Naruto: I open a pet shop in the Ninja world.

Following behind Shikamaru and Choji was a little blonde loli.

She grabbed Choji's clothes, poked her head out from behind him, looked at Naruto, frowned, took a step forward, put her hands on her hips and stared at Naruto.

Naruto froze when he was looked at like this. He resisted the urge to turn around and run, and took a step back timidly: "You, who are you?"

"Ino, Naruto is starting to be afraid of you." Choji stood in front of Naruto to block his view.

"She is Yamanaka Ino. Our three families have been friends since our ancestors." Shikamaru sighed, "We met on the way here. She had to follow us."

"Why are you excluding me?" Little Ino acted like a big sister: "Go away, Choji."

She pushed Choji away, and Naruto was once again "exposed" to view: "I know you! You are the Kyuubi."

Naruto, who hadn't been addressed like this in a while, was stunned for a moment.

"Ino..." Choji was torn between the two: "Don't say that, Naruto."

Being protected by my friends like this, my depressed mood was swept away.

He imitated Ino, raised his chin and put his hands on his hips. He remembered the seal his uncle had mentioned, and admitted generously: "I am the Nine-Tailed Fox, but I have a name!"

"My name is Uzumaki Naruto!" he said with a bright smile.

Ino had seen Naruto on the road before, and he wasn't like this back then.

What she saw now was different from the rumors she had heard. She was dazzled by the confident and sunny smile and was stunned for a moment.

"You, are quite cute!" Although she is a girl, Ino is much taller than Naruto: "My name is Yamanaka Ino."

Naruto blushed when a girl suddenly praised him for being cute, "You are also very beautiful."

Ino was in a good mood after being praised back. She smiled and put her hand on Naruto's head and smoothed it, acting like a complete older sister: "You are much cuter than Shikamaru and Choji. They are not cute at all."

"We'll be friends from now on!"

Although they were inexplicably disliked, Shikamaru and Choji felt relieved that they could live in peace with each other.

After entering, Ino looked at the house curiously. It was too quiet. The only sound was their voice: "Where are your adults?"

"Uncle is off on a mission~" Naruto led the way, brought him to the living room, and then went to the kitchen to get a few bottles of juice: "You're welcome!"

Being able to entertain friends at home like this was something Naruto had never dared to imagine before.

Ino looked at the toys in the closet: "When will your uncle come back?"

"I don't know." Naruto shook his head: "But uncle said he will be back when everything in the refrigerator is gone!"

"Aren't you afraid of looking after the house alone at such a young age?" Ino sometimes feels lonely when she wakes up and doesn't see her mother.

Naruto shook his head and grinned, "This is my uncle and I's home. I'm not afraid at home."

Chi Qing was not at home, but there were already traces of their life in the house.

A large and a small towel and toothbrush, as well as clothes mixed together in the closet, etc...

"Naruto, you are so brave!" Ino gave Naruto a thumbs up.

"Hehe~" Naruto smiled shyly after being praised again.

And the shy smile made Ino's heart itch: "Naruto~ Treat me as my brother, I will take you home today!"

Today's study is more exciting and lively than yesterday because of Ino's joining.
