Chapter 284 Leaving
"You're the only one who looks good. When you smile, your eyes disappear."
I gradually recovered and still had the energy to reply.
"Ah, don't say that to me."
Nono said as he stood up and punched Nagato with his fist.
"I won't argue with you."
Nagato dodged while tickling Nono.
“Hahaha, haha~”
"You're a scoundrel."
Nono twisted her body, wondering when her weakness was exposed.
"Okay, how about we call it a tie?"
Nagato stopped first, but Nono was not satisfied and hit him again.
"Row."
Nono knew when to stop and smoothed the messy hair on his forehead.
After a while, her face turned red.
I don’t know whether it’s because I’m embarrassed or because I’m hot.
"Are you still going to ANBU tomorrow?"
Nagato has accepted the reality that Nono is leaving.
"If you want me to go, I will."
Nono mischievously gave the choice to Nagato.
"Then don't go, just rest at home."
Since Nonou still has to train in the Anbu, Nagato thinks it would be better for her to rest at home.
"Okay, I'll listen to you then."
Nono agreed readily, and then he came up with an idea.
"I just had surgery today. Doctor, why don't you come to see me more often?"
Looking at her playful and cute appearance, Nagato certainly couldn't bear to refuse.
"Yes, I'll come with you tomorrow."
Nagato had already made plans to ask for leave from Sakumo.
"That's pretty much it."
Nono thought about it and took his glasses in his hand.
"This is for you, just as a souvenir."
"I don't need it anymore."
This pair of glasses has been with Nono for many years. Even if she doesn't use them, they are still very meaningful to her.
"I'll keep it well."
Nagato took it solemnly, knowing that this was probably a farewell gift.
"Don't you have anything to say to me?"
Nono still had a little hope, hoping that Nagato would be more proactive.
"Take care of yourself, I'll come back tomorrow."
Nagato scratched his head. With his personality, how could he fulfill Nono's wish?
"fool."
Nono murmured, and took the initiative to go forward and hug Nagato.
"Don't forget me."
Her gentle voice rang in Nagato's ears.
"it is good."
After hesitating for a long time, Nagato finally hugged him with his backhand.
The two hugged each other tightly, feeling each other's body temperature.
It was a long time before Nono let go.
"Then go back slowly."
She had calmed down and walked to the door naturally and opened it.
"Well, see you tomorrow."
Nagato said as he walked out of the room, but did not leave immediately.
"I'll close the door when I can't see you anymore."
Nono left the door half-open, leaving his head exposed.
"OK then."
Nagato had originally planned to wait for Nono to close the door before leaving, but now he had to put his little thoughts aside.
"I'm leaving."
Nagato waved goodbye, turned around and walked away quickly.
Only after Nagato's figure disappeared from his sight did Nono slowly close the door.
She stood for a long time, leaning against the door.
Finally, he took two deep breaths before walking into the bathroom.
......
The next day, Nagato took a day off and spent the whole day with Nono.
Both of them chose to deliberately avoid the topic of parting.
They ate, drank and had fun happily, leaving their footprints in every corner of Konoha.
It was not until late at night that the two said goodbye to each other.
No reluctance, no retention.
Only after they separated did their faces look dejected.
After this day, there was one less girl named Yakushi Nono in Nagato's world.
His life goes on, and maybe one day in the future he will hear her call again.
As time went by, Nagato learned from Tsunade that all the people from the spy department had been sent out.
"Nagato, are you feeling better lately?"
Nagato thought he had concealed it well, but how could he hide it from the eyes of the elders he lived with day and night?
Tsunade suddenly asked in the Hatake family restaurant.
"what?"
"I'm fine."
When his name was suddenly called, Nagato's hands began to tremble as he picked up the food.
He pretended not to understand why Tsunade asked that.
"Just pretend outside."
"Don't hold it in at home. Who can't see it?"
Chuan Feng glanced at Nagato from the side. Who couldn't see his little thoughts?
As soon as the words fell, Minato and the others nodded repeatedly.
Although Nagato didn't change much, several people could still see it.
"I'm really fine, don't worry."
Nagato still refused to admit it, as if nothing had happened.
"Nono has already left the village."
"Just left last night."
Tsunade picked up a piece of food for Kawakaze with her chopsticks as if nothing had happened, and glanced at Nagato out of the corner of her eye.
"have they gone?"
Nagato finally couldn't help it and his facial expression changed.
I can’t tell whether it’s loss or relief.
In the end, things went according to the established plan.
There was no surprise and Nono's departure could not be changed.
"Well, I thought it would be best to tell you."
Tsunade softened her voice at this moment. She didn't want this matter to cause too much trouble to Nagato.
This is also a preparation to enlighten Nagato.
"Where did she go?"
Nagato then seemed to remember something and gave a helpless smile.
"Forget it, I won't ask."
After saying that, he put down his chopsticks. I wonder if he was full.
"This matter is left to Jiraiya to take full responsibility. I don't really know."
Tsunade wasn't being evasive, she really wasn't paying too much attention.
This is full trust in Jiraiya.
"Can she come back?"
Nagato asked weakly, this was what he was most concerned about.
If he heard the bad news about Nono one day, he didn't know what he would do.
"Don't worry, she's not a weak woman."
"I'm sure you can come back."
Chuan Feng said comforting words, Nono's title of "Walking Witch" must not be given for nothing.
Maybe she was born to do this job. If Danzo hadn't done it on purpose, she wouldn't have died so easily in the original work.
"Hopefully."
Nagato knew how dangerous the mission of spying behind enemy lines was.
If discovered, it would not be easy to escape in another country.
I can only pray silently in my heart, hoping that Nono will be safe.
"Everyone must be prepared to sacrifice their life on the day they become a ninja."
"You are still young, and you haven't experienced enough things like this."
"At least Nono is safe now. She is very lucky."
Although Shuomao's words were not very pleasant to the ear, they were his insights gained over the years.
He has experienced so many separations and deaths that he can't even remember them all.
As long as a person is still alive, there is a possibility of coming back.
"I understand everything."
Nagato nodded, he indeed understood it all.
When fighting with the Third Mizukage, he was determined to die.
But understanding does not mean indifference. As Shumao said, he still has little experience.
"Okay, I won't say any more."
"You're a smart kid, I'm sure you can adjust."
"Nono must also hope that you will be well in Konoha."
Tsunade stopped talking and didn't continue.
If the conditions are ripe, she will consider arranging Nono to come back.
Now that things have happened suddenly, there is nothing we can do about it.
