Chapter 24 Teammates

Orochimaru glanced at Okamoto Dousuke, patted the loli on the head, and turned away.

"Let's go, Hongdou, it's getting late, you should go back and rest."

"Oh," Loli responded, "Master, who is that brother? Are you here to look for him?"

"No, I met him by chance. That brother is also a genius." Orochimaru said in a hoarse voice.

"Master, I am the smartest genius, don't you think, Huahua?" After saying that, he raised the black and white snake in his hand and put it to the corner of his mouth, mumbling something.

Two figures, one big and one small, slowly walked away.

It was only at this time that Okamoto Dousuke realized that Orochimaru was really here for a walk, accompanying Mitarashi Anko to catch pets?

Okamoto Dousuke didn't want to care what Orochimaru meant by what he said.

Because he felt that he and Orochimaru couldn't pee in the same pot.

However, since I have been targeted by such a person, it seems that I must speed up the improvement of my strength.

The arrival of Orochimaru just now also calmed down Okamoto Dousuke's restless heart. He packed up, moved instantly, and rushed home.

The next day, after washing up, Okamoto Dousuke picked up the forehead protector on the table.

"You are a very handsome boy." Putting the forehead protector on his forehead and looking at himself in the mirror, Okamoto Dousuke praised himself sincerely.

After going out, he jumped a few times, stopped on the roof, and rushed towards the direction of Konoha Hospital.

"Sister Jie Nai, Dr. Xiao An Yuan, hello." When I arrived at the hospital and entered the lobby, I saw two people busying around.

"Doujie, why don't you stay at home and rest for a few more days." Xiao Anyuan greeted enthusiastically.

"I can't stay idle at home, so I came to see Teacher Tsunade and my teammates." Okamoto Dousuke replied with a smile.

"Hmph!" Yuino glanced at Okamoto Dousuke, ignored him, and turned to deal with other patients.

Okamoto Dousuke looked at Yuino and touched the back of his head helplessly, "Doctor Yasumoto, I'm going to go see my captain and the others!"

Xiao Anyuan, who was feeling uncomfortable with the awkward atmosphere between Yuino and Okamoto Dousuke, said quickly, "Okay, go ahead."

Okamoto Dousuke arrived at the inpatient department and went straight to Nakajima Soudai's room.

Tuk-tuk-tuk.

"Please come in"

Okamoto Dousuke pushed the door open and found Nakajima Sodai wearing a jacket and packing his clothes.

"Captain Nakajima, what are you doing?"

Nakajima Sodai turned around and found that it was Okamoto Dousuke and said, "Oh, it's Dousuke. As you can see, my injuries have improved a lot and I'm ready to be discharged from the hospital."

Okamoto Dousuke stepped forward to help Nakajima Sodai clean up.

"Captain Nakajima, after you get better, can we still do the mission together?"

"I don't know either. Reconnaissance missions are randomly assembled. After the mission is completed, the team will be disbanded. Maybe someone else will lead you next time. But don't worry, if you need anything in the future, just come to me directly." Nakajima Sodai said sincerely as he looked at his subordinate.

This mission is really thanks to this 9-year-old boy in front of us, with the potential and ability shown by Okamoto Dousuke in this mission.

This reminded Nakajima Sodai of another disciple of the Three Ninjas, Minato Namikaze, and how he became a Jonin at a young age. He was also born a commoner and was also very outstanding.

Maybe in a few years, this kid will become an excellent jonin like Namikaze jonin.

"Okay, I'm going home. Do you want to come to my house and sit down?" Nakajima Sodai picked up his packed personal belongings and looked at Okamoto Dousuke who was still in a daze and invited him.

"Ah." Okamoto Dousuke looked at Nakajima Sodai who invited him with a smile.

"I'm sorry, Captain Nakajima, I have to go visit Takuto Aburame later. I'll come to see you next time!" Okamoto Dousuke said with a little apology.

"It's okay, there will be plenty of time in the future. Takuto, I went to see him, but his condition was not good. It was my misjudgment in this mission. I hope you can persuade him." Nakajima Sodai said sadly.

"Captain Nakajima, you don't have to blame yourself. Accidents during missions are inevitable."

"I know, thank you, Dousuke. I'll leave first then." Then Nakajima Sodai left the ward.

Looking at Nakajima Sodai who was slowly walking away, Okamoto Dousuke turned and walked towards Aburame Takuto's ward.

Walking to the door of the ward, Okamoto Dousuke couldn't help but think of the last time he and Hinata Ritsu were preparing to visit Aburame Takuto.

"Well, let's wait and see." Okamoto Dousuke walked forward and prepared to knock on the door.

Squeak.

The ward door was opened from the inside.

Aburame Takuto, wearing a striped hospital gown, held onto a walker with both hands, followed by a charming woman.

Aburame Takuto and Okamoto Dousuke at the door looked into each other's eyes.

"Dousuke, why are you here?" Aburame Takuto asked first.

"I came to see how you are doing." Okamoto Dousuke said as he looked at his teammates who were moving forward step by step.

"Thank you for still thinking of me." Aburame Takuto lowered his head and said weakly.

After saying that, Aburame Takuto slowly moved towards the door with the help of the walker.

The woman behind Aburame Takuto stepped forward to support him, "Takuto, slow down."

Then he said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Lady Tsunade told Takuto to get out of bed and walk around more often if he's fine."

"It's okay, Auntie. I'm also a doctor in the hospital. Let me do it. I'll walk with Takuto and talk to him." After saying that, Okamoto Dousuke walked forward and supported Takuto Aburame.

The two of them walked slowly, step by step, out of the corridor.

Watching the two people slowly walking away, Takuto's mother wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"Mousuke, I haven't thanked you and Ritsu for saving my life yet. Without you, I would definitely not have survived this mission." Aburame Takuto said to Okamoto Mousuke who was supporting him.

"What are you talking about? I was just trying to save myself. Besides, if you hadn't controlled the second Yang Cang in the end, I would not have been able to defeat him. Besides, he committed suicide himself." Okamoto Dousuke said while pulling the walker in front.

"Well, anyway, your timely treatment saved my legs. If it weren't for your treatment at that time, I would have to rely on a wheelchair for the rest of my life."

"Although I may not be able to be a ninja anymore, I am very satisfied." Aburame Takuto said with a melancholy tone.

"I know you came here to persuade me. Don't worry, I have thought it through clearly. You don't have to worry about me. I am thankful that my name is not engraved on the monument." Aburame Takuto looked at the sun in the sky and squinted his painful eyes.

"I have decided to open a pet shop in the future. If you want to buy a pet, I will give it to you for free." Aburame Takuto said with a smile.

Looking at Takuto Aburame who was gradually smiling in front of him, Dousuke Okamoto couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, come for a walk with me, I'll give you a chance to tell you how things are going with Hyuga Ritsu." Aburame Takuto asked with a smile on his face.

"What happened?"

"Still pretending. Actually, I saw you, Hinata Ritsu, the first time you came to see me and left. I remember you held my hand and left at that time." Aburame Takuto blinked at Okamoto Dousuke.

"We are still teammates. Just like the relationship between you and me." Okamoto Dousuke whispered.

"Forget it...I don't believe it..."

"If you don't believe it, forget it..."

Amid the noise, the two people slowly walked away.
