In Konoha, Naruto lies down

"It's normal to have wars. I wouldn't be surprised even if someone reached the Valley of the End. But what's strange is why Kakashi couldn't block the news?" he muttered.

Suddenly, Ino realized the crux of the problem and turned around to look at Naruto.

"You mean... there's a spy in the village?"

"Most likely. Kakashi has probably already asked the Anbu to investigate." Naruto said, "Anyway, the village is not very safe. I will not leave the village until the situation is completely stable."

"You don't have to worry too much. My father will stay in the village for a while."

"The Intelligence Department is quite far from the flower shop, so there will always be times when they can't take care of it," he said tactfully. "Besides, the war is intense, and the Intelligence Department also has to go to the front lines."

In fact, he could have just put in some effort to deal with it, but why bother? If the village only had some White Zetsu, then he would have a reason to accompany Ino.

He has to be there for at least ten days or half a month, and then... everything will be resolved naturally. He can't let anyone take advantage of him before he leaves the village.

"Let's talk about the wedding later. The war is imminent and there is no suitable time now." Ino folded her hands, standing only two palm widths away from him, with a serious expression on her face.

"That's not something we can decide. We have to ask your parents first." He waved his hand, unquestionable, "Ask your father first and see how he wants to beat me."

"Likely! My father won't do anything!" Ino was amused. Perhaps she thought of the scene of Yamanaka Inoichi taking action, or perhaps she took the opportunity to be alone to release some pressure.

When war meets marriage, there are often more concerns. Naruto knows some of the things that will happen in the future, even if they are not accurate, at least he has a rough idea in his mind.

But for Ino, this was her first time facing war. Unfortunately, she was pregnant at this time, and she had concerns in her heart, so she couldn't do many things.

The emotions of motherhood are complex, like a girl's life being torn away from her in an instant. Even if I try not to think about it, all sorts of emotions keep coming back.

Fortunately, ninjas have very good physical conditions. For most female ninjas, giving birth is easier than for ordinary people. Recovery is also faster, and the probability of leaving sequelae is very low.

But it was pregnancy, after all, not filming a movie. Spring turned to winter, and then a few scenes, and the baby was born. It was a very long time, so long that a single night could be split into seven or eight segments.

Shaking all the thoughts out of her head, Ino looked at Naruto, and Naruto looked at her.

"Would you like to hear the baby's heartbeat?" she asked.

"Yes." Naruto agreed, squatted down and listened for a while, but found that he heard nothing.

He looked up and saw Ino covering her mouth with her hands, a smug smile on her face. Just like the girl who had the upper hand at the alley entrance six years ago, she tapped his forehead.

"It's been three months, how can there be a heartbeat, stupid!"

It seems that after becoming a mother, Ino has become more open-minded and tolerant. This is especially true in the context of the war.

.......

The lights flickered, but Naruto still carried his gifts upstairs and obediently endured a lecture. He kept his head down and acted like a grandson, thinking that he could get back at his grandson or granddaughter later.

Anyway, you are more close to your grandson than your own son, so be a strict father and beat your grandson (daughter) when he grows up.

Finally, Shan Zhonghai was tired after the training. He took a sip of tea but his face was still ashen.

"What are you going to do?"

"marry."

"Confused!"

"My father-in-law is right."

"What do you mean I said that! Also, don't call me father-in-law! Who is your father-in-law!" Shan Zhonghai was furious and wanted to slap this shameless man to death.

Unfortunately, the other party was too shameless and had already done something fait accompli.

"Yes, yes, father-in-law." Naruto still ignored it, but his attitude was still good.

Ino kicked him under the table, asking him to calm down. He then stood up and refilled Yamanaka Ino's tea, while Yamanaka Rino was still preparing snacks.

Life is like a deep, peaceful spring. No matter how turbulent the world around you is, as long as you don't make trouble, everything will be peaceful.

This is what Yamanaka Inoichi thought before his daughter met the scumbag. Even if he experienced some things when he was young, he would still live a routine life when he got older.

But he never expected that peace would be broken in the end, and that was by getting pregnant before marriage. He regretted and reflected on it, sometimes thinking that if he had cared more about Ino six or seven years ago, things might not have turned out this way.

I've been busy with work, but in the end, I haven't gained anything. What's even worse is that I don't really enjoy working. I'm just busy to the point of being paralyzed just to have something to do.

Because life was going so smoothly, with a virtuous wife, a sensible daughter, and a few old friends around him, it seemed that as long as he left work, his life would become stagnant.

By the time he realized something was wrong, things had already gotten serious.

Naruto's reputation in the village was not good, but it was limited to Konoha. He might have a bad reputation in the capital of the Land of Fire, but it was only a momentary thing.

In general, Naruto is still very disciplined, at least in the ninja circle. At his age, Jiraiya and his friends had already made a name for themselves as the three ninjas.

In other words, Naruto's behavior was arrogant and domineering, but only within Konoha. Outside, he made very little noise, not even a big splash.

If it was just Naruto's limited abilities, Yamanaka Inoichi wouldn't have thought highly of him. But he knew that Naruto's abilities were no less than those of the Sannin back then, and it was rare for a young man to act so calmly.

It's not that the father-in-law and son-in-law like each other more and more, but it's the conclusion that Yamanaka Inoichi came to after accepting reality and thinking carefully after calming down during this period.

At his age, he has a very clear understanding of some things. After all, there is nothing new under the sun, and some things do not need to be hidden.

The Three Ninjas' fame was indeed renowned throughout the ninja world, but it was also a shackle, serving the village with all their might before finally departing. A tree that stands out in the forest will inevitably be destroyed by the wind, and there were some truths he couldn't articulate.

After all, young people have their own youthful vigor, and one can't always say... In short, Yamanaka Inoichi is quite satisfied with Naruto's style of doing things. At least he knows how to be a tough guy in his own house and won't cause any trouble.

Besides, it would be more accurate to say that Naruto is working for Tsunade and Kakashi rather than for Konoha, and all the tasks are assigned to him directly by the Hokage.

In this way, Naruto does not seem to be so righteous as to sacrifice everything for the village without considering the consequences. Yamanaka Inoichi does not object to Naruto feeling a sense of belonging to the village, but he does not want him to become like the Fourth Hokage.

When he was young, he had seen all kinds of geniuses. The Uchiha clan had many evildoers, but in the end, they were all wiped out.

Everyone has their own selfish motives. Yamanaka Inoichi may have said it harshly, but in the end, he couldn't let his daughter become a widow. He didn't want Naruto to become a Jinchūriki and get himself killed in a fit of rage.

Yamanaka Haiyi thought a lot, but it was only for a moment when he raised the cup. When he put the cup down with a thud, his thoughts came to an abrupt halt.

"We're in the middle of war, and the situation in the village is still unclear. We can't rule out the possibility that enemies have infiltrated and spread the news. So, for safety reasons, we can't hold a wedding in the short term."

"Uncle is right." Naruto also changed his tone appropriately. No matter what Yamanaka Inoichi said, he followed it without thinking and was not afraid of being considered stupid.

Pleasing your parents-in-law is not something that can be done overnight. It is similar to falling in love. If confessing your love is just the clarion call to charge, then you are halfway lost.

If you don't behave well in normal times and just hope to show an image of being knowledgeable, humble and capable when you meet someone, that would be much harder than getting into Tsinghua University.

Anyway, whatever my father-in-law says is right, and that's it.

After Yamanaka Inoichi finished speaking, he seemed to feel that Naruto was getting too easy on him, and he frowned and thought for a while.

"We still have to hold the wedding. We'll find a suitable time to do it, preferably within the next two months. If the war can be calmed down, the sooner the better."

Yes, just one word, yes!

After coming out of the Yamanaka Flower Shop, Naruto walked a distance and looked back. Suddenly, he exhaled a breath and felt relaxed all over.

I originally thought that my father-in-law was very fierce, but who would have thought that he didn't even send out an invitation to Hinata Hiashi to come over. It seems that I still underestimated my father-in-law's vision.

The next day.

The village was still in a mess. Naruto slept until two in the afternoon as usual. When he got up groaningly and washed up, he found someone sitting in the living room.

"What a rare guest, Captain Mao Yue Xi Yan." He walked slowly towards the bathroom in his slippers without even looking at Mao Yue Xi Yan.

"I looked for you yesterday, but you weren't there." She answered directly without any unnecessary nonsense.

"I went to prepare the gifts yesterday. You know that with my ability comes great responsibility, and I've been under a lot of pressure to get married lately."

Naruto was bragging, leaving the door open, and talking to Uzuki Yugao while brushing his teeth and washing his face.

"Choosing a gift is a science. An expensive one is too abrupt, and a cheap one doesn't show your thoughtfulness. It has to be rare and valuable, and it has to be something the other person can't refuse."

"Something happened in the village." Mao Yue Xi Yan said calmly.

"That's a shame." Naruto didn't respond.

"There are a large number of White Zetsu hidden in the village. We have already screened them once yesterday, and they should be almost clean now." Uzuki Yugao is very smart, so she didn't mention anything about Hokage or the village at all.

She knew Naruto's temper very well, and said that these things were useless, and she should just put what she knew in front of him.

As for the result, he will decide it himself, or at least just mention it.

"The battle on the front lines of the five great nations was intense, and it took a huge price to repel the White Zetsu coalition. After the Five Kage Summit, they all decided to form a ninja coalition to fight."

"Here in Konoha, I think we'll be able to find all the White Zetsu and deal with them tomorrow."

Uzuki Yugao was still chattering about the situation in Konoha and reporting the latest news to Naruto, but she heard a muffled thud and the bathroom door was closed.

Then the sound of a shower was heard, and Uzuki Yugao simply shut up.

She wasn't someone who gave up easily, nor was she a pedantic person. Her mind was rapidly analyzing what benefits she could bring to Naruto and how she could help him.

This will make it easier to make your next request.

After Naruto came out of the shower and dried his hair, Uzuki Yugao spoke again.

"The village lacks main forces, and no one can hold up the situation on the main battlefield."

"That has nothing to do with me. I'm very busy right now. I'm more concerned about whether I can get through this situation safely than the war."

"I can help you. Anything I can do for you." Mao Yue Xi Yan said without hesitation, "As long as you can use me, I can help you in any way."

"War is such a dangerous thing, it's not a joke." Naruto meant to refuse.

Uzuki Yugao wasn't too frustrated. Her promise wasn't worth much in the first place, at least not worth Naruto going to the battlefield for. She hadn't held out any hope at all, because this promise was given for free.

It wasn't a deal, it was just a gamble. Because she knew from the beginning that Naruto might not care about Konoha, but he would definitely not care about the enemy approaching and threatening the safety of Ino and Hinata.

All she had to do was tell him the truth, explain the battle situation, and then make a promise. If it was a deal, her promise would be worthless.

But if it was a free gift, Mao Yue Xi Yan also knew that Zha Ming probably needed the help of her, a reliable colleague with whom she had been working for six or seven years.

Because his cold face is the best endorsement of trust, and it can be of great use to him at certain times.

Chapter 515: Scoring twice, this time it's Hinata

"I won't do it!"

The answer Naruto gave was completely different from what Uzuki Yugao had in mind. She was stunned for a moment, and it took her a long time to realize that he had refused.

"Why? The village..."

"What does the village have to do with me?" Naruto interrupted, "I don't want to get involved in these troubles right now. The ninja world has allied forces, so my absence won't be a big deal."

"I have more important things to do. Ino is pregnant and I have to stay here to ensure her safety."

"Anbu will..."

"I don't trust the Anbu. Don't even mention you coming in person. It's not that I don't trust you, but it's simply impossible." He spoke first, "The village needs an Anbu captain, not an ordinary mediocre Jonin."

Ordinary? Ordinary? Uzuki Yugao almost wanted to vomit blood.

"Do you know that your participation may change the course of the war?" She still did not give up and continued to persuade.

"You know, Ino is very important to me. If anything happens to her, I'll turn around and join the opposing camp." He paused and said, "It can also change the direction of the war."

Maoyue Xiyan: "......"

When it comes to talking, no matter how many Uzuki Yugao there are, they are no match for Naruto.

When she realized she couldn't reason with Naruto normally, she chose to be honest with him. She looked up at him and spoke sincerely.

"what do you want?"

"Ino and Hinata's safety."

"We will ensure that nothing goes wrong." She said hurriedly.

"besides......."

"besides?"

"I haven't thought about it for the time being, but I can't leave now. I have to stay in the village for a few days." Naruto also relaxed. He had to go to the front line sooner or later.

But the difference is that one goes passively, while the other goes after getting enough benefits.

Going to the battlefield is not a good thing. Even the most powerful people will be exhausted by the continuous fighting. The third generation of Kaminari died, Kinkaku and Ginkaku also died, and the second generation of Hokage also died on the battlefield.

No one is immune to death unless he cheats.

"You can ask, as long as you promise to contribute to the village." Mao Yue Xi Yan said.

"Yeah." Naruto didn't say much. He couldn't say that he didn't intend to put in too much effort, but he knew that Uzuki Yugao didn't hold much hope either.

Some things are better if everyone understands them in their hearts, there is no need to explain them too clearly.

Uzuki Yugao looked at Naruto deeply, then turned and left.

Colleagues were just former colleagues, and she knew this was probably the last time she would talk to Naruto like this. There would probably be no such opportunity in the future...
