"I'm going back." She hurriedly wiped her tears with the back of her hand, stood up and was about to go back.

"Hey! Wait a minute." Naruto pulled her.

Ino looked a little stunned when he was pulled, but tears welled up due to inertia. The emotion could not be taken back immediately, but was temporarily interrupted.

He thought for a moment and hugged Ino directly.

Although I don’t quite understand why Ino is crying, but it doesn’t matter so much, let’s calm him down first before asking. He is not a god, so he can’t guess everything.

After a while, Ino felt restless while sitting on the sofa. After the girl's mood faded, she may have realized that she was too impulsive, and now she felt a little embarrassed.

Naruto took a glass of water from the kitchen and placed it in front of her.

"Thank you." She blushed for a moment, lowered her head and whispered.

It was so embarrassing that she grabbed the sofa with her fingers and was so embarrassed that she could dig out the three-bedroom apartment. At first, she was just in a low-pressure mood on the way, but she couldn't help it once she got here.

"Just now." Naruto did not sit down, but stood aside and looked at Ino, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing." She held the water glass and took a sip hastily to cover up the panic in her heart. "Maybe it's because I have too many things to worry about recently, so..."

Ino remembered being hugged in the entrance hall just now, and immediately stopped talking. She didn't know why she felt much better. It turns out that a hug can really make her feel better.

She opened her eyes wide and thought wildly, clutching the water glass in a daze.

"I'm fine, I. I want to go back." Ino suddenly stood up with a red face, glanced at the door, and stammered, "We still have tasks tomorrow, I have to go back and prepare."

"Is it still early?" Naruto walked to the balcony, turned around and looked back at Ino on the sofa, "Stay a little longer, I will take you back."

Ino opened her mouth, refusing to say anything.

It doesn't seem to matter if you stay a little longer, she thought, and nodded. Then she didn't know where to look, and her eyes stayed on the edge of the water glass.

Subconsciously, his lips opened slightly, and then he pressed them with some depression.

With a crash, the balcony window was opened from the outside. Tom, who was tiptoeing, heard the noise and poked his head in from the outside, and saw the two people on the other side of the sofa at a glance.

"Damn it." Kyuubi muttered, crawling in awkwardly on all fours.

"It's back?" Ino stood up.

"Hmm." Naruto met the eyes of Kyuubi, saw the disdain in Kyuubi's eyes, and moved his mouth and said, "Probably went to find his old sweetheart."

Kyuubi was startled and was about to jump up and give him a slap when he was suddenly picked up.

"Does it have any of the same kind that it likes?" Ino was a little stuck, but her curiosity covered up her shyness, and she looked at Naruto with gossipy eyes.

What a hairy thing! Hum hum, I just found another idiot human slave. But that woman was also an idiot and gave all her dinner to herself.

I asked her to get the wine and went to get it, but the place was a bit big and I almost got lost. Although it was a bit troublesome, I still had to go down there. After all, the wine was much better than what this kid bought.

Jiuwei raised his head arrogantly, without any sense of guilt. As if it was natural to have two boats, the scumbag fox had a sweet smile on his face, and he no longer looked down on this former owner.

"Probably not. Even if it's a dog, it's hard to be tempted by that guy." Naruto picked up the water glass and took a sip. He realized that he drank the wrong drink and put it down in embarrassment.

Fortunately, Ino didn't look this way and kept teasing Kyuubi. Kyuubi, on the other hand, looked completely forced, with gray eyes as he played with Ino.

"Can it still raise its hands?" Ino was having a great time playing.

Naruto showed no expression, thinking that not only could Kyuubi raise his hand, but Ino would doubt his life if he saw Kyuubi smoothly opening bottles and pouring tons of wine.

After playing for a while, Ino let Kyuubi go, and the two of them changed their shoes and went out.

The moment before closing the door, Naruto saw from the corner of his eye that Kyuubi Sayazi jumped on the sofa and took out a bottle of wine from underneath. The sound of opening the bottle was covered by the sound of closing the door, and the bang was isolated.

"Let's go." He turned around and said.

He didn't know what Ino was thinking from beginning to end. He was in a bad mood and then went to his house to cry and play with Kyuubi and then he felt better?

This is probably the biggest use of raising the Nine-Tails, right? After all, the Nine-Tails are a weak bunch, so I don’t see any great use, it’s just a tailed beast.

"I actually have nothing to do today. I just feel like I can't do anything to help you, so..." Ino whispered when she saw that there was no one around her.

"Ah?" Naruto came back to his senses and looked at Ino in surprise, "There's no need to think like that, I can actually handle it myself."

He racked his brains to prove that he didn't need to help at all. The only one he had to deal with was Danzo. The two advisers just wanted to maintain the balance of Konoha.

Tsunade and Jirai were also there, as well as the direct descendants of the Hokage. As long as nothing unexpected happened, he wouldn't suffer much.

To put it bluntly, at Ino's age, this kind of thing is not what she should consider. Ino is too ignorant and too precocious. Knowing some topics that she should not know, naturally she is worried about things.

"But I want to help you." Ino said in a low voice.

"But the problem is that this is not something you can do to help. That kind of thing is actually far away from a genin. You don't need to keep it in mind." Naruto explained.

"I finally understand why you are unhappy." He sighed.

"I've already told you." Ino mumbled.

"No, I'm referring to deep-seated problems." He said, "If you know something that you can't solve, and you can't do anything about it but you still think about it, you will feel uncomfortable."

"Just try not to think about it next time. In fact, there's nothing wrong with me. In a few years, when you grow up and become an elite jounin, you can take care of it. By then you will be capable and it won't be a problem.

."

"There are still a few years left." Ino also sighed.

"It doesn't matter, time passes very quickly." Naruto said, "Isn't the Chunin exam about to start? From now on you will be a Chunin, and the next step will be a Jonin. When you are busy, you will have no time to care about time.

”

Naruto's mouth was a little dry, and he had to provide psychological counseling to Ino, and he suddenly felt a little depressed. The client was not unhappy, but she did have psychological baggage.

However, Ino's personality is too good. It's hard to be happy when you think about others. It's normal to get into trouble occasionally.

"You lie to me every time." Ino snorted.

"How can this be considered a lie?" Naruto and Ino were walking side by side, their eyes a little pedestrian, and they remembered the thunderstorm afternoon, and vaguely remembered that Ino's eyes were very bright and his eyes were soft.

"I keep helping you because I like you and don't ask you for the same in return. If I help you once, you have to help me once. Isn't that too blunt?"

Ino's body stiffened for a moment, then she quickly walked forward to distance herself.

"I don't like you."

"Your last time"

"Don't tell me about last time!" Ino turned around and said fiercely, "I didn't! It's not me! Don't tell me!"

"Then I won't tell you." Naruto smiled.

"Don't laugh." She was fierce and grabbed Naruto's collar.

"I don't want to laugh, I just can't help it." Naruto was really happy, as if he had caught Ino's little handle, and suddenly figured out why Ino didn't take the initiative to look for him again after that time.
p>

The streets of Konoha were so long that there was no end in sight. Ino let go of Naruto and walked forward quickly as if frustrated. Even so, her palms were still sweaty.

It's too hard to talk with him. Shouldn't such embarrassing things be tacitly forgotten? Damn it! What is liking!

It was fine before, but now that person talks about it all the time, which is so annoying.

His liking is too casual. That guy must like many people, and he definitely likes Hinata too! He is simply a scumbag. I really want to punch him twice.

"Ino!" He chased after her.

"Don't call me!" Ino said dullly, not knowing why her mood turned bad.

Naruto followed her anyway, poked her arm and asked.

"You really don't have to think like that. I'm helping you out of my own will. Who's to give me free time? I know that the task is dangerous, and I can't watch you die."

"It's not dangerous." She retorted weakly, it was just an investigation.

"What if." Naruto said, "What if those people from the Akatsuki organization come back again? Master Jilu is very strong but not ridiculously strong. What if something unexpected happens."

"Okay."

Ino couldn't talk to him, but suddenly she felt that this was not a bad idea. Going on a mission together would feel very novel. She actually wanted to say that it would be dangerous for him to go.

But after thinking about it, I still didn’t say it out loud for fear of being reprimanded by him.

In a blink of an eye, we arrived at the entrance of the Yamanaka Flower Shop.

"I'm going back." Ino lowered his head and said slowly.

"Okay, see you tomorrow." He waved.

The next day.

Naruto packed his ninja bag early, took a shower after returning from morning exercise, changed his clothes and went out directly. Today was the day of the mission, and he went to the Fire Temple to investigate the whereabouts of the immortal duo.

If the purpose is just to investigate, the mission is indeed not dangerous. If you accidentally encounter two people, you only need to retreat.

But the problem is that Asuma is too valuable, and the 35 million taels that were moved are all due to the debt Asuma left when he was young, and he had to work with Chiriku as the daimyo's personal bodyguard.

In the end, he didn't make a name for himself, but instead got into a lot of trouble. He returned to Konoha in despair, and returned to the arms of the Hokage's father.

As soon as Naruto walked away, Kyuubi slowly climbed up from the sofa, stood on the ground and wandered for a few seconds, then skillfully opened the balcony window and ran out.

The sun was shining brightly outside, and Kyuubi jumped over several rooftops skillfully. It couldn't remember the way. Its body was completely shrunk now, and everything looked like a tall building.
