Chapter 98 Ino's Unspeakable Heartbeat

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps accompanied by humming was heard outside the door, and gradually became clearer.

The three men stood up, their bodies tense, staring at the door that was piled with debris to prevent the enemy from entering, ready to fight at any time.

But the footsteps did not stop, and they just passed by the room they were in and left.

Just when Haruko and the others were feeling confused and relieved in the morning, the door was suddenly blown open, and the enemy's perverted laughter was heard amid the dust.

"I found you——"

As soon as he appeared, Haruko activated her eye technique to create an illusion, but Sakon discovered that it was her and quickly turned around and slid, causing the gravel and dust on the ground to fly towards her.

Covered by the dust, Haruko Asako subconsciously closed her eyes, and Sakon dodged and rushed towards Yamanaka Ino and Haruno Sakura on both sides of her.

Seeing them being knocked against the wall by just a few punches, Haruko Asahi took out a kunai and ran over, but was dodged by Sakon.

Sakon made a "tsk" sound and said unhappily, "If Orochimaru hadn't forbidden me from attacking you, I would have peeled off your bones and used them to make music."

"Then thank you so much!"

Haruko Asahi quickly stood in front of the two of them.

The situation began to become subtle at this time. Compared to the nervousness of Haruko and the others in the morning, Sakon seemed to be thinking about where to start.

Bang-!

A huge noise suddenly erupted in the base, like an earthquake. More rocks fell down and several candles were forced to go out. They hurriedly dodged.

"Which idiot is sabotaging this?!"

Sakon frowned. The confidential documents had not been destroyed yet, but seeing that the base was now in a shaky state, Sakon didn't have time to care about the three of them. After all, it would be difficult to do anything with Haruko Zaoma around. Sakon left the room directly to look for the documents.

Seeing him disappear, Haruko and the others did not relax. They didn't know when the base might collapse, so they had to leave quickly.

When Zuo Jin found them, they had already recorded most of the research documents. Although it was a pity that there were only a few left, they had no time to continue searching.

"Ino, are you okay?"

In the morning, Haruko carefully helped up Yamanaka Ino, whose legs were covered in blood. When Sakon threw her against the wall, she happened to bump into the research equipment on the cabinet, and the glass shattered and fell, piercing her thigh when she fell.

"It's okay...hiss!" Yamanaka Ino took a tentative step, and her body froze in pain.

Haruno Sakura looked around and said, "We have to hurry! We may not be able to hold out here for much longer!"

Yamanaka Ino gritted her teeth. She absolutely did not want to be a burden to the team, but even though she tensed her body and moved forward two steps, she almost fell down again. It was Haruko Hayama who was beside her who held her back.

"Haruko, you guys go first... Haruko?!"

Yamanaka Ino screamed, and her whole body flew into the air and was easily held in Haruko Hayama's arms.

"Ino hold me!"

Haruko didn't give her a chance to hesitate. With a serious expression, she picked her up and ran out with Haruno Sakura.

Yamanaka Ino subconsciously did what she said, and after his hands were around her neck, Yamanaka Ino belatedly realized that she was embarrassed.

But looking at Haruko's serious look as she hurried along the road and looked straight ahead in the morning, Yamanaka Ino did not say anything else.

Yamanaka Ino carefully traced the outline of Hayami Haruko with her eyes. Hayami Haruko was undoubtedly beautiful, with thin eyebrows, curved lips, bright eyes and white teeth. When she looked at someone seriously, that person would feel that she owned the whole world.

For example, now, noticing her gaze, Haruko Zaoma lowered her head and gave her a comforting smile.

There was the sound of rapid running in her ears, but Yamanaka Ino could clearly hear her own heartbeat which was gradually speeding up.

What happened to her...

Yamanaka Ino's face flushed and she lowered her head, not daring to look at her again, but she noticed the necklace around Haruko's neck.

When did Haruko start wearing this necklace?

With casual doubts in her heart, Yamanaka Ino found a way to explain her palpitations. She pursed her lips slightly and said, "Haru... Haruko, what is this necklace?"

"Hmm?" Haruko Zao looked at her, but found that her face was unusually red and her eyes were blinking and she didn't look at her.

Could it be that Ino has a fever due to infection? !

Haruko silently quickened her pace in the morning, and did not forget to answer her: "This is a gift from Master Tsunade. Does Ino like the necklace?"

"I don't really like it." Afraid that she would think that she wanted her necklace, Yamanaka Ino quickly changed the subject.

But Haruko smiled and said, "Then I'll give Ino a bracelet next time!"

Yamanaka Ino opened her eyes slightly and couldn't help but turn her gaze to her again. It was such a critical moment, but she had promised their future because of her words.

The arm around Haruko Asagi's neck tightened slightly, and Yamanaka Ino tentatively leaned her head completely on her shoulder.

Haruko felt her movements in the morning and hugged her even tighter.

Thump—thump—

Yamanaka Ino whispered in her heart: It’s so noisy, my heart is beating...

Before, Sakon had caused minor damage to the base, but unexpectedly, Choji Akimichi used the technique of multiplication to transform himself into a human bomb tank, and was sneaked by the enemy to the vicinity of the base. Because he could not stop, he crashed directly into the base, causing complete destruction of the base.

When Haruko and her friends managed to escape in the morning, they were faced with a stalemate.

"Haruko! Is the...Ino you're holding hurt?"

Nara Shikamaru was relieved to see them come out, but he didn't expect that Yamanaka Ino was injured.

At this morning, the people between Haruko and the other two and Shikamaru's team were the Sound Four. The three parties did not take any action and just looked at each other.

Jirobo, who was a little embarrassed, reminded quietly: "That person is here, don't hurt him."

Tayuya's face was grim, "They should all be sent to death!"

Sakon held her back as she was on the verge of a frenzy. Their mission was to destroy confidential documents, and now that the mission was completed there was no need to stay any longer, especially since Haruko was there in the morning.

Then Sakon signaled to the other two and disappeared from the spot with Tayuya.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw them leave.

Uzumaki Naruto released the Nine-Tails status, ran to the front of Morning Haruko, and asked nervously: "Haruko, you are not hurt?"

Yamanaka Ino in his arms was very upset, "Hey, can't you see that I'm the one who's hurt?!"

Uzumaki Naruto looked away guiltily, and Nara Shikamaru came over to check her injuries, "No broken bones, right?"

"Probably not, it's just that the base was about to collapse and we didn't have time to bandage the wound, so we hurried out." Sakura Haruno explained.

Nara Shikamaru glanced at Yamanaka Ino whose face was slightly red, and then looked at Hayama Haruko who was completely unaware of herself.

No way……

"Choji, you come and hold Ino." Nara Shikamaru used the privileges of the team leader seriously.

"Ah--why?" Akimichi Choji walked forward reluctantly.

Yamanaka Ino's face turned even redder, this time out of anger.

"What do you mean?! I don't want to be hugged by ugly boys like you!"

While Haruko was performing healing magic on her in the morning, Nara Shikamaru squatted down with dead eyes and tried to reason with her.

"Haruko is also a girl, I can't hold you for so long, we have to hurry back to the village to deliver the mission."

Yamanaka Ino knew what he meant, but she just didn't want to be hugged by anyone other than Haruko...

Feeling unhappy, Yamanaka Ino looked at Hayama Haruko who was working hard beside her.

Haruko Asagi had stopped the healing technique without noticing anything, and was still proud of herself for having become even more powerful.

Suddenly, a hand appeared in Haruko's sight. Yamanaka Ino came to her senses and looked in the direction of the hand. Her expression completely interpreted the speechless Nara Shikamaru.

"Do you know whether you know or not? This is so troublesome." Nara Shikamaru muttered.

Hearing his troublesome tone, Yamanaka Ino immediately lost all her thoughts and replied bluntly: "I know, Captain Shikamaru!"

"..." Nara Shikamaru's mouth twitched.

It turns out that women are the most troublesome, especially jealous women.
