Chapter 353 A Love War with an Impure Purpose, Won Silently
Chapter 353 A love war with an impure purpose, winning silently, Nohara Nao’s quiet defeat
"What?"
Nohara Nao was stunned. She stared at the purple wristband in Naruto's hand and was speechless. I felt a little bored for a moment, and complex emotions came to my mind.
She originally thought that Naruto was waiting to strike up a conversation, and she didn't think he had any good intentions. I was cursing in my heart and was planning to get rid of him.
Unexpectedly, he took out a wristband with his backhand and placed it neatly in the palm of his hand.
Only then did she have the intention to look at Naruto carefully, or to be precise, at Kitahiko's appearance. His plain face turned out to be more pleasing to the eye, and he was quite tall.
This is the charm and blessing effect of krypton gold. When most people have nothing to praise, their minds will jump to the evaluation of height, um, not bad, quite tall.
Naruto didn't care. When he saw Nohara Nao looking at him, he knew in his heart that the money spent was finally worth it. He didn't show it on his face, he was still sincere.
"You didn't replace your wristband even though it was broken. I think you are probably feeling nostalgic." He said with a smile. "The wristband is not a valuable thing, but it will continue to wear out."
"I remember that medical ninjas are not allowed to wear wristbands unless there are special circumstances in the medical class. This wristband meets medical standards. If you ask, it should be wearable for a long time."
"Thank you." Nohara Nao stuttered a little, not because she was moved.
She is not a fool, a wrist guard can impress her. There was already a group of people following her, and she just thought this person was a bit interesting.
At least he wasn't someone who tried to figure her out in just a few words. She had seen too many such people. If it weren't for the small influence of his parents, I'm afraid he would have been surrounded and pursued a long time ago.
However, the person in front of me looked cleaner than in the afternoon, and there were no distracting thoughts in his eyes. It was rare for him to be able to speak a few words normally.
"That's it for now, I'll go back first." Naruto smiled, "My home is a bit far away and a bit shabby, so it shouldn't be in the same direction as yours."
"Well, okay." Nohara Nao was thinking about what to say when she suddenly heard farewell. She responded and raised her head, unable to help but ask.
"Hey, where do you live?"
"South, over there at Huayin Lane." Naruto answered honestly.
"By the way, my home is also in that direction." Nohara Nao's mood suddenly improved, her voice was filled with ups and downs of emotion, and she had a happy expression on her face.
That's how people are, they have a rebellious mentality.
Nohara Nao was originally depressed inside, and the milder she acted, the more serious she became. Every day she meets people who want to get through to her, and they can't hide their thoughts at all.
Originally, she had a fixed impression when she suddenly saw someone taking pictures of her. She felt relieved immediately. She happened to be on the way and had the idea to continue the conversation.
In her opinion, Naruto looked ordinary with this face, and he didn't have any bad intentions. She was able to control Naruto and control him through charm.
But when everything was under her control, she was less repulsive. I don’t really like it, but I just think this opportunity is rare and I can take a breather.
Naruto was brushed off from her at the beginning, and was classified as impossible in Nohara Nao's heart. It was precisely because of this that when Naruto showed that he had no purpose, she felt the desire to talk.
Human nature is despicable. Naruto raised his head and stared at her for a second. In that second, Nohara Nao actually felt worried for a moment. She was worried that Naruto would reject her dully and then turn around and go back.
Bang bang.
Her heart beat twice, and her mouth was actually a little dry.
Fortunately, a gentle smile soon appeared on Naruto's face, he touched his face and said, "Okay."
Hunters always appear in the form of prey. Naruto silently thought about the indifference in Nohara Nao's eyes at noon, and tried to control her temper by a third.
"Are you tired from working in the hospital?" Naruto and Sakura have been together for a long time, and they are familiar with some topics in Konoha Hospital, and have heard about all kinds of troubles.
After talking about this topic, you can immediately move to the next topic without any embarrassment. When Nohara Nao spoke, he listened silently.
As you come and go, Nohara Nao gradually talks more and more. Sometimes the topic only requires one sentence, and then Nohara Nao is left talking alone.
After talking a lot, she suddenly felt comfortable. It feels much more enjoyable than being self-sufficient. I am completely relaxed mentally and my whole body feels a lot lighter.
"Yes, this is indeed the case in hospitals." Naruto was still echoing, his eyes slowly scanning around.
"Hey, why are you so familiar with Konoha Hospital? Have you ever been a medical ninja before?" Nohara Nao finally couldn't help asking, starting to become curious about Naruto.
After all, even though he didn't say much along the way, he did say a lot at the beginning. But the questions she asked resonated with her every time, and the topic changed well.
It's like...as if he did it in Konoha Hospital. Everything is clear about everything, but occasionally there are some small details that don't match up, but it doesn't matter.
"Oh, I have a friend who used to be a medical ninja." Naruto opened his mouth.
"Who is it? Do I know him?" she asked curiously.
"Died on the battlefield." Naruto said calmly. There was no evidence of the instant death, and no one would investigate such a thing.
"Feel sorry."
"No need," he said.
Normally at this point, the topic would become awkward, but that didn't happen with Naruto. After all, what he just told was a lie and he randomly picked up another topic.
While the two were chatting, naturally they talked about the future.
"Do you think the village will go to war?" Nohara Nao's face looked a little ugly and she asked worriedly.
"It's impossible to say for sure, but you are a medical ninja." Naruto paused and said, "Generally, there is no need to go to the front line. It is relatively safe."
"That said." Nohara Nao was actually a little embarrassed. She really didn't want to go to the battlefield anymore. The destruction of the entire team left a huge psychological shadow on her.
If her teammates hadn't been dragging them to death, if she hadn't been lucky enough to come back with a scar on her body, I'm afraid...
The image of his teammates covered in blood was still vivid in his mind, and Nohara Nao's face paled a few shades in an instant.
"What’s wrong with you?"
"fine."
After a while, her face did look better, and she asked kindly again.
"how about you?"
"Me?" Naruto stopped and turned to look at her, "Me what?"
"Medical ninjas are relatively safe, what about you?" Nohara Nao bit her lower lip and stayed with Naruto, feeling more relaxed physically and mentally.
There are many things that cannot be said, but now I can say them to a certain extent. This feeling made her feel very comfortable and released her suppressed emotions.
Naturally, she didn't want to see Naruto's body tomorrow or next time.
The value of emotions is irreplaceable, and emotions are almost an unsolvable problem. If no one understood, she could only keep it all in her heart like before.
Little by little, there is a backlog, and there is no way to release it.
After experiencing an emotional release, Nohara Nao naturally did not want to go back to her past life. In her eyes, Naruto was her stress relief valve.
"I'll just leave it like this, what else can I do." A wry smile appeared on Naruto's face, "I was lucky last time, but I don't know next time. Just leave it to fate."
"People have to die anyway. I'm just an ordinary chuunin. The village issued a mission, so naturally I went with them."
"Then how about asking them to take more care of you?" She frowned and naturally regarded Naruto as her own, standing aside and thinking.
"Yamashiro Nohi seems to be quite strong. If he is willing to help you, he may have a higher chance of surviving in danger."
"It's useless." There was no trace of acting on Naruto's face. "When it comes to life and death, whoever is willing to do that kind of thing will have escaped from death."
Hearing this, Nohara Nao fell silent.
Although this doesn't sound good, it is indeed true. When people experience life and death for the first time, they may be afraid, radical, or even angry, and sacrifice death for the survival of their teammates.
But after escaping from death, most people will hesitate when facing another death. This is human nature, no one wants to die.
The two parted at the intersection and spent the night without talking.
As long as he came, he would settle down. Naruto didn't even recognize the bed, so he made do with it and got a good sleep. I didn't have the means to take a shower when I got up in the morning, so I just washed myself and left.
I have no other mission these days, except Nao Munohara. Increasing his favorability point little by little, he estimated that the cannon fodder squad would be on a mission soon.
Although the money in his pocket is cleaner than his face, fortunately he has free ramen coupons for more than half a month, so he doesn't need to worry about eating the above problems.
There are only two sets of clothes, and I will take turns to wear them for the time being. He hasn't asked about the price of the clothes yet. If he is cheated out of his money, the boss will be free.
He spent nearly two thousand taels of the remaining money to take a bath. Take a dip once a day at noon. Apart from anything else, you still need to pay attention to personal hygiene.
Secondly, he had nothing to do and didn't want to go back to that humid home, so he spent most of the time wandering outside. Waiting for Nohara Nao to get off work, the excuse I made today was to borrow books from her.
Establish an image in advance that he is passionate about medical knowledge. Although he borrowed books and turned pages with his hands without looking, the devil is always hidden in the details.
After another two or three days of normalcy, starting from the ice-breaker of giving them wristbands, the relationship between the two has advanced rapidly. Nohara Nao even started looking forward to meeting her before she got off work. It was an indescribable feeling.
In the past, every time she got off work, she would have the mentality of going to a grave. But these days, after getting off work, a smile gradually appeared on her face. Start looking forward to the relaxed atmosphere after get off work, and even think about what you want to talk about in advance.
The people in the medical class also saw some signs, and smiled and joked to the little sister who jumped in line halfway.
"What good happened to this?"
"Hey, I saw him last time after get off work. Is that person your date?"
"That should be it. How many times has it been? I saw that man waiting for Nao several times. The sentry also said that he just came here squatting."
At first she didn't think anything of it when she was teased, and she would even make jokes to accommodate him. Because she didn't care and didn't think about Naruto in that regard.
But after a long time, the good plantains could not withstand the erosion of heavy rain.
She gradually became a little embarrassed. Occasionally she heard people in the medical class making fun of her, and Nohara Nao would tell those sisters to stop talking.
At the same time, while seeing Naruto unshakably every day, she also had a question in her mind.
What is that person thinking?
She doesn't like Naruto, but she doesn't reject him either. She wasn't interested in this kind of thing originally, she just needed Naruto to be by her side.
But the comments from her colleagues in recent days made her a little panicked, thinking what if one day he heard these words and never came again?
Do you have to go find him yourself? I definitely can't do such a thing on my own, but if it really gets to that point, do I really want to return to the way it was?
Just recalling the depressing feeling when she was alone, Nohara Nao felt a tightness in her heart. Unknowingly, I was led out of the darkness by him, and I never wanted to go back.
Instead of passively facing it, it is better to take the initiative and ask. No matter how bad it is, even if he has some ideas, if the current situation can continue, even if it is given to him.
She gritted her teeth and already made a decision in her heart. She is not a rigid person and must meet the right person. In this period, she will not think about men and women at all.
Heartbeat is a thing of the past. Only the eldest ladies from noble families would pursue love at this time and find someone they like to be with.
She just wants someone to continue to accompany her, someone waiting for her every day. Even though her heart had never moved, she really couldn't live without that person.
On the way, Naruto saw Nohara Nao's absent-mindedness, so he asked her.
"What's wrong with you?"
"I almost lost my mind." She smiled, lowered her head and thought for a while, then raised her head and said half-jokingly, "They saw us walking together like this."
"who are they?"
"You should have seen some of the sisters in the medical class, but you just didn't come up to say hello."
"Oh, what's wrong?" Naruto pretended to be confused.
"They. They are always making fun of us." Nohara Nao said nervously, "I was thinking that there are rumors among us that you want to chase me."
As soon as she finished speaking, she heard laughter coming from beside her, as if she had been holding back for a long time. Suddenly, Nohara Nao felt a little embarrassed and thought to herself, why are you laughing at me?
"why are you laughing!"
She turned her head abruptly, only to see Naruto looking at the darkness ahead and speaking softly.
"You just found out."
With Dong's voice, Nohara Nao turned her head, feeling a little embarrassed. I don't know why, but for a moment just now, I thought Beiyan's ordinary appearance was pretty good-looking.
"What do you think this is?" Nohara Nao was a little embarrassed, lowered her head and kicked a stone, "Confession? It's not romantic at all."
"Besides, it's impossible for me to fall in love with you. I don't mean anything else. I just don't feel anything about that kind of thing, not about you, nor about anyone else."
"I like you." Naruto stopped and said in a voice that she could hear clearly.
As the words fell, only the night wind whistled in his ears. It was so quiet that you could hear the beating of your heart. Nohara Nao raised her head in surprise and quickly turned away.
"It's okay to like someone. Anyway, it's your fault that you like me. You can't like me. You can like someone else."
"There is a very good-looking person in our medical class with a very good personality. If you think about it, you will definitely like her."
When Nohara Nao was the only one chattering on the road, Naruto smiled silently.
He knew he had won.
