Chapter 272 Return to the Team
"All right."
After dealing with the three gangsters, Nagato immediately turned around, squatted down and stopped Nono's bleeding.
If the blood continues to flow through the wound, all my efforts to save him will be in vain.
"I am so sleepy."
Nono was adjusted by Nagato into a lying position.
Now that the crisis was over and she had relaxed, she could no longer bear it.
"Don't sleep, hold on a little longer."
Nagato's face beneath the mask was already showing signs of nervousness, as there was no prepared plasma to be delivered to Nono.
If she fell asleep now, she might never wake up again.
When he thought of this possibility, his heart suddenly ached.
After spending some time together, Nono is at least one of his few friends.
"Okay, I'll hold on a little longer."
Nono's voice became weaker and weaker, and his eyelids began to twitch.
It seemed as if I was going to fall asleep in the next second.
"You are not allowed to close your eyes. You are not allowed to do so."
Nagato healed Nono's abdominal wound, and his voice became somewhat fierce.
He raised his hand and took off Nono's mask.
The face with the black-framed glasses was as pale as gold paper and the lips were as white as wax.
There is no trace of youthfulness or beauty in her.
"I'll just take a nap. I can't hold on any longer."
Nono even smiled vaguely.
But to Nagato, that smile was so chilling.
It was obvious that she was no longer conscious, otherwise how could a medical ninja say such a thing?
It seemed as if all the strength in his body had been used up when he said this.
Her eyelids slowly drooped.
"Thunder Escape."
In desperation, Nagato could only use electric shock.
Fortunately, he knows five types of escape techniques.
His hands glowed with lightning and he pressed them straight towards Nono's chest.
Nagato tried hard to control the output of chakra to prevent Lightning Release from making Nono worse.
As he pressed with his palms again and again, Nono's body trembled.
"Wake up, wake up."
"I haven't told you my real name yet."
"Paine is just my code name."
Nagato muttered as he pressed.
After several chest defibrillations, Nono finally opened his eyes again.
His efforts were not in vain.
"Then what's your name?"
Nono listened to every word Nagato said and joined in the conversation after opening his eyes.
It was as if he was distracted by something just now.
Hearing Nono's words, Nagato perked up again.
"My name is Nagato."
"Long is the long of long, and door is the door of the gate."
While talking to Nono, Nagato treated another wound.
"What a common name."
"Nagato, I feel a little cold."
Nono felt his body temperature getting lower and lower.
Although I was in the sunshine, I couldn't feel the warmth as I should.
"It will be fine. I will definitely heal you."
Nagato's reply was incoherent, but Nono didn't have the energy to think about it.
"Nagato, can I see what you look like?"
Nono could only see Nagato, and some simple thoughts revolved around him.
"it is good."
Nagato quickly took off his mask, and his bangs fell from the top of his head to cover his eyes.
"You're not as pretty as me, hehe."
Nono laughed like a child.
Nagato is indeed not a handsome guy, his looks are far inferior to Yahiko's.
This is an undeniable fact.
"You are the most beautiful, so you can't die."
Nagato was amused by Nono, and the two chatted back and forth.
This means that Nono's condition is almost stable.
Once his injuries are treated, he will be out of danger.
"I know I'm good-looking, you don't have to tell me."
Nono is secretly a narcissistic girl.
If she were in a normal state, she probably wouldn't be able to say this.
"Okay, the external injuries have been treated."
Nagato breathed a sigh of relief; all the bleeding areas had been healed.
If it weren't for the fact that excessive blood loss could lead to death, he would have treated Nono's internal injuries first.
"Why are your eyes circles? Are they fake?"
Although it was only a moment, Nono still saw the appearance of the Rinnegan.
But she didn't recognize them and thought they were the colored contact lenses that Nagato bought somewhere.
"What are you talking about?"
Nagato brought up the words that Kawakaze often used to criticize them, although he didn't know what they meant.
"You are so cruel."
Nono pouted, and her aggrieved look was so cute.
"Where else does it hurt?"
Nagato no longer had the heart to chat with her as the treatment was coming to an end.
He finally helped Nono heal the internal injuries.
"The places you touched are all itchy, but it doesn't hurt anymore."
"But I'm so tired. I don't have any energy at all."
Nono's voice was soft, and he forced himself to sense it mentally.
The wounds regenerated by medical ninjutsu only felt tingling, no more pain.
Her sleepiness began to dissipate, and was replaced by a strong feeling of fatigue.
Now I don’t even have the strength to move a finger.
"It's boring."
"You have saved your life."
"Here, eat this."
Nagato pulled out a pitch-black pill from his ninja tool bag and put it to Nono's mouth.
Judging from the appearance of this pill, Nagato would never dare to accept it if it wasn't given by Tsunade.
"It smells bad."
Nono frowned and curled his lips in disgust.
She can do this much.
"You still despise it."
"This was made by the Hokage himself. I only have one."
Nagato pinched Nono's mouth with one hand in annoyance and stuffed the pill in with the other hand.
Then he covered Nono's mouth and shook it.
This medicine certainly does not have the power to bring the dead back to life, but it can greatly enhance the body's self-healing function.
Ino Nou was in a dying state just now, so it would be useless to feed her.
Now that we have saved our lives, that is when it will come into play.
But this does not mean that this pill is not precious.
Not to mention how much energy and precious medicinal materials Tsunade spent.
It can greatly shorten the recovery time after saving lives, and this alone is valuable.
There is also a hint of the results of Hashirama's cell research experiments in this.
Tsunade didn't make that many in total, so it can be considered a benefit for her family.
Otherwise, Nagato wouldn't have only one.
Only when he saw Nono swallowing did Nagato let go of his hand.
"Do you think I'm a cat or a dog?"
Nono felt insulted because he usually fed medicine to stray pets in the same way.
"As if you were a ghost mastiff."
Nagato couldn't help but laugh out loud.
This is what happens every time my aunt feeds medicine to the ghost mastiff.
After eating, the ghost mastiff would bark at my aunt a few times.
It is somewhat similar to Nono's current situation.
"Who is the ghost mastiff?"
Nono had a new problem.
The pills began to take effect in her body, and a warm current circulated within her body.
The complexion on her face has improved a lot compared to the beginning.
"No one."
"Okay, stop asking so many questions."
"You can go to bed now."
Nagato felt that it was a bit impolite to tell Nono that the Ghost Mastiff was a dog now.
He put the mask on Nono first, and then put on his own mask.
Then he put his hands under Nono's body, one hand at the bend of the leg and the other hand under the shoulder blade.
He just exerted a little force and picked Nono up.
"Let's go back. The battle should be over."
Nagato started to rush back holding Nono.
"Oh."
Nono naturally put her arms around Nagato's neck, rested her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes.
The hot air from her breath sprayed on Nagato's neck.
A strange emotion arose in Nagato's heart.
This kind of close contact is completely different from the feeling when treating Nono.
Nagato was a little uncomfortable at first, but then he focused his mind and quickened his pace.
Feeling the cool breeze behind his head, Nono had never felt that life was so precious.
Since she is not dead, she should live a more exciting life in the future!!
"Why hasn't Nono come back yet?"
"Is nothing going to happen?"
The battle on Nawaki's side has ended, and the captains of Lion and Nono have returned to the team.
The two men suffered minor injuries, but the fleeing bandits were all dealt with.
He hadn't seen Nono come back for a long time, and couldn't help feeling a little worried.
"It should be fine. I saw Payne go."
While fighting, Minato was also observing the situation, and he saw Nagato leave.
"Oh, that shouldn't be a problem."
Nawaki is very confident in Nagato's ability.
Even if you don't use the power of the Rinnegan, they are just a few bandits and are nothing to worry about.
"She chased out before us."
"It's time to come back."
"How about I go take a look?"
Nono's captain was still worried and planned to go and provide support.
Nono is the only girl on their team and also the youngest one.
Furthermore, he did not have a clear understanding of Nagato's strength, so it was difficult for him to be as confident as Nawaki and the others.
"Then go and have a look."
Sheng Shu didn't think it was necessary, but he didn't intend to stop it.
After all, there is nothing to deal with here.
"it is good."
Just as Nono's captain was about to set off, he saw Nagato emerging from the woods not far away holding Nono.
"Put me down."
When Nono saw everyone gathering around her, she suddenly felt a little shy.
He loosened his arms around Nagato's neck and began to twist his body slightly.
"Can you?"
Nagato didn't think there was anything wrong with this.
Nono is a wounded soldier, everyone can understand that.
Besides, holding her in my arms, she feels soft and comfortable.
"I can."
Nono nodded affirmatively. She had now recovered some strength.
You may not be able to fight, but standing and walking should be no problem.
Lord Hokage is worthy of being the best medical ninja in Konoha, that pill is indeed effective.
But Nono also felt a little guilty. How could he compensate Nagato for such a precious pill?
"OK then."
Seeing her insistence, Nagato agreed to her wishes.
Slowly lower her to the ground.
But he did not let go and still held Nono's arm.
"What's going on here?"
"Where are you hurt? Is it serious?"
"Does it matter?"
......
As everyone gathered around, they started asking questions one after another.
Nono's face was pale and there were obvious blood stains on his body.
No matter how you look at it, he looks seriously injured.
"I'm fine, I'm fine."
Nono was asked so many questions that he didn't know who to answer first.
He quickly waved his hands to indicate that he was fine.
"How can it be okay? Don't lie to us."
Captain Nono's eyes were full of distrust.
Her clothes were so tattered that they looked as if they had been fished out of water of blood.
"It's really okay."
"Luckily Payne arrived in time."
In order to show that he was really fine, Nono started jumping up and down on the spot.
"Are you a rabbit?"
Nagato put his hand on her shoulder, did he really think he was healed?
"I was wrong."
Nono did not argue, but timidly admitted his mistake.
Like a child who has made a mistake, it makes people reluctant to blame him.
This small interaction between the two made everyone present feel that there was something different between them.
"She's so good."
Konan whispered to Yahiko who was beside him.
"You're the best."
Yahiko fully demonstrated what it means to have the word "favor" engraved in one's heart.
“Although it’s a lie, it’s fun to hear.”
Xiaonan has some understanding of himself and thinks he is quite cute.
But the word "good boy" doesn't seem to be appropriate to describe me.
She is not the kind of person who is well-behaved.
"I didn't expect you to have the potential to be a matchmaker."
Minato teased as he gently bumped Ropetree with his shoulder.
"You just know?"
Shengshu raised his head slightly with pride, and his tail was almost reaching the sky.
If his bangs weren't long enough, he would at least lift them up.
"You said you were fat and you were breathless."
Minato rolled his eyes speechlessly, what kind of people are these?
"Hehe~"
Sheng Shu gave a sly laugh but didn't refute.
"As long as you're okay."
"So what happened?"
Captain Nono was relieved to see that she was still alive and well.
Then he asked what happened.
Everyone was quiet at this moment, waiting for Nono to speak.
"Everything was normal. I was too careless."
"There are only three gangsters left, and I don't want to lose them."
"It was just a bit of a chase, which probably put a lot of pressure on them."
"They were going to kill me first."
"Luckily Payne showed up in time, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to see you."
Nono briefly recounted what had happened, but she omitted all the dangers involved.
Thinking back on it now, I still feel a lingering fear.
If you know you are no match for three people, you shouldn't push them so hard.
She had a close call with death, but was forcibly pulled back by Nagato.
If someone who didn't know medical ninjutsu came, he would probably just have to watch her die.
Fortunately, she is fine now, and she doesn't want to make everyone worry too much.
Then just rest for a while.
"Is that so? Then you should thank Pein."
Captain Nono was unaware of the danger involved and even took it in a slightly joking manner.
"Come to think of it, this is the second time Pein has saved you, right?"
Nawaki didn't think too much about it, he also included the time at the Anbu training ground.
"Uh~ I guess so."
As for the incident at the Anbu training ground, even if Nagato didn't treat him, it wouldn't be a big deal.
Compared with this life-and-death crisis, it is nothing.
However, Nono did not intend to deny it.
"Well, she still needs more rest now."
"Just stop talking about it."
Nagato spoke up, interrupting everyone who was about to continue talking.
"Oh, it's still under maintenance."
Sheng Shu followed with a teasing remark.
Nagato didn't feel anything, but Nono made her face blush.
