Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

Baiyun Qingye originally intended to wait until the guests left before going in, so as not to cause them any trouble.

Now that he had been discovered in advance, he left his umbrella outside the door and went into the flower shop.

After giving Ino a mocking look, the female guest nodded politely to Shirakumo Aoba before leaving.

"Qingye, why didn't you come in?"

Ino ran up to Shirakumo Aoba with delight, her face full of joy.

She never expected to see him today.

Baiyun Qingye smiled, and sweet words flowed from her lips.

"Ino was so cute just now, I was so captivated that I stood outside for a while longer."

Ino was instantly overwhelmed by the sweet talk.

Her face was flushed, her eyes were watery, and she looked very shy.

"Is...is it really that cute?"

"real."

Seeing Ino cupping her face in her hands and chuckling to herself, Shirokumo Aoba Zero Frame reached out and patted her head, asking, "..."

Are your parents not home today?

Ino also came to her senses, but her cheeks were still burning.

"Dad went to work, and Mom went to work in the garden yesterday. It's been raining heavily until now, and she hasn't come back yet."

"I see."

Bai Yun Qingye also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked.

"Can you manage all of this by yourself?"

"Of course, no problem!" Ino puffed out her chest, her little face full of pride, and then blinked.

"Aoba, did you come here to play with me?"

"No, that's not true." Baiyun Qingye decided to tease the other party.

"Huh? What's Aoba here for?"

Ino's face immediately fell.

"Buy flowers."

"Eh? Aoba, you're actually buying flowers?" Ino, who had been wearing a bitter expression, looked surprised again.

Who are you going to give it to?

"As a store manager, it's not right to pry into other people's privacy."

Baiyun Qingye said with a smile, "I want that flower, please put it away for me."

"Oh~"

Seeing that Shiroi Aoba wouldn't tell her, Ino pouted and slowly took out the cosmos flower, then wrapped it up.

Thirty taels.

However, Ino couldn't help but ask again.

Who exactly are you going to give it to?

Looking at Ino's expression that said, "If you don't tell me, I'll cry."

Shirokumo Aoba paid directly, took the flowers, and then pushed them in front of Ino.

"Huh?" Ino was taken aback.

"This is for you."

Baiyun Qingye smiled and brought the flower close to Jingye's nose.

"Huh?"

Ino blinked her eyes cutely; she hadn't expected Shirakumo Aoba to suddenly buy her flowers.

"Why...why did you suddenly send me flowers?"

“I think this flower suits Ino very well,” Shirokumo Aoba said, looking at Ino.

Is...is that so?

Ino looked away, avoiding eye contact with Shirakumo Aoba, and said with a flushed face.

"It feels like we're adults, exchanging flowers and stuff, just like parents..."

"I see. It seems Ino doesn't like it. In that case, I'll give it to someone else."

Seeing Ino's somewhat hesitant appearance, Shirokumo Aoba pretended to retract her hand.

"No, you can't give away a gift you gave to someone else!"

Ino hurriedly snatched the beautifully packaged cosmos flower from Shirokumo Aoba's hand and held it tightly in her arms.

"I...I really like it."

Shirokumo Aoba was just putting on an act, but seeing Ino's anxious expression, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Ino was so shy that she couldn't lift her head.

-

After chatting with Ino for a while at the flower shop, Shirakumo Aoba left.

However, he also bought a few tulips at the flower shop, which cost him only a few hundred taels in total.

It only costs a little money to make a girl happy all day long; it's a great deal.

However, Ino's expression turned somewhat unpleasant when she was buying flowers.

With the idea of ​​treating everyone equally and not showing favoritism, he walked to the entrance of Tenten's ninja tool shop with his umbrella.

Compared to Ino's flower shop, Tenten's ninja tool shop was much more lively, practically overflowing with people.

Flowers are not a necessity, but ninja tools are indispensable to ninjas.

The ninja tool shop was also brightly lit.

Every day, he would sit on a small stool, his hands supporting his chin, watching the raindrops fall on the bluestone steps, lost in thought.

As I looked around, I suddenly noticed a familiar smiling face appear outside the glass door.

Tian Tian thought she was hallucinating, and couldn't help but smile foolishly as she responded to the other person.

It wasn't until the other person waved to her that she realized it wasn't a hallucination.

After greeting her parents, Tian Tian blushed amidst the teasing of the guests and ran out of the ninja tool shop as if fleeing.

She seemed to have forgotten that it was raining outside, so Baiyun Qingye quickly moved the umbrella forward to avoid getting wet.

"Aoba, what brings you here?"

Every day, her face was flushed, and she kept her head down, looking very embarrassed.

After all, the other party had just seen him grinning foolishly.

"I just happened to be passing by, so I stopped by to see you."

Baiyun Qingye handed the tulips she had prepared to Tiantian, saying, "These are for you."

Tian Tian stared blankly at the tulips in front of her.

"Don't you like it?" Bai Yunqingye asked curiously.

"No, it's not..."

Tiantian reached out and took it, smelled it, and couldn't help but ask, "From the Ino family?"

"..."

"Yes."

Baiyun Qingye discovered the blind spot, but Tiantian discovered it even earlier than him.

Sure enough, she pouted every day.

"So you went to see Ino first?"

"But if I don't go to Ino's place first, I won't be able to buy flowers."

Baiyun Qingye gave an innocent look.

Tian Tian and Bai Yun Qing Ye stared at each other for a while, trying to break through each other's pretense.

But looking into the other person's clear eyes, she blushed and turned her head away.

"Hmph, I'll forgive you this time for the sake of the flowers."

"Thank you, Tian Tian."

Baiyun Qingye expresses her heartfelt gratitude.

"Would you like to come in and sit for a while?"

"Tian Tian said somewhat shyly."

Seeing the onlookers' expressions in the ninja tool shop, Shirokumo Aoba chose to refuse.

"No, I have something to do later..."

Tian Tian was stunned for a moment, then looked back at the scene in the store and understood.

"Then I'll go outside and play with you!"

Baiyun Qingye shook her head, then pinched the bun on the other person's head and said with a smile.

"It's raining too hard today, let's play together next time."

"All right……"

-

Baiyun Qingye went to check on her own home again, and sure enough, no one was there.

Since Shirokumo Aoba moved to the Senju family home, Shirokumo Yeyama has rarely returned home.

He would only visit Tsunade occasionally when he returned to the village.

Uzuki Yugao often visits him, sometimes staying for a day or two to take care of him, just like before.

However, Uzuki Yugao's strength had long reached the standard of a Jonin, but she had never planned to be promoted in the past because she had to take care of Shirakumo Aoba.

Now that I have some free time, I've started grinding for promotion tasks.

He then went to Ichiraku Ramen to meet Ayame, exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then left.

He didn't plan to go to Sakura's house because Sakura was with Tsunade.

Walking through the rain, Baiyun Qingye encountered someone he never expected.

A masked ninja carrying a short sword.

The other person was standing in the rain, silently watching the Thousand Hands Ancestral House.

Baiyun Qingye couldn't help but mutter a curse in her heart.

Are the secret police so unprofessional, openly and brazenly spying on each other?
