Ino turned his head away and stopped talking, but Naruto didn't react much.

The matter of the Temple of Fire was unexpected, he definitely wanted to get involved, and Asma and Class 10 would definitely not be able to deal with the undead duo.

Will there be a change if he goes, Naruto himself doesn't dare to completely guarantee it. It would be fine if it was another opponent, but it was an undead duo.

It's not too strong, it's just plain tricky.

When they came to their senses, the two were still walking side by side on the street. With a worried look on his face, Ino hesitated for a long time and turned his head to look at Naruto and asked.

"Is that plan feasible?"

Naruto didn't speak immediately, and said after a moment of silence.

"To be honest, I don't know, I guess I can. I don't want to mess with all that kind of mess, who made my life a mess. ”

Ino was stunned, and his eyes were gray for a moment.

"Okay, don't think about it so much."

She barely squeezed out a smile, "That's a high-level Konoha executive, it doesn't matter if you can't succeed, if you really succeed, won't you make money." ”

Since Ino was also affected, the comfort seemed a little pale.

Naruto didn't need to be comforted, he just couldn't help but complain about the fate of his original body. A messy village, a messy and twisted life.

"yes, I'm making a lot of money." He said lazily, obviously misright.

Ino sighed, glanced at the young man beside him, and took the initiative to reach out and grab him. Naruto felt his hand being grabbed and turned his head to look at her in surprise.

"Look at what, look!" Ino's face was slightly red, and he looked angry, but he didn't let go of his hand, just turned his head away.

It's still daylight, and there are not a few people on the streets. Naruto was a little surprised, seeing that Ino was already embarrassed, he leaned over and asked in a low voice.

"Aren't you afraid of meeting acquaintances?"

“.” Ino threw Naruto out with a snap at that moment, his face turned even redder, like a ripe apple, glared at him and said, "You'd better not ask again." ”

"Oh." Naruto nodded, and with a little more strength he squeezed Ino's palm.

The latter's body trembled violently, and he turned his head reflexively, "What's wrong!" If you pinch it again, I'll want it."

Ino gritted his teeth and raised his fist.

"Don't pinch it." Naruto leaned over and whispered, taking it when he saw it.

Holding hands and grinding sideburns on the street in broad daylight, it is inevitable that people will be noticed, and Ino can't stand it at all. With his head stuffy, he pulled Naruto into an alley and hid for a while, and his red face slowly returned to normal.

The two of them stood at the mouth of the alley, dressed in cool clothes, and Fan the wind with their hands, and the hot wind blew gently. Overhead, there were large white clouds, and in the distance there were green trees.

Naruto crouched on the ground, squinting at the girl at the entrance of the alley, watching fine beads of sweat gather from her forehead. The crowd on the street was noisy, and the sound was passing through little by little.

Hazy, the voice seemed to be separated by a thin layer of paper, and he and Ino were standing at the other end of the paper. Naruto stared at the girl who was fanning the wind and looking left and right.

Ino turned his head to notice his gaze, and was stunned for a moment, looking slightly embarrassed.

"What are you looking at?"

Naruto hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm looking at summer." ”

"Are you stupid? What do you think about summer? Ino tucked the blonde hair scattered on his forehead behind his ears and said with a sneer, "It's summer everywhere, so you don't need to go out of your way to see it." ”

"But it's so sour for you to talk like that."

After saying that, she couldn't help laughing again, and it seemed funny to describe Naruto as something sour.

Listening to Ino's slightly sneering words, Naruto didn't get angry, just got up and looked at her and smiled.

"Ino, you're so cute."

"Huh?.Why do you suddenly say such things all of a sudden!" Ino's face turned red instantly, "You can't talk about me, and I'm a scoundrel!" ”

It's hot and annoying in the summer, and it's sticky all over my body, but I like it too.

"I didn't say anything, you said it yourself." Naruto walked towards the mouth of the alley, then stopped again, and Ino looked out hesitantly.

Naruto gave her time to think and grabbed her hand directly.

"Gone."

Ino's pupils dilated instantly, but Naruto didn't react in the slightest, as if he didn't know. just led her to go, and there was no embarrassment at all.

Glancing back at her, she noticed that Ino's blue eyes were moving uneasily, and she touched her face to hide the uneasiness in her heart.

"Let it go." But her voice was quiet, she said.

Naruto didn't hear it at all, and continued to lead forward, shining in the sun, no need to hide.

"You're one of the Konoha high-ups now." Tsunade glanced at him a little tiredly and said, "Now that you've got your wish, get out of here if it's okay." ”

Naruto was naturally not so heartless, and took the initiative to step forward and pour tea for Tsunade.

The pure things poured out of the gurgling teacups were wafting with the aroma of wine. The scene was slightly awkward, and Tsunade said casually as if he had nothing to do.

"Don't change wine in my teapot without permission in the future, if you are found out by Mute, you will die a miserable death."

The corners of Naruto's mouth twitched, but he forcibly endured it for the sake of today's Daiki.

"Yes, yes, next time."

Tsunade has a bold personality, and seeing that Naruto, who has always had a poisonous tongue, is so well-behaved today, he also knows that he is the one who knows how to repay his kindness. I was relieved, but fortunately it was not in vain.

Tsunade had a drink, and Naruto ran behind her very respectfully and began to pound his back and squeeze his shoulders, looking like a dog's leg in front of the saddle and behind the horse.

After all, Tsunade is really not thin on him, although he didn't say anything, but he still knows who he is busy for during this time.

If you don't have a little bit of vision, it's too bad.

There is no good for no reason, and there is no hate for no reason. Tsunade's kindness to Naruto originated from the sword he blocked for Tsunade, as well as the dragon claw hand that was 404.

But this is not worth Tsunade's unilateral and continuous care, some things are just reciprocated. Since Tsunade is good for him, he also tries his best to cooperate with Tsunade.

Even though he has a lazy personality, Tsunade doesn't shirk anything he asks him to do. Tsunade cultivated him as Hokage, and he explicitly refused, but he wasn't so uninteresting.

"Yes, the technique of pinching shoulders has improved." Tsunade snorted, took another sip of wine, and said comfortably, "You still have a little conscience." ”

"It's my responsibility to share Tsunade-sama's worries." Naruto said very doggedly, and then asked cautiously, "Tsunade-sama, why did the higher-ups let go so easily?" ”

"Easy?" Tsunade's eyebrows furrowed slightly, her plump body trembled, and she turned her head to stare at him, "Who told you that this thing was easy?" Originally, the top level was completely opposed. ”

Halfway through, Tsunade stopped again. Naruto asked as he worked hard to contribute his value.

"How did you agree then?"

"You don't need to know that, anyway, Kakashi is speaking for you, and you should go and see your teacher when you go back." Tsunade said.

"If nothing else, the position of the Sixth Hokage is Kakashi. Among the younger generation, there is no one other than Kakashi who is more suitable to take over. ”

"Okay." Naruto didn't know why Kakashi was able to appear at the Konoha high-level meeting, it stands to reason that Kakashi was just an elite shinobi.

There are only a few core high-level leaders in Konoha in total, counting the other high-level leaders who play soy sauce, unless Kakashi is the head of the dark force can serve as the high-level meeting.

It's just that as the former teacher of the seventh class, I'm afraid it doesn't have that much weight.

"Tsunade-sama has been busy lately?"

"That's it"

Tsunade enjoyed a massage and drank at the same time, chatting with Naruto about something to do, his wide robe. This little wine doesn't make Tsunade anything, it can only be regarded as warming up.

"I heard you want to take the middle ninja exam?" Tsunade asked casually.

"Well, just thinking about it, I haven't decided yet." Naruto replied, "I've been a little idle lately, so."

He stopped, because he had already sensed Tsunade's deep dissatisfaction, and quickly changed his words.

"I just want the name of a middle ninja, I can't always endure it at the moment."

"Whatever you want." Tsunade said, "You can participate if you want, it's not a big deal anyway." It's just that you have to know that this high-level identity is attached and has no real power. ”

"It's good to have a name." "I don't want to be really busy. ”

Tsunade: "."

"In a few days, I will take you to the high-level meeting to see and learn, and by the way, show your face before the Zhongnin exam, and you can be regarded as officially in Konoha with your name."

"It's . Is it officially debuting? ”

"What's that?" Tsunade asked, frowning, strange words always popping out of the kid's mouth.

"Nothing, nothing."

"Tsunade-sama, is Sakura-chan's illness serious?" Naruto continued to squeeze his shoulders as he didn't leave a trace to bring the conversation to Sakura.

"She seems to have been hospitalized, and I went to Konoha Hospital a few times to see no signs of waking up."

"It shouldn't be a problem." Tsunade sighed, "Everything in the body is normal, but people just can't wake up." ”

The Hokage is busy, and even if Sakura is a disciple of Tsunade, it is impossible for her to put everything down and guard Sakura all day. Besides, Sakura's body itself has no problems, but she can't wake up for the time being.

In the face of such an incurable disease, even Tsunade has no good way in a short period of time, so he can only observe for a while.

"So you have to wait?" Naruto was slightly stunned, he didn't have any good solutions, the cause and effect were not clear.

"There's no way now, wake up and watch again." Tsunade said, "Wait, it won't last long." ”

"Okay."

Naruto continued to squeeze his shoulders until Tsunade was no longer needed, and he slowly left the Hokage's office.

Outside the Hokage Building, Naruto's eyes narrowed as he looked at the dense and dazzling sunlight on the road.

Sakura's matter did make him a little concerned, but the current situation is the same as Tsunade said, so he can only wait and see, waiting for Sakura to wake up on her own.

With a slight sigh, he walked in the direction of Konoha Hospital.

The three sisters and brothers of Shayin have already been discharged from the hospital, and they probably signed some agreement with Konoha again. In short, Konoha recognized my Airo's identity, and it was Masako Hachijing who treated him as the future wind shadow.

Without him, the Tailed Orcs are irreplaceable.

The accident that happened some time ago was nothing more than a conspiracy against Iara, but the conspiracy will always disperse one day, and the rest of the high-ranking people in the Sand Hidden Village are not fools.

With a slight movement of their simple brains, they can figure out the importance of my Airo to the Sand Hidden Village.

After the haze of things passes, Sand Hidden Village will automatically start to clear the high-level forces that attacked me like white blood cells, which is a broken tail to survive.

His own tailed orc pillar force is staying in Konoha's territory, and staying for one more day will be one more hidden danger for Sand Hidden Village and even the entire Wind Country.

Konoha Hospital.

Carrying a bouquet of flowers, Naruto drove up the stairs, through the hallway filled with the smell of disinfectant water, and finally stood in front of a hospital room.

He didn't knock on the door, but looked inside twice. Usually at this time, someone is watching, either Sakura's parents or the seniors of the medical class.

Even though Sakura has been transferred from the medical department, the ninjas in the medical class have a good impression of Sakura who works diligently. Since Sakura was hospitalized, it has been almost spontaneous to take turns to take care of.

The medical team sat on a chair by the wall to catch up on sleep, and Sakura lay quietly on the hospital bed for an infusion, and her state seemed to be the same as the other day.

Pushing the door in, the medical ninja woke up more and more.

"Oh, you're here?" Seeing Naruto more and more, he got up with a yawn and patted him on the shoulder before leaving, "You look at it, something calls us." ”

"Okay." Naruto answered.

He didn't have much friendship with the people in the medical class, he just had a familiar face. Most of the time, when I woke up in the hospital, I saw Sakura.

Swapping the flowers on the table, Naruto sat down in the same place he had ever sat on.

I yawned and went into the night.

Seeing patients is a very tiring job, and he has learned from Yukou that Sakura's parents have asked them for a day, and someone will come tomorrow morning.

Looking out the window at the night, he decided to stay up until morning.

In the middle of the night, all around was quiet.

The room was brightly lit, and when he got up to receive water, he suddenly heard a muffled snort in the ward. Suddenly, I almost couldn't hold the cup steadily.

Awake?

He didn't care about receiving water, so he put the water cup on the table casually, and walked to the hospital bed in three steps and two steps.

Sakura-chan frowned, and an inexplicable voice came out of her throat, as if she was about to wake up. Naruto was nervous and turned around to call the medical staff on duty.

As soon as the front foot turned around, he was pulled out of the corner of his clothes in the next second.

Sakura's expression was a little confused, and her little hand grabbed the corner of Naruto's clothes as if she was grasping a life-saving straw. Naruto suddenly became less anxious, and his eyes met Sakura's eyes.

"Sakura-chan?" He asked.

"Hmm." Sakura's face was a little weak, and she also stared at Naruto for a while before recognizing the person, "Naruto, why are you here?" ”

The tone was so familiar that Sakura woke up.

I don't know why, obviously what Naruto thought in his heart before was that it didn't matter, no matter who woke up. Whether it's pink cherry blossoms or black cherry blossoms, it's good for him.

But when it really came to that moment, his heart was still disappointed. The scales could only be seen at the moment they tilted, and his scales were clearly tilted in favor of Kurokura.

He liked the girl who said that if she stood there and waited for him, she would definitely stand motionless, and her slender figure was like a weed. But she is not a weed after all, she is a living person.

She has really seen this world, and after she knows what is normal, she knows that she is not normal. After seeing other people's happiness, I realized that I was just a substitute.

It's not fair, if a person's right to suffer is denied, then life is worse than death.

He hoped that Sakura would be kept, but unfortunately he didn't convince himself until the end. But whether Kurosa had the right to choose or not, he didn't dare to think about it.

Even though it was Sakura-chan, nothing seemed to have changed.

But Naruto knew, but it was precisely because only Naruto knew that he felt a slight bitterness in his heart. The moment Sakura spoke, he understood the meaning of what Sakura had said.

She's too smart, she's not as smart as she is.

Naruto remembered her completely, in a painful way, only he could be miserable. This pain does not come from loss, but from the sorrow of not being able to find the person.

As Sakura had told him before, if she disappeared, no one would remember. Now, Naruto knew she really existed, but he couldn't tell anyone.

He alone will always remember him until he dies.

"Naruto, I want to drink water." Sakura curled up and said weakly.

"Oh oh, good!" Naruto snapped back to his senses, as if a small wound had been torn out in his heart, and he walked to a corner of the room and brought the glass of water.

The moment he handed it over, Naruto was slightly distracted. Suddenly, a faint pain came from the tip of the index finger of his right hand.

Naruto's pupils dilated slightly.
