In Konoha, Naruto lies down

There was a small waterfall and pond not far from the campsite, and the four of them divided the work. Kiba and Naruto were in charge of setting up the tent, Hinata went to collect firewood, and Shino went to fetch water.

"Is that thing fixed? Damn it!" Inuzuka Kiba asked, looking up.

"Alright, alright, stop pushing me." Naruto said impatiently, "Akamaru can talk better than you!"

"You boy!"

The two of them argued for a while and quickly set up the tent. There was enough space inside to sleep four people.

Hinata came back from the forest holding a bunch of dead branches. There were many wild beasts in the forest, and ninjas would not use ninjutsu to deal with wild beasts unless necessary.

Fire is the best way to drive away wild beasts. If you are participating in a dangerous mission against the enemy, you may be afraid of making a fire.

However, this time the mission is to find micro-fragrant insects. The nature of the mission is to find things, and generally there will not be too much danger, so it is allowed to make a fire.

It happened that Shino also came back from exploring the surroundings at this time. He placed parasitic insects around for warning and completed the task of fetching water at the same time.

"It's time to light a fire and boil water," said Aburame Shino.

"Okay, I'll do it."

Inuzuka Kiba nimbly took out a fire-starting device from his arms. It was something similar to a lighter, which used a small amount of chakra as fuel to ignite.

It won't explode in fire or get damaged in rain, making it a must-have piece of ninja technology for home and travel. Its principle is to convert the ninja's chakra into fire-attribute chakra and then ignite it in small amounts.

Hinata and Shino were already sitting by the fire, taking out some dry food, preparing to have a quick meal and then go straight to sleep and rest.

"Naruto-kun, this is for you." Hinata blushed and took out a red fruit from her bag and handed it to Naruto. She thought Naruto didn't bring any food.

Shino and Kiba opened their schoolbags. The water in the pot had just boiled and there was no movement. Looking at Naruto standing motionless beside them, Shino spoke.

"If you don't bring any food, we can share it with you."

"Please, sir, I can share some with you." Inuzuka Kiba grinned smugly.

"No, I brought it." Naruto looked at the three people sitting skillfully by the fire, first reached out to take the fruit from Hinata, then pointed to the pond not far away and asked.

"Now that the fire is lit, why not go get some fish?"

"Fishing is troublesome and wastes my rest time," said Shino.

"The pond is very deep and it's difficult to get into the water. Even if you try hard, you won't be able to catch many fish." Inuzuka Kiba added.

"Woof!" Akamaru can't speak.

"Wait for me, I'll try." Naruto ran to the tent and pulled out a long fishing rod from his bag, which shocked Inuzuka Kiba.

"Why do you carry something like this in your bag?"

"Folding!" Naruto ran away with the pole. Nine-Tailed Fox took a look and trotted after him.

"He he he!!" Inuzuka Kiba looked at the direction where Naruto disappeared, then looked at Shino, "Shino and Hinata, why didn't you stop him?"

Aburame Shino looked at the dry food and said, "I want to eat fish, too."

Hinata didn't even bother roasting the rations, and whispered, "Naruto-kun is really good at fishing."

"Tsk, I don't believe it anyway!" Inuzuka Kiba muttered, but he unconsciously remembered what Naruto said during the last Chunin Exam, and he almost vomited from eating grilled fish.

After some hesitation, he simply put away the dry food.

Suddenly the atmosphere became a little awkward. The three of them watched the crackling fire in silence and listened to the water in the pot bubbling slowly. The scene was like SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick Star waiting for the magic conch.

"I'll go check it out." Inuzuka Kiba couldn't stand it anymore and stood up first. "I don't believe that guy is really that powerful. If he stays there like an idiot for a long time, I'll drag him back."

"I'm going too." Hinata stood up in a panic.

Before a few people talked, by the river.

"Little devil! Give me a bottle!" Nine-Tailed said persistently, "Don't be ungrateful!

"Don't even think about it. If I said it's night, it's night." Naruto kept catching fish, scaling and gutting them skillfully. "If you drink tonight, die somewhere far away, preferably right here."

"Parasitic bugs don't usually stay near water, so it would be even better if you could just soak it in the water and drink it."

"You're the dog!" Nine Tails spat, "If you soak it in water and drink it, I'll do a handstand and a backflip right away."

Naruto kept moving his hands and said contemptuously: "You said you would give me the whole job tonight. If you change your mind now, I will send you to be bred when I get back."

In a few minutes, Naruto was already walking back with a bucket of cleaned fish. The Nine-Tailed Fox's eyes were a little complicated, as if to say, "You're serious."

But facing the male dog's warning, Jiuwei didn't dare to say something like "I was just talking casually."

So, just as Inuzuka Kiba and Hinata stood up and took a few steps, Naruto bumped into them head-on.

"Where are you going?" he asked doubtfully.

It wasn't too late yet, and the sun was setting in the west, casting its rays upon the three of them. Not far away, Shino stood motionless, guarding the fire, staring through a pair of round sunglasses at the small metal bucket in Naruto's hand.

He clearly remembered that Naruto did not bring the small iron bucket before he left, but he had the small iron bucket when he came back. Did he really carry the space scroll with him?

However, he didn't care about that kind of thing. As a disciple of Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas, it was not strange for him to have a space scroll.

"Is it really a fish?" Inuzuka Kiba seemed a little excited, "You are quite impressive, kid."

Naruto smiled coquettishly and said, "Ninjutsu is my talent, but fishing is also my hobby!"

"By the way, my dog ​​can do backflips."

Chapter 132 Hinata is still awake

The aroma of grilled fish slowly and steadily spread. Naruto took out a few simple seasonings from his backpack and sprinkled them evenly on all the grilled fish.

The fire burned brightly and time passed in the blink of an eye.

The water source was a little way from the tent, so they all went to wash up. Aburame Shino was a Mushishi and had her own way with the water, Inuzuka Kiba liked to wash with the dog, and Hinata had to practice so she would wash up later.

Naruto walked a little further down the river, threw the Nine-Tailed Fox directly into the water, and threw a bottle of wine in with it. He stood on the shore with his hands folded and watched the fox drink.

under the moonlight.

"Are you serious?" Kyuubi emerged from the water, grinning.

"Drink it quickly, stop dilly-dallying." Naruto threw out several more bottles of wine and yawned, saying, "I'll take a shower nearby. Call me when you're ready."

Jiuwei didn't respond. Instead, he gathered the bottles on a rock, submerged himself in the water, and leaned against the rock to avoid the turbulent current. Under the moonlight, the waterfall looked like a silver river. Jiuwei held the bottles with his two claws and drank from them.

Not long after, Naruto carried the drunken Nine-Tailed Fox back to the tent after swimming it back and forth in the water several times, and threw it next to the extinguished fire to dry.

in the tent.

"Are you afraid of me? Why?" Naruto couldn't understand and frowned as he looked at Akamaru and Aburame Shino who were hiding far away.

"The bug is uneasy." Shino said, staring at the drunken Kyuubi in the corner.

"Naruto, what on earth did you pick up?" Inuzuka Kiba held Akamaru in his arms helplessly, "Akamaru is shaking with fear now."

"What? Just an ordinary foxhound." Under the bright yellow tent light, Naruto gently kicked the Nine-Tails, which was completely asleep. "Look at it, it has become like this. How scary can it be?"

"Anyway, wait for Hinata to come back, and then ask her if she's willing to sleep next to you." Shino said with his hands in his pockets, "It's hard to overcome the fear of biological instincts in a short period of time."

Akamaru curled up in Inuzuka Kiba's arms, holding on tightly with his claws, looking like he was unwilling to let go.

Footsteps were heard outside the tent, and Hinata opened the tent and walked in. She usually gave herself extra training to improve her strength.

"Ah, Hinata is back just in time." Inuzuka Kiba walked over and pointed to the spot next to Naruto and said, "Hinata, you should sleep next to that guy."

"Ah!" Hinata's mental preparation collapsed instantly, her face instantly covered with a layer of crimson, her whole body trembling, her voice weak, "Okay."

Inuzuka Kiba was stunned for a moment and didn't hear clearly, and seemed to realize the ambiguity in his words. When he was about to explain, Shino spoke.

"Both Mushi and Akamaru are afraid of the foxhound that Naruto raised, so I'll have to ask you to sleep there, Hinata."

Everyone had their own sleeping bags, and the tent was spacious, so generally speaking, it didn't matter where they slept. But even if the Nine-Tailed Fox was drunk, its oppressive power over the lower-ranking animals was still strong.

Hinata was so shy that she couldn't speak. Naruto had already put on his nightgown and squinted his eyes at the three people who were talking in a low voice, then raised his voice and spoke.

"Actually, I could just throw this thing out and pick it up in the morning. It won't notice."

As soon as the words fell, the tent became quiet instantly. Shino, Kiba, and Hinata all focused their eyes on Kyuubi who was lying in the corner of the tent.

The drunken Kyuubi, unaware of his fate, turned over and fell into a deep sleep.

"Absolutely not!" Dog lover Kiba Inuzuka reacted violently, scolding, "It's your friend after all! How can you treat an adopted dog like this!"

Shino didn't say anything, but nodded slightly in agreement with Inuzuka Kiba's point of view.

There is a Mushishi and a trainer in Team 8. Both families have been dealing with animals for generations, so they naturally cherish their pets more than ordinary people.

"Okay...ok." Naruto sneered. Thanks to the two of them, the scumbag Nine-Tails avoided the fate of being thrown out.

"But, Hinata will be shy." He pointed at Hinata suddenly and said, "After all... It's different from the partners who train with me all day. This is my first time with you."

"You bastard! Don't say such disgusting things!" Inuzuka Kiba was disgusted and threatened, "If you dare to do anything to Hinata, I will beat you up."

"Huh? Did you just speak? Your prenatal-education-level language is completely incomprehensible."

"you!"

Looking at the two people who were arguing, Shino took a step forward and said to Hinata.

"Hinata, can you?"

"I..." Hinata blushed deeply, lowering her eyes. She had already said it once but no one heard her. To say it again...

"It's okay, if it's really embarrassing, I can sleep in that position." Shino said without any emotion.

"...But the parasites won't be able to handle it, right?"

"Indeed, just sleeping in a tent makes the bugs feel uneasy." Shino said truthfully.

"If that's the case, I...I can do it." Hinata's eyes drooped even deeper, and her voice became smaller and smaller. "I can't cause trouble for everyone."

Shino didn't say anything, not knowing what to say for a moment. The Hinata family motto of not causing trouble for others was deeply rooted in everyone's heart, so he could only nod.

The tent gradually became quiet, and the four people slept in a row in their sleeping bags.

Naruto was sleeping on the far left, next to Hinata, then Kiba. He held the shivering Akamaru in his arms, and on the very edge was Aburame Shino.

It seemed that parasites were more sensitive than dogs, so the parasite inside Shino was extremely uneasy. The culprit, Kyuubi, was fast asleep in the left corner of the tent.

In the middle of the night, Hinata, who was too nervous to sleep, opened her eyes and gasped for breath. She felt the left side of her face burning, as if it was being roasted on a fire.

For no reason, I thought of the campfire, the grilled fish, and the embarrassing thing that happened the day before yesterday.

I was actually caught by Ino and her mother. Although I was so nervous at that time that I didn't notice it, I was still so embarrassed that I couldn't sleep all night after I got home and got into bed.

Thinking about that feeling now, hmm...

Hinata blushed again.

She subconsciously shook her head violently, trying to calm herself down. At that moment, Hinata suddenly saw out of the corner of her eye that Naruto had opened his eyes and seemed to have been looking at her.

Naruto was half asleep. When he opened his eyes, he saw Hinata wandering around and just stared at her for a while.

Hinata's body suddenly stiffened, and she tilted her head to look at Naruto. A feeling of bitterness she had never felt before surged into her heart, as if her whole body softened.

Her heart was pounding, and the dim environment made her feel ashamed and nervous, as if she was about to burst into heat.

Although Naruto didn't say anything and just looked at her, Hinata seemed to have heard his voice echoing in her ears.

"This is also part of the training."

That kind of thing... Hinata's mind was in a mess and her face was so hot that she almost fainted.

Chapter 133 I want to try what it feels like to be relied on

The light in the tent was too dim to see clearly. Naruto could only see a rough outline of Hinata and could feel that she seemed a little uneasy at the moment.

Hinata was already making self-conquest plans in her mind, all of which were stories like "I can't hold hands with you secretly behind my friend's back", and she was so shy that she was about to explode.

Just as she was feeling confused and uneasy, she heard a rustling sound and a hand was placed on her forehead, gently touching it twice as if to comfort her.

"Well....."

Hinata, whose shoulders were shaking slightly, suddenly became quiet, with mist in her eyes.

The next day, it was still dark.

Hinata opened her eyes and saw that Naruto's bed was empty. Her eyes were blank for a moment and then she suddenly came back to her senses. It seemed that she had fainted last night...

She shrank her body, carefully holding her increasingly red face, as if to hide her little self.

The mist in the forest had not yet dissipated, and the group set out on their journey again.
