Shiratori Rin left Number One at Iron Hail's blacksmith shop.
On his way back to his single apartment, he saw countless Rain Ninja gathered around the Amegakure public notice board from a distance.
The Rain Ninja were all red-faced, veins throbbing, and filled with righteous indignation.
Shiratori Rin's eyes darted, and he knew this was a good time to collect emotional value.
He strode towards the crowd, a look of simple curiosity on his face.
"Rin?"
Mizuna caught a glimpse of Shiratori Rin from the corner of his eye and asked, "Is training over?"
Shiratori Rin stood beside him, nodded, and curiously stood on his tiptoes to look inside: "What is everyone looking at?"
Mizuna paused, glanced at the notice board, it's better to keep this from Shiratori Rin!
Lest he secretly run to the battlefield again like the previous two times.
The scale of this war is not a minor skirmish.
For Shiratori Rin, it was still too dangerous.
"Nothing."
Mizuna smiled and changed the subject: "Have you had dinner yet?"
Shiratori Rin looked at Mizuna, then cleverly squeezed into the crowd and ran towards the innermost part.
"Hey!"
Mizuna's eyes widened, and he didn't react for a moment; by the time he reached out to pull Shiratori Rin, Shiratori Rin's figure had already scurried into the innermost part like a little monkey.
The Rain Ninja in the innermost part all looked down at the suddenly appearing Shiratori Rin.
"Rin?"
Shiratori Rin was looking up, intently staring at the scroll posted on the notice board.
The Rain Ninja all noticed Shiratori Rin's presence; they exchanged glances, it was too late to stop Shiratori Rin from continuing to read.
"Hidden Sand Village is going too far!"
After finishing, Shiratori Rin's eyebrows immediately shot up, and he turned to all the Rain Ninja and said, "We absolutely cannot let them succeed!"
Seeing him like this, the Rain Ninja all smiled.
"Of course!"
"How could we let them insult us like this?"
"We will completely drive Hidden Sand Village out of the Land of Rain!"
"Let them never set foot in the Land of Rain again!"
...
The rising and falling voices entered Shiratori Rin's ears.
Shiratori Rin's gaze swept over everyone, his eyes sparkling, and he declared loudly: "I also want to go to the battlefield with everyone! We will drive out the Ninja of Hidden Sand Village together! I will definitely bring everyone back to Amegakure safely!"
The originally excited Rain Ninja fell into a dead silence after hearing Shiratori Rin's words.

"Rin," Mizuna's hand rested on Shiratori Rin's shoulder, he bent down and looked at Shiratori Rin seriously, saying, "You just wait for us to return safely in the Village, you are still a child, war has nothing to do with you."
Shiratori Rin's smile vanished, his lips straightened, his face full of defiance, pointing to the headband on his forehead: "I am also a Ninja of Amegakure! Why does war have nothing to do with me? I am also everyone's Medical Ninja, I want to treat everyone on the battlefield!"

"You are a Ninja of Amegakure, but you are still too young, and the battlefield is full of danger. Your value is more important than all of us; you cannot be harmed."
Ame Tetsu said earnestly after a moment of silence.
Shiratori Rin's gaze shifted to him; Ame Tetsu's face was expressionless, like an Iron Tower standing silently in the rain.
"A Ninja's strength is never measured by age, is it?"
Shiratori Rin retorted.
Ame Tetsu had no rebuttal.
"You are a Genius, very strong, but the battlefield is a place specifically designed to stifle Genius."
"Once Hidden Sand Village discovers your talent, they will specifically target you until they confirm your death."
Takigawa's voice poured down like ice water.
"But I am not afraid of death!"
"I just want everyone to live!"
Shiratori Rin spoke with conviction.
His clear childish voice echoed in everyone's ears.
An eight-year-old child stood before them, fearless of the approaching war, and told them firmly.
He was not afraid of death, he just wanted everyone to live!

"My teacher has already agreed for me to go to the battlefield with everyone!"
"No matter what, I will not change my mind!"
Shiratori Rin shouted to them.
"I'm going to prepare my things!"
Shiratori Rin pushed through the crowd and ran towards his apartment.
Midway, he suddenly turned around and waved to the Rain Ninja who were staring intently at his retreating figure.
"See you tomorrow!"

"Did Lord Hanzo really agree?"
Mizuna watched Shiratori Rin's figure disappear and asked doubtfully.
"Rin shouldn't be lying; Lord Hanzo really agreed for him to go to the battlefield with us."
Mizuna's eyes were full of worry.
"What is Lord Hanzo thinking?"
Lian asked abruptly.
"Lord Hanzo is Rin's teacher; there must be a reason for him to do this."
Ame Tetsu said to Lian.
"Amegakure cannot afford the cost of losing Shiratori Rin."
Lian stared at Ame Tetsu, saying each word distinctly.
"I know, but we can't keep him confined in Amegakure forever."
A helpless expression appeared on Ame Tetsu's face.
"Keeping him in Amegakure and protecting him until he has sufficient strength is the safest approach."
Lian's gaze moved from Ame Tetsu's face, coldly watching the lead-gray clouds in the distance.
"How do you know he doesn't have enough strength?"
Senba Suzume's figure appeared in everyone's sight; he walked to Lian, gently patted Lian's shoulder, "I know you're worried about him, but please trust Lord Hanzo, trust Rin, and trust us; we will protect him, won't we?"
Lian lowered his eyes and nodded.
