Chapter 61: Sincerity is Nirvana (Ask for Follow-up)
"I'm sorry, please mourn." Ino said with some guilt.
"There's no need to apologize for that kind of thing." Naruto took the white chrysanthemum, and was about to pay when he suddenly saw a red flower.
Maybe he felt that one flower was too little, so he habitually put one on one, so he pointed to the red flower and said.
"Ino, can you wrap that flower for me too?"
"Huh? That's it...... All right. Ino turned around to take the flowers, and wrapped the flowers with a sharp movement, "A total of fifty taels." ”
"Are you going to give it to Sakura? She seems to have been in a medical class lately. ”
Naruto paid, took the flowers, and handed the wrapped rose to Ino.
"Huh?" Ino was stunned for a moment, "Is there anything wrong with the flowers?" ”
"For you." Naruto handed the flower forward again, and Ino reached for it.
"Why did you send flowers all of a sudden?" Ino was a little confused, she didn't expect Naruto to buy flowers for her, although there was no shortage of flowers at home, but .......
"There's no why, it's just that I suddenly remembered, thank you Ino for taking care of me, it's normal." Naruto put away the white chrysanthemum and stared at Ino and said.
"It's reasonable to say that, but it still feels weird." Ino looked away, smiled dryly and said, "It always feels like an adult, sending flowers to each other or something." ”
"Don't say that kind of strange thing, if you don't want to then I won't give it away." Naruto wanted to reach for it.
"No, how can there be a reason to take back the gifts that are given, besides....... I didn't say I wouldn't. Ino stubbornly protected the wrapped rose.
Naruto was originally pretending to be pretty, and he didn't really want to rob it, so he said goodbye and left.
Following.
The Shadows found the body of Moonlight Blast on a rooftop, with a blade cut through his body and a fatal wound to his neck.
At the same time, the third session of the Zhongnin Exam jointly held by the Land of Wind and the Land of Fire was also opened. Unlike the first two, the third one will be held in an arena that can accommodate 10,000 people, and the nobles and ladies of the Fire Nation will come forward.
For this group of nobles who have no worries about food and clothing, watching ninja fights is as elegant as having a silver party at home.
The aristocracy occupied a large amount of land and means of production, and the annual rent collected and the tax incentives given by the Fire Nation alone were enough for them to squander on a daily basis. Naruto used to envy these rich people, and now he still envies.
Although those people don't have as much money as him now, they will enjoy it.
It's not like Naruto has money that can't be spent, and he can't spend it at all. Buying expensive home appliances, eating barbecue, and taking a bath everywhere are already the limits of consumption. This body is still too small, and it can't do anything to burn money.
The venue was bustling with activity inside and outside, and the atmosphere of the official examination was as grand as a festival. The streets are bustling with pedestrians and vendors selling their products, with liquor and red bean balls being the bestsellers.
Naruto walked down the street, carrying a bag of food in the direction of the training ground.
Maybe it's because of the official exams, and there is no one in the training ground, so they probably all go to the big arena. After all, on such a grand day, who would go to a remote training ground to train?
Naruto wasn't there to train either, he hadn't trained at all.
It was still early, and the forest was unusually quiet in the early morning, and Naruto stood in the training ground, looking left and right as if he was looking for something.
"Naruto-kun...... How did you come here? ”
Suddenly, Hinata's figure timidly emerged from the stake in the training ground, and he asked cautiously by holding his hand.
At this time, Hinata was wearing a light blue long-sleeved retro gown on her upper body, and a black three-point straight-leg pants on her lower body, which made the whole person dignified and beautiful.
"Deliver food." Naruto lifted the kraft oil paper bag on his handle and said, "Didn't you make an appointment to eat barbecue last time?" I haven't seen you all this time. ”
"I'm sorry, I've been training so ......." Hinata lowered her head, she didn't want to say that her father had completely ignored her, so she kept gritting her teeth and training, just to prove herself.
"It doesn't matter." Naruto approached, handed the paper bag to Hinata and said, "Hinata will definitely be able to become stronger if she works so hard." ”
"I haven't changed anything." Hinata said in a depressed mood, "The last time I faced Brother Ninji, it was Naruto that you helped me to hold up a few round-trips, I think if it were me, I might not be able to hold up a back-and-forth." ”
"You can't say that." Naruto pulled out a string of balls from the bag and took a bite to comfort him, "Hinata, you know that you can't beat but still persist, that's brave enough." ”
"Becoming stronger doesn't happen overnight, but you still have to have some confidence in yourself."
"Thank you, Naruto-kun." Hinata looked up and smiled again, "I know, I'll try." ”
"Do you eat then?"
"Hmm."
Hinata was a little uncomfortable with Naruto's honest gaze, and suddenly felt a little overwhelmed.
"This is red bean balls, and that's fried tempura, cake." Naruto rummaged through it and handed it to Hinata, "This will be eaten, right?" ”
"Ah, I will eat."
"What about this? This seems to taste good, although I haven't eaten much of it, but the boss said that it is very popular with girls. Naruto took out a lot of snacks, and it seemed that they were really specially for Hinata.
"Naruto-kun."
"Huh?" Naruto looked up at Hinata.
"Thank you."
"Okay."
Hinata was stunned, no one would say yes. In the face of thanks, shouldn't it be okay to be normal? Naruto's sentence was good, and he couldn't fix it directly to Hinata, and his face turned red instantly.
"What's wrong with you?"
"I'm thinking...... Naruto-kun, why are you being so nice to me? Hinata looked away and said, "It's hard for people like me to be likable, I'm a failure at everything, and I'm also a coward. ”
"You've done a great job, I don't know why you have low self-esteem, but I think Hinata you're actually very gentle with people. Your companions are sure to like you, so don't worry about it. ”
Hearing this, Hinata raised her eyes and secretly glanced at him, and the action was as cute as a kitten. Then he lowered his head very quickly, revealing an embarrassed expression, and his lips pursed slightly, revealing a shallow smile.
Naruto's surprising honesty made Hinata smile that was extremely difficult to show in front of outsiders, even if Naruto didn't have that kind of feeling for Hinata of the opposite sex at the moment, it was inevitable that his heartbeat would increase.
"Naruto-kun, I'...... I am very happy. Hinata stammered with a soft smile on her face, "It's the first time someone has complimented me like that, so I'm ......"
"You'll hear it a lot in the future, so that's okay." Naruto said, "The middle ninja exam is about to start, won't you go over?" ”
"Sorry...... Naruto-kun, I made an appointment with the tooth and them to go over. Hinata had a guilty look on her face.
"It's okay, then I'll go first." Naruto said goodbye to Hinata, "Goodbye Hinata, cheer up!" ”
"Hmm." Hinata had a look of shame on her face.
"Goodbye...... Naruto-kun. ”
