In Konoha, Naruto lies down

Sakura nodded. She had no objection. Medical ninjas were supposed to follow orders. After glancing at the three men and confirming that they were all fine as Shikamaru had said, she slowly retreated.

A mission is a mission, not an outing, so no one had any objections. Shikamaru was thoughtful and was the team leader, so everyone followed his orders without objection and retreated to the Fire Country Forest with the unconscious Sand Village siblings.

......

In Konoha Hospital, footsteps were heard in the empty corridor.

Temari opened her eyes, and was startled by the smell of disinfectant lingering on her nose. She turned around and saw the clean white curtains and the small yellow flowers blooming on the windowsill.

The sunlight shines on the white wall, emitting a faint halo.

Before she could fully recall what had happened, the footsteps outside the door stopped, and then the door was pushed open. The person who came in seemed to have no idea what a safe distance between people was, and they only stopped when they reached the side of the bed.

"woke up?"

Naruto's voice was quiet and his tone was cold. He had blond hair and blue eyes, and wore a loose white short-sleeved shirt. His forehead was smooth, and his slightly curly blond hair almost covered his eyebrows.

Temari let out a soft cry and subconsciously turned her head, her eyes drawn to her hands again.

In his hand, he held a stack of agreements, and between his right fingers, a pen was pinched. His fingernails were slightly transparent, and his broad knuckles gripped the pen tightly.

After staring at him for a second, Temari felt something was wrong with her body. Her mouth began to produce more saliva due to nervousness. Her face flushed for a moment, and she hurriedly looked away.

Unable to look anywhere now, she lowered her head to stare at the white cup. Her pupils continued to dilate, her vision expanding to an infinite emptiness. She could hear his slightly impatient voice beside her.

"Sign this agreement when you wake up." Naruto frowned at Temari. He didn't want to have any contact with Temari, but Shizune insisted on dragging him over to do hard labor.

It would be more appropriate for him to go, after all, he is one of Temari's few acquaintances in Konoha.

Did they know each other well? Not really, just some close contact when they had to. Naruto looked at Temari, who was pretending to be dead with her head down, and felt an inexplicable urge to get angry.

I don't know why, but every time I see Temari, his tone becomes stiff unconsciously. It's not that he doesn't want to be nicer, but every time he sees her, he inexplicably...

This action and this look are too much, what the hell!

"Agreement?" Temari's voice was a little low, and her expression finally normalized. She looked up at him and said, "What kind of agreement?"

"How should I know? Take a look for yourself." Naruto threw the agreement on the hospital bed. With a muffled sound, the thick agreement fell on the white quilt, but the signing pen rolled to the inside of the curtain due to inertia.

"Oh... okay." Temari hesitated for a moment and looked at the pen again.

Naruto didn't care. He didn't see the need to pick up the pen. If Temari had any objections to the agreement, he could use that as an excuse to leave and find Shizune to explain.

He hadn't read the agreement from beginning to end, naturally because he didn't care at all, just like he didn't care at all about the pen that had rolled to the inside of the curtain.

But the scene Naruto expected did not happen. Temari did not agree or refuse, and did not even flip the agreement. She first looked up and glanced at him cautiously, then quickly turned her head to look in the direction where the pen fell.

"The pen fell." Temari said a little fearfully.

"If it fell, it fell. Don't worry about it." Naruto said as he stood beside the bed.

"Can I pick it up?" she inquired.

Naruto felt a little uncomfortable when asked. It was just a pen, she could pick it up if she wanted to. Why did she have to ask him? Would she not dare to pick it up if he didn't agree?

"Whatever." He said impatiently.

It's annoying. Why does this woman look like she's afraid I'll eat her?

"Okay." She nodded and hesitated for a moment.

Then, Temari rustled up from the bed, without lifting the quilt, but bent her knees and lay on the bed. Slowly crawling to the edge of the bed, one hand supporting the wall, the other slowly reaching behind the curtains.

The slender neck is white, and the loose blue and white striped hospital gown cannot hide the girl's curves. When the breeze blows, her white waist is exposed.

Naruto looked at the golden braids with a cold look, and a strange emotion surged in his heart. He felt a little itchy in his heart, and wanted to reach out and touch it.

Chapter 207 You don’t want this to happen, do you?

Temari was completely unaware that her waist was exposed. She was trying to reach the pen behind the curtain, her hand that was supporting the wall trembling slightly.

"Almost there." She gritted her teeth and extended her finger, trying to move the pen on the ground with her fingertips, but she just couldn't reach it, always just a little bit short.

If she moved her fingertips forward, it would push the pen further away. But at this moment, Temari couldn't back down, so she could only focus and continue to move forward.

My brain was congested, I felt a little short of oxygen, and my face was flushed, but I didn't feel uncomfortable.

She went to such great lengths to pick up a pen, and even she herself didn't understand why she did it. She just wanted to pick it up when she saw the pen he had carelessly thrown away.

It was as if the pen had a great magical power, completely occupying Temari's heart. If she ignored it completely and didn't pick it up, she would always feel a little itchy in her heart.

At first it was just an idea. Would I be praised if I picked it up?

The idea that suddenly came to my mind was like gasoline ignited by a cigarette butt that could not be extinguished. After a long pause, I put it into action. When my brain reacted, I was already leaning over to pick it up.

After a while, Temari finally grabbed the pen, held it in her hand, then slowly stood up and retracted into the thin white quilt.

Naruto watched the whole thing, and withdrew his hand early, not taking his momentary impulse to heart. He looked at Temari again, wondering what was wrong with this woman, why she had to pick a fight with a pen.

Temari's ward was a single room, not very big, the kind that you could see everything at a glance. The corridor at the end of the bed could only accommodate one person at a time.

There is a shortage of beds in Konoha Hospital at the moment, and it is not easy to temporarily coordinate a small ward for Temari. Kankuro and Gaara are still squeezed in another ward.

"Look at the agreement. If you have any questions, please raise them and I'll find someone to answer them for you." Naruto reiterated, hoping that she would raise a doubt as soon as possible so that he could get rid of this woman.

"I picked up the pen." Temari said softly.

"Hmm?" Naruto was stunned and looked at her in confusion.

"I picked it up." She held the pen tightly, so tightly that her hand trembled slightly.

"And then?" Naruto lowered his gaze, stared at the pen for a while, then glanced at Temari, thinking to himself, is this woman crazy?

Could it be that the lack of oxygen has made him stupid? It seems that the IQ of the person who just said this is no more than that of a three-year-old. He was a little confused, and finally his eyes fixed on Temari's face.

"I picked it up," she said.

"You picked it up, okay?" Naruto said with a headache, "Read the agreement first. If you don't understand anything, tell me and I'll find someone."

Temari looked at him with a bit of grievance, and Naruto thought to himself, "Damn it. What the hell is wrong with this guy? Is this expression trying to make him praise her?"

He let out a light breath and said while suppressing his impatience.

"You picked it up, that's awesome."

"Okay." Temari nodded, then put down the pen, took the agreement on the quilt and began to read it carefully. She looked at it carefully and didn't look like a three-year-old child at all.

Naruto looked at her nervously, afraid that the woman would suddenly ask, "Is this a painting?"

Fortunately, Temari quietly read it from beginning to end, but unfortunately, she didn't raise any objections. She only looked up after reading the last word. Naruto was sitting on the side, leaning back in a daze, and only stood up when he noticed her gaze.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem? I'll go find it for you..."

"No problem, I can sign this agreement." Temari nodded, then signed and pressed her fingerprint smoothly.

Seeing that the mission had been completed, Naruto didn't care too much. Anyway, as long as he knew he could leave now, it was fine. He didn't want to waste time on Temari because... it was troublesome.

"That's good." Naruto took the agreement and turned to leave.

There was a snap, and the moment he turned around, he felt his wrist being grabbed. Naruto turned around and looked back, just in time to meet Temari's eyes, who had a look of fear on her face.

Naruto narrowed his eyes slightly, he didn't like that expression, nor did he like Temari's personality, just looking at it was troublesome.

"what are you doing?"

The mission had been completed, so there was no need for him to be on good terms with Temari. Even if Konoha and the Sand Village siblings came into contact again, it would have nothing to do with him.

He is just a Genin and can't take care of so many things.

"I..." Temari couldn't say anything.

Naruto looked at the pen on the quilt, and suddenly a guess came to his mind. He stared at Temari for a few seconds, then spoke.

"Hand me the pen."

He was asking Temari to do a small thing in a completely imperative tone. Most people would hand over the pen without any surprise after hearing such words.

But after Naruto took the pen, he threw it on the ground and spoke again.

"Give me."

Temari was stunned for a moment, but she did as she was told. She bent down, picked up the pen, and handed it back to Naruto. But after Naruto took the pen, he threw it even further away.

This time he didn't say anything and just stretched out his hand.

When Temari got out of bed and silently picked up the pen and handed it to him, Naruto closed his eyes and sighed. It was troublesome. It was still the same as before. Nothing had changed.

A year ago, after the Chunin Exam, facing Temari's abnormality, Naruto thought it was only temporary and that Temari would return to normal after a while.

Before leaving, Naruto even tested Temari. He caught up with Temari in the empty corridor of the Hokage Building and told her to stop and touch him in a commanding tone.

But Temari didn't obey, instead she scolded him. He originally thought that this was normal, but who could have thought that a year later, it would become like this again.

He looked at Temari, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at him, her bare feet swaying.

"You..." Naruto looked at Temari with complicated eyes.

"Take off your clothes."

Temari blinked and raised her hand.

"Ahem! Stop." Naruto sighed again, looking helpless. Things were getting more and more outrageous.

Temari paused and looked at him in amusement.

"You better be normal. I don't know what's wrong with you, but..." Naruto gasped, "Are you kidding me?"

"I didn't." Temari lowered her head, "Don't be mean to me."

She looked away, "I don't mean to be like this, it's just that sometimes... the rest of the time it's fine, but when I see you..."

Naruto looked Temari up and down, hesitated for a moment, and then asked.

"Do you remember what happened before?"

Temari blushed and said nothing.

Seeing this, Naruto couldn't help but twitch his lips, thinking to himself, "So he still remembers it, then there's no need to beat around the bush."

"You don't want to be like this, do you? Completely obeying a stranger's orders."

Damn it! Naruto actually saw hesitation on Temari's face. There was no need to hesitate about this sort of thing! Damn it! Would a normal person hesitate?

".......Well, I don't want to." Temari shook her head.

"You'd better wake up." Naruto felt that he had thrown away all his patience for two lifetimes. "So we should just avoid meeting each other in the future. As long as we don't have any contact with each other until we die, everything will be fine."

"No." Temari shook her head and refused.

Naruto: ".........It's not up to you to decide whether to do it or not."

Temari stared at him and said, "I have a way of haunting you."

Naruto was convinced.

The Konoha high-level people will really side with Temari, unless he completely hides himself and ignores those stupid high-level people. As for Temari, he admits that Temari is very beautiful.

In the purest sense of beauty, the Land of Wind is known for its abundance of beautiful women, as it receives ample sunshine. Everyone in the ninja world knows that the female ninjas of the Sand Village have skin so white that it's so tender you can squeeze it.

But it wasn't like Naruto had never seen a woman before, so he wouldn't be so upset by the eldest princess of the Sand Village. As far as the current situation was concerned, getting involved with Temari would do him no good.

Temari frowned stubbornly and started arguing with Naruto.

"Goodbye."

"No."

"You can't find me either. I don't bother with you." Naruto was speechless. "There are many ways for me to hide. Don't force me to hate you. I can't guarantee what I will do then."

Temari was silent, staring at the ground for a long time without saying anything, and after a long time she stammered and spoke.

"That was not what I meant."

Naruto didn't want to listen anymore. Things had already come to this point, and there was no point in continuing. His relationship with Temari didn't affect the overall situation, and it was even irrelevant.

Given Gaara's current situation, he still needs to rely on Konoha's power to re-plan a counterattack. The three siblings will eventually have to return to the Sand Village and face the top leaders of the Sand Village.

As with all power struggles, in the end, there will be victors and losers.

"I'm leaving now," Naruto said, "We'll talk about this later. You and I should both calm down for a while and see what happens."

"do not want!"

Naruto frowned, and Temari stared at him for a moment before finally giving in. She lowered her head and uttered an "oh" in a resentful tone.

He didn't care about that and turned around and left the ward with the documents.
