In Konoha, Naruto lies down

The moon was high above the treetops, and they returned to the small apartment, the curtains blocking out the dim light. His blood was like a lit coal, and the atmosphere was explosive.

The two of them kissed little by little, from the sofa to the TV cabinet, kissing carefully and closely. There was nothing romantic about it, just kissing out of instinct, and slowly their hearts settled down.

The night is long and they can only hug each other to keep warm.

The next day.

Anko found another lame excuse for not going to work. This time she was really tired and slept at home all day. When she woke up, Naruto had already left.

She was stunned for a moment, then turned over and continued to sleep.

Life has many choices, she knew her ninja path was blocked. She knew her life had no light, but with his light, she could see the starry sky and the beautiful world again.

Chapter 371: After get off work, Ino saw his frankness and the details of the slag

"How can it be so easy for a ninja to get married?" Kakashi raised his head from the pile of documents, staring at the yellow-haired man in front of him with a single dead fish eye outside his mask.

"Don't you think the life of a ninja is too simple, Naruto?"

"Aren't Asuma and Hong married too?" Naruto simply found a place to sit down. He came to Kakashi to do something, to transfer Hongdou's job.

Anyway, it's something that can be done easily. Oh, easily refers to Kakashi and Tsunade. As for Naruto, he has no real power and his words carry no weight.

Although I didn't get to share in the Fourth Hokage's legacy, I did inherit his connections. Being able to see the Hokage without any hindrance made some things quite convenient.

With a snap, Kakashi lazily stamped the Fifth Hokage's private seal on Red Bean's application form. Having been drafted by Tsunade, he had no motivation at all.

"Asuma? How can that be the same?" Kakashi stared at his foolish disciple and said, "They have basically retreated and no longer accept missions."

"Being a ninja is a high-risk profession. You could die on a mission at any time. If you've experienced war like I have, and lost family and friends one after another, you'll understand."

Kakashi pressed Anko's application form off the table with his fingers and handed it to Naruto, speaking seriously.

"Happiness and stability are both fleeting, like flowers in a mirror or the moon in water. Just look at them from afar. When you really want to reach out and possess them, you will become unhappy."

Naruto left the Hokage's office, thinking back to what Kakashi had said. He suddenly understood the situation of their generation, and also understood what Red Bean meant by "it's fine just like this."

After finishing his work, he put away the application form and planned to give it to her sometime tomorrow.

Walking alone on the streets of Konoha, Naruto suddenly realized that many things he had done recently had become easy. He no longer needed to use his brain, he could just use his connections.

After thinking about it, I remembered that I hadn't seen Ino in the past few days. After thinking for a moment, I prepared to go to the Intelligence Department to visit her.

But when he arrived, he found nothing. Someone told him that Ino had left an hour ago and was probably laying a signal tower behind the Hokage Rock.

Helpless, Naruto could only search for it all the way. He wandered around the street for a while, and finally, with his hands full of her food, he slowly hurried over there.

When they arrived at the scene, Ino was too busy to pay any attention to him. He was not in a hurry either, so he sat down and waited.

He wasn't worried about the project encountering difficulties. After all, the funds were already in place, and there was no problem that couldn't be solved with funds. If there was, he would just add more money.

"It's impossible to pave over there..." Ino bit her pencil and felt a little overwhelmed looking at the blueprint. Her golden hair fluttered in the wind under the sunlight, like golden rain.

Now a classic saying emerged in her mind: Talent is the most valuable in this world.

The staff had already withdrawn, each reporting on the difficulties encountered during the installation process. Konoha was circular, and the most efficient method for laying signal towers was a regular hexagon.

Ino was stunned for a moment. She wasn't omnipotent either. Fortunately, her clever little brain knew what omnipotence meant, so she told her men to be patient.

"Add more money, find more people, and allocate funds now!"

Practice has proven that the pay increase method is effective. Seeing their boss being so generous, the subordinates were immediately inspired and their enthusiasm for work was instantly ignited.

She was busy all afternoon, and only realized she was hungry long after lunch. Just as she was about to go back, a young girl who had just joined the Intelligence Department from the Ninja Academy stopped her and reminded her.

"Mister Ino, over there...it seems they've been waiting for you for several hours."

"Wait for me?" Ino turned around and saw Naruto sitting in the simple shed made of sticks.

Behind him stood a giant tree, its canopy thick and lush, like an open umbrella. Its branches were thick and strong, towering into the clouds.

Ino trotted over and hugged him, burying her head in his neck and taking a deep breath.

"How did you come?"

"I missed you and came to see you." Naruto picked her up and lifted Ino high, making her laugh all the time. She said she was itchy and asked him to let her go.

Ino's waist has always been very thin. No matter how much she eats, she never gets fat. Her waist is thin and bony. It is a special feeling when playing with it. As for how to play with it, I can't explain it clearly.

"But I don't have much time today." Her voice was weak.

"Let's wait for next time. I just came to check on you. Have you eaten?" Naruto put her down and revealed the food behind him.

"No, you're so nice." Ino hugged him tightly and giggled.

"Stop it, the food is getting cold." Naruto pulled the octopus-like Ino down, carried her horizontally and carried her directly into the makeshift shed.

"It doesn't matter if it's cold, these are all my favorites." Ino pursed her lips, took two bites and fed them to Naruto, "Just tell me next time you come, there's no need to wait like this."

"It's okay, don't worry about it, just focus on your work." Naruto said, "There will always be time to spare. Remember to train your staff, and you won't be so tired in the future."

"Okay!" Ino clung to Naruto, tilted her head back and kissed him again, her eyes curved into crescents, "You're so good to me."

"Of course." Naruto said this without much confidence. He spent all his family wealth just to get the communicator project off the ground early so that Ino could be busy.

But in fact, Ino really wants the communicator project to be implemented. This is her dream and the career she has been working on for the past few years.

Zha Ming’s move this time can only be said to be going with the flow.

But putting aside all his scumbag behavior, he wanted to see Ino realize her ideals, find her own value in life, shine, and be proud forever.

To like a flower is not to cut it and put it in your room for admiration, but to find the most suitable soil and see it bloom in the wind. Ino is Ino, not a vassal of anyone.

The two of them ate most of their meal with cold food, feeling the mountain breeze blowing back through the Konoha Forest. Ino was resting when she caught a glimpse of Naruto sitting calmly on a bench, his long legs stretched out.

He supported himself with one hand, probably to maintain balance, and with the other hand he played with his own hand, pinching and kneading it repeatedly.

Ino suddenly thought of certain scenes and her face turned hot.

"Stop it."

"What's wrong with me?" He looked at Ino with an innocent smile, "I haven't seen you for a few days. Can't we even hold hands?"

"I didn't say you can't hold hands. You...why can't you just be honest?" Ino said this without much confidence. She looked up and glanced at him.

At that moment, their eyes intertwined in an indescribable way. Ino felt as if someone had placed a small piece of charcoal between them, and the atmosphere suddenly became heated.

They were both at an age where they were already enjoying the pleasures of life, so it was natural for them to be affectionate after not seeing each other for a few days. But Naruto was just hanging around, just watching with a smile, secretly teasing her.

"Why am I not honest?" He stared at Ino, thinking about what happened that day, and a hint of possessiveness inevitably appeared in his eyes.

Ino suddenly remembered that this man was indeed a bit restless, and she didn't know what was going on in his head. He actually asked her to wear stockings, insisting that they looked good.

Humph, I won’t wear it.

She resisted instinctively and glared back fiercely.

The maid outfit was a lifelong shame for her. One day, she would knock his head off and make him forget about it. Otherwise, if it was brought up later, it would be a huge disgrace.

"Anyway, you're just not being honest. I...I'm leaving." Ino stood up hurriedly.

"Where are you going?"

"I...I'm going back. I have work to do in the afternoon." Ino lifted her hair to hide her panic. She had no doubt that Naruto, the lustful devil, could do something ridiculous.

"When do you get off work tonight?" he asked, still not letting her go.

"It's... too late at night, I have to go home." Ino explained, secretly glancing at him. His sharp and straightforward eyes made her legs go weak.

He swallowed lightly, his thoughts suddenly becoming confused. His heart pounded twice, unable to control it.

"It's eight o'clock, you probably won't be able to make it. I...I don't know where I'll finish work tonight. You don't have to come, it's too much trouble."

He would go out even if a knife fell from the sky, even without a hammer. At this time, you have to listen to the opposite of what you say. Whoever believes it is a fool.

"I can just accompany you there in the evening. I'll come over when you're about to get off work in the afternoon." Naruto made plans for today in a few words.

"Let's have a simple meal together, and then I'll accompany you to work. That'll be fine."

"Ah? That's too much trouble, isn't it?"

Yes, it is indeed troublesome. But there is no rainbow without wind and rain. If you don’t take some trouble, you won’t be too happy when you eat the cake.

People are like this, the harder it is to get something, the more precious it becomes.

Ino had to be home before eleven o'clock, and even if she got off work on time, she only had three hours. Three hours was too short, and the journey would take time.

hateful!

"I don't mind the trouble. I miss you at home anyway, so I might as well stay with you." He said frankly, clearly speaking sweet words.

Ino turned to look at him and saw his bright eyes, like a watery moon. Her heart skipped a beat and she felt touched.

To be honest, she was still a little worried after that incident. Both Shikamaru and Chouji's wife had complained to Ino about the same thing after they got married.

My man became lazy after getting it. When playing poker, he often didn't even bother to move his three of a kind, and would just pick up the jokers.

The two took turns complaining, and Ino blushed until her ears. Married women were indeed wild. They looked gentle, but in private, when they were with their sisters, they spoke lewd words.

She had been worried, but now... that worry was slowly being dispelled. She was filled with joy, even if she wouldn't show it.

In terms of honesty, she is indeed not as good as Naruto. He never hides his feelings. When he thinks about something, he just says it, and he wants to stuff all his thoughts into your hands.

Ino is arrogant and sometimes can't help blushing. She clearly misses someone but pretends not to. When she is exposed, she blushes again, which is even cute.

"Okay, whatever you want." Ino shook her ponytail and stopped looking at him.

Naruto found it amusing and rubbed her hand. He thought that it was for tonight and it would be a loss if he didn't charge her some interest now. So he pulled her over and picked her up.

"Ah! You... wuwu."

They kissed each other intensively until Ino herself got into the mood. They separated, looked at each other, and then tacitly hugged each other and continued kissing.

The communicator project was successfully implemented, and the funding was in place. From the technical development to the construction, it didn't take long, mainly because the money was in place.

After all, who can resist cash? As long as the work is done quickly, they'll pay you. It's incredibly friendly. With the power of money, even the American comic book superheroes who wander in have to come and move a few bricks before leaving.

After making an appointment with Ino in the afternoon, Naruto returned to the Hokage Building with nothing to do. He didn't know when Tsunade would take action, as he already had a witness.

He was only involved in the overthrow of Danzo. Tsunade was in charge of the overall situation, hiding in Shizune's office all day, waiting to ambush Danzo.

They are all thousand-year-old foxes, and each one is more patient than the other.

As for Naruto, he knew his limitations. Professionals do professional things, and he was good at playing dirty. But something like this, on the surface, wasn't something his rogue tactics could handle.

He lacks the qualifications and the means. The so-called "one call, a hundred responses" only exists in dreams.

But he didn't care about those empty titles. Tsunade was the fifth generation, Kakashi was the sixth. What else was he striving for? Working himself to death to get the seventh generation?

By that time, who would still want to stay in Konoha?

He thought clearly, where to save and where to spend... Oh no, instead of wasting time on the village, it would be better to get something substantial as soon as possible, such as the system's reward.

Another example is resolving the issue between Hinata and Ino. He wants it all, but the problem is that the father-in-law of the two families will never agree.

This was an almost unsolvable problem. There was no way to have both, unless one's influence rivaled that of the First Generation. The problem was, he had no interest in engaging in power struggles.

If both Hyuga and Yamanaka were small families, there might be some hope. But unfortunately... Besides, he didn't want to use such despicable means and hurt the two girls' hearts.

He does have a ruthless streak in his character, but he treats Hinata and Ino specially. In his heart, one of them is his white moonlight and the other is his cinnabar mole.

It would be good to have both, but even if he couldn't have both, he would minimize the impact of the situation and at least protect the two of them from being affected.

Thinking of this, I suddenly feel that I have a long way to go.

Naruto walked into the Hokage Building with ease and paused at the door of Shizune's office. He quietly peeked inside and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Tsunade wasn't there.

"Naruto?" Tenten stood up from her seat and asked curiously, "Why are you here? Are you looking for Lady Tsunade? She just went out."

"Shh!" Naruto was startled, "I know she went out. I saw her from a distance."

"What about you...?" Tiantian looked him up and down. "You haven't done anything shameful again, have you?"

Chapter 372: Ino's Thoughts, Anxiety and Confusion Are Comforted

"What are you talking about?" Naruto was a little speechless, looking at Tiantian, "Can't I just do something serious? Does it have to be something shameful?"

"Business? What business?" Tiantian tilted his head. "Looking for me?"

"Yes, I want to ask you for help with something..." He nodded, but before he could finish his words, Tiantian sat back in his chair with a "wow".

"You..." Naruto was stunned, not knowing what Tenten was doing.

"You're treating me like a tool again!" Tenten cried on the table, unwilling to pay attention to Naruto. "Last time, Lady Tsunade scolded me and said you were lying to me!"
