Just when Hinata comforted Tsunade and asked her to do some serious business, the Naruto consultant Shinoko and Mito Menyan, who have been submitting retirement applications for every three days, brought Shikamaru and Ino, who were interns of the Naruto consultant, as well as several of Konoha's clan leaders, who were also welcomed Fengchai and others from the Sandnin Village outside Konoha's fifth ring road.

Looking at the new Gaara who got off his luxury car and had just taken office for a year or two, Mito Menyan immediately met him:

"Hello, hello, welcome to Konoha."

Mito Menqian held Gaara's hand with a standard diplomatic and enthusiastic smile, looking warm and welcoming.

Gaara also smiled and shook hands with Konoha's Naruto consultant and the patriarchs of various tribes in turn, responding enthusiastically to everyone's welcome:

"Hello, hello, I've been bothering everyone of Konoha recently, I hope you can forgive me."

After a simple greeting, Gaara boarded the luxury car for Konoha that had been inspected by the Sandnin people and began to drive towards the central area of ​​Konoha.

As the exclusive vehicle leading the road of the guard department was moving, Gaara, who was sitting in the car, kept looking at the newly built tall buildings of Konoha, with his eyes full of yearning and love.

When Ino and Shikamaru, who were sitting in the same car as reception staff, saw this scene, they couldn't help but communicate in a low voice:

"Shikamaru, it seems that this Fengying had seen us during the exam in the Chuninin exam? He became Fengying so soon? Then Hinata is almost Hokage?"

Listening to Ino's words, Shikamaru couldn't help but glance at Ino. He was called reluctantly and collapsed in his seat and responded in a low voice:

"The situation is different, Ino, these two things cannot be generalized. Forget it, you can't understand it even if you say it."

Ino, who received Shikamaru's answer, glared at Shikamaru with dissatisfaction, then couldn't help but glance at Gaara outside the car window, and asked Shikamaru in a low voice:

"Shimaru, Shikamaru, you said he had been looking at those tall buildings. Did he never see them? He was shocked by the luxury and development of our Konoha?"

Shikamaru pressed his forehead when he heard Ino's question again, and he didn't understand why Ino had so many questions today, but he still answered Ino:

"Who knows? Or maybe Ino, just ask him."

Shikamaru stopped after half-joking and half-seriously. He felt that Ino would not do such a thing as asking others directly that hurts people's self-esteem.

However, after hearing his words, Ino directly got down from the car and separated the soundproof glass layer from Gaora row and asked directly:

"Mr Gaara, I think you have been looking at these tall buildings in Konoha. It's because you haven't seen these in the Sagi Ninja Village. This is the first time you've seen them, so are you curious?"

Asking this, Ino's heart echoed in his heart. The instructions he had given to her before going to welcome the people from Sagitin Village:

Our Konoha is now strong and has developed so quickly and well. Ino, you will remember to maintain our Konoha's majesty in front of people from other villages later.

However, after hearing Ino's question Gaara did not answer Ino's question, but Temari, who was walking with him, answered Ino:

"There are indeed some reasons for this. Although our Sand Ninja Village has also carried out the construction of the new city like Konoha, due to some special reasons, our construction is not as smooth as Konoha."

"So Gaara, our Fengying, may have thought of the tall buildings in the village that were not built due to special reasons when he saw these tall buildings, and he felt a little emotional."

After Temari finished speaking, Gaara, who had been looking outside the car window, nodded, expressing his agreement with Temari's words, and then corrected the white cloth on his head to prevent the wind and sand from blowing into his hair. He compared the progress of the new castle plan of Satsuki Village and Konoha in his heart.

After comparing, Gaara couldn't help but sigh:

Although his Sandnin's new city plan was almost ahead of schedule, Konoha started construction in one year, the construction progress was really too poor.

Because every time Sandnin Village prepares to build a high-rise building, there will always be some unexpected situations when the foundation is dug at the beginning.

Therefore, Sand Ninja Village, located in the desert, has only one planned high-rise building started as scheduled, and it is still under construction, which is completely incomparable to Konoha's progress.

However, when Ino heard Temari's words, his smile turned brighter at this time. Konoha had already received information because of the unfavorable progress of the new city plan of Sagiri Village. She had really seen the information.

So at this time, I felt that I had once again used Konoha to attack the Sandnin people, and successfully maintained Konoha's majesty, Ino, who was unable to help but feel a little proud.

But he glanced at the Temari next to him who seemed to be flirting with Sagiri, and didn't know when they had hooked up with Shikamaru.

Temari made a decisive decision in her heart: It seems that she has to remind Hinata later. Can't Shikamaru attend this meeting?

Otherwise, seeing that he seems to have some special relationship with Temari, he is likely to speak to Satsuki Village, so he must prevent these things.

Thinking of this, Ino's eyes patrolled between Shikamaru and Temari, and then spoke:

"Miss Temari, I think you seem to be quite familiar with our Shikamaru, you..."

You guys from Ino, who were halfway through this, dragged out a long voice, with the purpose of warning Shikamaru not to be fascinated by beauty and forget their position.

However, before Ino finished speaking, Temari beside Gaara's side had a slightly red face and forced herself to interrupt Ino's next words:

"Mr. Shikamaru and I met during the last Chunin exam. I admired the strength Mr. Shikamaru showed during the exam, but unfortunately, I had almost no contact with Mr. Shikamaru later."

Temari said, and she felt embarrassed to pull the white cloth on her head covering her slightly red cheeks, and couldn't help but look at Shikamaru.

At this time, because the partition in the car was lowered, Shikamaru, who looked serious, nodded, agreeing with Temari’s statement:

"Well, right, the strength Miss Temari showed at that time also made me admire."

Just as Temari and Shikamaru were blowing each other in business, Gaara beside Temari seemed to remember something bad, and she couldn't help but move her body. Her buttocks were also clamped, and she asked the first sentence he said when he got in the car:

"By the way, Mr. Shikamaru, Miss Ino, is your Mr. Naruto from Konoha in the village? Since I parted in the Chunin exam, I miss him very much."

Shikamaru, who heard Gaara's question, shook his head and answered Gaara directly:

"Mr Gaara, sorry, Naruto and his master went out to practice. They have not returned to the village yet. You may be disappointed."

Shikamaru's answer was not taboo, and he directly told Gaara that Naruto, the Nine-Tail Tsukiri, was not in the village.

Because this news must be hidden, maybe the spies from other villages had already reported the matter back the day Naruto left the village, so it would be okay to just say it clearly.

However, Gaara, who heard Shikamaru's words, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. She relaxed her sitting position again, and the muscles on her hips also relaxed.

Looking at Gaara's performance, Shikamaru and Ino looked at each other, and at the same time they saw a puzzled look in each other's eyes.

Temari beside Gaara held Gaara's hand, as if comforting him.

The little episode in the car passed quickly. As the convoy continued to move forward, Ino looked at the Shikamaru who seemed to be ready to get through today, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

It seems that Shikamaru is still unreliable. The task of inquiring about the information assigned by the consultants must rely on Ino to do it himself.

Thinking of Ino Masamasa's own expression, he looked at Gaara and asked again:

"By the way, I, Mr. Gaara, haven't asked you yet, what are you doing to come to Konoha this time?"
