Chapter 778: Yahiko's Ominous Premonition

Because the current timeline was several years earlier than the timeline they were scheduled to go to, Naruto and his party, before embarking on a new round of time travel, simply used this short buffer time of a few days as a vacation period to rest and relax. Even with the fact that he was well prepared in advance to ensure that everyone could have whatever they wanted even if they didn't leave the belly space of the toad, it made it possible to go out regularly on weekdays, in addition to the "beautiful girl" character who needed to maintain "Naruko" in Yuyin Village to fish for his whereabouts. The rest of the time, everyone was happy to stay in the stomach of the toad in the world, and lived a good and wandering fairy life without hearing anything outside the window.

Of course, in this process, the unconscious Yahiko and Nagato were quickly healed by Xiangri's excellent medical skills and completely recovered their health. And the day after Naruto met Konan, he woke up and turned around......

……

"Hmm...... Uh——!h What a good night's sleep! ”

After waking up naturally after a long sleep, Yahiko, who opened his sleepy eyes dimly and sat up from the bed with a yawn, instinctively stretched his waist in that unconscious muttering emotion.

It's just that Yahiko, who is refreshed at the moment and makes an emotional declaration, has never thought of it......

For Yahiko, he may have just slept comfortably.

But for Naruto and his party, Yahiko had been asleep for a whole day and a night since he was taken by Naruto to the stomach of the toad after being taken by Naruto along with Nagato and Konan. Even when Yahiko woke up, it was already the twilight of the sunset, and the night was about to fall. It's just that the stomach of the world toad has not deliberately changed out of the window, which makes it even more difficult for Yahiko, who is in it, to perceive the change of time.

Of course, despite being asleep for such a long time, at the same time that Yahiko and Nagato lost consciousness, the body was driven by the mechanism of self-protection, and most of the body's functions were transferred into a state of sleep, so as to ensure the body's consumption and demand for energy. Even Yahiko, who had just woken up and was not yet fully conscious, did not notice it......

After losing the protection of his parents, he almost never had a full belly, and even after sleeping for a day and a night, he still seemed to have eaten too much, and there was no hunger at all!

"Sure enough, it's still the most comfortable to sleep in the bed, it's soft and warm, and it makes people want to leave the bed...... Well? Wait a minute...... Soft ...... Bed......?! ”

Fortunately, Yahiko is the backbone of the trio after all, and is often responsible for making ideas, making Yahiko more precocious and stable than Nagato and Konan. So much so that the trance unreality brought by just waking up gradually dissipates after the invisibility with the return of consciousness. Yahiko, who subconsciously grasped and kneaded the palm of his hand, finally realized that something was wrong.

"Bed...... It's a real bed...... And this room...... I...... I wouldn't still be dreaming and never woke up, would I? ”

With little to think about, let alone look at the décor in the room, Yahiko could be sure that what she was in was no longer the airtight bridge that she had in her impression of barely standing up, but not sheltering at all. So much so that he muttered to himself in a daze, Yahiko, who subconsciously raised his hand, aimed at his arm, and pinched it hard without sparing!

"Huh——! Pain Pain Pain Pain Pain ...... Pain——! I didn't wake up, and I didn't go back to the bridge...... So I ...... now Not a dream?! ”

In the next second, the intense pain in her heart and bones, and the unchanged scenery in front of her, made Yahiko sure that she had completely awakened and was not trapped in some unrealistic daydream. Before Yahiko, who was screaming in pain, had time to be happy about it, his face changed suddenly, and he shouted loudly in panic.

"Wait a minute, if I'm not dreaming...... And what about Konan and Nagato? Where did they go! You won't be starving and freezing in that hellish place, will you?! Xiao Nan! Nagato! Are you there——! ”

Before the words fell, Yahiko, who was worried about the safety of his partners, pressed his attachment to the warm quilt, and directly lifted the quilt and jumped out of bed. Then, in the midst of that loud shout, trying to get a response from his companions, Yahiko ran with all his strength towards the half-hidden and half-open door of the room, which was obviously the only entrance and exit, with his bare feet.

But in the next second, the half-open door was slowly opened with a creak. Even Yahiko's entire body froze in place in front of the figure that entered the room later. It was even more like seeing a ghost, and began to retreat back again and again.

"I said how did I hear a movement just now, and sure enough, you little guy woke up...... How's it going, has the body recovered? Is there anything else you feel uncomfortable with? ”

And the one who opened the door and walked into the room was naturally Naruto, who had just returned to the space inside the stomach of the toad after finishing today's "Naruko" outing show. Immediately, when he saw Yahiko retreating and retreating, like a little wild cat that had blown up his hair, he curled up directly into the corner of the wall as if he wanted to dig a hole in the room and hide himself. After staring at Naruto's figure with that vicious gaze full of vigilance and vigilance, Naruto shook his head with a smile and a gentle teasing.

"Huh? How did you get out of the corner? I look ...... Is it that scary? ”

Between the words, with his experience with Xiao Nan, it was enough for Naruto to realize that Yahiko's fear of himself after just a few breaths must be because of the ninja forehead guard of Konoha Ninja Village that he showed after removing the disguise of the transformation technique.

After all, although in order to avoid affecting the development of history, when Naruto walked in the Rain Hidden Village, whether it was "Naruko" or when he first met Konan, he used the effect of the transformation technique to deliberately hide the existence of the forehead protection. But when he returned to "home", Naruto who didn't need to continue to maintain his disguise and didn't intend to waste Chakra in vain, naturally wanted to restore his original appearance.

In this case, because the parents of the frog squad trio, without exception, were affected by this devastating ninja war and left them, the frog squad trio had great fear and hostility towards the ninjas of Konoha Village, or, more accurately, the profession of "ninja". And then it would be not surprising that Naruto appeared so panicked when he stepped into the room.

"Don't worry, silly boy, if I really want to be bad for you, why bother to help you heal and prepare a new set of clothes for you?" There is a book shortage

"Now that you're awake, come with me to the restaurant. Dinner was almost ready, and it was ready to be served soon. ”

As soon as the words fell, Naruto paused his progress so as not to irritate Yahiko too much,

"No, I'll have to go back to them...... Nagato is sick, and Konan is not good at finding food, so I don't have it."

With Xiao Nan's introduction and explanation, Yahiko and Nagato, who were far more vigilant than Xiao Nan, knew that the group of strangers in front of them had saved their lives......

Even because the cause of his parents' death was related to the ninjas of Konoha Village—even Nagato's parents were killed by the ninjas of Konoha Village in front of Nagato's eyes—Jean Yahiko and Nagato, like Konan, who first met Naruto, had a deep sense of hostility and distrust towards Naruto and his party wearing Konoha Village forehead guards.

But under the full kindness of Naruto and his entourage, as well as the undeniable life-saving kindness, it can also make these two little guys let down their vigilance a little bit. In the end, like Xiao Nan, he slowly integrated into this warm and comfortable family.

Because the current timeline was several years earlier than the timeline they were scheduled to go to, Naruto and his party, before embarking on a new round of time travel, simply used this short buffer time of a few days as a vacation period to rest and relax. Even with the fact that he was well prepared in advance to ensure that everyone could have whatever they wanted even if they didn't leave the belly space of the toad, it made it possible to go out regularly on weekdays, in addition to the "beautiful girl" character who needed to maintain "Naruko" in Yuyin Village to fish for his whereabouts.
