Anko may have been born stupid, so her teacher Orochimaru abandoned her. Just hold on and wait for hope, there will always be someone who doesn't care about her stupidity.

"Go back by yourself." He repeated again, "It's too dangerous to perform missions with you, um. As for the reason, you should know, so I would rather go alone."

"Tch, I'm too lazy to go." Anko curled her lips. Of course she knew what Naruto was referring to, "Just in time, I'm going home for a vacation."

"Your vacation should be over, all you have to do is go back to work." Naruto deliberately reminded.

"Then continue to go to work and fish, it's almost the same as taking a vacation." Hongdou spread his hands, looking like a salty fish of a veteran, and showed the same scornful look as Aniya.

"You are amazing."

Watching Anko go away, Naruto waited for a while and then went away in another direction.

The mission of the Country of Rain can be put aside for a while. He seriously suspected that Nagato was fishing. It was easy for Konoha to explain it, and he would not be held accountable anyway. Anko was the leading Jonin and took full responsibility.

Short book street.

He walked through the busy market and stopped in front of a house. He took out the key from the sealed space and skillfully pushed it in to unlock the door.

The heavy wooden door creaked, and slightly hasty footsteps came from upstairs. Tayuya stood barefoot in the corridor on the second floor, holding on to the railing and looking towards the first floor.

Three months later, I finally came back.

"You're back?" Tayuya's voice wasn't very surprising, it was a little flat, and she didn't speak fast.

"Yeah." Naruto thought she was angry. After all, there had been no news from him since the end of the year.

In fact, he was not usually busy, and he had some free time during that time in the village. But even when he was free, he never thought of sending a letter or going over to take a look.

What Sakura said is actually right. Apart from being special to Ino and Hinata, he is also quite cruel to others. Rather than being cruel, it is better to say that he doesn't care that much.

When he left at the end of the year, he said he needed some time to think about it, so he really didn't have any news until he figured it out. Tanshu Street is not too far from Konoha, but he has never been there again.

Three months passed in a flash. If he hadn't suddenly had a clear idea, maybe it wouldn't be surprising if he figured out that it would be six months, ten months, two years, or three years.

His heart is indeed made of stone. If his thoughts are not clear, there will be no results for ten or eight years. One day he will figure it out, and everything will be easier to say, and he no longer needs to be imprisoned by his thoughts all the time.

"In a bad mood?" He went into the kitchen and poured a glass of water. When he came out, he leaned against the door, looking slightly tired.

After resurrecting Orochimaru, he never rested. Whether it was driving the shadow of death or rushing, it was not an easy task for him.

Naruto changed into a dark windbreaker on the road, and it was almost dark when he arrived at Tanshu Street. The dust was everywhere, so he opened the door and let out a sigh before going into the kitchen to drink water.

After drinking a glass of water, the burning and itchy throat was relieved.

Tayuya was stunned for a moment when she heard Naruto's question.

"Me?"

"Is there anyone else here?" He sounded a little shy, raised his eyebrows and glanced at Tayuya, leaning against the door with a smile in his eyes.

Tayuya was lying on the sofa on the first floor, her long white legs hanging casually on the sofa, holding the TV remote control in her hand and pressing it carelessly.

"No." Tayu didn't say much, he responded and said nothing more.

The only sound in the living room was the TV, which was quiet. Naruto didn't pay attention, put down the glass of water and went upstairs to wash up. It was getting late.

By the time he came out of the bathroom on the first floor, the living room had become dark. The TV was on, and Tayuya was nowhere to be seen. He might have gone upstairs.

There was no TV downstairs, so he thought about it and knocked on her door directly.

"What's wrong?" Tayuya asked, with no expression on his face.

"What are you angry about?" He had just finished taking a shower, the ends of his hair were slightly wet, and his blond hair fell casually on his forehead. When he spoke, his expression was gentle and a little more human.

Seeing this, Tayuya unconsciously grabbed the palm of her hand. It was the first time she saw that person's demeanor, and he really lowered his attitude to coax people, which even made her feel a little uncomfortable.

In her impression, Naruto is definitely not a good person. In addition to coaxing people to quit, he uses other tricks. He threatens, deceives and uses endless methods.

But he was obviously willing to be deceived, even if he knew there would be no results. I didn't feel aggrieved after not seeing each other for six years, and I didn't feel much in the past three months.

But seeing each other again without any warning made her have some emotional ups and downs. She felt something she had never felt before. She felt sad, but she didn't know what she was feeling sad about.

"I don't know." She said, standing at the door.

Her red hair is hanging down, and Tayuya is only wearing a loose burgundy T-shirt that goes down to her thighs. It looks like a miniskirt, and the part of her exposed thighs is so white that it shines.

"Because this market town restricts you and is incompatible with you?" Naruto asked, "You should go to a bigger place and see more scenery."

"Instead of huddled here alone in the house, just waiting for me to come back and hang around me. This kind of life makes you feel depressed?"

At that moment, Tayuya suddenly realized that the person in front of him was still as cruel as before. He picked the things he cared about and focused on his weak points.

"I didn't!" Tayuya bit her lower lip, raised her head, and stared at him, her eye circles slowly turning red.

Even though she knew this man did it on purpose, she still felt aggrieved in her heart. Obviously he knew what she had said, as long as he said it.

Even if it takes three or thirty years, she will wait. It’s not that she can’t bear the loneliness. Even if this is a small place, even if there is no beautiful scenery here.

In the past six years, she has traveled to too many places and met too many people. She has traveled thousands of miles and seen too many scenery along the way, but she still likes him after going all over the place.

He knew it clearly, but he still said it deliberately. He was still as tender and cruel as before.

"Yeah." Naruto stood by the door and looked behind her. There were several things on the desk, which seemed to be a few gadgets to kill time.

"What I mean is that you don't need to put too many expectations into me. You can't just live for me all your life. You should have other things. I have time."

"You said you need some time to think about it. Is this your answer?" Tayuya stared at him, without much expression on his face, and his heart was slightly sour.

"No." Naruto frowned. Tayuya seemed to be becoming less and less like her. There was a slight change in her personality, and she seemed to be more smoky.

If Tayuya was just a blank piece of paper before, applying color little by little, Tayuya now can think about things in his mind, care about many things, and express his emotions.

"What is that?" Tayu didn't move away, standing there as if wanting to let Naruto finish his words.

"I have a long enough life," he said.

"Huh? I don't understand." She looked at him, but she didn't mean to close the door.

"You like to go outside and take a look, whether it's prosperous or desolate. I prefer to stay, you know what I mean, just find a place to stay."

Naruto frowned and continued to sign.

"Sometimes after staying for a long time, I will change places, not necessarily where I stay, but in the end I can't stand running around. I don't want to wrong you and stay in one place for me."

Hearing this, Tayuya bit her lower lip tightly and curled her palms into fists.

"I can stay."

"How long can you stay, a year or two? I still don't have time. If I stay in Konoha in the future, the number of times we will meet is only a handful."

"I I don't know."

She vaguely knew that it was a matter of her identity. Even if she went to Konoha, she would be recognized too easily. So she could only stay outside, so the two could not meet.

"Actually, these are not problems, and I will not stay in Konoha forever." Naruto changed his words, and Tayuya suddenly came back to reality.

"What?"

"I mean, you don't need to be restrained because of me. I won't stick to Konoha in the future, I don't know how long it will take, but" Naruto said.

"Even if you travel thousands of miles and go to more places, you can still find me. I like you, and I may have children in the future. You don't have to choose between both ends."

"Before I leave Konoha, you can go further. No matter how long the journey is, there will be a time to stop. By that time, I will probably have been somewhere."

"The country of snow, the country of rain, the country of grass. I am not sure about it myself, but I am certain of one thing. I like you. No matter how far you go, you are not alone. We will meet again eventually."

"Is this your answer?" Tayuya squeezed her palms and pretended to be calm. She thought a lot in that moment, but she didn't expect him to give such an answer.

No matter how far we go, we are never alone, we will eventually meet again.

That man still liked to lie as always, but what he said really made her unable to resist. There were only two things Tayuya wanted to do, go to more places and be with him.

When the two conflict, she would rather choose the latter. Just wait, even if it takes a year or two. If he asks, just say that he is enough.

These were just her imagination, but all her preparations were in vain.

And he seemed to have really thought about it carefully and gave the most appropriate answer for the two of them. She stood there in a daze, and when she came to her senses, Naruto had already come in.

The door was closed with a click, and he looked at Tayuya and smiled.

Late at night, the two of them were tightly intertwined, and he could feel her soft back. In the second half of the night, all the passion faded away, and the moonlight was as bright as water.

Tayuya got up from the quilt, found a suitable position in his arms and opened his eyes. He stared at the hazy window and said hesitantly.

"I won't disturb you. No matter what, I will come back here every year. I can wait, no matter how many years."
