"I'm going back." She hurriedly wiped her tears with the back of her hand, got up and was about to go back.

"Hey! You wait" Naruto grabbed her.

Ino was a little stunned the moment he was pulled, but tears poured out because of inertia. Emotions are not taken back immediately, they are only temporarily interrupted.

He thought about it and hugged Ino directly.

I don't really understand what Ino is crying about, but it doesn't matter so much, anyway, let's coax it first and then ask. He's not a god either, and it's impossible to guess everything.

After some time, Ino sat on the couch and fidgeted a little. After the girl's emotions faded, she may have realized that she was too impulsive, and now she is a little embarrassed.

Naruto took a glass of water from the kitchen and placed it in front of her.

"Thank you." She blushed for a moment, lowered her head and whispered.

It's so embarrassing, she grabbed the sofa with her fingers, so embarrassed that she could directly pull out the three-bedroom apartment. Originally, I was just in a low mood on the road, but as soon as I got here, I couldn't help it.

"Just now." Naruto didn't sit down, standing to the side and looking at Ino, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"Nothing, nothing." She held the water cup and hurriedly took a sip to hide the panic in her heart, "Maybe there have been too many worries recently, so."

Ino remembered that he had just been hugged in the hallway, and immediately stopped his voice, not knowing why he was in a better mood for most of the time. It turns out that hugging it can really be much better.

Her eyes widened in thought, clutching the glass of water in a daze.

"I'm fine, I. I want to go back. Ino suddenly stood up with a red face, glanced at the door, and stammered, "We still have a mission tomorrow, I have to go back and prepare." ”

"It's still early, right?" Naruto walked to the balcony and turned to look back at Ino on the couch, "Stay a little longer, I'll send you back." ”

Ino opened his mouth, refusing to speak.

It didn't seem to matter to stay for a while, she thought so, and nodded her head. Then he didn't know where to look, and his eyes stayed on the edge of the glass.

Subconsciously, his lips opened slightly, and then he was a little depressed.

There was a bang, and the balcony window was pulled open from the outside. Tiptoeing Tom, Nine-Tails heard the movement and poked his head in from the outside, and saw the two people on the other side of the sofa at a glance.

"Damn." The Nine-Tails muttered quietly and crawled in an awkward position on all fours.

"It's back?" Ino stood up.

"Hmm." Naruto and the Nine-Tails met their eyes, saw the disdain in the Nine-Tails' eyes, moved his mouth and said, "I guess I'm going to find an old friend." ”

Nine-tails was stunned, and was about to jump up and slap him, when he was suddenly picked up.

"Does it have a favorite kind?" Ino was a little stuck, but curiosity overshadowed his shyness, and Gossip looked at Naruto with his eyes.

There's a hair! Hmph, Uncle Ben just found another idiot human slave. But the woman was also an idiot and gave herself all the dinner.

Let her go and get the wine, but the place is a bit big, and she almost lost herself. Although it was a bit troublesome, I still had to go down, after all, the wine was much better than what this little ghost bought.

Nine-Tails raised her head arrogantly, without any sense of guilt. As if stepping on two boats, the scum fox smiled with honey, and no longer looked down on this former owner.

"Probably not, even if it's a dog, it's hard to be tempted by that guy." Naruto took a sip of the water glass, realizing that he had made a mistake and put it down in embarrassment.

Fortunately, Ino didn't look this way, and kept teasing the Nine-Tails. And the Nine-Tails looked completely forced, and his eyes were disillusioned to play with Ino.

"Will it raise its hand?" Ino had a lot of fun.

Naruto didn't have any expression, and the heart path of the Nine-Tails could not only raise his hand, but if Ino saw the scene of the Nine-Tails smoothly opening the bottle and pouring tons of wine, he would definitely doubt his life.

After playing for a while, Ino let go of the Nine-Tails, and the two changed their shoes and went out.

A moment before closing the door, Naruto saw the Nine-Tails jump on the couch and pull out a bottle of wine from underneath. The sound of the wave opening the bottle was drowned out by the sound of the door closing, and the thud was cut out.

"Let's go." He turned and said.

He didn't know what Ino was thinking from beginning to end, he was in a bad mood and then went to his house to cry, and after playing with the Nine-Tails, he was in a good mood?

Probably the biggest use of raising nine tails is here, right? After all, the nine-tailed weak group can't see any use, just a tailed beast.

"I don't really have anything to do today, I just don't think I can help you with anything, so." Seeing that there was no one beside him, Ino whispered.

"Huh?" Naruto came back to his senses and looked at Ino in surprise, "There's no need to think like that, I can actually handle it myself." ”

He racked his brains to prove that he didn't need to help. The only one who didn't deal with him was Danzang, and the two advisors just wanted to keep the situation in Konoha balanced.

There's Tsunade and Jiraiya, and there's the Hokage's lineage. As long as there are no accidents, he will not suffer any losses.

Taking 10,000 steps back, at Ino's age, this kind of thing is not something she should consider. Ino was ignorant and too precocious. Knowing some topics that she shouldn't know, she naturally has something to worry about.

"But I want to help you." Ino muffled.

"But the problem is that it's not something you can help with, that kind of thing is actually far from a shinobi, you don't need to keep it in your heart." Naruto explained.

"I kind of know why you're upset." He sighed.

"I've told you about it." Ino muttered.

"No, I'm talking about deep problems." He said, "When you know something you can't solve, and you can't do anything about it, but you think about it, you feel bad." ”

"Next time you try not to think about it, I'm fine. In a few years, when you grow up and become an elite, you will endure it. At that time, you will be capable, and you will not be bad. ”

"It's a few more years." Ino also sighed.

"It's okay, time flies." Naruto said, "Isn't the middle ninja exam about to start soon?" In the future, you will be a forbearance, and the next step is to forbearance, and you will not have time to manage the time when you are busy. ”

Naruto's mouth was a little dry, and he had to give psychological counseling to Ino, and he was suddenly a little depressed. She is not unhappy, but she has psychological baggage.

But Ino has a good personality, and it's hard to be happy for the sake of others, and it's normal to fall into the horns of the bull occasionally.

"You lie to me every time." Ino snorted.

"How can this be considered a lie?" Naruto and Ino walked side by side, their eyes slightly pedestrian, and they remembered the afternoon of a thunderstorm, vaguely remembering that Ino's eyes were bright and his gaze was soft.

"I've been helping you because I like you and don't ask you for the same amount in return. If I help you once, you have to help me once, isn't that too blunt? ”

Ino's body stiffened for a moment, then he walked briskly a few times and walked forward to pull away.

"I don't like you again."

"Last time you"

"Don't talk about last time!" Ino turned his face and said fiercely, "I didn't!" Not me! Don't say it! ”

"Then I won't say." Naruto smiled.

"Don't laugh." She grabbed Naruto by the collar.

"I don't want to laugh either, I just can't help it." Naruto was really happy, as if he had grabbed Ino's little handle, and suddenly figured out why Ino didn't take the initiative to look for him after that time.

Konoha Street was so long that there was no end in sight, and Ino let go of Naruto and walked briskly forward. Rao is like this, and there is still a handful of sweat in his palms.

It's too strenuous to talk to him, shouldn't that kind of embarrassing thing be tacitly forgotten? Damn it! What is like!

It used to be fine, but now the man can't talk about it at every turn, it's too annoying.

His liking is too casual, that guy must like a lot of people, and he definitely likes Hinata too! It's just scum, I really want to give him two punches.

"Ino!" He chased after him.

"Don't call me!" Ino said sullenly, not knowing why his mood had deteriorated.

Naruto asked, poking her arm anyway.

"You really don't have to think like that, I help you out of subjective will, who makes me idle. Knowing that mission is dangerous, I can't watch you die. ”

"Not dangerous." She retorted weakly, it was just an investigation.

"What if." Naruto said, "What if the Akatsuki organization comes back again, Master Jilu is strong but not ridiculously strong. If something happens."

"Okay."

Ino couldn't tell him, but suddenly he felt that it was not bad. If you go on a mission together, it still feels very novel. She actually wanted to say that it would be dangerous for him to go.

But after thinking about it, I was afraid that he would be scolded back, so I still didn't say it.

In a blink of an eye, I arrived at the door of the Yamanaka flower shop.

"I'm going back." Ino lowered his head and said slowly.

"Okay, see you tomorrow." He beckoned.

Following.

Naruto packed his ninja bag early, came back from morning exercise, took a shower, changed his clothes and went straight out. Today is the day of the mission, go to the Temple of Fire to investigate the whereabouts of the undead duo.

If the purpose is just to investigate, the mission is really not dangerous, and if you accidentally bump into the two of you, you just need to retreat.

But the problem is that Asma is too valuable, moving thirty-five million taels. It's all because of the debts left by Asma when he was young, and he had to go with Jilu to be the personal bodyguard of the daimyo.

As a result, he didn't make a name for himself, but he got into a lot of trouble. Gray returned to Konoha and returned to the arms of Hokage's father.

As soon as Naruto walked on his front foot, the Nine-Tails slowly got up from the couch, stood on the ground and dangled for a few seconds before expertly pulling open the balcony window and running out.

The sun was shining outside, and the Nine-Tails skillfully jumped over the rooftops of several houses. I can't remember any way, but its body is completely shrunk now, and everything looks like a tall building.

I only roughly remembered one direction, so I started walking in a straight line. When they came across a building, they jumped over it, along the rooftops, over the alleys of the cul-de-sac, and finally came to a stop by a tall and simple wall.

It whined, like a wolf, like a fox, and not like a dog.

After about a long time, the gates of Hinata's station opened. Out of it came a young girl, Hinata has grown a lot taller, not as thin as before.

is about 1.6 meters tall, probably because of his thin figure, he can be regarded as tall. The short hair also grew long, and it was softly draped over the shoulders.

The forehead is still curved flat bangs, and the eyes are soft and weak. His eyes seemed to be looking for something, and he looked around and found the Nine-Tails squatting there, and couldn't help but smile.

"I brought you this today." Hinata said with a smile and took out a small flask from behind him.

The flask has a funnel-shaped shape and an elongated spout, and its actual capacity is only about two fists. Even if it's full, it won't hold much wine, not as much as the amount of half-bottle of wine in the Nine Tails.

However, the wine in Hinata's hand was expensive, and Naruto would not normally buy it, nor would he be able to buy the wine that was supplied through special channels. Nine-tails wants to drink, but they can't dislike the small amount.

Although it has tried to protest, the woman in front of it will always whisper softly in the face of its begging eyes, "No, you can't drink too much, you won't be able to stand it." ”

Nine-tails was depressed in his heart, and said in his heart that he had eight or nine bottles of wine a day, how could he not stand it.

But it can't really speak, in case it scares her, I'm afraid this little daily guarantee will have to be crooked. How good it is to drink, how much a beautiful death.

I forgot who said it. Anyway, that little ghost says something inexplicable every day, and even with it is taken crookedly.

Anyway, it's good to have wine to drink.

At first, it was a little annoyed by the chattering Hinata squatting next to it, but then it got used to it. Occasionally she can give some response, and probably just raise her paw to shake hands, and the woman will be very happy.

Hmph, simple-minded slave.

"You're here so early today." Hinata touched the head of the nine-tailed dog and took out a white jade plate, the kind that is so expensive that people doubt life.

If Naruto was here, he would definitely kick the Nine-Tails away and play with that saucer again. There are some things that money can't buy, but the eldest princess of the Hyuga family can take them out at will.

The Hyuga family has a big business and a profound heritage.

Hinata felt that it was inconvenient for the fox dog to drink from the bottle all the time, and she couldn't find a suitable plate, so she took one from home casually.

She carefully poured the wine into the white jade plate, which was very shallow, only about a few sips. Nine-tails leaned over the edge and licked contentedly.

The aroma of the wine is overflowing, and the sun is slanting.

Hinata squatted there, looking small, looking like the Nine-Tails tasting wine without distraction. She was babbling something and occasionally laughing.

The smile is clean and the eyes are soft.

"Actually, there is a mission today, but Shino they said that I don't need to go over, they will come in the afternoon. Everyone took good care of me, and although I said that I had become stronger, I always felt that I had not trained enough. ”

Nine-tails looked up, Hinata was stunned for a moment, she actually read the puzzled emotion in the eyes of a dog, crazy.

Naruto-kun's fox dog doesn't seem to be a ninja dog, can you really understand it?

She tensed for a moment, then quickly dismissed the thought, and she saw Nine-Tails lower her head again.
