In Konoha, Naruto lies down

After leaving Konoha Hospital, Naruto still had a face full of displeasure. Temari's matter was not easy to deal with. Konoha and Sunagakure were allies, but Sunagakure was in chaos.

I don’t know what kind of messed up agreement they signed before, but in any case, the three Temari siblings seemed to come to Konoha for temporary refuge, and they will fight back after regrouping.

Naruto only felt that these things were troublesome, and he didn't think someone like Temari would like him. It was just a way to vent, or a unique need that happened to choose him.

To be honest, he didn't like this feeling. This feeling of being treated as a tool would still make him feel uncomfortable even if he was on the stronger side.

Back at the Hokage Building, Naruto put the documents in the Hokage's office. There was no one inside. He put them down and was about to go back when suddenly a figure appeared at the door and blocked his way.

"Have the documents been signed?" Sakura asked with a smile.

Chapter 208 So, the beginnings of tragedies are all similar

"It's signed." Naruto was stunned for a moment, then reacted, "Is it Lady Tsunade who wants to see those documents?"

"No, Lady Shizune wanted it. She asked me to sign it and send it over right away." Sakura said this, but there was no trace of anxiety on her face.

"Documents..." Naruto glanced back at the documents on the table, "They're right there. Do you want me to get them for you?"

"Okay." Sakura agreed, a hint of doting in her eyes.

Naruto turned around and took the document. Every time Sakura said something good, it made him feel... uneasy. Even so, he calmly handed the document to her.

"Do you remember what you promised me?" he asked.

"Forehead?"

"I can probably leave the Hokage Building around four in the afternoon. Are you free?" Sakura waved the information in her hand, "Come to the Hokage Building and wait for me."

Naruto didn't have any missions for the time being. Shizune had mentioned this to him. He wouldn't have any missions for a long time until the Sand Village incident was resolved.

The resumption of the Snow Country mission was also far away, and Fenghua Xiaoxue left Konoha and her whereabouts were unknown. Naruto could not easily leave the village to find a princess who kept escaping reality, so this matter was temporarily put on hold.

"Okay." He said.

.......

After returning home, Naruto lay on the sofa for a long time. Kyuubi was unexpectedly not at home. The balcony window was wide open, the curtains swayed, and a beam of light hit the first meter of the French window.

With a loud bang, the French window opened from the balcony, and Jiuwei came back like a tom cat. The summer breeze, carrying hot air, poured into the living room.

"Little boy, you're back so soon?" Jiuwei jumped onto the sofa, twisted his body, found the most comfortable position, and showed an expression of enjoyment on his face.

"Where have you been?" Naruto opened his eyes a little and glanced at the Nine-Tails.

"It has nothing to do with you." Kyuubi muttered as he took out a bottle of wine from under the sofa and opened it skillfully. "I went out for a walk. Ha, humans are so easy to fool."

"I just stood there and they bought food for me. They really are slaves."

"Beg?" Naruto asked with a hint of disdain.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Begging!" Kyuubi stood up from the sofa. "How can you call it begging when it comes to the Tailed Beasts? It's not what I wanted, they gave it to me!"

"I just said it casually, why are you so excited?" Naruto said in a mean tone.

The Nine-Tailed Fox really wanted to throw a Tailed Beast Ball at him, but he held back for the sake of the wine. The fox had no choice but to bow its head under the eaves. It simply turned over and lay on the sofa.

The man and the fox lay there, and the living room was quiet for a while. The summer breeze blew, and the wind chimes tinkled.

"What are we having for lunch?" Kyuubi suddenly asked.

"You are such a coward when you talk like that. After all, you are a tailed beast, right?" Naruto complained. "Even if you don't eat anything, you won't starve to death."

Hearing this, Kyuubi's face darkened.

"That being said, I'm finally free, so I have to enjoy myself with something good. You're not really planning on not preparing anything, are you? I want to have barbecue."

"I'm too lazy to go."

"No! You must go." Nine-Tails jumped off the sofa, pulled out one of Naruto's hands, and dragged him out of the sofa.

With a thud, Naruto fell heavily to the ground on his back and opened his eyes. His face twitched slightly, and he really wanted to lock this fox up with the Diamond Seal.

With a bang, the door closed.

Naruto walked slowly in the corridor, the warm sunlight shining on him, the Nine-Tails lying on his shoulder, huddled behind the fluffy golden hair.

Snap! Snap! Snap!

The footsteps gradually faded away, and the shadows of the man and the fox became short, like two Q-version monsters.

The sun was shining brightly, illuminating every corner of Konoha.

"Regarding the issue of developing the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki," Danzo's bandaged eye glanced at the senior executives, "I personally think it's time to put it on the agenda."

"The Jinchūriki of the Sand Village is also in Konoha now. Even though we have signed an agreement to temporarily house them, we have more opportunities to facilitate cooperation in the development of the Jinchūriki of the two villages."

"After all... Konoha and Sunagakure are allies."

Sitting in the backlit seats, each clan leader remained silent. The Fifth Hokage had been gone for quite some time, seemingly to fetch something personally, while Danzo expounded on his theories on developing the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki.

Danzo is an excellent high-ranking official, insidious and tolerant, and will do anything for the benefit of Konoha. But at the same time, he is not brave enough and deceives himself.

He tried to use the collective interests to accommodate his selfishness. He had no second thoughts about Konoha, so he felt that Konoha could not do without him. This is what Danzo cares about most, dedication!

He had shed blood for Konoha, sacrificing everything except his life. His greatest dream was to be recognized, recognized by everyone. And this recognition was transformed into a concrete and achievable goal: to become Hokage.

Giving and taking, this is the portrayal of Danzo Shimura's life in Konoha.

"It's understandable that the Fifth Hokage is motivated by selfish motives, but the Jinchūriki are important strategic weapons for the village and cannot be viewed with common sense." Danzo paused and continued.

Nara Shikaku coughed. As the veteran military strategist and Konoha's voice, he had the privilege to interrupt Danzo's speech.

"The issue of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki has been discussed before, and the Sandaime's opinion is..."

"The Sandaime is gone, what's the point of saying this now?" Danzo said unhappily.

The younger generation is growing up, Tsunade will succeed the fifth generation, and then Kakashi may become the sixth generation. This trend deeply stimulates Danzo, but he also knows what Tsunade and Kakashi mean to Konoha.

Konoha needs a backbone and also needs the strength of the younger generation.

Danzo took Konoha too seriously, and he took himself too seriously. Even though the Third Generation had already left the stage of history, he was still unwilling to leave. He firmly believed that his position was irreplaceable, and Konoha needed roots, and it also needed him.

You could hear a pin drop in the conference room. Danzo's voice was low but carried the unyielding strength of a veteran executive.

With a loud bang, the heavy wooden door of the conference room was pushed open. The blazing sunlight illuminated the entire meeting room, and Danzo subconsciously squinted his eyes.

The sunlight surrounded Tsunade like a cluster of flowers. She was wearing a green robe and had golden hair and huge breasts, looking heroic.

"Stop wasting time!"

The crisp sound of high heels hitting the ground echoed throughout the conference room. Tsunade, the fifth Hokage and a descendant of Konoha's Hokage with an absolutely pure bloodline, walked to the long table that occupied two-thirds of the conference room.

The moment he stopped, he glanced around, sweeping over the senior executives fearlessly, his gaze as sharp as a knife.

With a snap, he threw a bound document in his hand onto the center of the table.

"The Sunagakure has signed a bet agreement with Konoha. After Gaara becomes the Kazekage, the Sunagakure and Konoha's Jinchuriki will form an alliance. The two countries pledged to never go to war."

"The premise is to refuse to develop Jinchūriki and reject any treaties and plans that sacrifice the interests of Jinchūriki."

As soon as the words fell, a loud bang exploded in the minds of the senior executives.

This agreement isn't just a piece of paper; it represents the first treaty protecting the rights of the Tailed Beast Jinchūriki. With this written down, the Jinchūriki Protection Plan could become a legally binding law.

Furthermore, this agreement wasn't drafted solely by Tsunade, but rather by two of the five great nations, along with the Wind Country and Sand Village. The weight of this agreement shouldn't be underestimated. Besides the Wind Country, the Earth Country also possessed a Tailed Beast Jinchūriki, and the Tsuchikage faced a difficult transition period, a fact everyone knew.

What will happen in the future... All the Konoha leaders focused their attention on the agreement.

Danzo's face turned pale as he held out his hand. A high-ranking official nearby grabbed the agreement and handed it to him. Without a word, Danzo flipped through the agreement and began reading page by page.

"What's written on this?" Kyuubi threw the menu onto the table with his claws at the barbecue restaurant and said in a low voice, "Why is it all juice? Bring me some wine."

"Haha, do you think that's possible?" Naruto said impatiently, "At this age, people won't be on the drink menu. Forget it."

"Kid, why don't you grow up!" Kyuubi complained softly, "How can we eat barbecue without wine?"

"Stop talking nonsense and pick quickly."

"Ah!!" A scream from the street attracted Naruto's attention. A white bird flew through the crowd, brushed off a woman's wide hat, and flapped its wings to fly around the streets of Konoha.

At the flower shop in the mountains, Ino carefully checked her ninja tool bag and pushed open the door. Her blond hair was ruffled by a bird flying by at high speed. She turned her head, her dark blue Tatar eyes fixed on the bird as it flew high into the sky.

Shikamaru and Chouji walked out of the alley together, bathed in the sun, their brows slightly furrowed as they chatted about something. They stopped for a moment at a stall, looked at Ino and waved.

Aburame Shino and Inuzuka Kiba were leaning against the gate of the Hyuga clan waiting. Akamaru looked a little listless. He looked at the crowd filled with hot steam and stuck out his bright red tongue.

Under clear skies during the day, the people in the entire village are like living water, flowing slowly and vividly.

On June 6rd, the summer in Konoha was unusually hot.

Naruto walked slowly down the street with Kyuubi after coming out of the barbecue restaurant. He looked at the busy streets, the air slightly distorted by the heat. He glanced at the canteen and stopped in his tracks.

........

Hokage Building, sunset.

Sakura sat on the railing of the rooftop, her legs dangling slightly in the air. She looked at the green trees whose leaves had turned golden, her expression extremely peaceful.

Hearing the footsteps behind her, she turned her head and looked back.

Naruto stopped at the doorway, his eyelids twitching slightly as he looked at the pink-haired girl who was completely enveloped by the sunset.

He had seen that kind of scene before, usually in tragedy movies. The clichéd plots didn't move him at all, and he had already anticipated the ending before the tragedy even began.

Chapter 209 This is a pervert who deceives ignorant girls!

"What are you doing?" Naruto looked at her.

"What?" Sakura jumped down from the railing and looked at him curiously, "Didn't we make an appointment? In the afternoon..."

"Oh oh." The premonition in his mind disappeared, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. "You asked me to do you a small favor before. Can you tell me now?"

"Ah, just strolling around." Sakura pointed to the Konoha Street in the distance where the lights had not yet been turned on.

"That kind of thing...there's no need for such a formal request." Naruto turned around and went downstairs first, and Sakura followed behind with her hands behind her back. There were about eight steps between them.

"Then you probably won't agree to it, so you just make up excuses to put me off." Sakura said in a tone that said, "You are just that kind of person."

"Um..." Naruto was a little speechless, as she guessed it right.

Given Sakura's previous dangerous remarks, out of fear of her unhealthy ethical values, it is possible that he would reject all of Sakura's private invitations.

It's not that he's being pretentious, he just simply doesn't want to get involved in trouble.

He knew very well that both Temari, that crazy woman, and Sakura were uncertain sources of explosion. If he was simply tempted by their beauty, one of them might explode one day.

Are Ino and Hinata not good? They are both gentle and greedy, but not mindless and reckless. He knows that he is a scumbag, but he is clearly a scumbag.

He is still young and not in a relationship. He is just close to Ino and Hinata. He is not in a confirmed relationship with anyone, so there is no double-crossing. There is no divine beast that does not allow minors to fall in love.

Although to be honest, this is not the real world, he can be a little greedy and want both when he grows up.

Even if he was a bit of a scumbag, if he had a normal mind, he would not touch his teammates, let alone the princess of Sand Village.

There is a limit to courting death. At the very least, you can gain the friendship of both Ino and Hinata. Why would you risk losing everything by provoking a yandere and a masochist?

Pure friendship is hard to come by. He has few friends to begin with. He must be crazy to play with fire.

"Why aren't you talking?" Sakura asked.

The two had already walked out of the Hokage Building, and Dusk stopped at his feet. Naruto looked back, and Sakura was still standing two steps behind him, looking at him in confusion.

"No, I was distracted." He said casually, "I wouldn't refuse, after all, it's just shopping. I usually have plenty of time and I'm not busy."

"That's good." She said with a smile, and deliberately took two steps forward, walked in front of Naruto and turned back to look at him.

She turned sideways at a 45-degree angle, just enough to reveal the curve of her neck and jawline, revealing the girl's profile before him. She didn't hide her feelings, revealing a sweet smile she had never seen before.

"Let's go then!"

"Oh." Naruto shrugged and followed with a nonchalant look on his face.

"Naruto-kun is not a good person." Sakura suddenly said this as the two walked side by side.

Naruto didn't react much. He glanced at her first, then turned his head and asked slowly.

"why would you say so?"

"...You didn't even bother to refute it first." Sakura complained.

"I'm not a good person, but that depends on the perspective. In some aspects, my moral bottom line is still relatively high." Naruto said.

"Hmm... Now that you put it that way, I'm a little curious." Sakura's eyes swept over the shops on the street.
