Roll back from Naruto

"woke up"

Aragaki heard the doctor's voice, but he was certain that he had not returned from death, because this scene did not exist in his memory.

"All the Sunagakures who raided the camp have been wiped out. It's safe now. You can put down the knife in your hand." The doctor reminded Aragaki, because he suddenly found that he was still holding the knife tightly in his hand.

Failure to hold the blade means death. This is something he and Nohara learned from countless death duels.

Letting go of his hand, he could feel the blade in his hand being taken away by the doctor, but at the same time he also realized that the pain in his eye was probably wrapped by a bandage, so he couldn't see now.

But the doctor's voice was clearer in his ears: "Why didn't you retreat then? You have to know that if you retreated with the team, you wouldn't have lost your eyes. So do you regret it?"

So am I blind? Aragaki couldn't help but laugh at himself. Who has ever seen a protagonist who is blind and disabled in just the first few chapters?

"Haha, I lied to you, your eyes are not blind. But your body has become worse. It seems that you will have to lie in bed for a few more days.

But looking at you like this, you probably won’t be sad even if you are really blind. After all, you still care about a pair of eyes if you don’t even care about your life, right?”

The doctor couldn't help but mock Aragaki, who was lying on the hospital bed and wrapped like a rice dumpling.

"Actually, there was no need for you to stay at that time. If it was just to prove yourself, there was no need to do so. What the ANBU did was indeed a bit excessive, but you have to believe that Konoha will not kill a meritorious official so easily."

It turned out that the doctor believed that the reason why Aragaki chose to stay and fight when the Suna Ninja raided the camp was to prove his innocence. After all, "I risked my life for Konoha, do you still need to doubt my identity?"

Although this approach seems very childish to the doctor, it seems that it is also being cleaned up, just like a few years ago when she was only 12 years old, she was not equally anxious to "prove" through various means. Own.

But, then again, this was the first time she had seen a genin as young as Aragaki who was determined to die, and his spiritual will was unique among his peers. At least she couldn't do this herself. degree.

"Well, you don't have to worry about the ANBU. They will definitely not look for you so diligently in the future." Then she comforted Aragaki.

"Thank you." Aragaki finally spoke.

"Well, that's it. You take good care of yourself and I'll come see you when I have time."

"Ah."

Aragaki listened to the doctor's footsteps gradually moving away, and everything around him became quiet. The night was so quiet that only insects and birds chirped.

A few more days passed. In these days, doctors would come to treat Aragaki's injuries at fixed times, and this became what he looked forward to most. For him, the rest of the 24 hours a day could be hazy, but this was the only one. It took less than an hour for him to feel alive.

This is because doctors usually use medical ninjutsu to treat him. At this time, medical ninjutsu can temporarily relieve the cell and nerve trauma caused by the unstoppable thunder-type chakra in his body.

On the other hand, only the doctor in the entire camp could talk to him without any scruples, even though he usually only said um um oh oh. After all, at this time, even the two wolf-headed cat faces of the ANBU no longer existed. Come and visit Aragaki Si.

The doctor left the camp again. The doctor was always busy, as if she had many things to deal with besides treating patients. She probably went to the front line again.

At this time, Aragaki was already able to walk around, and the bandage on his eyes had been removed long ago, leaving no obvious scars on his face.

Time quickly came to a month later. During this month, Aragaki's injuries recovered very quickly. Ninjas are inherently tenacious creatures. The movement of their own refined chakra can promote cell growth and development. Not to mention that Aragaki had a special constitution and received special care from doctors.

So he was finally able to return to the team a month later.

Also on this day, the three members of Team [-], Touma Ikuta, Yasuhei Iwama, and Hina Mizuno, returned to the camp and officially "welcome" Tsugumi Aragaki back to the team.

Niiguanji did not "investigate" why they did not come to visit him once this month, and the three of them ignored this matter with a tacit understanding. What was even more tacit was that none of them mentioned the sand incident that day. Oshino explained the raid.

Iwama Kohei still looked carefree. He first gave Aragaki a big hug, and also took Aragaki's hand to show off to him the results he had achieved this month and what glory he had left behind. "scars".

Ikuta Shintoru was still the same, meticulous and cold-faced captain. He patted Aragaki on the shoulder and asked how he was doing.

As for Mizuno Haruna, she still calls him "Aragaki-kun".

The relationship between the four members of the team seemed to be back to what it was before, at least on the surface.

When Aragaki knew he was about to return to the team a week ago, he spent all day practicing how to "smile" alone.

Yes, smile, Aragaki didn't know when he started to realize that he couldn't smile. He was referring to the kind of smile that comes from the heart because of joy. So what kind of emotion is joy? He knew that this kind of smile was definitely not a smile. The joyful smile he wore as he drove the blade into his enemy's heart.

But he didn't want his teammates to feel embarrassed or embarrassed about his inability to smile, so he was practicing how to smile.

It just didn't work out.

Judging from the current situation, his smile is not successful enough, because Iwama Kohei expressed his opinion on this, that is, "Your smile is too scary, so don't force it."

Even Iwama Kohei can feel the changes in Aragaki, let alone the other two.

However, they also expressed their understanding. After all, they also knew what Aragaki had been through this month. He almost died at the hands of Suna Ninja Nohara, almost died in the Suna Ninja's raid on the camp, and was subjected to many ANBU attacks. After so many conversations, a normal person's temperament will undergo some changes.

With Aragaki's return, Team [-] also received the latest mission. This time they will move their positions, completely leave the current camp and head towards the northwest, officially entering the territory of Kawa no Kuni.
