At that moment, Ino's face brightened, and Naruto's heart really flashed with the urge to marry her right there. Fortunately, reality poured cold water on him in time.
"You look disgusting right now."
"Well, let's go. I happen to be hungry too. Let's go get something to eat together."
Naruto didn't mind being dirty, so he picked up the Kyuubi on the ground again, and expertly gave it a big blow when the Kyuubi grinned.
"Who wants to go with you?" Ino walked in front and looked back to see if Naruto was following.
"What does it matter if we go together? You won't get pregnant if you sit and eat together." Naruto added, "It will only happen if we hold hands."
"Don't say such weird things!" Ino turned around and glared at him angrily. Taking advantage of this pause, Naruto calmly caught up with her, changing from one behind the other to walking side by side.
The fireworks display has ended, and the sparse fireworks over Hokage Rock have also stopped.
Before they reached the bright spot, the surrounding light was dim, and the two of them could only see the outline of each other's faces. The two of them didn't speak anymore, and the surroundings were so quiet that only the sound of rustling grass was left.
"I'm not going to wash my hands these days." He suddenly said, breaking the silence.
"Please die quickly!" Ino seemed to be immune to Naruto's words and replied perfunctorily, "Don't say such idiotic things. Didn't you touch Hinata's hand?"
"I've touched Ino's too, so can I express my personal thoughts?"
"No, I will kill you if you tell me."
After Ino finished speaking, she suddenly felt her hand being wrapped in warmth. Naruto's hand was as hot as a furnace, and he grabbed her hand without any warning.
"What are you doing!" Ino tensed up.
"It's easy to get lost at night." Naruto said nonchalantly, the skin of his arms was close to each other, and the faint fragrance exuding from Ino made him feel a little itchy.
"Who would get lost in a place like this?" Ino waved his hand gently, trying to break free, but to no avail.
"Let go." She said with some shame and anger.
"Wait until you get to the light and then let go." Naruto said.
Ino didn't think too much about it, and looked at the light not far ahead, her mouth slightly deflated. I didn't react for a while, but I agreed after thinking about it for a while.
He said that when the light was released, it seemed that he had taken a step back, but in fact he had made one more condition.
"Then don't pinch me!" Ino was a little angry, "I'm angry."
"Then I won't pinch you anymore." Naruto instantly became honest.
The journey wasn't long, and the two of them didn't speak any more, until they slowly walked to the light. The shadows of the two people lengthened in the light, leaning against each other.
Ino looked at the shadow on the ground with a complicated expression. Naruto had stopped and did not completely let go of Ino's hand. He only held it weakly, but he could still feel the temperature in his palm.
"Do you want to let go?" Naruto asked, looking sideways at Ino.
The latter looked at him with a complicated look on his face, hesitated for a while and murmured in a low voice.
"up to you."
A smile of success flashed across Naruto's face, and he grabbed Ino's hand and led him forward.
"Let's go get something to eat first."
"oh."
Ino ignored the trend completely and let him hold his hand and walked into the crowd. It felt completely different from the last time we held hands on the streets of Konoha in the middle of the night.
There were almost no people on Konoha Street in the middle of the night, but at this time, there were still many people gathering in the food street specially designed for the fireworks display. Even though the fireworks display was over, it was still lively.
In full view of everyone, Ino was completely passive and was pulled through the crowd. Unconsciously, I became nervous and felt a little excited.
The light is flowing away, yukata are all over the street, and the bright lights in front of each stall seem to penetrate into the heart.
Her mind was a little dizzy, she just felt that there were so many people and there were light spots everywhere. The palms of my hands are so warm, and it goes all the way down my arms into my atria and ventricles, and the warmth circulates throughout my body.
"This is delicious." Naruto pulled Ino and lined up in front of a stall. He held Kyuubi in his other hand and turned to her and said, "Ino, give this dog a hug."
"Huh?" Ino was stunned for a moment.
"I don't have the money to pay."
"Just let go." Ino said.
"Absolutely impossible."
Kyuubi wouldn't let her hold it, so Naruto had no time to spare to give it a love education, and Ino finally paid for it.
"That one!! There are a lot of people lining up over there too."
So Ino paid again.
After going back and forth several times, Ino paid +n. Even though Ino was not short of money, it was impossible to bring a lot of money with her when she went out wearing a yukata, so her money would soon bottom out.
Fortunately, both of them were full, and Kyuubi also got a few bites to eat, and he immediately calmed down. In the sealed space, Kyuubi was not interested in food at all, but it was different when he had an entity.
Konoha is not a food desert, at least for Kyuubi, every bite is a novel experience.
"It seems to be full." Ino curiously looked towards the Kyuubi in Naruto's arms.
"You fed it too much and its belly is already bulging." Naruto complained, "But you can try touching it now."
"It's so vicious."
"No matter how fierce it is, it should have a brain. You gave it food." Naruto said to Ino, "I don't think it will bite you. Give it a try."
Sure enough, Kyuubi didn't respond when Ino reached out, pretending to be dead, and even let out a very spineless bark.
Naruto was speechless at the fox, looking at it with contempt in his eyes.
This is treating Ino as a rich woman, but that's fine. Next time, he will directly cheat him of his money, which will be a reward for pleasing Ino. This fox isn’t very smart anyway, so just keep lying.
"The fur is so soft." Ino sighed, and she mustered up the courage to touch Kyuubi's head. "It's so obedient. Is it because I feed it?"
No, it's treating you like a free food source, Naruto mentally complained.
"I should go back." Ino reluctantly looked away from Kyuubi.
"Before you go back, let's go somewhere else." Naruto suddenly said and handed Kyuubi to Ino.
"Where are you going?" Ino took Kyuubi and held it in her arms, looking up at him in confusion.
"It's nearby, just follow me and you'll find out."
Naruto said this as he pulled Ino away from the brightly lit food court and walked around the fork of Konoha Street to the more remote southeast direction.
After walking through rows of old abandoned houses and along an old road, the two finally stopped on a secluded and unrelated hillside.
Ino didn't know what he was going to do, but Naruto let go of his hand and said, "Wait for me here." Then he gave Kyuubi a warning look and ran towards an abandoned house.
When he ran back again, he was holding a bunch of fireworks that were taller than him.
"What are you doing?" Ino was stunned, "The fireworks festival has already passed. If you mess around, you will be scolded."
"This was not originally prepared for the fireworks festival." Naruto placed a large number of fireworks on the ground and lined them up and said without raising his head, "The fireworks festival has nothing to do with me."
These were all bought by Naruto when he bought supplies before the collapse of Konoha. Later, he never found a chance to deal with them, so he kept throwing them in the sealed space.
"It's like a birthday and a fireworks festival. If you attend a fireworks festival, you won't be able to celebrate your birthday at all."
"That being said, it's not a bad thing."
Inoye was a little nervous. She probably guessed what Naruto was going to do, and her cheeks started to feel slightly hot.
Naruto took out a candle from his arms, his palm turned slightly red, and lit it directly.
"Take it."
A weak candlelight was passed in front of Ino. On this remote and dark hillside, the candle shimmered like a firefly. Ino's face turned crimson, and she pursed her lips and hesitated to answer.
"It's past the time." Ino turned her head to the side and wrung her hands and said, "You will get into trouble."
"That's two different things. I hope you can have a special birthday and have a few fireworks set off just for you." He said.
"Besides, if you run faster, you'll be fine. If you really can't run away, you can throw the dog away. It will come back on its own anyway."
Kyuubi: "???"
