In Konoha, Naruto lies down

The next day it was early again, and even though Naruto was very sleepy, he still got up.

It’s nothing, it’s just a habit.

He washed up and went out as usual. Before leaving, he found a bag of fresh tomatoes in the kitchen. After putting a few in his pocket, he hurried out.

Naruto looked more tired than yesterday as he channeled one-tenth of his chakra step by step, as if all his energy had been drained out.

Konan's face was filled with worry, and Nagato's brows were also furrowed.

If Jiraiya were to ask about this and find that his junior apprentice had overindulged himself, how would he explain this? Could it be that his bones were damaged?

Konan looked at Nagato, who also didn't know what to say.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise at the stairs, followed by Naruto's violent coughing. He coughed desperately, as if his lungs were gone.

Konan and Nagato thought something was wrong and rushed over, only to see Naruto leaning against the wall and spitting blood from afar.

"Cough cough cough!!! Damn, I can choke even on a tomato."

Konan wanted to step forward, but was stopped by Nagato with a serious expression. He shook his head and said.

"I already tried to persuade him yesterday. He's a stubborn person. There's no point in trying to persuade him now. Why not send him away tomorrow?"

The next day.

Naruto, with dark circles under his eyes, stood there in a daze, looking at Nagato and Konan and asked.

"What do you mean by enough?"

"There's really nothing wrong with my body! I can't say anything else, but the amount of chakra is definitely effective. Ahem!!! Sorry, I choked on my saliva."

Konan and Nagato looked unconvinced and refused to let Naruto replenish Nagato's chakra no matter what.

"I appreciate your kindness, but Naruto, you really shouldn't force yourself any further." Nagato said in a hoarse voice, "I already have enough chakra in my body."

Hearing this, Naruto wanted to say something else, but was interrupted by Konan's eyes.

With a sigh, he no longer insisted.

"alright."

Looking at his compromised look with his shoulders drooped, Konan was slightly moved. He was indeed the disciple who inherited Jiraiya's will for peace.

Even though he has a bad character and is despicable, his soul is still a blazing light, the last ray of light they encounter after experiencing so much suffering and darkness.

"This is for you." Konan handed Naruto a bouquet of paper flowers.

"Didn't you send it last time?" Naruto was a little surprised.

"Hmm?" Xiaonan shook her head. "Last time it was a flower of gratitude, this time it's a flower of hope for farewell."

She raised her head and a sincere smile appeared on her face, like sunlight breaking through the clouds after a rainstorm.

"I hope you will become a flower of hope that never fades."

Chapter 330: Couple dinner with Shikamaru and Chouji, so bring Ino along?

After leaving the Land of Rain, Naruto thought about it and used the Impure World Reincarnation to find a sparring partner for Hydrangea who would never get tired, Kimimaro.

There happened to be a bone left by Kimimaro in the sealed space, which was taken out by the Impure World Reincarnation and thrown into the altar of the evil god.

After training once, Hydrangea was completely numb. Begging for mercy was useless, so she could only struggle as hard as she could, throwing herself into the training again and again.

Fortunately, the limit is only one hour a day, and after that hour of hell comes a lovely rest time. Only when lying in bed can Hydrangea truly feel alive.

After finding a sparring partner for Hydrangea, Naruto left her alone. He quickly returned to Konoha to report back. Half a month had passed since he left the village.

It was late March.

The cherry blossom trees next to the Hokage Building showed signs of blooming. Kakashi looked up and down at Naruto's mission report with his dead fish eyes and was speechless for a long time.

"Your mission report is a bit abstract." Kakashi put it down and looked at Naruto helplessly.

"It's a special mission, I can't describe it in too much detail." Naruto made up an excuse.

Kakashi didn't bother asking, after all, he had already learned about the Rain Country from Jiraiya's message. Konoha's attitude was to let it go and not care.

Just give the money and we'll do the job, no more questions.

After leaving the Hokage Building, he first went to the Konoha Hospital. Hei Ying looked the same, and everything else seemed normal.

"Why are you staring at me?" Hei Ying asked with a smile, "Did you miss me after not seeing me for half a month? If you do, it's not impossible to have sex with me."

Naruto said nothing, lowered his head and spat into the trash can.

Hei Ying: “….”

"Are you still holding a grudge?" she asked softly. Her pink hair was already past her shoulders and had not been trimmed. It was simply tied behind her head.

"What grudge?" Naruto looked confused, pretending not to understand, "No need, Haruno Sakura, who cares about you so much? It's okay, I'm leaving first."

Sakura knew he did it on purpose, but she didn't expect that he would pour a bucket of cold water on her as soon as he came back.

"Get out of the way." He had already walked to the door, a little impatient.

"No!" Sakura blocked his way with her body, leaning against the door and looking up at him, "I don't want that either. Can't you forgive me just once?"

Naruto didn't say anything, but responded to her with his actions.

He pushed Sakura aside with one hand and opened the door directly. Before leaving, he looked at her deeply and said cruelly.

"I don't have time to guess what you're thinking now. When you've made up your mind, we'll talk about it."

Sakura watched him walk away, her eyes slowly losing focus. Sitting back in her office chair, she looked at her daily routine and for the first time, felt annoyed.

She raised her head slightly to take a look at the bright halo, and when she squinted her eyes, she hid all her suppressed emotions in them.

In this small duty room, she still remembered Naruto's evasive expression when he first learned the truth. Later, he said so sincerely that he would always remember her and die with her tombstone.

It’s really good to be alive, and no one doesn’t want to live a good life.

Sometimes, she thought that if they ever had a child, they would have it alone. But now, she probably wouldn't have any.

Her eyes were red and tears fell when she raised her head slightly.

.......

After leaving Konoha Hospital in a hurry, he did not look for Ino or Hinata, nor did he go home. Instead, he immediately ran to Satomigaoka Villa and met with Kurama Yakumo.

afternoon.

Kurama Yakumo watched Naruto skillfully force Ido out again, then he silently walked to a corner of the house and squatted down with his ears covered to avoid being frightened.

Ido: "Wait! We can talk."

"Ah! Don't you understand what I'm saying?"

Naruto didn't listen to Ido at all. He hadn't fought for half a month, so how could he give in on his first try? He knew it was a trick, so he might as well give him a beating first.

Thinking of this, the strength in his hands could not help but increase a little. At that moment, Yidu really felt the disparity of the world. It turned out that perverts really existed!

After cleaning up Ido, Naruto sat down and poured himself a glass of water. Ido returned to Yakumo's body, and Yakumo stood timidly in the corner, lowering his head and waiting for Naruto to leave.

However, this time he did not leave directly. Instead, he called up the system panel that only he could see, clicked on the Task III panel and examined it carefully for a while.

"You asked me last time how to become a normal ninja, right?" He suddenly looked up and asked Kurama Yakumo.

".......Yes." Kurama Yakumo didn't know why Naruto brought up that matter at this time. At that time, he rejected him because of his poor physical fitness.

Despite her desperate pleas, he only gave her a vague reply: "I'll help her think of a solution." Could it be that...? He already had a solution?

"Your health is too poor and you are not suitable to be a ninja." Naruto said after a moment's hesitation.

"I know, but I still want to try." Kurama Yakumo pinched himself with the hand on his leg, raised his head and said with courage.

He roughly knew that this was the greatest wish of Kurama Yakumo's parents before they died, and he did not expose their scars. After all, he was not a Voice of China instructor who liked to listen to misery stories.

"Okay, there's a way to improve your physique," he said sternly, "but... you'll have to pay a price."

"Hey!!! Don't take off your clothes!"

"You're sick! Who do you take me for?"

"Oh." Kurama Yakumo put on his clothes obediently, looked him in the eyes and asked, "What do you need me to do?"

"Ahem." Naruto looked at her deeply and asked mysteriously, "Have you heard of the evil god?"

【Kurama Yakumo】

[Konoha Village - Genin - Female - 18 years old]

[Evil God Followers-Actionable... (options hidden)]

[Talent: Illusion]

At the bottom of the panel there is a comment about Kurama Yakumo, [A weak and helpless illusionist girl]

Damn, the system's evaluation is really pertinent! Last time, it evaluated Hydrangea as a useless summoning girl, and now it evaluates Kurama Yakumo as weak and unable to take care of herself.

But the little girl was easy to fool, and after just a few words, she became a follower of the evil god. However, with her physique, she had to be careful even when training, lest she become the Lin Daiyu of the ninja world.

The Evil God Altar could maintain her immortality, which meant that the training would be more strenuous, but it was still beneficial to her body. Proper training was similar to nourishment.

Anyway, he already has a secretary who is undergoing business training, so he doesn't need Yakumo Kurama to work for him for the time being, so he just needs to keep her.

"Is this all right?" Kurama Yakumo was a little confused. He touched various parts of his body but didn't feel anything unusual.

"That's right, that's all." Naruto nodded, "You should have a good rest for two days. I'll find you again in two days and you'll know then."

"Oh oh." Kurama Yakumo didn't show much expression.

Naruto didn't stay long and went straight home. After a quick wash and a nap, he was exhausted after so many days of traveling and donating some of his chakra to Nagato.

At night, Naruto changed into loose clothes and went downstairs to buy food.

Not long after he started wandering around the street, he ran into some acquaintances: Shikamaru, Choji, and two girls with extraordinary temperament who looked a little unfamiliar.

The four of them seemed to be shopping, trying to decide where to eat. Shikamaru and Choji were both dressed casually in short-sleeved shirts and shorts, with worried expressions on their faces.

The two girls next to them were wearing makeup and youthful, bright clothes. They were holding them and saying something in dissatisfaction.

Seeing this, Naruto quickly shrank his neck, thinking that he hadn't been discovered, and quickly left. They were on a date, and it would be inappropriate for him to go there alone to buy food.

Unexpectedly, Shikamaru caught Naruto's eye first, shouted suddenly, and waved at him. Naruto's eyelids twitched, and he thought to himself that what he feared would come true.

"Why are you hiding?" Shikamaru still looked the same, listless and listless, looking a bit like a henpecked husband.

"I didn't hide." Naruto patted the wrinkles on his clothes.

The atmosphere among the four of them was quite lively, but Shikamaru's shout broke the mood. The two girls immediately looked over and sized Naruto up.

The one next to Shikamaru was a head shorter than him, had very fair skin and a generous smile. The one next to Choji was not the dark-skinned ninja from the Hidden Cloud Village as you might imagine, but a cute, slightly plump female ninja from Konoha.

Because Naruto disrupted the Akatsuki organization's plan, thus extending the timeline, the Fourth Shinobi World War did not start as scheduled. Shikamaru and Chouji reached the age of marriage and naturally had people around them.

The Fourth Shinobi World War had not yet begun, and the five great nations still had rifts. At this time, a cross-border marriage was naturally unnecessary.

The old Ino-Shika-Cho family is more than capable of marrying into any family in Konoha.

"Uzumaki Naruto, the guy I mentioned last time." Shikamaru turned around and casually introduced the two women, "We grew up together, so if we meet, let's eat together."

"Yes, let's do it together." Shikamaru agreed happily.

The two women greeted Naruto with a smile and readily agreed to Shikamaru's proposal. They also knew that Naruto had a very special relationship with the Fifth and Sixth Hokage.

It wasn't that he was snobbish, it was just that he saw things more clearly than others because they were in the same circle of friends. At least there wouldn't be any arrogant farce. There was no reason to be arrogant in front of this group of second-generations.

Although Naruto is also a second-generation, his circle of friends only overlaps with Shikamaru and a few others. So even though Shikamaru's friends know Naruto, Naruto will not take the initiative to contact them.

There is no need to explain the reasons.

Just like people from two different worlds, even if they live in the same village, there is no need to disturb each other. Naruto also knows his own weight and how he looks in the eyes of others.

"Are you two shameless? You should be in pairs, why should I join in the fun alone?" Naruto waved his hand to refuse. Isn't this just dog abuse?

"Ino should be at home too, why don't you just call her out?" Shikamaru complained.

"Yeah, the Yamanaka Flower Shop seems to be not far from here." Choji squinted his green eyes and smiled, "Naruto, why don't you call Ino out to have dinner together?"

"It's just a meal anyway, so eating with four isn't as lively as eating with six."

"Okay!" The girl next to Shikamaru spoke immediately.

Naruto: "I....Okay."

He was thinking of finishing his meal early and going home to sleep, and that he would talk about finding Ino tomorrow. But with the two girls present, Naruto didn't want to disappoint his two best friends.
