In Konoha, Naruto lies down

"Oh."

"I don't think there's any need to worry about it. The lecherous sage will handle it himself." Naruto stepped on the ground with his long legs, and pulled them up restrainedly, and spoke carefully.

"Nagato's matter is very complex. Who knows if Uchiha Madara is still alive? Besides, Konoha is currently in a difficult situation..."

Tsunade could tell that the boy must have known some inside information but was unwilling to tell it. He gave some half-true and half-false opinions, which were somewhat true and false but still had a certain reference value.

Uchiha Madara...if that giant of the ninja world hadn't died yet, things would have been much more complicated than just a simple matter.

Seeing Tsunade still frowning in thought, Naruto didn't lose his temper and leaned back in his chair. He didn't want to get involved, and Konoha would have its own strategy to deal with it.

It didn't really matter what his opinion was. Besides, Tsunade's opinion didn't count.

Tsunade is so anxious to train Kako-kun as her successor, probably because she wants to die together with those old guys in the upper echelons and step down at the same time.

Most likely her main target is still Danzo. The Fifth Hokage clears the obstacles for the Sixth Hokage to take power, which is also a kind of inheritance of the will of fire.

If nothing else, Tsunade is worthy of being the Senju Princess. She's ruthless, cunning, and incredibly tolerant. Over the past few years, she's managed to marginalize the Root, while also promoting Kakashi.

But these things didn't concern him much, and Naruto didn't think of intervening in everything to show off his superiority. There are always people better than you, and it's impossible for him to be better than everyone else in every aspect.

When it comes to calculating people and managing the largest ninja village in the ninja world, Tsunade is the best.

The conversation lasted late into the night, and the three of them were so sleepy that they broke up mid-sentence. They had to save their lives. There would be another time for this conversation, but they only had one life.

Shizune and Tsunade were about to go wash up and spend the night in the Hokage Building. Naruto yawned and slipped away, stepping on the moonlight at the end of the New Year and braving the cold wind to return to his long-awaited home.

I took a quick shower and completely forgot that there was a Nine-Tailed Fox at home. Nine-Tailed Fox didn't need to pee anyway, so he just lay on the sofa and on the balcony drinking all day.

Even if it snows in winter, the turtle cannot be frozen to death. The tailed beasts are just tough.

Until he walked out of the bathroom with wet blond hair, drying his hair while looking for a hair dryer. Suddenly, a pair of fat paws handed the hair dryer to him.

"Here." Kyuubi had a flattering smile on his face.

He was stunned for a moment, thinking that it was really weird, he could actually see such a flattering expression on a dog's face. To be honest, Jiuwei's smile was quite obscene.

"Oh, what's the matter?" He took the hair dryer and asked casually.

The Nine-Tails is not that kind at all. It will not pay any attention to Naruto unless necessary. It is the ultimate snob among the tailed beasts. This time, it was so considerate to take the initiative to offer the hair dryer. There must be a purpose.

"Um... wine." Kyuubi rubbed his paws, "We agreed on that last time. I've thought about it and it's okay."

"What did you agree on?" Naruto was a little confused. He pressed the button of the hair dryer, and the humming sound broke the silence of the bright living room late at night.

He didn't mean to do it, it had been so long that he really had forgotten.

"How could you forget? Where is my wine?" The Nine-Tailed Fox suddenly became anxious and reached out to touch Naruto.

"Take it away! What are you touching?" He stretched out his hand and slapped away the Nine-Tailed Fox's claws. At this time, he also remembered the cause and effect of fishing for the Nine-Tailed Fox before.

At that time, the Rain Country mission had not yet begun, and Naruto found Hinata and got a bottle of Hyuga's homemade wine. He fabricated a pretext of ancestor worship in front of the Nine-Tails and used it as a sandbag to fish for the Nine-Tails.

But the Nine-Tailed Fox was no fool. While he was frantically testing and pulling, Jiraiya suddenly received another message. He was in such a hurry to leave that he completely forgot about the Nine-Tailed Fox.

But now the problem has been solved, the wine used for fishing has been given to Tsunade, and the Nine-Tailed Fox is completely useless.

"We clearly agreed on that!"

"Who made you hesitate?" Naruto didn't indulge it. The Hyuga clan's special wine was not something it could drink easily whenever it wanted. If he gave it face now, it would be even more difficult to control it in the future.

The Nine-Tails was unhappy, but couldn't beat him, so it had to give up. It didn't dare to say anything more, after all, Naruto was still its nominal owner.

Naruto dried his hair, and fatigue overwhelmed him. He didn't have time to care about the Nine-Tailed Fox and fell asleep directly.

The next day.

The knocks on the door kept coming, and Naruto initially thought he was hallucinating. After all, he had just returned to the village yesterday and had gone straight to the Hokage Building without going anywhere.

It was a special day just after the New Year Festival, and almost everyone he knew was busy as hell. No one would have the leisure to knock on his door so early in the morning.

Bang, bang, bang, there was another knock on the door, the sound clearer.

This time he was sure he wasn't hallucinating, so he reluctantly opened his eyes, which were still bloodshot. He stared at the ceiling for a moment, then reluctantly stood up and walked out of the room, heading towards the entrance.

"Stop knocking! Who is it?" Naruto quickly opened the door with a crash. The open-door syndrome was almost cured by time, and he was just short of killing Uchiha Itachi.

On a spring day, the pink-haired girl, wrapped in a slim down jacket, looked at him with a smile.

Heiying knows how to dress up, and she looks light and agile. When she stares at him, her eyes are like melted malt sugar that can be pulled into threads.

"How did you come?"

"Can't I come see you?"

"How do you know I'm back in the village?" Naruto asked in confusion. Tsunade and Shizune were with him all yesterday and left late at night.

"Oh, that's because I live next door to you!" Sakura said with a smile on her face, and the faint fragrance from her body was swept by the cold wind and came lightly.

"So you live next door... huh?" Naruto opened his eyes, all sleepiness gone. "What did you say?"

"I bought the second floor of the building next to yours." Sakura had a clear smile on her face, the kind of smile that can only be seen in spring.

"So, Naruto-kun, we are neighbors now." She leaned forward slightly, her eyes curved like pure crescent moons, "Our balconies are also facing each other, and it is illegal to attack at night."

"Are you crazy?" Naruto almost spit out a mouthful of blood, "The floor next door is worthless, you will lose a lot if you buy it, you..."

"What the hell is wrong with you, Haruno Sakura?! Spending all that money on a shabby house!"

"I think it's a good deal. Besides, didn't I say it a long time ago?" Sakura said with a smile, not caring about Naruto's rebuke.

"Who would take that kind of talk seriously? Damn it!" He felt a little tight in his chest for a moment, and he couldn't understand what was going on in this person's mind, spending so much money to buy a house in a bad location.

But he soon realized that her loss of money was none of his business.

"Is there something wrong? If not, I'm going to go back to sleep." Naruto held the door with one hand and glanced at her with a bit of boredom. "If you have something to say, please tell me quickly. I'm going to go back to sleep too."

"Hmm, so shy. Are you implying that I can't come in unless I sleep with you?" Sakura made an outrageous interpretation and squeezed in through the door like a fish.

Naruto felt a little helpless. He glanced at the cold wind outside the corridor and could only close the door first.

After being tossed around like that by her, he didn't have much sleep left. He simply went straight into the bathroom to wash up, ready to go back to bed and try to fall asleep.

After washing up, he was surprised to see breakfast on the table. He looked at Sakura, who was still smiling, but with her hands in front of her.

It turned out that she had her hands behind her back because she had her breakfast hidden behind her.

He was stunned for a moment, but didn't act pretentiously. He sat down at the table and prepared to enjoy breakfast. Sakura immediately ran to his side again, leaned over quickly, and blew hot air into his ear and spoke.

"Welcome back, Master."

This made Naruto's hair stand on end, and he gasped and turned to look at her.

"you......."

"Don't you like it?" she asked, and took out a copy of Intimacy Paradise from her bosom. After opening it, she murmured to herself, "This is what the book says."

"Should I call you daddy?"

Naruto ignored her and ate his breakfast in big mouthfuls. He thought to himself, "You're not dressed right. Shouting is useless. I'll finish breakfast and wait for her to leave before catching up on some sleep."

He finished his breakfast, and Sakura showed no sign of leaving. She lay on the table, looking at him with infinite tenderness. He scratched his face, and Sakura got up and made him a pot of tea.

"What do you want?" he asked.

"Bring breakfast." She said, holding her face, the two of them were separated by a breakfast table.

"Well, you should have seen that I'm done eating." Naruto pointed to the empty breakfast box on the table, and white mist was rising from the freshly brewed teacup.

"I saw it, but it would seem strange to leave at this time. After all, I am the first one to see you. Isn't that awesome?" she said.

"What's so strange?" Naruto reached out to grab the hot tea on the table, and suddenly heard Sakura speak.

"It's like I'm staying over here. You don't want Ino to know, right?"

His outstretched hand stopped and he looked up, "????"

Chapter 296 So, it is normal to skip work for you in the golden evening

He felt like he hadn't slept well from staying up late, and now he was hallucinating. Or was he dreaming? He hadn't woken up at all.

He has always been the one who coerced others, so how could he have been threatened by others?

What is Taitai Le saying?

"If you know, then you know. It doesn't matter." Naruto spread his hands. "As long as you are happy, you can say whatever you want."

"Foul, that's the usual scumbag's words, so skilled at it!" Sakura made a big x with her hands in front of her, but her expression was still happy.

But soon, she changed her tone and spoke.

"It's okay, I won't ruin your relationship with Ino, even if it's Hinata. I just want the third in line, I don't need the complete Naruto-kun."

"Why?" Naruto picked up the teacup and blew on it, a little absent-mindedly.

Fortunately, Sakura didn't think of anything else. She smiled and said, "Because I only have half of you, I only need to possess half of you."

He didn't mention Temari, nor Tayuya. He didn't take the ranking seriously. Anyone who took things like that seriously would lose. As for the future, he didn't dwell on it.

In Konoha, he is alone and free from all worries, and even now that he has grown up, he doesn't need to worry about so many things.

Of course, he has his limits. Sakura may be very confident in what he says, but when things get serious, he'll immediately back off. So, some of his words are just for the heck of it.

"Then third pick, can you stay quietly in the living room for a while? I want to go back to my room and catch up on some sleep." He stood up, pulled out a chair and said.

"Sure." Sakura smiled sweetly.

"Remember to cook lunch at noon, thank you." He turned around decisively and went straight back to his room to sleep.

He slept until noon, and when he woke up, he found someone beside his pillow. Looking at Xiaoying, who was neatly dressed in the quilt, a helpless look flashed across his face.

It seems like he really fell asleep?

Forget it, I won’t call her.

He got up rustlingly and just as he walked out of the room, Sakura woke up and quickly followed him out.

"Why didn't you respond?"

"What kind of reaction do you want?" Naruto rolled his eyes. You were sleeping there with your whole body covered tightly. I was really afraid that you would die peacefully in your sleep.

"Have you had enough of the fuss? If nothing else, just return the house. It's not worth it."

"I didn't buy it." Sakura thought for a moment and said, "That's the ownerless building. It's spooky. I actually saw you in the Hokage Building yesterday, so that's how I knew you were back."

"That's good," he said.

"Do you want to cook?" She had already skillfully taken out her apron and put it on, looking at Naruto innocently.

"Forget it, let's go out and eat." He waved his hand, "I'm too lazy to cook, I'll treat you."

"Okay."

Sakura had no objection. Naruto hadn't been home for so long that there was no food in the refrigerator. She had only put on an apron to show him, the tight sweater emphasizing her beautiful figure.

"What should we eat? I remember there's a delicious restaurant near the hospital..." She walked towards Naruto, but suddenly stopped when passing by him.

"How come there is... another woman's... on you..."

Before she could finish her words, Naruto pulled her over and pressed her onto the sofa. A hint of helplessness appeared on his face, and he stared at her with dead eyes.

"Stop lying to me. Isn't it boring?"

"I'm worried, aren't I?" She muttered, her face flushed, and she turned her head away. "Let me go first, and go eat something."

Naruto let her go and didn't take advantage of her.

The two of them wandered around the main street of Konoha and found a restaurant to have lunch. After finishing their meal, Sakura did not linger any longer. In fact, she had just taken a break from her busy schedule to come out.

After a few more days, he finally had enough rest and all the fatigue in his body was swept away.

He made some inquiries and found the intelligence department where Ino worked and said hello. Her father later transferred her back to the intelligence department, but did not allow her to mention the communicator again.

Ultimately, the old guard in Konoha didn't trust the new communicators. Yamanaka Ino didn't want Ino to be targeted by them too soon, at least until they were out of power.

So, since being transferred back to the Intelligence Department, Ino had been working as usual. Knowing that the communicator reform would cause trouble for her father, she simply didn't mention it.

I'm still researching it privately, and the technology has already been upgraded to 5.0.

She remembered what Naruto said: if the road ahead is blocked, then find a way to take off. People cannot be trapped by the road. It doesn't matter how high you can fly, I will accompany you.

Ino believes that liking someone must be clear, not just a feeling. It must be visible and tangible, and can immediately give hope in times of frustration.

He and she had been testing the communicator secretly, hiding it from everyone.

That day, after Naruto said that, Ino almost had the urge to marry him. But she quickly came to her senses, because the communicator was not yet completed.
