The aroma of grilled fish spread slowly and steadily. Naruto took out a few simple seasonings from his backpack and sprinkled them evenly on all the grilled fish.
The fire burned brightly, and time flew by in the blink of an eye.
The water source was some distance away from the tent, so they went to wash up. Aburame Shino is a insect master and is particular about bathing. Inuzuka Kiba likes to wash with dogs. Hinata has to practice so she washes up later.
Naruto walked a little further down the river, threw the Kyuubi directly into the water, and threw a bottle of wine down. He stood on the bank with his hands folded and watched the fox drink.
Under the moonlight.
"Are you serious?" Nine Tails emerged from the water, grinning.
"Hurry up and drink, you are whining." Naruto threw out several more bottles of wine nonchalantly and yawned, "I'm taking a bath nearby. Call me when you're ready."
Jiuwei didn't answer. He collected all the wine bottles on a rock. He soaked his body in the water and leaned against the rock to avoid the rapid current. Under the moonlight, the waterfall is like Yinchuan, and the nine tails press their paws on the wine bottle and raise their necks.
Not long after, Naruto carried the drunken Kyuubi back and forth in the water several times and carried it back to the tent, and threw it next to the extinguished fire to dry.
In the tent.
"Afraid of me, why?" Naruto couldn't understand, frowning and looking at Akamaru and Aburame Shino who were hiding far away.
"The bug is very uneasy." Shino said, staring at the drunk Kyuubi in the corner.
"Naruto, what did you pick up?" Inuzuka Kiba held Akamaru in his arms helplessly, "Akamaru is trembling with fear now."
"What, it's just an ordinary fox dog." Under the bright yellow tent light, Naruto gently kicked Kyuubi, who was completely asleep. "Look, it's like this, how scary it can be."
"Anyway, wait for Hinata to come back first, and then ask her if she would like to sleep next to you." Shino put his hands in his pockets and said, "Biological instinctive fear is difficult to overcome in a short period of time."
Akamaru huddled in Inuzuka Kiba's arms, holding on tightly with his claws, looking like he was unwilling to let go.
There were footsteps outside the tent, and Hinata opened the tent and walked in. She usually adds extra training to herself to improve her strength.
"Ah, it just so happens that Hinata is back." Inuzuka Kiba walked over, pointed to the position next to Naruto and said, "Hinata, sleep next to that guy."
"Ah!" Hinata's mental construction collapsed instantly, her face was instantly covered with a layer of crimson, her whole body was trembling, and her voice was weak, "Okay."
Inuzuka Kiba was stunned for a moment and did not hear clearly, and seemed to have discovered the ambiguity in his words. When he was about to explain, Shino spoke.
"Both Bugs and Akamaru are afraid of the fox dog raised by Naruto, so they have to ask Hinata to sleep there."
Everyone has their own sleeping bags, and the tent is very spacious. Generally speaking, it doesn't make any difference where you sleep. But even if the Kyuubi is drunk, its oppressive force on lower animals is still strong.
Hinata was so shy that she couldn't speak. Naruto had already put on his nightgown, squinted at the three people who were talking quietly, and raised his voice.
"Actually, I can throw this thing out and pick it up again in the morning, and it won't notice."
After the words fell, the tent instantly became quiet. Shino, Kiba, and Hinata all focused their eyes on Kyuubi lying in the corner of the tent.
The drunken Kyuubi, unaware of his fate, turned over and fell asleep.
"Absolutely not!" Dog lover Kiba Inuzuka reacted extremely violently and scolded, "It must be your partner too! How can you treat an adopted dog like this!"
Shino said nothing, but nodded slightly in agreement with Inuzuka Kiba's point of view.
In Class 8, there is a bug master and a trainer. The two families have been dealing with animals for generations, and they naturally cherish their pets more than ordinary people.
"Okay." Naruto sneered. Thanks to the two of them, Jiuwei escaped the fate of being thrown out.
"But Hinata will be shy." He pointed at Hinata and said, "After all, unlike my companions who practice together all day long, this is my first time with you."
"You guy! Don't speak so disgustingly!" Inuzuka Kiba was so disgusted that he threatened, "If you dare to mess with Hinata, I will beat you up."
"Huh? Did you just say something? Your prenatal education level language skills are completely incomprehensible."
"you!"
Seeing the two people arguing constantly, Shino took a step forward and said to Hinata.
"Hinata, are you okay?"
"I" Hinata blushed deeply and lowered her eyes. She had already said it once but was not heard. Saying this kind of thing again...
"It doesn't matter. If you're really embarrassed, I can sleep in that position." Shino said without any emotion in his voice.
"But the parasites won't be able to bear it, right?"
"Indeed, just sleeping in a tent makes the bugs very restless." Shino said truthfully.
"If that's the case, I can do it." Hinata's eyes lowered deeper and her voice became quieter, "I can't cause trouble to everyone."
Shino didn't speak, and didn't know what to say for a moment. Hinata's family motto of not causing trouble to others was deeply rooted in his heart, so he could only nod.
The tent gradually became quiet, and the four people slept in a row in their own sleeping bags.
Naruto was sleeping on the far left, next to Hinata, and next to Kiba. He held the shivering Akamaru in his arms, and on the far side was Aburame Shino.
It seems that the parasites are more sensitive than dogs. In short, the parasites in Shino's body are extremely uneasy. The culprit, Kyuubi, was asleep and lying in the left corner of the tent.
In the middle of the night, Hinata, who was so nervous that she couldn't sleep at all, opened her eyes and gasped for air. She felt that the left side of her face was burning, as if it was being roasted on a fire.
For no reason, he thought of the fire, grilled fish, and the embarrassing things that happened the day before yesterday.
Ino and her mother actually caught him in such a thing. Although he was so nervous at the time that he didn't notice it, when he got home and got into bed, he was still so embarrassed that he couldn't fall asleep all night.
Now that I think about that feeling, hmm
Hinata blushed again.
She shook her head subconsciously, trying to calm down. Hinata suddenly saw Naruto opening his eyes out of the corner of his eye, and seemed to have been looking at her.
Naruto was drowsily asleep. When he opened his eyes, he saw Hinata wandering around and stared at her for a while.
Hinata's body suddenly froze, and she tilted her head and looked at Naruto like this. A sense of sadness that she had never felt before came to her heart, as if her whole body had softened.
Her heart was beating fast, and the dim environment made her feel ashamed and nervous, as if she was about to burst into heat.
Although Naruto didn't say anything and just looked at her like that, Hinata seemed to have heard his voice echoing in her ears.
"This is also part of training."
That kind of thing... Hinata's mind was in a mess, her face was so hot that she was about to faint.
