Chapter 612：

"I don't care about this, after all, my hands are full of blood."

"But since you can ask this question."

"There is a reason why Tsunade looks down on you."

Jiraiya looked a little embarrassed, Orochimaru stabbed him again:

"Two months later, Tsunade and Kato Dan got married."

Jiraiya was stunned for a moment, and then looked a little lonely.

Tsunade didn't tell him specifically, nor did she hide it from him.

It means that in Tsunade's eyes, he has never been there.

"I see."

"I want to see Xia Mu."

…

At this time.

Xia Mu and others are making dinner.

Xia Mu never treats him badly when he goes out. He always comes out with cooking utensils.

After completing the previous task, they left the team directly.

Set off on the road alone.

For Natsuki, the main thing is to observe Naruto and Sasuke.

For now, Sasuke is a little less awkward, and Naruto can't see it for the time being.

Although the shadow clone cannot be used as casually as before, it can still be used if you study hard.

For Naruto, his strength has not dropped much.

It's just that Naruto is a little uncomfortable with it.

What happened during the day made several people feel a little better.

Everyone has their own ideas.

Especially Hinata and Naruto.

I always felt that what Xia Mu said was meant for him.

While eating, Naruto and Hinata looked at each other several times.

Hinata looked away in panic, and Naruto also buried his head in eating with some concealment.

Sasuke looked at Naruto and Hinata, somewhat anxiously.

After eating, Hinata was cleaning up.

Natsuki looked at Naruto beside him, and it was a bit funny how he wanted to help but couldn't do it.

"Naruto, you and Hinata should go to the creek to the north to clean up."

Hinata and Naruto were stunned for a moment, don't they need ninjutsu to clean it up?

However, the two of them seemed to come to their senses afterwards, and after saying yes, they took the pots and bowls and walked towards the stream.

Sasuke sat next to Natsuki and felt awkward seeing the distance between the two deliberately kept.

"Master, did you let Naruto and Hinata go out together on purpose?"

It's been so long, Hinata has become so obvious, Naruto is like a goose, Sasuke is really worried.

But he really didn’t know what Xia Mu meant.

Natsuki reached out and rubbed Sasuke's head, making Sasuke's hair a mess:

"What you can see, can't I?"

Sasuke quickly broke away from Natsuki's hand, but he rarely complained about Natsuki rubbing his hair.

Instead, she said excitedly while arranging her hair:

"Master! I didn't expect you to be such a person!"

The corners of Xia Mu's lips curled up slightly, thinking: You don't know that your master likes sweets the most.

But Xia Mu changed his tone to a serious tone:

"Do you remember another time and space?"

"Itachi and Izumi liked each other very early there, but just because they didn't speak to each other, it ended up being a lifelong regret."

The look on Sasuke's face dimmed: "Is that so?"

Xia Mu sighed: "So, I don't want your brother to miss your sister Quan again."

"Your brother and Quan made a private decision ten years ago, and I was the one who pushed it forward."

"Look at Naruto and Hinata, how long have they been wasting their time?"

"Sasuke, everything doesn't have to be delayed as long as possible."

"Just like our mission today, although it is not the same thing, there are some things that should be said when they should be said."

"Sometimes you feel that if you wait a moment, you might miss it if you wait too long."

Sasuke nodded thoughtfully.

…

Chapter 687 Naruto confesses his love

By the creek.

Hinata and Naruto walked awkwardly to the creek.

Naruto had lived by himself since he was a child, so it was no problem to wash pots and dishes.

Although Hinata is the eldest lady of the clan, she has servants in her family.

I can do anything when I go out.

One of the two washes the dishes and the other washes the pot.

It was done in two minutes.

After putting the pots and bowls together, both parties were speechless.

But it was Naruto who spoke first: "Hinata, I have something to tell you."

Hinata blushed and said, "I also have something to tell you."

Naruto scratched his head: "Then Hinata, you can talk first."

Hinata bit her lip, thinking of what happened today.

His face turned red: "What kind of girl does Naruto-kun like!?"

"Huh?" Hinata's question made Naruto completely stunned.

"Girl, what kind of girl?"

After Hinata said what she said, the pressure eased a little, and she saw Naruto looking a little confused.

I couldn't help but add: "Do you like Shiro, or Ino, or Sakura?"

Naruto's pupils dilated: "Bai...Bai!?"

Hinata thought Naruto was answering Shiro, and suddenly felt a little disheartened: "Do you like girls like Shiro?"

Like thunder, the words Natsuki said today suddenly appeared in Naruto's mind.

"The same goes for other things. I just hold back and don't say anything. Then when something happens in the future, the good things turn into bad things, and I regret it."

Naruto was really frightened and said hurriedly:

"No, no, you misunderstood, Bai is not a girl!"

"Ah!...?" Hinata was just about to feel sad, but within a second her brain shut down.

"Isn't Bai a girl?"

Naruto nodded vigorously: "Yes, he is a boy."

The image of Shiro appeared in Hinata's mind, and she drew it with both hands: "But... Shiro is very cute..."

Naruto couldn't help but feel embarrassed at this time, and said quickly: "Shiro is really a boy."

"And even if he is a girl, I don't like him."

"I have a favorite person!"

"I like you!"

"What I want to tell you is that I like you!"

"I have always liked you very much!"

Naruto said all the words in one breath.

He was really scared. Such a big example was right in front of him during the day. Only now did Naruto realize that Hinata had begun to misunderstand.

If you don’t tell me now, maybe in the future, as Master said, good things will turn into bad things.

Naruto looked at Hinata seriously, his eyes serious and firm.

Hinata was completely stunned. She just wanted to ask what type of girl Naruto liked.

Unexpectedly, Naruto confessed his love to her directly.

Hinata's face began to turn red, and just as she was about to lower her head, she found Naruto looking at her seriously.

No, I can't back down either.

Hinata mustered up all her courage, clasped her hands and said loudly:

"Naruto, I like you too!"

Hinata just finished speaking and exhaled in one breath, as if all the strength in her body had been exhausted.

My feet felt weak and I couldn't stand firmly.

Naruto was staring at Hinata.

Hinata's answer made him feel a surge of ecstasy in his heart.

Then he saw Hinata unsteady, and Naruto quickly reached out to hold Hinata.

Hinata suddenly fell into Naruto's arms.

Plop…

Plop…

In the quiet forest, their hearts were beating very fast.

Even the sound of the stream nearby seemed to be unable to suppress the sound of the fiery heartbeat.

The two of them were stiff at first, but as time passed, Hinata slowly relaxed.

Gently leaned into Naruto's arms.

Naruto slowly hugged Hinata, his movements cautious, fearing that Hinata would break into pieces.

"Naruto, you know, I liked you ten years ago when you helped me get rid of those who bullied me."

Naruto remembered that it had been a long time since Hinata was bullied and he went to help. That must have been the first time he saw Hinata.

Naruto said a little embarrassed:

"You still remember when you liked me, but I don't know when I started to like you."

Hinata shook her head gently: "It doesn't matter. When I like you, you happen to like me, so that's good."

A bright light flashed in Naruto's mind:

"Did Master tell us what happened today specifically?"
