In Konoha, Naruto lies down

"Don't talk nonsense. How could I possibly think of cheating you? We have been friends for many years. It's impossible!" Ino waved her hands repeatedly.

"I'm not saying you won't cheat me, but that one in your family...that's hard to say." Shikamaru's expression was firm.

Ino immediately understood what he meant and was somewhat speechless, but she couldn't find any reason to refute him. From her understanding of Naruto, he was indeed someone who would do such a thing.

Well, nothing to say, it’s all my choice.

"Come to think of it, why didn't Naruto come back with Lee Neiji and the others?" Shikamaru raised his teacup and took a sip, then suddenly asked.

"I don't know. Since Kakashi-sensei became Hokage, he rarely comes back." Ino sighed, her eyes becoming increasingly complicated.

"He never liked the village before, but now the situation in the village is stable. Once the Danzo issue was resolved and Lady Tsunade left, Naruto found an excuse and left."

Shikamaru frowned upon hearing this.

"It's not that Lady Tsunade dislikes the village, she just doesn't like staying in the present village. The village in their memories only exists in the past. They lost so many people they cared about in the Ninja World War. Staying in the village would only make them sadder."

He didn't mention Naruto, but Choji and Ino who were present knew it well.

Naruto doesn't like the village at all. After all the things he's been through, he's never said anything about protecting the village. He doesn't seem to have a good impression of the villagers, and only cares about his friends.

But after all, due to different living environments, not everyone can agree with Konoha's Will of Fire. Now Naruto simply hides away, just like Jiraiya, and doesn't return to the village unless necessary.

"He...he doesn't even have a house in Konoha, even though he's rich." Ino sighed. "When I asked him where he wanted to live before, he just tried to change the subject."

"Naruto...is he not planning to go back to the village?" Choji narrowed his small eyes as big as green beans, looking a little lonely.

"It's hard to say what will happen in the future." Shikamaru put down the teacup.

Hidden Mist, hotel corridor.

Mei Terumi stared at him for more than ten seconds, making Naruto sweat profusely and think he had been exposed. Just as he was debating whether to run away, she spoke.

"You're so good-looking, it's rare to see someone without a last name."

Hearing this, Naruto secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But he didn't try to make amends. After all, too much talk leads to mistakes, and Mei Terumi was no fool.

If you accidentally say something wrong or someone finds a loophole, you will end up losing more than you gain.

"Yeah." He nodded.

The two of them stopped eating, pulled their dining carts, closed the doors, and began to feast.

"Outrageous." Naruto complained silently in his mind while eating, "I didn't find Chojuro, but I ran into Terumi Mei. It would be great if she had the ninja sword in her hands."

But since he had already encountered her and had managed to get away with it, he didn't think much of it. Even if Mei Terumi saw through his disguise and brought people to arrest him, they wouldn't be able to do so.

Even before checking into the hotel, he had already set up a Flying Thunder God Kunai formation around him. It would be difficult for the Kirigakure gang to catch him, let alone catch him, even with physical skills alone.

After dinner, it was already dark.

He looked at the hazy night and decided not to go out tonight. After all, the Mizukage was right across from him. To be safe, he decided to take a shower and stay in this suite.

Coming out of the bathroom, Naruto wrapped himself in a towel and before he could dry himself, there was a knock on the door. He froze for a moment before grabbing his clothes and quickly putting them on.

No matter who's out there, I can't run naked. Even though I have Sasuke's face, but... yeah, what clothes should I wear?

send!

He cautiously opened the door, but didn't see the ambush he'd imagined. Instead, Mei Terumi looked like she'd just finished her shower and was looking at him with a smile.

"Can we talk?"

Gulp! Naruto saw the woman's slightly damp brown hair and the sincerity of her grand slam. For a moment, he couldn't figure out Mei Terumi's intentions and could only nod.

"Yes, please come in." He stepped aside to make way, his heart beating slightly.

"Thank you."

Mei Terumi had a soft waist. She glanced at him, smiled, and walked in. After entering, she looked around before sitting down on the sofa.

"Drink some water." Naruto adhered to the principle of keeping quiet so as not to go wrong, so he spoke less when facing Mei Zuimei.

"Okay." Mei Terumi picked up the water cup, pressed her right leg against her left leg in front of Naruto, and directly hooked his eyes over, which made him immediately frightened.

Mei Terumi's impressive talent made it difficult for Naruto to look directly at her. Worried about making a mistake, he simply lowered his head to look at the ground, which was fortunately free of reflective flooring.

From the moment you enter, every inch of the suite is covered in luxuriously soft carpets, so comfortable you could lie down on them. This is presumably to provide guests with a more intimate experience, allowing them to engage in conversation anytime, anywhere.

To be honest, the two of them sitting on the sofa, one on each side, did look a bit like some amateur show. The first three minutes were just pleasantries, drinking water and covering their mouths with their hands while laughing.

At this moment, Mei Terumi was staring at him tenderly. That look made Naruto's scalp tingle. If it was someone else, he might... But now it was Mei Terumi, and he didn't think she was a stupid woman.

It wasn't until Mei Terumi stood up and took a bottle of wine from the wine rack in the living room that Naruto believed that this woman didn't seem to notice that something was wrong with her.

"Well... I can't drink." Naruto waved his hand to refuse. God knows if there were drugs in it.

At this moment, he was extremely anxious, wanting to know what this woman, Mei Terumi, was thinking. What was her purpose? Damn it!

"It's okay, just drink a little." Mei Terumi held the bottle of wine and prepared to bend down and sit down.

As he stared into the abyss, the abyss was also looking at him. After coughing awkwardly for a second, Naruto looked away, his frown deepening.

"Just to be clear, I can only take a sip," he said.

"Okay." Mei Terumi agreed generously.

With a pop, she uncorked the wine cork with her bare hands, under Naruto's astonished gaze. Without further ado, she shook the bottle and poured some into her glass.

The blood-red wine sank to the bottom of the glass. Mei Terumi first sniffed it, then took a sip. After frowning slightly, she raised the glass again and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing this, the last bit of worry in Naruto's heart disappeared. Watching Mei Terumi pouring wine for him, he felt a little strange, an indescribable discomfort.

Could it be that... this person had taken a fancy to Sasuke's face? This was too ridiculous. This... was impossible, absolutely impossible. He absolutely did not believe it.

"cheers."

The two clinked their glasses, and Naruto took advantage of this moment to observe Mei Terumi for a moment. Her eyes were wandering, her body relaxed, and she seemed to have no other purpose.

Putting down the wine glass, Naruto looked at Mei Terumi and said.

"you are?"

"Don't you know me?" she asked back. "From the first moment you saw me, there was surprise in your eyes, but not unfamiliarity."

"Yes, Lady Terumi Mei." Naruto admitted directly, "You are a very beautiful woman. Of course I have seen you before."

"Since we know each other, there's no need to be so polite when speaking." said Mei Terumi.

"Okay." Naruto responded, but still complained in his heart, can't you be more cautious?

"Have a drink?" She raised her glass.

The two clinked their glasses again. Mei Terumi stared at Naruto, her mouth resting on the glass, her neck slowly rolling. They drank the glass of red wine bit by bit, chatting casually.

Mei Terumi also wondered if this person was the intruder she was looking for. With a woman's intuition, she subconsciously felt that something was wrong with this person.

This face was too good-looking. It was impossible for such a good-looking person to appear in the Hidden Mist Village without her knowing about it. So she was taking a gamble and waiting patiently.

Patience is an essential quality for a good hunter.

Soon, the red wine was gone. Naruto was about to get up and make an excuse to go back to his room, but unexpectedly, Mei Terumi was faster than him and stood up and walked towards the wine cabinet.

"Drink a little more, it's only one bottle." She said with crisp footsteps, leaving Naruto with her back.

Drink? What the hell? If you drink any more, you'll even see the color of your underwear. Still drinking? Only a fool would drink. Just keep it for yourself and drink it slowly. I'm leaving now.

"Um... I can't handle the alcohol." Naruto covered his head, pretending to be dizzy. "I can't drink anymore. I have to go back to my room to rest."

"You're not drunk, stop pretending." Mei Terumi's smile deepened, and she came over grabbing the bottle of wine.

She was now almost certain that the intruder was the person in front of her. Was he about to be exposed? Was he almost impatient? Haha, he wanted to leave? Wishful thinking.

Seeing that his trick was discovered, Naruto smirked and felt a little embarrassed.

Mei Terumi sat down, holding the bottle of wine and looking at him with a smug smile, raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile.

"More?"

"Well, drink some more." Naruto had nothing else to say.

As time passed, Naruto felt increasingly uneasy. Mei Terumi asked more and more questions. Her purpose became increasingly clear: this woman was doubting him.

Just when Naruto was about to show his hand, a loud explosion suddenly came from the Hidden Mist Village outside the window. The effect was undoubtedly like a bolt from the blue in the middle of the night.

"What's wrong?" he asked, looking up.

Mei Terumi said nothing, but quickly stood up and walked to the window. In the darkness of the night, an explosion and fire broke out in the Hidden Mist Village. Suddenly, many noises and a chaotic commotion arose outside.

With a rustling sound, she walked towards the balcony, opened the window and walked directly in. Coincidentally, a Kirigakure ANBU passed by in front and was caught by Mei Terumi for questioning.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"Lord Mizukage, the invader from this afternoon has appeared again! And there is more than one!" The Kirigakure Anbu recounted the incident in a concise manner.

It turned out that Qing was getting angrier and angrier after he returned home. After get off work, he took a few people to continue searching the village. However, he unexpectedly found the intruders, and there were multiple of them.

Hearing this, Terumi Mei nodded with a serious face and let the Kirigakure Anbu ninja leave.

Back in the suite, she looked at Naruto lying on the sofa with a confused look on her face. She wasn't sure if he had lost his disdain for her, or if it was just a diversionary tactic.

For a moment, Mei Terumi was unsure.

Naruto sat there drinking with a calm expression on his face, but he was panicking inside. Fortunately, some heroes came out to disrupt the situation, which was really a timely rain for the ninja world!

Naruto turned to look at Mei Terumi and was about to stand up, but was stopped.

"Lady Terumi Mei, something's happened in the village, don't you want to go check it out?"

"It's just a small matter. The Anbu can handle it." Terumi Mei also smiled, making people unpredictable. "Come on, let's continue drinking."

Keep drinking? Naruto was a little surprised, but he didn't show it. He thought to himself, "Keep drinking, then. A ninja's strength isn't directly proportional to his alcohol tolerance. I'll drink tonight, you little idiot."

Chapter 435 Sasuke: There is a traitor in the team. I can rule out the possibility. Could it be that I am the traitor?

"Sasuke! How come those Kirigakure people seemed to have known we were going to enter the village?" Karin asked as she ran, turning back, "Where's Suigetsu?"

"I'm here!"

A white-haired figure jumped down from a great height, running for his life. It was Shuiyue who had just been staying behind to block the pursuers.

"I was so scared, I was almost surrounded!"

"There are too many people! Let's get out of here!" While Sasuke was moving quickly, he was also calmly observing his surroundings, looking for the key exit to break out.

"Is it really that serious? There are only four of us, we just came in to take a look!" Shuiyue ran while complaining furiously, "As soon as we came in, a group of people chased us, as if they knew about it in advance."

"Could it be... there is a traitor among us!" Xianglin gasped, but still did not dare to stop.

Dark shadows appeared endlessly around them, surging from all directions to surround them. It wasn't that they couldn't defeat them, but if they were slow, they would be entangled.

Their purpose was not to compete with the Hidden Mist Village, they just happened to be passing by and stopped by to take a look. The four people's target was the wild Three-Tailed Fox, which was not in the village.

But who could have imagined that he would fall into someone's trap right after entering. This speed is too outrageous. Was he exposed from the very beginning?

Hearing what Karin said, Sasuke couldn't help but feel a little puzzled.

He thought to himself that none of the four would betray Team Hawk. Juugo was loyal to him, and Karin had special feelings for him, so there was no reason for him to betray her.

As for Suigetsu, he was the one who usually led the charge in the team, so there was no reason for him to attack him. After eliminating all possibilities, Sasuke was confused.

Could it be...that I am the traitor?

Fortunately, the confusion was short-lived. Relying on their agile movements and Karin's excellent perception, they forcibly found a passage in the mist-hidden maze-like road.

The Hidden Mist Village was in chaos. Inside the luxurious suite, Naruto was chatting and laughing with Mei Terumi in front of Sasuke's face. At least that was the case on the surface, but in reality, the two of them were suspicious of each other.

Bottle after bottle of red wine was consumed, and the two of them struggled to hold back. Finally, Mei Terumi couldn't stand it anymore and leaned over to go to the bathroom. When the door clicked shut, Naruto's face changed drastically.

"I'm dying of holding it!" He quickly ran into the room opposite, Mei Terumi, and started flushing the toilet.

While Mei Terumi was still there, Naruto slipped back into the room, took out some stronger liquor, and poured a bottle of it on the table.

Mei Terumi came out of the bathroom and was stunned for a moment when she saw the wine on the table. She looked out the window and saw that it was much quieter outside.

Is it over? They still managed to escape.

She didn't know all that, and the only thing she could grasp now was the man in front of her, figuring out if there was anything wrong with him. Intuitively, Mei Terumi felt that something was wrong with him.

Naruto, on the other hand, was being watched by Mei Terumi and couldn't get away, so he just stayed there. They both looked at the wine on the table at the same time, different thoughts forming in their minds.

"Lady Terumi Mei, what happened outside?" Naruto asked calmly.

"Nothing, just a little mess." Mei Terumi smiled as brightly as a flower, her plump red lips almost pressed into a line as she looked at him and said.

"It seems that the trouble has been resolved?" he asked.
