Chapter 99 Visiting the Injured

After the fierce battle, everyone was injured to varying degrees. As the only one among them who knew healing skills, Haruko Zao healed everyone's minor injuries one by one.

"Thank you."

Hyuga Neji stood up stiffly, touched his arm which was now intact, and looked at Hayama Haruko beside him with a scrutinizing look.

She has become much stronger...

During the battle, Hyuga Neji's forehead protector was blown away, revealing the blue curse seal on his forehead.

Every time she saw it, Haruko Asagumi couldn't help but think of the fact that he was controlled by the main family.

Standing up and looking around carefully, Haruko caught a glimpse of the reflection in the grass, so she walked over and picked up the Konoha forehead guard that was lying quietly in it.

Then she squatted next to Hyuga Neji. Seeing his puzzled expression, Haruko Zaojian gently covered the blue curse seal with the forehead protector, put her arm around his head, and put the forehead protector on him.

The moment Hyuga Neji was shrouded by the shadow of Haruko Zaoma, his body shrank for a moment, then he lowered his head and let her do what she wanted.

The coolness of the forehead protector, her gentle movements on the side of his head, and... her shallow breathing, all of which irritated Hyuga Neji.

"Okay!" Haruko stepped back and smiled at him.

Hyuga Neji let out a breath and subconsciously raised his hand to touch his forehead protector, but his hand met that of Haruko Hayama who was just retracting.

Haruko didn't pay attention to it in the morning. She got up and went to treat the next injured person.

Hyuga Neji, who was still sitting there, had his hand frozen in the air. After a few seconds, it slowly tightened, as if trying to grasp the warmth that passed by.

When he realized what he was doing, he panicked and spread his hands and rubbed them on his clothes, but then he felt that he was trying to cover up his mistake, so he coughed lightly and stood up.

Akimichi Chouji, who was watching all his actions, said: Does Neji hate Haruko so much? He even dislikes the places he touched?

Inuzuka Kiba and Akimichi Choji were seriously injured, and Haruko Hayama's current ability was limited, so they quickly carried the two back to the village.

After watching the two people enter the centralized medical room, Haruko followed Tsunade who was dispensing medicine for them and learned from her while the others sorted out the documents brought back by Haruno Sakura and went to deliver them.

"But... I didn't expect that Choji would be so handsome after losing weight."

Haruko Asagumi, who came to visit, sighed to Ino Yamanaka next to her.

Akimichi Choji touched his head with his hand that was bandaged like a carrot and smiled sheepishly, "That's why I say fat people are potential stocks!"

Yamanaka Ino helplessly put her hands on her hips, "I'm telling you, if you can get rid of that wretched look, you might look more like a handsome guy."

Haruno Sakura, who was arranging the vases on the table, also smiled and said, "Besides, I will definitely eat it again after Choji recovers."

"Can't you have a little confidence in me?" Akimichi Choji spread his hands out in frustration.

Morning Haruko patted his shoulder comfortingly, "So you have to get better soon, Choji. When everyone is discharged from the hospital, I will ask Kakashi-sensei to treat everyone to a barbecue!"

"Barbecue?! Yoshi! I must be discharged from the hospital as soon as possible!" Flames burst into Akimichi Choji's eyes.

Kakashi, who was arranged to treat everyone:?

"By the way, I seem to have not seen Shikamaru in the past few days." Haruko looked at Yamanaka Ino in the morning.

"I guess he's been slacking off somewhere again." Yamanaka Ino replied disapprovingly.

Akimichi Choji interrupted, "Shikamaru came to see me just now. I think he missed your time. He said he had to go to the dentist."

"Then I'll go see the dentist, too."

After saying hello to them, Haruko left early.

Akimichi Choji watched her disappear behind the door and suddenly said, "Haruko seems to value Shikamaru very much."

"I heard that their mothers are old friends, so they have known each other since childhood." Yamanaka Ino explained, "That's great, why couldn't I have known Haruko earlier? Shikamaru is such a lucky guy!"

Sakura Haruno, who was listening to their conversation nearby, didn't say anything, but stared blankly at the vase containing the flowers that the three of them had brought.

Purple, pink, and white are now mixed up and placed in a vase to complement each other, like an intimate entity.

If only she could have met Haruko earlier...

……

"Ya, Akamaru, I'm here to see you!"

In the morning, Haruko pushed open the door of Inuzuka Kiba's ward and found that in addition to Inuzuka Kiba sitting on the hospital bed, there was also a beautiful sister who was checking Akamaru's injuries.

Her beautiful hair was tied up in a ponytail, and on her cheeks were the red inverted triangle facial marks unique to the Inuzuka clan.

"Excuse me, are you Kiba's sister? Hello! I am Kiba's friend Hayabusa Haruko." Hayabusa Haruko greeted politely.

Inuzuka Hana stood up with a hint of surprise, then turned to look at Inuzuka Kiba on the bed, "How can you make such a beautiful friend?"

"..." Inuzuka Kiba looked at her speechlessly.

Inuzuka Hana laughed a few times, and the few ninja dogs surrounding her also felt their master's happiness and followed her howling.

Seeing that Morning Haruko was staring at the ninja dogs beside her sister, Inuzuka Kiba asked helplessly: "Are you here to visit me or them?"

"Hahahaha, you're such a joker." Haruko Zao covered her guilty conscience with a smile and walked to the bedside and put the flowers on the table.

Later in the morning, Haruko carefully checked his injuries and found that they were basically healed and he should be able to be discharged from the hospital after a few more days.

"Ya, let's go have barbecue together after we are discharged from the hospital!"

Seeing her expectant look, Inuzuka Kiba readily agreed.

Inuzuka Hana, who was pretending to check Akamaru's injuries but was actually eavesdropping, paused with a look of shock.

Someone actually asked that brat out for dinner? !

"By the way, does Kiba know where Shikamaru went? I heard from Choji that he came to visit you just now." Haruko Asahi asked.

Inuzuka Kiba raised an eyebrow, "What? You are here to look for Shikamaru after all."

"I'm mainly here to see the dentist, and to ask Shikamaru by the way." Haruko Zao gave an awkward but polite smile.

"He just left not long ago. He said he went to the rooftop to get some fresh air."

"Okay! Hope your teeth heal quickly!"

Seeing Haruko leaving in the morning, Inuzuka Hana finally couldn't help asking her brother, "How did you make this friend? She even asked you out for dinner?!"

Seeing his sister's excited expression, Inuzuka Kiba's mouth twitched, "What on earth are you thinking about? We must eat together as a mission team."

"Ah--" Inuzuka Hana sighed immediately, "I told you that you don't have that much charm."

"..." Inuzuka Kiba felt his wound begin to ache again. You really are my sister!

……

In the morning, Haruko pushed open the door on the roof of the hospital, and the sunlight poured down. Nara Shikamaru was lying flat on a simple bench, resting his hands on his head and looking up at the sky, wondering what he was thinking.

"Shikamaru!"

Hearing her voice, Nara Shikamaru came back to his senses and looked towards the source of the voice in confusion. Haruko Asako had already walked to his side, sat on the empty seat on the bench, and then lay down like him.

"Why are you here?" Nara Shikamaru turned his gaze to the sky again and asked casually.

"I haven't seen Shikamaru for several days. I miss you so much!" Haruko Zao's tone was filled with nostalgia.

I miss the carefree days with Shikamaru!

Unexpectedly, the two most timid people among them became Chunin first. The future of the ninja world is worrying.

Even though he grew up listening to Haruko Asaga's straightforward words, Nara Shikamaru sometimes couldn't resist the unstinting joy in her tone.

"Stupid, you should be more careful when talking to boys."

"Hmm? But Shikamaru is different."

"What's different?"

Morning Haruko stood up, looked through his eyes from top to bottom, and said confidently: "Because Shikamaru is the most important friend I grew up with!"
