Late at night, Naruto lay on his bedroom bed and thought about everything that had happened these days, still in a trance. Things seem to have been settled, in his way.

If you think about it, there doesn't seem to be a loophole.

First of all, Uchiha Itachi, Nagato, and Obito, things are getting more and more complicated, and more and more people are involved, and sometimes he himself is wondering if he is too profligate.

If you don't hide, forget it, and walk to the front of the stage more and more arrogantly, wanting to make the world run the way you want. Almost, it affected Hinata and Ino.

He is indeed in a hurry, maybe the skills brushed out by the system are so strong that he is always unaccustomed to looking at those people who are jumping outside, and he can't watch the people around him take risks.

Because I didn't want to wait any longer, I simply went to the end myself. So far, the progress is not bad, the country of snow and the country of thunder

Every time he thought about the mess, Naruto wanted to mess around. I can't wait to find someone with a good brain like Shikamaru to help me keep an eye on it, and he can go to it happily.

But what he has to do is too outrageous, and he can't trust anyone. All you have to do is speed up the plan and drag as many people into the water as possible.

The reason why he insisted on pulling more people into the water was not because there was a lot of strength in numbers, maybe there was such a small convenience, but more importantly, it was to keep the group of people shutting down.

The human heart cannot be looked at directly, and he does not want to save the world alone and silently. If it weren't for the destruction of the ninja world, the people he cared about would also die with him, and he didn't even bother to move.

Most of the heroes of the ninja world don't end well, and Naruto knows this all too well, he doesn't feel like he is an accident. If you become a hero, you have to face a lot of problems.

As for the best choice, Sannin has already given the answer. They are powerful, and they will either go away and get away, or they will live according to their own wishes like Orochimaru.

If Jiraiya had stayed in Konoha at the beginning, the end would probably not have been much better than that of Qimu Sumao. But where there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, whether it is Konoha or somewhere else, it is impossible to be full of good people.

If you have a big fist, you can live comfortably anywhere, but people will always be old and will have weaknesses. The hero is in the twilight, the beauty is white-headed, Jiang Lang is exhausted, and his face is thin.

After thinking about it, it's better to get things done early and lie down. Let others do the things that are in the limelight, he only needs one result, and the four seas will be leveled.

In a daze, sleepiness hit, and Naruto fell asleep.

Following.

At nine o'clock in the morning, there was the sound of a key turning outside Naruto's door. The sound of metal gears turning sounded, and the springs clicked open.

The door was pushed open, and Ino walked into the hallway and looked around, frowning at the sight of the dust above the shoe cabinet.

In the bedroom, Naruto heard movement and walked out of the room with his tousled hair on his head. The living room was dim, and he was still holding the doorknob of the room, and he stared blankly at Ino in his home slippers walking towards him.

He blinked, a little skeptical if he was dreaming. Maybe I was dazed and didn't wake up at all. So Naruto shook his head vigorously, but fortunately Ino didn't disappear.

Ino wore a ponytail and a beige crop top with a slim chiffon denim skirt underneath. first glanced at him, crossed his waist, and said helplessly.

"There's dust on the shoe cabinet."

"Ah, I forgot to clean up, I" Naruto looked at Ino's white and smooth face, the slightly reproachful willow eyebrows, and suddenly wanted to kiss it.

in the bathroom.

Naruto stood under the shower head to wash, his mind a little distracted. He didn't expect Ino to take the initiative to find him, and even before he closed his eyes and went to bed yesterday and last night, he had already thought of a cheeky way to tease her.

Ino has a little temper, and he is not the kind of character with soft ears. Maybe it's enough to coax Hinata, but it's not a simple thing to coax Ino.

Surprisingly, Ino took the initiative to find him. The attitude doesn't seem to be so cold and stiff, but it's definitely not enthusiastic.

In the mist, he remembered Ino's slightly dissatisfied face again, and the white and tender waist that Yingying could hold, even if it was not an exaggeration.

But he had never been so nervous, his heart pounding.

What kind of attitude Ino has, he also didn't know a little. I haven't seen each other for a few days, and I haven't been able to get in touch, and I don't know what happened.

On the couch, Ino threw ice cubes into the cold black tea and threw straws into it. Her body leaned slightly, her lips opened slightly, and she bit the straw and took a sip first.

Then he sipped and flattened the straw with his tongue, biting out a clear and neat tooth mark.

After a while, Naruto came out of the bathroom, and this time he didn't have to swing around a yukata and came out to shake it. probably knew that it wasn't the time to mess around, so this guy got dressed honestly.

Ino glanced at him, and was about to take a sip of black tea, but he didn't want to be snatched by Naruto and drank most of it. The cold black tea entered the stomach, and it was so comfortable that his eyes narrowed.

"My parents talked to me yesterday about you." She spoke suddenly.

"What did you say?" Naruto pretended to be calm and sat down across from her.

"You should be able to guess and ask me something about you and me. And Hinata. Ino glanced at him, "Why was he taken away at the same time?" ”

Speaking of this, Ino helped his forehead, pressed his wrist against his forehead, closed his eyes and said in distress.

"It's annoying, I don't want to respond."

Although it was Naruto's fault, he didn't choose to apologize. A dry apology is useless, and solving the problem mainly requires responding to the demands of the other party.

At that moment, several thoughts flashed through his mind, and his eyes blinked and quickly analyzed.

Ino was interrogated by his parents, mainly about the relationship between the three. After his parents visited him, he may have shaken his bottom line.

Cross-examination is to emphasize the answer, what kind of answer they want. It's nothing more than that Hinata's incident was just a misunderstanding, and it has no ambiguous relationship with herself.

In the face of cross-examination, Ino's reaction on the premise of knowing the answer was irritation. If you don't want to respond, you don't bother to say it, or you don't want to respond at all.

Running away shows that she doesn't want to say it herself, doesn't want to lie for him. Ino knew that Naruto and Hinata had a close relationship, but since the two were not actually in a relationship now, they were not a couple.

So, Ino had no way to blame Naruto. After all, strictly speaking, she and Naruto are only in an ambiguous relationship, and Naruto and Hinata are also in an ambiguous relationship.

Probably because of the relationship between Naruto who has often been doing tasks outside in recent years, it has become the norm to gather less and leave more. After a long time, no one seems to have mentioned confirming the relationship.

If you are not a couple, you can't be called cheating or stepping on two boats. Even though they had a relationship, it never seemed like they were glued together like a real couple.

Naruto's practice of blurring the relationship over the years, intentionally or unintentionally, was clearly noticed by Ino, and she was irritated by this Schrödinger's relationship.

Ino didn't know the answer, and naturally, the Yamanaka couple couldn't get a satisfactory answer from her.

Added up, the appeal of Ino in front of him is probably . An accurate relationship. Under marriage, a more definite and solid partnership is above love.

In this way, Fang Caiye's abnormal attitude makes sense.

Tick-tock, Naruto looked at Ino and blinked his eyes twice quickly. At the same time, he thought about the front and back joints clearly, lowered his eyes slightly, and spoke.

"Do you want me to explain?"

"Explain what?" Ino frowned.

"After this incident, I have not been able to contact you, and I have been worried for many days." Naruto lowered his head and muttered for a moment, "I can't sleep at night, and I'm in a trance during the day." ”

This is Naruto's usual method, no matter what, let's throw a sympathy hand first. Then one hand after another, the topic will be actively led to the relationship between the two.

He held his head in both hands, his fingers digging into his golden hair, and said in a slightly hoarse voice.

"I've been waiting for two days and still haven't heard from me, I'm going crazy thinking about you. At night, the house was empty and I couldn't do anything. ”

"Every day. Every night I hold the quilt, I want to hug you all the time and carry you to sleep. Only. Only by smelling your scent can you feel at ease. ”

"I'm also desperate these days, and I'm thinking a lot alone. I think I should have figured it out, Ino, I can't live without you."

"I know I used to be a little greedy and I really was. I really miss you, I can't stand the days without you anymore. Ino, can you forgive me? ”

"I can't." Ino sat on the sofa with his hands crossed, as if he was sulking, "I'm not who you, why should I forgive you?" Why forgive you. ”

"Ino, you. Can you be my girlfriend? Naruto rushed over desperately and hugged Ino, greedily sniffing the aroma around her neck.

This is a lie, but the original preconditions were taken out and placed at the end as a hole hand. Before they become intimate, it's time to confirm the relationship.

But Naruto has too many tricks, and neither Ino nor Hinata are ostentatious people. was busy crying and moved, but let him fool the success in the past.

So, in the face of this completely unpredictable accident, it was played as a hole card. Taking advance as retreat, it seems that the relationship has taken a big step forward, but in fact it is just a step to make up.

Even a small step back.

Ino heard the answer he wanted, and was also a little weak by his sudden attack, and the hairs on his upper and lower bodies stood up.

"I don't know, I'm going to think about it." Ino spoke with an epilogue, and he was already in a trance for a moment.

Saying that thinking about it was basically agreeing, the corners of Naruto's mouth rose slightly, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. This thing is too brain-burning, but fortunately he reacts quickly on the spot.

Ino said that after thinking about it, his heart was indeed shaken. It's just that when I think about the time between him and Hinata, those things she doesn't know, I still feel bored in my heart.

Even though he explained and apologized, she was getting angrier, and yes, she was jealous. Like the relationship that should have been certain but absent, this jealousy came very late.

Maybe it's because of what she said to Hinata in the bathtub six years ago, maybe she's been secretly gambling all along, but she doesn't want to ask.

Anyway, she's jealous and unhappy now.

He kissed all the way down his neck to the corner of his lips, and finally made a dragonfly on his lips, looking at Ino.

"And when will you be able to think about it?"

"I don't know." Ino tilted her head, in fact, she was hesitating now, and there was a high probability that she was biased towards the answer in her heart.

I just don't know why, it's just the last step. But she still didn't want to let the man get it easily, and she was angry and wanted to drag it out.

Naruto didn't react, just froze for a moment. Seeing him like this, Ino felt a little sour in his heart and stood up directly.

"I'm going back."

"Hmm."

“.” Ino was a little incredulous, she forgot to take a step, she was just putting on a show.

In fact, she only needed him to coax again, and she agreed, and even the moment she stood up, she had already thought about it. I didn't expect that. It will be so.

The stone in her heart fell to the bottom in an instant.

Ino breathed a little heavily, pursed his lips and turned to leave. First walked to the entrance and began to change shoes, then walked out of the door and closed the iron door with his backhand.

The corridor was full of sunlight and the cold wind blew finely.

She looked at the shadow of the stairs in front of her and wanted to cry, but she held back the tears from the corners of her eyes. Those expectations in my heart gradually fell short, sinking little by little.

That's fine, Ino thought to himself as he took heavy steps, so be it. Go home pretending not to care, hide and digest alone, and won't bother anyone.

If he really doesn't like it anymore, then bless Hinata. Anyway. Whoever he is with will be happy, and when everyone doesn't find out, he will quietly forget about it.

Thinking about it, Ino had already walked downstairs, and she glanced back at the dimly lit building. No one chased it out, and the last glimmer of hope in my heart was disappointed.

Walking on Konoha Street, the warm sunlight sprinkled on her body, but she didn't feel any temperature at all. Until she saw the flower shop in the mountains from a distance, the grievances in her heart overflowed little by little.

Someone who has liked it for so long, how can it be

She took a deep breath with a shudder and took a step forward, her eyes completely blurred by tears. Suddenly, she felt like she was being grabbed by a huge force.

In the next second, he was suddenly hugged, and a familiar smell came from his nose.

In a cold alley.

Naruto stood in the shadow on the side with the light on his back, and the tip of Ino's shoe was exactly aligned with the yin and yang line made by the sun, and the whole person was surrounded by sunlight.

She jerked her head up, her throat no longer sounding, and she was afraid that she would hear a trill. But her body was still trembling, and tears honestly betrayed her.

"You're not" Ino looked up at him, his voice crying.

"Huh? Haven't you been home yet? You're still a ninja. I've been with you all the way. Naruto said, "I never hesitated to like you, I was just thinking about how to express it. ”

"What about you. Have you figured out what to say now? ”

"Hmm." He lowered his head and kissed her, stroked her lips, and said seriously, "Some people are born to be together, like you and me. (End of chapter)
