Konoha: Starting with a sign-in for Hashirama cells

"What do you mean?" Naruto feigned ignorance.

"If you don't understand, then forget it." Ino pouted, showing no intention of continuing the conversation.

Just as you can never wake someone who is pretending to be asleep, when facing someone who is pretending to be stupid, no matter how clearly you explain things, the other person can still play games with you.

I'll give you a bunch of random punches to get by.

“Compared to the Otsutsuki, there is actually another person who makes me even more uneasy,” Naruto suddenly said.

Ino, who was about to leave, stopped in her tracks, turned to look at Naruto, and asked curiously, "Oh, who is it?"

“Uchiha Madara,” Naruto said.

"He is still alive. Assuming he doesn't have spacetime abilities and can't travel to other dimensions, then he is still in that other dimension."

"I sent many clones to look for him, but unfortunately, I haven't succeeded."

"If you're bored and looking for something to do, then help me find him."

"Who has nothing better to do? I like to travel, okay?" Ino reiterated irritably, then asked again.

"The alternate dimension you're talking about, is it the one we entered when we merged and chased Obito together?" Naruto nodded, and Ino understood.

"Alright, since you put it that way, I'll take the time to go check it out when I have some free time." Ino walked into Yomotsu Hirasaka.

The spatial black hole slowly closed: "Speaking of which, we're both eighteen now, huh? When are you and Hinata getting married? I'd love to join in the fun."

“I’m already married,” Naruto said.

"What? She's already married? When did that happen? Doesn't that mean I missed out? Ah, what a pity." Ino, with her back to Naruto, closed her eyes.

She felt terrible inside, but pretended to be nonchalant and asked, "Have you gone on your honeymoon yet?"

“It’s done,” Naruto said.

"Where are you? Where are you going?" Ino asked.

"The Southern Islands," Naruto replied.

"The archipelago? I've never been there. I'll go check it out sometime. What do you think? Is it fun?" Ino asked.

"It's fun." Naruto.

One question and one answer.

Ino kept her back to Naruto and didn't look at him.

Only when the Yomotsu Hirasaka completely closed did she stop squatting in this dark, boundless, endless realm, sighing and lamenting.

I remember at the beginning, Sakura used him as a shield, saying that she liked Naruto.

The next day, Naruto came to her and rejected her outright.

Earlier, also to help Sakura, she used her family's secret technique, Mind Transfer, to possess Naruto.

That time, I was scared half to death by Kurama inside Naruto's body.

Afterwards, she was startled when Naruto pinned her against the wall and pretended to confess his feelings.

Whether it's the suspension bridge effect or something else, I've been dreaming about Naruto frequently ever since, and my heart races whenever I see him.

His whole demeanor became strange.

By the time she realized she had truly fallen for Naruto, it was too late, or rather, she had already lost from the very beginning.

Liking something doesn't mean anything.

Who doesn't have someone they like during their growth?

One, two, or even more.

Knowing that the relationship would not work out, Ino decided to back down and not get too deeply involved.

When she grew up, when Naruto and Hinata got married, when a second boy appeared whom she liked and who also liked her.

At that time, Naruto will become a thing of the past, and she will have a new beginning.

The turning point came with the arrival of Urashiki, when her soul was devoured by him.

In order to save her, Naruto made a dangerous deal with Kaguya, the terrifying woman capable of destroying the world.

It's important to understand that Naruto back then wasn't nearly as powerful as he is now. He had no way to deal with Kaguya; he couldn't kill her, and there were problems with sealing her.

He would allow Kaguya to possess him in exchange for Kaguya's intervention, transforming Urashiki into a chakra fruit for her to consume, thus bringing her back from the brink of death and allowing her to live a second life.

After learning the whole story and the great risks Naruto had taken for her, Ino's mindset changed.

She thought, she probably couldn't like a second person anymore.

Besides her parents and Sakura, who else would be willing to give their life for her?

"Sigh." Ino sighed deeply, wiping her face as if to shake off her troubles.

"Even though I knew this would happen, it still hurts so much when it actually happened."

The reason he deliberately chose to go out during this time and didn't come back was not only to help Naruto find the Otsutsuki, but also to a large extent, it was related to Naruto's engagement to Hinata.

I don't know what Sakura is thinking, but Ino definitely doesn't want to attend their wedding.

Don't you feel frustrated enough? Do you want to make yourself miserable?

This is not the way to deliberately seek suffering.

"It's no use dwelling on it now. Let's turn the page and move on to a new chapter." Ino patted her face and left the dark, gloomy area.

I took a step and arrived home.

He raised his right hand, stared at the game bracelet on it, focused his mind, and silently said, "Enter."

hum!

The seemingly ordinary bracelet contained a program that, when triggered, automatically pulled Ino's subconscious into a modified version of Infinite Tsukuyomi.

Ino, who hadn't logged in for a long time, looked at her friends list and then opened the leaderboard, only to find that her level was far behind.

Not to mention the first tier, even the third and fourth tiers are miles ahead of her.

beep beep.

Sakura's avatar started flashing on the friends list. You don't need to click on it; you can control it simply with your mind.

"Ino! You're back!" Sakura exclaimed excitedly in the pop-up window, "How did it go? Did you find the Otsutsuki that Naruto wanted?"

"I found it, but I almost lost my life," Ino said with a wry smile.

"What!" Sakura exclaimed in surprise, "Are you alright? Where are you now? I'll come find you."

Upon learning Ino's locations in the game and in reality, Sakura didn't delay. She immediately stopped what she was doing and rushed there.

After Sakura, it's Hinata.

To be honest, Ino didn't really want to see Hinata, but putting Naruto aside, she and Hinata were good friends.

How could she ignore someone's concern? That would be incredibly rude.

Soon, in a real-life teahouse, the four girls, who graduated at the same time and had a good relationship, gathered together.

Here, you have to arrive one session earlier each day.

As Hinata's future sister-in-law, Tenten has been dedicated to repairing the relationship between Neji and Hinata, and over time, the two have gradually grown closer.

"He doesn't seem to have any problems. You're kidding me, right? You said he almost died." Sakura took Ino's pulse and found it to be normal and perfectly healthy. She asked in confusion.

Chapter 311 Artificial Humans

A week has passed since Ino found the two Otsutsuki and brought them back.

During this time, Ino moved around between home, the world of "Kizuna," the hospital, and the Hokage's office, quickly becoming familiar with her surroundings and able to immerse herself in them.

this day.

Ino is helping out at the hospital.

It was supposed to be helping, but it was actually teaching.

In the current ninja world, which is close to being unified, there is no war. There are only occasional minor frictions and conflicts due to missions, which are not fatal.

The number of wounded was pitifully small.

Furthermore, due to the "Bonds" system, players who log into the game and use points to redeem or level up will receive chakra transfers from Naruto.

It can restore flesh and bones, and bring the dead back to life. As long as you don't die on the spot and still have a breath left, you can recover to full health and status on the spot.

It's fair to say that Konoha Hospital is on the verge of closing down, and the future of medical ninjas is bleak, with fewer and fewer places needing them.

Even so, it must still be passed down, because it is ultimately a very important and powerful system.

Not every ninja enjoys fighting and killing; some are passionate about healing, logistics, and support roles. These types of people are well-suited to be medical ninjas.

As one of Tsunade's disciples, Ino was assigned the task of teaching beginners introductory courses on medical ninjutsu.

"Teacher, I've finished."

"Me too."

"Teacher, waaaaah, the little fish...it died, I'm so sorry."

Ino, who had been lost in thought, snapped out of it, looked at the results of several students, and nodded.

"Good, you all did a great job. As for you, it's up to you. Focus more on training your chakra control."

"You have a lot of theoretical knowledge; this is the main area you're lacking."

I personally cured the half-dead fish, then reassigned the homework and sent the students to do it.

Ino leaned back in her office chair, crossed her legs, rested her chin on one hand, twirled a pen in the other, and continued to daydream. Her body was there, but her mind had wandered off somewhere else.

"Ino, have you ever heard of artificial humans?"

"Artificial humans, what are those?"

"It is life that is not produced through normal means, life that is artificially created."

"You mean Yin-Yang Escape?"

"No, Yin-Yang Escape is creation from nothing. I mean manufacturing, using existing elements to produce something."
