In Konoha, Naruto lies down

Naruto was silent, damn, it seemed like there wasn't one.

"However, Naruto-kun must have other charms, otherwise Ino and Hinata wouldn't care about Naruto-kun, right?" Sakura said directly.

"That's true." Naruto admitted shamelessly.

"You admitted it so readily that it actually hurt me a little." Sakura sighed and said, "I heard that boys will only admit their relationships with other girls in front of girls who don't care."

"Pure friendship," Naruto corrected.

"I'm even more hurt, the kind that I can cry soon." Sakura stopped and turned to look at Naruto with a smile on her face.

"Obviously I came first."

"Don't say such nonsense. You clearly only took control of your body at that time, didn't you? Don't lie like me!"

Naruto couldn't remember the exact time, but the awakening of Black Sakura's personality was probably about ten days after Sasuke's defection. In the small duty room of Konoha Hospital, Sakura smiled and asked him who Sasuke was.

"Time flies so fast. It's already been a year." Sakura continued walking forward with her hands behind her back without responding directly to the conversation.

"Yeah, more than a year has passed." Naruto also sighed. It would be a lie to say that he didn't feel anything.

If a normal person suddenly enters the world of Naruto, he will constantly face unreasonable malice, suspicion, and cold eyes. He will watch rows of ninjas flying over rooftops, breathing fire and water, thundering and raining down rain, and performing various magical powers.

Normal people would be shocked to the point of questioning their lives if they saw this. Fortunately, he had watched Naruto and was somewhat calmer.

The one that impressed him most was Naruto Shippuden, where Moonlight Gale died at the beginning. The fighting scenes were so captivating that he didn't really pay much attention to Naruto's youth. After all, it was just a hot-blooded anime. Just fight and fight, who cares about the romance?

But he was Uzumaki Naruto now, a living person, and when it came to his turn, he didn't want to fight or kill. It didn't matter what kind of hot-blooded anime it was, whoever wanted to be the savior would be the savior, anyway, he was going to lie down.

There is a reopening day, and no one is young.

He is still young now, so he will blossom in Konoha!

"I want to eat that!" Sakura suddenly turned around and said to him. Naruto was distracted and was suddenly startled by Sakura's blushing face.

Oh my god, what vicious words did you say again?

It wasn't until he followed Sakura's finger and saw the takoyaki stall that Naruto breathed a sigh of relief. He was almost scared to death just now. He just hoped that he didn't have to eat anything weird.

The two of them approached, and Naruto recognized it as the same stall from before. He was buying food there when Sakura's voice suddenly came from behind him. That time it was quite scary.

"If you want to eat, just buy it." He subconsciously took out the money, but suddenly remembered that the other person was Sakura, so he took his hand out of his pocket.

Last time she said she wanted to spend Sakura's savings.

I wonder if her small expenses can keep up with the speed at which she earns a lot of money. Sakura seems to come from a well-off family. If she relies on food, she would have to eat top-notch barbecue every day, and she would have to have an appetite like Hinata to go broke.

Naruto thought heartlessly, and suddenly a smile appeared on his face.

"Boss, I want that, and that." After Sakura said that, she suddenly turned her head without warning and happened to see Naruto's smile. She immediately said with dissatisfaction.

"You're not still thinking about other girls at this time, are you?"

"Yes." Naruto was fearless, "What's wrong?"

"It doesn't matter. Even if it's like this, Naruto-kun, I still like him." Kurozakura smiled and said gently, "I'll just be your backup girlfriend."

"Damn it, don't say that in this kind of situation!" Naruto covered Sakura's mouth with his hand and looked around in panic, but it was too late.

Although the guests around didn't say anything, they moved away quietly. When they glanced at me as if nothing had happened, there was a hint of contempt at the end, as if to say.

This is a pervert who deceives ignorant girls!

"Ahem, first of all, I'm definitely not a pervert." Naruto complained softly, lowering his voice, "She's not some ignorant girl either, damn it!"

Ding-ling, the old man with poor hearing at the stall rang the bell and looked up and said.

"Guest, your takoyaki."

"Mmm!" Sakura struggled to take the takoyaki wrapped in the paper bag, and regardless of Naruto covering her mouth, she reached out to grab it. The scene was a bit indecent for a while.

Naruto couldn't stand it any longer, so he grabbed the bag of food and dragged Sakura away. After walking for a while and getting away from the crowd, he handed the food to Sakura in a bad mood.

"Here, is this thing so delicious?"

"It's delicious." Sakura carefully took the paper bag, tossed it from her scalded left hand to her right hand, blew air from her mouth, and her cheeks flushed red.

After she finished speaking, she suddenly seemed to think of something and asked.

"do you want to eat?"

Naruto looked at her hesitantly and opened his mouth, but still no sound came out.

"No poison." Sakura blinked. "Tsunade-sama didn't teach me much about poison techniques. I can't possibly learn it by reading books bit by bit on my own, right?"

Hearing this, Naruto completely gave up the idea of ​​trying it. Perhaps in martial arts movies, there wouldn't be a scene where Qiao Feng gets paralyzed while wandering the martial arts world.

"I'm not hungry," he said with a cough.

"Oh." Sakura turned her head and started eating takoyaki alone, slowly walking towards the light.

Naruto followed behind her, always keeping a distance between them. There was a sense of restraint in Kuro Sakura's desires, a sense of pure girl wearing old-fashioned black-framed glasses, but in fact...

In short, she had the same facial features as Sakura, sharing the same body, yet in front of Naruto, she gave him the illusion of being a different person. Perhaps it was her eating habits, or the changes in her eyes when she spoke.

He had seen Sakura speak in front of other people. She spoke at a normal pace, with a frank and natural expression. Most of the time, she had a peaceful smile on her face, giving people the impression that she was a girl with a good personality.

I heard she was very popular at Konoha Hospital, given that the medical department was all men. Even the most attentive and gentle dressing change couldn't compare to a woman telling you to bear with it, saying it might hurt. Plus, Sakura's dedication and meticulousness quickly earned her the nickname "angel."

Sakura paused, as if she wanted to say something, and only spoke when Naruto caught up with her and stood shoulder to shoulder with her.

"Actually, I want to give it a try. I'm treating today as a date."

Hearing this, Naruto glanced at her.

"Forget it, it's too troublesome."

The night was dark, and the streets of Konoha were sparsely lit. The summer breeze couldn't dissipate the heat. Sakura, wearing a sleeveless top, turned to look at him.

"Well, whether you're pretending to be stupid, lying, or telling the truth, I don't mind your perfunctory behavior."

........

The next day, Naruto woke up.

Looking at the empty room, I sighed. I stayed out a bit late last night. Actually, there wasn't anything special going on, I was just wandering around.

Sakura seemed very happy, and he didn't dislike this feeling. Most importantly, he didn't feel uncomfortable either. The two of them kept their distance on the date, which made them feel very safe.

But he could vaguely sense that something had changed. It wasn't him, it was Sakura. She felt like she was having a lot of fun that night, too much fun.

Naruto even felt like he was just a pendant, just standing there.

Forget it, I'll ask when I have time today.

He got out of bed and went to the Hokage Building as summoned. Tsunade was still not there, and Naruto had no idea what she was busy with. He searched around and found Shizune.

"Coming?" Jingyin didn't even raise her head. Her hands were processing documents so fast that they left afterimages. She processed documents as quickly as an octopus.

"Well, the person from Anbu said that Lady Tsunade is looking for me." Whenever Naruto is free, he can see Uzuki Yugao every few days.

The purple hair and the animal mask of the Anbu are too eye-catching. After Tsunade came to power and took over the Anbu, Uzuki Yugao seemed to be given an important position.

I don’t know if it has anything to do with Moonlight Gale. After all, her fiancé died in the line of duty, and she became a widow.

"Actually, I was the one looking for you. I asked the Anbu to send someone to call you over." Shizune stopped what she was doing and looked up at him. "Tsunade-sama has been a bit busy lately, mainly because of Sunagakure matters."

"Sangakure?" Naruto's eyelids twitched slightly, and he had a bad feeling.

"Yes, Gaara of Sand Village is expected to become the Fifth Kazekage. A small number of high-ranking officials in Sand Village are no longer able to stop him, so they used despicable means to force him to leave Sand Village."

Shizune spoke calmly, as if laying the groundwork for a speech.

"The village will give Gaara reasonable assistance within the scope of his alliance, and most of the high-ranking officials on the Sand Village side are also on Gaara's side, so..."

"So?" Naruto asked.

"Gaara succeeding as the Fifth Kazekage is a good outcome for the village and even the Land of Fire." Shizune nodded and said.

"I don't care if the world is at peace or not. Even if there's a war, it doesn't matter." Naruto said, interrupting Shizune. "Anyway, I don't do any weird or troublesome missions."

"Your personality is really..." Jingyin's face was expressionless.

"Huh? There's nothing we can do about it. This village... is terrible too." Naruto turned around and said, not hiding his dislike for the village.

"People are shaped by the environment they live in. My personality was slowly developed in Konoha. No matter what, Konoha is the one that should take responsibility. After all..."

Shizune couldn't stand it any longer, and she gradually understood why Tsunade-sama wanted to get angry at the sight of Naruto. With such a disgraceful character, she wanted to slam Naruto into the wall right then and there.

But she was not Tsunade after all. Facing the stubborn prince of Konoha, Shizune took a deep breath and suppressed her anger, and persuaded him in a gentle voice.

"Well, it's not a strange mission. It's just to get in touch with the eldest princess of Sunagakure. Naruto, you also know the relationship between Konoha and Sunagakure. Although they have become allies, the relationship has always been quite tense."

"A relationship based on shared interests is never as strong as a closer relationship, even if it's just a close friendship."

"What does it have to do with me?" Naruto put his hands in his pockets.

"Of course it does. Lady Tsunade is also more concerned about this matter. Don't you want to share Lady Tsunade's worries?" Shizune stood up directly from the chair.

She would never say anything like doing it for the village or even for peace in the ninja world. She knew Naruto too well and he was not interested in such things.

"I don't want to." Naruto shook his head like a rattle.

"Lady Tsunade..." He had just finished speaking when the sound of crisp footsteps suddenly rang out in the corridor outside. He was very familiar with that footsteps.

The sound of "pa pa pa" was like knocking on his heart, and the feeling of oppression was immediately maximized.

"Lady Tsunade is overworked every day. It is my honor to share her worries with such a small matter." Naruto took emergency precautions and calmly changed his words.

The eldest princess of the Senju clan stood outside the door, frowned and stared at Naruto's back, said nothing, came in, took some information and left.

The green robe brushed against Naruto's side, making him nervous. The pressure from the Konoha Empress was too great. It was mainly because Tsunade was too busy recently and her temper was not very good.

Naruto basically hid and kept silent as long as possible, for fear of being noticed by Tsunade.

Tsunade stopped halfway through her walk, turned around and looked at Naruto, and spoke.

"I'll wait for you outside. When you're done with your business, come out for a moment."

"it is good."

Shizune looked at Naruto's sudden change of tone, slightly stunned, thinking to herself that there really was always a way out. She had tried her best to talk Naruto down, but Naruto remained unmoved. His expression had completely changed the moment Tsunade-sama arrived.

Oh man.

Since Naruto had already agreed, Shizune had nothing more to say. Shizune explained the details of the Sunagakure and ended the conversation. She also urged Naruto to get out quickly and not keep Tsunade-sama waiting too long.

Naruto was a little reluctant and dragged himself out.

Tsunade stood outside in the corridor, her green robes blown by the wind. It had been almost a year since she took on the position of Godaime Hokage, and her earlier willfulness had faded considerably.

"If you don't like what's happening in Sunagakure, you can just deal with it casually." She began, "Jiraiya sent a message saying that he has found some information about the Akatsuki organization."

"They seem to be entrenched in the Land of Rain, where there are frequent wars. He wants to investigate on his own, but he also wants to come back first to take you to Mount Myōboku."

"Are you asking for my opinion?" Naruto was slightly stunned.

"Yeah." Tsunade breathed out and reached out to pinch his face, "He is your teacher after all. I want to hear your opinion."

Naruto thought for a moment, then looked up and said.

"Let's let the lecherous sage return first. There's no rush for the Rain Country. Since someone like Uchiha Itachi can serve the Akatsuki organization, it proves that the Akatsuki organization is definitely not an ordinary organization."

"If we rush in with limited intelligence, even a lustful immortal would be in danger."

"Well, I have the same concerns." Tsunade smiled with relief, "Since you said so, there is no need to hesitate."

"You won't be assigned any missions in the near future. The reorganization of Team 7 has been put on hold. Everything will be settled after Jiraiya returns. Kakashi is no longer in charge of Team 7's missions and has gone to further his studies."

Naruto thought for a while, carefully savoring the meaning of Tsunade's words, and thought of another possibility, and couldn't help but frowned and asked.

"Does the higher-ups have any plans for the tailed beasts?"

"Well," Tsunade said, "You don't need to worry about those things. Whether it's the advisors or other senior executives, they are already old. Their ideas are rotten and outdated. All they think about all day is annexation and war."

"Will Tsunade-sama be in a difficult situation? Will she have to argue with the higher-ups or something?"

"What?" Tsunade was obviously stunned for a moment, and looked at Naruto with a look of surprise, "Difficult? Why do you think so?"

"After all, she is a high-ranking official in the village. There will always be some trouble." Naruto didn't understand why Tsunade reacted like this, and said hesitantly.

"Although Lady Tsunade is the Fifth Hokage, her foundation is not stable after all. Wouldn't it be a bad idea to have such a big conflict with the top management just one year after taking office?"

"Although Danzo and his gang are not good people and they sent people to test me before, there is nothing we can do about him if he doesn't admit it."
