Chapter 36 : Senju Hikari!!
"I'm fine!"
Senju Hikari said timidly, her eyes a bit watery.
Over the years, apart from her brother, no one else had shown concern for her.
"Fine? I can see your ribs are broken!" Genya looked at Hikari's pale face and pulled her towards the medical room at the center of Konoha. "You need to see a doctor!"
If Genya had his own broken ribs, he could recover in just a couple of days, especially with his Infinite Chakra World Technique. But for a commoner like Hikari, healing from broken ribs would take at least two months.
"I-I don't have any money!" Hikari was still hesitant, reluctant to go to the hospital. She had been wandering in the commoner district with her brother, and they didn't have money for medical care.
"Stick with me; when have I ever asked for money from anyone else?" Genya said smoothly, taking her hand and leading her forward, giving her no chance to refuse.
Hikari's cheeks flushed red.
In fact, the only outsiders who had ever eaten with Genya were Hinata Hyuga, Might Guy, and Izumi Uchiha, who was somewhat included.
On the way, they ran into Kai Uchiha, and Genya asked him to pass a message: "Uncle Kai, tell my dad and mom that I'm taking Hikari to the Konoha Medical Center and won't be coming back!"
Genya carefully guided Hikari to the hospital, asking about what had happened along the way.
