Chapter 284: Ch.284 It Begins!
Though everyone was worried about Yakumo's surgery, as shinobi, they possessed the most basic resolve. So the gathering didn't devolve into excessive fussing. After eating heartily and happily, they each said their goodbyes.
Yakumo admired the village's night scenery while walking toward the hospital.
The surgery was scheduled for tomorrow!
At that moment, Ido, within her mental world, suddenly spoke up, "Tomorrow's really going to be fine? If you accidentally die, we're all done for."
"I trust the lord!"
Yakumo's answer was firm and resolute.
Ido said slowly, "But there's always the chance of an accident..."
Yakumo smiled, "So you're this afraid of dying? Someone who's always shouting about becoming a shinobi can't be this scared of death!"
"Tch," Ido spat lightly before saying, "Once the surgery's over, we're going to beat up all those geniuses at the shinobi academy and show them how strong we are!"
"You got it!"
Yakumo's steps grew noticeably lighter.
