Chapter 346: Unusually Smooth
Under Nagato's leadership, a large group of people had unknowingly entered someone's territory. By eliminating the small force guarding it, they finally secured a temporary place to call home.
"Lie still, I'll heal you first."
Nagato pushed the bodies around him aside and pinned Yahiko to the ground. Yahiko, pale and weak, had been left bleeding until now.
Who knows how much chicken soup he'll need to get his strength back.
"I'm fine, you go treat the others first," Yahiko said, playing his part convincingly. Despite his weakened appearance, his voice was clear and steady.
"My lord, you should treat him first," one of the onlooking Ame Ninja suggested.
"We're fine," another chimed in.
The Ame Ninja still had some conscience; seeing Yahiko in such a pitiful state moved him deeply, almost enough to bow to him on the spot. This is a reincarnated living Buddha!
"Alright, just give me a moment," Nagato said. "My friend here is also a medical-nin—she can help with that."
He gave Nonō a quick wink before turning his focus back to Yahiko. A soft green glow emanated from his hands as Yahiko's wounds slowly began to heal.
"If I don't nail this mission, all this blood I've shed will be for nothing," Yahiko muttered with a wry grin.
