Knock knock, bathroom door knocks.

Smell.

Tayu couldn't help but be a little speechless, "Didn't you just come in directly?" ”

"Really? I don't remember. Naruto's voice came from outside the door, "Anyway, it's rude not to knock, can I come in now?" ”

"Whatever." Tayu was also a little irritable, and his head was covered in the bathtub.

She really didn't know what to do, so she just broke the jar and broke it. Anyway, her life is like this, it has always been dark and twisted.

No matter what it becomes, there is no point in making money. She was a little sad, an emotion she had never felt before, and she didn't know what to do.

I can't say I hate it, I can't say I like it, I subconsciously want to escape.

The door was pushed open.

Naruto took the hair towel and placed it on the shelf, turning to leave. Suddenly, he realized that Tayuya was too silent, so he asked more.

"What's wrong with you?"

"The money is back to you." Tayuya said as he curled up in the bathtub.

"Why do you say this all of a sudden?" Naruto realized that something was wrong with the pick-up, but he didn't regret it much, he just wanted to raise Tayuya.

She doesn't understand anything, there is something wrong with Orochimaru's education, and she doesn't care about the cannon fodder under her subordinates. This gave him a chance, just to trick him.

"I don't want to stay here anymore, I owe you all the money." Tayuya said in a muffled voice.

"That's not going to work."

"Why?" Duoyu also turned his head, and he didn't care about being shy, and the sound of the water sounded, "I will pay you back, I don't owe you anything, and all the debts are offset." ”

"It's not about money, it's not that way."

"Isn't it just about money? Anyway, I just want to get money from you and cheat me out of something to eat. She said.

"I know all of this, and I don't care." Naruto's eyes were calm, and he seemed to be at ease, or he had thought of this day a long time ago.

Even if you think too much, you won't disappear without a sound one day, maybe you have to take some time to find it. But fortunately, that kind of troublesome thing didn't happen, and it saved a lot of trouble.

And the reason why Naruto is so bothered to keep Tayuya is just to leave a way back for himself.

He is no longer a nine-tailed human pillar force, he has the strength of a half-nine-tailed himself, plus he also has a dog fox by his side.

God knows how the people of that village will react when all these things are revealed.

And Tsunade is not the only high-level Konoha executive, Shikamaru's personality is also different from his father's, and he doesn't seem to have any interest in politics. Among the twelve small powerhouses, with his current connections and strength, it is easy to become the Hokage.

Tsunade had vaguely mentioned to him that as long as he wanted to, the Hokage's position would be his. Tsunade is a fifth generation, Jiraiya and Kakashi are both reserve Hokage, and the three major clans of Pig, Deer and Butterfly are friends with him.

The same is true of the old Hyuga clan, Inuzuka, and Oil Girl, as long as he doesn't die, he can stay in the ranks of the Hokage Reserve all the time, and then go to the path of the strongest Hokage.

But everything has a contingency, not to mention that Naruto never wanted to be a Hokage.

He didn't stay in Konoha because of any sense of belonging, but because his strength was not too strong, and he didn't want to toss too much for the time being. But if he doesn't become a Hokage, he is destined to not stay in Konoha anymore.

It's okay that the next six generations are Kakashi, but when Kakashi abdicates, who will take over? After all, it will still be feared, so. I still have to make plans to leave early.

After leaving, maybe it was to rebuild the country of the vortex, but the twenty-seven masks gave him a new direction. He didn't want to go around looking for it alone, and he would probably take Tayuya with him.

It's hard to say how things will develop in the future, but it's the back road left by Naruto. If the worst happens in the future, he can still find more excuses.

So, from the beginning, he didn't think about restricting her freedom, she could go anywhere. It doesn't matter what you want to do, and you don't have any objection to taking over the task of the gold exchange.

But avoid him, that's not going to work.

The so-called soul debt is nothing more than a brand, so that Tayuya always remembers him. Repeated, repeated, debts are virtual, but they grow higher as the relationship deepens.

"What do you mean you don't care?" Duoyu is also a little aggrieved, if it weren't for him, he wouldn't have fallen into the eyes of money.

She didn't care about the money, she didn't care about how she spent it. It's all because he said something to sell his soul, but he started to care about money, but now the soul is faint and says he doesn't care!

"You don't need to pay me back, I can give you a lot of money for as long as you need." Naruto said bluntly.

"So what are you trying to do?"

"What, do you need a reason to give money to someone? Do you need it? I like it and give it. ”

"You like me?" Tayuya asked.

Naruto had to admire her brain circuits, but in a sense, he was trying to figure something. So, she doesn't seem to be right.

"Yes." He nodded.

Tayuya was stunned for a moment, and curled up in the bathtub, without blushing or feeling of joy or disgust. Just stared blankly ahead, staring at the plain tile.

Naruto subconsciously sensed that something was wrong, but he remained calm. He watched Tayuya curl up like a kitten leaving the house for the first time, and a nervous look appeared on his face.

He didn't know what Tayuya was nervous about, but he knew that he needed to say something now to calm her emotions.

"I'm willing to pay for you, and it's not entirely for nothing. You remember, when we were in Konoha, we ate a lot together. ”

"I didn't have any friends during that time, so the two of us should know each other, even though you lied to me at the time. But I guessed it a long time ago and didn't care. ”

Naruto blinked, laboriously uttering such a passage.

"We have an emotional foundation, and when we eat and play together, it's easy to have a good feeling. That's why I'm willing to give you money, mainly because I'm not short of money. ”

"Do you like that, that's why you give money?" Tayuya asked in a muffled voice, "So the few times I was good to me in Konoha was also because I liked it?" ”

"That's right." Naruto nodded.

"But I don't have anything to like, I don't even know what I like." Duoyu also said a little confused, "If you like it, do you give money to spend?" ”

"It's not all like that, giving money is just a sign of liking." Naruto didn't know why he was going to get the subject around money, but for now he could only try to quibble.

"There's a lot to like about you, such as"

"For example?" Damn, Tayuya looked up at him.

Naruto was speechless for a while, and it was really not a simple matter to find a few advantages from Tayuya for a while. Although he loves bathing, loves cleanliness, and is not embarrassed to be able to play with him, it is also a good advantage for Tayuya.

But these advantages are not enough on the bright side, at least to say them will make people think, ah, that's it, similar disappointment.

But now Tayu is also watching him, and if she is disappointed at such a time, things may become more difficult. In a hurry, he was not allowed to think more.

"Install air conditioning!"

"Huh?" Tayuya was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand what Naruto meant.

The water in the bath is clear and completely transparent. Bursts of water rippled, reflecting Tayuya's stunned face.

"You're going to install an air conditioner." Naruto gestured with his hand with a little weakness, "Have you forgotten?" That time, you came to my house in Konoha pretending to be a staff member who installed air conditioning at the door. ”

"Oh, that's not a pretense, we don't have money to eat. I can only do that for the time being, and by the way, I will find out the information. Tayuya explained, "So, that's also an advantage? ”

"Doesn't that count? Girls who can install air conditioners are very powerful, right? Naruto said solemnly.

"Really?"

"Really." Naruto nodded, he did think it was cool for someone who could install their own air conditioner.

"I'll do more than that." Tayuya said.

"Huh?" Naruto was also a little flustered, he didn't know if his blind words had any effect.

He saw the girl look up, her long wet red hair covering her small face one by one, and slowly revealed a small cautious smile.

Seeing this, Naruto secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Are you still living there?" Tayuya asked.

"I was gone, something happened, and then I moved." Naruto said, "I live upstairs at 404 Konoha Street now, and I will probably live for a few more years. ”

"Are you going to come here again?" Tayuya had already turned his head away, huddled in the bathtub with his legs hugged, and the waterline was submerging his chin. There were no mood fluctuations in his voice, and Yu Guang glanced at him quickly.

"Yes, I'll probably come back more often after a while." Naruto expected that after a while, when facing Payne, there would be no need to hide the secret of the Nine-Tails Pillar Power if it wasn't for the Nine-Tails.

Since he is not a nine-tailed pillar force, and there are Tsunade and Jilai, he doesn't have so many restrictions.

"Oh." Tayu also nodded.

The atmosphere in the bathroom fell silent, but this atmosphere was already weird, after all, who would be reasonable in front of the bathtub. Normally, this is perverted behavior.

Naruto, who realized he should quit, coughed slightly, "That. You take a bath first, and I'll go to the toilet downstairs. ”

Hearing this, Tayuya suddenly got up from the bathtub with a bang, which scared Naruto a lot.

"What's wrong with you?" He asked.

Tayuya didn't seem shy at all, just stared at him in the eye for a second or two, and then walked out of the bathtub dripping with water. He passed by him and ran straight out of the bathroom.

Under the bright yellow light, Naruto was slightly confused.

"Ran away?"

Isn't this shy reflex arc a little too long? Did you run straight back to your room? But that's fine, this time it's okay.

As long as she didn't want to avoid him, it didn't matter how much she wanted, even if it was a little farther away. As long as she approves of this place, she will come back eventually.

She has nowhere to go, so at least this place should be her nest.

As long as she can think about coming back, as for the question she pondered, why should she be good to her. Naruto had a hundred reasons to convince her, what reason was needed to be good to someone?

There is no need at all, it is easy to see the color, or simply to pass the time. But none of this mattered, no matter what he did, now he wanted to be kind to her who didn't ask for anything in return.

But no sooner had the thought crossed his mind than the sound of swishing footsteps outside the wide open bathroom door. He turned his head to look at it, why did his heart come back again?

Outside the bathroom door, a jade-like girl was holding a large handful of Fire Country currency in her arms, and her red hair was wet and sticky to her face.

He held the loose banknotes in front of him and said.

"Here you go, flowers."
