In Konoha, Naruto lies down

So the five of them split into two groups, four of them went to the busy store to queue up first, while Naruto went to pick up Ino.

Mountain flower shop.

Pushing the door open and entering the shop, Naruto found Yamanaka Rino in the shop and immediately felt strange. But then he thought about it and realized that this flower shop was originally run by Ino's mother, so there was nothing strange about it.

Maybe it was because he always came at the wrong time and didn't meet Mrs. Yamanaka.

"Auntie." Naruto called out honestly.

"Naruto? Are you here to look for Ino?" Yamanaka Rino was satisfied with his impression and said with a smile, "Ino is upstairs, you can just go find her directly."

"Thank you, aunt." He didn't waste any words and went upstairs.

Ino had heard the noise downstairs a long time ago and was sitting at her desk, pretending to tidy up. The walls were covered with various documents. There was a pink line in the middle of the desk, and there were also a lot of documents stuck on it.

"Let's go out for dinner. Shikamaru and Choji are waiting for us." He said leaning against the door.

"No, I'm busy." She refused as a matter of course. What's the point of having dinner with those two guys? It would be better for them to be alone in the room.

"I've already promised to take you out." He walked over and pulled Ino up. "Besides, they brought girls with them. I feel embarrassed to be with them alone."

"Girls? They're on a couple's date, why are you going there?" Ino widened her eyes.

"Hmm?" Their hands clasped together, and a soft feeling came.

"It's not like I have to go. Hurry up, help is needed." Naruto tried to pull her out without saying anything, but Ino broke free. She snorted and spoke righteously.

"I need to put on makeup."

"????" Naruto looked up at the sky, "You're prettier than both of them even after washing your face. There's no need to go through so much trouble."

"Really?" Ino asked doubtfully.

"I'd be a dog if I lied to you." He sighed and advised, "Miss, people are still waiting in line for us, let's go."

"Oh!" Ino glanced at him out of the corner of her eye, her neck slightly red, and said in a muffled voice, "You go out first, I'll change my clothes."

"Yeah." He responded coldly and went out very gentlemanly.

There was a faint sweet smell in Ino's room. Naruto didn't notice it when he was standing inside, but he realized it as soon as he walked out of the room.

The rustling sound of changing clothes came from the room, but it seemed as if it didn't exist at all because of the door.

She nearly fell down while changing clothes. Her heart was beating uncontrollably, and for a moment, she even thought he was being mean by her and forcing her to change clothes in front of him.

It seems a bit shameless, but... why do I think that? It's definitely not because I like her, it must be because I haven't slept well recently that I have so many strange thoughts.

Chapter 331: I couldn’t break free, so I was just a little jealous

Shikamaru and his group found a restaurant that was doing a booming business. Looking at the crowds of people, they suddenly felt that it was a bit troublesome.

After some inquiries, he learned that the typical wait was two hours. He couldn't leave, and if the person who called his number wasn't there, his order would be voided. Shikamaru lost interest in eating when he heard that.

But I couldn't resist the two girls who were traveling with me who also liked it, so I scratched my head and had to queue up.

"Where's Choji?" Shikamaru turned around and asked.

Choji had already asked if he could pay extra to jump the queue, which wasn't really called queue jumping; it just meant booking the most expensive tables. Not long after, news arrived.

"There's a queue over there too, but it's shorter." Dingci waved the receipt in his hand and said naively, "Let's go, don't crowd here, let's go inside and wait."

"Those two haven't arrived yet. They won't be hard to find, will they?" Shikamaru asked with a frown, looking around the crowded crowd. "Go in first, I'll come out to pick them up later."

........

The night was bright, and the streets of Konoha were ablaze with lights, starting from one end of the village and spreading out in all directions like a disk.

Two blond figures walked very close together, slowly walking along the bustling night market street. The surrounding area was filled with the clamor of passersby, and the hustle and bustle was very lively.

The blonde girl has a slim and curvy figure, with her long hair casually tied into a ponytail. Her face is full of natural collagen without any dead corners, and her skin is as white and delicate as ice cream.

Every inch of the innocent girl's body exudes the breath of youth. Her face pretends to be reserved, but her eyes always glance at the boy beside her intentionally or unintentionally.

The young man was dressed casually in a white short-sleeved shirt and black shorts, with a head of fluffy blond hair. He seemed to be mumbling something, his eyes wandering around the roadside stalls.

"People in the Land of Hot Springs really have a lot of free time, there are hot springs everywhere... By the way, do you want to eat this?" Naruto said halfway as he picked up a small boxed dessert from the stall.

Without waiting for Ino's answer, Naruto paid directly. It didn't matter whether Ino ate it or not, even if she just carried it with her, he wouldn't lose anything after all.

"I don't want to eat." Ino complained.

"Give it back to me, I'll give it to Choji." Naruto said, reaching out to take it.

"No! It's confiscated!" Ino quickly protected the small cake and looked at Naruto dissatisfiedly, "Buy another one for yourself, but you are not allowed to buy the same one as mine."

"You...we only sell that kind of cake."

"I don't care!" Ino snorted and reached out to twist his hand.

He was a little speechless, but he hadn't thought of bringing any cakes for Chouji. Chouji loved meat and puffed food, and eating colorful cakes was not a man's choice, as Chouji said.

"I'm really impressed by how possessive you are when eating a cake," Naruto muttered.

"Ahem!" Ino felt a little guilty that he had seen through her, but she would never admit it even if she was beaten to death.

"Where were we talking about? Oh, right, the Land of Hot Springs." Naruto rubbed his hands and continued to talk to Ino as he walked. "The girls in the Land of Hot Springs are great, every one of them..."

"Ah!!! Ino! Why are you stepping on me?"

"Accidentally!"

"How is that possible? You did it on purpose!"

"What's wrong with doing it on purpose? Who told you to be so lustful?" Ino glared at him, "You're not doing your job properly when you're on a mission. You've learned bad habits by following Master Jiraiya."

At this time, in a market town of a small country.

Zilai, who was drinking wine, shuddered for no reason and suddenly woke up. He looked around drunkenly and wondered why he suddenly felt a chill on his back.

"This is a means of extracting information. You can't blame me." Naruto said shamelessly, and took the opportunity to put the blame on Jiraiya. It would be better for the master to die than for the apprentice to die.

"Besides, I wasn't even eighteen at the time. I was just watching from the sidelines. The one who actually did the hard work of extracting information was the lecherous immortal. I didn't do anything."

"Then you are not allowed to look at it either!"

"This is fucking... I don't want to watch it either!" Naruto defended, "The lecherous sage is drunk (the girl's legs are too white), what if something happens if I don't watch it? (It's not illegal to pay to watch it)"

"Hmph!" Ino walked straight forward.

Naruto, who was following behind her, rubbed his nose and felt worried for himself. The girl's possessiveness became more and more blatant and open as she grew older.

He now doesn't dare to mention Hinata in front of Ino, nor does he dare to mention Ino in front of Hinata. He doesn't know how long this layer of paper can last.

"When did those two guys start?" He suddenly asked Ino while walking on the road.

"What?" Ino was stunned for a moment.

"girlfriend."

"Oh, you're talking about Keiko and Tamako. We've known each other for quite a while." Ino said, "During the New Year's Festival, parents often meet each other."

Hearing this, Naruto raised his eyebrows, thinking that he had never heard of this name. There were many small families in Konoha, and many of them had close ties with the Ino, Deer, and Chou clans.

It is not difficult to understand that marriage is a way of strengthening the relationship between relatives.

"Marriage?" Naruto asked bluntly.

"Not really." The girl turned around and smiled at him, "After all, there's no better choice. After all, there's an emotional basis."

"What about you?" he asked.

"What?" Ino was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood and her face suddenly turned red. "I...I didn't, I...why are you asking?"

"Just ask."

"Oh oh." After saying that, Ino came back to her senses in an instant, a smug smile on her face, "Are you jealous?"

"No." Naruto said as he took her hand and walked forward.

"You're lying!" Ino seemed very happy, with a bright look in her eyes.

There was a flower stall in front of them, with dazzling warm lights hanging on the stall. Without thinking, Naruto took out money with his free hand, bought a bouquet of flowers and handed it to Ino.

In this way, Ino could only hold the flowers in one hand while he held her hand with the other.

He looked back, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he thought to himself, I can completely occupy your hands today, and I can completely occupy your life tomorrow.

Jealous? Not really. Okay, a little bit.

But if you ask around in Konoha, who has the final say in Konoha, any ignorant person who comes up will be twisted on the head.

"Okay, I like you." Naruto said without looking back, pulling Ino through the crowded crowd.

The voice was not drowned out by the crowd. No matter how noisy the surroundings were, the voice of the person you like is the most special. Ino's heart was moved for a moment, and she smiled with eyes like crescent moons and eyebrows like smoke.

There are many beautiful things in the world, such as reuniting after a long separation, watching the snow in winter and listening to the rain in summer. Even though they were apart more often than together, Ino still felt happy when she heard him openly express his love for her.

It's also nice to just hold hands and walk down the street, as long as it's with him.

When Shikamaru saw the two of them in the crowd, his gaze remained fixed on their holding hands for a few seconds. He looked up at Ino's hands filled with flowers and cakes and shrugged.

"Are you two having dinner or going on an outing?"

"You care too much about other people's business. Where are Choji and the others?" Naruto ignored him. Ino subconsciously tried to break free, but after struggling for a while, she found that she couldn't.

"Inside," Shikamaru turned and led the way.

She looked up at Naruto, but saw that he had an indifferent expression and pulled her around the crowd and walked inside.

"Let go!" she said in a low voice.

"No, there are too many people here." Naruto said, "Let's go in and talk."

Ino: “….”

She was a little uncomfortable with being too intimate with Naruto in front of Shikamaru and Choji, but she had no choice but to go along with it since she couldn't break away.

Chapter 332 I am the same as you, so you won’t be alone

Walking through the bustling hall, you can hear the hustle and bustle of life, and you also have to be wary of the hot steam that might come out from improper operations at the next table.

As we entered the private hallway on the third floor, the surroundings suddenly became quiet, the noise of the diners completely isolated from the ground floor. The carpet was soft underfoot, and the faint smell of spicy food could be smelled from behind the doors.

"I actually prefer to eat on the first floor, but the situation today is special, so I can only come here." Shikamaru introduced lazily. The two people behind him were his family, so there was nothing he couldn't say.

"We can't keep people waiting forever, that's not good," Ino said.

"Yeah, women are trouble."

Ino: “….”

Although she knew that Shikamaru didn't mean that, she was still a little unhappy. She couldn't beat Shikamaru, so she looked at Naruto who was grinning beside her.

"Why are you looking at me?" Naruto's expression gradually became terrified.jpg

"It's all your fault!"

"Ah!! Ino, you...you are being a little unreasonable!"

"So what? Humph." Ino was becoming more and more unreasonable.

But as soon as she pushed open the door of the private room, she immediately started playing with the two girls again. As if surrounded by flowers, the girls would burst into laughter like silver bells from time to time.

Naruto rolled his eyes and sat down next to Shikamaru, leaning back in his chair like an old man.

"When did you come back?" Shikamaru greeted skillfully. He was dressed casually, but his tone already had a hint of adultness.

Naruto didn't react, just raised his eyebrows and said something.

"today."

"You have such a deep connection with each other. We just happened to see it today." Shikamaru patted his shoulder with his thick palm and gave him a wink.

"How are you and that guy? When did you get together?"

Ino was right there, and Choji didn't dare to say the princess's name directly, so he could only use "that person" instead. Shikamaru slowly read the menu, his ears perked up.

"Nothing." Naruto sniffed, "Young people should focus on their careers. I'm not as idle as you. Love affairs are so vulgar."

With a click, Shikamaru slowly threw the menu onto the table and looked at Naruto with a slight disdain.

"You didn't even want to let go of my hand just now. What's going on? Now you're pretending to be nice. You've been teasing me for a few years with no response. Are you up to something bad?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Eat your vegetables." Naruto said.
