"Huh? Enemy? What are you talking about......"

"Hey...... Are you kidding! ”

After hearing Naruto's casual response words, Ninji, who believed that his plan was seamless, turned out to be contrary to his expectations, as if there was a sound of some kind of object collapsing, and his entire consciousness became in a trance. Immediately, under the instinctive impulse that surged in his heart, he didn't care about maintaining his calm and composed, but reached out directly, grabbed Naruto's collar and shook it vigorously.

"If you don't clearly find out that the other party is an enemy...... Why are you running out in a hurry? And it happens to be the direction in which Hinata-sama was taken away! ”

"Oh yes oh ...... With a little stimulation, do you tell the basis of your guesses...... Even if he becomes a little precocious because of the stimulation of losing his father, the child is still a child after all~"

After seeing Ninji's stunned and unbelievable appearance, Naruto's eyes were even more smiling, but under his own tried and tested superb acting skills, the innocent look on his face was not reduced in the slightest. Secretly snickering and teasing in his heart, while letting Ning Ci, who was out of control of his emotions, shake his shoulder, he raised his hand and scratched his face in confusion. While tilting his head slightly, blinking his eyes, pretending to be seriously rethinking and thinking, in order to make himself look more in line with the young character who has not yet crossed the threshold of five years old. Then he tried to hold back his laughter, his face was not red or panting, and he continued confidently.

"Because I had an agreement with Hinata during the exam that day...... At the end of the exam, I thought that Hinata would wait for me at school as agreed. As a result, Sasuke told me that Hinata had been taken home by her father one step earlier, so she ran out in a hurry...... What's wrong? Any questions? ”

As soon as Naruto's words fell, he closed his mouth just in time. In addition to giving Ning Ci time to digest and absorb, on the surface, he maintained the innocent and innocent appearance of a good baby, but secretly he scanned back and forth with his eyes openly, observing all the changes in Ning Ci with interest.

At the same time, even after the string of reason broke, Ninji was still full of doubts about the reason given by Naruto. So much so that his eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Naruto's every move, trying to find a flaw in it that would prove that he was lying. But because of this move, like the last straw that crushed the camel, even Ning Ci himself did not notice it, and the green tendons gradually protruded between his foreheads, and even his eyes suddenly became much brighter......

By mistake, the bloodstain boundary inherited by the bloodline of the Hyuga clan, which is known as one of the three major pupil techniques in the ninja world together with the Sharingan, is actually showing signs of awakening in this kind of crying and laughing occasion!

“…… Not...... Gone? That's all?! ”

Unaware of the awakening of his own bloodstain boundary, Ning Ji instinctively watched Naruto's every move more carefully with the help of the excellent observation ability of his white eyes with almost no dead ends, so that even the slightest reaction of Naruto's facial muscles did not fall. After a little hesitation, he continued to ask and retort like a cannon.

"How is that possible! No kidding! Have you seen through the enemy's disguise, let's not talk about it for the time being...... I don't know of any convention that is important enough to make you look so anxious. Even knowing that Hinata-sama had been taken home, he did not hesitate to go all the way to the territory of the Hyuga clan...... Right! That's right, that's it! If you can freely enter and leave the clan territory of the Hyuga clan, you can directly find Hinata-sama...... Your identity is more than what it seems on the surface, right!? ”

"Huh? It's an enemy again, it's being taken home again, what a mess...... What the hell are you trying to say? Anyway, why do I have to go to the Hyuga clan clan to find Hinata? ”

In response to Ninji's successive questions, Naruto vetoed them all in a serious manner based on the principle of "I don't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense". Because his attention was always on Ning Ci, Naruto, who was a bystander, discovered the fact that Ning Ci's eyes had been opened earlier than Ning Ci. Then thoughtfully, while patiently waiting for Ning Ci's next words, he turned his head slightly, looked at the gloating not far away, covered his mouth and snickered at an endless small fan, half-jokingly and half-seriously thinking about it, and muttered to himself in his heart.

"That look...... White-eyed? I actually opened my eyes at such a deep blow, I really don't know whether to congratulate him or ...... Speaking of which, the timing of Sasuke's writing wheel eye opening and Itachi-san's writing wheel eye advancement seems to be a bit subtle...... Definitely, I also have a hidden ability that is designed to help people open their eyes, right......? ”

First of all, Sasuke's writing wheel eye is in the mistaken belief that Naruto has been caused by some reason and will never return to him. made the emotions of the small group fan suddenly erupt with a huge sense of sadness, which stimulated the writing wheel to open its eyes in advance.

Then, Itachi's Sharingan advancement was based on Naruto's mischief calculations, and he mistakenly thought that his father would be unfavorable to Izumi, or even hit a heavy hand, endangering Izumi's life. So much so that under the heart of the wife, one of the writing wheel eyes owned by Itachi was stimulated by the strong desire to protect the spring in his heart, and advanced to the mature state of the three-hook jade second only to the kaleidoscope writing wheel eye.

In addition, now because he was teased and teased by Naruto, all the conjectures in his heart have been overturned. Then he didn't give up trying to observe Naruto's expression more closely, causing Ningji to open his eyes......

Well, that counts...... Although the changes that occurred in the pupil techniques of these three people were not the result of Naruto's intention...... But strictly speaking, the three of them were all because of Naruto's appearance and intervention, which led to unexpected changes in their pupil techniques. And then to give Naruto the title of "eye-opening expert", it seems that there is nothing wrong with it?

"Want to find Hinata-sama without setting foot in the Hyuga clan...... family?"

After being slightly stunned, Ning Ci seemed to feel that his IQ was insulted by the person in front of him, and became angry. Then he gritted his teeth and roared in a low voice, dragging Naruto's collar hard, taking advantage of the height advantage brought by the age difference, lifting Naruto slightly off the ground.

"You're kidding, you're kidding——! Don't you find a more reliable reason to lie? ”

"Huh? Lie? What am I panicking about? I didn't just say it, I heard the news that Hinata had been picked up, so I hurriedly ran out. ”

Compared to Ninji, who was more and more convinced that Naruto was lying, Naruto's face was not red and out of breath, but there was no panic on his face. On the contrary, after hearing Ning Ci's words, he showed a helpless look at the idiot. Then he spread his hands, and in a word, he joked and ridiculed with confidence.

"So, just catch her on Hinata on the way home before Hinata returns home. Isn't it possible to find Hinata without going to the territory of the Hyuga clan? Don't tell me, you can't even think of such a simple way~"

“…… I...... You...... I ......"

At first glance, the simple and direct method that seemed to make sense made Xiao Ningci, who was already immature and not very active in thinking, suddenly stunned in place. After hesitating for a long time, but failing to come up with enough words to refute the person in front of him, he couldn't help but blush, stammered and changed the topic with a red face, a stiff neck in annoyance.

"Okay...... Yes! This...... You have a point...... That...... And what about the agreement?! What is it that makes you look anxious? ”

Between words, in Ninji's mind, there were only two answers that Naruto could give - either or a lame excuse that could be seen through at a glance. Or, or there is something else to hide, choose to keep it a secret from yourself. And more or less, he was able to keep himself firmly in place, believing that Naruto had a secret thought hidden in him. And use this as a reason to give yourself confidence that your intuition is still accurate.

But obviously, this kind of careful thinking, if it is against other children of the same age, may indeed be invincible...... But for Naruto, who can lie with confidence, he will make a mistake in such a trivial matter, which is absolutely non-existent~

"Hmph, of course! And it's very, very, very—important conventions! ”

The choice of excuse in the heart has already been decided. Faced with Ning Ci's questioning. Naruto snorted softly with his hands on his hips, blurting out a reply almost without thinking.

"That is, we made an appointment to ...... after the exams Let's go and eat the new flavor of ramen that Ichiraku Ramen Shop has released for a limited time! ”

In fact, in order to appease the kidnapped Hinata and avoid leaving any psychological shadows in the young mind of this silly girl. After saving Hinata, Naruto did take Hinata to Mimi for a full meal of ramen...... In other words, in a way, Naruto was telling the truth, without the slightest hint of water. Merely...... It's just a matter of hiding the more important content of "throwing away".

“…… Ha??? Eating ramen? Just for such a trifle?! You must be kidding me! ”

After seeing that Naruto was arrogant, the lame excuse he gave was obviously unreasonable in the eyes of Ninji himself. made Ning Ci sit more and more firmly in his heart, for the seemingly ordinary and harmless Naruto in front of him, in fact, in secret, there are many hidden secrets in the conjecture. Because of Naruto's apparently casual response, the raised outline of the brow became more and more obvious, and it trembled slightly from time to time.

"In this world...... How can there be a stupid person who is so anxious that he can run faster than a rabbit in order to eat a bowl of ramen that will be released for a limited time! ”

"Nonsense! Sit down calmly with your companions and enjoy the world's best and most delicious ramen made by Uncle Ichiraku...... This is a rare and ultimate enjoyment in the world, how can it be said to be a trivial matter! ”

"Shhhh I said that before, right? If you make excuses, you'll have to find something decent! ”

After seeing Naruto's forcible rebuttal of "dead duck's hard mouth", Ninji, who was gradually led away from the topic, suddenly put aside the doubts in his heart in the process of arguing with others. Then his brows furrowed, and he snorted coldly with disdain.

"Isn't it just a bowl of ramen that can be found everywhere on the street? How can it be as evil as you say! ”

"Oh, really? I don't think you've ever experienced the destructive power of the ramen cooked by Uncle Ichiraku......

"Hmph, who wouldn't brag? It's not like I haven't eaten ramen, that kind of commoner class food, how good can it be? Mostly, it's just that you've tasted too little food, so that's why you're ......."

"Huh? Don't jump to conclusions...... Since you don't believe it, how about we make a bet? Of course, if you're afraid of losing, you can choose to decline ......"

"Huh? Will I be afraid of losing? Don't underestimate people! Yes! You say! What to bet on? ”

"It's very simple, I'll invite you to Uncle Ichiraku's and have a bowl of ramen. Taste it with your own tongue to draw real conclusions......"

Seeing that Ninji was under his own gradual guidance, his competitive instinct was stimulated, and then he gradually stepped into the trap carefully prepared by Naruto. The corners of Naruto's mouth slowly rose, and a smug and treacherous smile involuntarily appeared. Then, without waiting for Ning Ci to come back to his senses from the impulse, he continued with a smile on his face and an innocent face.

"If, after that, you still think that tasting Uncle Yiraku's craftsmanship is not so important, then I have lost. As punishment, I can promise you one thing unconditionally within the scope of my ability...... It's the other way around, if you lose, you have to promise me something. What do you think? Fair enough, right? ”

“……”

Under the keen observation of the white eyes, Ning Ji caught the strange smile on the corner of Naruto's mouth, and suddenly realized that Naruto was uneasy and kind. But in the middle of thinking about it, first of all, it was Naruto who invited himself to eat ramen for nothing. Then, even if the ramen tastes really good, he can justifiably say that it doesn't deserve to be taken so seriously, and naturally get the power to instruct Naruto to do something at will, so that he can directly use this as a threat, order Naruto to confess, and then learn all of Naruto's secrets...... No matter how you think about it, it's a sure-fire deal, and Naruto's silent agitation from time to time with teasing eyes swept around, making Ning Ji grit his teeth and agree.

However, Ninji, who wanted to prove that Naruto did indeed have an unknown secret on his body, did not notice it at all when he was arguing with Naruto......

Since Naruto said it, he would promise to help Ninji do one thing after losing the bet......

Isn't this equivalent to Naruto already admitting in disguise, he is indeed as Ninji thought, not as ordinary and harmless as he seems on the surface?

In other words, Naruto, who is secretly happy in his heart, is completely bullying children at the moment with simple thinking and will not think too deeply...... Even when Ning Ci grew up, when he thought about it carefully, Ning Ci noticed the truth. can also use this as an excuse to tell Ning Ci confidently that he has already given him a hint~

"Good! I'm betting with you! ”

"Hehe, refreshed, then it's a word! Let's go! Let's go to Uncle Yile now! ”

"Humph! Let's go, who's afraid of whom! ”

At this time, because his attention was all focused on Naruto, Ninji, who was young and vigorous, and couldn't stand the stimulation, didn't notice it at all...... As Naruto was familiar, he walked out slowly with his shoulders on his back.

“…… Idiot ......"

The small group of fans that followed Naruto from afar, projecting a gaze on Ning Ji's back, seemed to be looking at a fool who had just signed a deed of sale and was helping Naruto count the money, from the initial strong jealousy [crossing] vigilance, to the current sympathy full of pity. Then he shook his head slightly, like a little adult, and pretended to be mature and sighed in a low voice.

"Naruto's cheapness, it's not so easy to take advantage of......"
