Chapter 58 : Goodbye
Under the moonlight, Hayate is saying goodbye to Yugao.
"This time, my task is to follow the Sand Village's Jonin Maki, and I may not see you for a while."
Yugao always felt restless after hearing that Hayate was going to carry out this task, and couldn't help but hold Hayate back and said, "It's too dangerous, that man can even fight Kakashi-senpai to a draw."
Hayate forced a smile: "But someone has to go. In this case, I am the most suitable person who is good at tracking."
"But—"
Before Yugao could finish speaking, Hayate hugged her before turning around and leaving.
"I'm going."
Yugao didn't know the true meaning of what Hayate said, nor did she see the tears that Hayate shed when he turned around, but she suddenly felt an inexplicable distress.
Obviously, I didn't feel this way when Hayate performed more dangerous missions before. Hayate... you must come back safely.
After leaving Yugao, Hayate finally couldn't help crying. Tears fell drop by drop, but his footsteps didn't waver in the slightest.
Just as Hayate was about to go to the target, a voice rang in his ear.
