Capítulo 44: Chapter 43 : Reward
Kakashi's intuition was correct. It was Uchiha Ran who had rescued Haku.
Uchiha Ran was known for his precision and meticulousness in his work. After mastering the Flying Thunder God Technique, he further refined it into a small "mark" that was incredibly subtle, only about the size of a five-point font. If one didn't look carefully, it would go unnoticed entirely. He strategically positioned these marks to be exceedingly discreet.
Post his mastery of the technique, Uchiha Ran had secretly marked Naruto, Sasuke, Kakashi, Hinata, Hanabi, Ino, Yuhika, and others with tattoos for free. The tattoos were placed either on their abdomen or heart, each symbolizing an individual's connection to him.
He had branded Naruto and others on their backs, with a focus on where Namikaze Minato's gift to Obito was located. This enabled Uchiha Ran to employ the Flying Thunder God Technique to appear behind these individuals in an instant. It was a powerful skill that he could employ to safeguard Konoha if the need arose.
However, Kakashi's understanding was a bit off. Uchiha Ran had actually surpassed Tsunade in medical ninjutsu at this point, but even his expertise couldn't save Haku.
During the incident in the Land of Waves, Uchiha Ran had used the Flying Thunder God Technique to arrive swiftly, but his presence had been exposed. Haku's injuries were severe, and even with the application of medical ninjutsu and Katsuyu's healing abilities, only half of his life could be saved. Complete recovery was impossible unless he possessed Hashirama's cell regeneration or Uzumaki-level healing powers.
With no other choice, Uchiha Ran and Haku had made a decision. He placed Haku's body in an ice cellar atop a high mountain in the Snow Country, leaving a Flying Thunder God mark there. Uchiha Ran would periodically visit the location to check on Haku's condition.
Incidentally, the Land of Snow had become one of Uchiha Ran's retreats when no one was paying attention to it,.
"Under my guidance, Karin is cultivating Yang Release, and their physical abilities have advanced considerably."
"I was planning on having Karin develop a method for actively transmitting chakra after the Chunin Exams instead of relying on passive chakra output through bites. I didn't expect the Gold List to provide such benefits."
"Very well."
Uchiha Ran commended Gold List's treatment of Haku's injuries.
Haku had agreed to become Uchiha Ran's subordinate through certain means, providing him with a reliable ally.
And it wasn't only Uchiha Ran who appreciated Gold List's assistance.
[Fourth Kazekage Rasa: This artwork is incredibly beautiful, like a fairytale.]
[Karura: What's going on?]
[Fourth Kazekage Rasa: Darling, are you here too?]
[Karura: Obviously, hehe.]
Upon witnessing this interaction, Gaara was overcome with a sense of despair, his murderous intent simmering.
[Kitsuchi: I feel like I want to fall in love again. Doesn't Kurotsuchi lack a maternal figure?]
[Kurotsuchi: Dad, you'll catch a cold for me!]
[Jiraiya: Slippery, the frozen Sleeping Beauty awakens, providing inspiration for my next book!]
[Onoki: Oh roar, is the renowned author releasing a new book? Tsuchikage-sama is pre-ordering.]
[Jiraiya: Third Tsuchikage, are you okay?]
[Darui: Old man, you need to stay healthy, drink some water.]
[Kakashi: That's right, sprinkle water. No wonder Third Tsuchikage finds it so easy to lose his waistline. Jiraiya-sama, I've already agreed to your new book.]
[Fourth Kazekage Rasa: I've also placed an order, I'll... take it for myself.]
[Fourth Raikage Ai: What are you all agreeing on? Some sort of secret code?]
[Killer Bee: Big brother, you stole it from me last time, used it for hand-speed training, and praised its effectiveness.]
[Fourth Raikage Ai: So that treasure was it? I've also placed an order.]
[Senju Hashirama: What sort of book is so captivating that even this old man is interested?]
[Senju Tobirama: Big brother, considering Gold List's ongoing live broadcast, can't you guess?]
[Senju Hashirama: I'm clueless.]
[Uchiha Madara: Hashirama, that's it. Do you understand this sort of book?]
[Senju Hashirama: Ah, I see. I understand. I'll order a copy too.]
[Uzumaki Mito: What...?]
[Uzumaki Kushina: Naruto, please keep me away from Jiraiya-sensei. Don't let him spoil you.]
Wait, what?
Thinking about Naruto's harem technique, Uchiha Ran felt that once Kushina learned about it, she would be utterly distraught.
If, in the future, she and Namikaze Minato were to be resurrected, they might just find themselves practicing the trumpet.
Speaking of which, Jiraiya and the others were strangely engrossed by the screen.
Unbelievable.
Even though there were pixelated parts, couldn't they still recognize the suddenness?
Was this a preparation for fencing or a way to attract men?
[Uzumaki Naruto: @Yuki Haku, Haku brother, aren't you supposed to be dead?]
Naruto appeared, not addressing Kushina, but rather chatting with someone on the list.
He seemed to be familiar with the list member.
Hold on... brother?
Jiraiya, Onoki, Fourth Kazekage Rasa, and the rest froze, a sense of disbelief washing over them.
"It's Brother Naruto."
"I got lucky. I was saved and didn't die."
Haku noticed Naruto's message and responded with a smile via the live broadcast.
His voice was gentle.
One might even mistake it for a girl's voice if they weren't paying close attention.
However, at this moment...
Jiraiya and the others finally noticed the pixelation on Haku's appearance.
It was abrupt, clearly not a woman.
There were no benefits at all, only traps.
Hidden Stone Village.
"Cough, Dad, I'm going to see Uncle Rōshi. He's sure to be on the Bloodline Limit List!"
Faced with Kurotsuchi's "admiring" gaze, Kitsuchi fled.
Pure Land.
Educated by Karura, Rasa wanted to cry: "Is it worth it to go to such lengths for a man?"
Kirigakure
Terumi Mei's eyes brightened as she pointed at her red lips and said, "He's quite a handsome young man. I must bring him back to the Mist Village."
Regarding Haku, Terumi Mei had no peculiar thoughts, not even playful teasing. After all, this was a true embodiment of a beautiful man, capable of captivating many women instantly while disguised as a woman. And she genuinely favored sunny, handsome men, such as Uchiha Ran. Their status aligned as well.
[Uzumaki Naruto: Brother Haku, you were badly injured. How could someone have saved you?]
"Well, I was just temporarily not dead. It's actually the Gold List who saved me."
Haku's eyes glittered. He briefly explained his situation and credited Gold List with the rescue.
Smart individuals had already gleaned valuable information from the first screen during the live broadcast.
At this point, Haku noticed his options.
Option 1: Ascend to the Pinnacle of Bloodline Limit
Option 2: Myriad Realms Primordial Draw
Without waiting for Uzumaki Naruto to inquire further, he changed his words: "I'll choose option two."
The spinning disk appeared twice before him, and two chances were indicated in the lower right corner.
"Begin!"
The selection process commenced, and it eventually landed in the inheritance section.
"Confirmed!"
Haku was evidently preparing to choose one.
But then, the carousel's content abruptly shifted.
Seeing the new content, others might not have grasped the significance, but Uchiha Ran was utterly stunned.
"Tōshirō, Aokiji, Gray, Esdeath, Articuno..."
"This is incredible!"
