People are in Konoha, this Naruto lies flat

"I'm sorry, please have my condolences." Ino said a little guiltily.

"There's no need to apologize for that kind of thing." Naruto took the white chrysanthemum and was about to pay when he suddenly saw a red flower.

Maybe he felt that there were too few flowers, so he habitually put one on top, so he pointed to the red flower and said.

"Ino, can you help me wrap that flower too?"

"Eh? Well...Okay." Ino turned around to take the flowers and wrapped them up quickly, "Fifty taels in total."

"Are you going to give it to Sakura? She seems to be practicing in the medical class recently."

Naruto paid, took the flowers and handed the wrapped rose to Ino.

"Ah?" Ino was stunned for a moment, "Is there something wrong with the flower?"

"It's for you." Naruto handed the flower forward one more section, and Ino reached out to take it.

"Why did you suddenly send flowers?" Ino was a little confused. She didn't expect that Naruto would buy flowers for her. Although there was no shortage of flowers at home...

"No reason, I just suddenly remembered. Thank you Ino for taking care of me. It's normal." Naruto put the white chrysanthemum away and stared at Ino and said.

"Although it makes sense to say so, it still feels weird." Ino looked away and laughed dryly and said, "It always feels like adults, giving each other flowers or something."

"Don't say such weird things. If you don't want to, I won't give it away." Naruto reached out to take it.

"No, there's no reason to take back the gift you gave out. Besides...I didn't say I didn't want to." Ino firmly protected the wrapped rose.

Naruto was just pretending and didn't want to really grab it, so he said goodbye and left.

The next day.

Anbu found Moonlight Hayate's body on a roof. The body was cut with a sharp blade and there were fatal wounds on the neck.

At the same time, the third round of the Chunin Examination jointly organized by the Kingdom of Wind and the Kingdom of Fire also began. Different from the first two, the third round will be held in an arena that can accommodate ten thousand people. The nobles of the Kingdom of Fire

Both the master and the lady will come forward.

For this group of well-fed aristocrats, watching ninja fights is as elegant as having a silver party at home.

The nobles occupy a large amount of land and production tools, and the annual rent collected and the tax incentives provided by the Fire Nation are enough for them to spend their daily squandering. Naruto used to envy these rich people, and he still does now.

Although those people are not as rich as him now, they will enjoy it.

It's not like Naruto who has money and can't spend it all. Buying expensive home appliances, eating barbecue, and taking baths everywhere are already the limit of consumption. This body is still too small, and it can't do things that cost money.

There was great excitement inside and outside the venue, and the atmosphere of the formal examination was as grand as a festival. The streets were bustling with pedestrians, and the vendors were working hard to sell their products, with wine and red bean balls being the best sellers.

Naruto walked on the street, carrying a bag of food and heading towards the training ground.

Perhaps it was due to the official exam, but there was no one in the training ground. They were probably heading to the large arena. After all, on such a grand day, who would go to a remote training ground to train?

Naruto wasn't here for training, he had never trained at all.

It was still early, and the forest was extremely quiet in the early morning. Naruto stood at the training ground, looking around as if he was looking for something.

"Naruto-kun...why are you here?"

Suddenly, Hinata's figure timidly emerged from the wooden stake in the training ground, holding her hands and asking carefully.

At this time, Hinata was wearing a light blue long-sleeved retro coat on the upper body and a black three-quarter straight trousers on the lower body, which made her whole person dignified and beautiful.

"Sending food." Naruto said as he picked up the brown oil paper bag on his hand, "Didn't we make an appointment to have barbecue last time? I haven't met you yet."

"I'm sorry, I've been training so..." Hinata lowered her head. She didn't want to say that her father had completely ignored her, so she kept gritting her teeth and training just to prove herself.

"It doesn't matter." Naruto approached, handed the paper bag to Hinata and said, "Hinata will definitely become stronger if she works hard."

"I haven't changed anything." Hinata said in a low mood, "The last time I faced Brother Ningci, it was Naruto who helped me to survive several rounds. I think if it were me, I might not be able to survive even one round.

.”

"You can't say that." Naruto took out a bunch of meatballs from the bag and took a bite to comfort him, "Hinata, you persist even though you know you can't beat me. That's brave enough."

"Becoming stronger doesn't happen overnight, you still have to have some confidence in yourself."

"Thank you, Naruto-kun." Hinata looked up and smiled again, "I know, I will try my best."

"Then will you eat?"

"Um."

Hinata was a little uncomfortable with Naruto's candid gaze, and she was immediately at a loss.

"This is red bean balls, and that is fried tempura and cake." Naruto rummaged through them and handed them to Hinata, "Can you eat these?"

"Ah, I know how to eat."

"What about this? This one seems to taste good, although I haven't eaten it often, but the boss said it is very popular with girls." Naruto took out a lot of snacks, and it seemed that they were specially given to Hinata.

of.

"Naruto-kun."

"Huh?" Naruto raised his head and looked at Hinata.

"Thank you."

"good."

Hinata was stunned, no one would respond with a nice word. Shouldn't it be normal to say thank you in front of someone? Naruto's nice words immediately made Hinata uncomfortable, and his face instantly turned red.

"What’s wrong with you?"

"I'm thinking...Naruto-kun, why are you so nice to me?" Hinata lowered her head and looked away and said, "It's hard to please people like me. I fail at everything I do. I have such a bad temper.

Also very cowardly.”

"You've done a great job. I don't know why you feel inferior Hinata, but I think Hinata you are actually very gentle to people. Your companions must like you very much, so you don't have to worry about such things.

"

Hearing this, Hinata raised her eyes and glanced at him secretly. Her movements were as cute as a kitten. Then she quickly lowered her head, showing an embarrassed expression, and pursed her lips lightly, revealing a shallow smile.

Naruto's surprising frankness made Hinata reveal a smile that was extremely difficult to show in front of outsiders. Even if Naruto didn't have the opposite-sex feelings for Hinata at the moment, his heartbeat would inevitably speed up.

"Naruto-kun, I...I'm very happy." Hinata stuttered with a soft smile on her face, "This is the first time someone praised me like that, so..."

"You can hear it often in the future, so it doesn't matter." Naruto said, "The Chuunin exams are about to start, won't you go?"

"Sorry...Naruto-kun, I made an appointment with Kiba and the others to go there together." Hinata's face was full of guilt.

"It's okay, I'll go over first." Naruto said goodbye to Hinata, "Goodbye Hinata, cheer up!"

"Yeah." A shy look appeared on Hinata's face.

"Goodbye...Naruto-kun."
