You're Going to Make Me Jealous Like This

The door slammed shut.

Naruto roughly guessed that it was about High-level Meeting. The Ino-Shika-Cho Clans were all of one mind, and if they had to express their opinions, they would definitely share the same stance.

Moreover, the attitudes of the Ino-Shika-Cho are clearly influenced by Tsunade's attitude.

Jiraiya had left the village long ago, but retained only a vote. He became a nominal mentor and told Tsunade he wouldn't return for about six months.

The Akatsuki Organization was of great concern to him, Jiraiya planned to gather information about Itachi Uchiha's joining the Akatsuki Organization. He also made an appointment with Naruto to return every six months to teach him Ninjutsu.

"You seem to have grown taller?"

Ino walked ahead of Naruto with her hands behind her back, turned her head to look at the slow-moving Naruto, and said.

"Right, it's probably because the nutrition is getting better."

Naruto responded that his body had indeed grown very quickly in the past few months, and it was hard to say whether it was due to the system or if his body was simply growing wildly.

"It only went as far as me before, but now it's here." Ino gestured, raising her hand above her head. "Do boys grow very fast?"

"I don't know about others, but that's really how I am," Naruto said.

"The mission to retrieve Sasuke failed?"

"You're quite well-informed."

"No, I just guessed." Ino said with her hands behind her back, "Although I don't have a very deep relationship with Sasuke, he's still my idol since I was a child."

"With his personality, once he sets his mind on something, he'll never give up."

The two walked side by side, with Ino mainly taking the lead, heading towards a less crowded area.

"If you say that, I'll get jealous."

"Why are you jealous?" Ino said with a grin. "Sasuke has always been handsome, okay? No girl doesn't like Sasuke."

"It seems like it really does exist."

"Who?"

Hinata.

Ino: "You're making me jealous."

"Why are you jealous?" Naruto grinned back. "Hinata has always been gentle, okay? Nobody dislikes a rich little girl, right?"

"Tch, I have money too," Ino muttered under her breath.

"What did you say?"

"What's it to you! You pervert!"

He arrived in this world in the height of summer, when the situation was far from optimistic. Now, in the blink of an eye, it's September, the sun is blazing, vegetation is growing wildly, the Third Hokage is dead, Sasuke has defected.

The situation seems to have improved; all that's missing is the unsealing of the Nine-Tails.

"Are you spacing out again?"

"What?" Naruto snapped back to reality and saw Ino's cheeks puffed out, her face full of dissatisfaction.

"Come with me." Ino grabbed Naruto's arm and walked silently into a secluded alley.

In a shady alley on the east side of Konohagakure Street.

Green trees climbed the walls, crookedly clinging to both ends of the alley. Ino pulled Naruto along, quickly stepping across the yin-yang line at the alley entrance, and immediately felt an eerie chill.

The sound of their hurried footsteps was amplified several times in the quiet alley. Under the old wall with its green bricks and red tiles, Ino pressed Naruto against the wall.

She frowned, looking deep in thought, but she was already shorter than Naruto, making the scene rather comical.

What are you doing?

"Didn't I already tell you? I have something to tell you."

"What's going on? You didn't have to drag me to such a remote place, did you?" Naruto was a little embarrassed. Ino didn't seem to notice that the two of them were standing very close.

Naruto could just catch a glimpse of Ino's soft, swaying skin below her neck, and smell her delicate, virginal fragrance so close to his face. His heart skipped a beat, and dopamine surged through his veins.

"What kind of look is that?" Ino asked with disdain. "Why do you seem excited? How awful!"

"No." Naruto scratched his face awkwardly and chuckled sheepishly.

"Hey! You must have had some lewd thoughts on your mind just now, right?" Ino said disdainfully. "You weren't fantasizing about me, were you?"

"Even Ino as beautiful as Ino can't help but have all sorts of wild thoughts."

"Well, what you said makes sense." Ino turned her head away, as if she was trying hard not to show her shyness, but her pretense was too obvious.

Her fair face and neck were flushed with a rosy blush, and her attempt to hold back her tears was incredibly cute, like a strawberry cake dripping with cream.

"I wouldn't care about something as trivial as being fantasized about by a disgusting guy."

"Could you please remove the word 'disgusting'?" Naruto sighed.

"I refuse." Ino took a step back, crossing her arms warily. "Don't you dare lust after a beautiful girl, you bastard!"

"Sorry, I can't forget what it looked like in the Maid Outfit."

"That's the shame of my whole life!" Ino said through gritted teeth, completely leading the conversation.

"I will definitely remember it, it will be etched into my very bones."

"You!" Ino's chest heaved with anger at Naruto's few words, and she cursed, "You better not fall into my hands one day!"

"I really look forward to that day coming soon."

"You..." Ino took a moment to calm down before taking a deep breath and saying, "What I'm about to say is top-secret, so no one else can hear it."

"Really?" Naruto also looked nervous. "Then you'd better move closer, it would be bad if someone heard us."

"Oh, okay." Ino was confused, but realized something was wrong as she got closer.

"Ah!!! You're lying to me again!"

"I'm not lying to you. If you're far away, you'll definitely have to speak loudly, just in case the walls have ears." Naruto glanced around and shrugged.

"Anyway, you went to all that trouble to drag me here, wasn't it all to avoid being seen? If this last step is overheard, then what's the point of you deliberately choosing such a secluded place?"

"Huh? What you said seems to make some sense." Ino blinked, unable to quite put her finger on it for a moment.

"Are you shy at a time like this?" Naruto asked again before she could react.

"How could this be!" Ino regretted saying it as soon as the words left her mouth.

She saw a smug smile flash across Naruto's lips, and her face darkened instantly, but the die was cast.

"Stop laughing!" Ino pinched Naruto's waist and frowned. "Listen carefully, I won't repeat myself if you miss a single word."

"I understand." Naruto was still smiling.

"Damn it!" Ino glared at him, then tiptoed and leaned close to Naruto's ear, her warm breath constantly penetrating his ear, causing Ino's voice to tremble.

"I... I forgot."

"What?" he exclaimed in surprise, turning his head sharply.

Their lips were almost touching, Naruto could see Ino's blue pupils suddenly widen, reflecting his face.

The sun blazed overhead, and birdsong drifted from the distant woods, sometimes high, sometimes low.

A summer breeze blows, and a woman's blush is more powerful than a long monologue.
