Chapter 144 Prejudice
"Why did you suddenly stop talking?" Ino asked curiously, raising his hand and looking at Naruto's face from the gap between his chest and arms.
"It's nothing." Naruto rarely said anything provocative and turned his head slightly.
Ino looked at each other and looked away tacitly. Suddenly he understood something, and his face instantly turned red.
The atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
"Just apply the medicine here, and I will do the rest myself." Naruto said with a guilty conscience.
"Well, I think that one is good too." Ino stammered, stood up suddenly as if being pricked by a hedgehog, and said in a panic.
"I'll go see how it is."
Ino moved stiffly and walked towards the balcony. With a crash, the floor-to-ceiling windows were suddenly opened, and the howling wind at noon blew from outside the mountain forest. The wind was mixed with the bitter smell of earth and green leaves, and slowly spread under the scorching sun.
Come out.
The sun in autumn is neither warm nor hot, but it makes the girl's heart even more restless than in the scorching summer sun.
It's like a seed is buried in my heart. When it has not completely broken through the ground, it takes root and sprouts silently. But once the sprout shows its head, it can no longer be ignored.
Naruto sat up from the sofa and fiddled with the disinfectant potion casually. He didn't need to apply the potion, and he had no intention of applying it. Ino was the best potion.
Looking at the back on the balcony, Naruto was a little confused.
That guy is already so cute at just a few years old. In three years' time, Ino's charm will probably rise to a very scary level.
But at the moment, not many people seem to have noticed Ino’s shining point. Maybe it’s because they have only recently begun to pay attention to dressing up, and it probably has something to do with the fact that people are all visual animals.
Just as she was thinking about it, a strong wind suddenly blew on the balcony, and Ino's pleated skirt was blown up, revealing a corner of her absolute realm under black pantyhose.
Naruto suddenly sat upright on the sofa. Ino screamed and covered her skirt, turning back to stare at Naruto with shame and anger. With a crash, the floor-to-ceiling window was forcefully opened.
Ino walked up to Naruto in a few steps, grabbed his collar and asked through gritted teeth.
"Did you just see everything?"
"No, I didn't see anything."
"Impossible!"
"This." Naruto was a little embarrassed and refused to admit it even to death, "I didn't see anything."
"You!" Ino wanted to say something else, but found Naruto staring at her moist lips. Her hands and feet suddenly became weak, and she forced herself to let go of Naruto and said.
"It's best not to let me find out you lied to me."
After saying that, he walked away calmly, stopped in the middle of the living room, turned around and said.
"I'm going back."
"Then I'll give you a gift."
"No, I don't want my mother to misunderstand that I have anything to do with you, a pervert!" As she said that, Ino ran away, and half a minute later there was a slamming sound at the door.
The apartment became quiet again, and Naruto was a little helpless. He could chase him out, but he didn't want to.
Ino wasn't angry, just embarrassed.
He should stay at this time and go to the Yamanaka Flower Shop in the evening. There is a high probability that he can ask Ino out for a walk. If he catches up now, he will either get scolded or express his love.
However, neither of them is what he wants.
Lying back on the sofa, Naruto's sea-blue eyes gradually calmed down.
Tomorrow is the last day of vacation, and the three-day gap is boring. I basically spent the first two days sleeping. If Ino hadn't come, I'm afraid I would have wasted the same day today.
As for Ino's matter, you can't rush, you must be patient.
The Konoha villagers' fear of him still exists, and it will not disappear completely because of Tsunade. Although he doesn't care about this alone, he doesn't want Ino to bear this with him.
Prejudice against a person will not be easily eliminated, but the resentment of following the trend is even more terrifying. If there are cracks in a wall in the village, people will look forward to the day when it completely collapses.
These people cannot be said to be bad, they are just evil. But for now, Naruto does not intend to pay attention to them until the Uzumaki clan grows in Konoha Ninja Village.
These people will no longer remember the fox demon, they will only talk about it excitedly and respectfully, as if they are proud of it. They worship the Uzumaki clan spiritually, and one day they will lower their heads from the bottom of their hearts, showing piety.
Thinking like this, he slowly closed his eyes.
The autumn wind was blowing heavily, and the Nine Tails on the balcony huddled together, squinting their little heads towards the living room. They were muttering in their hearts, thinking that this kid seemed to have had a quarrel with his owner.
Do you want to go out at this time? The wine in the refrigerator will not be thrown out, right?
Little girls nowadays have such bad tempers, they don’t really want me to do a backflip, right? No! Absolutely impossible! But that woman seems to be very rich.
If there is a lot of wine to drink.
Kyuubi was still struggling, and the ashamed and angry Ino was almost home, walking on the streets of Konoha, still feeling angry.
Team 10, led by Asuma, whom she belongs to, returned to the village near early yesterday morning, but Ino still got up and dressed up in the morning without sleeping long.
In the end, the man was so angry that he started gnashing his teeth.
"I'm so bored, I'll never go there again."
Ino took off the key and held it in the palm of her hand for a long time. The key was even hot before throwing it out. She pursed her lips and whispered to herself.
"Forget it, I'll throw it back to that guy when I see him next time!"
In front of the Yamanaka Flower Shop, Ino was about to open the door and go home to take a nap. She accidentally overheard the conversation of the villagers passing by outside the shop and couldn't help but feel stiff.
"It's strange to say that since that monster became a ninja, everything I do has not gone smoothly. I think my bad luck is probably because of the fox monster."
"Yeah, I don't understand why Hokage-sama would let such a dangerous person become a ninja. What if he wants to harm us? We can't defeat ninjas."
"Who knows, I guess I want to use that monster to protect the village. Anyway, it's a monster, and I guess my brain is not very good. I just believe it if I lie to you."
"Don't say such nonsense."
The sound gradually faded away, and after a while the two burst into laughter again. What the next two said could not be heard clearly.
Ino's hand froze on the door handle outside the store, and her face suddenly turned ugly. She knew that Naruto had been ostracized by the villagers since he was a child, but she thought she just didn't like him.
Moreover, the Fifth Generation of Lord Tsunade also pulled Naruto to the nearest position during the inauguration ceremony, and the importance he attached to him was already very obvious.
Later, the high-level officials and various Konoha families no longer complained, and the attitude of most villagers towards Naruto also changed. She thought it had gotten better, but.
But she didn't expect it to reach this level, she was simply crazy! Why should she blame Naruto for her bad luck, or blame her parents for not having a good pregnancy!
