There was a moment of silence, and Hinata's blush became brighter, spreading to the back of her ears and neck.
It was five o'clock when she found Naruto. Seeing that he was sleeping soundly, she wanted to let him sleep for a while longer, but she accidentally got the time wrong.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Hinata quickly apologized.
"Don't apologize." Naruto interrupted her apology and said with a smile: "Hinata is such a cute girl, I won't blame her."
"Ahh, Naruto-kun."
Hinata was startled by Naruto's words, her breathing suddenly stopped, her face turned red, and she looked like she would faint at any time, and she couldn't even pronounce her words clearly.
She was too shy, and Naruto stopped teasing her because he was afraid she would actually faint.
"Let's go there together and run," said Naruto.
"Yeah!" Hinata's eyes were still wandering, and she nodded and said, "Thank you, Naruto-kun."
"Thank me for what?" Naruto asked.
"No, nothing." Hinata clenched her fists and shook her head vigorously.
Naruto-kun, do you really think I'm cute?
Hinata's heart was pounding wildly. She didn't dare to ask this question out loud, and silently hid the joy of today's harvest in her heart.
The last time she was so happy was when she graduated and Naruto said he wanted to marry her.
Although she fainted at the time, Hinata remembered those words for a long time.
Looking forward to one day.
Suddenly a cool breeze blew, dispersing the heat. Everything on the earth seemed to have breathed a sigh of relief. The trees swayed gently, welcoming the arrival of evening.
Naruto felt much more comfortable while running. He suddenly called out to the girl beside him: "Hinata!"
Hinata responded, "Hey."
"Why don't you try changing into some cooler clothes," Naruto said.
"Change clothes?" Hinata was a little surprised.
She had pretty much always dressed this way since she was very young until now, and she didn't quite understand why Naruto suddenly wanted her to change.
Could it be.
Naruto-kun, do you want to see other costumes?
A girl's thoughts are always numerous and messy, but in the end they all involve emotions.
Hinata became more and more shy the more she thought about it, not knowing how to respond.
Naruto kindly reminded: "You always wear a cotton jacket, it must be very hot."
Hinata said "hmm" softly and said nothing more.
Naruto sighed. It didn't matter. If Hinata didn't feel hot then he wouldn't have anything to say. He just felt it would be a pity if such a nice girl became a fool due to the heat.

The location of the dinner was "Yakiniku Q" in the center of the village, a favorite of Konoha ninjas. From Hokage to Genin, they all frequented this store and business was exceptionally good.
Sometimes Naruto even doubted whether this was the private property of the Third Hokage. Otherwise, how could so many ninjas come to patronize it? It was really strange.
Hinata and I entered the private room 404 in the store and found that all the people from the three classes were already there.
Three jonin were sitting in a row. Kakashi was probably bored from the confinement, and he had his shoulders drooped, looking dejected. Next to him was the bearded Asuma, and behind him was the sexy Kurenai Yuhi.
The four boys from Class 10 and Class 8 stood in a row on the left. The aloof Erzhuzi disdained to associate with them and sat alone on the far right.
Sakura and Ino were sitting on either side of the door, separated from each other, and very rarely were they arguing.
"Hey, you're finally here." Shikamaru said, "I've been hungry, waiting for you guys."
Dingci shouted happily: "Barbecue, barbecue."
Aburame Shino, who had little presence, was quiet, while Inuzuka Kiba stared at Naruto with a raised corner of his mouth full of fighting spirit.
Ino, the blonde girl who hadn't been seen for a long time, was closest to the door. She turned and looked at Naruto, with some annoyance in her eyes for some reason. After a cold "humph", she took the initiative to make room for him.
When Naruto was about to sit down like this, Sakura suddenly stood up excitedly, pulled Naruto's arm, and pulled Naruto to sit next to her.
"Naruto, you are so lazy. You let me do the mission alone again today. Am I just a heartless mission machine in your eyes?"
Girl, don't tell me, you actually guessed it right.
Naruto didn't say anything, which was taken as his agreement. Hinata glanced at him and sat down next to Ino with a bit of disappointment.
But Ino was furious.
"Sakura, don't you like Sasuke the most and hate Naruto the most? Go over and sit with Sasuke."
Chapter 27 Evil Little Yellow Hair
In the brightly lit Japanese-style private room, the blonde girl Ino looked at her neighbor with clear eyes, and her pink thin lips moved as she spoke words that hinted at matchmaking.
"This is the friendship between girls. I'm so envious, Kakashi!"
The bearded Asuma Sarutobi who was sitting in the middle of the three jonin was secretly poking Kakashi under the table while talking.
She raised her eyebrows to hint to Kakashi that girls all knew how to fight for love opportunities for their friends, so you have to be more forceful in bringing me and Hong together today.
"I knew you wouldn't treat me to a barbecue for no reason."
Kakashi sighed with his dead eyes drooping, then raised his right hand to make an OK sign.
He had just been released from solitary confinement by the old man of the third generation, and now his son asked him to help.
Neither the father nor the son has good intentions. When can they go home and watch the paradise leisurely?
After getting Kakashi's reply, Asuma glanced at the mature and beautiful Yuhi Kurenai, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little excited, looking forward to Kakashi's matchmaking in a while.
Kakashi also took a look and shook his head helplessly, thinking: Asuma really found the right person. Although I have never been in a relationship, I have already learned all kinds of knowledge and theories in the paradise of intimacy.
He immediately turned his attention to Ino and Sakura. How to match people up? After all, he had no experience in this field, so he needed to learn more.
But it seems that Ino has matched the wrong person. It seems that Sakura likes Naruto.
Except for Naruto, Shikamaru and Choji who had already started barbecuing, and Sasuke who had been sitting there with a stern face pretending to be cool, almost everyone's eyes were on Ino.
Even Sakura, who was pulling at Naruto's clothes, stopped and turned to look at Ino, with a hint of disbelief in her eyes.
If Ino had said this to Sakura three months ago, she would have been very happy and would probably have taken the initiative to reconcile with Ino.
But Ino is saying this now, so the situation is very different.
"Ino, what are you talking about? I just have the affection for Sasuke that I have as friends."
Sakura first glanced at Naruto's expression with concern, then quickly explained and hurriedly pushed for the seat: "Ino, you always say you want to pursue Sasuke, right? Go sit with Sasuke, Naruto and I will make room for you."
After saying that, Sakura winked at Ino and thought to herself, Ino, you are so brave, I will definitely not compete with you this time.
However, Ino shook her head slightly: "No, no, no, I actually wanted to go against you more before, and I didn't really want to pursue Sasuke. Now I'll help you two. Don't worry about me. Go and sit with Sasuke."
Well, wild boar, please stop causing trouble.
Sakura had been paying attention to Naruto's expression. She was really afraid that Naruto would misunderstand Ino's "kindness".
"Ino, stop guessing. I really just treat Sasuke as a companion." Sakura winked frantically.
At this moment, Sasuke finally raised his eyebrows with a cold face. Although women didn't matter, Sasuke still felt inexplicably uncomfortable being pushed around by two people.
Just like the pear that was given away.
But these are not very important, what is really important is.
Sasuke stared at Naruto who was basting the barbecue with oil, with a sharp look in his eyes, and thought to himself: Naruto, I will definitely defeat you, and then kill that man.
"Don't be shy Sakura, I know you've always liked Sasuke."
As she spoke, Ino sat two spaces inward, stopped beside Naruto, and continued, "It just so happens that I have something private to ask Naruto right now, so why don't you go over and sit with Sasuke-kun."
Hinata lowered her head and looked at Ino and Naruto who were sitting next to each other, with a hint of envy in her eyes.
I really envy Ino's courage. I wish I had the courage to sit next to Naruto-kun.
"Ok?"
Sakura frowned. The sensitive mind of the girl made her realize that something was wrong with Ino in an instant: "If you have anything to say, just say it in front of everyone."
"No, this is a matter between Naruto and I." Ino shook her head and refused.
"What could possibly happen between you two?" Sakura asked in a bad tone.
The atmosphere was now a bit awkward. The two people, who had never gotten along well, seemed to be arguing again because of Naruto.
However, Naruto completely ignored the quarrel between the two girls beside him and stared at the barbecue. He had to watch it carefully and not let the big foodie Choji get ahead of him.
Naruto: "Sasuke, give me the long chopsticks so I can flip the meat. It's getting mushy."
Sasuke: "Here!"
Naruto: "Thank you."
At this moment, Ino grabbed Naruto's sleeve, and Naruto pressed the barbecue with chopsticks and looked at her.
"Naruto, come sit next to me." Ino patted the seat on the other side of her.
Looking at the way Ino is "flirting" with Naruto, Sakura has a feeling that her man is going to cheat on her again. Why does she say again?
Because the last time Naruto was hugged by that masked female chasing ninja from the Hidden Mist Village, right in front of her.
It is tolerable and unbearable.
Before Naruto could reply to Ino, Sakura said, "Naruto, switch seats with me. Don't be next to her."
Ino frowned and held Naruto's shoulder: "Don't pay attention to her, sit next to me, I really want to ask you something."
"Naruto change positions."
Sakura held Naruto's other shoulder, looked at Ino, and directly helped Naruto refuse: "You can tell me what you want to say, and I will convey it for you."
"Broad forehead, you want to cause trouble?"
"Well Boar, what's wrong with looking for trouble?"
