After the two walked out of the orphanage, Nagase initially thought that Nono would deliberately avoid crowded places and would be shy.
Unexpectedly, Nono walked so gracefully, with a very calm and natural expression on his face.
Nagase then remembered that Nono was not a little girl. She was once an elite of the Root. If she was really shy at every turn, how could she be an undercover agent
The reason why Nono was shy was simply because the person in front of him was him.
Only he can enjoy it.
The two of them walked hand in hand onto the main street of Konoha. They didn't go to any commercial street or teahouse or flower shop specifically, but just strolled along the street as they pleased.
The two's outstanding looks, coupled with Nono's rare shrine maiden costume, attracted the attention of a large number of passers-by on the street.
It was January at that time. Although it was afternoon and the sun was shining brightly, the occasional cold wind in the air still made people shiver.
Nagase and Nono are both ninjas, so this little bit of cold is nothing to them. Nagase is even wearing a short-sleeved shirt without even a coat, showing no respect for the winter at all.
When the men on the street saw Nono's clothes, their eyes lit up, as if they had discovered a new world. Then they remembered something and sighed.
The girl passing by looked at Nono with some envy for having such a handsome partner.
"See, I told you that you are shining today. They are all praising you for being beautiful."
The discussions of the pedestrians on the street naturally could not be hidden from the sharp-eyed and sharp-eared Nagase, who smiled at Nono.
Nono lowered her head shyly, brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, and said softly, "Some people think that this is not good for me."
Yongze shook his head. "They are just jealous of you. They are jealous of your beauty and your cuteness."
"Do you really think I'm good-looking?" Nono asked a little unconfidently.
To be honest, Nono didn't know if she could be considered beautiful or cute. Before she left the Root, her life was filled with various undercover skills and training in medical ninjutsu.
That kind of youthful topic has nothing to do with her.
Even after she withdrew from the Root, it didn't matter because she became the director of an orphanage and had been rescuing war orphans.
"Really." Nagase answered without hesitation.
"How true?"
"It's just like a bear that has been hungry for days will definitely pounce on its prey when it sees it."
Nono laughed out loud at Nagase's strange metaphor, but his heart calmed down.
No matter how she looks in the eyes of others, in Nagaze's eyes, she is very beautiful and lovely.
That's enough, Nono doesn't care what others think of her.
"Nagaze, Nono?"
At this moment, a familiar voice came into Yongze's ears.
Nagase looked over and saw a head of eye-catching red hair. It was Kushina.
Next to Kushina was a young woman wearing a purple long-sleeved top and a yellow suspender skirt.
Although Nagase had never seen him before, he could guess who it was, after all, Kushina's circle of friends was not large.
It should be Uchiha Mikoto, the wife of Uchiha Fugaku, the current head of the Uchiha clan, and also the mother of Itachi and Sasuke.
Both of them were holding a bag in their hands, looking like best friends shopping together.
Nagase sensed it and, as expected, sensed Kakashi's presence on the roof of a nearby building.
This week it was Kakashi's turn to perform escort duty.
Nagase took Nono's hand and walked in front of Kushina, smiling, "What a coincidence."
Kushina didn't notice it at first, but she was shocked when she saw Nagase and Nono standing so close to each other, shaking hands with their fingers interlocked.
Yongze was speechless and complained: "What's wrong with me? Why do you look like you've seen something incredible?"
"Nagazawa, you actually found a partner. Isn't this shocking enough? No, I have to tell Minato right away." Kushina still looked shocked.
After saying that, he looked like he was ready to burst out with chakra and ran towards the Hokage Building.
Nagase quickly pulled him back, then pointed at Uchiha Mikoto who was standing there in confusion and said:
"I don't care. Are you going to leave her here alone?"
Kushina reacted and said to Uchiha Mikoto with an apologetic look: "I'm sorry, Mikoto, this news is so shocking that I almost forgot about you."
Uchiha Mikoto: "..."
Although she was speechless inside, Uchiha Mikoto also knew that Kushina had a carefree personality, so she didn't say anything and just nodded.
"I say, is it necessary for you to do this?" Yongze was speechless. Why did it make it seem like his dating was some shocking news
"When you were in ninja school, so many girls chased after you, but you ignored them all. After graduation, I haven't seen you walking with a girl. I almost suspected that you wanted to steal Minato from me."
Kushina said with a lingering fear.
You know, she is a latecomer, while Minato and Nagasawa have been friends since the first year of the Ninja Academy.
If Nagase really had some ideas, it would be a huge threat, Kushina thought.
When Nagase heard what Kushina said, a row of neat black lines appeared on his forehead. This is really a very imaginative thing.
When he was in ninja school, he didn't care about those little brats. They only delayed him from refining chakra and increasing his hand seal speed.
Later on, he was busy improving his abilities and had no time to date.
He treated Kushina as a friend, but Kushina treated him as a love rival
"Yakushi, you look so beautiful in this dress. I almost didn't recognize you." Kushina turned to Nono and praised.
On Nagase’s birthday before, the two of them got to know each other briefly and knew each other’s names.
"No way, Lady Kushina, you look better with your beautiful red hair." Nono replied with a smile, and they engaged in a wave of commercial flattery.
"What Lady Kushina? That sounds so awkward. I don't have any position. Just call me Kushina." Kushina said carelessly.
Nono thought about it and nodded, "Then you can just call me Nono."
"Yeah, Nono, tell me how you dealt with Nagase." Kushina didn't take Nagase seriously at all and gossiped to his face.
"Cough cough!" Nagaze coughed softly to make his presence felt.
You can at least do gossip in private, what's the point of doing it in front of others.
"Tell me about it, I'm really curious. How about I share with you the story of Minato and I later?" Kushina was selectively deaf and ignored Nagase's low cough.
Uchiha Mikoto couldn't stand it anymore, so she pulled Kushina and said:
"Kushina, why don't we just forget it."
Kushina gave up at this point, but soon she asked Nagasawa and the others if they wanted to go shopping with them.
Nagasawa declined politely.
Are you kidding? If I continue to stay with Kushina, who knows what vicious words she will say next.
