Naruto: Fox and Cat

"Shikamaru!!" When Naruto found Shikamaru in one of the tents, he and Ino were selecting photos there.

"What's wrong? Naruto?" Shikamaru was holding a photo in his hand and looked at Naruto coming here a little strangely.

"Well, I'm going out with Kakashi-sensei in the next few days." Naruto said simply, because he knew that Shikamaru would know where he planned to go without having to explain.After looking at the pile of photos on the table, he couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing here?"

"Category the photos to see which ones have information and which ones belong to acquaintances and send them back." Shikamaru explained calmly, then reached out and handed a few photos to him, "This is yours."

"Mine?" Naruto took it with some doubts and found that they were several photos of Sakura Luofeng, almost all of them were photos of her sitting in front of the Wind House holding several cats or other daily photos.

"Wind..." Naruto looked at the calm and gentle person in the photo quietly with a somewhat nostalgic expression.It seemed like it had been nearly two or three months since I last saw her...

Ino looked at him and then at the messy photos on the table for a while and then suddenly said, "Naruto, what should I do... Sasuke is regarded as a traitor..."

"Originally, when he defected to Orochimaru, he was already a traitor. It's just that Tsunade-sama withstood the pressure to protect him." Shikamaru continued to organize the photos on the table and spoke lazily, "However, Sasuke I once sent a very useful piece of information back, maybe I can make up for it."

"..." Naruto and Ino were stunned subconsciously. They blinked at each other before digesting Shikamaru's very informative words, but the next second they collectively shouted in surprise. , "Ahem???"

Shikamaru presciently blocked his ears and waited for them to finish shouting, then continued to sort through the photos slowly.

Naruto, who came back to his senses, immediately grabbed Shikamaru's shoulders and shouted loudly, "Why, Shikamaru, did you know that Sasuke had sent information back?! Has Sasuke returned to the village?! When??"

"Yes! Why would Shikamaru know?! Do you know how to contact Sasuke?!" Ino was also very anxious. After all, Sasuke has been her dream lover since childhood!

After silently rolling his eyes, Shikamaru said helplessly, "Actually, he didn't send it. He just came with Mai and told me the truth about Pain. As for his contact information, I don't know either. . Originally, Tsunade-sama planned to remove Sasuke's identity as a traitorous nin after the Pain incident was over, but it ended up like this."

Naruto, who had no idea what was going on, quickly asked, "When? Shikamaru, when did you see Sasuke and Mai?! Why did he come to you instead of to me?! And why didn't you You told me earlier?!"

"You went to practice celestial arts at that time, okay..." Shikamaru explained helplessly, "Besides, I'm super busy these days, okay. And you didn't ask me..."

"I actually missed so many things...I didn't even know that Sasuke had come back..." Naruto was depressed for a few seconds, and then he gritted his teeth and looked at Shikamaru with an innocent face, "Why did Sasuke do this? Contact you!! Why don’t you contact me!!”

"I told you that you weren't here at that time. Besides, if you saw Sasuke, you would definitely do anything to keep him here. He is 100% too troublesome..."

"Shika! Maru!!" Naruto grinded his teeth and yelled, "Why?! Isn't Sasuke our companion?! Why would you find it troublesome!"

"It's just because you always say that he is a companion and friend, plus what you said last time, that I am willing to help him, okay, it's really troublesome..." Shikamaru couldn't help but roll his eyes, saying that he It didn't help Uchiha Sasuke much...

"Damn it! Why didn't Sasuke come back and tell us in Class [-]!" Naruto said angrily, and then remembered the key points Shikamaru just said and said anxiously, "In other words, as long as you tell the current Hokage Now that you understand, won't Sasuke be regarded as a traitorous ninja? Then I'll go immediately!!"

"The new Hokage has left the village."

Shikamaru's calm words poured directly on Naruto like a bucket of cold water, instantly making him freeze there.

After looking at him, Shikamaru continued, "However, I guess this new Hokage will not last long. After all, his reputation is not very good, and..."

Shikamaru didn't continue. After a pause, he asked another question, "When will you set off?"

"We'll leave in a moment. I'll go see if Grandma Tsunade is awake first." After Naruto came to his senses, he waved his hand and left here holding the photos dearly.

Shikamaru looked at his back and suddenly said, "Ah, that's right, Naruto. Wait a minute."

"Huh?" Naruto stopped and looked at him in confusion, not knowing what was going on.

"Go and see Hinata. She should be awake now." After saying that calmly, he handed over the matter in hand to Ino and walked out, "I'll go find Kakashi-sensei."

"Huh?", Naruto was stunned for a moment. Just as he was about to ask 'why', Shikamaru had already walked away. He tilted his head in confusion and then he remembered that when Pain attacked, Hinata went by herself because she was injured. You should also take a look at her.

Ino looked at Naruto who was stunned, and then thought about Hinata's love which was equivalent to an open secret, and couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

It's a pity that Luo Hua wanted to be ruthless. Even if Naruto knew that intention, he would probably refuse it.After all, everyone knows who Naruto's heart belongs to...

[Although I am a bit too much towards Hinata, it is better to end the fruitless relationship as soon as possible...], Ino clenched her fist, and then said to Naruto, who had already figured out why Shikamaru said that, "By the way, Naruto . Since you are going to see Hinata, why not let me pack a bouquet of flowers for you."

"Huh? Flower?" Naruto was a little stunned and confused for a moment.

"If you go to visit a girl, of course you need to bring some gifts, right?" Ino smiled, then put down what she was doing and walked out, "I remember that the flower garden on the east side was not destroyed."

"Oh, thanks……"

……………………………………………………………………………………………… …………………………………

Ino was choosing flowers over there, while Naruto stood in front of a flower bed full of white flowers, silently looking down at the flawless white flowers.

The white flowers don’t have too many gorgeous petals, but they make people unable to take their eyes away.The flowers are simple in shape but have a beautiful delicacy.

Ino came over with a bouquet of white tulips. Seeing him staring at the calla lilies in a daze, she couldn't help but smile and said, "I remember that the pot of flowers you gave to Miss Feng was a white calla lily."

"Well, I couldn't find it when I went there to look for it. The House of Wind was all destroyed..." Naruto reached out and touched the snow-white flower in front of him, but the image that usually appeared in his mind came to mind. The girl among the cats.

"This kind of flower looks very similar to Miss Feng, right?" Ino saw his expression and knew what he was thinking. She smiled and then said teasingly, "Besides, the flower language of white calla lilies is very romantic. But , I’m sure a careless guy like you wouldn’t know it.”

"Huh? Flower language?" Naruto was stunned for a moment, his face full of confusion, "What is that?"

"As expected," Ino showed an expression that she had known she would be like before. She also reached out and touched the beautiful white flower and said with a smile, "The flower language of the white calla lily is 'loyalty and eternal bond', which is very romantic. The words."

"Huh?" Naruto was stunned again, and then said with a silly smile, "Hahahaha~~ When I saw this kind of flower, I thought it was very suitable for the wind. I didn't expect that the language of flowers said this~~Hey Hehehehe~~~~I was really smart to say that~~~"

"Moreover, the flower language of white calla lily has a beautiful story "Wind, I have been chasing you (white calla lily flower language)"," Ino smiled, and then watched his face start to turn red in amusement. stand up.

"Wind, I have been chasing you..." Naruto murmured that sentence in a low voice, his face turned red for a while and then he just laughed, "That's right, maybe this is the so-called fate~~ ~”

"Okay, okay, stop staring at the flowers and thinking about your sweetheart." Ino gave him the bouquet of white tulips in her hand angrily, and said helplessly, "White tulips represent purity. Friendship. You should go visit Hinata now."

"Hmm..." Naruto nodded, took another deep look at the white calla lilies and then left.

"..." Ino looked at Naruto's back and couldn't help but sigh for her shy companion, [Naruto is indeed a very good person, but it's a pity, this is fate. No points...]

Turning her head to look at the blossoming white calla lilies, Ino also thought of that gentle girl.Gentle but not weak, beautiful but not delicate, she looks like she needs to be held in someone's hand, but she is incredibly powerful.

All the factors are not contradictory, but they blend together to make people unable to take their eyes away.No wonder it makes Naruto so enamored...

After looking at the white flowers in silence for a long time, Ino finally came back to her senses and remembered that she still had something serious to do.But then I remembered the previous conversation between Shikamaru and Naruto, and now that I think about it, it feels like there was something in the words...

"Sasuke once passed on information about Pain, and indeed many people at the same time knew it. But why do I always feel that Shikamaru and Naruto know more information..." Ino thought for a while, and then Then he also walked outside, [Sure enough, I should go and talk to Sakura. After all, she must be very concerned about Sasuke, although I am also very concerned about it...]
