Sakura stood there, deep in thought. She was actually sowhat tempted by the idea.
The dical division’s workload was too overwhelming. Since Tsunade had left and Shizune had followed, Sakura had been working nonstop, day and night.
If this continued, she’d burn out sooner or later.
If Hanabi really agreed, it would lighten her load significantly. The Hyuga Clan’s mbers are good at Chakra Control, which aligned well with dical Ninjutsu.
Konoha was currently short on dical-nin, and exceptional ones were even rarer.
After all, the path of a dical-nin was far more arduous and ntally taxing than that of a regular Shinobi.
Besides hard work and dedication, intelligence and talent were also very important factors. If Hanabi agrees to join the ranks of dical-nin, Sakura would be more than willing to teach her.
"Then I’ll give it a try. Can I ntion your na?" Sakura asked.
"Why bring into it?"
“Aren’t you close with Hanabi? With your relationship with Hinata, she might agree faster." She explained, watching him finish his breakfast.
"Uh, whatever, but I suggest you not to." Naruto shook his head, "Hanabi probably knows about the situation by now. ntioning my na might just complicate things."
"Really?" Sakura smiled, "What if she finds out about our relationship? Wouldn’t that make things even ssier?"
"Are you scared?" Naruto looked at Sakura in surprise, "Shouldn't you be more excited?"
Sakura smiled noncommittally, pursed her lips and said nothing more.
The matter of recruiting Hanabi was settled hastily. As Sakura bent down to clean up the breakfast bags, preparing to leave, Naruto suddenly reached out and pulled her closer.
"I'm going to be late for work!"
“No one’s going to monitor whether you’re late or not. After all, you are the head of the dical division, so it doesn't matter if you are a little late." He said nonchalantly.
"It's all your fault!" Sakura cleaned up the trash on the table, but she wasn’t really upset. Her face was flushed.
"Heh." Naruto didn't refute.
“I’m leaving. I’m already late." Sakura said and left in a hurry.
Naruto didn’t mind. Since it was broad daylight, he didn’t want to risk being seen, so he turned back to the office to catch so more sleep. After all, there was nothing else to do now.
‘It was all that damned Uchiha Obito's fault.’
Now that the heads of both families had t, it was the worst possible scenario. He’d rather have a frank, no-holds-barred discussion with Hinata and Ino behind closed doors than have things spiral out of control like this.
Before this, he had a plan to maintain his relationships with both won. Given so ti, he could have resolved everything perfectly s.
But fate had other plans. This unexpected turn of events was his own fault. Naruto knew that greed ca with consequences, but he had no intention of changing.
Originally, he had planned to stay in the village for a while, spend ti with Hinata and Ino, and then leave for Iwagakure.
But now that sothing like this has happened, he doesn't know whether to leave or stay.
So, as the saying goes, it’s better to stay still than to act.
There was no denying that Naruto was a scumbag, and he was well aware of it. He is also worried that his abilities might not match his ambitions, so while he enjoyed lazing around, he also got so serious work done.
He could treat others with a carefree attitude, but he could never do the sa to Hinata and Ino.
Both Hinata and Ino were wonderful in their own ways. Hinata was gentle and devoted, and her eyes are always filled with love for him. Ino was independent and kind, and her affection is as enduring as a sumr day.
He had originally thought about separating them, taking either Ino or Hinata away with him. But later, by so strange coincidence, the two won seed to have reconciled and even grown closer.
This gave Naruto a glimpse of another possibility, and he quickly abandoned his earlier plan, testing whether the two won could gradually accept each other.
But this sudden incident had shattered that possibility. It seed like things had co full circle, returning to square one.
Naruto lay on the sofa, placed his hands on his stomach, stared at the ceiling and thought for a while. Suddenly, he took out two communicators and called the two girls at the sa ti.
Beep, beep, beep…
The sound of unanswered calls echoed in the room. This didn’t surprise him, but he couldn’t help sighing.
“I hope so kind soul descends from the heavens to save ."
anwhile, Sasuke Uchiha was still on his way, moving at top speed toward Konoha.
…
"Brothers are ant to be used!" Choji shook his chubby cheeks and waved his hands resolutely, saying, "That's what he told at the ti, and then he asked to pay for the al."
“Naruto’s morals are truly bottomless. It’s despicable." Kiba couldn't help but complain.
In the Hokage Tower, in Shikamaru’s spacious office, not only Choji and Kiba were there, but even Neji and Shino, who happened to be free, had also joined.
The group sat scattered around the room. Shikamaru was making tea skillfully and serving it to his friends. Hearing Kiba's complaints, he couldn't help but chid in.
"Naruto has always been like that. I'm used to it."
"But isn’t this situation a bit too much? I usually don’t get involved in his sses." Shikamaru cleared his throat and couldn't help but look at Neji.
Among those present, Neji was likely the only one who knew more about the deeper details.
"It seems that Ino has been taken back to the clan by Uncle Inoichi. I didn’t dare go and ask." Choji shook his head and said with so fear.
"I-I'm not sure either. Hiashi-sama doesn’t seem too happy." Neji said, "But he hasn’t lost his temper. Hinata should still be at ho for now."
“What exactly happened?" Shino asked, feeling a little confused, "Although I roughly know what it is about, but..."
"It's like this…" Choji squinted his small eyes and explained the whole situation.
After hearing this, Shino fell silent.
"Naruto, he…"
“Hey, we’re here discussing his ss, but where is Naruto?" Kiba suddenly asked.
"Who knows? Probably hiding." Shikamaru shrugged, "But you guys are even stranger. Why did you co to when sothing like this happens?"
"Well…" Choji scratched his head, "Out of all of us, you’re the smartest. I wanted to hear your thoughts and then pass them on to Naruto."
"I’m just here to watch the fun. That bastard Naruto really deserves to die!" Kiba raised his hand.
"I heard sothing happened to Hinata and thought there was an ergency." Shino said, "I was forcibly dragged here by Kiba."
Everyone looked at Neji, who was a little embarrassed and coughed.
"I want to help Naruto, and I hope that things can be resolved peacefully. If things escalate, it’ll be a loss for both the village and our friendship."
Hearing this, Kiba seed to have thought of sothing. He looked up and asked, "By the way, there are only four girls in our four teams. How many of them has Naruto ssed with?"
