[Naruto] The little animals are also full of energy today.

Although Mingshi said it lightly, after several mornings of training with two children with whom they had a delicate relationship, she felt that enough was enough...

She clapped her hands and called the two people over.

"I have a special balance training, hey, forget it, you definitely can't do it now."

"How could it be! I am willing to do any difficult training." Naruto blurted out immediately.

Although Sasuke said nothing, his eyes showed eagerness to try and a sense of unwillingness to admit defeat.

"Well, in that case, you must persist in this exercise to the end and cannot quit midway."

The children's heads nodded like chickens trying to peck at rice.

So Narumi found a piece of paper about one meter long and wide, and asked Naruto and Sasuke to stand on it. If they left the paper, the training would be considered a failure.

At first, the two of them laughed at the simplicity of this training.

Then little by little, the size of the paper became smaller and smaller, and the distance between the two people became closer and closer, until finally, not even one person could stand on the paper. The two people were half-hugging and half-supporting, leaving only a few toes standing on the paper.

"Naruto, don't waver!"

"It's because you shook me that I followed!!!"

The two children, who had not spoken to each other before, started quarreling again.

Mingshi looked at it and nodded with satisfaction.

Well, if there's any problem, just give me a hug.

The two quarreling boys reconciled, but the quarrel on the girl's side was far from over.

Naomi resumed school in the morning and practiced in the afternoon, and was busy with various other things, so she only learned about the progress of the quarrel from Nana.

But that day after she finished her internship, when she went out, she saw Sakura leaning against the wall next to the door of the Hokage's office.

"Mingshi, are you free?" The little girl burst into tears before she could finish her words.

Narumi took out a handkerchief and wiped her tears, "Well, let's go for a walk first." He led Sakura towards the village embankment.

After Ino failed to confess her love, everyone was comforting her. In addition, she had always been very popular among girls, but now that she and Sakura had broken up, Sakura had a vague feeling that everyone was siding with Ino.

Nana is fine, but Nana is a busy person in the school, so it is usually difficult to catch her.

After thinking about it, the person who made Sakura feel most at ease was Mingshi.

"I just can't stand Ino's face. When she failed to confess her love, many people blamed Sasuke for being too cold and heartless. Who said Sasuke must agree to her? I also like Sasuke. Anyway, Ino and I will no longer be friends. "

Sakura finished crying and complained with red eyes.

Mingshi sat with her on the river embankment, watching her rest her chin on her hands, and her face was smeared with the halo of the evening clouds.

After a while, when her emotions calmed down, Narumi asked Sakura, "I'm a little curious about this. Sakura, why did you become friends with Ino in the first place?"

"How can we be friends? Just be friends like that..." Sakura was puzzled, but she still thought about the first time she met Ino.

Unlike Ino, who has always been cheerful, Sakura was shy when she was young and didn't know how to respond when bullied.

It was Ino who taught her to express herself bravely when she was called a nickname she didn't like. Ino taught her the names and meanings of different flowers, and Ino became her first good friend.

After becoming friends, everyone worked together to complete the summer festival, went shopping on the weekends and shared their intimate conversations. They were so close.

Following Mingshi's question, she suddenly realized...that she had forgotten something important.

Sakura, who realized this, suddenly began to cry again, "Am I particularly despicable? When I found out that Ino's confession failed, I felt a little happy in my heart. But Ino was obviously very brave, and I didn't even have the courage to say what was in my heart. No, how can a despicable person like me deserve to be her friend."

Naomi gently stroked her back, helping her calm down her constant sobs.

"After being friends for a long time, you will always feel that it is natural for the other person to be by your side, but don't forget how attractive the other person's shining points are when you first become friends." Narumi raised his head and looked at Xiaguang, and the corners of his mouth were drawn. He gave a nostalgic smile, then turned his head and looked at Sakura's red and swollen eyes.

Those eyes are so beautiful, as if they have been rubbed into the beauty of cherry color. Although they are covered with stars, they are completely transparent.

She knew that Sakura had already figured it out.

Not long after Sakura left home, a shadow stood behind Narumi.

"Master Qian is waiting for you." Yantan said.

"Yeah." She looked at the river, not sure whether she was looking at her own reflection or the last rays of the setting sun cast on the water.

"Aren't you tired?" the person behind asked suddenly. After their first mission out of the village, the two became quite familiar with each other.

He saw Mingshi's busy daily schedule, but what he didn't understand was why he didn't take a break while having this time to solve childish problems between children.

She shook her head slightly, and the hair on her back swayed with her movements, and her slightly cheerful tone swayed in the air, "Don't be tired, protecting girls' friendship is as important as maintaining world peace."

Yantan's silence responded to her rare second words, Mingshi was not annoyed, and the two of them walked back together.

Haruno Sakura did something she never thought she would do in her life.

The moment the teacher left the classroom, she pulled out her chair and came to Sasuke majestically.

Her face was flushed, her voice was trembling, and her hands were clenching the hem of her skirt, but she shouted out those words without any hesitation, "Please date me, Sasuke-kun!!!"

Ino, who was sitting on the other side of the classroom, was stunned, as was everyone else in the classroom.

Sasuke, who was yelled at, didn't have much emotion. He said the same line he had used countless times as usual, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in this kind of playing house."

Then, his eyes returned to his book.

I don't know who in the class broke the silence first, "Go pee quickly."

Shikamaru slept as usual until he didn't know what year it was.

Naruto frowned and complained softly, "This Sakura has no sense."

Sakura stuck out her tongue, came to Ino, her eyes were evasive, and she seemed to say casually, "Oh, I was rejected, Ino, I..."

Before she could finish her words, Ino hugged her and tapped her back, "Idiot, Idiot has a broad forehead..." Tears fell into Sakura's collar.

Sakura was also crying and said, "Yes...I'm sorry, can I still be your...friend?"

Two clumsy little girls who were also rejected hugged each other and cried bitterly. At this moment, they were the people who understood each other the most in the world.

Nana clicked the shutter. Well, let’s write it into the school newspaper.

Of course, the fact that she was being chased by two people was another story.

"Here." The boy with pigtails seemed to be tired even if he said another word. He raised his chin and motioned for her to take the book.

Mingshi looked up from the stack of books.

"My mother asked me to tell you to take a rest first. How long has it been?"

Apart from the library, the Nara family probably has the most comprehensive collection of books in Konoha. Regarding Mingshi's request to check the information, Shikaku readily agreed, "It would be great if you could help me organize and classify it!"

At that time, Mingmi was moved by Shikaku-senpai's carefulness and asked her to sort it out, and even gave her enough time to check it out.

But when she looked at the piles of books and scrolls, it proved that she was overthinking.

She took the book from Shikamaru and followed him to the edge of the Nara's courtyard.

Shikamaru sat down cross-legged. There were two cups of tea and several snacks on the tray on the coffee table in front of him. Yoshino-sen asked Wan Dingzhu to let him greet Narumi, and he pushed the tray forward.

Naomi thanked him and sat down, opened the book, looked at the book and then at Shikamaru.

As usual, Shikamaru instantly understood the question she wanted to ask, "Didn't you mention it last time? You want to find 'rare and exotic beasts' with evidence of their existence."

Narumi then remembered that she had compiled many stories about this before, and Shikamaru had asked her about it, so she told him directly at that time.

"This book is said to be a book, but more like an observation journal. It was a Nara senior who recorded the rare and exotic beasts he saw with his own eyes when he was patrolling and observing the herds of deer."

Shikamaru crossed his hand across the coffee table, flipped through the diary and found exactly where he was looking for. He retracted his hand and pinched a snack and stuffed it into his mouth.

Mingshi glanced at it briefly, "Shennong White Deer?"

"Well, according to legend, it is an auspicious beast originating from another vast continent, and it is also the symbol of the Nara clan's patron saint." He paused and took a sip of tea. "It is more like a mythical beast spread among the clan, but it is true Some tribesmen have seen it with their own eyes.”

"Thank you so much, Shikamaru." Narumi rubbed the pages of the book with her hands, her eyes filled with sincere gratitude, looking at him with the fine summer breeze reflecting the floating clouds.

Shikamaru avoided her direct gaze by holding some snacks. He was so serious about what he was doing. It was embarrassing.

It was just a matter of effort. He remembered the content she was looking for "accidentally", found the content "accidentally", and thought of the relationship between the two "accidentally".

Shikaku shook "Konoha Morning News" in his hand in the living room and prepared to walk to the courtyard.

Yoshino caught him and said, "Don't make trouble, your son is trying hard to pick up little girls."

He sighed, sat back in his chair and opened the newspaper.
