People are in Konoha, this Naruto is lying flat

I'm sorry, please forgive me. Ino said with some guilt.

You don't need to apologize for that kind of thing. Naruto took the white chrysanthemum, and when he was about to pay, he suddenly saw a red flower.

Maybe I felt that one flower was too few, so I took one out of habit, so I pointed to the red flower and said.

Ino, can you wrap that flower up for me too?

Eh? That... okay. Ino turned around to pick up the flowers, wrapped them neatly, It's 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 Hua?

It's for you. Naruto passed the flower forward again, and Ino reached out to take it.

Why did you send flowers all of a sudden? Ino was a little confused, she didn't expect Naruto to buy flowers for her, although there is no shortage of flowers at home, but...

There's no reason, I just remembered it suddenly, thank you Ino for taking care of me, it's normal. Naruto put the white chrysanthemum away, stared at Ino and said.

Although it makes sense for you to say that, it still feels weird. Ino looked away and said with a dry smile, I always feel like an adult, sending flowers to each other.

Don't say such strange things, if you don't want to, then I won't give it away. Naruto wanted to reach out to take it.

No, there's no reason to take back the gift I gave. 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 took advantage of the situation and said goodbye and left.

the next day.

Anbu found the body of Moonlight Gale on a roof, the body was cut by a sharp knife, and the neck was fatally wounded.

At the same time, the third Chunin Exam jointly organized by the Nation of Wind and the Nation of Fire also kicked off. Different from the first two rounds, the third round will be held in an arena that can accommodate ten thousand people, and both noble masters and young ladies of the Fire Nation will appear.

For this group of aristocrats who have no worries about food and clothing, 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 and tax incentives given by the Fire Nation alone are enough for their daily squandering. Naruto used to be envious of these rich people, and now he is still envious.

Although those people don't have as much money as him now, they will enjoy it.

Unlike Naruto who has money and can't spend it, he can't spend it all. Buying expensive home appliances, eating barbecue, and taking baths everywhere is already the limit of consumption. This body is still too small to do money-burning things.

The venue was very lively inside and outside, and the atmosphere of the formal exam was as grand as a festival. Pedestrians on the street are bustling with each other. Vendors are trying their best to sell their products. Drinks and red bean balls are the best sellers.

Naruto was walking on the street, carrying a bag of food towards the practice field.

Perhaps because of the official exam, there was no one in the practice field, and they probably all went to the large arena. After all, on such a grand day, who would go to a remote practice field to train?

Naruto wasn't there for training either, he wasn't trained at all.

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

Naruto-kun...how did you come here?

Suddenly, Hinata's figure appeared timidly from the wooden stakes in the practice field, and she asked carefully while squeezing her hands.

At this time, Hinata was wearing a light blue long-sleeved retro gown on her upper body, and a pair of black cropped straight-leg pants on her lower body, which made her dignified and beautiful.

Send food. Naruto lifted the kraft paper bag on the handle and said, Didn't we make an appointment to eat 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 that 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 after working so hard.

I haven't changed anything. Hinata said in a depressed mood, The last time I faced Neji-gege, it was Naruto who helped me to last a few rounds. I think if it was me, I might not be able to last a few rounds. .”

You can't say that. Naruto took out a string of meatballs from the bag and took a bite to comfort him, Hinata, you know that you can't beat it, but you still persist. This is brave enough.

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

Thank you, Naruto-kun. Hinata raised her head and smiled again, I see, I will work hard.

Then do you eat?

Um.

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

This is red bean balls, and that is deep-fried tempura, cake. Naruto rummaged through it, and handed it to Hinata, You know how to eat this?

Ah, I can eat.

What about this? This one seems to taste good, although I haven't eaten it much, but the boss said it is very popular with girls. Naruto took out a lot of snacks, it seems that they are really here to give Hinata food of.

Mr. Naruto.

Huh? Naruto looked up at Hinata.

Thank you.

good.

Hinata was stunned, no one would say hello. Shouldn't it be okay to say thank you normally? Naruto's words are good, and Hinata can't fix it directly, and his face turns red instantly.

What’s wrong with you?

I was thinking... Naruto-kun, why are you so nice to me? Hinata looked down and said, People like me are hard to please. Also cowardly.

You have done a great job. I don't know why you have low self-esteem, Hinata, but I think you are very gentle with people. Your companions must like you very much, so don't worry about this kind of thing.

Hearing this, Hinata raised her eyes and took a sneak peek at him, that gesture was as cute as a kitten. Then he lowered his head extremely quickly, showing an embarrassing expression, pursing his lips lightly, showing a faint smile.

Naruto's surprising frankness made Hinata show a smile that is extremely difficult to show in front of outsiders. Even though Naruto has not yet developed the feelings for the opposite sex for Hinata at the moment, his heartbeat still inevitably speeds up.

Naruto-kun, I...I'm very happy. Hinata stammered with a soft smile on her face, It's 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 Chunin exam is about to start, why don't you go?

Sorry... Naruto-kun, I have an appointment with Kiba and the others. Hinata's face was full of guilt.

It's okay, then I'll go first. Naruto bid farewell to Hinata, Goodbye Hinata, cheer up!

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

Goodbye... Naruto-kun.
