"Go back, I'll look for you later." Naruto stopped, turned to Kazeka-chanyuki and said.

"Hmph." Fenghua Xiaoxue looked resentful, and finally left.

"There's only ten minutes left, and the coordinates can't be more precise." He muttered to himself, with a hint of remorse in his tone, "Time is too rushed, it's too rushed." ”

Naruto has an absolute say in the land of snow, even if most people don't know him, and they don't even know what he does if they haven't even heard his name.

But the top brass of the Snow Country knew that there was still a man standing behind their queen, and it was because of this man that the Snow Country was restored to its four seasons.

Not only that, but the first money injected into the development of the economy also belonged to that person. In other words, the Snow Country has been privatized to some extent.

It's just that Naruto came too quickly today, and the higher-ups didn't have time to lick it, otherwise someone would have opened the door for him by now.

Before entering the door, he seemed to think of something, and deliberately tossed his hair a little. I got some cosmetics from the sealed space that was supposed to be given away, and gently smeared some cyan under my eyes.

It looks like the whole person is haggard, and there is a layer of blue-gray eyeshadow under his eyes. Naruto didn't seem to be satisfied, so he took off his clothes and threw them on the ground and stepped on them twice.

After doing all this, he relieved himself and reached forward.

He pushed the door open and saw Hinata sitting on the couch near the floor-to-ceiling window, reading a book, the fireplace burning in the room. In fact, there is no need to burn so strongly, and it is not cold outside.

The servant woman in the room had already withdrawn in advance, and Hinata also knew that Naruto was coming, so she turned around when she heard the movement. Seeing Naruto's haggard appearance, she couldn't help but be startled.

"Naruto! You. What happened to you? ”

"I'm fine." He waved his hand, pretending to be tired, knowing that Hinata would be worried, and deliberately said, "It's just a small thing, don't worry." ”

"Are you going to be bored here?" Naruto stepped forward and took Hinata's book, leaned down and hugged her, "Won't you be used to living here?" ”

Not seen for a short period of time, physical contact is the fastest way to close the distance.

"No, it won't." Hinata shook her head, her expression was still so gentle, "I'm fine here, I'm just a little worried about the village, I don't know my father and them"

"They're fine." Naruto did know, "Ninji and Xiao Li were a little injured, but fortunately, there was no major problem, and the village was almost safe." ”

"That's good." Hinata looked up, looking like she wanted to say something, "I think."

"If you're bored, how about I bring the fireworks over to accompany you?" Naruto interrupted her, he knew what Hinata wanted to say, nothing more than to go back to the village.

It is impossible to return to the village to return to the village, at least not now, it won't be too long to wait, just wait for him to find the Yin Bi of the medicine master, and Konoha will naturally be safe.

After the Uchiha Obito incident, Naruto understood that when facing a strong enemy, especially a shameless strong enemy. You must not put your weaknesses together, you have to separate them.

The pharmacist has no mother, so he naturally doesn't know what it means to be in trouble with his wife and children.

In the face of such a person who does not speak of martial virtues, Naruto has to be cautious on the one hand, and on the other hand, he has to be more extreme than Yakushidou. Let Yakushi be frightened and never dare to make a move on Naruto again.

"No, it's too much trouble." Hinata shook her head and stopped insisting.

Seeing that Naruto was already tired of the war, she didn't want to cause trouble for Naruto. Besides, Hanabi doesn't necessarily like it here, and bringing it will alarm my father.

"How can it be troublesome?" He pinched Hinata's face and said with a smile, "Anyway, Hanabi can stay in the village and be idle, and it is enough for the clan affairs to have a Hinata adult." ”

"Isn't that tiring father?" Hinata said worriedly.

Tired? It's right to be tired, and the provincial Hinata Hinata thinks blindly every day. In times of war, isn't it good for people to trust each other more? Naruto wished Hinata Hinata was busy, preferably the kind where his feet didn't touch the ground.

"Probably not, the ability of the Japanese foot is still very strong, you don't have to worry about so much." He touched Hinata's head and said with a smile.

"It's okay if the fireworks are here, at least someone will talk to you."

"Hmm."

Ten minutes passed quickly, and Naruto naturally shifted the content of the chat to the tonic that Hinata ate every day, and said without a trace.

"By the way, I know that there is another place in the Snow Country that sells supplements, which is very good for your body. You wait, I'll bring it back and eat with you. ”

"I'll go with you, just to go out for a walk." Hinata was about to get up, but was held down by Naruto.

"Don't worry, wait until you're done eating and then go for a walk, that place is too far away." He said, "You wait for me here, I'll go and go back, good." ”

"Okay, okay." Hinata should be down.

Watching Naruto's figure disappear behind the door, Hinata's brows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't help but wonder if Naruto was going to take the opportunity somewhere.

It seems that he doesn't seem to be going to buy supplements, he should be thinking about it himself.

After going out, Naruto rolled over and jumped off the outer wall of the palace, found an attendant who was placed here by Kazeka, and arranged some things casually.

Half a minute later, his figure reappeared in the land of the Konoha Mountains.

Seeing that it was not too late, Naruto changed the dirty clothes on his body again, did not forget to wash the gray under his eyes, and walked into the courtyard as if nothing had happened.

Ino was eating a snack on the second floor, and when he turned his head and saw him walk in, he immediately waved at him.

"Where?"

"Walking around the neighborhood and almost falling down." Naruto's expression was natural, and without waiting for Ino to ask anything else, he had already sat down beside her and took the snack from her hand.

"What about your father?"

"How?" Ino was really distracted and said dissatisfied, "I ask where my father is every day, and I don't usually see you care about him so much?" ”

"It's not that I'm afraid of being trained, I know where your father is, so I'm prepared, and it's easy to find a direction when I run."

"Good! You want to run away and leave our mother and son alone, right? Woooooooo ”

"How do you know it's a mother and child, and the baby told you in advance?"

"Intuition, my intuition." Ino raised his head and snorted, "What about you?" Would you rather have a son or a daughter? ”

"Daughter."

"Why?"

"I can't tell, intuition."

The two chatted in a low voice, and lunch had already started early. The elders of the Yamanaka clan didn't have a good impression of Naruto, but they didn't look at Naruto again after saying hello.

The banquet was a little boring, he was not in high spirits, and he just talked with Ino. Fortunately, no one jumped out to accuse Naruto until he finished eating, and it was considered smooth.

Taking advantage of Ino to rest, Naruto returned to the Land of Snow again.

I changed back into dirty clothes and rubbed against the wall again, and then I felt satisfied. He looked left and right, summoned the attendants he had arranged earlier, and asked.

"Everything is ready, right?"

"It's all ready, Naruto-sama."

"Alright, we'll get started when I get in." He glanced at the attendant and felt a little uneasy, "What time is it?" Have you had lunch? ”

The land of snow is thousands of miles away from Konoha and has a two-hour time difference in between. Although he is a little supportive now, he is still worried about the meal, after all, he promised Hinata.

"Not yet, it's still a while before lunch." The squire replied.

"Hmm."

Walking to the door, Naruto smeared a little gray under his eyes again, straightened his expression and took out the tonic from the sealed space.

Similar supplements were piled up in his sealed space, and there was no need to buy them at all. A large part of the reason why Snow Country supplements are precious is because he took more than half of them, and the artificial hoarding of goods has caused them to be scarce and expensive.

"I'm back." Naruto pushed open the door and looked like he was hurrying back with the supplement, "Hungry, let's go to lunch together?" ”

"Okay." Hinata got up, took the tonic, and looked at Naruto's tired appearance a little uneasy, "Actually, I don't need those things either, it's too much trouble to run around." ”

"It's okay, I don't feel tired, let's go."

When the two went out, Hinata suddenly saw roses on the floor in the corridor, and the last trace of doubt in her heart disappeared.

~~

"Shikamaru, leave me some!" Ding Ci picked up a piece of barbecue meat and swallowed it in one gulp, "What about Ning Ci?" Why is it just the two of us? ”

"They're back in the village." Shikamaru said angrily, "This year is the New Year's Festival, and only we will be left in this ghost place to continue to be on duty." ”

"You also said that this is a ghost place, so I said it." Ding Ci gulped down the barbecue, his mouth slurred, "It's really restrained to be watched by my father." ”

"It's not like you can't find a reason, so it's better to go back to the village." Shikamaru glanced at him obliquely, as if asking why didn't you leave for the New Year?

"I'm not worried about you, I'll go back, and Shikamaru will be left alone." Ding Ci smiled.

Shikamaru sighed, turned around and brought the map and spread it out on the table, deliberately staying away from the barbecue. He pointed to the locations marked on several maps and said with a determined expression.

"Those Bai Jue are controlled by people, and the place and time they appear are different every time, and if there is a riot in Konoha, the other four major powers will stop, maybe the people behind it will not be able to fully control Bai Jue."

"And then?" Ding Ci was still eating barbecue and didn't care much about Bai Jue.

After fighting for so long, people are already a little tired, what is white, black, purple, and blue. Whatever, anyway, with a smart person like Shikamaru to think about, he just needs to fight.

"The person behind the curtain seems to be moving all the time, if you mark the time and location of Bai Jue's activity, and connect it with the map of the five major countries."

Shikamaru seemed to think of something, and was faintly excited.

Ding Ci was not surprised, and ate another piece of barbecue.

"If that's the case," Shikamaru muttered as he buried his head back in the map, "and that's true!" Sure enough."

"It's clear when you put it all together, where the last place where the man disappeared."

"The Land of Water!"

Hearing this, Ding Ci raised his head and secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that it was the country of water. It's okay if it's not in the land of fire, it's still winter, and it's a New Year's festival again.

If you participate in the battle at this time, it is really uncomfortable.

"That can't be helped, the land of water is so far away from us, the road is frozen." Ding Ci said lazily, "Why don't you tell your father the news first and let him decide?" ”

"Well, that's all there is to it for now." Shikamaru said, "It's just speculation for the time being, and there is no concrete evidence, so I'm afraid my father won't be completely convinced." ”

Looking at Shikamaru's serious appearance, Ding Ji suddenly recalled what Naruto had said, he said that Shikamaru was going to be a Hokage in the future, and his ambitions were different from theirs.

"Shikamaru."

"Hmm."

"Are you going to be the Hokage in the future?" Ding Ci asked.

"What?" Shikamaru was a little surprised, and instinctively wanted to deny it, but when he thought of the words of the clan elders, he suddenly couldn't say it again, "Why do you ask this?" ”

"It's nothing, I just thought of it suddenly, and I feel that Shikamaru should be able to do it easily if you want to be a Hokage."

"I don't know." Shikamaru didn't deny that he wanted to become Hokage, maybe he never thought about it, but he was used to doing it first instead of setting a goal.

"Hokage. That's great. Ding Ji sighed, "In the past, Naruto's guy also wanted to be the Hokage, and he said it when he saw people everywhere. ”

"I asked him if he was going to eat popsicles, and he asked me how I knew he wanted to be Hokage, and that guy was a complete idiot back then. When I think about it, it's quite annoying. ”

"yes." Shikamaru didn't want to talk about the Hokage anymore, it was a little awkward.

"Say, what is Naruto doing now?" Ding Ci asked.

Shikamaru thought for a moment and spat out, "Eat." ”

~~

"I can't eat it, I can't eat a bite." Naruto was walking down Konoha Street with his hands on the wall, it was already dark, and he had five meals that day.

It's just that in front of the Yamanaka couple, I can't stop eating, I have to eat some, and Naruto is almost out of order at the end of the day. Fortunately, the first day of the New Year's festival was also successfully concluded, and he was squeezed out twice as much in one day.

Rain hidden.

"What's your posture?" Sakura glanced at him in amazement, leaned against the door and laughed at him, "Why are you leaning against the wall while walking?" ”

"Don't ask, it's a New Year's festival today." Naruto took two steps and didn't look at her, "Going back and forth between Ino and Hinata, and having to hide it, I think I should die." ”

"What if they guess it?" Sakura said.

"Not really, I put a little thought into it, so I won't talk about it anyway." Naruto waved his hand, unable to tell whether he was exhausted or dejected.

She saw Naruto straighten up, as if muttering to himself, but didn't hear what he was saying.

"What did you say?"

"It's nothing, today is the New Year's Festival." He sighed and turned to look at Sakura.

"So?"

"What else can I do when I take you home?" Naruto said, "Next year will be more of a thing, and it won't be so peaceful again." ”

"Okay, then I'll go get something." Sakura lowered her head and pursed her lips.

The hallway was dimly lit, and outside the building was a silent steel tower, and fine snow fell from the dark sky. The footsteps were hard, like crushing crispy biscuits.

"I said." Sakura took a few steps into the house, then walked back quickly, her footsteps crisp, like a wooden stick tapping on a stone.

"What?" He looked at it.

"Did you come back to pick me up on purpose?" Sakura asked, standing by the door, smiling. (End of chapter)
