Chapter 147 Hiding

Big green tree front.

The light under the street lamp was dim and weak.

An old couple returning from visiting friends stopped in front of the big green tree. Shanzhong Hai turned his head to look in the direction of the big green tree, pointed behind the green tree, and said doubtfully.

"Lino, why did I hear someone crying?"

Yamanaka Reino turned her head and looked at the green tree for a few seconds, then turned her eyes slightly and said.

"Really? Then Haiyi, go over and take a look."

"Okay." Shan Zhonghai responded and walked over there.

Behind the big green tree, the moment Ino heard his father's voice, his mind went blank.

She let go of Naruto so hard that her sobbing suddenly stopped, but the sudden silence made her body start to tremble slightly, and tears continued to flow.

Listening to the increasingly clear sound of her father's footsteps, Ino's heart was beating wildly, and she was so nervous that she tightly hooked her hands around Naruto's neck. She lowered her voice as hard as she could in his ear and asked anxiously.

"what to do?"

Naruto didn't answer, but just grabbed Ino and led him aside. He could hear Ino's violent heartbeat. Ino's reaction was huge and her breathing became rapid, so he held Ino's hand.

The warmth from the palm of his hand slightly helped Ino regain some of his composure. At this time, the footsteps of Yamanaka Haiichi were also very close. The two of them could feel that as long as Yamanaka Hai took two steps forward, he would find the two people who had no way to retreat.

At this time, Li Ye's voice suddenly sounded not far away from the mountain.

"Haiichi, that kid from Ino seems to be in the store."

"Huh?" Yamanaka Haiichi heard this and turned to look at his wife, "Ino was still catching up on her sleep in the afternoon. Is she awake now?"

Behind the big green tree, Ino tightly covered her mouth. Her father's voice was only two meters away from her, and it was blocked by the big green tree.

"Let's go back and take a look first. It's too hard for the child to go on a mission." Yamanaka Reino chuckled.

"good."

After Shanzhong Hai finished speaking, he turned around and walked back, the sound of footsteps slowly fading away.

"I have to go back quickly!" Ino pushed his hand away like an electric shock, and stammered step by step out of the shadow of the big green tree, "You, you, you"

They turned against each other so quickly that Naruto was speechless to Ino. He looked at her talking about you for a long time and couldn't explain why, and then Ino simply turned around and ran away with a blushing face.

Half a minute later, Naruto also walked out from under the big green tree, stood under the tree and looked at the brightly lit Yamanaka Flower Shop for a while, then turned and left.

Taking advantage of the darkness, he walked along Konoha Street to buy some food to take home. There were many shops on the street like a light strip. Naruto blended into the crowd and glanced back and forth at the street food stalls with a casual expression.

There was the sound of steaming hot oil, and the crowd in front of the brightly lit stall was noisy.

"Yes, I want that takoyaki and that one." He pointed at the golden food. He couldn't remember the name for a while, and his words were stuck in place.

"Tempura." someone reminded from behind.

"Yes, that's it." Naruto agreed, but was stunned when he turned his head.

"What's your expression? Are you surprised to see me?" Sakura asked with a smile.

Her eyes narrowed into the arc of a crescent moon, her short pink hair and cyan eyes reflected the bright lights and Naruto's surprised face.

Her skin is snow-white, and her bare arms are like lotus roots, hanging naturally by her sides.

"No, Sakura. Aren't you training with Lady Tsunade at Konoha Hospital?" Naruto thought of the situation in the duty room last month and felt slightly embarrassed.

Her words about who the left assistant was really shocked him.

Later, when the tasks were heavy, I simply avoided them. Class 7 is in name only without Zuosuke, and Kazuko is favored by Tsunade to train as his successor. He is busy studying and completing tasks to accumulate qualifications, and has no time to discipline them.

Sakura entered Tsunade's medical class for further studies, while Naruto, as a temporary worker in Konoha, flexibly shuttled among various genin classes to go on missions.

Generally speaking, the situation of Class 7 is this: the rebellious Zuosuke dropped out of school and went to the sea to seek revenge, Sakura took the initiative to take the postgraduate entrance examination, the former mentor Kakashi was forced to study for a Ph.D., and only Naruto, a street kid, was half-dead and unable to make progress. So much so that the genin could not complete his career.

"I have a day off today, so I went out for a walk alone." Sakura smiled naturally, as if she didn't remember what happened some time ago.

"But Naruto, you have been very busy recently. I haven't seen you and Kakashi-sensei for a long time."

"During the chuunin exams, the village has a backlog of tasks, and there's nothing we can do about being busy." Naruto scratched his face and chatted calmly.

"Guest, your takoyaki and tempura are ready!"

"Oh, thank you."

Naruto reached out to pay and took the food from the boss's hand. He turned to look at Sakura. He originally wanted to find a reason to run away, but she grabbed her clothes in advance and warned her.

"My share will be ready soon, just wait for me."

"Forehead"

Sakura interrupted her spellcasting in advance, and Naruto, unable to escape, had to stand aside and wait. Within a few minutes, Sakura walked out of the crowd holding the takoyaki and blowing on the hot air.

"Come for a walk with me." She smiled.

"Okay." Naruto thought for a moment and agreed.

The night view of Konoha Street is not pretty, and is even a bit monotonous, with all the dim lights as if they are in arrears. The sky was gray without stars or moon.

Naruto walked ahead carrying the food and putting his other hand in his pocket. Sakura was a step behind him and followed slowly. He blew into his mouth and put the steaming takoyaki into his mouth.

"Aren't you going to eat?" Sakura's voice came from behind.

"We have a dog at home. Let's break it down with him when we get back." Naruto replied in a lazy voice.

"cute?"

"It doesn't count? It's a bit scary." He thought for a moment and said.

Sakura chuckled: "Scary? What weird thing did you raise again?"

"I picked it up on the side of the road. I'm a little scared of strangers."

"Naruto." Sakura suddenly stopped and called his name formally.

"Huh?" Naruto stopped, now four or five meters away from Sakura, and looked at her from afar, "What's wrong?"

"Are you avoiding me?"

"No." Naruto denied, but the long distance between the two said everything, "I just don't want to get into trouble. Do you remember Zuosuke?"

"Well" Sakura frowned, "Are you asking me or her?"

"What do you mean?" Naruto's eyelids twitched slightly.

"The Sakura you know, she's hiding." Sakura's eyebrows were crooked, with a smile on her face, and she pointed at her head and said, "I still remember Zuosuke-kun."

"Oh, that's a shame." Naruto walked away.

There were rapid footsteps behind him, and Sakura ran in front of him and stopped him, "Why did you react like this?"

"I'm not familiar with you, so I have nothing to say." Naruto looked completely indifferent.
