Naruto: If I ask you to be Naruto, you will become a yellow-haired person?

With the air of a Yakuza boss, little blonde Ino rolled up her sleeves, revealing half of her white, lotus-root-like arms, and charged forward, unstoppable.

The little girls surrounding Sakura Haruno, who had been wearing mocking sneers, saw Sakura's friend coming to her rescue.

"It's unbelievable that a kid from a commoner's family has friends like that helping her!"

"Hmph, just another ignorant kid from a commoner's family! Let's beat her up together!"

Then, noticing the easily identifiable appearance of the newcomer, the fair-skinned, exquisitely dressed little Ino, their faces changed to astonishment and fear.

After all, there weren't many prominent clans in Konoha, especially the three children of the Ino-Shika-Cho clan leaders, who were always inseparable.

"Oh no, it's Yamanaka-sama!"

"This is bad! Retreat!"

"Ouch! How is Ino-sama as strong as the older kids! Please don't hit me!"

Under the rough justice of the little blonde's iron fists.

In an instant, those children from ordinary ninja families scattered like frightened birds, clutching their heads and running away without looking back.

"Waaah~ Ino, you're so good!"

Immediately, accompanied by the pleasant fragrance of a young girl, a light pink figure plunged into Ino's arms.

"Ino, you're my best friend! We'll be friends forever~"

Sakura Haruno, nestled in Ino's soft embrace, raised her tear-streaked face, looking deeply moved.

Ino gently stroked Sakura Haruno's smooth pink hair, comforting her.

"Of course, Sakura-chan!"

Then, Ino's porcelain-like, delicate, white smiling face instantly stiffened as she looked at a small figure not far away.

"How can it be! Why is Naruto-kun here too? Did he see me beating those people up just now!"

"Has my image as a gentle and refined young lady in Naruto-kun's heart collapsed!"

"This is terrible, I don't want that to happen!"

But if she had to choose again, she would probably still help Sakura, even at the risk of being disliked by Naruto-kun, after all, Sakura Haruno is her best friend!

"Ino, Sakura Haruno."

Naruto smiled and nodded at the two cute little girls, as expected of the ninja academy's twin flowers.

Unfortunately, in the original story, Sakura Haruno unilaterally broke off her friendship with Ino because of Sasuke.

In his opinion, Ino's pursuit of Sasuke, aside from the small factor that she was attracted to his looks, was largely because Ino wanted to gain the attention of her good friend Sakura Haruno...

As a heartless reward machine, he was here to become stronger!

Looking at the options before him.

[Option 1: Express your love for Yamanaka Ino, Reward: Shuriken Throwing Skill]

[Option 2: Express your dislike for Ino's rough beating of others, expressing that you prefer Hinata Hyuga's well-behaved and dignified young lady persona. Reward: Rasengan]

Little blonde Ino, her delicate, light golden short hair shone brightly in the bright sunlight.

The hand that was originally stroking Sakura's hair was nervously fidgeting.

The other small hand, sweaty, tightly grasped the dress embroidered with lace.

She seemed like a criminal on trial, and the little boy in front of her was the judge, whose words could determine her mood and future.

"Ino, I hate..."

Ino only heard the word 'hate' in a daze, it's over! Naruto-kun really hates me!

Her little head was blank, like a tangled mess.

They had only known each other for a short time, and she had been more enthusiastic and proactive towards him, simply because she thought this boy was a bit handsome.

But why did a sour and painful feeling suddenly surge in her chest.

Hmph! At worst, she'll just find another, even more handsome guy!

Ino's small, upright nose was originally planning to snort proudly, to express her indifference to the other party,

But only a muffled sound came from her small nose, as if it was blocked by snot.

Yamanaka Ino's bright eyes slowly filled with misty fog, and sparkling tears accumulated in her eye sockets.

She suddenly lost her ability to think.

"...gentle girls, because gentle girls are gentle to everyone around them.

And I really like girls like Ino who express their gentleness only to me~"

[Reward obtained: Shuriken Throwing Skill (Entry: 1/10)]

Watching Naruto's satisfied figure leave,

Sakura Haruno looked envious and excited, and tugged hard at Ino's white and tender little arm.

She stretched her small face to Ino's face, jumping up and down cheerfully.

"Ino! Naruto-kun was confessing just now, right!"

"He said he likes you~ He likes Ino who is gentle to him alone~"

"If Sasuke said those words to me, I would rather die tonight!"

"So envious!"

Sakura Haruno's face was full of envy, her eyes seemed to be filled with stars as she looked at the little blonde next to her.

Only then did she notice the strangeness of her best friend beside her, belatedly realizing,

"Eh~ Ino, why are you crying?" She said, reaching out her small hand to wipe away Ino's sparkling tears.

Yamanaka Ino woke up as if from a dream, and the words Naruto had just said connected in her brain at this moment, and she reacted.

Then a warm current flowed through her limbs, and strength surged out again, her white and tender face flushed red.

The latest novel is released on 69shu.com!

Even her slender and elegant swan-like neck was stained with a large patch of red.

Naruto-kun... didn't say he hated me, but that he liked me?!

"Ino! You're not crying because you're moved, are you~ You're too useless!"

"Hmph! That's not it!"

Yamanaka Ino didn't want to lose face in front of her best friend, she raised her melon-seed face, which shone with a bright, porcelain-like light in the sunlight, and snorted.

Her face, blooming with peach-like red, was exceptionally bright.

Ino brushed back the golden wisps of hair that clung to her skin, happily and proudly.

"Hmph! This young lady only needs to use a little charm to completely control little Naruto-kun!"

"Tch~~"

Sakura Haruno looked at her best friend, who was overjoyed, and rolled her eyes with a smile.

...

In an inconspicuous, cold corner of the rooftop,

Hinata looked enviously from afar at Ino and Sakura Haruno, who were laughing and playing on the lawn.

I wonder what Naruto-kun and Ino-san were talking about just now.

If it were me, I probably wouldn't even have the strength to speak in front of Naruto-kun...

Naruto-kun probably wouldn't like such a timid me...

At this moment, a loud laugh rang out from behind her.

"Hinata, you're here? I've been looking for you for a long time!"

Ah?! Naruto... Naruto-kun!

Hinata turned her head sharply, looking at the familiar blonde boy with a gentle smile,

Suddenly, a surge of joy welled up, and her heart skipped a beat.

Then Hinata hurriedly averted her gaze, her small face as red as if it was about to drip blood, and stared intently at her small toes.

Naruto looked at the conservative long-sleeved training uniform that tightly wrapped Hinata's petite body,

And the milky white skin of the girl that could be glimpsed in her neck.

When Hinata grows up, she won't be able to see her toes when she looks down.

"Didn't eat enough at noon, right."

"I have some rice balls here that I specially saved for you, Hinata."

Hearing Naruto's concerned words, Hinata panicked, her head dizzy.

How did Naruto-kun... how did he know I wasn't full, so embarrassing~

Her face flushed even more at once, and suddenly a small outstretched hand appeared in her lowered line of sight.

It was a few small snacks carefully wrapped in cloth, but they seemed a little wilted and crushed from being stored close to the body.

Then the boy's awkward voice rang out, and the outstretched palm was about to be withdrawn in a panic.
