In Konoha, Naruto lies down

After Naruto released her mouth, she took a deep breath and said dissatisfiedly.

"The relationship between the Kingdom of Birds and Konoha is average. Even if you are a ninja from Konoha, you can't..."

Naruto interrupted her without paying any attention to her.

"We have already found out that the Imperial Master Meng Zong is the leader of the wandering ninjas. He was the one who killed your father and brother."

"What?" Zhu Lu was stunned. "How did you know?"

"The counselor Hong Ming has been framed and taken away by Meng Zong. As the Daimyo of the Bird Country, you'd better take your men and rush over to stop Meng Zong now."

"Why should I trust you?"

"I knew you would ask that." Naruto smiled and suddenly slapped her. "Wake up, I'm a Konoha ninja. What do I want from you?"

"you!!"

"Snapped!"

"I am going to kill you!"

"Clap!"

Ibis's face suddenly became swollen, and it whimpered and dared not shout anymore.

"I hate troublesome employers like you. For such a small reward, do you still want us to die?" Naruto said, "You are so incompetent that you can't figure it out."

"Now that I've told you the answer, why are you being so arrogant?"

Zhu Lu was slapped several times, his eyes widened, staring at the yellow-haired man with an incredible look. But Naruto frowned slightly, and it was obvious that he had no intention of stopping.

Seeing that the man was about to raise his hand to slap him again, Zhu Lu wanted to resist but was afraid of Naruto's high-temperature melting technique.

"Okay! I'll go!"

"What do you mean you go? This is what you should do. Aren't you the Princess of Vengeance?" Naruto looked down at Zhu Lu, "Go now."

Chapter 160 Difficult to coax

Naruto didn't know much about Princess Toki.

But there are too many derivative paintings of the Princess of Vengeance. You don’t want your brother’s revenge to be unrevenged, right? In the country of birds, he encountered the daughter of the daimyo.

The evil crested ibis, the revenge of the undead! A great failure, bound in a dungeon, tortured by the crested ibis!

There were so many talented people online that Naruto was impressed.

When it comes to revenge, Zhu Lu is a girl with a strong will.

The death of her father and her brother deeply shocked her. In order to seek revenge, she tied her hair up and dressed up as her brother, the daimyo of the Kingdom of Birds who succeeded to the throne.

Hatred controlled her, and she had long since ignored all factors that had nothing to do with revenge.

Naruto knew very well that she didn't care whether the Konoha ninjas would die or not, or even whether she herself would die or not. As long as she could get revenge, she would do anything and give up everything.

Naruto carefully considered the matter and finally gave up the option of seizing the rights of the Bird Country.

It is simply unrealistic to rely on the Princess of Vengeance to seize the Kingdom of Birds. Although the country is small, it has everything. The Kingdom of Birds does not have outstanding ninjas, but it also has smart people like Hongming who are fearless and brave.

Controlling a country is much more difficult than simply fighting and killing. It is impossible to do it by controlling a revenge princess. Moreover, this revenge princess is not easy to control, she is a revenge-minded person.

After much thought, I decided to just complete the mission and run away.

So, in front of Zhu Lu's shocked eyes, Naruto calmly slapped her again.

"I am the Daimyo of the Land of Birds!"

"You're not, your brother is. You're just an imposter." Naruto stared at her and said, "I advise you not to have any other ideas."

With that, Naruto stood up.

"You know the ways of ninjas. You don't want to be at peace even if your father and brother die, do you?"

"You!! What on earth do you want to do?" Zhu Lu asked through gritted teeth, his face red and swollen.

"I just told you, why don't you like to listen to others carefully?" Naruto was not far away from Zhu Lu, and he could touch her if he took two steps forward.

When Naruto's eyes fell on Zhu Lu's cheek again, the latter shuddered violently.

They say you shouldn't hit someone in the face. Zhu Lu didn't know what was wrong with this yellow-haired man from Konoha. He slapped her in the face right away. As a fake daimyo of the Bird Country, her dignity was shattered to the ground.

But the man didn't seem to care at all and even wanted to continue fighting.

Crazy! Doesn't this person have any idea of ​​diplomacy? Doesn't he know what the consequences are of offending the daimyo of another country?

"Don't hit me anymore, I remember now." Zhu Lu said with his head down.

"Very good." Naruto took two steps back and disappeared in an instant, leaving behind a sentence, "I will wait for your good news, fake daimyo."

.......

Zhu Lu was quite smart. He led a group of people to the residence of the National Master Meng Zong and posted a notice along the streets that the National Master Meng Zong was a wandering ninja.

They broke into the Imperial Master's Mansion and found evidence of Meng Zong's collusion with the wandering ninjas. They also rescued the counselor Hong Ming. With Hong Ming's testimony, Meng Zong and his group were convicted.

The truth was just as Naruto said, but even though Zhu Lu was mentally prepared, he was still stunned for a long time before he recovered when he really faced the truth.

Neji and Tenten are good at physical skills. In comparison, Naruto's attainments in ninjutsu and assassination are better than the other two.

Meng Zong's several wandering ninjas were not very strong, so Naruto held his breath and quietly moved forward, killing most of them cleanly and efficiently.

[The Death God's gaze, Impure World Reincarnation (no sacrifice version) was successfully devolved.]

It turned out that the counselor Hong Ming still had brains. Before Meng Zong took him away, he had sent people to arrange how to notify Zhu Lu and even arranged for guards.

When all the truths are revealed and the dust settles.

Faced with the fake daimyo who succeeded her brother to the throne, the strategist Hongming chose to continue assisting Zhu Lu as the daimyo after the death of the national teacher.

It is precisely because there are people like Hongming in the Bird Country that Naruto gave up the opportunity to exploit the bug and chose to end the Bird Country mission early.

The matter has come to an end, but the impact has not disappeared.

Shortly after Naruto and Neji left, the Kingdom of Birds sent an envoy to Konoha to submit a request for the establishment of diplomatic relations.

After the mission was completed, Konoha had entered deep autumn.

The fallen leaves carried a hidden chill. Winter was approaching, and the broad streets of Konoha seemed to have a certain air of desolation and powerlessness.

Tsunade gave Naruto a few days off.

After he returned home and opened the door with his key, Nine-Tailed Fox poked its head out from behind the sofa and saw Naruto's face, and immediately showed disappointment.

"How come you're not dead?"

"It's a pity that the opponent is too weak." Naruto said casually.

He walked into the living room, stood beside the sofa and lit the extinguished incense sticks. He looked at his own photo in front of the three incense sticks for a moment, then touched his chin and said.

“It’s a shame it’s not black and white.”

"I can't find any black or white ones." The Nine-Tailed Fox turned its head and looked at Naruto, its legs raised high, not loving anyone.

"I'll take a black and white picture for you someday." He said, then walked into the kitchen and started to open the refrigerator to cook. The sound of his voice could be heard from far away.

"Did the girl with golden hair come over during the time I was away?"

"No." Jiuwei said while drinking, "No one has come here. You have lost your value now, kid. Find a new owner to buy me some wine!"

The sound of splashing water came clearly from the kitchen.

Naruto asked with a smile as he walked to the kitchen door and stopped, leaning against the door frame.

"Ku Lama, how's your backflip training going?"

"No more practice." Nine-Tailed Fox picked up the wine bottle with his claws and said, "Although I don't understand the twists and turns of you humans, I later found that there are some things that cannot be solved even with a backflip."

Naruto, who was leaning against the door, stood there laughing as if he had heard something funny.

The stove started ticking, a faint blue flame rising as the oil in the pot heated up. Two eggs were cracked and added to the pot, gradually taking the shape of the sun in the heat.

As the sizzling heat rises, bacon slices are added to the other half of the hot oil. Various seasonings are poured into the other pot, and the broth boils and turns over under the high temperature.

The fruit was rinsed under the faucet, and the water droplets splashed beside the pool and slowly slid down the wall.

When all the food has given off just the right aroma, it is carefully packed into food boxes by dexterous hands, and the fruits are also cut and put into boxes.

After finishing all this, Naruto cleaned up the kitchen as usual. He carried the food box out of the kitchen and placed it on the living room dining table. He then went into his room, got some clothes, and went into the bathroom.

"It's getting dark, where are you going?" Jiuwei asked boredly towards the bathroom.

With a click, the bathroom light turned on, and the light was warm and bright.

"To coax people," he said.

Chapter 161 Reconciliation

Mountain flower shop.

There were dull footsteps coming from the wooden stairs on the second floor. The lady looked up when she heard the sound and a gentle smile appeared on her face.

"Ino, don't you have a mission tomorrow?"

"I can't sleep." Ino, who was wearing loose pajamas, rubbed her eyes, her face looking a little haggard. "I'll look after the store, and mother can go and rest."

"Is everything okay?" asked Yamanaka Rino.

The shop was brightly lit, flowers neatly arranged on the shelves, and moths fluttered around the illuminated lamps. The street gradually became noisy at night, and the sounds slowly seeped in through the glass shop door.

It was pitch black outside, and I could see the big green tree outside the store standing silently in the dim light.

Ino averted her gaze and said with a smile.

"Well, it's okay, Mother. I have a mission tomorrow afternoon, so there's plenty of time."

Yamanaka Rino nodded, stood up from the counter and went upstairs. Ino sat down in front of a chair, picked up a book and read it absentmindedly.

The store was a little quiet, and she stared at a line of words in the book, a little absent-minded.

After the camping trip ended that day, nothing seemed to have changed. Iruka gave excellent ratings to almost everyone's assessment records, except Naruto.

She felt a little regretful for being impulsive that day, but when she thought about it carefully later, she realized that there was no need to say those unnecessary words.

The ninja profession is incredibly risky. The higher the expectations, the more likely something bad will happen. There's still a long time to go, and no one knows what the future holds.

But words spoken are like spilled water, they cannot be taken back.

Ino couldn't help but sigh when she thought about what happened that day. The course of events was completely out of her control, and some of the words came out without even thinking.

Ding-ling, the shop door was opened.

"Welcome..." Ino looked up and stopped talking midway.

The late autumn nights were still cool, making it easy to become lazy. With a creak, Naruto pushed open the door of the Yamanaka Flower Shop, letting in the bustling sounds of the street outside.

Ino looked at the newcomer with complicated eyes. The man had messy golden hair, wore a loose white short-sleeved shirt, casually put on a pair of trousers, and had no forehead protector, revealing his smooth forehead.

He was carrying a food box in his hands. He had long arms and legs, and he had grown quite a bit recently. He walked with a slow, unsteady stride, and his blue eyes, hidden beneath his blond hair, slowly fixed on Ino's face.

Then his pupils shrank slightly and he smiled fearlessly.

Under the bright yellow light, Ino couldn't help but want to laugh, but she held it in. She pushed the book in front of her forward, her mouth slightly pursed, and said unhappily.

"Don't stay here if you don't buy flowers."

"Buy it." Naruto leaned over, put the lunch box on the counter, and lazily found a high chair to sit opposite Ino. "I'll buy whichever flower you like."

"I like all of them."

"Then I bought them all."

"Tsk." Ino muttered, "I've seen too many flowers. It's meaningless for you to give me anything. I advise you not to waste your energy."

"Then bring some food," Naruto said.

Ino glanced at him sideways, half leaning her head against the counter, glancing at Naruto, then looking out the window, and finally moving her gaze back, pausing for two seconds on the food box.

"what is that?"

"I just came back from a mission and haven't eaten yet. I brought you some food, so I'd like to have some too." Naruto spoke the truth without blinking.

"Shouldn't you have said that this was specially brought for me?" Ino frowned, looking dissatisfied with his attitude. "Although I also feel a little disgusted when you say that."

"But your truth sounds... even more infuriating."
