Konoha's Master of Illusion

Chapter 185 Press Conference

"I am leaving."

Before pushing the store door open, Ino shouted and saw Keiko who was looking at the store at the counter nodding her head, her braid hanging on her shoulders swaying, and then she walked out of the flower shop.

"Wait a minute, let's go."

Seeing Sakura waiting for him not far away, Ino sped up and jogged for a while, came to her and smiled.

It was a rare day off today, and her best friends were free, so Ino and Sakura made an appointment to go out and go shopping together.

When girls were young, they might have played house together. But by the age they are now, such childish games would have been abandoned long ago. What’s more, they are already ninjas. As early as after entering the ninja school, games like house have become commonplace. It has become a thing of the past.

Now we either practice together, or walk together to chat and exchange feelings, go shopping aimlessly or sit in a snack shop and talk about intimate topics between girls.

"It's rare that you don't have any training arrangements for your rest today." Sakura waited for her to approach and pretended to complain: "When was the last time we went out together, I can't even remember it!"

Hearing this, Ino asked bluntly:
"Are you still talking about me? Didn't I ask you to have a meal together a few days ago, but Haruno Sakura is a busy person, how can I have time to connect with a small person like me?"

She was talking about something about a week ago.

"Hey, I was wrong."

Sakura then remembered that she wasn't much better, so she smiled and changed the subject:

"I can't help it. The opportunity to learn from Tsunade-sensei is so rare, and we are not from a big family. We need to work harder!"

Team is now in a semi-disbanded state. Without Sasuke, other members were temporarily added to perform a few missions, but later it became the norm for each to be busy.

As the leader of the class, Kakashi, as an elite jounin of Konoha, certainly has nothing to do. He is being bossed around by the Fifth Hokage. It is said that it is difficult to squeeze out the time to study Intimate Heaven recently.

Naruto's words were not much better.

Originally, Naruto and Sakura could have reorganized Team together to perform some small and medium-sized tasks and accumulate ninja qualifications. However, after Sakura was selected as a disciple by Tsunade due to her excellent chakra control talent, he was the only one left. With one person, there is no need to reorganize Team .

In the past few months, apart from practicing hard, Naruto's remaining time will also be filled with missions, and he will form a small team with other classes to go out on missions together.

The one who has stayed in the village the longest is Sakura.

However, she also had no time to spare. In addition to the ambition that everyone has, Sakura also gradually realized that she was the one holding back the small group of Team , so after getting Tsunade's appreciation, she He also secretly worked harder, hoping to catch up with Naruto and Sasuke.

In short, everyone has their own path and goals, and it is very difficult to spend time with friends.

The topic of who is more heartless was brought up, and Sakura started talking about girls' favorite gossip.

She was holding a small bag around in her hands and said enthusiastically:
"I happened to bump into Shino on my way home two days ago. Do you know what I saw?!"

"what?"

Ino asked cooperatively, and at the same time was aroused interest. That guy Shino gave the impression that he was taciturn and seldom joked. He really didn't know much about the same period of this oily girl family.

Sakura didn't make too much of a fuss, she gestured with her hand and said:

"He was holding a puppet toy that was as tall as a person. When he saw me, he ran away quickly without even saying hello!"

Action figures?

Ino recalled that there was a small thing in her room made of cloth of various colors and about the size of a palm. It was a puppy.

She still remembered that when her mother gave her a puppy doll as a child, she treasured it every day. She would always take it with her when she talked to it, played games, and went out to play with her children.

But ever since he stepped into the gate of the ninja school, the puppy doll had naturally received a cold reception. Sometimes Ino would accidentally see it, pick it up and play with it for a while, but would never sleep with it in his arms again.

Now when I go to bed at night, I either hug the quilt or hug the pillow.

If you want to say that Shino is holding a toy doll as big as a human, this scene is really...
"That's true."

In the middle of speaking, Ino suddenly felt that it was not good to laugh at his companions behind their back, so he changed his words:
"It's rare for boys to like this kind of toys, but it's okay. Maybe Shino has such a hobby."

"No one has heard of it before, and..."

Sakura looked around mysteriously, as if she was afraid that others might overhear, and she pressed close to Ino, covering her mouth with her hands and whispered:
"That doll is not the ordinary furry toy you think of. It is a doll that looks like a real person and is a very beautiful girl."

"I think it's made out of the person from the Land of Snow. I don't remember his name, but he looks like a movie star."

"Forehead"

The two girls looked at each other for a few times, not knowing whether their inner thoughts overlapped, but soon they made a tacit agreement not to talk more about this topic and started talking about other things.

As he was talking, a silver-haired masked man appeared in the distance, holding a book with his head lowered and walking quickly on the crowded street as if there was no one around.

He held a novel in one hand and unfolded it. The hand holding the book was as steady as a rock and did not waver at all.

"Kakashi-sensei, are you back from your mission?"

As a disciple, Sakura walked a few steps quickly, her short pink hair jumping in the air, stopping in front of Kakashi like a lively butterfly, blocking his way.

"Hey, it's Sakura."

Kakashi looked like he had just discovered his student, closed the book, and responded in a lazy tone:

"It seems that you are resting today, and you can meet on the street."

If Sakura didn't take a break, it would be impossible to meet her on the street at this time when she had just eaten breakfast.Normally at this time, she would have been waiting by Tsunade's side early. After getting her homework checked and given guidance, she would read medical books and practice medical ninjutsu. Sometimes she would go to Konoha Hospital after noon to learn and observe behind other medical ninjas. Gain experience.

"Where are you going, Kakashi-sensei? On a mission? It doesn't seem like it."

"Well, I finally have a few days off today, and the press conference for the Intimate Paradise movie project will be held in Konoha. There will also be a hundred copies of the latest work signed by Jiraiya-sama and given away randomly. How can I do such a good thing? Maybe I missed it."

Kakashi's single eye, which was exposed under the mask, usually looked sleepy. At this time, it suddenly seemed energetic, and even had the illusion of being radiant.

"That's Jiraiya-sama's latest masterpiece. Although I bought it a long time ago, it's autographed."

Speaking of this, the excited Kakashi suddenly thought of something:
"By the way, where are you and Ino going? If you're not in a hurry, do you want to accompany me to the press conference? After all, it's a random gift, and I probably won't be able to get it if I'm the only one!"
