Chapter 67: I Knew Naruto-kun Wasn't That Kind of Person!
"Alright, since you already know what to do next, no time to waste—get back to training hard."
Naruto said with a smile.
Konohamaru's restless little hands tugged at the hem of his skirt. He looked at Naruto's handsome face, hesitating to speak.
In the end he could only nod, letting out a soft, nasal "mm~".
Then he left—turning back every few steps.
The sight was full of reluctance.
It made Naruto want to pack his things that very night, buy a midnight ticket, and flee Konoha!
Fortunately, Konohamaru finally left.
Anyway, the leather ball training was way harder than the water balloon stage.
If Konohamaru really wanted to master it,
Naruto estimated at least half a year—no shortcuts.
At least half a year.
That was safe for him.
As for whether he'd still be in the village half a year later… who knew.
Maybe by then he'd leave first.
Head to Kirigakure and flirt with Mei Terumī for a bit.
With Mei's beauty, she'd easily rank in the top ten of the Naruto world's hottest women.
That seductive, soul-capturing fox face.
Tall, curvaceous figure—everything perfectly proportioned.
Especially when wearing fishnet stockings… simply too tempting!
Naruto remembered—in his previous life he spent a fortune in the Naruto mobile game to buy Mei's white swimsuit skin!
He never got to enjoy his paper-wife properly
before transmigrating.
Only one word could describe it:
Absolute!
Good thing he came straight to the real Naruto world.
What's the point of putting a fake wife in a swimsuit?
He wanted the real Mei—soft, warm, and alive.
Way more interesting than any game.
"Naruto-kun—who was that pretty girl just now?"
Just as Naruto's thoughts were drifting,
a female voice rang out.
Naruto snapped back and looked over.
The girl wore a purple off-shoulder short-sleeve top and matching purple shorts.
Her fair navel was exposed.
Slim waist.
Single high ponytail, side bangs covering half her face.
Giving off a mysterious, half-hidden beauty.
The girl's "big pandas" were already taking shape.
She was destined for greatness in the future!
Naruto smiled when he saw her.
"He's just a friend of mine. Ino—you guys are back from your mission?"
Seeing Naruto take the initiative to ask her a question,
Yamanaka Ino was delighted. A sweet smile bloomed on her face.
"Yeah~ Naruto-kun, you know so much!"
"Have you been secretly keeping tabs on me?"
...
Which team leader doesn't do this?
Take students outside the village for missions, let them see the world.
Then return to the village.
Basic common sense, right?
Saying yes would be way too fake.
With Naruto's current abilities, what kind of beauty couldn't he get?
If he really wanted to pursue someone,
it would happen fast.
Saying no would make Ino sad.
But whether she was sad or not…
didn't really concern him.
Just as Naruto shook his head, about to say no,
suddenly Ino took three quick steps and pounced toward him.
She pressed tightly against his back.
Very intimate.
Anyone who didn't know better would think they were a couple.
What the…?
Naruto blinked. This was insane.
Was his charm really that strong?
Just standing here,
doing nothing,
and girls were throwing themselves at him?
Naruto was completely confused. Just as he was about to ask,
another figure appeared.
Seeing this person,
Naruto instantly understood why Ino had done that.
"What are you two doing?!"
It was none other than Haruno Sakura.
Sakura had been wandering the streets, clearing her mind.
She never expected to run into Naruto here.
Perhaps this was heaven's favor toward a beautiful girl like her.
Girls who smile a lot tend to have good luck.
So she prepared to walk over and say hi.
But then her eyes met Ino's.
Their gazes locked.
In the next instant, she saw Ino throw herself onto Naruto.
Sakura was furious!
She couldn't understand—when did this best friend of hers latch onto Naruto?
Sakura and Ino usually couldn't stand each other.
But they could still talk.
Weren't you obsessed with Sasuke before?
How did you switch so fast?
Women really change quick!
Stealing someone else's guy is one thing—but stealing Naruto-kun? You think I'll allow that?
Get your dirty hands off him, you wench!
Ino—still clinging to Naruto's back—smiled brightly at Sakura.
"What else? Just greeting Naruto-kun like normal~"
This is normal?!
You never even glanced at Naruto before!
Ino, I see you've become completely shameless!
You've mastered lying with a straight face.
Is there anything you won't do?
Get down and talk properly!
Sakura held back her exploding inner universe, her mouth twitching.
"Ino—you should get down. Naruto-kun doesn't seem to like girls touching him casually."
Sakura felt her words were flawless!
A cute girl like me—
Naruto-kun can ignore me, even show a hint of dislike.
You? Even less possible!
I'm kindly reminding you—be smart and get off quickly.
Otherwise if Naruto-kun gets upset,
one shoulder throw and you're flying.
You'll regret it.
Sakura already felt she could foresee the future.
Ino blinked her cute eyes, tilted her little head, full of surprise, and looked at Naruto.
"Naruto-kun—is that true?"
If Naruto said yes,
she'd get down immediately.
She didn't want to upset him.
Even though staying like this felt pretty good.
Especially seeing Sakura's unwilling, envious expression.
Ino's heart couldn't help but feel delighted.
Moreover—mainly because of the strong masculine aura radiating from Naruto.
It deeply attracted her.
It felt like no matter what unimaginable disaster happened,
as long as she stayed by Naruto's side,
she could stay safe and escape unharmed.
Simply put—being next to Naruto
made her feel incredibly secure!
A feeling she had never experienced before.
Naruto shook his head, answering cleanly and directly:
"No."
What the…?
Doesn't like girls touching him casually?
Well yeah—that's true for me.
But if it's someone I'm interested in, or someone I like,
Naruto wouldn't mind.
Besides—Ino hasn't fully grown yet.
She's already a little beauty in the making.
By the time she's sixteen or seventeen,
she'll be a graceful young lady.
This could work.
Hearing this,
Ino's smile grew even brighter. Her jade hands wrapped around Naruto's neck, voice full of joy.
"Hahaha~ I knew Naruto-kun wasn't that kind of person."
Sakura was completely stunned.
Her eyelids twitched like crazy.
You weren't like this with me?!
Naruto-kun, you're too much!
Differential treatment!
What part of me isn't as good as Ino?
I'll fix it—okay?!
