Chapter 800: NASM - 800

"It’s alright. It’s still quite early — even though it’s dark now, I’m sure it’s not too late yet. Let’s just sit here and rest properly before climbing up to sleep. I really don’t feel like moving anyway. Let’s just stay here and chat for a while longer," Harumiko said to Hiroshi with a smile.

Hiroshi nodded happily. He felt incredibly content — to be able to eat his fill and rest peacefully like this, even out here in the wild, was such a wonderful feeling.

"You know, our journey has actually been really pleasant lately. Being able to eat so well and rest without a care in the world... it’s really quite amazing for us," he said softly, smiling at her.

Harumiko agreed completely. For shinobi travelling on missions, life was usually full of battles and danger — enemies could appear at any moment.

But for some reason, over the past year or so, they had barely encountered any trouble at all. Most of their time had been spent simply enjoying themselves or learning new things.

"I feel exactly the same. But honestly, it feels a bit strange. We’ve run into enemies so rarely, and we’ve had so much free time — just wandering around, having fun, or practising new skills," she replied softly with a grin.

Hiroshi nodded and looked up at the sky. It was filled with countless stars, and the moon was perfectly round and shining so brightly — just like the full moon during the Mid?Autumn Festival.

"I didn’t expect the moon to be this bright. It’s lighting up the whole forest — almost like daylight, though there’s still a difference. Still, I prefer the day. You can see much further then. If enemies were to attack suddenly now, it would be really tricky," he murmured, gazing up at the glowing moon.

Harumiko nodded; she had noticed too — the moon was exceptionally round and clear tonight, nothing like the past few nights.

"Now that you mention it, you’re right. It’s really bright tonight, and the moon is perfectly full. Nothing like a few days ago. But even if someone did attack us now, there’s not much we could do — visibility is still too poor to see exactly where they are," she said.

Hiroshi nodded. They were both feeling much better now; the uncomfortable fullness in their stomachs had faded a little, though getting up and moving around still felt like too much effort.

"I’ve digested it a bit now, but I still don’t want to move an inch. Let’s stay here a bit longer. Once we’re rested enough, we’ll climb up to sleep. I have a feeling I’ll sleep really well tonight — nothing beats sleeping with a full stomach like this," he said, stretching out on the ground and smiling.

Harumiko nodded in agreement. Her stomach felt much more comfortable too, but she still had no desire to move. It seemed they were both feeling exactly the same way.
