"What? You're not..." Naruto sat up suddenly.
"I'm sorry." Ino immediately bowed her head and apologized, "It was mixed with rainwater. I thought you wouldn't open it, but it's a normal dish, but the taste is not very good."
"I happened to have something to go to the Inuzuka clan today, so I prepared the food, but unexpectedly it got rained on."
"Who believes it?" Naruto said with resentment on his face, "It's too much, just tell me what to do?"
Ino blushed and lowered his face.
"I have no idea."
Seeing Ino's squirming look, Naruto touched his chin, thought for a while and said.
"How about a maid outfit?"
"You!" Ino stood up angrily, holding her bathrobe. Then when she saw Naruto pointing at the empty food box on the table, guilt suddenly appeared on his face.
"This one doesn't work, change it to another one." She said softly.
"That I didn't expect." At that moment, he restrained himself and did not say anything outrageous.
"That...okay then."
Ino's face was stained with a hint of blush, and there was a hint of uneasiness in her tone. He crossed his arms across his chest and glanced at Naruto with a somewhat aggrieved look, his eyes moist.
That expression, this guy is really good at it.
It's really scary to master the powerful expressions of boys so quickly.
The roar of the dryer in the bathroom was a familiar buzz, and Naruto walked to the balcony without getting close to the sofa.
The visibility outside the window was extremely low, and it was even impossible to see clearly the buildings dozens of meters away.
The white mist stirred up by the dark clouds and sudden rain shrouded the entire Konoha leaves, and the trees broke violently in the strong wind. As soon as I pushed open the balcony door, a red umbrella flew from nowhere and swirled in the air. It quickly approached and then was pulled away by the wind with a loud whoop.
Naruto felt a little uneasy and frowned subconsciously.
"Ino."
"Ah? What's wrong?"
Ino was a little panicked, she was afraid that the person in front of her would suddenly appear in a maid outfit. It's not that Naruto can't do this, this man is surprisingly persistent in certain things...
"Did it rain when you came?"
"Yeah, it rained suddenly." Ino complained, "I heard from my father that the village seems to be in trouble, and the advisors have been discussing countermeasures these days."
"Even the daimyo is here. If there is a heavy rain, the village's monitoring facilities will have to be renovated. My father has less time at home, so he will probably be busy for another half a month this time."
The Yamanaka clan is responsible for the surveillance and intelligence work of the village. They work together with the perverts of Ibiki's torture department, and to a certain extent bear the responsibility of the Konoha Guards, which has long been banned.
Although the third generation died in the battle, Jiraiya was still in the village. The Anbu of Konoha has been severely damaged and will be temporarily replaced by ninjas from the base. A small number of ninjas from both headquarters can move around.
Naruto did not create the explosion but did not stay to explain the situation to the Anbu. This was the reason. The village was leaderless, and the issue of Jinchuriki would become sensitive at this moment.
After the death of the third generation, Koharu and Mito Kaden did not continue to hold Sunagakure accountable. Instead, they accepted Sunagakure's surrender and compensation, rectified the morale of the military, and immediately held an election meeting for the Fifth Hokage.
This is enough to prove that the two people's positions are exactly the same as those of the three generations, the moderate preservationists. He lacked trust in the younger generation and looked down upon Danzo, an old classmate who did the dirty work.
To put it simply, the death of the third generation broke the attitude of Konoha's senior officials towards the jinchūriki. Once something happened to Naruto, the senior officials would have an excuse to hold a meeting and vote on Naruto.
The third generation's opinion is that it is enough to stop developing the jinchūriki's potential. The two senior advisors did not trust Naruto, but they did not advocate leaving it to someone as ambitious as Danzo.
"Hai Yi, have you been busy lately?" Naruto asked.
"That's right." Ino was relieved when she saw that Naruto didn't worry about the maid uniform, "Father was very busy before, and he became even busier after the village was destroyed."
"Ino will probably take over your father's job in the future, right?" Naruto asked casually, but he slowly moved towards the door of the living room.
Ino, who was wrapped in a bathrobe, didn't notice anything unusual, frowned and thought for a while before saying.
"should be."
"Do you like this kind of job?" Naruto, barefooted, leaned against the wall with sharp eyes while steadying Ino.
There seems to be something outside the door.
He picked up the knife and went to the bathroom.
Ino was the only one left in the living room, but she seemed a little distracted and thought for a while before she mustered up the courage to speak.
"It's not like I have to take over my father..."
She turned her head sharply, only to find that there was no one in the living room. After being stunned for a long time, she didn't wait for her to call Naruto.
The bathroom door opened silently. Naruto was wearing a thin casual short-sleeved shirt, holding a knife in one hand and all her clothes in the other hand.
The black lace pantyhose and the purple slit skirt were mixed together. It looked like she was in a hurry and grabbed the underwear and skirt separately from the dryer.
Ino's head was buzzing. The dryer didn't stop, it just moved to his brain.
Her face turned crimson at first, and then quickly puffed up. Before Ino could speak, Naruto had already predicted what she was going to say next.
abnormal?
The attack power of this sentence needs to be improved.
Normally, Naruto would have had a quarrel with Ino, but now was not the right time.
Naruto held the knife and made a shushing gesture, walked quietly to the stunned Ino, pointed at the clothes and then her body, and said something silently.
"Put it on."
Then he didn't look at Ino, silently holding the knife and turning his back to Ino, aiming at the closed door.
Ino also realized something was wrong and started getting dressed in the living room.
Boom, boom, boom.
Knocks scored twice.
There was no answer in the living room, and the knock on the door was very slow this time.
The apartment Naruto was in was a bit older, so generally no one knocked on his door. It was still daytime, but the light outside was not much brighter than at night.
There is no peephole on the door. If you want to know who is standing outside the door, you can only open the door.
Suddenly, a hand grasped Naruto's arm. Ino's profile came into Naruto's field of vision, and an extremely worried look appeared on his face.
Naruto glanced at Ino, his face showing a completely different serious expression than usual. He held Ino's hand with his backhand and squeezed it to calm her down.
The door was kicked open with a bang, and the dust on the wall fell. The figures of Itachi Uchiha and Kisame Mikigaki appeared at the door, and their shadows stretched long in the living room.
"It seems that Kyuubi brat is not at home, Mr. Itachi." Kisame's joking voice sounded in the living room, and the gray face hidden under the bamboo hat was filled with bloodthirsty emotions.
Uchiha Itachi said nothing and slowly walked towards the room.
Outside the balcony, Naruto and Ino stepped sideways on a very small raised stone on the outside of the wall, almost sticking together. The two of them were instantly soaked in the heavy rain and looked at each other nervously.
