In Konoha, Naruto lies down

"Sister, is there anything outside?"

"Ah!" Hinata was startled. She turned around and saw Hinata Hanabi looking at her with a puzzled expression. Her face suddenly turned red as if it was burning.

"No...nothing!"

"Let me take a look." Hinata Hanabi turned sideways and was about to go out to take a look, but was suddenly stopped by the panicked Hinata.

"It's really nothing! Don't look!" Hinata hooked her sister's neck and pulled her into the Hyuga base. "Let's go home. I have something to tell you."

"But sister...I need to go out."

"Let's go later." Hinata's heart was pounding, and she took Hinata Hanabi away by force.

If the secret were discovered by Hanabi, she would die on the spot.

404 Konoha Street.

After returning home, Naruto changed his shoes at the entrance, walked into the living room, and first glanced at it calmly. Kyuubi was drunk and sleeping soundly on the sofa.

Fortunately, the Nine-Tailed Fox is a tailed beast, and its energy body is not dirty and does not need to be urinated, otherwise he would definitely throw this drunkard fox out.

The living room was filled with a faint smell of alcohol. Naruto silently returned to the room, closed the door, and took out the Hyuga family's good wine that he had gotten from Hinata.

Then he took out ten high-end bottles bought from the street from the sealed space and placed them in a row on the ground.

Pour the Hyuga family's finest wine from the jade bottle into a high-end bottle, and then pour the inferior wine in the sealed space into the other nine similar high-end bottles.

After doing all this, he put away all the utensils, opened the door, and walked into the living room. Not long after sitting down, he took out the bottle of fine wine.

The bottle was opened with a pop, and the faint aroma of wine filled the air.

Nine-Tailed Fox's nose twitched while he was soundly asleep, and he suddenly opened his eyes. His gaze was immediately drawn to the high-end wine bottle on the table, and he was almost blinded by the light!

"Good wine!!!" Kyuubi turned over and stood up, reaching out to touch it, but was pushed away by Naruto.

“What are you doing!!!”

"What are you doing?" Naruto resealed the wine and glanced at the hungry Nine-Tails slowly, "I'm using it to offer sacrifices to my ancestors."

"What kind of ancestors are you offering sacrifices to, little brat? I've never seen you offer sacrifices to your ancestors before. Why don't you just offer sacrifices to me? It's a waste to keep it anyway, so why not give it to me?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Did the money come from the wind?" Naruto showed no mercy. "Kuroma, you have to make some contribution to this family, otherwise why would you drink the wine used to worship the ancestors?"

"I...this." Kyuubi was speechless.

"Besides, there are only ten bottles of wine for ancestor worship, and we didn't prepare any more." Naruto calmly took out another nine bottles of identical inferior wine from the sealed space.

"Ten bottles!!! Is that not enough?" Kyuubi asked in surprise.

"Is it not okay to have many ancestors?"

"Why are you offering sacrifices to your ancestors for no reason?" Kyuubi's eyes never left the ten bottles of wine on the table, and he stretched out his claws to reach for them.

"It's no use telling you. You can't help anyway, so don't ask." As he said that, Naruto put away all ten bottles of wine. After thinking about it, he left two bottles of ordinary wine.

"I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

Without the good wine, Jiuwei suddenly felt bored, but when he thought about how that guy always liked to fish in a mysterious way... Jiuwei didn't stop him and let him leave.

Hearing the door slam shut, the living room returned to silence. A refreshing breeze blew from the balcony, the curtains gently lifted, and Jiuwei suddenly felt that life was boring again.

Lying back down on the sofa, he stared at the two bottles of ordinary wine on the table. He subconsciously reached for them but found he had no desire to drink. His eyes were fixed on the ceiling, the living room dimly lit.

The golden and jade-like packaging of the ten bottles of fine wine was like ten foxes with fur as white as snow and eyes as bright as water. In its heart, it was tempting and itchy.

Ten seconds later, with a bang, Kyuubi stood up on his feet and said viciously.

"Damn it! That fisherman deserves to die!"

The sunset is dim.

The shadow of the Hokage Building stretched out very long, standing tall in the orange dusk.

The office on the fifth floor was pushed open from the outside.

Tsunade leaned back in her chair, her eyes still closed as she said, "It's time to get off work."

That bastard was the only one in the whole village who never knocked on the door. Tsunade had been working non-stop for almost a month and was exhausted as a dog. She had finally finished all her work and naturally had no time to pay attention to him.

Ino was standing at the filing cabinet, sorting out documents and getting ready to leave. Turning around, she saw Naruto, whom she hadn't seen in a few days, had come straight to her. She was so nervous she wanted to hide in the filing cabinet.

On an ordinary evening afternoon, the windows of the Hokage's office were wide open.

The setting sun climbed in through the window without any scruples, casting a layer of pale orange light over the entire office.

Tsunade was lying in a chair with a tired look on her face, while Ino was wearing a neat and tidy professional suit. The white long-sleeved shirt fully showed off her slender figure, and the lower body was a black hip-hugging half-length professional skirt.

Her long snow-white legs were exposed in the dusk, and her face looked flustered and hurried.

He was standing at the door, dressed in black, clean as ever, even his hat was black. He didn't just focus on training to become the Hokage, he also occasionally paid attention to his appearance.

The youthfulness cannot be concealed under the loose clothes, and the outline of the body can be vaguely seen.

His shoulders were broad, and the wind blew, outlining the boy's muscular figure. He looked thin, and when he was silent, his eyes seemed a little deep, a little different from his usual self.

Ino's heart suddenly started beating faster, and she felt like she had done something wrong. She glanced at Naruto's smooth jawline at the door and turned away.

"What has Lady Tsunade been busy with lately?" Naruto took off his hat, smiled, and strode in.

The atmosphere finally relaxed a little. Ino stood at the file cabinet by the wall with her head down, continuing to organize the documents, like an elementary school student who was punished to face the wall for doing something wrong.

"What? Do you want to share my worries?" Tsunade yawned, and the exposed part of her body was snow-smooth and upright.

"Forget it, I'm not cut out for clerical work." Naruto put his hat on the desk and glanced at Ino who was sitting in the corner with her back to him.

He stared at it and said.

"Next time you need a high-risk mission, you can look for me. I'm lucky, and I was born to do this."

"Just keep talking nonsense. We'll talk about it when Jiraiya comes back." Tsunade raised a hand to cover her eyes and said lazily, "Now only Neji and Shino have missions."

"This summer, they should be senior enough to be named the first group of Jonin."

"Jonin, when can I become a Jonin?"

"Forget it, you don't care at all." Tsunade said lazily, "Stop pretending. It's time to get off work. If you have nothing to do, leave quickly. Don't stand here and bother me."

Tsunade had already ordered them to leave. She was too tired to argue with Naruto, so she just waved her hand and sent them away.

"Is it time to get off work now?"

"Ah."

"Can I take the person with me?"

Hearing this, Ino, who was sorting documents in the corner, suddenly stopped for a moment, her heart pounding. What did he just say? No way, but...

"Ask yourself, don't ask me." Tsunade changed her lying position and continued to sleep on her side.

Ino wanted to continue organizing the materials, but she found that her mind was already in a mess. Just as she was about to cheer herself up and continue with the finishing work, she suddenly felt someone grab her shoulder. She shuddered and then felt him leaning towards her.

This is crazy! This is the office, and Lady Tsunade is still there! How could he be in a place like this... Ino felt so nervous that her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

He felt heat next to her ears and quietly twisted her shoulders, showing no intention of restraining himself.

"Sister, I was wrong."

With a bang, Ino's mind went blank.

Chapter 275: The joy of youth, the gathering and separation are quick, the hot evening breeze is constantly

Ino's whole body went completely limp. She said, "Sister, I was wrong." The sense of taboo that surged in her mind immediately threw away all the rationality she had built up.

I couldn't remember what I was angry about, and when I tried to push him away, I found I had no strength left.

Tsunade opened her eyes a crack, glanced at the two people, and then closed them again. The setting sun was filled with warm breeze, soothing her to sleep.

Naruto grabbed Ino's wrist and led her directly out of the office, gently closing the door.

In the corridor, Ino was wearing a professional suit and skirt, with slender white wrists. After some effort, she finally broke free from his hand, panting.

“.,.....You!! What are you doing!?”

"Lady Tsunade said it's time to get off work, didn't you hear that?" He said with a smile, with the wide-open window behind him, and large patches of sunset falling on his broad back.

The whole person looks thin, and the edges seem to be covered with a layer of golden light.

"I... haven't finished my work yet." She stammered, her head turned to the side, her face flushed. Her heart pounded as she kept thinking about her sister's words that almost made her feel numb.

I don't know where he learned this name from, but anyway... there is no way I will fall for it.

"Then I'll go in with you." Naruto looked at her with a smile, "I'll help you clean up. Anyway, I'm with you, otherwise I would have been following you the whole time."

Thinking that Lady Tsunade was still resting there, Ino didn't dare go back. If that person was dishonest and caused any trouble, she would never be able to face anyone again.

"No! I'm off work!" she said angrily.

She didn't know why, she wasn't that angry. But whenever she saw him, Ino felt furious, yet he always brushed her off so easily.

Naruto pulled her closer, his eyes beaming with a smile, a hint of the youthful kindness that only a young man could muster. In the empty corridor, a warm breeze filled the air, their shadows folding against the wall.

He pressed Ino against the wall, leaning in close to her neck to inhale her scent and rub against her, making her feel itchy.

"Are you sulking? Even I'm gone, huh? Hiding from me."

"I didn't." Ino's psychological defenses completely collapsed, her eyes misty, and she trembled as she retorted, "I didn't... hide from you."

"You're not hiding from me. Why didn't you tell me that you were transferred to the Hokage Building?" Naruto let go of her, his eyes a little cold, as if he would leave at any time.

"No." Ino's voice became lower and lower.

"Really?" he asked, as if he would disappear immediately after she nodded.

"I... I was a little angry, but when you did that... in the office just now, I wasn't angry anymore." She said embarrassedly.

Hearing this, he breathed a sigh of relief and asked.

"Take you for a walk tonight?"

"Where?"

"Let's go to Konoha Street and just stroll around and get something to eat." Naruto said casually, then asked, "Do you have to go to work tomorrow?"

"Yeah." She nodded. "I've been a bit busy lately, so I might be late getting off work."

"Later than today?"

"It should be around midnight. Tomorrow is the end of the month, and we have to organize the mission information, so..." Ino said in a low voice.

After hearing what Ino said, he realized that it was the end of March and April was almost here.

"Okay, I'll pick you up in the middle of the night." He said, pulling Ino out.

"Why?" She asked in a muffled voice, looking at the figure who was half a step ahead with burning eyes.

"Why so many whys? I didn't want you to go home so late alone." He said, "If I didn't know, then forget it, but if you heard it, you can't just pretend you didn't hear it."

"But...what should I do if I have to walk at night in the future?" Ino followed him downstairs. Her steps felt like they were stepping on cotton, and her mood became more and more tense.

"Just tell me and I'll come get you."

"Yeah." Ino responded, feeling a little happy in her heart, like a broken biscuit, the sweetness would spread faintly in her mouth when she bit it.

On the stairs, Naruto held her hand the whole time, and he walked in front of her a little lower than her. When they turned the corner, they met her eyes as they walked up and down the stairs.

In the dimly lit, narrow space, the cold, forbearing gaze made Ino's heart skip a beat. She didn't know how to read his gaze; it seemed like he wanted her.

But his eyes quickly swept to the bottom of the stairs, as if he was concentrating on the road.

Ino's face instantly turned red, as if on fire, her face flushed all the way to her ears as she thought about a certain possibility. Her teeth were sore from the tension, and her heart was pounding.

Konoha was actually quite prosperous, with a high population density and a wide variety of shops and daily necessities stores. The spending power of the village's ninjas was not bad, and under Tsunade's rule, it was showing signs of a second spring.

The bustling streets of Konoha were brightly lit. Ino seemed a little uncomfortable with being held by the hand, but when she tried to break free and found that she couldn't, she just let him do it.

"Why are you nervous?" he asked in surprise the moment he turned his head.

"I...didn't." She argued hurriedly.

"Your lies were too obvious. Try to cover it up a little next time." Naruto glanced at her slowly and found that her cunning look was a little cute.

But when he thought about how her expression just now was like a little girl who stole the forbidden fruit for the first time, he couldn't help but frown and asked another question.

"Did you misunderstand something?"

"No..." She denied it at first, then took advantage of the fact that there were not many people on the street, leaned close to his shoulder and whispered, "Do you want to take me to that place?"
