Chapter 155 It Has to Be You, Ninth Lama

"It's nothing." Ino turned away, her face suddenly turning red.

"Oh~!"

Naruto showed a teddy bear expression that I understand, and then quickly took a few steps back. As expected, Ino became anxious, stood up straight as if excited, and said with shame and anger.

"What are you doing? Damn it! You're a loser! You're perverted! You have a foot fetish! You're a scumbag!"

"Thanks for the compliment."

"This is not a compliment! You!!" Ino was completely helpless with him. She held the bathrobe in one hand and pointed at Naruto with her fingers shaking slightly in anger.

Naruto smiled very restrainedly and didn't say anything else. He turned and entered the kitchen, and then the voice came out.

"You guys sit down for a while first. The kitchen has cooked hot soup to ward off the cold. After drinking the soup, your clothes will be almost dry."

Ino and Hinata looked at each other and looked away silently.

Neither of them is the kind of person who is willing to hurt others, but they also have a resilience. If there is a thorn in their hearts, they are willing to let it grow slowly, but they will pull it out without hesitation when they think it is appropriate.

During the long time in the bathroom just now, Ino and Hinata had already found an answer to the problem. But it only exists in their minds and has no impact on the real world.

Naruto didn't know what they talked about, he just thought it was a little girl's talk. Even if you know it, you won't take it to heart. People have thousands of thoughts and they may change at any time.

And he just needs to continue living according to his original life trajectory. If you have no expectations, there will be no disappointments. Don't expect too much from others.

On the table.

"It will be better if you drink some soup." Naruto divided two bowls of hot soup with a spoon and pushed them to Ino and Hinata who were sitting next to each other.

The three of them formed a long and narrow triangle on the dining table. The clock on the wall was ticking, and a few wisps of white smoke slowly rose from the dining table.

He belatedly looked up at the two women, and through the heat rising from the birds, he saw two slightly stiff faces, like the tired expressions of two friends who had reluctantly ended their hustle and bustle.

Outside the balcony, it was getting late.

The empty living room was quieter than ever. The apartment door was closed tightly, and the hustle and bustle of Konoha Street was isolated. The sound was so low that it seemed as if it was far away.

Naruto glanced at the three bowls of hot soup on the table, knocked on the table nonchalantly, and said half-jokingly, ignoring the atmosphere.

"If anyone doesn't drink, for the sake of health, we can only stay here overnight and observe."

The place was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Hinata kept her head lowered but made no move. Naruto was sure that both women heard him clearly.

Finally, Ino looked at him, her eyes misty and her voice frighteningly soft.

"you……"

With a hint of hoarse crying, her expression was completely different from the usual generous Ino that Naruto knew.

Naruto was slightly startled, but did not avoid it. He raised his eyes and looked at Ino solemnly. Although he didn't know what was wrong with Ino, he knew clearly that if he hesitated at this time, it would be the end.

"What's wrong?"

"I've been struggling with one thing." Ino felt a little depressed, tears seemed to be rippling in her eyes, and they were about to burst out.

For the first time, he saw a completely different expression on Ino's face. Her eyes were watery, with a hint of torment and pleading.

It seemed that she could no longer endure Naruto's pretense. Although there was no need to fully explain it now, she still wanted to know what Naruto thought of her.

"I"

Just as Ino was about to say something, Hinata suddenly raised her hand to the hot soup and began to drink it one spoonful at a time. He didn't say a word during this period, he just drank soup.

It seemed that he was completing his task and finished the soup in a hurry.

Seeing this, Ino's words that were about to be spoken stopped in his throat, his mouth opened but no sound came out. Hinata had already finished the soup, lowered her head and stood up and said.

"Sorry, Naruto-kun, Ino, I have to go back."

With that said, Hinata quickly walked into the bathroom holding her bathrobe. Only Ino and Naruto were left sitting at the dining table. After a while, Ino also stood up with a crash and said something muffled.

"I'm going back too."

Then he also went into the bathroom to get dry clothes, and Hinata had already put on clothes and walked out. She lowered her eyes and bowed to Naruto, then opened the door and left as if running away.

Naruto covered his face and gasped.

He suddenly realized that something terrible seemed to have happened between the two of them, but it seemed pointless to ask now.

After a while, Ino also walked out.

She didn't say goodbye, she just looked at Naruto deeply, shed a tear and pursed her lips before leaving.

Naruto was suddenly the only one left in the living room facing a pot of hot soup. After a moment of silence, Kyuubi poked his head out from the direction of the balcony, and happened to meet Naruto's blue eyes.

"Kid, where are your two owners?" Jiuwei asked.

"Gone." He wasn't angry either.

In other words, there was nothing to be angry about. Naruto had nothing to lose from the current situation. No matter what Ino and Hinata think, it will not affect him.

It is what it is, and there is no need for him to make any commitments or give up at this age. It doesn’t matter whether you continue to pretend to be Hutu or you really don’t care.

In short, nothing can go wrong if you do nothing.

"Leave? You're not angry, are you? What will happen to my wine in the future?" Kyuubi is simple and innocent. He doesn't care about humans tonight, he only cares about wine.

"That's right, how can we have wine in the future?" Naruto lowered his head to drink the soup, took a few sips and then looked at Kyuubi who was standing in front of the balcony window, saying hello.

"Jiu Xiaoxiao, come here and have some soup. If you don't have money in the future, you can go early."

Before he finished speaking, Naruto saw Kyuubi silently returning to the balcony, closing the floor-to-ceiling windows and starting to practice backflips without saying a word.

Seeing this, Naruto touched his chin and stopped drinking the soup. He simply stood up and walked to the balcony, squatting next to Kyuubi, and watching Kyuubi's backflip from a 360-degree perspective.

The girl can be coaxed back at any time, but something like a nine-tails backflip may not happen once in hundreds of years.

"What are you doing?" Kyuubi stopped his backflip and asked seriously.

"Look at your backflip." Naruto squatted on the ground and watched intently, "I can't wait to record it now, but it's a pity that I don't have a camera."

"Ha!" Kyuubi glanced at Naruto with disdain, "What do you know? What do you think I'm doing? I'm just paying tribute to you despicable humans like you!"

"Ah, that makes sense! It has to be you, Nine Lamas, whose theory stands in the atmosphere." Naruto nodded.

"What are you still doing?" Kyuubi glanced sideways at Naruto, "Let's practice together."

Hearing this, Naruto actually touched his chin and thought for a while. After a while, he stood up, left a silly sentence and returned to the living room.

There are some things at home today and tomorrow (the 30th and 31st), so I can only repay the debt by 6,000 per day, and I will start paying off the debt faster the day after tomorrow. (10,000 per day)
