Naruto really didn't know that Choji could do such indescribable things. His family's skipping meals was simply more abstract than performance art!
This isn't a meal, it's clearly like using a shoehorn to slap Akimichi Dingza's face, a complete trick.
"Okay, I understand." He responded hurriedly.
Because of Hinata's matter, Ino made the unprecedented choice to give in. Because of this, no matter what opinions Ino put forward, Naruto would satisfy her as much as possible.
"What about Choji?" she asked.
"At most, he'll be beaten once, and nothing will happen." Naruto waved his hand and said, "Besides, this guy is in trouble caused by himself, so don't worry about him."
"All right."
Naruto took the time to go to the hospital and put Chouji's hands and feet in plaster at his own expense.
"What? Why?"
"Do you understand? This is more true. Just say that you fell from the Hokage Rock." Naruto waved his hand, "I asked Uzuki Xiyan to find an ANBU witness for you, so that no one will doubt it. is you."
"But Shikamaru and the others all know, how can they hide this?" Chouji asked.
"You won't deny it?"
"deny?"
"This kind of thing, as long as a few people say that they saw you fall from the Hokage Rock, the fake thing will become true." Naruto looked very experienced.
He had used this trick before when he was at a loss. Before going to the Hyuga Clan's headquarters to find Hinata, he found seven or eight people to trick them into going somewhere.
Then he led them to repeat it in front of Ino inadvertently, so the Naruto who didn't exist appeared.
Choji was doubtful, but saw Naruto put him on the ground and left directly.
"Hey! Come back!"
"Naruto! What are you doing? Come back and help me up?"
~~
Short book street.
"When did you come back?" Nohara Nao smiled and opened the door, "Long time no see. You haven't come to see us in half a year?"
"You haven't completely forgotten us, have you?"
"No, in the recent war between the five major powers, Konoha also participated in the war." Naruto's face showed no flaws at all, "I at least have some strength, so..."
"Oh, I heard about that war too." Nohara Nao was as lively as ever, "So what was the result of the war? Was it won?"
Nohara Nao has a very likable character, she is smart and bold, and her words make people comfortable. Once she sets a goal, she will pursue it without looking back.
If she pays attention to the war, she will naturally know that she is winning.
But she didn't say that. Instead, she asked Naruto about the outcome of the war. As a member of it, knowing the outcome from his mouth would make the two of them close quickly.
This is a method that Naruto usually uses, and Nohara Nao learns and uses it.
"We won, but the war is not completely over." Naruto lay on the sofa, raised his head and said with a relaxed expression, "The five major countries have not yet discussed how to distribute the benefits, and there may be another fight."
"Then you want to join the war?" she asked worriedly.
"Of course I don't have to. Why should I care about the five major civil wars? It's too boring." Naruto pulled her over and stretched his hands to his waist very naturally.
"By the way, Sara said she wants to learn some ninjutsu, what do you think?" Nohara Nao asked casually with an extremely relaxed posture.
"She is already an adult, right? She has no foundation in ninjutsu at all. Learning ninjutsu won't have any effect, right?" Naruto hesitated, "Why does she want to learn ninjutsu?"
"Maybe it's to kill time, I can't say for sure." Nohara Nao said, "Twenty years have passed since the Dragon Vein shuttle to now, and Loulan has completely disappeared."
"If she continues like this and cannot find a goal in life, I am afraid she will sink into the pain of destroying her country in the future."
"That's true, then there's no need to learn ninjutsu, right?" Naruto looked towards the second floor, "Isn't she at home? Let's listen to her thoughts. If she insists on learning, I will think of a way. .”
"No, I went out to buy groceries."
"Can you think of a way to do this?" Nohara Nao was stunned for a moment, "I can only learn some simple ninjutsu, such as the Three Body Technique."
"That's not necessarily true. It depends on her own wishes. If she wants to return to the country, there is no need to learn ninjutsu at all." Naruto said.
"If you just want to kill time, you can choose some practical ninjutsu that don't require too much talent."
"Is there really such a ninjutsu?" Nohara Nao looked at Naruto and said with some disgust, "Then I want to learn it too, and I want to learn it together."
Naruto smiled when he heard this and thought that she was really smart.
"I'll ask her first, but she's not around now."
"Then will you stay today?" Nohara Nao blinked and asked, looking at Naruto with hope, "I haven't seen you for a long time, can you stay a few more days?"
"I'm a little busy these days. I'm afraid I won't be able to do it for a few days." Naruto said hesitantly. It was impossible for him to lose contact for several days in a row. "But I can come back to see you in a few days."
What he said was very spiritual. The standard of how many days it will take is entirely up to him. He agreed first, and what he said was to look at her.
The detail lies in the statement that she was alone. Naruto and Sara didn't actually have much contact, which was why he made it so clear.
If you take more care of her feelings, the other party won't be able to refuse his refusal. After infinite tempering, these details have almost become Naruto's instinctive reaction.
"Okay then, what about tonight? You can always stay, right?"
"Um, well, I can be here in the afternoon, sorry, I" Naruto was indeed a little busy. Even if his time could actually be squeezed in, he could still squeeze in two days.
But he was used to not talking too much, so he only took out one afternoon, and the rest depended on the situation. If Nohara Nao is in a low mood, then he will suddenly appear at night to wake her up.
This back-and-forth provides far more emotional value than simply agreeing to spend the night. The principle is the same, no one will cherish something that can be easily obtained.
Sure enough, Nohara Nao felt a little disappointed when she heard Naruto's words. Naruto raised the corner of his mouth slightly, but did not make a sound.
Suddenly, Nohara Nao came close to him and whispered in his ear.
"If you don't leave tonight, I'll give you a surprise!"
"What kind of surprise?" Naruto looked at her doubtfully, thinking about changing into a maid outfit or a black and white silk nurse uniform? I have already seen these things, but they are actually just the same thing.
"Well, I have an idea. I actually discussed it with Sara." She lowered her voice and whispered into Naruto's ear, as if she was afraid of being heard.
In fact, the upper and lower floors of the house are very empty. Even if Nohara Nao shouts loudly in the living room, there is no need to worry that the neighbors will hear her. However, speaking in a low voice creates a more secretive atmosphere.
"Really or not?" Naruto swallowed and looked at her doubtfully, "Don't test me, Sara and I really have nothing to do with each other."
"I know," she said.
"No, you don't know, are you still testing me?" Although Naruto was almost swayed by her, he still guarded himself, "Sara and I haven't spoken much, but Queen Loulan did help me."
"I really didn't test you. I swear, everything I just said is true." Nohara Nao said seriously, "I really talked to Sarah."
Nohara Nao had indeed talked to Sara a long time ago. She knew that the two of them who did not belong to this world could only rely on Naruto to live from the moment they traveled through time.
Instead of waiting for something that will happen sooner or later, it is better to take the initiative and take the initiative. If it really drags on, when time passes, the two people will be in a different situation.
Sara is not a pedantic person. She has been in this world for more than a year and has gradually accepted the reality of national subjugation. She is now a subjugated princess who knows nothing.
Although she did not give up hope in her heart, she also understood that she had to rely on Naruto to achieve many things, so she successfully reached a consensus with Nohara Nao.
"Stop joking, you said it wasn't a test!" Naruto tickled her, and Nohara Nao smiled and dodged it, her voice changing as she was playing around.
The living room was surrounded by rhythmic and soothing music. An hour later, when the music was almost gone, Nohara Nao grabbed him.
"Take a break."
"If it works, it works. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. What's the point of taking a break?" Naruto asked with a smile.
"No, are you really here to take my life?"
Nohara Nao stood up from the sofa, staggered a few times, finally touched the edge of the sand, stabilized her body, took a deep breath and said.
"I'm going to take a shower first, and then I remember that Sarah opened the door. She didn't seem to have the key."
"Okay." Naruto responded.
When she entered the bathroom, Naruto turned around and took out a comic from the bookshelf on the left to read. He felt a little bored, this was almost a task for him.
But the point is that I don’t know what’s going on with this body. Everything is normal but seems to be a bit too much. He just warmed up, and the opponent's athletes had already taken the initiative to leave the field.
Just like running, the other athlete has given up before he reaches the finish line. Although I had a lot of fun running in the middle, it didn’t seem very interesting to win the championship before reaching the finish line.
Almost instinctively, what Nohara Nao said before appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but feel moved.
Although I don’t know whether what she said is true or not, if one opponent on the sports field is not enough to beat and another player is added, it seems that the game can continue.
Naruto has no opponent in the ten-kilometer long-distance running. Nohara Nao's limit is three kilometers, or even only two kilometers. She herself admitted that she was not good at it and suggested that foreign aid should be hired to run the relay.
In other words, since Naruto's physical strength is so good, running ten kilometers is more than enough for him. So much so that every time he played against Nohara Nao, he won too easily.
If this continues, the meaning of the competition will inevitably be lost, so Nohara Nao proposed a new competition system for relay races. The only difference was that Naruto still ran the entire race, and she asked foreign aid to come in and take over to complete the race.
And this foreign aid is Sara, because Sara is a novice. In order to make the competition fairer, Nohara Nao proposed that she run three kilometers and Sara run two kilometers in the first five kilometers.
She ran the last five kilometers with Sara, but Naruto had to slow down and not deliberately target the two.
Without knowing whether the competition was legal, Naruto did not agree hastily and responded by asking him to think about it. He wanted to hear Sarah's opinion and fulfill Sarah's wish first.
About ten minutes later, there was a knock on the door.
Naruto consciously went to open the door. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Sarah standing outside the door with her ears red and her head lowered, carrying a basket of vegetables, not daring to look at Naruto at all.
"Are you back from grocery shopping?"
"Yeah." Sarah nodded hurriedly, "I'll go to the kitchen and wash the dishes first. You... do you want to drink the newly bought tea? I'll boil some water for you to make."
"Okay." Naruto was much calmer than her, "You don't have to worry about me, I will find something to do myself."
"Okay." Sarah hurried into the kitchen.
Half an hour later, Nohara Nao walked out of the bathroom wiping her wet hair. When she saw the vegetable basket hanging there, she couldn't help but ask.
"Is Sarah back?"
"Yeah, in the kitchen." Naruto was reading comics and drinking new tea.
Nohara Nao didn't care about Naruto, wiped her wet hair and entered the kitchen. Soon there was the sound of frolicking in the kitchen. It seemed that Sara whispered, followed by Nohara Nao's laughter.
At noon, the three of them ate around the dining table, and no one spoke.
After the meal, the two women cleared away the dishes together.
In the afternoon, the three of them went out and strolled around Tuanchu Street, even though the two women were extremely familiar with Tuanchu Street. But I was still chattering excitedly along the way and bought a lot of things.
The money Naruto left to them from the beginning was enough for them to live for decades, so they didn't have to worry about not having enough money. The two even bought Naruto new slippers.
Even though they still had a few new pairs of slippers at home, they decided to buy them.
At sunset, the group returned to the house. After resting for a while, they did not cook but bought some food and beer. It wasn't until the sky gradually darkened that a few people put food and drinks on the table.
Nohara Nao got a pack of red candles from somewhere. The curtains in the living room were all drawn, and there were no lights in the room. Only a few candles were lit on the dining table.
There is also one for the sofa, one for the bedroom and one for the bathroom.
Naruto also began to feel a little interesting. The moment the curtains were closed and the candles were lit, a dark and ambiguous atmosphere appeared. The sense of distance that they had not seen for a long time suddenly became blurred, and even Sara became more talkative.
"cheers!"
The three cups collided together, and Nohara Nao's eyes narrowed into a crescent moon. The firelight danced on the faces of the three people. Sarah's face was red and she sipped her wine in small sips.
"Sara, why do you want to learn ninjutsu?" Naruto realized that the time was almost right and brought up the topic. "No need to be restrained, can you talk about it?"
He didn't use words like "you can tell me", but used a tone that guided her to share, subconsciously letting Sara accept the fact that the three of them were a group.
"I'm fine." Sara seemed a little drunk. She wanted to take another drink to strengthen her courage, but Naruto took it away. (End of chapter)
