Chapter 280: Preparing for Surgery
A few more days passed.
Nagato decided to share the good news with Nonō only after confirming that all the patients' postoperative conditions were stable.
At Anbu No. 3 training ground, Nonō was sparring vigorously with her teammate. The two exchanged blows, their movements swift and precise.
From a distance, Nagato approached at a run. Seeing the sparring session, he didn't interrupt and waited quietly on the sidelines.
"That's enough for now," Nonō's teammate said, sidestepping to avoid her attack and retreating swiftly.
"I've only just warmed up," Nonō said, stopping in confusion. She couldn't understand why her teammate suddenly pulled back.
"Look over there," her teammate said, pointing behind her.
Nonō turned and saw Nagato standing not far away. With her back turned earlier, she hadn't noticed him.
"Pain, were you looking for me?" Nonō asked, trotting toward him with a tone of joy that anyone could notice.
"Well, I want to tell you something," Nagato said calmly, showing no particular reaction.
"Come, let's go over there and talk," Nonō said, reaching out to grab Nagato's hand. Together, they walked toward an unoccupied corner.
