Chapter 71: If the Grip Is the Hand (For the Helmsman, Big Jackie)
Naruto pulled open the bench and laid out the carpet without making any noise.
Ino is used to this, after all, she is the eldest lady of the Yamanaka family. It's not pampered, but the demeanor still exudes elegance during the meal.
"I didn't expect you to cook so deliciously."
"Huh?"
"That's a compliment, stupid."
"It's nothing, a ninja's essential survival skill." Naruto took a sip of hot tea, "So rubbing the bathroom just to get to the hospital faster?" ”
"Of course, my mother went to apply for a visit to Sasuke." Ino pursed his lips and smiled.
"Are the Yamanaka clan and the Uchiha still moving?"
"Absolutely." Ino took a bite of the omelet rice, his eyes narrowed into an extremely beautiful arc, "The Uchiha clan is one of the most powerful families in Konoha. ”
"Even though only Sasuke is left now, who knows for sure what the future holds?"
Naruto sighed, understanding what Ino meant.
Although the Uchiha clan is now almost extinct, Sasuke is still there, and the blood limit will continue to be passed on. Perhaps a few generations later, the family is thriving again.
"Is Sasuke going to marry several wives?"
Ino: "........"
"Isn't it?"
"Don't ask me about this kind of thing, what am I going to say?" Ino glared at Naruto, lowered his face and continued to eat.
After simply filling his stomach, Ino lay on the couch and Naruto went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
After a while, Ino's mother would come to the neighborhood to bring her custom-made formal clothes, and together they would visit Sasuke on behalf of the Yamanaka clan.
Konoha Hospital is not far from Naruto's house, anyway, when he goes home to change his clothes, he still waits for the formal clothes that Mrs. Yamanaka picks up, and Ino simply stays at Naruto's place.
"Ino." Naruto leaned against the kitchen door, "It's like we're living together." ”
"Who wants to live with you!" Ino's unconcerned voice came from the sofa, "But your sofa is good, where did you buy it?" ”
"460 Konoha Street."
The dryer in the bathroom was still buzzing, and while it was taking advantage of this, Naruto poured a cup of hot tea and stood at the other end of the sofa, observing Ino who was curled up in the sofa like a cat.
The wide T-shirt was worn on Ino like a miniskirt, and he slept in a very upright position, and his snow-white legs were bent and stacked together, obscuring the spring light.
Naruto just glanced at it and looked away, ignoring it.
"What kind of book are you?"
Boredom, Ino got up, half-kneeling and reaching for a book placed in the corner of the sofa, his white jade hand lying across the sofa.
Naruto seemed to remember something, his pupils dilated slightly. That book is a kissing paradise for Jiraiya, the latest sequel collector's edition that Naruto bought some time ago for fifteen times the price.
It's a treasure that even Kakashi wants to get, a boutique of limited editions.
In short, if you don't do something, you're going to die.
"Ino!" Naruto suddenly shouted loudly.
"What's wrong?"
Ino turned his head, looking startled by Naruto.
"See."
"What...... What do you see? Ino blinked, and after three seconds, he reacted instantly.
"Ahh You!!! Ino shrank instantly.
While holding it down, he glared at Naruto with a murderous look in his eyes and asked angrily.
"What do you see?"
"Didn't see anything."
"You just said you saw it!" Ino gritted his teeth.
"That....... I went to the toilet. Naruto pretended to run to the bathroom.
"Don't go!" Ino hurriedly ran to the bathroom door to block it, "You're definitely going to do something weird!" ”
"How is that possible?"
Naruto said as he silently moved to the corner of the couch and touched the couch blindly with his hands behind his back. After picking up the intimate heaven accurately, he hid it neatly in his back.
"Then I'm not going to do it."
........
At the intersection downstairs, Ino in a black dress stood straight, and Naruto was squatting aside boredly.
"Lady Yamanaka is coming soon, aren't you?"
"It should be soon, my mother is very punctual." Ino said.
Hearing this, Naruto got up, handed Ino a pack of tissues and said.
"Then I'll go first."
"Why?" Ino looked at Naruto's outstretched hand and hesitated, grabbing the pack of tissues.
"It's not good to be seen alone with me, though I don't want to admit it, but...... I do ....." Naruto stopped speaking halfway through and spread his hands.
"Anyway....... See you next time, Ino. ”
"Huh! Don't go, it's okay. ”
Ino stretched out his hand and Naruto was already far away, waving with his back to her, and it didn't take long for the figure to disappear.
She froze in place for a moment, then turned her head to look away, her gaze darkening. Although she said it didn't matter, she herself hesitated about her mother's attitude.
Even if you stand together as a friend, isn't it allowed?
"Ino."
"Hmm!" Ino looked up sharply, but what he saw was his mother, Rino Yamanaka.
"What's wrong with you?"
Rino Yamanaka, dressed as a noblewoman, wore an emerald long dress, held a delicate black bag, and reached out to touch her daughter's cold forehead.
"When I first walked over, I saw you standing here in a daze."
"I'm fine." Ino barely managed to squeeze out a smile, "It's because my mother is too slow, and I'm just a little bored waiting." ”
"I'm sorry."
"How about my mother give me a dress?" Ino grabbed Rino Yamanaka's hand and said affectionately.
"How can you still be like a child when you're such an adult?" Yamanaka Rino touched Ino's head dotingly and said with a smile.
"How did I see that you didn't seem to be alone, but your friend?"
"yes." Ino was a little weak-hearted, "It's not counted, it's just more familiar." ”
"Our little Ino has grown up." Yamanaka Rino said with a smile and walked in the direction of Konoha Hospital with Ino in his arms.
"Mother, don't talk nonsense." Ino said coquettishly.
"Is it Naruto?"
Rino Yamanaka's words made Ino stunned for a moment, and she looked slightly sideways at the unnatural expression on her daughter's face, revealing a guessed smile.
"Naruto and I ..... him"
"Ino, your father and I are both very enlightened people." Yamanaka Rino's voice was still gentle, "But Naruto, as a mother, I want you to think again." ”
Ino pursed his lips and didn't speak.
"It's not that I don't like Naruto, it's just that he's an important presence to the village." Rino Yamanaka said, "The village has too many restrictions on Naruto's kid, I just don't want you to get hurt." “
"Hmm."
......
Naruto stood on top of a telephone pole on a high place, looking down at Konoha with a blank face, his gaze passing through the overlapping ridges, frozen in the distance on a cliff.
His pupils were a strange blood-red color, the same as the Nine-Tails' pupils.
There are two black dots standing above the Hokage Rock, and when the line of sight closes, they are two hat monsters wearing trench coats with red clouds on a black background.
