*****

Suzuki did not return home after school today.

Instead, he brought Hanako to a hidden basement on the edge of Konohagakure.

Looking at the environment around her that had inexplicably become strange and terrifying, Hanako's little face was a little scared. She tightly held onto Suzuki's clothes.

She raised her head slightly and opened her small mouth as if she wanted to say something, but she hesitated.

Suzuki looked at Hanako's scared expression and smiled teasingly:

"What, are you scared?"

Hanako shook her little head, then nodded again. She pursed her small mouth and said weakly:

"Hmm, a little bit. Suzuki-chan, why did you bring Hanako here?"

Suzuki looked at Hanako, who was only one meter and four centimeters tall even though she was already twelve years old. He smiled gently:

"Didn't I ask you before if you wanted to study something more interesting?"

Hanako's little face turned red. She raised her head slightly and glanced at Suzuki, then quickly lowered it again. Her voice became extremely soft:

"That... Hanako still has to go back to buy dango."

"."

Although he knew that the children in the ninja world were relatively precocious, Suzuki was speechless at Hanako's current reaction.

He rubbed Hanako's little head fiercely until her shoulder-length black short hair became a bird's nest. Then, he smiled helplessly and said:

"Don't think too much. I brought you here to see some interesting items that need to be studied."

"There's a laboratory ahead. I spent some time building it before."

"That laboratory was just built not long ago. It's a little short-handed. I'm not proficient in the medical field either, so I asked you to come and try to study it."

"I'm not the only one in the laboratory now. There's also a female doctor called Yakushi Nonoyu. She's much older than the two of us. She used to work in the Konoha Orphanage."

"That Yakushi Nonoyu's medical skills are also not bad. If you study with her, Hanako, you can also learn some useful knowledge from her."

After saying that, Suzuki looked at Hanako, who had raised her little face. There was some doubt and some anticipation on her face.

Suzuki knew what she was wondering about, but he did not explain.

He looked at the laboratory location, which was still some distance away, and then at the surrounding environment.

This place was on the edge of Konoha, not far from where he had trained with the Might Father and Son.

There were not many trees around, but it could not be considered few. It could barely be called a forest.

With this kind of terrain, and the fact that no one usually came here, there was no need to walk slowly.

Suzuki looked at Hanako again with a calm expression. She was still carefully arranging her hair that had been messed up by Suzuki.

"Hanako, remember to cover your eyes later."

Hanako, who was lowering her head to tidy up her hair, raised her little face. Her clear eyes under her black-rimmed glasses looked at Suzuki, full of confusion:

"Ah? Why should Hanako cover her eyes?"

Suzuki silently walked in front of this petite classmate and lifted her by the collar behind her neck, just like lifting a kitten.

"Hey, Suzuki-chan, what are you doing? Let Hanako down."

After Hanako was lifted up, her feet could not touch the ground because of her height. However, she did not kick her legs or panic. Instead, she asked Suzuki with some shyness and confusion.

"Just listen to me."

Suzuki replied calmly.

"Ah? Oh."

Hanako did not say anything more after hearing Suzuki's indifferent reply. She obediently covered her eyes with her hands.

Seeing that Hanako was ready, Suzuki did not hesitate.

He used his Observation Haki!

In an instant, everything around him, including the environment around Konohagakure, was seen by him!

He looked at Hanako, who was quietly staying in the air after being lifted up by him. He covered part of Hanako's body with Armament Haki and then smiled gently:

"Alright, it'll be quick."

"Ah?."

"Swish~"

Just as Hanako opened her small mouth slightly and tried to ask a question.

"Swish~"

In the blink of an eye, the jungle was instantly crossed!

Looking at Hanako, who was still obediently covering her eyes, Suzuki removed his domineering aura and smiled slightly:

"We're here, Hanako. You can uncover your eyes."

Then, he slowly put down the little cat-like Hanako in his hand.

"Are we there? Then Hanako won't cover her eyes anymore, Suzuki-chan~"

Hanako obediently put down her hands that were covering her eyes. Then, when she saw the unfamiliar scene around her that was different from before, she felt as if she had been hit by an illusion.

"Ah?!?!"

"Suzuki-chan, are we here?"

Suzuki looked at Hanako, whose little face was full of surprise, and nodded gently.

Hanako was still in disbelief.

She only felt as if she had just been on a roller coaster. A strong gust of wind blew past, and then her friend Suzuki put her down.

Hanako looked at her friend Suzuki with a strange expression on her face. There was something she clearly wanted to ask in her eyes, but she opened her small mouth and hesitated.

Suzuki was not surprised by Hanako's reaction.

This was the first time he had revealed his true strength in front of an acquaintance, although this was only a part of it.

However, this was enough to make people find it unbelievable.

Just now, the distance he had walked in less than a second while carrying Hanako would have taken at least several minutes for an ordinary villager.

For an ordinary ninja with chakra, it would take about half a minute.

As for the non-ordinary Jonin level, even if they used Instantaneous Body Flicker, it would still take at least a few seconds.

However, Suzuki had only taken less than a second to arrive. He had even slowed down as much as possible because he was carrying Hanako.

If he had really used his full strength.

Suzuki had not tried it yet.

"Alright, don't be surprised by this kind of thing."

"Let's go to the laboratory, Hanako."

Suzuki looked at Hanako, who had hesitated several times, but he did not answer.

She would naturally understand when she needed to know. If she could not keep up, there was no need to say anything more to her.

Hearing her friend Suzuki's words, Hanako still had some doubts in her heart, but she restrained herself.

She held onto Suzuki's clothes and followed him to a big tree that could be hugged by five people. Then, she saw her classmate and friend kick the bottom of the tree trunk.

"Crack~"

A crack suddenly appeared on the ground about ten meters away from the big tree!

Suzuki looked at Hanako's curious eyes and smiled gently. Then, he walked to the crack and pulled up the wooden board hidden under the soil with his hand. However, there was still soil below.

Suzuki's expression was calm. Then, he formed a few hand seals on his hand.

The soil under the wooden board suddenly changed. A deep and dark cave appeared out of thin air. There was a staircase below that was bottomless.

This was the small illusion and barrier technique that he and Yakushi Nono had set up.

It was not very useful. It could barely cover the entrance, but it was difficult to be discovered if one did not investigate carefully.

Suzuki looked at Hanako beside him. Her little face was already full of surprise. She looked very cute.

"T-this... Suzuki-chan! There's suddenly a hole here!"

Suzuki nodded, then calmly said to Hanako:

"Hmm, it's just an illusion. Let's go. Our destination is below."
