Chapter 119 - Project Hair Collection

Amegakure and Sunagakure signed a truce.

This news, as if it had sprouted wings, instantly spread throughout the entire Ninja World. From then on, the Land of Rain ushered in peace.

Upon learning this news, Jiraiya felt a sense of stability, as if dust had settled. It was as if he had long anticipated this outcome.

Haruki's face involuntarily appeared in his mind. His lips curved slightly upward, and a gentle smile appeared in his eyes. Haruki's wish had already been half-fulfilled.

[Ding!]

[System detected Jiraiya's Nostalgia Value +3000.]

[Your Cursed Spirit Choso's rank has increased to 53.8%.]

He should share this good news with Yahiko and the others.

Jiraiya did not want these four children, who had such a good relationship, to become strangers. Moreover, Yahiko and the others were actually very much looking forward to news of Haruki.

Jiraiya strode towards the wooden house.

"Jiraiya-sensei?"

Yahiko pushed open the door of the wooden house, looked at Jiraiya outside the door in confusion and asked curiously, "Did Jiraiya-sensei go out so early?"

Yahiko's face showed the drowsiness of someone who had just woken up.

Jiraiya looked at Yahiko, nodded with a smile, and flashed into the room.

Nagato and Konan were already awake. They stood at the doorway, looked at Jiraiya, rubbed their eyes, and dutifully called out, "Jiraiya-sensei."

Jiraiya looked at them gently, sat down on the tatami, and said mysteriously, "I have some good news to tell you."

"What good news?"

As soon as Yahiko heard Jiraiya's words, he immediately became excited. He stared intently at Jiraiya, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Nagato and Konan sat opposite Jiraiya. Upon hearing Jiraiya's words, Nagato's heart stirred slightly. He raised his head, his long hair obscuring his eyes.

"Jiraiya-sensei, is it news of Haruki?" Nagato asked softly.

Konan was startled, then looked at Jiraiya expectantly.

Jiraiya's gaze, however, fell on Yahiko. Yahiko had turned his head away as soon as he heard Haruki's name, as if he was very disdainful, but Jiraiya noticed that his perked-up ears twitched.

Jiraiya coughed a few times, cleared his throat, and nodded towards Nagato. "You could say that. It's indeed related to Haruki."

"Jiraiya-sensei, tell us quickly." Konan pleaded.

They hadn't seen Haruki in a long time and missed him very much. It was just that no one would speak up first, but they all knew in their hearts that they were all missing Haruki.

[Ding!]

[A total of 19000 Nostalgia points has been collected. Your Cursed Spirit Choso's rank has increased to 55.7%.]

Jiraiya smiled, looking at Konan's expectant expression.

"Amegakure and Sunagakure have ceased hostilities." Jiraiya looked into their eyes and said seriously.

Konan and the others were stunned simultaneously.

Yahiko leaped up, his voice loud. "Really? Jiraiya-sensei, are you telling the truth? Has Amegakure stopped fighting? Will there be no more wars in the future?"

A string of questions tumbled from his mouth.

Jiraiya pondered for a moment and said, "Hmm... The news of Amegakure and Sunagakure ceasing hostilities is true. Currently, Amegakure has signed a truce with the Sunagakure . I can't say for sure if Amegakure will fight in the future, but I estimate Hanzo should cherish this hard-won peace."

He smiled at Yahiko.

Yahiko immediately turned his face away and said, "Hmph! You can't be sure. Hanzo is a warmonger."

Hearing Yahiko's words, Jiraiya shook his head helplessly. He knew that Yahiko still needed time to clear up the misunderstanding in his heart.

"What about Haruki? Where did he go? Is he hurt?" Konan sat up, asking with concern.

She stared intently at Jiraiya, her eyes filled with deep worry.

Jiraiya rubbed Konan's head and comforted her, "Don't worry, Konan. Haruki is fine. Haruki is now a hero of Amegakure. He put in a lot of effort for Amegakure to achieve peace."

Jiraiya's eyes suddenly went over Konan's head, as if drifting to a very distant place, and his voice slowly sank. "The battlefield is a terrifying place. For Haruki to grow to this extent today, he must have encountered many things on the battlefield."

Konan was startled.

Battlefield...

Of course, she knew how terrifying the battlefield was.

She was a war orphan. When she wandered with Yahiko, she had seen too many terrifying scenes. She had never seen so many corpses, so much blood, and such cruel sights before.

Did Haruki have to face these every day on the battlefield?

Nagato's head lowered again.

[Ding!]

[System detected Nagato's Affection Value +5000.]

[Your Love Curse Growth Value has increased to 17.8%.]

Yahiko pursed his lips, the indignation in his heart unconsciously turning into worry.

Is Haruki alright now?

[Ding!]

[System detected Yahiko's Affection Value +5000.]

[Your Love Curse Growth Value has increased to 18.3%.]

Yahiko clenched his teeth.

Who told Haruki to join Hanzo?

Who told him to help Hanzo?

Even if he got hurt, it was his... it was his own fault.

Yahiko closed his eyes tightly.

[Ding!]

[System detected Yahiko's Pain Value +3000.]

[Your Cursed Spirit Kenjaku's rank has increased to 48%.]

Haruki sat on a broom, constantly approaching Amegakure.

A few system notifications occasionally sounded in his mind. His lips curved into a smile. It seemed Yahiko and the others had learned the news of Amegakure's truce.

These three were the big fat sheep he had raised in thAmegakure. There would be plenty of emotion points waiting for him to harvest in the future.

Cursed Energy fluctuated in Haruki's hand, and a straw doll appeared in his palm. He raised the straw doll in his hand and observed it carefully.

Just in case, he needed to start collecting hair from famous figures from now on.

Besides Nobara's Straw Doll Technique requiring hair, Ogami's Sèance Technique also required hair. After these ninjas die, he can use Sèance Technique to turn them into his combat weapons. However, collecting hair was a big project. But no matter what, collecting hair was much easier than collecting blood.

A thick, inky black mass appeared out of thin air beneath Haruki, and the straw doll in his hand was swallowed by the black hole, the black spot disappearing into the air.
