In Konoha, Naruto lies down

"Let's go get something to eat together. There should still be some snacks at those food stalls." Naruto suggested.

Ino hesitated for a while. She was really a little hungry, but...

"There's a girdle around the belly."

"Untie it." Naruto said simply.

"Are you stupid?" Ino suddenly blushed and glared at him, "If you unbutton it... your clothes will fall off completely."

"Nothing underneath?"

"Of course I'm dressed properly!" Ino suddenly covered her chest, "...you'd better not have any more bad fantasies in your head!"

"My mind went blank."

"You can't leave it blank! Damn it!" Ino was a little crazy. She felt it was extremely difficult to deal with the person in front of her.

......

"Come here!" Ino finally compromised and said to Naruto.

"What happened?" Naruto noticed that the two had moved away from the road, using several trees as cover. Even if someone passed by, they would not be able to see their figures at all.

"The belt is too tight, help me... help me unbutton that button." Ino's head was completely turned away, her face flushed and her eyes misty, as if she was doing something extraordinary.

"My mother used to help me untie it, but I couldn't open it with my backhand."

"Okay." Naruto was also a little moved and threw the Nine-Tails directly to the ground, "My hands are a little dirty."

"It's okay... I... I have to change tonight anyway." Ino's voice was a little trembling, leaving Naruto with her back, "Anyway, please... hurry up."

"Ah."

He reached out and put his hand on Ino's waist. Ino was very nervous, almost shaking all over. Naruto made up his mind and put his hand into the belt of his formal suit.

After groping around inside for a while, Ino remained patient and didn't make a sound. Finally, she heard a metallic knock and the innermost belt loosened.

"Huh~!" Ino looked like she was saved.

But suddenly he found that there was no sound around him, and he turned his head sharply. Naruto was staring at his own hands back and forth.

"Don't act like you're reminiscing, you pervert!!" Ino walked forward and grabbed the inside of Naruto's arm.

"Ah! It hurts!" Naruto clamped Ino's hand directly on the left side of his ribs.

"Let go!"

"Unless you forgive me."

"Okay." Ino gritted her teeth.

Naruto let go, but was still pinched hard. Ino looked like she had won, with a sly look in her eyes.

"I know what you're thinking," she said.

"Then please marry me immediately."

"Ah! What are you talking about!" Ino said with disdain, taking five or six steps back. "That sounds disgusting."

"It hurts my heart."

"Hehe, don't be discouraged. Maybe in the future there will be an idiot who wants to marry you." Ino, wearing a small-patterned yukata, put her hands behind her back, leaned forward slightly, and smiled very proudly.

Chapter 129 One Person's Fireworks

At that moment, Ino's face brightened up, and Naruto really had the urge to marry her right there and then. Fortunately, reality poured a bucket of cold water on him in time.

"Your expression right now is disgusting."

"Well... let's go. I'm hungry too, let's go get something to eat together."

Naruto didn't mind the dirtiness and picked up the Nine-Tailed Fox from the ground again. The moment the Nine-Tailed Fox bared its teeth, he skillfully gave it a big fight.

"Who wants to go with you?" Ino walked in front and looked back to see if Naruto was following.

"What's the problem with going together? Sitting together and eating won't make you pregnant." Naruto added, "Holding hands will."

"Don't say such weird things!" Ino turned around and glared at him angrily. Taking advantage of this pause, Naruto calmly caught up with her, and they changed from walking one in front and one behind to walking side by side.

The fireworks display was over, and the sparse fireworks over Hokage Rock had stopped.

They hadn't reached the bright light yet. The surrounding light was dim, and the two could only see the outline of each other's profile. They didn't say anything else. The surroundings were so quiet that only the rustling of grass could be heard.

"I don't plan to wash my hands these days." He suddenly said this, breaking the silence.

"Please die quickly!" Ino seemed to be immune to Naruto's words and replied perfunctorily, "Don't say such perverted words. Didn't you touch Hinata's hand?"

"I've touched Ino's too, so can I share my personal thoughts?"

"No, tell me and I'll kill you."

After Ino finished speaking, she suddenly felt her hand wrapped in warmth. Naruto's hand was as hot as a stove, and he grabbed her hand without any warning.

"What are you doing!" Ino tensed up.

"It's easy to get lost at night." Naruto said nonchalantly, his arms touching her skin. The faint fragrance emanating from Ino's body made him feel a little itchy.

"Who would get lost in a place like this?" Ino waved her hands gently, trying to break free, but to no avail.

"Let go." She said with some shame and anger.

"Don't let go until we get to the light," Naruto said.

Ino didn't think about it too much, and looked at the light not far ahead, her mouth slightly pursed. She didn't react for a moment, but after a moment's consideration, she agreed.

He said that he would wait until the light was released, which seemed like a step back, but in fact he had put forward another condition.

"Then stop pinching me!" Ino was a little angry, "I'm angry."

"Then I won't pinch you anymore." Naruto became obedient instantly.

The distance wasn't long, and the two of them didn't say anything more as they slowly walked towards the light. Their shadows stretched out in the light, cuddling together.

Ino looked at the shadow on the ground with a complicated expression. Naruto had stopped walking, but he didn't completely let go of Ino's hand. He just held it loosely, but he could still feel the warmth of her palm.

"Do you want to let go?" Naruto asked, looking sideways at Ino.

The latter met his gaze with a complicated expression, hesitated for a moment, and muttered in a low voice.

"up to you."

A triumphant smile flashed across Naruto's face, and he grabbed Ino's hand and led her forward.

"Let's go get something to eat first."

"Oh."

Ino seemed to be completely indifferent and let him hold her hand as she walked into the crowd. The feeling was completely different from the last time they held hands on the streets of Konoha in the middle of the night.

There were almost no people on Konoha Street at midnight, but there were still many people gathered in the food street specially set up for the fireworks display and strolling around. Even though the fireworks display was over, it was still lively.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ino was completely passively dragged through the crowd. She unconsciously felt nervous, yet also a little excited.

The lights are flowing, the streets are full of yukatas, and the bright lights in front of each stall seem to penetrate into the heart.

Her head felt a little dizzy, and she felt like there were so many people and spots of light everywhere. Her palms felt warm, and the warmth flowed down her arms into her heart and ventricles, circulating throughout her body.

"This is delicious." Naruto pulled Ino to line up in front of a small stall, holding the Nine-Tails in his other hand, and turned to her and said, "Ino, hold this dog for a while."

"Huh?" Ino was stunned for a moment.

"I can't afford to pay."

"Just let go." Ino said.

"Absolutely impossible."

The Nine-Tails didn't let her hug it, and Naruto was too busy to give it a loving education, so in the end, Ino paid the money.

“That, that!! There are a lot of people queuing over there too.”

So Ino paid again.

After several rounds of back and forth, Ino paid + n. Even though Ino was not short of money, it was impossible to carry a lot of money when going out in a yukata, and soon the money was all gone.

Fortunately, both of them were full, and Jiuwei also got a few bites of food, and immediately calmed down. In the sealed space, Jiuwei had no interest in food at all, but it was different now that it had a physical body.

Konoha is not a food desert. At least for the Nine-Tails, every bite is a new experience.

"It seems to be full." Ino looked curiously at the Nine-Tailed Fox in Naruto's arms.

"You fed it too much. Its belly is already bloated." Naruto complained, "But you can try to touch it now."

"It's so fierce."

"No matter how fierce it is, it should have some brains. You are the one who feeds it." Naruto said to Ino, "I don't think it will bite you. Give it a try."

Sure enough, when Ino reached out her hand, the Nine-Tailed Fox didn't react. It just pretended to be dead and even barked in a very spineless way.

Naruto was speechless about this scumbag fox, and looked at it with contempt in his eyes.

This is treating Ino like a rich woman, but that's fine, next time I'll just cheat her out of her own money. It's the reward I get for pleasing Ino. Anyway, this fox isn't very smart, so I'll just keep cheating.

"The fur is so soft." Ino exclaimed, and she mustered up the courage to touch Kyuubi's head. "It's so obedient. Is it because I fed it?"

No, it's treating you like a free food source, Naruto mentally complained.

......

"I should go back." Ino reluctantly turned her eyes away from the Nine-Tailed Fox.

"Let's go somewhere else before we go back." Naruto suddenly said and handed the Nine-Tailed Fox to Ino.

"Where are you going?" Ino took the Nine-Tailed Fox in her arms and looked up at him in confusion.

"It's nearby, just follow me and you'll find out."

Naruto said this as he pulled Ino away from the brightly lit food street and headed towards the more secluded southeast from the fork in Konoha Street.

After walking past rows of old and abandoned houses and along an old road, the two finally stopped at a secluded and irrelevant hillside.

Ino didn't know what he was going to do, but Naruto loosened his hand and said, "Wait here for me." Then he glared at the Nine-Tails as if warning and ran towards an abandoned house.

When he ran back, he was holding a bunch of fireworks that were taller than him.

"You're..." Ino was stunned. "The fireworks show is over, right? You'll get scolded if you act recklessly."

"This wasn't originally intended for the fireworks display." Naruto put down a large pile of fireworks and lined them up on the ground, saying without even looking up, "The fireworks display has nothing to do with me."

These were all bought by Naruto when he was shopping for supplies before the collapse of Konoha. Later, he never found a chance to deal with them, so he just threw them into the sealed space.

"My birthday and the fireworks show collided. I wouldn't be able to celebrate my birthday if I attended the fireworks show."

"That being said, it's not a bad thing."

Ino felt a little nervous. She probably guessed what Naruto was going to do, and her cheeks suddenly began to feel slightly hot.

Naruto took out a candle from his arms, his palm slightly reddened, and lit it directly.

"Take it."

The faint candlelight was passed to Ino. On this remote and dark hillside, the candle was like a firefly. Ino's face flushed, and she pursed her lips, hesitant to take it.

"It's too late." Ino turned her head away and wrung her hands. "It will cause trouble."

"That's two different things. I hope you have a special birthday with a few fireworks set off just for you," he said.

"Besides, if you run faster, you'll be fine. If you really can't run, you can just abandon the dog. It will come back on its own anyway."

Kyuubi: "???"

Chapter 130 Can the Nine-Tailed Fox Do a Backflip?

"......I understand." Ino was completely confused. Her face flushed and her body stiffened as she walked towards the fireworks.

Naruto stood by and watched, with the Nine-Tailed Fox squatting at his feet. The man and the fox squinted their eyes on the dark hillside, waiting to watch the fireworks.

Suddenly, Ino, who was holding the candle, stopped and turned to walk towards Naruto.

"What's wrong?" Naruto asked with a bit of amusement, "You are indeed very pleasing to the eye in this yukata, but you are not afraid to order it, right?"

He guessed that it was inconvenient for Ino to wear a yukata, but in fact it was really beautiful, so he just praised it.

Ino didn't reply, blinking a few times, her face flushed in the candlelight. She pursed her lips slightly, tilted her head in the other direction, and held out her hand.
