Chapter 162 This Is the only Thing I Hope You Can Explain Clearly

"After Zuosuke ran away," Ino asked, "Your current state is to form teams and do missions everywhere, right?"

"That's right, but those tasks were forced on me by Tsunade-sama." Naruto sighed and said, "I would rather lie at home and do nothing."

"That kind of thing is impossible!"

"I tell you, please show some energy!" Ino raised her forehead and glanced at Naruto, "Shikamaru is already a chuunin, don't you want to become a chuunin?"

For these teenage boys and girls, the title of ninja is as attractive as testing. Although being recognized as a chuunin may not necessarily make you stronger, it is the only way to become a jounin.

Hmm. But he doesn't care.

"Why do you say this all of a sudden?" Naruto was a little surprised, "Shouldn't the Chuunin Exams or something be next summer?"

"How should I put it?" Ino turned her head away, "Tsunade-sama has completely trained you as one of her own, so at least you should cheer up."

"Her? Forget it." Naruto said without mercy, "I have almost seven days of vacation now, so I don't want to get close to that woman."

Tsunade has been sending out missions to everyone she meets recently, and in private Naruto gave Tsunade the nickname "Mission Girl". Unless necessary, he would never appear in Tsunade's sight.

The time to fish is limited, but the tasks are unlimited.

Kakashi, the candidate for the Sixth Generation, was completely numb, running around the Land of Snow and the Land of Wind doing tasks non-stop.

Occasionally, you need to go between various teams to save the situation and clean up the mess for the unreliable juniors. Konoha's old master is a master of tasks, and he can be called a model jounin in the early days of the Fifth Generation.

"Well, if you don't go on a mission, you should be taken to practice." Ino said suddenly.

"Huh?" Naruto looked confused, "What kind of training? Why don't I know?"

"Of course you don't know." Ino sighed, her cheeks puffed up slightly and she looked at Naruto and said, "I heard from father yesterday that Lord Jiraiya has returned to the village."

"What does that have to do with me?" Naruto looked indifferent, "It's impossible for me to practice anyway. The lustful immortal should also know."

"Why? Lord Jiraiya should be one of the Sannin, right?" Ino asked in confusion.

"Although I say that, they are completely different things." Naruto scratched his face and said, "Training with the lustful immortal is also very stressful."

"I don't want to become a big shot. It's good to just maintain the status quo."

"Your words sound a little irritating!" Ino said depressedly, lying on the counter.

"Why?"

"I have seen that your task completion rate is almost 100%. Even tasks with a difficulty level of A can be successfully completed. Although your reputation is not good, your strength has always improved very quickly."

"There is no need to talk about things like wind criticism." Naruto was a little embarrassed.

"So it's suddenly annoying to hear you say that you just want to maintain the status quo." Ino stared at Naruto's face and said, "I seem to have made almost no progress since the chunin exams."

After becoming genin, everyone gradually saw their shortcomings and deficiencies clearly during the half-year mission experience, and also saw their own path.

Zuosuke defected and embarked on the road of revenge.

Hinata firmly believed in becoming a qualified ninja and did not seek to surpass Neji, but just hoped not to be held back. Become a reliable companion in the squad.

Ningji hopes to break the shackles on his own strength and find the answer to freedom. Xiao Li is determined to burn his youth and keep moving towards the supreme level of physical skills.

Tiantian has become a qualified tool man, and his performance in physical skills is remarkable, but with the blessing of more than 100 million yuan in quality, he has become an essential companion for home travel.

But there are many lost people among them, and Sakura is probably lost.

Naruto had no goals at all. He spent three days fishing and two days drying nets, and had no idea at all about the position of Hokage. As long as he is not on a mission, he can stay in bed for several days.

Rather than saying that Naruto was lost, it was better to say that he had no intention of moving forward at all.

Just like dandelion seeds, where they fall is where they fall. If it falls into the sea, it will float forever. But this guy's strength has been increasing, which makes people confused.

"Ino, I have a way to improve your strength."

"any solution?"

"Special training." Naruto was no longer interested in eating. He put the plate away and put it back in the food box. He stared at Ino and said seriously, "I will help you with special training."

"You?" Ino's face looked a little complicated, "I feel very grateful to hear you say this, but I can't imagine that you can have any good special training methods."

"Don't underestimate people, damn it!"

"The bodies won't be stacked on top of each other, right?" Ino glanced at him and asked.

"Who do you think I am? I'm just making a suggestion." Naruto was completely speechless, "Do you remember the furniture store downstairs from my house?"

Hearing this, Ino raised his eyebrows.

She had just exchanged a bunch of irrelevant words with Naruto. In fact, she felt much more comfortable, and her anxiety about the future had also eased a lot.

Naruto knew this very well. When Ino said those words, he started to talk seriously.

The most important point in alleviating Ino's anxiety is not what to do in the future. But how to do it now to make her happy now.

As a genin who was much stronger than her, his subtle and outrageous suggestions would be more useful to Ino than long-winded speeches from a high position.

"That big furniture store?" Ino asked.

"Yes, it closed down. There is a lot of space there. I can buy it as a training ground." Naruto thought while stroking his chin.

"If you are free, we can train together."

"Idiot! I won't go!" Ino made a face and said slightly, "Do you think I'm a fool? You want to trick me into going to your place."

"I won't be fooled so easily!"

"Eh? You're going to make me sad if you say that." Naruto frowned, "I just hope Ino you become stronger, won't your worries disappear?"

Ino: "."

"For someone like you who secretly refrigerates bath water, your words are completely unconvincing! Hey!!"

"It was an accident that time. Just listen to my excuse." He reached out and held Ino's hand that was hanging on the counter. "No, listen to my explanation!"

Ino's body stiffened when he realized his hand was being held. His reaction was very cute, like a cat being immobilized, with a blush spreading from his cheeks to the root of his neck.

"Let go first!" she stammered.

"Do you still blush after being caught several times? Such a cute reaction." Naruto said it smoothly.

"Go to hell!! Pervert!" Ino pulled out his hand violently, held it up with the other hand, frowned and stared at the yellow-haired man and said, "Don't grab my hand suddenly!"

"Then next time, can I arrest you openly?"

"Absolutely! No!" Ino refused without hesitation, with a firm attitude, "Our relationship is not that good, please don't act like an idiot!"

Naruto was very satisfied with Ino's reaction. He rested his head on his hands and stared at Ino with a smile.

"Winter is coming soon, you"

There were a few Dongdong sounds, as if someone accidentally fell down upstairs, and with an exclamation, the noble Reino Yamanaka stumbled to steady herself at the corner of the stairs.

Madam Yamanaka looked slightly embarrassed when she met the eyes of the two people at the counter and realized that she had been discovered.

"This staircase is a bit old. I'll have to find someone to replace it later."

".Mother" Ino said with black lines on her head, "You weren't eavesdropping just now, were you?"

"Ahem, how could that happen?" Yamanaka Reino covered her mouth and chuckled, walking downstairs with graceful steps, "I just happened to go downstairs, who knew this staircase was really..."

Ino felt helpless looking at her mother, who usually lacked any elegance.

"Mother, it's wrong to eavesdrop."

"Xiao Ino, I didn't hear your conversation." Yamanaka Reino, wearing an elegant long dress, walked to the flower bed and started spraying water to take care of it.

Hearing this, Ino breathed a sigh of relief.

But the next second, Yamanaka Reino turned her back to the two of them and said something without looking back.

"If the bath water is refrigerated, it will still cause stomach upset."

Ino turned her head stiffly and looked at Naruto, her eyes widening. Naruto understood what she meant, quickly stood up with the food box, and said to Yamanaka Reino.

"Aunt, it's getting late, I'm going back first."

"Won't you stay a little longer?" Yamanaka Reino turned around and asked with a smile, "Little Ino."

"Mother!" Ino became anxious and directly interrupted Yamanaka Reino, "That... that!"

Ino blushed, pushed Naruto out of the store, turned around, closed the door, and said to Yamanaka Reino inside the door.

"Mother, let me drive that guy out first."

"Are you coming back in the evening?" Yamanaka Reino asked with a smile.

"I'm right at the door! Mother, don't say that." Ino had a headache and closed the store door with a click.

When she turned around, she found Naruto watching her not far away, showing no intention of leaving.

"My mother. Anyway, don't think too much about it." Ino was a little tired, seeing such a serious-looking mother who was unreliable at the critical moment.

However, the Huang Mao in front of him was not an honest person. Seeing him standing there with an innocent expression on his face, Ino couldn't hold back any longer. He took a few steps forward, grabbed Naruto's clothes, and dragged him to the side of a dark street corner.

"What's your expression?"

"I was just thinking about Ino-chan, hahaha!" Naruto laughed out loud.

"Don't laugh!" Ino grabbed Naruto's neck and threatened, "There is one more thing. Since it's like this now, I'll ask him directly!"

"What?"

"You can pretend to be stupid, although I don't really care about this kind of thing, but!" Ino lifted her hair from her forehead and looked at Naruto with her eyes.

"There is one thing I want you to make clear."

"Hinata and I, who do you have the best relationship with?"

"Huh?" He was stunned, with a hundred questions in his mind. Is this it?

Thousands of days!
