Are You a Pig? All You Do Is Eat, Eat, Eat

The wedding officially began, with all sorts of important figures in attendance.

Tsunade exchanged a few words with Shikaku Nara, then her gaze swept straight past everyone else, aiming directly at Naruto. Everyone's attention followed suit, turning to the boy who was constantly eating.

"Cough cough!" Choji gave Naruto a push.

Naruto looked up and saw Tsunade already standing in front of him. The heavy pressure made him pause for a moment. His gaze shifted upwards, and he suddenly felt like cursing.

Why would someone come here for no reason? This fat sheep is probably doing it on purpose. I could have easily gotten away with this mess by just keeping a low profile.

Sure enough, Ino and Hinata both turned their gazes toward them.

"Are you very hungry?" Tsunade asked, somewhat amused.

"Are you very free?" Naruto asked with a smile, his mouth slightly open, his voice almost squeezed out from between his teeth.

"I am indeed a bit hungry. Is there anything I can help you with, Lord Tsunade?" Naruto thought to himself, but he still had to give Tsunade face in front of everyone, partly because he was afraid she would embarrass him.

Secondly, I'm afraid she'll undermine me; thirdly, I'm still afraid she'll undermine me!

"Oh, it's nothing, I was just checking in on you." Tsunade smiled, displaying a gentle, superior demeanor that sent chills down Naruto's spine.

Is this some kind of old woman putting on an acting show? I've never seen her like this before; she's always either drinking heavily or sleeping on her desk. She's always doing nothing productive; I wonder what she's doing.

Naruto's lips twitched, but before he could say anything, Tsunade turned and left.

He noticed that Hinata glanced at him furtively in the crowd, while Ino stared at him intently, her expression not very pleasant.

He had planned everything meticulously, but he never expected that it was Tsunade who had attracted them. He was instantly filled with rage, but there was nothing he could do but try to find a way to get through this.

Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; never underestimate a young man's potential, for he may be a fat sheep waiting for you!

In the blink of an Ino, the person was gone, and Ino's brows furrowed even deeper. That guy sure slipped away quickly; all he ever did was eat.

Since she couldn't see anyone, she lost interest. She planned to go back and check the wedding venue before heading home; the group was close and didn't care about such formalities.

After the wedding, Shikamaru organized a get-together for a meal, which marked the end of the wedding ceremony.

Just as she was about to leave, a person suddenly darted out from the side. He looked to be in his early twenties, a complete stranger, but he smiled very solicitously. He greeted her and spoke.

"Miss Yamanaka Clan, may I introduce myself? I am Shimura, a ninja from the Shimura Clan."

Upon hearing this, Ino paused for a moment.

The Shimura Clan, a family that has always been at odds with the Ino-Shika-Cho, actually came to greet her? "Really," she thought to herself, though her face remained expressionless.

Before she could refuse, the man was suddenly pushed.

Naruto suddenly appeared out of nowhere, his tone somewhat impatient, "Get lost, you dog of the Shimura Clan, don't let me see you again, or I'll shove a table in your mouth."

"You!"

"What do you mean 'you'? Get lost! Do you want to get beaten up in public?" Naruto didn't bother to listen and raised his foot to kick the man, who then left angrily.

"Hmph, are you a pig? All you know is eating."

"Hey, how can you talk like that?" Naruto took advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention and dragged Ino away from the scene, making sure Hinata wasn't there before they left.

"What are we doing?" Ino was still somewhat unwilling as Naruto led her to a secluded spot at the wedding.

Naruto's attire was probably the most formal he had ever worn. The black traditional open-front jacket with a black lining gave him a simple and aloof look, while his broad frame exuded a unique masculine sexiness.

Ino smoothed her blonde hair from her forehead. She wore a light-colored sleeveless bodysuit and a pencil skirt. Her arms were exposed, revealing a large expanse of fair skin, and she looked slightly displeased.

"What are you angry about?" he asked.

This angle perfectly blocks Ino, so even if someone comes, they won't see that there's another person in the corner.

"Hmph, it's none of your business if I'm angry."

"Oh, so you think I eat too much and that I'm embarrassing you?"

"No way! Don't talk nonsense!" Ino reacted strongly, stomping on his foot hard. "You know perfectly well that, and you're still pretending!"

Upon hearing this, Naruto was taken aback.

"Did you know I'd be going on a mission right after my wedding?"

"You're going on a mission?" Ino was bewildered. "Why are you in such a rush?"

"Who knows? Lord Tsunade just told me this morning," Naruto said without changing his expression, directly altering Tsunade's original words.

"She said the task was urgent, and she had to leave as soon as the wedding was over, as she couldn't wait until tomorrow."

Upon hearing this, Ino's emotions were indeed swayed, and she looked at Naruto with some concern. She took his hand and asked softly.

"Is it dangerous?"

A ninja's mission cannot be revealed, especially to those unrelated to the mission; not even a word can be uttered to family. Ino, being a ninja herself, naturally wouldn't ask.

"There's no danger, but I don't know when I'll be back." What he said was true; the Dragon Vein wasn't very stable, and its fate was uncertain.

"Then you must come back safely."

"Good."

Naruto chuckled and reached out to pinch Ino's cheek, only to realize abruptly that this was Hinata's habit of pinching her cheek, but his hand was already outstretched, and there was no reason to pull it back.

Ino was also a little surprised, as he had never pinched her cheeks before. That jerk always liked to pinch other parts of her face, but since they had just met and were about to part, she didn't think too much about it.

"These kinds of missions only happen a few times a year, so don't worry." He smiled slightly. "I'll probably be spending more time in the village from now on, so I'll probably need to rest for a while."

"Hmm." Ino wasn't in a good mood. She had just lowered her head when she suddenly remembered Hinata. She frowned and looked up to ask.

Have you seen Hinata?

Naruto pursed his lips, thinking that it would be too obvious if he said he didn't see it at this moment. But if he said he did see it, it would easily upset Ino.

In a flash, he had already found the answer in his heart.

"I saw it and wanted to go over and say hello, but I don't have time now," Naruto said. "I have to rush to the Hokage Building after the wedding starts."

"If you see her later, remember to say hello for me."

Instead of saying he didn't see it, he boldly admitted that he did and even wanted to say hello. But at the same time, he said that the mission was too late, even though he was clearly still cuddling with Ino.

The implication is that Ino is far more important than Hinata, even less important than the mission. More importantly, he even had Ino put in a good word for him, which, to some extent, was a declaration of his ownership.

Sure enough, Ino relaxed her furrowed brows and smiled as she spoke.

"Okay then, I'll do it for you."

He smiled, then reached out and hooked his arm around Ino's neck, quickly kissing her.

"Ugh!!"

She tried to struggle, but stopped after a short while. Outside, the wedding was bright and beautiful Kishita the cherry blossoms in April, while in a dimly lit corner, the atmosphere was bustling with excitement.

Finally, Ino languidly embraced him, her face flushed. Her voice, like the gentle ripples of spring water, murmured a question.

"Naruto, do you like me?"

"I like it," Naruto said with a smile, then lowered his head and kissed her lips, asking in a low voice, "Let's sneak away to my house."

Those incredibly seductive and provocative words made Ino tense all over, her ears burning, and her hands feeling a little weak, but she still gently pushed away his chest.

". don't want!"

She knew what would happen if she ran away at this moment. It wasn't that she was unwilling to give it to him, but she felt a little wronged. Ino always felt that Naruto couldn't be completely devoted to anyone; he could never get past Hinata.

She had initially thought defiantly that if he couldn't completely break off his relationship with Hinata, even kissing wouldn't be an option. But desire is a deep abyss; it's easy to fall in, but hard to climb out.

"Hmph!" She straightened her disheveled clothes, her face flushed red to her neck. "Next time, don't touch me like that."

"Okay, okay," he said with a lazy smile, it was unclear whether he had actually listened.

But Ino knew the answer was definitely no, because although she said it, she didn't actually have much of a resistance to these things.

It was comfortable overall, though a little strange. But since no one else was watching, sneaking around was actually quite exciting. Her heart pounded, and the contradictory-looking Ino even cautiously glanced left and right.

She breathed a small sigh of relief once she was sure no one was coming over.

Naruto grinned slightly at her adorable side. Ino's neat hair had become disheveled from their friendly interaction, and she was pinching her blonde ponytail as she turned back to glare at him reproachfully.

"Don't laugh! It's all your fault!!"

"Okay, I won't laugh anymore."

He was still smiling, but something indescribable seemed to have crept into his heart. His heart was gradually enveloped by something warm, and the empty shell beneath it slowly filled out.

The wedding continued, and Naruto found Choji, who quickly went through the motions as a groomsman. In the rush, Ino, dressed as a bridesmaid, glanced back at him.

It wasn't over yet; Naruto had already quickly changed his clothes, which puzzled Choji.

"Where are we going? It's not over yet!"

"There's no time for the task Lord Tsunade assigned. Please tell Shikamaru for me." Naruto stuffed the clothes he had changed out of into Choji's arms and waved his hand as he spoke.

"I'm leaving now, let's get together again next time."

"Naruto." Before Choji could react, Naruto was already gone.

Choji blinked and muttered to himself.

"Is this a mission? This feels more like a getaway."

In the blink of an eye, Naruto had already left the venue, running all the way to the Hokage Building. Because of Shikamaru's wedding, the Hokage Building seemed rather empty.

But the people from the mission management office were still there; it was almost noon, and the two of them looked drowsy. Naruto didn't waste any words, went over and knocked on the table, grinning as he spoke.

"Lord Tsunade's task is to follow procedures."

The two men who had been holding back didn't dare offend the reckless blond-haired man, so they quickly completed the formalities for him, and he left the village in less than the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea.

At the wedding, Tsunade was also preparing to leave.

Before leaving, he glanced Choji and saw Kiba Inuzuka, Kiba, Neji, Rock Lee, but he was stunned because he was missing a conspicuous blond-haired guy.

"Where did Naruto go?" she asked.

Choji could only honestly relay Naruto's original words, and couldn't help but wonder to himself, wasn't this a mission that Lord Tsunade had sent him to carry out?

Ino heard it too and turned to look at Tsunade.

"A mission? He left so early? I even gave him special permission." Tsunade was halfway through her sentence when she realized what she had said and was speechless. This bastard was using her as a shield.

But since things had come to this point and Naruto wasn't present anymore, Tsunade naturally wasn't going to be so petty as to continue teasing Naruto. After thinking about it, she realized she was the one who had sent him on this mission, so she decided to help him cover up the lie.

"He was given special permission to attend Shikamaru's wedding before going. That guy is really something, he's always so serious when it comes to missions."

Upon hearing this, Ino dispelled her doubts and turned back to continue chatting and laughing.

"Oh, it's nothing. You're very pretty too."

Hinata stood in the crowd, silently watching Ino's direction, a hint of envy in her eyes. Ino was surrounded by people, yet she handled them with ease.

Everyone had a smile on their face, and bursts of laughter kept erupting.

If it were her, she definitely couldn't do that; she'd probably only say a couple of words before shutting up. Bright and confident—that's the kind of girl Naruto would prefer.

Lost in thought, she suddenly heard the laughter grow clearer and clearer, as if it were right next to her ear. But she didn't move at all; instead, she abruptly looked up.

Hinata noticed Ino approaching, surrounded by a few girls, some of whom she recognized, others of whom she had never seen before, and still others of whom were unfamiliar faces.

She looked up and met Ino staring at her. She was momentarily startled, blinked, and felt a dryness in her throat. Her face showed a bewildered expression, which was rather heartbreaking to see.

Ino's feelings were also somewhat complicated. The two of them hadn't spoken much for several years, and when they bumped into each other, they would only exchange greetings. Originally, they actually had a very good relationship.

That best summer was forever frozen in time at the age of twelve or thirteen Chunin Ninja Exams.

"Hinata, have you seen the bride's dress?" Ino smiled and took her hand, just like six years ago.

"Huh? No, no." Hinata lowered her head subconsciously, but did not pull her hand away. Feeling the warmth in her palm, she stammered a little.

"It's too far away, I can't see clearly."

She could have stood at the front, but she was afraid that running into Ino would make things awkward, so she stepped back when the wedding was almost over.

But since Ino asked her that question, and Hinata is not one to lie, she had no choice but to tell the truth.

"I'll take you to see them, they're inside," Ino said, secretly forgetting Naruto's suggestion to say hello to Hinata for him.

She knew it was tantamount to declaring sovereignty, but she wouldn't do it. She did want to declare sovereignty, and the six years of awkwardness were all for the sake of pride.

But when Naruto brought it up himself, she lost interest; she didn't want Hinata to be upset. Anyway, things always turned out well.

Hinata gentle and has a great figure, no wonder that guy likes her.

However, Hinata wasn't at fault, it was that bastard!! Ino instantly got angry again, deciding that next time he came back, he wouldn't be able to escape again!
