When the Wind Blew, the Scenery Turned Gentle

Having not seen each other for some time, the Yugito Nii appeared much more reserved, their beige braids now styled behind their heads. Their handsome faces were slightly somber, revealing neither joy nor sorrow.

She used to be very proud, but after two years of tempering, she has clearly become much more peaceful. She is no longer domineering or hostile.

"Believe in Evil God, and I'll let you out," Naruto said bluntly, without any beating around the bush.

Yugito paused for a moment, her pupils dilating slightly, clearly not expecting the conversation to begin so bluntly. After a moment's thought, she smiled faintly.

What if I refuse?

"Take all the books and entertainment items from your room, just give you food and drink and lock you up until you die," Naruto said, waving his hand impatiently.

Upon hearing this, a chill ran down her spine. All the words she had rehearsed countless times vanished in that instant, disappearing like a wisp of wind.

For over two years, she had grown accustomed to passing the time with books and videotapes. Suddenly, all of that was taken away, leaving her alone to face endless loneliness.

Just thinking about it made her feel extremely painful.

At the same time, she felt a little regretful, wishing she had adapted earlier. Now she dared not test the waters again, lest she only have one chance and be in trouble.

She didn't speak for a moment, then looked up at Naruto looking impatient. After much deliberation, she realized that her fate for the rest of her life was at stake, and even the calmest person would be shaken.

Can I think about it carefully?

"Casual."

After a while, the Yugito Nii walked to the prison door and spoke without any suspense.

"I can agree to that."

There were no buts; the Yugito Nii were not allowed to bargain. Naruto simply told her what to do: close your eyes and feel the summoning of the Evil God.

Actually, he made all of this up. Even if she closed her eyes and fell asleep, she wouldn't feel any Evil God summoning her. There's no such thing as an Evil God; it was just a ploy to make her relax.

In the instant his mind relaxed, Naruto brought up the control panel.

With a ding, the personal attribute panels of the Yugito Nii were brought up. Task 3 showed as bound, and the number of Evil God follower jumped from two to three.

[Yugito Nii]

[Kumogakure - Jonin - Female - 29 years old]

[Evil God follower - Playable. (Options hidden)]

[Talent: Free Tailed Beast Transformation]

At the very bottom of the panel is a comment from Yugito Nii: "A proud and gentle catgirl."

Oh, a catgirl.

Naruto glanced at it and immediately closed the system panel. Yugito Nii, on the other hand, looked left and right, seemingly unaffected by any changes.

"It's your turn to keep your promise. Let me out." Yugito looked up at Naruto. But Naruto simply snapped his fingers, and the cell door disappeared on its own.

Then nothing changed, Yugito with an incredulous expression. She looked at the vanished prison door, then at Naruto.

"Let me go."

"Didn't we already let you out?" Naruto asked, puzzled. "You're not locked up anymore. Go wherever you want, I won't stop you."

"What I mean is..." Yugito opened her mouth, but didn't say it.

Knowing it was pointless to talk to him, and that she had been tricked by this scoundrel, that damned blond guy! She wanted nothing more than to go berserk and kill him right now, but reason held her back.

Don't be impulsive, you can't win.

"Fine, I'm not going to bother with you anymore. Go on your own," Naruto said seriously, and then disappeared the next second.

The Yugito Nii gazed at the vanished prison cell and the empty Sealing Space. The entire world remained unchanged, except for the absence of the prison cell.

In fact, even without this cell, she couldn't escape. This made the Yugito Nii wonder if the person who set up the cell was just waiting for this.

She stood there for a while, then went back to her original cell.

On the sofa, Naruto snapped out of his daze.

He deliberately left the Yugito Nii hanging, these Jonin life and death, their willpower did not seem as fragile as that of Hydrangea and Yakumo Kurama.

No matter the situation, one will always choose the one that is most advantageous to oneself.

Good things often come with difficulties, and he hadn't expected the Yugito Nii to actually compromise so quickly. He needed to find a suitable opportunity to challenge her values, and speak to her when she was at a loss for what to do.

The next day.

"I heard the Jonin Exams are over?" he asked.

"You're asking me?" Tenten asked, looking puzzled.

"Otherwise what? Is there a second person here?" Naruto was speechless, looking at Tenten who looked completely bewildered, feeling that this Hokage secretary didn't seem very bright.

Under the Great Green Tree near the Hokage Building, the two of them each had an ice pop.

A blond-haired guy tried to use ice cream to gather information, saving him the trouble of asking around. The Jonin Exams' dates are uncertain, and the end date is also hard to say, but the Hokage's secretary definitely knows.

"I don't know either." She took a bite out of the popsicle.

"Didn't you see?" Naruto in surprise, completely stunned, and turned to look at her.

"Do we need to see it?" Tenten was even more surprised than him, turning to look at him with wide, confused eyes.

Naruto was convinced, so he had no choice but to meticulously teach her what a secretary should do. These were things that Shizune usually did, and he had seen it many times before, so he had gotten the hang of it.

"Oh!" Tenten had an expression that said, "I'm gradually understanding everything," which was quite adorable.

Naruto rolled his eyes, glanced at her, and said with a hint of helplessness.

"You ate the popsicle too. Go back and check on it, then tell me the result."

"Alright then." Tenten stood up; she was quite efficient in her actions. She ran towards the Hokage Building, but quickly returned.

"Are you trying to find out about Hinata?"

"No."

"That's a lie."

"That's right, alright?"

"You're not with Ino." Tenten looked at him in disbelief, her mouth forming an "o" shape, and it took her a while to realize what he meant.

"Don't make wild guesses, this has nothing to do with you." Naruto turned Tenten's shoulder around and pushed her away, urging her on.

"Hurry, hurry!"

She went somewhat reluctantly Tenten, even though the two had been through thick and thin together. Actually, she felt okay about Ino and Hinata, without any bias.

She went back to check the documents, and then kept her word and went downstairs again.

"The Jonin Exams ended today, and I saw Hinata's application." Tenten was very happy; her job as a secretary truly brought her joy.

"Have you seen the results?" he asked.

"How could that be! It can't be that fast. Last time I waited a full half month."

"Okay, thanks." Naruto got the answer, turned around and left, pulling out the Ruthless Sword. "I have to go now, see you next time, Tenten."

Standing still Tenten, I suddenly felt a sense of frustration, like I was just a tool.

Hateful!

Naruto didn't dwell on it too much and headed towards the Hyuga compound. However, the Hyuga compound an outsider, he couldn't get in at all.

But where else could the princess of the Hyuga Clan live if she didn't live in Hinata? Traditionally, a clan can only leave the Hyuga compound if it marries out.

The problem is that the Hyuga Clan, in order to maintain the purity of their bloodline, basically does not allow members to marry outside the clan. The Hyuga princess, needless to say, is free to move around Hinata day.

If someone doesn't return home at night, Hyuga Hiashi can explode directly.

Therefore, he had far less contact with Hinata than with Ino, and their interactions were much less frequent. Hinata, Hinata was gentle and not impatient.

Even if it's just for a short while, talking for a while, I always feel satisfied. She always has a gentle smile on her face, and her eyes are full of girlish innocence.

After waiting for quite a while, Naruto finally caught a tool.

"Hanabi! Come here."

Hearing the sound, Hanabi Hyuga turned around and saw Naruto squatting at the entrance of the Hyuga compound. She was taken aback at first, but then walked over very steadily.

"Naruto- nii-san, did you call me?"

Where is your sister?

"Just got home, what's wrong?" Hanabi Hyuga asked curiously.

"Um," he was about to say forget it, but then he thought about it and said, "You have some free time now, right? Quietly call your sister out."

He emphasized the word "quietly" with particular emphasis, thinking to himself that this brat should understand what he meant.

Hanabi Hyuga had short, unattractive hair and looked like a tomboy. She stared at Naruto, blinked, and then turned back, looking confused.

After waiting for a while, Hinata finally came out.

Habitually glancing around to make sure no one was watching, he then jogged towards Naruto. The scene was so beautiful that Naruto shamefully swallowed.

"Why are you here?" She brushed a strand of hair from her forehead and casually tucked it behind her ear.

"I have no money left."

"Huh?" Hinata was stunned.

Naruto blinked innocently. He gave all the money to Tsunade as initial funding for the Communicator Project. Tsunade allocated him one percent of the profits, which she took from her two percent share.

He forgot to leave some money for himself when he paid out; he's used to being a big spender, and it wasn't until a few days later that he realized. Oh no, he's out of money!

Naruto is now in a state of financial ruin overnight.

Waiting for dividends? How many years would it take to build that thing, and how many years to break even? Helpless, he dared not approach Ino, lest he be discovered.

Tsunade is rich, but he doesn't dare to provoke Tsunade, fearing she'll devour him alive.

He had money Tenten, but he needed to pay back the money he owed the young heiress. He didn't want to do the mission for the time being; dragging it out too long wasn't a good idea either.

He thought of Hinata and reluctantly went to her house to live off her.

"You're out of money?" Hinata pulled out a wallet, smiling. "I left in a hurry and only took a little bit with me. You can use this for now."

"Good."

Naruto reluctantly accepted, since his house was rented and he'd starve if he didn't pay. But after feeling the thickness of the money, he realized it wasn't a small amount.

The two walked along the path towards Konohagakure Street. Hinata hadn't gone far when her hand landed in his. She was used to it and didn't struggle even during the day.

There was hardly anyone on the path. Hinata was wondering why Naruto hadn't made a sound when she turned around and was suddenly kissed. Her pupils dilated slightly.

The golden Nikko couldn't pierce the lush canopy of the trees; only a few scattered golden specks managed to fall to the ground, where little white shoes tiptoed.

A gentle breeze blows, and the scenery becomes tender.

Let me give a shout-out to my own book.

The college entrance exams ended in the sweltering summer heat, Xu Zhou held an ice pop in one hand and opened a game in the other. (Nurturing a Childhood Sweetheart?)

[Xu Qianqian studies for one hour, rewarding the host with the same amount of learning experience x2h]

[Xu Qianqian earned 80 yuan from her part-time job, rewarding the host with 160 yuan]

By Check-in Senior Resource Pack, Xu Zhou picked up some strange attributes from the aloof senior student, making him even more confused.

Ah... does this game have some strange misunderstanding about cloud-based nurturing? Xu Zhou looked at Xu Qianqian's innocent face and fell into deep thought. The Bright Spring Days.

The young woman shielded herself from the wind with her hands, standing under the peach Kishita, and smoothed down her skirt. Upon seeing her beloved, her demeanor changed drastically, and she gritted her teeth in hatred.

"Xu Zhou, have you no shame?!"
