Shikamaru was so smart that he immediately saw what Naruto wanted to express. He immediately frowned and touched his chin in thought.

"I heard from my father that the situation in all countries is very tense now. Konoha probably won't spend so much attention on technology, and maybe the Ninja War is coming."

Ding Ci was heartless, picked up a skewer of barbecue, and said nonchalantly.

"Anyway, as long as Tsunade-sama is here, nothing will happen."

Naruto smiled, knowing that now was not the time to talk about this, so he immediately turned to another topic. The atmosphere at the table had been very lively, and several people were familiar with each other, chatting and laughing, and it was late at night before they knew it.

Shikamaru: "I always feel like that guy has something on his mind, but things outside are indeed much better than Konoha, and the village is still as conservative as ever."

Choji: "After all, this is a ninja village. Ninjas take pride in practicing and restraining their desires. If it is too luxurious, it will not be conducive to practice."

Ino: "It's just a communicator. Generally speaking, it makes life more convenient, right? But having said that, Konoha has actually equipped genin classes with ear-worn chakra communicators, but they can only communicate over short distances and in a small range."<

/p>

Shikamaru: "That thing often malfunctions and is actually not very useful."

Naruto came back after paying the bill and glanced at the table with piles of plates. He didn't sit down, but stood beside Ino, with a dim overhead lamp above his head.

"In the future, we will still have to develop science and technology, and peace in the ninja world will be the main theme."

"Hey." Shikamaru glanced sideways at Naruto and joked, "This is beginning to show your high-level demeanor. You are quite skilled in speaking."

"That's right." Naruto smiled, "When we meet in the future, we have to call you sir."

"Xinei."

After the meeting, Shikamaru and Choji went back arm in arm. The two of them drank juice, but Choci was too full to walk.

"Where to go?" he asked, glancing at Ino with lowered eyes.

"Go home."

On the way back, Naruto asked casually, "Are you going to take over from your father in the future?"

Ino turned her head to look at him, remained silent for a while, and then replied in a low voice.

"The secret skills of the mountain clan are used for communication and liaison work. They also cooperate with the torture squad to do intelligence interrogation and collection work. The secret skills are not spread to others."

The meaning is already obvious, there is only one daughter in the Yamanaka family.

"Do you like doing this?" he asked again.

"Like it? I don't know, I probably won't hate it." Ino said, "I haven't particularly liked anything since I was a child. I just don't hate it."

Naruto stared back at her, and Ino felt a little guilty because of his stare, so she swallowed and said.

"What?"

"It's okay." He said, "Since you want to take over, you might as well pay more attention to communicators and monitoring. Although these are rare in Konoha, they are available outside."

"Moreover, I mentioned it to Tsunade-sama. As long as there is peace in the ninja world, Konoha will also usher in changes in a few years."

"Are you thinking about me?" Ino suddenly felt a little hot.

"What? Are you meddling in your own business?"

"No." Ino looked at the shadow on the roadside, and her heart suddenly became chaotic, "I just think Shikamaru is right, peace in the ninja world is not that easy."

"The recent increase in missions is due to the tense relationship between the major ninja villages. If this continues, there may be a war within two or three years."

"Don't worry, there will be people to hold up the sky if it falls." He comforted, "Who knows what will happen in the future. Maybe there will be peace in the past few years."

"Maybe." Ino responded, obviously not believing it.

But Naruto knew very well that the vitality of Sunagakure and Konoha was severely damaged, and Kumogakure was demoralized by him. Iwagakure Village has always been in a state of drought, relying on a large wild tree to support it.

As for the Kirigakure Village, he has some ideas, but once he completes the quest line of the Seven Great Ninja Swords, no matter how ambitious Terumi Mei is, it will be difficult to make any waves.

As for the Akatsuki organization, which was temporarily frustrated, it probably wouldn't act rashly until new members were added. After a month, he would just take the time to go to Yuyin Village with Jiraiya.

As long as the Akatsuki organization is wiped out before the end of this year, even if they cannot fight together, they can still be driven into darkness. As for Nagato, Konan and Obito, there is still a long time, so slowly figure it out and kill them if you can.

In the remaining days, Naruto and Ino met frequently and talked about plans for modernizing and popularizing communicators.

Ino really wanted to reform Konoha's communications, and Naruto happened to know a little bit about it. He had seen the prosperous times and the prototype of Snow Country's technology, and his opinions were very targeted.

"I'm leaving in two days." He suddenly raised his head and said without warning.

"Where to go?" Ino asked subconsciously.

After a few seconds, she suddenly realized that it might be a secret mission that could not be told, and she immediately changed her question.

"The day after tomorrow?"

"Not sure, yes." He sat on the edge of the low tatami table in the living room and put his feet in. In winter, this place would be covered with a thick layer of cups and hung with a heater.

He waved to Ino, motioning for her to come closer.

"What?" Ino didn't think too much.

"Wait until I come back." Naruto whispered into her ear.

Ino was immediately startled, and she fell backwards, revealing her bony feet from under the low table. In a panic, she saw the man crawling over, and her breath suddenly suffocated.<

/p>

"You" she was trembling a little.

"What's wrong with me?" Naruto stared at her, his body very close to Ino, staring at her with burning eyes, "Tell me, what's wrong with me?"

Ino stared at his wide hanging collar, glanced inside and didn't dare to look any further, her face turned red. Every time she heard what he said or what you said, Ino couldn't help but jump a few times.
p>

He was really listening to her carefully, which made him a little happy.

"Naruto."

He was stunned for a moment and his movements stagnated. Looking at the hesitant and restrained look on Ino's face, he suddenly regained consciousness. He was just a little embarrassed, so he simply stood up.

"I'll get you a glass of water."

"Yes." Ino suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, gently caressing her chest with her palms, turning her back to him and breathing in small breaths.

After half a minute, Naruto came back with a glass of water and sat down at his original position. His face had a clean expression, as if nothing had happened.

"Everything discussed in the past few days is useful, please note it down." He held the glass, took a sip of water, and lowered his eyes to Ino's plain hands on the table.

After a short pause, he continued.

"Konoha will gradually introduce it in the future. I will talk to Tsunade-sama then. The problem should not be big."

"Why are you helping me like this?" Ino asked suddenly, raising her head and looking at him.

"Are you stupid?" He drank water tactically and glanced at her sideways, "I'm happy to."

This is her ideal, not really a dream, just an idea she has conceived since childhood. He just wants to do his best to help her build the world that belongs to her.

There is no need for earth-shattering deeds, just to introduce the technologies that have emerged in the ninja world into Konoha. Then make some changes to adapt to Konoha's situation, and finally it becomes a plan.

When the plan is passed and Konoha slowly changes, it becomes more convenient for people to communicate emotions and messages. Probably, that is her ideal.

It's very small, but he is willing to help her realize it.
