Naruto was so tormented by Temari that he barely slept all night and slipped home with dark circles under his eyes.

Door opened with a click.

He went into the bathroom first, washed up, and after drying his hair, he fell into bed expertly. If you want to say that the harvest is not nothing, at least the container that contains the nine tails has been obtained.

Look at the ceiling and close your eyes. When I woke up again, it was already night, and my head was a little heavy.

Naruto sat up staggering for a moment, washed up and went out with his hands in his pockets and walked in the direction of Ichiraku Ramen. The street is fringed with light and shadow, and the lights are bright.

As soon as the night breeze blew, he clenched his hands.

Now, the tail untying technique and the tailed beast container are available, which means that you can get rid of the identity of the human pillar force at any time.

Ichiraku ramen.

"Shikamaru, Dingji?" Naruto stopped in front of the ramen shop, the lights shining on the faces of the trio, "Why are you here?" ”

Ding Ci raised his bandaged hand: "Just discharged from the hospital." ”

Shikamaru had a dead fish eye: "Take him out of the hospital." ”

"Then let's have a barbecue, I'll please." Naruto suggested.

"yes." Ding Ci raised his hand, fully agreeing. As for Shikamaru, he shrugged his shoulders and looked completely indifferent.

The three of them switched to the barbecue restaurant, found a place by the window, and ordered more than a dozen plates of barbecue and juice, and the trio of the second generation of Konoha began to chat while eating.

"Headache, Sasuke ran away, and the mission failed." Shikamaru swallowed a slice of roast meat with some reluctance, then sighed and turned to look at Naruto.

"I said you guy, Sasuke ran away, why don't you seem to feel anything?"

"How can it feel?" Naruto took a sip of juice and leaned back in his chair comfortably, "You don't understand, Sasuke will go for revenge sooner or later." ”

"You kid" Shikamaru frowned, "I suspect now that you deliberately let Sasuke go, but. Thank you anyway. ”

"Thank me for what? What if I really let Sasuke go on purpose? ”

"It doesn't matter." Shikamaru also leaned back in his chair, looking extremely lazy, "I almost killed everyone with my plan." The difference in strength between the two sides is too large, and leaving one-on-one blocking is the next policy. ”

"Aren't all people all right? You don't have to think about it that much. Naruto drank the juice and looked at Shikamaru with his peripheral vision, "There is no point in thinking about what didn't happen. ”

"yes, Shikamaru, you've done a good job." Ding Ci said while feasting.

Hearing this, Shikamaru was no longer entangled, and tacitly agreed with Naruto to help Ding Ji put the barbecue. The table fell silent instantly, but there was no feeling of embarrassment.

The barbecue sizzled, and Ding Ci opened his belly and ate wildly.

Moths flew around the lampshades above the heads of the three people, the wine glasses of the guests next to them clanged, the fans that were better than nothing were idling, and the heat curled up to reveal the peaceful faces of the three people.

A couple walks past the window, the girl's floral dress is lifted by the night breeze, and the trio eating barbecue in the store squints tactically.

"Speaking of which, Naruto." Shikamaru suddenly spoke, "You've been quite close to Ino lately, and that guy from Ino will mention you from time to time. ”

"Not a good word though." Ding Ci swallowed a piece of barbecue, squinted his eyes and added, "It's astringent or something." ”

"Really?" Naruto didn't react and continued to put meat on the baking tray for Dingji, he was actually not used to eating too greasy barbecue, and he lost his appetite after just eating a little.

Ding Ci needs a lot of fat for cultivation, so much so that he can quickly consume fat to replenish a large amount of chakra and energy during battle.

"We really have a good relationship." He said this, his eyes moving slightly, "As for the astringency, don't tell me that you didn't see the color of the fat times passing by just now." ”

Shikamaru: "Drink plenty of water. ”

Dingji: "This barbecue is good, Naruto, you can eat two slices too." ”

Naruto didn't eat, just raised his hand and shouted, "Trouble for another ten plates of barbecue." ”

Zila!

The last few slices of barbecue were placed on the barbecue plate by Ding Ji, Naruto subconsciously raised his hand to order a few more plates, Ding Ji grabbed his hand and said.

"It's almost done, if you eat it again, there is no room for supper in your stomach."

Ding Ci is indeed the kind of party that has to eat supper to death, and it is a routine operation for the stomach to take the initiative to make room for supper. Seeing this, Naruto also sat down.

Through the gap in digestion, Shikamaru suddenly mentioned Sakura.

Naruto was stunned for a moment, and immediately remembered that he seemed to have forgotten Sakura-chan, there have been too many things recently, and he has been spinning in a row, and he can't remember it at all if Shikamaru doesn't mention it.

"I don't know, I didn't bring Sasuke back, and I don't know how to face Sakura."

"It's not your responsibility alone." Shikamaru almost leaned back in his chair, staring at the ceiling with his head tilted back and said, "He's going to run himself, who can bring him back." ”

"He didn't say hello to anyone in advance when he wanted to run, and we can't know what he's thinking."

"I didn't think about it that much, I don't know what to say for the time being, so I won't meet." Naruto touched the glass with his hand, red watermelon juice reflected in his pupils.

"Slow down."

The three of them walked out of the barbecue restaurant and prepared to part on Konoha Street.

With a bang, the duo suddenly jumped off the roof and stood in front of the three of them. Without waiting for Shikamaru to ask, Gangko Iron said to Naruto.

"Naruto, come with us to the Hokage Building, Tsunade-sama will look for you."

"Now? What is it? Naruto looked puzzled.

"Yes, it seems that someone from the Sand Hidden side wants to see you by name." Kamizuki Izumo added.

The Hokage building is brightly lit.

By the time Naruto arrived, Tsunade had already left, leaving the little secretary Shizune to take Naruto to meet the last of the withdrawn ninjas on the Sand Hide side.

When Naruto saw Shizune take him to the reception room, only to find that the only person from the Sand Hidden side was Temari, he knew in his heart.

Silent presence, skillfully saluting and politely greeting Temari.

"The Land of Fire and the Land of Wind are allies."

Listening to the conversation between Temari and Mute, Naruto was bored. His gaze glanced at Temari and he glanced from top to bottom, only to see that the woman's eyes were watching him.

The corners of Naruto's mouth twitched, he wasn't sure if the woman had returned to normal, and it looked like she had gotten out of that low mood when she talked to Shizun.

Under the light, the handbow smile is like a flower.

He didn't pay much attention to it, staring at a corner and starting to get distracted. It wasn't until Temari began to mention his name that he began to thank Konoha for his understanding and help.

He also expressed his gratitude and recognition for the efforts made by the Konoha side in the development of bilateral relations, and put forward a temporary idea for the possibility of further strengthening cooperation in people's livelihood.

As Naruto was drowsy, Temari walked up to him, and he seemed to sense something, looking up to see a smiling face.

"Thank you." She said.

"Oh, no." Naruto wasn't sure what she was referring to, so she called over just to say thank you?

"A little gift for you."

Temari handed Naruto a palm-sized gift box, and without stopping after speaking, he walked straight outside.

Naruto tossed the gift box casually, it was unusually light, and suddenly he had a bad association. Before Handmari was far away, an idea suddenly appeared in his heart.

The little secretary of the black silk stayed in the reception room to sort out the content of Fang Cai's conversation, so that it could be recorded as a document for Tsunade's reference.

"I'll go first."

"Okay." Mute didn't raise his head, but answered.

He said hello and left, walking briskly into the hallway. Looking left and right at the figure without Temari, I guessed the direction casually, and finally saw Temari's back in front of the narrow corridor.

Under the light, the back of the hand bow is slender, and the long legs are white and greasy like lotus roots, adding a layer of mature temperament.

"Wait a minute." He called out to Temari, who was standing at the end of the hallway and was about to leave.

"What's wrong?" The latter turned his head and looked at Naruto with a puzzled gaze across the long hallway.

"Let me touch it." Naruto ordered without changing his face.

Hearing this, Temari was silent for a while, and said angrily.

"What crazy are you talking about! Dead perverted! ”

Naruto on the other end of the corridor listened to Temari's scolding expressionlessly, his left ear went in and out of his right ear, and he didn't say anything, he turned around and left in the opposite direction.

Looking at Naruto's blurring back, Temari stood with his mouth pursed for a moment, then took three or two steps into the end of the corridor at the other end. Slipped against the wall where no one saw it, and sat on the ground.

In the dim hallway light, there was a strange look in his eyes.

It should return to normal in a few days, but it is still too reluctant at this time.

Leaning against the wall, she slowly stood up, thinking about the gift she had given and couldn't help but smile. As if he had finally pulled back a game, he slowly got up and left.

"Looking forward to seeing you next time." Temari muttered.

The entrance of the Hokage Building.

Naruto opened the gift box as he walked. Black lines appear on the forehead.

"Look down on anyone, damn it."

Muttering to his lips, Naruto left with a blank expression.

When I got home, I suddenly found that I still had to take a shower, and the summer nights were just as hot. In a confused and chaotic mood, he stepped into the bathroom, put the water in and sank in.

The high-level meeting must have been held in the past few days, the hot water soaked his body, Naruto leaned back in the bathtub, the bathroom door wide open, unprepared.

He thought about what Tsunade had said, and secretly said that this high-level meeting should be a high-level meeting in a broad sense, not a small circle meeting of Hokage, Danzou and two advisors.

The patriarch of Konoha is basically a high-level family in a broad sense, and has the right to speak, if Tuan Zang takes this opportunity to pull all the patriarchs in to make a statement.

This can indeed weaken Tsunade's voice and voting power as the fifth generation Hokage, and even suppress Tsunade's power openly.

This is not a conspiracy, but a conspiracy.

But Tsunade didn't say anything to him, and Naruto naturally didn't come forward to ask without interest. Whether or not you can win the high-level meeting basically depends on the performance of Tsunade.

Just as I was soaking comfortably, suddenly there was a sound of a key turning eagerly at the door.

Well?

Before Naruto could react, the door slammed open, and at the same time, Ino's voice came out.

"You, you!! Come out! ”

Ino took off his shoes and ran to the bathroom door, where he screamed when he saw Naruto taking a bath.

"Why don't you close the door when you take a shower?"

"There's no one in my house, what's the door?" Naruto said with a dead eye open, "Not only am I going to leave the door open, I'm not going to get dressed yet." ”

"Ah!! Perverted, greedy pervert! Ino turned his face away, his face crimson, "You, you!! Come out! ”

There was a thud of water, and Naruto stood up from the tub. Ino instantly covered his eyes and fled, jumping onto the sofa to hide.

"What are you doing here at this late hour?" Naruto came out wrapped in a bathrobe and asked as he dried his hair, "Isn't Aunt worried about you?" ”

"I" Ino suddenly found that he didn't seem to have much to say, "I have the key, I can come whenever I want." ”

"Yes, yes, yes." He said as if he was coaxing a child, "Of course you can come at any time if you have the key, but have you kept it a secret from your aunt?" ”

"Huh?" Ino's lips opened slightly, and he looked cute as he just remembered, "I forgot, my mother must have known that I came to you." ”

"So what are you here for?" Naruto asked again as he circled the bend.

This time, Ino was a little late to react, and blurted out directly.

"Tsunade-sama told me that you and ."

Halfway through speaking, Ino suddenly shut up, looked at Naruto with a vigilant look, and said.

"It's nothing, I just can't sleep, just come and see."

"Tsunade-sama." Naruto frowned, "That woman is really idle, she is already a fifth generation, and she still doesn't do anything serious all day." ”

Ino sat honestly on the sofa, his body upright, motionless, and panicked.

Accidentally sold Tsunade-sama by a slip of the tongue, and now there is a man wrapped in a bath towel standing next to her.

"Wait a minute, I'll change your clothes and send you back." Naruto said without looking back, and walked straight into the room, "Drink and pour it yourself." ”

Ino didn't move, he sat on the couch in a daze, and waited until Naruto came out with his clothes on.

"What's wrong with you?"

"I'm a little uncomfortable." Ino said, his mouth unconsciously bent down.

"Then don't go back, sleep here for the night." Naruto walked to the entrance and said as he put on his shoes, "I'll go talk to my aunt so that they can be reassured." ”

"Wait a minute!" Ino couldn't sit still, rushed to the door and grabbed him, his eyes widened, and he asked with a look of disbelief, "You're crazy!" Really going? ”

"Aren't you feeling sick?" Naruto had already changed his shoes and pretended not to understand at all, "Such an important thing, there can be a fake." ”

"Don't go, come back soon!" Ino's face turned crimson, and he grabbed Naruto's arm tightly.

"Then don't go, you've got to give me a reason." He said.
