In Konoha, Naruto lies down

Beneath the thick green shade of the trees, looking up, there was a lush canopy of branches and leaves. The noisy chirping of cicadas reached her ears, disrupting Hinata's thoughts.

Looking up, I saw Aoba, completely obscuring my view. Looking down, I saw the boy sleeping on my lap. What would I be doing under normal circumstances? It was impossible for me to be someone's lap pillow.

Through the thin pants, she could feel the body temperature. When she thought of this, Hinata's face suddenly turned red again.

Fortunately, it was noon, and this was a remote place where no one passed by. The stone bench was a little cold, and leaning on it felt like leaning against a piece of ice.

Hinata thought about it for a while, then looked down at Naruto. With his blond hair and well-defined brows, he looked nothing like the detached figure he normally was when he was asleep.

When she looked down, she didn't realize how close they were. As she looked at him, she suddenly wanted to reach out and poke his face. His eyelashes were also very beautiful. The boy's eyelashes were unexpectedly long.

In this knee-to-pillow position, even through the fabric, you can still feel the other person's body heat after a while. It even feels like... your body temperatures are melting together, embracing each other's warmth.

His chest rose and fell evenly with his breathing, and there was no strange smell on him, just a hint of sweat. It wasn't unpleasant, at least not to Hinata's taste. However, her heartbeat was unexpectedly fast.

Although she was shy, she enjoyed this rare intimate contact.

His face rested on her thighs, pressing against the skin of her legs, giving Hinata a wonderful feeling. A warm current slowly surged in her heart, and her breathing gradually quickened. She prayed in her heart that no one would come over.

After waiting for a while, there were no strange sounds around, which proved that no one came to disturb us.

Hinata's courage gradually grew. In every sense of the word, she reached out her hand, her fingertips glistening with water, and gently touched his face before immediately withdrawing it.

Naruto didn't react much, sleeping soundly, his breathing relaxed and even.

Hinata blinked as an inexplicable thrill washed over her. She felt a deep sense of guilt, as if she had done something bad. But the thrill kept tempting her to try again.

Her eyes shifted away from his face, but instead glanced at the gaping hole in his clothes.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Hinata abruptly looked away. It seemed a bit shameless, but... the cicadas were chirping louder than ever, masking the girl's annoyance.

Naruto didn't know when he woke up. He opened his eyes and looked up, and saw the slightly raised hill and Hinata's face.

They lowered their heads and stared at each other for a moment.

Hinata blinked in confusion, startled, and subconsciously tried to stand up, but was instantly pulled down by Naruto. If Hyuga Hiashi was present at this moment, both of them would be in trouble.

She was so excited that she broke out in a sweat. Her face turned visibly red, and her neck quickly became as red as strawberry ice cream.

Naruto couldn't help himself and poked Hinata's face with his finger.

"What...what happened?" Hinata was a little panicked, afraid that she had been discovered for looking at something she shouldn't have.

"I didn't sleep well," he said.

"Ah? Then...what should I do? Sleep a little longer?" She believed it and wanted to get up, but her legs were numb.

"It's not easy to sleep leaning against it."

Upon hearing this, Hinata suddenly became confused and was silent for a long time before she spoke in a gentle voice.

"Then let's change... let's change seats. The chair is too short."

"I can't sleep." Naruto said this deliberately, pretending to be unhappy.

"Don't...don't be upset. There's...a lawn over there." Hinata tugged at his clothes and said pleadingly, "Can we go over there?"

"No, unless... unless you let me kiss you."

"I...I..." Hinata dodged subconsciously until she saw Naruto stopped moving, then she pursed her lips and stopped dodging.

Naruto pinched her cheeks with a soft touch, then stood up and left contentedly.

Chapter 333 Do you prefer Hinata or me? Ino's death question

Naruto turned his head and looked at Ino who had a cautious smile on her face, as if she was holding something precious.

Suddenly, my heart stagnated, and the blood in my veins seemed to stop flowing. I felt a little blocked in my heart. I really didn't envy Shikamaru, but seeing Ino like this...

Shaking his head, he cleared all his messy thoughts and regained his clarity.

He tried his best to remove the Nine-Tailed Fox, guided Jiraiya to beat up the rebellious disciples, and refused to become the savior. This was all to escape the fate of the original owner and end up with a be ending.

Anyone can settle down, and once he settles down, he will just wait to accept the judgment of fate. The butterfly flaps its wings, and the direction of the future has long been blurred.

He is not used to making too many promises before he is absolutely sure.

"It's okay, I'm not envious." He said to himself, "I just find it strange, how did Shikamaru suddenly become so smart?"

"What do you mean by enlightenment? It was you who was running around outside and forgot about time." Ino was a little speechless, counting on her fingers and said, "It's been six years since the Chunin Exam."

"oh oh."

"You!!" Ino was furious at Naruto's perfunctory attitude. Not satisfied with twisting the soft flesh on his waist, she also stepped on it with force.

"Don't hide! Otherwise I'll tell my mother that you bullied me!"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Naruto felt a little guilty. Some things are clear to the bystanders while those involved are confused.

If the Yamanaka couple really heard it, they would probably believe it. After all, Hinata was so obvious and there was no explanation. When she was young, she didn't need to pay too much attention to it.

But now that he is an adult, if he continues to be as unscrupulous as before, the Yamanaka couple probably won't let Ino and him continue to act recklessly.

"Humph! So what!" Ino said proudly, showing her silver teeth, thinking that this person took it seriously after just a scare. It was still the same as before, nothing had changed.

As the night wind blew, the two of them went downstairs together.

"Ino, have you finished the thing you were researching?"

"Almost, what's wrong?"

The footsteps of the two people sounded staggered on the wooden stairs. Ino turned her head and glanced at him before continuing.

"You want to help me?"

"I'm not very good at this, so I can't help you much." Naruto said honestly, "But if you have any technical difficulties, I can help you ask professionals."

When it comes to chakra communication, Nagato is still the best. He has even developed video shadow communication.

"Where are these professionals? What do they do?"

"Listen to what you're saying. I said I'm a professional, so why are you asking me what I do?"

"Oh, a communicator?" Ino was a little confused. There were indeed people like that in the ninja world, but she had no way of getting in touch with them.

There are even fewer people who do chakra communication, and it is often a state secret.

"I guess so. We happen to have some acquaintance with the leader of the small ninja village."

He coughed and thought to himself, who would have thought that Nagato, a thug who runs a private armed force, is not only good at carrying rice, but also has a knack for using the ninja world's cutting-edge technology.

"You lied to me again!" Ino was a little indignant. He had just said that the other person was a professional.

Which small ninja village leader did these things? These days, there are no small ninja villages that can exist under the noses of the five major ninja villages. You can count them on one hand, probably the ninja villages in the Rain Country or the Grass Country.

"Why would I lie to you? It's not like I'm really free."

"No! I don't believe it."

The two left the hot and bustling crowd, and the hustle and bustle faded away. They walked along the main road of Konoha Street, which they had walked countless times, towards the Yamanaka Flower Shop.

Naruto is not without impulse. If he is using deception, I believe that no matter how smart Ino is, she will fall into his trap. People are irrational in front of the person they like. When they are overwhelmed, their IQ will drop.

But seeing Ino smiling with her hands behind her back, he smiled too, slowly suppressing his restlessness.

Some people stand on the top of a mountain to admire the scenery, while others are the scenery itself. It's not just her appearance, but Ino's warm and open spirit that is truly beautiful.

"Actually, I don't envy Shikamaru. He's in such a hurry." Ino suddenly turned around and said, her brows furrowed. "It's like he's hiding from something. It's boring."

Only when they were alone did Ino speak out what was in her heart.

"Shikamaru is a very smart person, and it can be seen that he also likes that..." Naruto was suddenly stuck when he said the name of Shikamaru's other half. He hesitated for a long time as if he couldn't remember it.

It wasn't until he turned his gaze to Ino that Ino rolled her eyes at him and said angrily.

"Yuzi, you are such a fool. We just had dinner together, but you can't even remember her name."

Even though she said that, Ino still had a happy look on her face. Girls seemed to like this, and those who liked her weren't interested in other pretty girls.

It would be best if you have no impression of it at all, and forget it the next second after you come into contact with it.

But you can't act too deliberately or too frequently. It's okay to pretend in private, but it's not appropriate when other people are around, as it can easily give people the excuse of being disrespectful.

"Oh, anyway, this is Shikamaru's choice. He must have his own plans." Naruto looked at Ino and continued, "Some people like adventure, some people like leisure. Each has its own beauty."

"Each has its own charm? Then... what do you like?" Ino asked subconsciously.

"I like you."

Ino suddenly looked up at him with a complicated look and asked.

"Do you like me or Hinata more?"

"Ahem!!" Naruto almost couldn't breathe, thinking to himself what kind of leap of faith was this, "Of course I like you more! Why would I hesitate?"

"Tsk, you must have said the same thing in front of Hinata." Ino rolled her eyes at him, "Anyway, you only know how to lie to me, huh, huh, if you make me unhappy, I will..."

"........Tell your mother?" Naruto asked, rubbing his nose helplessly.

"And tell my father!"

"Do you have to be so shameless?" Naruto really couldn't see through Ino now. The girl's mind was like the sea, deep and blue.

"You were the one who cheated first, you know it yourself." Ino turned around, put her hands on her hips and glared at Naruto, "Do you think I don't know that you want both of them!"

Hearing this, Naruto was shocked and thought to himself, was he being so obvious?

"Impossible! Someone is slandering me! Absolutely impossible!"

He denied it three times in a row. He would never admit to such a thing, even if he was beaten to death. It was even more important than his browsing history before his death. As long as he kept his mouth shut, he would be innocent.

"Hinata and I are very good friends. Didn't we grow up together?" Naruto explained emotionally, playing the emotional card.

"Well... okay, you're telling the truth?" Ino asked, "So do you like Hinata?"

"I like it as a friend." He pretended to be confused even though he knew the truth.

"I'm not talking about a friendship. I'm talking from the perspective of a lover. Do you have that kind of liking for Hinata? And about me?" Ino asked directly.

She gritted her teeth and dumped all the questions in her mind. She knew that guy's character, he always liked to beat around the bush.

If I don't ask him now, if he suddenly disappears again, I don't know when I'll have the chance again. This guy... is really hateful.

"Hinata is actually very good. If you consider her as a lover, I definitely like her." Naruto said honestly, "But I like her, but I have no plans to get married or have children yet, Ino-chan."

"Who are you calling Ino-chan?" She exploded and started chasing him out of habit.

After chasing back and forth for a while, Ino was exhausted and declared a truce, panting. Sitting on a stone bench by the roadside, she gradually came to her senses.

"What if it was me?" she asked.

"What do you mean?" Naruto sat beside her, sprawled out in a rather awkward position. He looked up at the streetlight obscured by the green leaves, then suddenly turned to look at Ino.

"If... according to the standards of a lover, wouldn't you want to marry me and have children now?" Ino asked with a red face.

"You're different," he said.

"Why is it different?" Ino seemed to be stimulated by the news of Shikamaru's marriage today, and asked in detail.

"Well..." He lay back down on the stone chair again. He had the kind of figure that looked thin when dressed but muscular when undressed. He looked very thin when he looked up.

The light from the street lamp shone in her pupils, and her face was unhurried. Her loose white short-sleeves were tilted halfway, revealing half of her collarbone.

Ino looked at the incredibly handsome bastard and instinctively felt that if he dressed up, he would be quite good at fighting. At least his height of 1.80 meters was an advantage, and he looked different wherever he stood.

Konoha is a large ninja village, covering a large area and with a large population. There are a lot of good-looking people, and there are all kinds of handsome guys.

But she always felt that if everyone just stood next to that person, something would be missing.

"If you want, let's get married now, before that bastard Shikamaru does." Naruto said, his tone still lazy.

"Anyway, I'm quite happy about it. I got a wife for free."

"Hmph! You wish! Who would want to marry you?" Ino was as arrogant as ever. "I have things to do. I don't have time to play house with you."

"That's a pity, I can only..." Before Naruto could finish his words, Ino pinched him.

"Ah! What happened again?"

"No!"

"What's not allowed?" he asked knowingly.

"Anyway, you're not allowed to say anything! You're not allowed to say anything more!" Ino said, "You're not allowed to say anything more. You definitely don't have anything good to say. That's it!"

That's it? Naruto smiled. Ino was worried. Maybe one day the communicator would be successful... But then, the situation might be completely different.
