruma violently dragged her back, Karin thought that these people also valued her physique.
When that person learned that she was from the Uzumaki Clan, she wasn't treated like a health pack by her former teammates.
She also met Sasuke, who had saved her in the Forest of Death.
Bai has been taking care of her these past two days.
Not only did he take care of her daily life, but he also taught her some Ninjutsu that were usually difficult for her to learn.
Karin, wanting to repay a debt of gratitude, simply believed that Haruma couldn't cure Rock Lee, which is why she stepped forward.
Haruma looked down at the faint bite marks still visible on Karin's slender, white forearm.
The fact that it hadn't disappeared after two days shows just how severe her teammate's attack was.
"Need not."
Haruma gently refused, then reached out and stroked Karin's forearm.
Karin felt a warm current spread from her forearm throughout her body, and the bite marks on her hand completely disappeared.
Even the neck, thighs...
The wounds on the rest of his body were also completely healed by this warm current.
Tears welled up in Karin's eyes, and she bit her lip, whispering, "Th-thank you."
Haruma shook her head and said softly to Karin, "You're welcome, let's go eat."
She wanted to maintain this kind of life and knew how to demonstrate her value.
Such progress in such a short time is already quite impressive.
This small amount of treatment was a reward from Haruma for her.
In other words, it was like Karin receiving an advance on her entire year's salary.
For the next few days, everyone's life was uneventful and routine.
The Collection Squad practices daily in the spacious training ground at their base.
Karin took on the important task of running errands, running to Konoha to pack various delicacies for each of her three meals a day.
Haruma even went so far as to claim that this was to help her cultivate her Taijutsu.
To make it seem plausible, Haruma even taught Karin a set of Tsunade's Super Strength Technique, as well as some C-rank Sealing Jutsu.
After all, Karin's true talent isn't passive healing.
Rather, it's the sealing talent and perception ability inherent in the Uzumaki Bloodline.
On Haruma, one should enjoy delicious food and a good night's sleep.
Zabuza had the misery of going to the Hokage Building every day to get everyone's meals reimbursed.
Although Zabuza really wanted to suggest changing the reimbursement time, he hesitated because of his boss's obsession with money...
Zabuza wouldn't dare to bring it up again.
A sunny day.
On Haruma when she was getting ready to go shopping, she called on the Team 7 representative to pay the bill.
On the streets of Konoha, Naruto warily eyed Haruma and shouted, "I don't have any money to pay this time!"
"Don't even think about trying to trick me into paying for your meal!"
Haruma tilted her head and said with a hint of regret, "I was thinking that since you're treating today, I'd teach you a powerful Ninjutsu."
"Too bad, I didn't expect Naruto to be so stingy with his wallet."
"Then let's forget about it."
With Haruma, Haru turned around and said to Karin, who was following beside her, "Let's go back and get some takeout."
"Yes, sir."
Karin pushed up her glasses, casting a disdainful glance at Naruto.
Then he turned around and followed Haruma.
"Wait a minute!"
Naruto shouted, then turned to Haruma's retreating figure and exclaimed, "Are you serious?!"
"I'm treating you to dinner today, will you teach me a powerful Ninjutsu?"
Although I was previously tricked into buying things using this tactic.
But after witnessing his performance in the Haruma preliminaries, Naruto felt that this explanation was much more plausible.
"Certainly."
Haruma paused in her steps, turned around, and smiled.
Naruto...
Sakura tugged at Naruto's sleeve from behind, glancing at her teammate who was already smitten.
Sakura reminded her, "You haven't forgotten, have you? This is the ninth time Haruma has used this move on you."
Naruto's expression became conflicted for a moment after hearing this.
Although the goddess's words made a lot of sense, there were still more than twenty days until the final battle with Sasuke.
Learning a powerful Ninjutsu could increase one's chances of winning.
Just then, Haruma's seductive voice came again. "It's a very powerful Ninjutsu."
It's a deal!
Having made up his mind, Naruto readily agreed!
Why,
This idiot is hopeless.
Sakura and Sai behind him both shook their heads.
Two hours later,
"It's all gone, there really isn't a single drop left..."
Naruto, on the verge of tears, shook his Xiaoqing.
Naruto's own frog wallet became empty.
Naruto also emptied the wallets of Sakura and Sai, who came with him.
"Belch,"
Haruma squinted and patted her belly, looking completely content.
Karin, who was following behind, also looked like she was stuffed.
Both hands were also full of large and small bags of clothing, gifts, and so on.
"You really can't lie to me this time!"
Naruto's resentful gaze made Haruma feel a chill run down her spine.
"Don't worry, don't worry."
"I definitely didn't trick you this time."
Haruma got up and left the store, with Naruto following closely behind Karin a step ahead.
He looked like he was afraid to run away on Haruma.
"You can't exactly demonstrate your Ninjutsu in the street, can you?"
Seeing Naruto's Naruto, Haruma soothed him, "Let's go, I'll take you to the training grounds."
"Okay, okay."
Seeing that Haruma had no intention of reneging on the agreement, Naruto nodded excitedly.
When they returned to their base with the three members of Team 7, they happened to run into Kakashi was looking at the Icha Icha Paradise" on the street.
Kakashi, having learned of the situation, followed along with Haruma's permission.
On Haruma people are taking a walk to digest their food, Kakashi's appearance was something they had already anticipated.
Where do so many coincidences come from?
Kakashi followed Naruto the entire time they met, but Haruma simply didn't expose him.
Kakashi, who was walking behind the group, frowned as he took the bags from Karin.
Naruto is not only the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, but also his student.
How could Kakashi not pay attention to meeting such a dangerous person as Haruma?
Not only Kakashi,
Under Sarutobi's arrangement, quite a few Anbu secretly protected Naruto during the Joint Chunin Exams.
Kakashi wouldn't have shown himself so easily if he hadn't seen that the group was heading towards the Uchiha Clan base.
After all, the current Uchiha Clan base is the headquarters of the Kirigakure team.
There are many experts inside; rather than trying to infiltrate, it's better to bump into someone like them.
When everyone arrived at the training ground at the base.
Kimimaro and the others stopped what they were doing when they saw Haruma arrive with Naruto's team.
Looking at the lingering smoke and the numerous craters on the ground.
The three Naruto were completely shocked.
After Karin stepped forward and explained Naruto and the others' purpose, the Debt Collection Team gave up the center of the training ground.
I freed up space for the boss to teach, and at the same time, I planned to secretly learn some useful tips from the sidelines.
Earth Release: Ryūjō.
Haruma a light tap of his toes, the dilapidated training ground was instantly transformed into a brand new place.
"Amazing!"
Naruto's eyes lit up at the sight of this move, but quickly dimmed again.
"Unfortunately, my Chakra nature isn't earth."
"There's only wind."
Haruma smiled calmly, "That's not the trick I'm going to teach you."
"The really powerful Ninjutsu I mentioned before happens to be a wind-style technique~"
"Yeah?!"
Upon hearing this, Naruto was overjoyed and urged Haruma, "Let me see!"
"Don't rush."
Haruma stretched out one hand and chuckled, "This hand seal-less Ninjutsu is called..."
" Rasengan."
