Naruto looked at her smile and didn't know how to respond for a moment, so he could only smile guiltily.
Except for Ino and Hinata, most of the women he interacted with had some interest in them, but Tayu didn't even think about getting anything from him.
Even children.
The too pure emotion made Naruto a little confused about what to do, and he usually didn't think about it subconsciously. But I've seen it all, so I can't hide it forever.
After three meals a day, Uzumaki Naruto, who had always been carefree, got up to make tea. Wrapped casually in his pajamas, he stood by the window holding hot tea and said something over his shoulder.
"I'm a little busy here, and I can't trust others. How about you come over and help me?"
Tayuya rubbed his stiff face and looked at him lazily, "Okay."
"Why don't you ask?"
"I don't want to ask, but is it far from Konoha?" she asked.
"In the country of Taki." Naruto hesitated, "It's a bit far, but I will go over to see you from time to time. You know, I never lie to you."
"Okay." She agreed without hesitation, and then asked, "I heard on the road that the Country of Rain, the Country of Grass, and the four small countries were all surrounded by people. Is it you who did it?"
"Yes, I have wiped out the four small countries." He nodded. "If we don't do this, the war will never end. In fact, I don't care about the ninja world in a hundred years."
"The nature of these five major countries is that before I can close my eyes, the war will continue several times. It's really annoying, so why not let them calm down a little bit."
"War is not a good thing. Too many people will be displaced because of it." Tayuya agreed. She has traveled to many places along the way and has seen too much helplessness.
Suddenly, she turned to look at Naruto, as if she realized something.
"Are you trying to prevent a war?"
"It doesn't count. It's just so that I can live a more comfortable life and not be disturbed by those bad things." Naruto narrowed his eyes, "In small-scale wars, as long as too many people are not involved, I am completely free of those bad things." No matter."
"As long as the result is good, the purpose doesn't matter." Tayuya smiled, "But I don't care much about that. If you want to do it, then I will help you."
Hearing this, Naruto hesitated and added another sentence.
"That said, this is just a job, not a wish, a mission, a goal that must be achieved, etc. Well, you understand, even I don't put much thought into it."
If it were someone else, such as Kurotsuchi or Hydrangea, that bastard kunoichi, he wouldn't have to say these unnecessary words. Because the genes of catching fish and lying are flowing in the blood of these two ninjas, needless to say.
But if Tayuya is a simple-minded person and hears her asking herself that question, he obviously just wants to make the four small countries disgust the five big countries and make them calm down.
It's really not for peace in the ninja world. He doesn't have such a grand dream at all. It's always because the damn child of destiny didn't show up.
This made Naruto, the version eldest father, have to take action and sort out a lot of confusing things in advance, but he was not very willing to do these things, let alone enthusiastic.
Without the threat of the Otsutsuki clan, Naruto would not even want to care about the Ninja War. It's a pity that there is no if, he still doesn't know if Jiraiya has found the Child of Destiny.
Seeing Tayuya's confused expression, Naruto had to say a few more words.
"It really doesn't matter. Even if you did it casually in the past, it doesn't matter. It's just an insignificant thing. There is no need to fight for the country of Taki, and there is no need to work too hard."
"Just a routine, you know? Having someone I trust there, that's enough."
"Okay," she said.
Naruto scratched his head in confusion, and for the first time, he felt as if his words had fallen on cotton. He wanted to say something else, but stopped when he saw her look like that.
~~
"Your work efficiency is a bit slow, Black Zetsu, are you okay?" Naruto found Black Zetsu again and asked the question he had wanted to ask for a long time.
"It's up to you to take care of it. Have you collected both tailed beasts?" Hei Jue was really furious. He had been working as a freelancer for hundreds of years, and now it was as if he was working on the assembly line of a black factory.
This Uzumaki Naruto really deserves to die, why doesn't anyone come out to take him in?
"Not yet, I only got one tailed beast." Naruto said perfunctorily, "But mainly because your progress is not very fast. If I had done it earlier, I would have been under too much pressure."
"What's the meaning?"
"Of course you have to be prepared so that I can attack Gaara Kazekage. Otherwise, do you think that attacking a Kazekage only requires three cups of self-punishment to get over?" Naruto was speechless.
"You are not having an affair with Feng Ying's sister." Hei Jue looked confused.
"Hey! Hey! Hey! You can't talk nonsense, what words, what are you talking about!" Naruto directly interrupted Black Zetsu's words, "Don't talk nonsense, forget it, even if what you said is true. ,so what?"
"Can we take a shortcut to knock out the Kazekage, and then extract the tailed beast from the human body?" He was speechless, "What you said is true."
"I'm waiting for you to collect all the tailed beasts now. To tell you the truth, as long as you are ready. Collecting one tail is not difficult at all. It can be done in less than two days."
"Really?" Hei Jue was doubtful.
"There's no need to lie to you, but you need to speed up the progress." Naruto warned Black Zetsu sternly, his tone full of dissatisfaction, "If I can live to your age and still can't fight a few small tailed beasts, then I just stopped living."
Hei Jue: "."
He found that his current life was really frustrating. As long as he had anything to do with this bitch, he would never go smoothly. Naruto Uzumaki should really deserve to die!
~~
Time passed little by little, and Naruto once again fell into a spinning situation.
For the first time, he realized how fucking busy he could be. As Ino and Hinata were about to unload the goods, he went from visiting every other day to being there every day.
Then he sneaked out in the middle of the night and went to Taki Country to meet Tayuya.
He began to regret why he said that he would watch Tayuya every once in a while. If it was just Tayuya, forget it. He had to go to the Kingdom of Rain and the ancient Loulan Kingdom.
Fortunately, Naruto's body is indeed strong. Most people would have died long ago if they did this, but he survived. Sleep for an hour a day, and the rest of the time is spent on careful time management.
It wasn't that he was greedy, it was mainly that he overestimated Hei Jue's strength. He didn't expect Hei Jue to be such a waste, far beyond his imagination of Hei Jue.
But it was impossible for him to help Black Zetsu collect the tailed beasts. In order to save trouble, Naruto told Black Zetsu very forcefully that he was only responsible for the one and eight tailed beasts, and Black Zetsu was responsible for collecting the rest of the tailed beasts.
Now he really regrets it. If Black Zetsu could collect the tailed beasts in the time he estimated, then Otsutsuki Kaguya would have been resurrected now.
In this way, Naruto only needs to accompany Ino and Hinata, and he can make excuses openly. It’s no longer possible now, so I have to make do with time management.
Every day was almost full, and half of his ninja world was flying around, unable to tell the difference between day and night. Until he was about to become a father, time suddenly stopped.
To be on the safe side, he still brought Hinata back from the Land of Snow. Currently, Hinata and Hanabi are staying at the Hyuga Clan's residence to wait for the birth.
Perhaps the child was the top priority. Hinata Hizu was rare and did not put on an ugly face. He looked calm and asked several Hyuga clan members working in the hospital to take care of Hinata.
In this regard, Yamanaka Haiichi had no reaction, but the two groups of people had a tacit understanding and did not mention the other party.
Naruto was also a coquettish person. He would send tea to Yamanaka Haiichi, either snow lotus or some rare tonic. Anyway, buy whatever is rare, and focus on the one with nourishing value.
Even though Yamanaka Hai had a cold face, he was not timid and took the initiative to give away things like fishing rods. Anyway, the colder his old father-in-law's attitude was, the more he gave them away until the other party spoke.
For no other reason than that, he knew that Yamanaka Hai was thin-skinned, and as long as he had the patience to delve into the opponent's weaknesses, there was nothing he couldn't win over time.
"Stop standing, sit down." In the end, Yamanaka Haiichi couldn't bear it and accepted Naruto's gift, feeling embarrassed to show a cold face to Naruto again.
"Okay." Naruto smiled.
Yamanaka Haiichi was quite helpless. His cabbages had been eaten, and there was no point in killing the pigs now. Seeing that the little cabbage is almost coming out, forget it.
On the contrary, the two parties involved, Ino and Hinata, were not shy about it. Sometimes they would ask Naruto, Ino or Hinata, how was the other party's situation?
Naturally, Naruto wouldn't tell the truth. Well, 90% of it was true. The only thing that was modified was that the other party had been sleepy recently.
Obviously neither of them were in this situation, it was just a buffer excuse that Naruto found for himself. For example, he stayed in Konoha Hospital for a while, a little longer.
Ino would take the initiative to urge her, "I don't need you anymore. I'm about to go see Hinata and don't let anything happen to her. Oh, go ahead. It's really not an angry thing to say."
Similarly, on Hinata's side, she would frown slightly.
"Naruto, you go and accompany Ino. I actually have nothing to do. Everything I need is ready, not so soon."
Ino and Hinata gave birth at about the same time, and Naruto was almost never leaving. He was either staying at Konoha Hospital or the hospital in Snow Country.
Fortunately, although Naruto has little experience, there are enough people on both sides, so he is not actually needed. What he can do is relatively little, mostly chatting and accompanying, and then washing fruits.
The rest of the time is just waiting, long waiting.
So he began to think about the wedding. It was originally delayed because of the ninja war, but now the war is over. But the problem is that Otsutsuki Kaguya doesn't know what resurrection is, and when the time comes, it will be in a mess again.
Over there, a large circle of people have gathered outside the ward. It can only be said that Ino's affinity is not acquired, and Yamanaka Reno's popularity is so good.
Naruto had never thought that there were so many noble ladies in Konoha. It could only be said that Naruto's eyes would automatically block those who were not good-looking and unimportant.
As for the wards of Konoha Hospital, the Kakashi people had not yet fully returned from the battlefield, but they had already made arrangements with the hospital in advance to vacate the best rooms.
Outside the corridor.
"Kakashi said he was coming back?" Naruto was a little surprised. He didn't expect his mentor to pay so much attention to him. "When will he arrive? Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow?"
"Today." When Yamanaka Hai saw that Naruto was no longer so unpleasant, at least he no longer had the urge to slap him to death.
"Are you so anxious?" Naruto was a little moved.
"Yes, Kakashi said that he didn't want to stay in that hellish place in the negotiation room for another day. He planned to train Shikamaru up when he came back and step down as soon as possible." Yamanaka Haiichi said.
Naruto:"."
It turned out that he didn't want to work. He was speechless and thought that Kakashi really didn't forget his original intention. Are you training Shikamaru? It would be good for Shikamaru to be Hokage. There is always friendship.
Over at Hinata's station, there was a special person to take care of Hinata, so Naruto went to take a look around if he had nothing to do. However, Hinata Hinata was much more talkative than Yamanaka Haiichi, and usually ignored Naruto.
Naruto didn't feel guilty either, and he swaggered past Hinata and Hinata every time. If you see that he looks bad, call him Rizu-sama, if you see that he is in a good mood, call him uncle.
The main thing is to adapt to the wind, but fortunately the wind direction is also good.
Every time Hinata Hizu saw Naruto, the gloomy expression on his face could almost drip with water, and he wished he could write the word "bad luck" on his face.
However, the other party has already cooked the rice. In the final analysis, Hinata and Hinata have nothing to do with Naruto.
Two or three days passed almost bit by bit, and everyone involved was counting them hour by hour. Naruto ran in both directions and didn't sleep at all, and could only rest in fragmented time.
The Yamanaka couple guarded Ino almost every step of the way. Sometimes when Naruto came, he wouldn't be able to stay long, and would be pulled out by Yamanaka Haiichi so as not to disturb Ino's rest.
On the other side, Hinata Hizu said that Naruto was not welcome, but he would not stop him from entering when Naruto came. On the contrary, Hinata and Hinata were a little absent-minded, pretending to pass by the courtyard outside Hinata's room from time to time.
"How is your sister doing now?" Hinata Hizu finally couldn't hold it back and called Hinata Hanabi to ask, and then received a positive answer.
"Everything is fine. Sister, she is a very good ninja, and her physical fitness is actually very good." Hanabi smiled, "Father, don't worry too much, everything will go well."
"I'm not worried, I'm just asking casually." Hinata Hiashi said with a straight face, "If your sister didn't have an affair with that soul, she wouldn't have completely embarrassed me!"
Hanabi was a little speechless, but it was hard to say anything. She knew that her father had a way of telling the truth.
Kakashi was indeed late, but he made it back in time. I paid a symbolic visit to Ino and Hinata respectively, and then met with Yamanaka Haiichi and Hinata Hizashi to talk about some village affairs.
Finally, he finally remembered that he still had an apprentice. When the master and apprentice met, they were speechless and choked.
"Naruto, do you know? I have only accepted you, Sasuke, and Sakura as three disciples in my life." Kakashi said sadly, "Although your abilities surpass mine, you have also disgraced me in the education world. "(End of chapter)
