His hearing was obscured by the thunder, but he saw her speaking.

His lips were slightly parted, and his expression was not as disgusting or cold as usual. It was the kind of smile that was so gentle that it even contained a trace of nostalgia.

Probably this kind of scenario will only appear at the wedding of couples in love or newlyweds. Such unreserved smiles and eyes are so pure that people can't help but pity them.

The reddish cheeks and confused eyes are like desires pulled out of silk threads. Anyone who sees that cute look will feel wonderful.

Naruto saw her last sentence and it was completely printed in his mind. Silence was more powerful than sound, and the sound seemed to explode in his mind.

I like you too.

Careful words, with the emotion of confession, were conveyed in a low voice in the dim living room. Her eyes were bright and soft.

Naruto was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but hold his breath. Seeing Ino's expression, it was difficult to remain indifferent, so much so that his heart began to beat faster.

Shakespeare's sonnet flashed through my mind. It was a summer that even the gods boasted about, but it could not compare with the gentle and lovely face of a girl.

The violent storm cannot diminish her beauty. Even if all the beauty will wither, the god of death will raise his hand to shade her. Immortal in poetry and eternal in eyes.

Dark clouds covered the balcony above, thunder continued, and branch-like lightning flashed across the clouds.

Raindrops rolled on the wet vines with young buds, and the misty summer rain poured down from above the clouds. The streets were deserted, and wild dogs were running wildly in the alleys.

The cyan eyes seemed to be able to see through, piercing directly into his empty heart. She seemed to be waiting for his answer, in response to Ino's words.

What should I say?

You should say something now! Naruto's fingers on the sofa twitched slightly, as if he was electrocuted, and then he opened his mouth.

He has nothing, and has been like this from the beginning. He lives just to sleep better. He has no big ideals, and his adulthood is far away. If he has a bad character, he will be punished.

A person has a bottom line but the bottom line is flexible, and he has a sense of morality but very little. There is a system just to sleep better, at least to save his life without practicing hard.

After all, he knows that he is not a perfect person, his character has quite a few flaws, some of his ideas are not very correct, and even his view of right and wrong is somewhat distorted.

But even so, he still longs for beautiful things. The girl's soul is hot and her ignorant expression is shining. He also wants to respond, touch and feel her.

"I like it too." The voice was neither high nor low, just enough for Ino, who was halfway across the sofa, to hear it.

He saw Ino's white palms let go of the pillow and nervously landed on the sofa. Their fingers were one meter apart.

In the not-so-bright living room, Ino maintained that posture for a while, moving her fingers slowly toward him. Naruto raised his eyes to look at her, and slowly stretched out his hand.

There was thunder outside the balcony, and the sound of spatulas banging in the kitchen was vaguely clear.

On the sofa in the living room of Yamanaka's house, two white hands slowly slid along the surface of the sofa, one on the left and the other on the right, like trains arriving at each other.

Ino suddenly felt out of breath and her heart was beating wildly. This was the boldest thing she had ever done. Seeing the two hands approaching each other, the scene was a bit thrilling.

She only felt her cheeks were a little hot, and she couldn't take her eyes away from Naruto's hand. His hand seemed slightly larger than hers, and the palm of his hand was like a stove.

The moment their fingertips were about to touch, there was a sudden noise from the other end of the kitchen.

"Ino, can you get the sugar bowl for me?"

"Okay!" Ino suddenly sat up straight on the sofa, straightening her waist, and responded loudly, her face turned crimson, and her neck also turned red.

She stood up in a hurry, glanced at Naruto hurriedly, and left immediately.

Naruto retracted his hand calmly, and the sweet fragrance of Ino still lingered in the air, fleetingly. He walked to the balcony and found that the rain had weakened.

The potted flowers on the balcony are still strong, and the circular holes in the sink are filled with transparent rainwater. It is clear outside the window, and the white fog has dissipated.

After finishing the meal, Naruto left.

After all, Ino's mother was at home, and she would feel constrained if she continued to stay, so she simply said goodbye. Ino's eyes were a little unnatural, and she never looked at him directly.

Occasionally, I could feel Ino's eyes passing by, but they didn't stop. Looking at her again, I could only see that the blush on her face was fading.

"Goodbye."

He left the Yamanaka Flower Shop, holding an umbrella and walking along Konoha Street to go home. Everything was wet, and the afternoon sun appeared, and the golden rain danced like flames.

The second day of vacation.

Naruto squatted under the eaves of the training ground, watching Xiao Li in green training clothes doing one-finger push-ups under the scorching sun, and couldn't help but yawned. The rain that fell yesterday had dried up in the morning.

"How many are there?" he asked, holding his face.

"Four hundred and forty-one." Xiao Li was sweating profusely, and the shadow under his body was completely wet with sweat, "It's not even close."

"Just stop if you do two more." Naruto stood up and said.

"Why?"

"Four, four, four is unlucky. There will be a mission soon." He said matter-of-factly, "This is a big mission, and all four classes have to go."

Xiao Li has a straightforward temper and can't stand up to Naruto. He said "oh" and did two push-ups before getting up obediently.

Most of the time, Xiao Li stayed in the third class, and occasionally he would be taken along by Metkai to perform tasks. After all, he was a direct disciple, so they cooperated more tacitly.

It is precisely because of this that Xiao Li's character is like that of Metkai, unrestrained and naive.

It is indeed good to practice hard, as hard work can make up for weakness. But if he had known earlier, he would not have agreed to accompany Xiao Li to practice. Early in the morning, Naruto would squat here and watch Xiao Li warm up.

"Hurry up and fight. Let's make a deal first. I don't use the tailed beast chakra, and you are not allowed to use the Eight Gate Dungeon." Naruto said nonchalantly, "Restrain your strength and don't beat me to death."

His physical skills are indeed not good. Without the use of Tailed Beast Chakra, he would be even lower than Xiao Li's level.

"Are you wearing something heavy?"

"Weared."

"Have you worn enough? If not, wear more!" Naruto said shamelessly.

Xiao Li checked the weight on his trouser legs, shook his head and said no. Wrapping the bandage on his hand tightly, he stretched out his hand and made a starting gesture towards Naruto.

Naruto sighed and ended slowly.

Xiao Li's taijutsu is more sophisticated than anyone else's, and Naruto could already feel it in the first round, with his extraordinary reaction speed and solid foundation in taijutsu.

Naruto could only keep releasing ninjutsu to restrain him, and his physical skills were barely adequate. It was just training, and he didn't take it too seriously. However, most people would not ask a jinchuuriki to train him, but Xiao Li would.

Generally speaking, if the tailed beast chakra in the body is not used, it is a waste, but Naruto didn't want to ruin the training ground with Xiao Li again, so he simply added many restrictions.

This training is meaningless. Xiao Li is dodging various small ninjutsu from Naruto, either wind style, thunder style or melting style.

I can't say it's powerful, but it's definitely disgusting.

After fighting for a long time, Xiao Li couldn't find a chance to get close. Finally, he found a flaw. Xiao Li's eyes lit up with excitement, and he jumped up to the high altitude and used Konoha Whirlwind.

Naruto frowned slightly, as if he suddenly thought of something, he suddenly called up the system.

[The funeral of Black Hoe Thunder Fang!]

A group of men in black carrying a white coffin appeared out of thin air, with the dead Black Hoe Lei Ya walking at the front. The coffin opened with a bang, and Xiao Li was sealed into the coffin without any explanation.

"Dong dong dong!~!" Xiao Li resisted desperately in the coffin, but was restricted by the power of the rules and could not forcefully break the coffin in a short time.

Naruto forcibly interrupted the ninjutsu, so he didn't dig a hole and bury Xiao Li.

Although this ninjutsu is a bit strange, it is still very easy to use. The funeral procession was still, and there was only the sound of the coffin board being kicked.

Naruto's nose twitched, and he ignored him. He let him out and started arguing again. To argue, use a hammer, only barbarians like to do such troublesome things as fighting and killing.

"What is that?"

Outside the training ground, Tiantian pointed at the white coffin in surprise and asked.

"It's nothing, it's just a ninjutsu." Naruto had already walked to the faucet, turned on the water with a splash and rinsed his arm.

If he didn't appear suddenly every day, he could even take a bath in the open air.

"Ninjutsu?" Tiantian was a little stunned, but he didn't find it strange at all, "Where's Xiao Li? The mission is over, and Master Hokage asked us to gather and prepare for the mission."

"So fast?" Naruto raised his head and looked at Tiantian, slightly surprised.

"Well, there's news from the Hokage Building." Tiantian looked around, "Isn't Xiao Li here? Then I'll look elsewhere."

"Here it is." Naruto sneered and released the ninjutsu with a bang.

The coffin-carrying team disappeared, and Xiao Li rolled out of the coffin. His movements were still slightly bent, as if he was preparing to hammer the coffin.

Tiantian: "."

She moved her eyes upward and looked away.

She was slightly depressed. The people around her seemed to be normal except for Ningzi, but the teachers and companions were all weird guys.

"What kind of ninjutsu is that? It's so powerful!" Xiao Li jumped up from the ground.

"Ordinary ninjutsu, used for pranks." Naruto replied casually, then pointed in the direction of Tenten and said, "We are about to prepare for a mission, something happened over there with Sunagakure."

"Great!" Xiao Li pumped his fist and shouted loudly.

But he quickly reacted and added stammeringly.

"I mean, it's such a shame."

Tiantian held her forehead and looked at her teammates, feeling that her youth was not beautiful at all. She took a deep breath and said to the two of them.

"Neji and the others are already preparing. You should hurry up, everyone will go."
