Chapter 44: Visiting and Returning Home
There are still ten days left before the graduation exams of Naruto Uzumaki and the others.
Zhou You, dressed in civilian clothes, walked through the familiar noisy Konoha neighborhood and came to Konoha Hospital.
Since it is not wartime, most of the people in the hospital are civilians with colds, flu, sprains, etc. Except for the one in charge of vigilance and the medical ninja, there is almost no trace of other ninjas in the tour.
Walk through the hospital lobby to the inpatient department. He walked very slowly, carrying some fruits and condolences that are commonly used to visit patients.
At this time, you can see several Konoha ninjas coming and leaving, all with relaxed or gloating expressions on their faces.
The worried expression can only be seen on the faces of the ninjas who occasionally pass by.
"Konoha of Seihei, after a few years or so of a stable life, it is difficult to see a serious expression on the face of the Konoha ninja now. Everyone seemed to be looking forward to the future, and they were not aware of the shadow that was about to fall. In addition to Tuan Zang, maybe he just wanted to have a warning effect, maybe he never expected that the damage caused by Orochimaru's attack would be so big, right? Zhou You sighed in his heart.
Then he shook his head and thought in his heart, "What does it matter to me if others live or die?" It's better to worry about yourself."
The tour quickened, and his steps walked towards Hinata's hospital room.
Before coming to the door of the ward, I first looked at the situation in the ward by the corridor window.
There was nothing to avoid in the room, only Hinata Okita and his mother lying on the hospital bed.
So he walked to the door of the ward and knocked lightly on the door twice. Then he twisted the doorknob, opened the door, and walked in.
"Hello aunt! How is Okita-kun doing now? Zhou You put the condolences in his hand on the bedside table of Okita's hospital bed. first said hello to Hinata Okita's mother, and then asked Hinata Okita about his situation.
There are a lot of condolences sent by other people on the bedside table, and there are a lot of fruits and the like.
"I just fell asleep, and I'm already much better, but Okita was still worried about you just now," Okita's mother responded to Zhou You.
Hinata Okita's mother was just an ordinary person, his father was killed in the battle with Yun Shinobi after the Nine-Tails attack, and because his father was only an elite shinobi when he died, Hinata Okita was never valued by the clan when he was a child.
But now, of course, it's a different story. Twelve-year-old Nakashinobi is a good strength in that village, but Hinata Okita is shrouded in the aura of Zhou You and Hinata Ninji.
When he was a child, Hinata Okita happened to be one of the beneficiaries, so Hinata Okita has always respected Zhouyu.
For the worship of Hinata Ninji, Hinata Okita may have received more education from the family and so on. But for traveling around, it may be more about gratitude in the heart.
In terms of age, Hinata Okita is even about two months older than Hiroyu.
Perhaps it was the conversation between Zhou You and Hinata Okita that woke Hinata Okita, who opened his eyes and looked at Zhou You, who was dressed in civilian clothes, looking a little excited, and his face was slightly red.
"Nasan-kun, you're back safely. How's the mission? ”
"Well, of course the mission was successful, but it's just a normal C-class mission, and with Kakashi-sensei's help. Okita-kun is too worried, how is your body? How long will it take to get back to normal, and I'm waiting for you to get ready for the next mission together. Zhou You nodded in response to Hinata's greeting, and then explained.
"It's already much better," Hinata Okita said as he lay on the hospital bed and stretched his legs and hands and made a few simple movements.
Then, as if thinking of something, Hinata Okita said with a slightly bitter face:
"It's just that it may take about half a month to return to a free state, and then it will have to go through hard training to get back to the best state of the body."
Sensing that Hinata Okita might be afraid that his injuries would affect the mission of the three of them, Zhou You spoke:
"It's okay, we're just a lower ninja now, and we haven't upgraded to a middle ninja yet. So the intensity of the task won't be too great, so you can recuperate with peace of mind. ”
After Zhou You finished speaking, he patted Hinata Okita on the shoulder and shook his head to signal that he didn't have to worry.
After listening to Zhouyu's words, Hinata's face improved a little. But Hinata Okita's face still gave him a feeling of some anxiety when he traveled around.
So Zhou You hurriedly changed the topic and said:
"What about Yao? Why didn't you see her coming? ”
At this time, Hinata Okita's mother, who had not interjected, spoke:
"Yao-chan? She came a lot, but when she came this morning, she saw that Okita was still sleeping, so she left the soup and left," and then pointed to a brand new thermos pot on the bedside table.
"Hehe, Hinata-kun." Zhou Yu joked to Hinata Okita with a smile on his face.
"Na So-kun......" Hinata Okita looked a little blushing.
"Nai Song-kun, you two talk first, and I'll help you pour some water."
Hinata Okita's mother saw the two of them say this, and subconsciously felt that she should avoid it and let the two young people communicate well. Obviously, the style of the two of them talking half of the way is obviously due to their own presence.
After speaking, he carried the teapot and prepared to go to get a pot of boiling water.
"Auntie is really hard," Zhou You said, looking at Okita's mother, who was gradually walking out of the room with a kettle.
"Well, it's really hard Mother." Hinata Okita also felt something when he heard Zhou Yu's words.
The two waited for a while, and Hinata's mother walked in with a freshly filled kettle and told them that she was going home to prepare dinner.
Zhou You took the cup and poured a glass of water for himself and Hinata Ningji. Zhou You took a sip of the water cup in his hand, put it on the cabinet, turned his head to Hinata Okita and asked:
"By the way, how are you and Yao doing?"
"Uh..................."
Zhou Yu and Hinata Okita chatted for a long time until Hinata Okita's mother brought dinner.
Under the small talk with Hinata Okita, Zhou You found that Hinata Okita didn't seem to have made much progress, so he revealed a lot of skills that were still only on paper in Zhou You's heart.
declined the other party's invitation to dine together, and walked out of the hospital.
Walking out of the hospital, it was already dusk, and it should be almost dark at this time in winter.
As soon as I returned home, a servant came to inform Zhou Yu at the door that Mito Menyan had returned.
Zhou You heard the servant's report, looked down at the time, and found that Mito Menyan actually went home early today, and is now waiting for Zhou You in the hall.
Zhou You's heart warmed slightly, and he quickened his pace and walked towards the main house.
As soon as Zhou You walked into the hall, he heard the sound of Mito Menyan.
"You come back, Nayu."
Zhou You looked at Mito Menyan who got up from his seat in the hall, and his mood fluctuated a little.
"I'm back, Grandpa."
"Come and show me."
Zhou You heard the words and walked to Mito Menyan's side. Mito Menyan hugged Zhou You and pulled Zhou You into his arms, and kept stroking the back of Zhou You's head with his right hand.
When Zhou You felt a little hot in his chest, Mito Menyan let go of Zhou You.
Hold Zhou You in front of him, look at it carefully, then reach out and touch Zhou You's chest, carefully touch and press it, then he shows a satisfied look.
