In Konoha, Naruto lies down

"It's okay, I have it," Naruto said immediately.

"Eh?" Ino took ten steps back, looking at him with disdain, "How could you have something like that? Pervert!!"

"I always have."

"Absolutely, absolutely a pervert!"

"Isn't this a normal thing?" Naruto was puzzled. "Keep a few sets in case of emergency."

"You're just a normal pervert!" Ino leaned against the wall, her eyes losing their brilliance. "Those kinds of people, go die!"

......

Late at night, Konoha Street.

The two walked side by side, talking intermittently.

"The high-level meeting should be tomorrow, right?" Ino said, hands behind her back. "I heard from my father that the Yamanaka clan also wants to express their stance, but we all agree with the Nara clan and the Akimichi clan."

"The pig, deer, and butterfly are of the same species." Naruto murmured, "It is just the way it is."

"You...you don't have to worry, we are all on Tsunade-sama's side." Ino said, "Tsunade-sama is truly amazing, the legendary Sannin and the Fifth Hokage."

"Ah, yeah." Naruto said.

"Anyway, don't worry." Ino glanced at Naruto again and found that he seemed to be getting taller and taller. He was wearing a ninja forehead protector on his head again, and his golden hair was scattered.

"Okay." Naruto didn't say much.

"Well... the fireworks festival will be held in a few days. Will you go?" Ino asked.

"When?"

"Three days later."

Three days later? The 23rd, I think it was Ino's birthday, I can't quite remember. Never mind, I'll just ask Shikamaru and Chouji tomorrow.

"So, do you wear a yukata?" Naruto asked.

"Stupid, how can you not wear a yukata to a fireworks celebration?"

"Then I'll go anyway."

"...You are indeed."

Because Naruto was still thinking about the high-level meeting, he was a little nervous. It was not until he reached the Yamanaka Flower Shop that he suddenly realized what was happening.

"I have to go back." Ino looked towards the Yamanaka Flower Shop. "It seems that mother and the others have gone to bed. It's too late."

"Go."

Naruto didn't leave, but watched her walk to the door of Yamanaka Flower Shop and push it open. Ino reached out to push the door, but was stunned the next moment. The door wouldn't open no matter what she did.

"locked?"

She looked up at the window, which also seemed locked.

I shouted twice, but no one responded.

Ino finally returned to the big blue tree with an outrageous expression on her face. She pointed at the Yamanaka Flower Shop, then at herself, and was so shocked that she couldn't speak.

"Looks like you missed the curfew, what a shame."

"It's only eleven o'clock!" Ino's face flushed.

"Maybe uncle is too busy with work. Anyway, you can't go back now." Naruto grabbed Ino's arm and pulled her towards him.

"Let's go, go back."

"Where?" Ino hurriedly followed, her hair flying in the night wind, and she held it down. "But... I don't have any clothes."

"There are three sets of maid outfits, four sets of aprons, and..." Naruto listed them all, but he soon got his comeuppance as Ino grabbed his waist.

"Go to hell, you pervert, I'm definitely not wearing it!"

"Really? We look like a couple like this."

"What!! No.....that's not happening at all!" Ino denied hastily, "Don't say such weird things! My parents will hear it!"

The two of them were already walking back, talking to each other.

"Ino, your face is so red."

"Huh? Maybe it's because it's too hot." Ino was a little unhappy because she was exposed.

Ino asked quietly to divert attention.

"Um... last time you said you wanted to hide it secretly, right? You tried to hide it from your parents or something, but now it seems like you can't even hide the key."

Ino was talking about how she often went to Naruto's house, and she instinctively felt uneasy.

"There's nothing you can do about that kind of thing even if you know." Naruto suddenly held Ino's hand. The latter stood still and looked at him with her slightly dilated blue eyes like glass beads.

He looked directly into Ino's face.

"What?" Ino's eyes were about to burst into tears.

"Then do something they don't know about." He tempted.

"Have you ever held hands with anyone else?"

"Do parents count?" Ino's voice trembled.

"Not counting."

"What about with girls?"

“I’m envious.”

"What are you envious of? Now... aren't you holding her hand?" Ino was too nervous and sweat quickly filled her palms. She wanted to pull back but was held tightly.

"Hands are so soft."

"Don't say that. It's so embarrassing." Ino bit her lower lip, her face flushed. "...I'm embarrassed by this."

He liked Ino's low attack and defense. Although she looked big-hearted, she would actually panic at the slightest attack and couldn't maintain her facial expression at all.

Is Chapter 116 good to watch?

"Now there's one more thing that no one else knows about, so let's keep it a secret from everyone," Naruto said.

Ino's reaction was huge, her palms were warm and soft.

I let him lead me all the way back home in a daze. It was as if the two of them had gone out for a long walk and came back.

The door was opened with a bang. Without waiting to turn on the light, Ino threw away her hand and rushed into the bathroom with a flushed face.

"Are you okay?" Naruto knocked on the bathroom door.

"fine!"

......

There was no light in the living room. Naruto was lying on the sofa, thinking that it would still take some time for Ino to come out, so he simply closed his eyes and let his consciousness sink into the sealed space.

Tick.

Tick.

Naruto's eyes snapped open, and the mountainous form of the Nine-Tails appeared before him. The DVD player was playing empty, but the Nine-Tails wasn't lying there dozing off, but staring intently at him.

It was as if the Nine-Tailed Fox had known that Naruto would come, and its face was full of vigilance and fear.

"What did you do again? You smell disgusting."

"Really?" Naruto sniffed himself and looked up at the Nine-Tails. "Does the mind have a smell?"

"Of course there will be." Kyuubi said in a tone of teaching a junior, "You have been tainted with another scent, like a curse or something. In short, little brat, stay away from me."

He thought about it carefully, and realized that the curse the Nine-Tailed Fox was talking about could only be the evil god's lackey given by the system. It turned out that the Nine-Tailed Fox, while sealed, could also sense it, so it was likely that it could be contained.

In fact, he wanted to take Danzo in and get a dog with Izanagi's Sharingan.

But Danzo's current combat power is really outrageous. If you don't have the diamond, don't touch Danzo first. After all, you still have to solve the problem of the placement of the Nine-Tails first.

"Kurouma, are you scared?" Naruto suddenly laughed, looking extremely disdainful.

"How could this old man be afraid? I just don't want to get too close to you."

"I see. I'm so sorry." Naruto said this, but the smile on his face became more and more unstoppable. "Kuroma, how about we have a good talk?"

He found that his moral bottom line was getting lower and lower, and he even deceived the fox.

"What's there to talk about with a human kid like you!" Nine-Tailed Fox looked down on the fox, its huge fox head resting outside the red fence, its eyes extremely fierce.

"Go away, you cursed little devil, stay away from me."

"I'm going to be hurt when you talk like that. Don't you have any sympathy for us?"

"What relationship do I have with you? Can you please speak like a human being, not like a..." The Nine-Tailed Fox could not make any facial expressions, but the amazing thing was that Naruto actually saw contempt in its eyes.

"Honestly, Kurama, I'm the one who cares about you the most." Naruto walked closer. "The humans out there are all trying to steal your power. They're either trying to seal you away or use you as a tribute."

"I'm different. Not only have I never thought of using you, I've been thinking about giving you freedom all day long. If you can't do it, go out and ask around. You won't find a Jinchūriki as good as me in the entire ninja world."

The Nine-Tails' gaze shifted and stared at Naruto with suspicion, but did not speak.

"Do you know what kind of life Shukaku of the Sand lives? He spends the whole day in jail chatting with an old man, and then he's sealed into the body of a small fry, being suppressed all day long."

Naruto appealed to the Nine-Tails' emotions and reason, trying to make it feel the difference in quality of life between the tailed beasts.

"Look at you, you watch DVDs every day and have everything you want to eat. Isn't that enough to satisfy you? These are all things I work so hard for outside that I can't bear to eat or buy."

"I can't even earn enough to spend, and I'm desperately trying to save money to buy you toys and food. I already owe 30 million taels of foreign debt, and I hide from the world every day for fear of being hacked to death by debt collectors."

As he spoke, Naruto covered his face with a look of pain. If he really couldn't cry, he would have shed tears in the sealed space.

The Nine-Tails was annoyed just by looking at him, and his brain felt like it was about to explode after listening to Naruto's words.

"Is everything you said true?"

"Of course it's true! I, Uzumaki Naruto, never lie."

"Well... considering that you worship me, I will trust you for once." Kyuubi said hesitantly, "But don't be complacent. This is what you should do."

"As a Jinchūriki, I am guilty. It is all my fault that Kurama-sama has suffered. I repent every day. I often wake up from dreams with indescribable guilt that makes me want to die to atone for my sins."

"......Ah, no, there's no need to feel so guilty." Kyuubi didn't know what to say for a moment.

"I absolutely must. I will work three more jobs for Master Jiu Lama, even if I die of exhaustion."

Naruto's acting became more and more smooth. He thought about all the sad things he could think of in his previous life, squeezed out a few tears, and fell to the ground.

"Even if I have to work like a slave, it doesn't matter. I was born in misery anyway. If offering sacrifices to the Nine-Tailed Fox can give my life a little meaning."

"Even if it's just a little bit...I'm willing."

Jiu Lama was a little shaken. Looking at the thief Sun who fell in the sealed space, he thought about how he had killed both of his parents, and suddenly felt guilty.

"Little ghost...you should...get up first before talking, don't act like this..."

"Huh?" Naruto suddenly found that his consciousness was really fading away bit by bit, as if he was about to exit the sealed space.

"How did he fall asleep on the sofa again? It's really a headache."

"There's no light on in the living room. Aren't you afraid of catching a cold sleeping here?"

Naruto opened his eyes suddenly and happened to look at Ino who was bent over in a bath towel. Her wet hair hung down and a drop of water dripped onto his cheek.

"Ah!" Ino had one hand wrapped in a bath towel, but she was still startled.

The living room was completely dark, visible only by the orange light emanating from the bathroom. Naruto woke up from the sofa and could only see Ino, shrouded in a bright light as bright as a silk thread.

Her skin was hot and red from the bath, the color like a gorgeous flower. Ino suddenly felt like she had nowhere to hide, and her face looked like anger, but she didn't say a word of reprimand.

"Does it look good?" Ino actually asked.

"Cough cough cough!!" He was choked and bent over, coughing continuously. He said, "I'll get you clothes," and immediately rushed into the room.

After saying that, Ino's face turned red and she began to feel a little regretful.

But my mother said that if I didn't say that at this time, I wouldn't be able to impress the man at all, and I'd probably just lose everything. But anyway...

What a shame.

Although she received an unexpected reaction from that idiot, it was unexpectedly cute. Ino stood beside the sofa with her eyes lowered, trying her best to suppress her smile.
