Chapter 229: Naruto who is "honest and trustworthy".
For Yakshamaru, who didn't know anything about the terrible flag he had set for himself more than a year ago, Naruto's words suddenly came out of nowhere, which naturally made his attention and thinking direction, all focused on things related to Sand Hidden Village, and he felt puzzled. Immediately after realizing that the target of debt collection that Naruto was talking about was obviously not anyone in the Sand Hidden Village, he was immediately urged by the innate desire of human beings to seek [eight] knowledge [hexagram] desire [hexagram] [zhi] and [soul], like a thousand kittens scratching their hearts, full of itching and unbearable curiosity.
"What...... Original...... I see...... You're in a hurry to collect your debts......"
But when Yakshamaru couldn't suppress the urge of curiosity in his heart and was about to open his mouth to ask Naruto directly, he instinctively swallowed the words that surged up to his throat back into his stomach before a strong desire to survive and a sense of crisis suddenly arose in his heart. Immediately, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he smiled slightly embarrassed, and at the same time, he changed his words abruptly.
"That'...... Then I won't bother with your arrangements, Naru...... Naruto-kun, haha...... Wish...... Wishing you a smooth journey ahead. β
There was no other reason than when Yakshamaru turned his head sideways and refocused his gaze on Naruto's face. Seeing the strange light in Naruto's eyes, the smile that was revealed was the opposite of the gentle and friendly temperament that had gradually become the common sense in Yakshamaru's heart, a treacherous and playful smile like a demon. So much so that even Yakshamaru knew clearly in his heart that Naruto's goal of debt collection had nothing to do with the Sand Hidden Village or himself. But in the trembling of fear in his heart for no reason, he decisively chose to trust his instincts and didn't ask Naruto too much.
In addition, when he saw Naruto talking about "debt collection", he was able to show such a "kind" smile that was so hot and sad. Let Yashamaru subconsciously determine that Naruto's debt collection target must have a blood feud with Naruto. For some reason, there was an inexplicable sympathy in his heart, and then he couldn't help but pray quietly for Naruto's debt collection target, whom he had never met and didn't even know his name. And at the same time, he made up his mind that after separating from Naruto, he immediately rushed to the Kazekage office building again.
The reason for this is not only to tell my brother-in-law the good news of my Airo's change, but also to be ready to convince my brother-in-law that he must not easily provoke the young man in front of him whose strength and background are not deep and shallow, and his emotions are easily moody, so that he does not play cards according to the routine, and it is difficult to guess what he thinks in his heart.
"Ahββ! Finally found you! Brother Narutoββ! β
And just as Naruto and Yashamaru were talking briefly, he found Naruto's figure in the distance, and after he shoved the full shopping bag in his hand directly into the sad-faced water stop beside him, he shouted excitedly, opened his arms, and rushed straight into Naruto's arms.
"Hey, hey! I'm back! β
Naruto was thinking about how he could make Jiraiya be more straightforward and honest after finding Tsunade, and then let Jiraiya try to show his heart directly to Tsunade again, so that he could see the appearance of the Lustful Immortal Meteor with his own eyes...... Uh, ahem, no...... It should be said that it is so that the two people who have already secretly had feelings in the passage of time, but no one is willing to pierce the layer of window paper, can successfully face their hearts and spend the rest of their lives together. After hearing the soft and immature children's voice in my ears, I couldn't help but think for a while. Immediately, his consciousness gradually returned to his body, and he turned around with his arms open, ready to meet Xianglin pounced into his arms and coquettishly at the same time, in the unbelievable gaze of Yakshamaru, it was like changing his face, and the treacherous smile that had been left behind was enough to make people tremble and frightened in an instant.
"Naruto, this guy looks gentle and polite, and easy to get along with...... But in essence, it's still quite a dangerous character...... Sure enough, the tailed beast Chakra will imperceptibly erode and affect the character of the human pillar force, no matter who it is, there is absolutely no way to avoid it...... However, come to think of it, a one-tailed crane can already make my Lord Airo become so brutal and violent, not to mention the nine-tailed demon fox, which is the strongest of the nine tailed beasts? β
Secretly whispered and complained, if it wasn't for seeing it with your own eyes, and it left a deep psychological shadow in your heart...... It is estimated that even as a witness, it is hard to believe that the sunny young man in front of him, who showed a gentle and doting smile, was a strange and dangerous person with a smile that can be called a devil in the last second.
Of course, first of all, he was immersed in how to calculate and [delineate] to help Jiraiya, and make the lifelong event that the older generation had delayed so far come true. In the arrival and call of Xianglian, he was attracted to the situation. Naruto obviously didn't notice how deep Yashamaru's misunderstanding of him was because of his own inadvertent and mischievous nature that he had inadvertently exposed. And because of this misunderstanding, it affected the intersection and development of the relationship between Konoha Village and Shayin Village in the future. So much so that under the deliberate guidance of the four generations of Kazekage, it gradually tended to be stable and friendly...... In a sense, it can be regarded as an unexpected joy when the trip to Shayin Village is coming to an end. It's just that he has to grieve the Nine Lamas, who obviously haven't done anything, to carry this black cauldron for Naruto.
"Oh doββ! Slow down, silly girl...... Running so fast, you're not afraid of falling? β
Unaware of the gaze that Yakshamaru was looking at him, he became more and more strange at the same time. Naruto bent his legs in order to lower his height, and leaned over to stretch his arms a little, carefully picking up the frizzy little guy in front of him and hugging him gently. While the corners of his mouth rose and he smiled, he took out a free hand and gently pinched the little face of the little guy's sweaty microcloth.
"After walking around the commercial street for so long, are you tired? Have you already bought something you like? β
"Hehe, don't be afraid, with Brother Naruto, he will never be willing to let me fall!"
After throwing herself into Naruto's arms as she wished, Kaori habitually used her hands and feet together, hanging on Naruto like a koala. Then he raised his head and grinned, as if he was enjoying himself, and let Naruto's pampering behavior. He shook his head and replied confidently.
"I'm not tired, I'm not tired, I'm not tired at all now!"
"Of course you're not tired...... Along the way, I'm helping you carry things, how can you be tired......"
Following closely behind Xiang Li, Shi Shui, who was acting as a porter, couldn't help but roll his eyes after hearing Xiang Li's words, and complained aggrievedly.
Compared to after shopping, he was satisfied and threw himself into Naruto's arms to be coquettish, and he didn't see the physical strength of the incense that had been consumed in the long shopping process. At this moment, the water stop, not only on the hands, is full of shopping bags. Even the outstretched arms, shoulders, and even heads and necks have accumulated several shopping bags. If it weren't for the fact that his face wasn't hidden by the staggering number of shopping bags, allowing Naruto to easily identify him...... I'm afraid that Naruto's first reaction will be to treat the poor stop water as a coolie who Xiangren deliberately paid to help carry the "spoils of war".
"Also...... That's an exaggeration......"
Because of this, although Naruto thinks that he is mentally prepared for the innate desire to shop for girls. But after seeing the pitiful appearance of Shisui with a large bag and a small bag, and barely a little free area, Naruto was still taken aback. Then he opened his mouth wide and froze, lowered his head slightly, looked at the little guy in his arms in disbelief, lowered his own volume, and muttered to himself in a low voice.
"It seems that it is really a wise move to entrust this errand to Zhishui-san in advance......"
"Huh? Are you embarrassed to say? β
Of course, no matter how low Naruto's voice is, at such a close distance, he is a well-trained genius elite of the Uchiha clan. Naruto's words of secret rejoicing naturally came to Shisui's ears word for word. Immediately, the green tendons on his forehead protruded one after another conspicuous crosses, gritted his teeth, and said word by word with a "kind" face.
"I knew that...... You stinky boy, you've never done anything at a loss. No wonder you promised so happily before, you already thought this would be the case, right!? β
"Uh...... Ahem, what's ...... How so? I just see that the strength of the water stop is so strong, and it is the most suitable person to protect this naughty little girl. β
After seeing Shisui's sad and indignant questioning appearance, Naruto, who was already weak-hearted, naturally turned his head sideways instinctively in an incoherent and embarrassed response, not daring to face the aggrieved little eyes projected by Shisui.
"And ...... Belch...... Right! And oh! With such a large number, if it weren't for the well-trained Shui Sangsang on weekdays, it would definitely not be able to be brought with it, right? Well, let's eliminate gas...... Just think of it as ...... When it is...... Extra practice too! β
"I'm going to fix you big-headed ghost?! No, now that I think about it, I can only ask you one question, what a loss! I'll have to ask two ...... No, three will do! β
"I'll go! You are taking advantage of the fire to rob and sit on the ground to raise the price, stop the water mulberry! I only have so many secrets on me, are you planning to empty my old bottom all at once?! No way, no way! β
"Who made it clear to you in the first place! I don't care! You'll have to ask me three times! β
"Shhhββ! Okay, okay, count me at a loss...... How about taking a step back and asking you twice! β
"No, it must be three times!"
"No! Twice! β
"Three times!"
"Twice!"
As he spoke, Naruto and Shisui apparently forgot that there were other people on the scene, so that they stared at each other like a scheming vendor in a vegetable market, and began to argue as if no one was around.
"Three times...... Ahh Twice! Couldn't have been more! More than that, ......"
Just as Naruto was bargaining with Shisui and almost wrapped himself in, he was about to continue to say something, but he was attracted by the restless little movements of the person in his arms, and slowly lowered his head while asking curiously.
"Huh? What's wrong, Xianglin? β
And with the sudden interruption of Naruto's words, although he complained again and again, because of his own elder, he realized that there were other people present to stop the water's words, and he paused slightly to make up for his own image. And as Naruto's gaze shifted, it slowly focused on Kaori's body.
"Uh......h I'm sorry, Brother Shisui, Brother Naruto......"
And for the inexplicable dispute that suddenly broke out between the two. The young Xianglian was confused when he heard it, but from the number of items he had purchased that both of them mentioned, the reason for the quarrel between the two was misunderstood as that he didn't control his desire to shop for a while. led to buying too many things, which angered the two. He swallowed his saliva and curled up in Naruto's arms, reaching out with a trembling little hand and tugging at Naruto's collar. At the same time, after realizing that Naruto and Shisui's attention had all been shifted to himself. After pursing his lips and hesitating for a while, he mustered up his courage and whispered intermittently.
"Xiang Lian from ...... I've never seen so many beautiful clothes, so ...... So...... Only...... Just buy too much...... If Brother Naruto and Brother Shisui are angry because I spent too much money, then ...... That one...... These clothes are also ...... It's OK...... Do you want to return it? β
ββ¦β¦ I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I look like I scared you stupid girl......"
After hearing this, Naruto quickly reacted, and Xiang Ryu was haunted by the psychological shadow left in his heart when he lived in Kushinobi Village, for fear that he would be angry and ignore her. Immediately responded in a gentle voice, and shook his head with a smile. While looking at the little guy in his arms, intentionally or unintentionally, he glanced at the little eyes full of distress and reluctance to look at the shopping bag in the water stopper's hand. While freeing one hand, he soothed the little head that was gently rubbing the incense.
"Ann la, rest assured, this money is nothing...... Didn't I tell you before? If you like anything, just buy it. β
"......Uhh True...... Are you sure?! β
"Of course, I'll definitely do what I've promised!"
Naruto's doting words did not diminish in the slightest, and the reassuring warm soft touch coming from the top of his head, made Kaori slowly calm down. And in order to completely reassure Kari, Naruto's eyes rolled and he took it into account. Immediately, when Zhishui inexplicably felt a strange appearance of a chill down his spine, he raised his head and flushed Zhishui to reveal a gentle smile that was harmless to humans and animals. While opening his lips lightly again, he continued solemnly word by word.
"In the same way, since Zhishui-san has been walking around with Xianglin for a day so hard...... So, three questions, just three questions. β
"Huh...... I agreed so happily all at once......"
Unexpectedly got Naruto's concession, which made Shisui raise his eyebrows slightly, and began to look up and down Naruto's warm atmosphere of doting on Xiangru because he wondered if Naruto was planning some tricks again. Immediately, perhaps because for such a long time, he was accustomed to Naruto's adult posture disguised with transformation techniques, and then forgot Naruto's real age, and joked with a smile in his eyes.
"I said Naruto...... You can't be a lolicon, right? β
"Go, go, what's Loricon...... Let's not say that I don't have this habit at all, at my age, I can't say anything, right? β
As soon as Zhisui spoke, Naruto knew that Zhisui was just joking with himself. After a slight pause in his words, he rolled his eyes as he raised his head and looked at the sky. As if he suddenly remembered something, he continued.
"Oh, yes...... After going back to the hotel, remember to pack your luggage. If nothing else, we'll be ready to leave the day after tomorrow. β
"Huh? Day after tomorrow? Doesn't that mean that it took us almost a week, all the way to the end, only to stay for two days and then leave? β
Hearing the exact date Naruto said, Rao, as a companion along the way, Shisui couldn't help but open his mouth in surprise as if he had just heard the news. Then he folded his arms and frowned slightly, and asked out in confusion.
"You kid, didn't you say that you came to Shayin Village to do something? Why, was it done so quickly? β
"Ahh Perhaps because the erosion is not too deep, the whole process of healing the wounds is much easier than I imagined. In this way, since the matter has been completed, of course, it is necessary to return to the village as soon as possible...... The free time set aside for the day was just to observe the child a lot, just in case. β
As he spoke, Naruto turned his head slightly to the side, and guided with his own eyes, so that Shisui could also see the figure of Iara, who was playing and having fun among the children. After a pause, taking advantage of the opportunity to stop the water's attention to be attracted by Iro, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a smug smile that had a plan.
"Oh, by the way, the water stops......"
"I see, is that the kid...... Yes? β
Hearing Naruto's call, Shisui subconsciously turned his head back. But after seeing Naruto's strange and weird smile, for some reason, an inexplicable deep sense of regret was born in his heart. Then he swallowed his saliva and asked cautiously tentatively.
"How...... What's wrong? β
"The question just now,Plus ask me if I'm a Lolita control ......"
Naruto tried to hold back a smile at the complicated face that Shisui seemed to be aware of, but he didn't give up the thought he had planned. As a result, while blinking his eyes, he tilted his head slightly, pretending to be innocent, and told the truth that made Zhishui petrify instantly.
"The privilege of three questions...... You've used up two, and there's one left~"
ββ¦β¦ No way! No way! How can this be considered ......"
"Huh? Do you want to use it for the third time so soon~"
"Shhhββ! I...... I...... I ......"
"Hum ~ Concession, Concession ~"
ββ¦β¦ Rely on ββ! β
