In Konoha, Naruto lies down

She wanted to say a few more words, but there was a sudden click of the door lock turning, and Sakura suddenly changed and shut up immediately. Naruto was not in a hurry, just staring at Sakura with a smile, and had no intention of getting up.

She tried to go to the balcony, but Naruto blocked her way.

The sound of someone changing shoes could be heard from the entrance, and Sakura panicked and hid in the bathroom. Seeing that the bathroom door was about to be locked, Naruto quickly entered the bathroom.

With a click, Naruto turned on the light and the shower in the bathroom, pressing Sakura against the wall. The warm water instantly soaked both of them. He lowered his voice, ignoring Sakura's frightened look.

"Wait until Ino gets closer to the bathroom. You'll be heard. You have about twenty seconds now."

Sakura's heart was beating like a drum, and she was shocked by the water and spoke with a slight tremor.

"She seems to be waking up, for real this time."

"I'm afraid of disappearing or falling asleep. I don't want to see you again when I'm old. I..."

Naruto had already covered her mouth with his hand, signaling her to be quiet with his eyes. The only sound left in the bathroom was the splashing of water, and Ino's coquettish voice could be heard from the living room.

"You're so slow! Didn't you agree to go with me today?"

"Wait a minute, I'm taking a shower and will be ready soon." Naruto added, "Ino, help me get some clothes."

"Don't you even take clothes with you when you take a shower?" Ino muttered.

"Since you say so, I can only come out naked." Naruto skillfully put foam on his head and actually wanted to take a shower.

Sakura blinked and huddled in the corner, not daring to breathe.

"Forget it, I'll find it for you." Ino complained, tied her hair up, turned around and pushed open Naruto's room.

He figured the smell in the living room had mostly dissipated, so Ino probably hadn't noticed anything unusual. After all, the dishes were washed, and Sakura's scent had been diluted by the eel rice.

Sakura blushed and turned her head away consciously, feeling unexpectedly shy.

He called it a bath, but it was just a quick lather and a quick rinse. He waited until Ino knocked on the bathroom door before he changed his clothes and walked out.

"Why did you come straight here?"

"...it's because you like being late so much."

"How is that possible? I woke up early for today and even had breakfast. Do you know a saying?......"

Naruto and Ino's voices faded away, and the door closed with a click. In the dark bathroom, Sakura fumbled to turn on the light, changed out of her wet clothes, and took a shower.

After wrapping herself in a bath towel, she put the washed clothes into the dryer to dry. Listening to the humming sound of the dryer, her heart suddenly calmed down.

He had spoken out, and it had indeed turned out this way. But this was exactly what he would do, the same jerk and scoundrel as always.

The panic she had felt for days vanished, like a long daydream of a whale. She knew that even if that day came, he would definitely not sit idly by and would probably be awakened even if he was asleep.

"I'm sorry for wasting so much of your time and for lying to you." She lay down where he had been, her eyes beginning to wander. "It doesn't seem like a big deal."

In a trance, she remembered a question she had asked Naruto before.

"What does it feel like to wait for someone for a long time?"

"I don't feel anything. I've been waiting for a long time. I should go see him and give him a hand." Naruto gestured and said, "Those who are waiting here are ****."

With a bang, the door suddenly opened from the outside at the moment when she was half conscious.

Chapter 303: I vowed that there is no final conclusion regarding the future of my children

The door opened, and Jiuwei, holding a bottle of wine, stood at the edge of the living room like Old Tom, tiptoeing and looking towards the sofa.

"That brat deserves to die. He went out to play by himself, but still had to order me around."

"To please the owner is really despicable."

"There aren't many foxes as strong-willed as me in the entire ninja world. Damn it, the world is really going downhill... What did you mean? Never mind."

Nine-Tails walked to the sofa holding the wine bottle, poked the half-conscious Sakura's face with the bottle, and shouted, "Wake up."

"Why isn't there any reaction?" It muttered to itself, "Damn it! I've been drinking and building up my chakra for years. I really don't want to waste it."

Her body had started to feel unwell a month or two ago, and she had tried many things but to no avail. So she secretly went to see that movie by herself, and when she came back, she felt at peace.

She didn't want to struggle anymore and wanted to spend these last moments peacefully. Even though her consciousness as a second personality was about to fall asleep, she forced herself to calm down.

She stayed up until the early hours of the morning yesterday and finished her work. She woke up before dawn this morning and suddenly wanted to eat eel rice, so she made it.

She knew today was a workday. She had lied to Naruto about stopping by, she simply wanted to be with him. Even if she tried to be calm, she still felt scared.

In the past few years, she has not relied too much on her parents. To her, Sakura's parents are not her parents. They love the first personality that existed at birth, not her who appeared halfway.

In her heart, the only person she can rely on is Naruto, and he is the only one who knows her secret.

Holding the thought that "as long as I stay with him, I won't be so scared", Sakura knocked on Naruto's door early in the morning. Obviously, everything was going well and she deceived him.

But now...when she was really about to fall asleep, she was still a little scared.

A person slowly falls into a deep sleep, and may not wake up again until ten or twenty years later. By then, she may already be an old lady. What should she do then?

Confused thoughts popped up in my mind one after another, and the more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt.

Not long after, Hei Ying heard someone talking in a daze as her consciousness sank. Words like "lowly", "little brat", "Uzumaki Naruto deserves to die" and so on kept ringing in her ears.

Until my consciousness suddenly became warm and the abyss I was falling into was torn open.

She slowly opened her eyes, and what came into view was the familiar living room and sofa. The curtains on the balcony had been opened at some point, and the pear-white sunlight was pouring in.

The only thing that caught her eye was a silly-looking fox terrier standing right in front of her, looking her over and over.

"Ah!!" Sakura suddenly got up. She was not asleep, but what was happening in front of her? Could it be that the one who saved her was... a dog?

But she soon calmed down. This was Naruto's home, and the dog in front of her was naturally Naruto's. She just didn't see it often, but she seemed to have some impression of it in her memory.

But at that time, this fox terrier didn't seem... so round.

When I saw it before, the Spitz had a very fierce look. But after not seeing it for so long, it has become much rounder and looks a bit silly.

The Nine-Tailed Fox naturally didn't know that Sakura saw it this way. In its own mind, it still had the perfect filter of the eldest tailed beast and tried to show off.

But his image is too silly and he fails to show off.

"You are Naruto's pet, right?" Sakura reached out to touch the Nine-Tailed Fox's head. "Were you the one who saved me?"

Kyuubi dodged it directly and spoke coldly.

"You're the pet!"

"I am Nine..." He got stuck in the middle of his words. Thinking of Konoha's many enemies, he changed his words from the heart, "Nine little ghosts are not as good as me..."

"Anyway, you don't deserve to know my name."

"You can talk. Are you a ninja dog like Parker?" Sakura didn't care about the dog's tsundere attitude. She let out a breath and asked with a smile.

"Haha, a ninja dog?" Nine-Tailed Fox said with some disdain, "I'm not a ninja dog."

"Okay, but thanks for saving me anyway," Sakura said with a smile, kissing Kyuubi on one of his chubby cheeks.

"Watch your behavior, human." Nine Tails wiped his hands with his claws in disgust. "If you want to thank someone, thank that brat. He was the one who let me up from downstairs."

"If he hadn't promised to buy me some good wine, I wouldn't have bothered with you."

Kyuubi's arrogant tone did not make her feel uncomfortable, but rather very happy. Sakura felt a little touched, thinking that Naruto was still worried about her.

"In that case, I'll buy you a drink!" She stood up from the sofa.

The feeling of surviving a catastrophe made her feel very happy, even though she didn't know how much longer she could suppress it. But for her, her fate had long been determined, and hanging on a little longer would be a huge profit.

Some things should be done early to avoid regrets in the future. She thought to herself, having already made a decision she had thought about long ago.

"You? Buying wine?" Kyuubi's ears perked up, instantly perking up. "Really?"

Just now, it saw that Sakura was about to lose consciousness, and in a panic, it almost transferred all the chakra refined in its body into Sakura's body. This wave was really a huge loss.

Sakura's awakening was an accident. Kyuubi himself didn't know what happened, but he randomly sent some purified chakra and she recovered.

Its true form is a ball of chakra. After years of hard work, the chakra that Naruto finally gathered was used for inexplicable purposes.

Last time, he used a bottle of fine wine to instigate the Nine-Tails to make a bet and shoot a bird in the sky. As a result, the Nine-Tails, unaware of the truth, shot down the summoning beast of the ninja at the root of the human world with a small tailed beast ball.

Naruto slipped away in an instant, and the man and the dog hid at 404 Konoha Street for half a month without showing up.

Whenever he thought of that incident, Jiuwei's teeth itched with hatred. That guy was a real dog, always doing nothing and harboring evil intentions all day long.

Another time, it was raining heavily outside. Naruto had nowhere to go, so he huddled on the sofa, watching Intimacy Paradise while giving PUA to the Nine-Tails. He said he had no money and how hard it was to work all day to support it.

Less than two days later, Kyuubi saw Naruto on the street corner and bought a pond for fishing without blinking, but forgot about it the moment he turned around.

There are many similar things, so that now the Nine-Tailed Fox has completely stopped commenting on Naruto's character. When he gets angry, he just curses the lowly human brats and curses a lot.

The opponent didn't even raise his eyelids, and the words "you are a dog" directly broke the Nine-Tailed Fox's defense.

Having grown up in this kind of environment, Kyuubi was still a little unaccustomed to Sakura's proactive overtures. Even though it knew that she was being grateful, it still didn't fully believe it.

After all, Naruto has done similar things before, and he always tricks it.

"Yeah, just buying some wine. I'm an adult and can definitely buy it myself." Sakura smiled and spoke patiently to Kyuubi.

"Do you have money?"

"How much is considered rich?" Sakura smiled.

"Compared to that brat?" Kyuubi asked, his face serious. "Who has more money, you or him?"

Sakura didn't know that the Nine-Tailed Fox had already planned to have two affairs. Last time, it had done so, and its target was Hinata. However, after being discovered, this connection was broken.

"He has more money," Sakura said without hesitation.

In fact, she didn't know how much money Naruto had, and she didn't even think about it. Even in front of a dog, she instinctively protected his face.

No reason, because he really deserves it.

Hearing this, the Nine-Tailed Fox suddenly lost interest. No money? No money, what's the point of talking about a treasure? In its eyes, Naruto wasn't a very wealthy person.

Maybe he has some money hidden from it, but it is definitely not very rich.

Since Sakura is not as rich as Naruto, then the matter of the three-surnamed servants needs to be considered again. As for Hinata, it will occasionally go there to ask for money.

Although Hinata listened to Naruto very much and didn't secretly give it alcohol after that time, she still had to feed it food.

Therefore, Sakura, who was not as rich as Naruto, was crossed off his list. He thought that a few bottles of wine would be good, better than nothing.

"Well, human, since you insist." Kyuubi said as he stood on the sofa, "I will reluctantly accompany you."

Listening to Kyuubi's old-fashioned tone, Sakura was also amused.

It wasn't until Sakura and Kyuubi ordered dozens of cases of wine that Kyuubi's expression turned serious. It seemed careless, it thought, rubbing its chin with its paw.

Oh my god, I’m really going to become a slave to three families.

........

At this time, Naruto was sitting in the steam train carriage with Ino, and he didn't know that the Nine-Tails had accidentally stabilized Sakura's condition. He just ran into the sneaky Nine-Tails when he was going downstairs and asked him to go up and take a look.

To be honest, he didn't have any good solution for Sakura's situation.

Konoha's medical ninjutsu had little research on mental health, so if they really wanted to consult, they would probably have to go to Orochimaru. However, Orochimaru had just been killed by Sasuke, and he was probably still in parasitic mode.

Besides Orochimaru, the only one who was more interested in mental ninjutsu was Kabuto Yakushi. However, he and Kabuto Yakushi had a feud, and the other party wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible.

I don’t know if that incident left a psychological trauma on Yaoshi Kabuto, but the next time they meet, he will continue to greet his mother in the same way.

After all, Kabuto Yakushi was as cautious as Orochimaru, and even if he was willing to help Naruto, he would probably try to trip him up in secret. So for him, it made no difference whether he offended Naruto or made friends with him.

This is the inevitable behavior caused by different positions and has nothing to do with evil.

Sakura's body was already in this state, and she probably needed to ask Tsunade for more information on the breakthrough point. He was an adult now, and his status and position were almost the same.

If it's just about gathering some secret intelligence, it shouldn't be a big problem. There's still hope for a cure; after all, the world is so big it's impossible for there to be no similar cases.

"This train is too outdated, isn't it?" Naruto was so shocked that he swallowed his mouthful of water three times. "If I pee on this train, it will splash on my face."

Ino had a satisfied smile on her face, her seat pressed tightly against him, but she immediately frowned when she heard him say that.

"Don't say those vulgar words!"

"Alright, you're the eldest lady." Naruto leaned against the train with an indifferent look on his face.

"Are you angry?" Ino softened her tone and said, half explaining, half coaxing, "I heard others say that children are influenced by their parents' words and actions."

"Child?" Naruto's eyelids twitched slightly, and amid the clanging sound of the train, he turned his head and looked at Ino in surprise, "Your mother lied to you. A kiss won't result in a child."

"I know." Ino glanced at him like a fool, her face getting hot again, and she said hurriedly, "I said later."

"Huh? You know how babies are born, right?" He stared at Ino for a few seconds, and Ino was instantly defeated. She turned her head and whispered that she didn't know.
