Chapter 58
Bang!
"You mean I'll be a drag!"
Sure enough, just before Kakashi left, Sakura's friendship punch hit Naruto's stomach hard.
"Ah! No no no! No!"
Naruto was directly hit by a punch and fell to the tree trunk beside the bridge, begging for mercy.
This is because Naruto has the master-level Konoha steel fist. If someone else came, Sakura would have to beat him to vomit blood.
"Oh, by the way, isn't today the Spring Festival?"
Naruto decisively used the method of diverting attention.
"Sasuke, let's relax today and go shopping together."
"Yeah, that's right, Sasuke, you have been leaving after completing the task recently. We haven't been shopping together for a long time."
Sakura quickly changed her tone and said to Sasuke in a somewhat shy manner.
"Instead of wasting time, it's better to use this time to practice ninjutsu."
Sasuke looked cold and didn't buy it.
"Ahem...Naruto."
"Sasuke, Grandpa Hokage said that haste makes waste. Only by combining work and rest can we make faster progress."
Naruto heard Sakura's intention and quickly responded with a look that said "leave it to me".
"Relax your tense nerves appropriately. Even a spring will break if it is stretched all the time, let alone a person?"
"Speaking of which, Sasuke, you also went to the Spring Festival with your mother when you were a child, right?"
"I think your mother definitely doesn't want to see you practicing all day long. It's good to put down your burden occasionally and recall the good old days!"
"..."
As soon as Naruto finished speaking, Sasuke and Sakura were silent.
Sasuke was lost in memories.
Sakura was secretly angry at Naruto. Why did he talk about such a sensitive topic during a good festival?
Just as she was about to go over and teach Naruto a lesson, she saw Naruto come over with a smile and hug her and Sasuke's shoulders, and walked towards the bustling street market without saying anything.
"Instead of wasting time here, why not take action directly!"
Naruto grinned triumphantly.
"I just want to tell you that those famous quotes you said did not come from the Hokage!"
Sasuke rolled his eyes speechlessly.
He didn't understand why these people didn't know the source of the famous quotes and attributed them to the Kage of their own village without thinking?
"Hahaha, don't pay attention to the details."
Naruto scratched his head indifferently, he felt that Sasuke's focus was a bit strange.
However, the next step depends on Sakura's own performance.
As a qualified loser, it's time to leave now.
"Hey, it seems to be Sister Ayame over there, I'll go over and say hello, you guys go shopping first, I'll come to you later."
Naruto smiled and winked at Sakura, then paused and walked towards Ayame, the daughter of Ichiraku boss in the distance.
"Sasuke, I think the snacks over there look delicious. Let's go over there!"
Sakura took Sasuke's hand unnoticeably, and turned back to give Naruto a thumbs up.
...
"Hey~ I'm alone again."
Naruto sighed as he looked at the backs of Sakura and the other girl. He didn't go to look for Ayame. After all, there were other girls around Ayame, and he didn't know them well, so there was no need to go over and get in the way.
"Naruto, Naruto."
Just as Naruto was mourning the defeat of his life, a subtle voice came from behind him.
Naruto looked back... emmm, it seemed that there was no one he knew.
He scratched his head and looked around in confusion, and then when he looked down inadvertently, he saw the person who called his name.
"Hey, long time no see, Hinata-san, sorry, I didn't mean it."
Naruto put his hands together and apologized to Hinata very embarrassedly. After all, his behavior just now was very rude to the Hyuga clan.
"No, it's okay."
Hinata bit her lip and lowered her head, not daring to look at Naruto.
"Naruto has grown a lot taller."
"Ahaha, yes, I'm 1.6 meters tall now."
Naruto grinned.
He was originally a little shorter than Hinata, but after he upgraded the Konoha Steel Fist to the Grandmaster level, his height soared to 1.6 meters. At the age of 12, he was already taller than many adult female ninjas.
The few people in Team 7 may not have much feeling because they have been together day and night, but for former classmates, Naruto's height has risen as fast as a skyrocketing monkey.
"Yeah, yeah."
Hinata nodded shyly.
Then.
Huh~
A gust of spring breeze blew, and the two people, one tall and one short, stood in silence on the busy street.
'There is no topic at all! '
'Also, why does this girl named Hinata always look at me straight in the eye? Although I am ugly, IIt's not that ugly to the point of being scary, right? ’
Naruto was a little mad, but he couldn't say goodbye first, after all, it was someone who called him.
"That..."
"That."
"You, you go first."
"Haha, I'll go first then."
Naruto shrugged and asked.
"Hinata-san, is there something you want to talk to me about?"
"Well, you said I could talk to you."
Hinata hesitated for a long time before she finished her words with a red face.
"Hehe, what can you say to someone like me."
Naruto smiled and shook his head.
"When I was in the Ninja School, I was hated by almost everyone."
"I, I don't hate Naruto!"
Hinata said loudly and uncharacteristically when she heard what Naruto said. After saying that, she didn't know what she thought of, and her face immediately turned red and hot.
"Well~ Then I'll fulfill the promise we made last time and talk to you. Hinata-san is having this problem because she has a low sense of presence, right?" Naruto said as he walked forward, and Hinata followed him closely. "Speaking of which, I have a lot of experience in attracting attention, but those methods are not very suitable for girls." "Yeah." Hinata has been paying attention to Naruto for a long time, so she blushed when she heard the 'method' Naruto mentioned. Naruto is good at everything, but sometimes he is a little too 'H'. "You speak too softly, let's go to a quiet place." Naruto scratched his head helplessly. "Let's go to Kasumiya Bookstore. I'll show you the novel I wrote." "Naruto, do you write a novel?" Hinata asked curiously, and she also said 'is it serious?' in her heart. "Well, you'll know when the time comes. I'll sign it for you. When I become famous, it will be very valuable when you sell it!"
Hehe, hahahahaha
Naruto imagined that he would become the greatest writer in the ninja world in the future, and a signed book would be sold at a sky-high price like an antique. He laughed arrogantly.
"...I will keep it well."
Naruto wants to give me a book worth collecting. How can I bear to sell it!
Hinata nodded secretly in her heart and said she would never sell it no matter what!
"I'm telling you, you will definitely like this book after reading it."
Naruto didn't know Hinata's thoughts, but just kept bragging about how good his book was.
"I will read it carefully."
Hinata said in a low voice.
"Hehe, the book I wrote is definitely a hundred times better than "Intimate Paradise" by that rubbish author Ero called Jiraiya!"
Naruto raised his head proudly and belittled the most popular author at the moment.
He learned the look of disdain from otherworldly scholars without any instruction.
"I will definitely not let you down!"
"Hmm..."
