In Konoha, Naruto lies down

The fleeting beauty made her feel inexplicably shocked. She turned around to see her sister's reaction, but found that Hinata was stammering and nervous.

"Are you feeling unwell?" Hinata Hanabi asked with concern.

Hinata shook her head, then nodded and said with a forced smile.

"I feel a little tight in my chest and want to walk around."

"Sister, let me go back with you." Hinata Hanabi said as she came closer.

"No, no, no!" Hinata waved her hands hurriedly. She was not good at lying and her face turned red instantly. "I can walk by myself. I...I will go back by myself."

"The fireworks display is almost over now. I'll stay with my sister."

"Okay...okay." Hinata lowered her head.

"Hanabi, you stay." The elder family member, whose back was to the two of them, Hyuga Hiashi, spoke in a stern voice, "Come with me to meet the Nara family later."

"Oh." Huahuo said a little disappointedly.

"Well...I'll be leaving first. My apologies." Hinata bowed nervously, then looked up and saw her father turning around, nodding slightly.

Chapter 127 Hinata Wants Not to Be Shy

Having received the approval of the head of the family, Hinata Hiashi, she was so nervous that she felt as if her heart was pounding in her ears and her face was burning red. She only breathed a sigh of relief when she saw her father and Hanabi slowly leave.

As the night wind blew, Hinata pursed her lips slightly, looked around blankly, and suddenly realized that she had no idea where to go.

This is a mountain road. A little further up is the entrance to Hokage Rock. You can reach Hokage Rock by following the winding path. On one side of the road is a low cliff, and on the other side is a deep forest.

Following the direction of the woods, there is a small forest lake. If you go deeper, the forest road will become open and you will encounter several mountains in front of you.

At the end of the mountains is a cliff that cannot be jumped over. The other side of the cliff is connected to the border between the Konoha Forest and the Fire Country Forest. From there, you can go down along the narrow plain to reach the Valley of the End.

The sound of fireworks exploding was endless, and Hinata covered her ears because she was close to the Hokage Rock.

"What should I do? I forgot to ask if Naruto-kun will come?"

There was a rustling sound in the bushes, and Hinata was about to turn to see, but she almost bumped into someone's arms.

"Hinata, are you looking for me?" the man said.

"Ah!" Hinata took a few steps back and lost her balance.

Naruto was quick to pull Hinata back from the cliff edge and said, "I'm sorry I scared you by appearing so suddenly."

".....It's okay, um." Hinata stared at her hand that was being held, her face flushed.

"Ok?"

Following Hinata's gaze, Naruto also noticed that he was holding her hand, but he didn't let go immediately. Instead, he squeezed it slightly, and a firework happened to go off.

Hinata blinked, her mouth slightly open.

Seeing no sign of panic in Naruto's eyes, he smiled and said, "This is all part of the training."

"heitui!"

The Nine-Tails, who was held in Naruto's arms with one hand, spit out a very human-like sound, interrupting the charming scene.

"What is that? So cute!" Hinata exclaimed, and tried to pull her hand away but found that she couldn't do it at all.

She looked at Naruto, but he looked completely confused.

Kyuubi got angry when he was called cute and was about to fight back, showing off his telegraph fox style, but was spotted by Naruto from the corner of his eye and grabbed Fate's throat with his arm.

"Ahem! This is a stray dog ​​I picked up on the street. I was planning to breed it."

"Match..." Hinata said halfway, then realized that something was wrong and swallowed it back.

The threatened Nine-Tails stopped making trouble and curled up quietly. Naruto explained while playing with Hinata's little hand.

"That's just the plan. I haven't made up my mind yet. If it's too aggressive, I'll send it for breeding."

"Hinata, you can touch it if you like."

Hinata was a little at a loss as she felt the kneading sensation coming from her palm.

But I thought to myself that Naruto-kun was also working very hard to overcome his weaknesses, so how could I back down? Thoughts like that.

In short, Hinata decided to control the number of times she was shy.

She was always too easily shy in front of Naruto-kun. After repeated review and thinking, the girl came to the conclusion that she could no longer be so shy.

"Is it okay?" Hinata asked tentatively.

"Well, it doesn't bite." Naruto said, "I think it probably doesn't want to breed yet, so it will be very well behaved."

Hinata blinked, and the Nine-Tailed Fox's eyes were dim, and he was forced to perform.

"It feels like... fox fur, so warm." Hinata lowered her head slightly, looked at the Nine-Tailed Fox in Naruto's arms, and a smile from the heart appeared on her face.

It was a relaxed smile that was never seen on Hinata's face normally. It was steady and gentle. She was not the eldest daughter of the Hyuga family at all, but the young Hinata.

It turns out that Hinata likes such fluffy things, but it seems that most girls like such cute things that feel warm and fluffy.

That cute look almost made Naruto blurt out, "If you like it, I'll give it to you."

But if you say that, it will be really troublesome, because that is not an ordinary puppy, but a nine-tailed fox in the appearance of a puppy.

"...Thank you, Naruto-kun." Hinata blushed again, "I...I want to go back."

"Ah? So fast?" Naruto was still playing with his little hands, trying to delay time.

"Yeah." Hinata nodded, extremely nervous.

"Do you like pinching little girls' hands so much?" A slightly angry voice came from not far away, sounding unusually familiar.

Naruto turned around and saw Ino standing there with her hands on her hips and Yamanaka Rino covering her mouth and laughing.

"That child is really popular." Mrs. Yamanaka laughed, with a completely gloating expression on her face.

Hearing this, Naruto suddenly felt a little embarrassed and seemed to inadvertently block Hinata's way. Hinata suddenly pulled her hand away as if she had been electrocuted, and her face instantly turned red.

She couldn't stand this scene at all. She took a few steps forward and paused for a moment when passing by Ino and Mrs. Yamanaka, then lowered her head and bowed.

After saying "excuse me", the two of them bowed in return, and then Hinata blushed and left quickly.

The night wind was cold, and suddenly only three people were left on the low cliff road.

Ino frowned. She wasn't angry because the guy pinched Hinata's hand, but she felt a little bit jealous when she saw him blocking the attack for Hinata.

"Aunt, this dress looks really nice." Naruto subconsciously felt that Mrs. Yamanaka was the key person, and greeted her, "Standing together with Ino, they look like sisters."

"Hmph." Ino interrupted the spell, "My mother won't fall for that!"

"Yeah." Yamanaka Rino covered her mouth and laughed, "I'm not a girl anymore, Ino really likes this."

"Mother!" Ino pulled Yamanaka Rino and said coquettishly, "He's a pervert! Ignore him, let's go back!"

After saying that, Ino glared fiercely in Naruto's direction.

Naruto felt helpless and could only stand there awkwardly touching his face. He had no idea that he would be caught after just a short while.

"That's the Hyuga family's child, right?" Mrs. Yamanaka asked with a gentle smile.

"Yes, we met by chance." Naruto told the truth. No matter how gorgeous the lie is, there will be flaws. Sincerity is the killer move.

"What a cute child." Yamanaka Rino looked at the slightly dirty fiery red puppy in Naruto's arms and added with a smile, "Is that a puppy? Ino likes it too."

"Yes." Naruto responded. He didn't know whether the cute child that Yamanaka Rino was talking about was him or Hinata, but he understood the additional words.

"Thank you, auntie." He said with a smile.

Yamanaka Rino nodded slightly and said.

"Ino, Mom has something to do and needs to leave first. Can you go back by yourself?"

"Ah?...Oh." Ino hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.

Chapter 128: Maybe there will be a fool who wants to marry you in the future

"Excuse me." Yamanaka Rino, wearing a small-patterned yukata, bowed to Naruto, and Naruto hurriedly returned the greeting.

Suddenly, Naruto and Ino were the only two people left on the dim road. The fireworks display had ended, with only a few scattered fireworks occasionally lighting up the night sky above Hokage Rock.

Before she knew it, Ino realized that she hadn't noticed her mother had left, and she suddenly came to her senses.

"I want to go back."

After saying this, she turned around and left in a huff.

"Do you know the way?" Naruto trotted over and caught up.

"Sorry, I remember it very clearly." Ino didn't want to pay attention to him and quickened her pace as if she wanted to get rid of someone she disliked.

"Maybe they forget. Aren't there always people like that?" Naruto was not at all discouraged and continued, "For example, people who forget their birthday."

Snap, Ino stopped abruptly and lowered her head.

"How did you know today was my birthday?"

"I checked." Naruto walked in front of Ino and blocked her way with his body. "I think your birthday will be very busy. After all, it's a fireworks show today."

"So?" Ino asked, "You pervert, you're just hiding here and touching Hinata's hand?"

"This is an accident." Naruto said with a wry smile, "I just ran into him by chance. I ran to the woods to catch a dog."

"Really?" Ino raised her head and glanced at him with some dissatisfaction. Seeing that he was dirty and covered with grass debris, her brows relaxed.

"Why catch a dog for no reason?" Ino muttered.

"Don't you like dogs?"

"You're lying! My mother told you that!"

"Oh, did you hear it?"

"Don't treat me like air, okay? I was standing right next to my mother and heard her leak the secret to you with my own ears!" Ino puffed up her face, looking completely dissatisfied.

"I can give you this dog," Naruto said, "but it's a bit shy and will steal things like underwear and panties. Maybe it will return the things to its previous owner, which is me."

"Roar!" The Nine-Tailed Fox was a little dissatisfied and made a roaring sound in its throat.

"Oh, a little fierce."

"...I don't want a perverted dog like you!" Ino couldn't help but take a step back.

"Ino, you're blushing."

"I...I won't blush over something like this!"

"By the way, I've seen your panties. But don't get me wrong, I was just helping you fold your clothes and accidentally saw them. I didn't do anything weird at all."

"Pervert!!!" Ino showed a look of disdain, "Only you would do something like freezing the bath water!"

"That's kitchen water."

"Who would believe that? Pervert!"

"Anyway, it's still early. Do you want to move on to the second half of the birthday party?" He stretched out his hand towards Ino, and with his other hand held a weak fox that had become a lackey.

Just as Ino was about to reach out her hand, she suddenly remembered the moment when he blocked for Hinata for the last time, and immediately retracted her hand.

"Hmph, I can walk on my own."

But after Ino took two steps out, her stomach growled.

The surroundings were a pitch-black wilderness, so quiet that only the chirping of insects could be heard. The small fireworks couldn't rise very high into the night sky, but when they reached their highest point, they exploded, bringing a moment of splendor.

Ino was so embarrassed that she wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

"You're not eating on your birthday?" Naruto asked with a hint of amusement.

"Hmph!" Ino glared at him with a blushing face. "You can't eat a full meal before putting on a yukata. Your belly is too fat to tie up your waist. How can you eat with your waist and chest tied up with a belt?"

"Occasionally, I would spit out a small bite, and I would sip water in small sips."

"It's really hard having a birthday and a celebration collide with each other," Naruto said.

"It's really too much trouble for everyone to celebrate separately, so we just celebrated together." Ino said, "I don't mind. Every year at this time, my mother would accompany me to the fireworks festival."

"Surprisingly sensible."

"Isn't this a very normal thing?" Ino couldn't help but retort.
