Chapter 3: Weeping

Later in the evening, Ino learned the news of Yuzo's defection at the dinner table at home. She had just returned to Konoha, and her previous mission had taken more than two months.

"Dad, you're kidding me, aren't you?" She asked, and it was Kaichi Yamanaka who opened her mouth to tell her.

Yamanaka's face was very serious, and he wanted to convey a message to Ino that this was not a joke, but in the end he could only say dryly:

"It's true..."

"I don't believe it!" This was Ino's natural reaction, and although it had been a long time since she had seen Yuzo, the sight of sitting and talking together in the park before, and the fact that she was humming a song as if it had happened yesterday.

No wonder she felt that her mother's face was ugly as soon as she entered the house, and she thought that her parents had quarreled. Who's parents are not model couples, and it is impossible not to have some friction in life, so she didn't care.

The result is such a news?

There was silence at the dinner table, and none of the three seemed to know what to say to lighten the mood. Everyone looked at the food in front of them, and their minds were spinning in their hearts not knowing what to say.

"Ino, this kind of thing hasn't happened before, just don't pay too much attention to it." Yamanaka Haiichi felt that he couldn't go on like this, so it was better to explain: "He's already a traitor, and we don't know exactly what's going on here, but... Anyway, it's happened, accept it. ”

"This is a ninja."

Ino stood up silently, turned around and walked towards his room. With a quiet slam shut, she locked the door to her room.

Sitting on her own bed, her mind was in turmoil.

Born in Konoha and raised here by her parents and elders, she never thought that words like renegade could be associated with herself or her own life. What exactly did Amazo do? What the hell is going on? Isn't it always good-looking? How did he suddenly become a traitor?

I can't figure it out, but I can't control it.

Could it be that the rain hiding she has been exposed to all this time is disguised? Sometimes she does feel like Yuzo is hiding something, but is this kind of thing he is hiding? Kill her companion and then defect, Konoha has also confirmed his identity as a traitor, and since then, she and Yuzo have been firmly separated by the barrier of the camp, and when they meet again, they may have a hostile relationship with each other.

This kind of thing is terrible and unacceptable when you think about it.

However, this was not a joke her father made with herself, but the heavy facts firmly pressed on her, making her feel out of breath and difficult to breathe.

The inside of her room was not much different from the average girl, pink wallpaper or some small ornaments or something. There are no bear dolls or anything like that, and Ino, who has been targeting ninjas since he was a child, doesn't have much interest in this kind of thing.

However, there was a life-size pillow on her bed, which was a gift from Yuzo.

This pillow has been around for several years, and it is said that it was designed by Yuzo himself and sent to the clothing store for an extra fee. The pink undertone has a round blue and white creature on top of it, which is cute. According to Amazo, the deformed guy who looks like a fat guy is called Doraemon, a strange name.

This is still a cat, and if you look closely, there is indeed a cat's whiskers on the face, and there are three short black lines on each side.

This thing is something that is directly related to cuteness in her room, and the rest of the words are at most feminine.

Lying on the bed with a pillow, Ino felt a little reassuring.

She has always understood Yuzang's thoughts, but because of the girl's nature, she was attracted by Sasuke's handsomeness and then became jealous together, so she gradually gave birth to the idea that her boyfriend must be handsome.

So she always says things like "Don't get your hopes up, I must find a boyfriend who is more handsome than Sasuke".

Talking like this, I don't know when, she didn't have the heart to find a handsome boyfriend, and gradually began to feel that it was good to be with Yuzang like this.

And then, this guy turned into a traitor?

Tears flowed out unconsciously, soaking the smiling face of the blue fat man that seemed to never change.

Ino knew that such a performance was too uncompromising, how could a ninja cry... She hurriedly wiped it with her hands, but the more she wiped it, the more she wiped, and finally she cried bitterly.

Forget it, just cry.

Don't let her run into this damn guy again, or you must punish him well, punish him for never smoking, never taking a bath, never eating!

This is the last time I cried, Ino swears in his heart!

His daughter's voice could be faintly heard outside the door, and Yamanaka and his wife could see the worry in their eyes as they looked at each other as they stood outside the door.

"Husband, what should I do? Yuzang that kid is too, what the hell is going on, why did it suddenly become like this? He's not that kind of person..."

"Let her be alone for a while." After all, Yamanaka Haiichi is still a relatively calm person, and comforted his wife and said: "Don't worry, it's nothing, this child has not been the type that will worry people since he was a child, believe her."

Yamanaka Haiichi never mentioned the matter of Yuzo, he knew very well that even if there was really a secret in it, it was not something he could control, at most, he could ask the Hokage about it, that's all.

He did do so the next day, and what Tsunade said was equivalent to not saying anything, and no information was revealed to him at all: "There is nothing to say about this matter, in short, the evidence is conclusive, and Shinomiya Yuzo has also defected, which is equivalent to not confessing to himself."

But seeing that his daughter Ino seems to have returned to normal, he no longer puts his mind on here. Although he still cares about this matter very much, since Tsunade is reluctant to say it, there is nothing he can do.

What's more, according to some information he knew, Yuzo's killing of the crow was also a reason for the past.

Maybe that's really the case, right?

And Ino does seem to have recovered, looking energetic.

She came to the barbecue restaurant where she often gathered, and Ding Ji and Shikamaru were already waiting for her.

"Shikamaru, Dingji, you probably know everything, right?" Ino asked, and when she mentioned it again, she still couldn't help but show a hint of uncomfortable emotion.

"But would Yuzo really do such a thing?" Ding Ji rarely didn't wipe out his snack inventory again, and looked at Shikamaru and asked.

"After all, we know too little information, and from the superficial information I know, it is indeed possible for Yuzo to kill his companion and defect." Shikamaru said, and then he explained the grievances between Yuzo and Raven a little, because of the maturity of his mind, Shikamaru's father would share a lot of things with him, and he really knew a lot of things.

"And such a thing?" Ding Ci was surprised, although Shikamaru was a little vague when he said it, and he didn't mention the specific name of the person or anything, but Ding Ci, who is usually sluggish, still understood, and he was still smarter when his mind was not on eating.

Ino vetoed Shikamaru's claim: "Impossible, even if it's just for me... I mean, even if it's just to stay in Konoha, I'm going to be patient..."

Shikamaru blinked and said, "Yes, that's right. Therefore, we still know too little, and I am afraid that only the Hokage-sama or the three people of the Elder Group know what the inside story really is. ”

Yuzo's defection has been known to more and more Konoha ninjas in the past few days, and those who are not familiar with him also sigh that Konoha has another traitor.

And people who are familiar with him, such as Naruto, such as Shikamaru Ino, can sense that something is wrong.

After all, Yuzo had never shown any extreme inclinations, and a sudden defection was something that was somewhat incomprehensible to these people.
