Walking through the bustling hall, you can hear the roar of people and the smoke of fireworks, and you have to guard against the heat coming from the neighboring table due to improper operation.

Go up to the third floor and enter the private corridor. The surroundings suddenly became quiet. The voices of the diners were completely isolated on the first floor. There was a soft carpet under your feet, and the spicy smell could be vaguely heard from behind the doors.

"I actually want to eat on the first floor, but today's situation is special, so I have to come here." Shikamaru introduced lazily. The two people behind him were his own people, so there was nothing he couldn't say.

"We can't keep people waiting. It's not good." Ino said.

"Yes, women are trouble."

Ino: "."

Although she knew that Shikamaru didn't mean this, she was still a little unhappy and couldn't beat Shikamaru, so she looked at Naruto who was snickering next to her.

"What are you looking at me for?" Naruto's expression gradually became horrifiedjpg.

"It's all your fault!"

"Ah!! Ino, you are being a little unreasonable!"

"So what? Humph." Ino became increasingly unreasonable.

But as soon as she opened the box door, she immediately started playing with the two girls again. As if they were surrounded by flowers, the girls burst into laughter like silver bells from time to time.

Naruto rolled his eyes, sat down next to Shikamaru, and leaned back in the chair, looking like an old man.

"When did you come back?" Dingci greeted skillfully, dressed casually, and his tone already sounded a bit like an adult.

Naruto didn't react at all, raised his eyebrows, and said something.

"Today."

"We have similar minds. We bumped into each other today." Dingci patted his shoulder with his thick palm and gave him a wink.

"How are you and that person? When will you get together?"

Ino was there, and Choji didn't dare to say the princess's name directly, so he could only use that person instead. Shikamaru looked at the menu slowly, and his ears perked up.

"It's nothing." Naruto sniffed, "Young people put their career first, I'm not as idle as you, love is so vulgar."

Snap, Shikamaru slowly threw the menu on the table and looked at Naruto with slight contempt.

"I didn't want to separate my hands just now, why? Now I'm pretending, and there has been no movement after several years of teasing. You don't have any bad intentions, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Eat vegetables, eat vegetables." Naruto said.

"The food hasn't been served yet." Shikamaru was a little speechless. This man was good at changing the subject, but he didn't pursue the question any further.

After all, that is still Ino and Naruto's private matter, and I only mention it out of caution. It would be meaningless to say more, after all, no matter how good the relationship is, it is their business.

The door of the private room was opened, dishes were placed on top, a small pot in the middle was lifted up, and white smoke rose. The atmosphere became lively and lively.

The wine was slowly put on the table, and the bottles were opened and filled.

Shikamaru and Choji seem to have become accustomed to it. The relationship between the old family is still relatively serious. As adults, drinking and other things have become passive skills learned by ninjas when they are depressed.

"I heard that," Shikamaru said, slowly opening up everyone's conversation.

Everyone here knows each other, and even if there are two more girls, it won't be a standstill. Naruto doesn't have to go out of his way to talk to others, it's enough to occasionally chat with a few people.

Half an hour later, the atmosphere at the table became completely lively. Ino also drank, not too much, taking small sips. The last time she was drunk and asked for a kiss from Naruto, she almost died of shame and vowed never to do it again.

Such a stupid thing.

"The Land of Rain, it's not that scary." Naruto has been running around in the past few years, and the places he has been to are places that few people would touch.

In addition, I have been with Jiraiya for a long time, and I know how to stir up interesting topics. A few random anecdotes from the road are enough to cope with this kind of situation.

"Will you be so busy in the future?" Ding Ci suddenly asked.

Ino was talking and laughing with the two girls, and when he heard this, he suddenly paused for a moment.

"I don't know, I haven't decided yet." Naruto put the wine glass on the table and said lazily, "If you don't have anything to do, I'll probably stay in the village, or I may have to go out on a mission."

"Drink less." Ino turned to look at him and said with a frown.

As soon as he finished speaking, Choji immediately put away Naruto's wine glass like a dog-legger and said with a naive face.

"Drink some water."

Naruto: "."

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost over, Shikamaru suddenly stood up, raised the wine glass in his hand and said.

"I have something to announce."

It seems that it has been planned for a long time, and there are only a few things that can be said on this occasion. With this tone, they are probably the most important things in life.

Ino raised his head and looked at Shikamaru in confusion. Choji was a little nervous, and the expressions of the other two women were different. Naruto half-squinted his eyes and leaned on the chair, and the light was narrow in his eyes.

The private room became quiet, the pot was churning, and the fresh ingredients Choci had just put down were singing and churning in the hot water.

"Tamako and I are getting married next week." Shikamaru said, with a hint of blush on his face.

Smart people don't blush easily, and they may even try to control their expressions in a morbid manner. But Naruto looked at the seriousness and shyness in Shikamaru's eyes, and knew that this was probably true.

"Okay!" Dingci clapped, and the atmosphere in the box instantly became lively.

The girl named Tamako looked shy, probably because she had expected it. Under the light, she and Shikamaru even blushed.

He opened his eyes, stood up and said congratulations. The butterfly effect showed his fangs after many years. For Naruto, this is also a good thing.

The significance of a dinner party demonstrates the power of the butterfly effect. For a person like Shikamaru, no matter who marries him, he will be treated well.

He glanced at Ino from the corner of his eye and could only see her profile, which was always smiling.

The word "marriage" was unexpectedly heavy. Listening to Shikamaru announcing that he was getting married, Naruto didn't feel much in his heart. Ino was fine and living a good life.

But once he wants to seriously settle down, things tend to not go so well.

The chairs were pulled open, and the three of them got up. Shikamaru and Choji still had things to do. After saying hello, they each took their girlfriends and left in different directions.

Ino followed Naruto and left as a matter of course. The two of them walked out of the private room and breathed some fresh air. The cold night breeze made their whole bodies feel comfortable.

"What are you thinking about?" Ino asked.

"I didn't think about anything, I just felt that time flies by so fast." Naruto lamented in a somewhat old-fashioned way, "Obviously we were laughing and joking together yesterday, but when I turned around, I found that those guys were already ready to enter the next stage of their lives."

"Shikamaru doesn't like those jobs, but the elders of the Nara clan want him to participate in more high-level activities." Ino explained at the side.

"Only getting married at this time can delay the trajectory of life. It is precisely because you are not ready that you get married."

She looked at Naruto with bright eyes.

"Chouji doesn't have so much pressure, but he is a kind person. Shikamaru will get married soon, and he will also choose to get married."

"Are you envious?" Naruto turned around and asked.

"Yeah."

At the corner of the stairs on the third floor, Ino turned around and stood side by side with Naruto in front of the window, looking at the lights of Konoha in the distance and said with a smile.
