Chapter 180 Lost Sakura and Confused Hinata

"Sakura!"

Sakura was at home and heard shouts outside.

This voice is... Ino? What are you doing with her at this time?

Sakura opened the door with confusion and saw Ino looking at her with a smile.

Sakura asked while inviting Ino in.

"Ino, what's wrong?"

"Of course, there are two great things. Originally there was only one, but I heard another thing on the way here!" Ino said with a smile.

"Huh? What a good thing." Sakura couldn't help but show an expectant expression when she heard this.

"The first thing is that Tsunade-sama might accept us as her disciples!"

"Huh? Really?!" Sakura's eyes widened immediately. Tsunade is the fifth generation Hokage, will she really accept them as her disciples?

"Of course, I heard Xia Li tell me this personally."

Ino slowly told Sakura what Xia Li had said, and did not conceal Xia Li's role in it.

"Really, then I really need to thank Xia Li properly." Sakura couldn't help but say.

She didn't know what she was thinking at this moment, and her expression was a bit off. Then she looked at Ino, who was smiling brightly, and she couldn't help but feel a little envious in her heart.

The other party has already confirmed the relationship, and the partner is so good. On the other hand, she still has no hope, and even...

"So, what's the second best thing?"

Ino didn't notice that Sakura's smile was a little forced and continued.

"I heard on the way here that Shikamaru from our class and Sasuke from your class both successfully passed the daimyo selection and became chuunin!" Ino continued with a smile.

"Now, I must keep Choji in perfect condition when he goes to the BBQ restaurant, and I must make that guy Shikamaru vomit blood!"

Needless to say, there will definitely be celebrations when Shikamaru becomes a chuunin. Although there is no announcement yet, based on Ino's understanding of Asuma, such a thing will never be missed.

"Sasuke...has he become a chuunin?" Sakura also expressed surprise.

"Well, it's basically confirmed." Ino looked at Sakura. She originally wanted to ask Sakura how the relationship between her and Sasuke was going, but when she saw that the other person didn't seem too happy, she couldn't help but change that sentence. The words were swallowed back.

"That's right, that's great." Sakura also smiled, but this smile was a bit fake in Ino's eyes.

"Sakura, what's wrong with you? Is that guy Sasuke bullying you? Tell me and I'll teach him a lesson. If I can't do it, I'll go find Xia Li."

Ino couldn't help but feel a little worried when she saw her friend looking like this, and said directly.

"No, no." Sakura said hurriedly. If she really did this, everything would be over. At this time, Sakura also told the reason.

It turns out that she hasn't seen Sasuke or Kakashi-sensei recently. She heard that they all went on missions. Even Naruto, who is often around her, can't see her recently...

This made Sakura feel very deserted, and she also felt that she seemed to be getting farther and farther away from Sasuke.

So Sakura is very envious of Ino now. She found someone who she likes and who also likes her a long time ago.

Moreover, he is so powerful and handsome, making him the most ideal candidate.

Ino listened to Sakura's words and didn't know what to say for a moment. After all, in her opinion, Sasuke didn't bully Sakura.

Doing tasks is the bounden duty of every ninja, and the most important thing is that the relationship between Sakura and Sasuke seems to have not been established yet, and it is difficult for her as an outsider to interfere.

"Sorry for letting you hear so many bad things." Sakura suddenly realized something and couldn't help but apologize.

"It's okay, aren't we friends? But I can't help you with these things..." Ino said.

"Well, I know. Thank you very much for your news. I will work hard to become Tsunade-sama's disciple!" Sakura said seriously.

"Okay, I'll leave first. I have to go to Hinata to inform her."

After Sakura said goodbye to Ino, she sighed as she looked at the gifts that she had been preparing for a long time but couldn't find because Sasuke couldn't give them away.

Then Sakura's face also showed a determined look. Since Sasuke and Naruto are working hard to become stronger, it's time for her to calm down.

Moreover, now is the best time to become stronger. If she becomes Tsunade-sama's disciple, thinking back to Xia Li at that time, she will probably be able to help them, right?

Maybe, at that time, I could have a more in-depth communication with Sasuke.

Therefore, we can no longer stand still!

…………

After Ino came out of Sakura's house, she was also a little worried about Sakura's condition.

In terms of relationships, she can only be a listener at most, and can't help Sakura much. After all, her experience is really not suitable for Sakura.

At this time, Ino thought about her experience with Xia Li, and then thought about Xia Li's character, and couldn't help but feel a little lucky.

Fortunately, she and him have been connected for family reasons since childhood. Otherwise, based on Ino's understanding of Xia Li, it would probably not be easier for her to pursue Xia Li than it would be for Sakura to pursue Sasuke.

Although Xia Li seems to be gentle to everyone, she will also find ways to help them.

However, it is precisely this kind of good but not deep relationship that is the most difficult to establish a deeper connection.

Ino recalled Xia Li's attitude towards most girls, that kind of polite but very distant look. If they hadn't established a relationship since childhood, then she would definitely be one of them!

Fortunately, there is no if, so she doesn't have this trouble.

However, Ino was also a little worried at this time. She originally had one more thing to do, but seeing Sakura like this, she didn't want to mention it, so she would wait until Sakura regained her energy.

With this thought in mind, Ino also arrived at a somewhat orderly mansion and explained his purpose to the Hyuga family guarding the gate.

Then, while waiting, Ino looked at the Hinata family's mansion and sighed. It was really big and seemed to be very hierarchical. Living there would be a bit depressing.

After waiting for a while, Ino saw Hinata and walked out from the door. When he saw her, his face was a little surprised and a little surprised.

"Ino, why are you here?" Hinata's unique soft voice, but she didn't face Naruto, and her words were still continuous without stumbling.

"Of course, I have something good to tell you, so that you can prepare in advance." Ino said and immediately prepared to tell Ino about Tsunade's acceptance of a disciple.

"Well, it's not a good place to talk here. Let's talk after we come in." Hinata said weakly.

"Huh? No, just one thing. I'll leave after I finish talking here." Ino didn't really want to enter such a mansion, and was a bit restrained.

"Well, if that father knew that there were guests coming and didn't invite him in to entertain them, he would teach me a lesson."

After hearing what Hinata said, Ino paused and agreed. She didn't expect that a big family would have so many rules.

Because the relationship between her and Hinata is not as good as that of Sakura, she originally just wanted to talk and leave. Now it seems that it is not easy for Hinata to be blamed because of her.

Soon, Ino followed Hinata into the Hinata family's mansion.

As soon as he entered, Ino saw two people who were still training in the open field in the middle. One of them he knew was Hyuga Neji, and the other...

"That's my father. He's training with Ningci-san right now." Hinata said with a smile. "Ever since Ningci-san and Naruto-kun fought, Ningci-san seems to have had a close relationship with his father. The relationship has improved."

"Well, where is Naruto-kun~" Ino didn't know much about the Hinata family, but she could hear the change in Hinata's tone when talking about Naruto.

Hinata's face suddenly turned red, she lowered her head and said, "Come this way."

Soon, Ino followed Hinata to a guest room, and then looked at Hinata busy, and couldn't help but sigh again that there are so many rules in a big family.

Then, after Hinata finished her work, Ino also told Hinata what happened.

"So that's it. I will try my best. Thank you very much!" Hinata was also surprised after hearing this.

"You're welcome. Aren't we classmates? We can also be considered friends." Ino thought for a while and said.

"Huh? Huh!" Hinata's eyes lit up and she nodded vigorously.

Seeing Hinata like this, Ino had a headache. It was a bit difficult to find a topic. Well, the best way to improve relationships between girls is to gossip, or...

"Hinata, you like Naruto, right?" Ino smiled evilly.

"Well, this...that..."

Ino watched helplessly as Hinata's face turned red, and finally looked like a red tomato. She couldn't help covering her mouth and snickering.

"Hinata, you can't do this. I think that guy can be easily dealt with. You can't act speechless every time you see him." Ino thought for a while and said, "You do this and that. Guys probably think you’re a little weird too.”

"Well..." Hinata became a little anxious when she heard this and said, "But, every time I see Naruto-kun, I feel my heart beating fast, and then I can't speak."

"Then you are in a very serious situation." Ino looked at Hinata and was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Hinata was in such a deep situation.

"Hmm... um." Hinata almost buried her head in her chest.

"But because of this, you have to get in touch with Naruto more. It will definitely not work if you do this." Ino said seriously, "Don't worry, I support you and I will help you make suggestions."

"Well, thank you...but..." Hinata was about to say no, but Ino continued.

"You're welcome, Hinata, your physical skills are pretty good, right? Can I spar with you in the future?"

"Well, yes, it's okay." Hinata nodded.

"Okay, it's settled, I'll help you chase Naruto, and you'll be my sparring partner." Ino immediately finalized the plan.

"Huh? Oh, okay..." Hinata felt a little dizzy and agreed dully.

At this time, Hinata Hizu and Neji also finished sparring. When passing by, Hyuga Hizu saw Ino, nodded to her, and then left.

Ino also smiled, and then breathed a sigh of relief. She always felt that Hinata's father was so serious.

"Hinata, no one is using that venue now, right? Let's go over and try sparring." Ino said and became a little eager to try.

"Huh? Okay."
