In Konoha, Naruto lies down

The situation now was that the elders of both families had already noticed Naruto's intentions, and their impression of him had taken a sharp turn for the worse. Hinata and Ino also realized it later, and then the two women fell silent.

This is much more tragic than the Shura Field, with two large and small Shura Fields superimposed on each other.

The sun is shining brightly outside the window. Perhaps because autumn is approaching, the originally lush green trees are no longer dense.

Hinata's shadow slanted across the antique, dark wooden door behind her. Her long, softly tied hair was infinitely gentle, and just standing there, she was as warm as a painting.

"Did you have breakfast this morning? Or did you sleep until morning and didn't have time to eat before coming here?" She asked with a hint of blame.

"I ate it, really." Naruto smiled and handed over the tea.

The more Hinata acted like this, the more guilty he felt. At the same time, he also knew that Hinata was just like that. She might have cried before, but she would always put herself first.

"Yeah." She nodded and took the teacup.

Naruto had anticipated this. Whether it was Hinata's gentleness or her current silence, he had thought about it all and even thought of a corresponding plan.

Perhaps he inadvertently stimulated his talent as a scumbag. His IQ is usually at the same level as Choji, but when faced with such things, his brain works as well as Shikamaru's.

In broad daylight, he didn't come up to explain directly. Instead, he sat opposite Hinata with a cup of tea, looking at her with a smile, just like before.

"Why are you...looking at me?" Hinata's cheeks turned slightly red and she turned her head away.

The effect was immediate, which gave him confidence. Naruto didn't pour himself some tea, but glanced at Hinata, wondering how much she knew about him and Ino.

"Because I'm sorry for you, but I haven't seen you these days and I feel a little anxious. I thought you would never see me again." He said carefully.

Hearing this, Hinata lowered her head and fell silent. This was a sign of dissatisfaction with him, either because she didn't believe his nonsense, or because she was dissatisfied or it was far from enough.

The teacup in her hand was smoking, and her hand holding the cup was covered in sweat.

"I'm thirsty," he said suddenly.

Hinata stood up and was about to pour him some water, but she froze when she stood up. She looked around and found that there was no cup on the table. The only cup in the room might be the one in her hand.

Naruto stared at the cup of tea in Hinata's hand and licked his lips, the meaning was self-evident. Hinata pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and walked over.

Even though I know that the other person is doing it on purpose, I don't want to see him thirsty.

"Drink mine," Hinata whispered.

"Okay." Naruto smiled, took the opportunity to lean over, and asked with a grin, "Can you stretch it out a little?"

So Hinata leaned forward a little more, and Naruto took the opportunity to hug Hinata in his arms without any intention of drinking tea.

Hinata didn't react before she was already being held. She struggled a little, but found she couldn't get free.

"Please... not here, this is... the office."

Hearing this, Naruto was stunned for a while. Although he knew that Hinata didn't mean that, why did it sound so much like...

He couldn't help but be stunned. Was his image in Hinata's mind so vulgar? Of course, he knew that this was an office, someone else's office, and he had no intention of doing anything that would cross the line.

"Um, Hinata, you misunderstood, ahem."

Hinata was silent, leaning on Naruto's shoulder without saying a word, with thoughts hidden in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Hinata." Naruto didn't care about anything else and apologized first.

"I know I've let you down. Ino and I have actually maintained a very good relationship over the years. You also know that Ino helped me a lot when I was most helpless."

"You know, for some reason, we didn't spend much time together. But I'll look for you whenever I have the chance. I also want us to be together without any worries."

"When you're sick, I worry about you and try my best to see you. When you come back from your mission, I can't wait to fly to you."

"But many times, we have no choice. The gate of the Hyuga clan is not so easy to enter."

"Fortunately, Hinata's condition is getting better and better now. We will have more time to spend together in the future."

"Hinata, it was my fault before. I'm sorry. My actions hurt your heart. I promise to be good to you in the future, okay? In the future, we will get married, have one or two children, and find a secluded place to live in seclusion."

In short, first apologize, then make up some details about your relationship with Ino. Of course, the other party must know that you and Ino are not ordinary people. So at this time, you should first explain your difficulties and gain the other party's sympathy.

He skipped over the details and finally emphasized that he and Hinata had been in love for so many years, playing the emotional card.

Finally, he promised to spend more time with her, but he didn't say that he wouldn't spend time with Ino. He did want to live in seclusion, but he didn't say that he would live in seclusion with Hinata alone.

Moral bottom lines can be flexible and changeable, and one cannot be too sure about what one says, as there is always room for improvement in the future.

"Really...really?"

Hinata was held in his arms, listening to what he said, she couldn't help but think of the past days, and tears immediately came down.

The Hyuga clan was a ninja noble family, a wealthy and powerful one, and it was indeed difficult for Naruto to get in. The Hyuga clan members basically...seldom had close friends other than those within their own clan.

She used to envy Ino because her family would not object to her doing what she likes and being brave enough to like someone she likes.

But being born into the Hyuga clan means being born with shackles on your back, and even who you can like is limited.

"Really, I promise." Naruto hugged Hinata and patted her back.

I vaguely felt that the clothes on my shoulders were a little wet, and the person in my arms was trembling. I couldn't help but move away a little, looked at her, bent down and kissed her.

Everything went smoothly until Hinata's face turned red before they separated. Hinata looked at him infatuatedly, smiled, and then suddenly frowned.

"What's wrong?" Naruto noticed Hinata's abnormality and asked softly.

"My father knows what happened between us and also knows about Ino, so... father has some misunderstandings about you." Hinata hesitated, biting her lower lip.

"Do you want me to explain it to him?" she asked.

"No, no!" Naruto shook his head repeatedly. What a joke! Hinata Hiashi had disliked him for a long time. There was no reason for him to get beaten.

"why?"

"Because the matter is too complicated, and only you, Hinata, who is involved and knows the inside story, will believe me." Naruto explained.

"But your father won't believe these words, and neither will anyone else. Telling them will only deepen misunderstandings. What if your father objects to you marrying me in the future? Then won't I end up living alone?"

"No." Hinata smiled, "But Naruto, what you said makes sense. Let's talk about it later, then?"

"Well, even if the whole world doesn't believe me, as long as you believe in me, Hinata, I don't care what others think." Naruto said affectionately.

Chapter 452: Jiraiya: Unlucky, I fell into the trap again

The two of them spent some time together, and Hinata's worries were mostly gone. When Neji came in at noon, he found that the guy had said something that made Hinata laugh.

He couldn't help but sigh that reality was even more absurd than movies, and this could still be coaxed back.

"Ahem." Neji stood at the door, looking at the perfect couple in the hall, "Well...it's getting late, let's eat first."

"Ah!" Hinata let go of Naruto awkwardly, her face slightly red.

Naruto, however, looked calm and composed, not at all embarrassed to be on someone else's territory. He nodded in agreement, then asked again.

"Ningji, where did you go just now? Why did you go for so long?"

Neji: “…”

I thought to myself, this guy is really shameless. He asked Hinata to come here just to deal with tedious documents. Now that Hinata is by your side, someone has to carry the burden.

"I'm going to deal with the documents. It's not too troublesome." Neji smiled gently, emphasizing the word "trouble".

Naruto ignored him, as if he didn't understand anything, and walked forward to pat Neji on the shoulder.

"That's it for now, let's eat first."

Neji: “…”

Faced with Naruto's perfunctory rogue attitude, Neji was too lazy to bother with this bitch. He clearly knew what Naruto was busy with, but he had to ask a question in a mean way.

At noon, the three of them had a simple meal, nothing too fancy. During this time, Hinata and Neji both looked at Naruto, but the difference was that Hinata's eyes were sweet.

Neji's face was calm, but he showed a look of great resentment, glancing at Naruto from time to time. In his opinion, although Naruto was growing very quickly, he basically matched or even surpassed the growth trajectory of Konoha's geniuses throughout the ages.

For example, the Fourth Hokage, and the Three Ninjas of Konoha. However, the substantial increase in strength did not make him mature, but instead made him like a...

After dinner, Naruto and Hinata stayed for a while longer, sitting on the shady steps in the backyard, chatting quietly. Their ears rubbed together, and they laughed and talked under the green shade.

In front of us is a bamboo forest swaying gently in the wind, and a gentle breeze is blowing.

The two were so close that Naruto could smell the refreshing fragrance emanating from Hinata lingering in the air, and he couldn't help but feel a little distracted.

Fortunately, he has a strong psychological quality and knows that now is not the time to think too much.

Hinata glanced at Naruto secretly, and a faint blush suddenly appeared on her ears. She touched her hair unnaturally and asked nervously.

"What...what are you sniffing?"

The slight shaking made the light fragrance even stronger, Naruto asked curiously.

"Aren't you wearing perfume?"

"without......"

"Really? Let me see..."

.........

The next day.

Naruto opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling in his bedroom, feeling a little annoyed. He had coaxed Hinata all day yesterday, and the effect was noticeably good.

But the brief experience of nurturing each other's ears also made him toss and turn in the middle of the night and unable to sleep. He kept thinking about the scene of his first connection with Hinata, and his heart felt like it was blocked by a ball of fire.

He sat up dejectedly, almost instinctively adjusting the position of the ferocious little Naruto, and walked into the living room to drink water. Anyway, Hinata was appeased.

Now he had to think about how to appease Ino and also deal with Ino's parents at once. If he did that, he wouldn't be able to do it on his own.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but frown. He always relied on Sasuke to turn danger into safety. Now he had become dependent on him. When he encountered a problem, he would subconsciously think about why Sasuke, the timely rain, didn't appear.

The sound of wind chimes echoed from the balcony. Mao Yue Xi Yan stood outside the French window, opened a crack, and looked at him expressionlessly. Two seconds later, she spoke.

"Hokage-sama is looking for you."

Before he could respond, Mao Yue Xi Yan hurriedly made a gesture to leave.

Naruto: “….”

He didn't know how he had offended Mao Yue Xi Yan, or whether it was because her period had come. Her attitude in recent days had been neither warm nor cold, and it was really annoying to see her.

"Hey, wait!" Naruto reached out and grabbed the French window, "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean?" Mao Yue Xi Yan turned around.

"Do I owe you money?" he asked.

"No." Mao Yue Xi Yan still had that cold face and shook her head.

"You keep looking at me like that all day long. I wonder if you think I owe you money?" Naruto didn't tolerate her and slammed the glass window shut fiercely, then pulled the curtains.

On the balcony, Mao Yue Xi Yan looked at the closed French window, somewhat speechless. She had done nothing, but she had been troubled by something these past few days.

However, she could also tell that Naruto seemed just as irritated as she was. Taking a deep breath, Uzuki Yugao suppressed her anger.

An hour later, Naruto finished washing up and slowly walked out.

Konoha is a village with a very slow pace of life. Apart from the center of the village, there are almost no tall buildings, and there are green trees and green shades everywhere.

Unassuming alleys are everywhere, with small stalls set up in front of breakfast shops. At the entrance of the alley, lush green trees grow intricately, casting large patches of green shade on the ground at noon.

The branches of the green tree were so thick that two or three people couldn't even hug them. At the end of the green tree was the more prosperous Konoha Street, with a stronger atmosphere of fireworks.

There are snack shops, barber shops, and all kinds of daily necessities stores. At the end of the road, a white-haired old man stands there, looking up at something.

Naruto was stunned for a long moment, making sure he wasn't seeing things. He walked over quickly, and the man's appearance became clearer and clearer. It was indeed Jiraiya.

His long white hair was like needles, and he was wearing a red coat and wooden clogs. His style was flamboyant and exaggerated, giving him the appearance of a bad-tempered uncle.

"Hey! Naruto, long time no see!"

"Um...lecherous sage, when...did you come back?" Naruto was a little confused, but then his mind suddenly became active and an idea flashed in his mind.

"I just got back a while ago and was just about to ask Kakashi to find you." Jiraiya laughed heartily, "I didn't expect you to show up on your own. That's good, it saves us the trouble."

"I went out because Kakashi was looking for me." Naruto suddenly thought of something and his face looked a little strange. He thought that the lecherous sage should not know what had happened to him recently.

"What do you want from me, lecherous immortal?" he asked.

"This is a long story. You go find Kakashi first. I'll wait for you at the izakaya on Konoha Street." Jiraiya waved his hand, unaware of the dangers of the world.

Hearing this, Naruto smiled and spoke.

"Okay, I'll come back to find you. I have something to ask you."

"Go ahead." Jiraiya didn't doubt him and smiled happily.
