Naruto hodgepodge

In a lush green open space, the grass is green, as if nature has laid a soft green carpet, the terrain is flat and open. A clear stream runs happily through the grass, the sound of water is like the music of nature, adding some vitality and vigor to this quiet place. Behind the stream stands a steep hill, the hillside is full of wild flowers, colorful, like a palette of nature, the spring breeze blows gently, and the fragrance of flowers fills the whole world, making people feel relaxed and happy.

Yamanaka Ino, a little girl who loves nature and flowers, came to the mountain in the afternoon to collect some bright and beautiful wild flowers to take home. She shuttled among the flowers, carefully selecting each one, with a happy and satisfied smile on her face. The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves and sprinkled on her, as if she was covered with a golden halo.

Xiao Ino returned home with a bunch of colorful wild flowers in her arms, and was about to set off on her way home, her heart full of cherishment and love for beautiful things. However, the good times did not last long. Just as she was walking home happily, she unexpectedly met a few bad kids who were always making trouble. They looked arrogant, as if they were uninvited guests on this land, and they always took pleasure in bullying the weak.

"Hey, little yellow-haired girl, what good stuff are you holding in your arms? Take it out and show it to us!" One of the bad boys blinked his eyes and said with disdain.

Xiao Ino hugged the flower tightly in her arms, with a trace of uneasiness in her eyes, but she still gathered her courage and said softly: "This is the flower I picked with great effort, I can't give it to you."

As soon as she finished speaking, the bad boys rushed over and began to snatch the bouquet in her hand. In the process of scrambling, many beautiful flowers fell and scattered on the ground, losing their original vitality and color. Xiao Ino looked at the flowers that she had picked with great effort and were like treasures being wasted in this way. She was filled with helplessness and anger, and tears could not help but flow out of her eyes.

When the bad kids saw Ino's tears, they showed no apology and became even more proud. "Hmph, little yellow-haired girl, you didn't give us the flowers when I asked you for them. You really don't want to drink the wine!" They mocked Ino and surrounded her, even deliberately trampling on the scattered flowers with their feet, as if to show off their "victory".

Ino's heart was bleeding. She didn't understand why these guys were so mean to these innocent flowers. She bit her lips tightly, trying not to let more tears fall. She swore in her heart that she would pester her father to practice well after returning, and she would never let these bad boys succeed again. She would protect everything she loved, even if it was just a small wild flower.

After the flowers were ruthlessly trampled, Ino's cry was like that of a wounded young animal, attracting the attention of those bad boys. One of the bad boys, with a smug smile on his face, grabbed Ino's collar and said, "You disturbed me, apologize to me now." Ino's heart was filled with grievances, and tears fell like pearls from a broken string. At this critical moment, a figure suddenly rushed out like a messenger of justice, knocked away the hand that grabbed Ino's collar, and firmly stood in front of little Ino.

Naruto, who had just returned from the training ground, saw these bad boys bullying others and immediately rushed out without hesitation.

"You guys, why are you bullying others!" Naruto glared at the bad boys and shouted loudly.

When the bad boys saw Naruto, they were stunned at first, and then they immediately laughed. "Hey, isn't this a demon fox? What, you want to be a hero and save the beauty?" They mocked with disdain on their faces.

Naruto ignored their taunts and just stared at them closely, ready to protect the little Ino behind him. However, these bad boys were not so easy to deal with, and they immediately attacked Naruto.

A melee broke out. Although Naruto was young, he had a spirit of not admitting defeat. He struggled to resist the attacks of the bad boys. Although he had been hit several times, he still did not retreat and began to fight back with the cuckold punch.

Xiao Ino watched Naruto fight for her, and her heart was filled with gratitude. She also wanted to help, but she was just a girl and her strength was limited. So, she could only watch anxiously and cheer for Naruto.

After a fierce battle, Naruto finally beat the bad guys away with his tenacious perseverance. However, he also fell to the ground due to injuries, his face full of fatigue and scars.

Xiao Ino immediately rushed over and helped Naruto up. "Are you okay?" She asked with concern, her eyes full of worry.

Naruto shook his head and managed a smile, although there was still some fatigue on his face. "I'm fine, just a little hurt, but those bad guys were also in a bad situation, I didn't suffer any harm," he said casually, not wanting to make Ino too worried.

"Thank you," Xiao Ino said gratefully, with a tremor in her voice, "If it weren't for you, I would be miserable today. They always bully me, and I...I don't know what to do."

Naruto looked at and gently patted Ino's shoulder, comforting her: "Don't worry, with me here, they won't dare to bully you anymore."

"By the way, I don't know your name yet." Xiao Ino suddenly said. She felt that she should get to know the friend who had just helped her. Looking at his blond hair, she felt as if she had seen him before.

"My name is Uzumaki Naruto, what's yours?" Naruto responded with a smile. He was also curious about the little girl who bought his doll a few days ago, but he used makeup at that time.

"My name is Yamanaka Ino, nice to meet you." Little Ino blinked and said with a smile.

Seeing that Ino was still immersed in her previous sadness and looked down at the crushed flowers, Naruto had an idea in his mind. He remembered that there was a sea of ​​flowers not far away, where the flowers were blooming particularly brilliantly. Maybe he could take Ino there to make her feel better.

"Ino, I know a place with particularly beautiful flowers. How about I take you there to pick some flowers?" Naruto suggested.

Ino looked up, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. "Really? That's great, I really want to go!" She nodded quickly.

So Naruto took Ino to the sea of ​​flowers. The flowers here were indeed in full bloom, colorful and fragrant. As soon as Ino saw the sea of ​​flowers, she was immediately attracted. She excitedly shuttled between the flowers, picking all kinds of beautiful flowers.

Naruto was also very happy when he saw Ino's happy face. He knew that sometimes, a little bit of small things can make people forget their troubles and find happiness again.

After picking the flowers, Naruto took Ino back to the clearing. They arranged the flowers together, and then Naruto took Ino home.

On the way home, Ino was very happy and kept thanking Naruto. Naruto just smiled and shook his head, saying that it was just a trivial matter.

Finally, when Ino arrived at the door of her house, she thanked Naruto again and invited him to come visit her often. Naruto smiled and agreed, then started to go home.

Naruto dragged his tired body and walked back home step by step. Today's experience made him feel excited and a little tired. He cultivated chakra and met a new friend.

When he opened the door, he found that there seemed to be someone at home. At first, his heart skipped a beat, thinking that he had been robbed again. After all, this kind of thing happened just last night, although it didn't happen in the end.

However, when he cautiously walked into the living room, he found that the "thief" was actually Sakura. She was sitting on the sofa with a few ugly knitted dolls beside her.

"Sakura? Why are you here?" Naruto asked in surprise.

Sakura looked up and saw Naruto, and immediately showed a happy expression. "Boss, you are finally back? Do you know that I have been waiting for you for a whole day?"

"Sorry, Sakura. I had something to do today, so I left early and came back late." Naruto said with a smile, then walked to the sofa and sat down to start making toys and accessories.

Sakura's eyes lingered on the exquisite doll in Naruto's hand. The delicate weaving craftsmanship and vivid expressions all showed Naruto's dedication and talent. In comparison, the weaving in her own hand seemed so rough and the lines were so messy that she couldn't bear to look at it. Sakura sighed and said in frustration, "Naruto, look at what I made. It's so ugly that I'm embarrassed to continue."

Naruto turned around and saw Sakura's frustrated look, and quickly comforted her: "Don't say that, Sakura, you just started learning, it's not easy to weave like this. Besides, no one can do it well at the beginning. Practice a few more times, and you will definitely be able to weave better than me."

Sakura felt a warm feeling in her heart after hearing what Naruto said. She looked at Naruto gratefully, then took out the money she earned yesterday from her pocket and handed it to Naruto: "This is the money I earned yesterday. I bought some weaving materials. You can take the rest of the money first. This is our capital."

Naruto looked at the money Sakura handed over, and he was excited. This was his first pot of gold. Looking at the amount, Sakura was a really good employee. He took the money and said seriously, "It feels like more than I expected. Did you sell it at a high price?"

Sakura didn't want to mention the incident of the Uchiha smashing her stall yesterday. After all, that had been resolved successfully, and she didn't want to make Naruto worry. So, she explained stiffly: "I met a big customer yesterday. He really liked the handicraft I made, so he gave me some extra money as a reward."

Naruto keenly sensed that Sakura seemed to be hiding something, but he did not ask. He clenched the money in his hand and said seriously: "Anyway, this is a good start. We have to plan it well."

Naruto looked at Sakura staring at the money and seemed to be hesitant to speak, and continued: "You get 1 out of the 3000. When we make 100 million, we will give you 30. Don't worry, this goal is easily achievable." Naruto recalled that in his memory, people set a small goal of making million. His small goal was too weak, but he had to give Sakura some sweet treat. Prices were not high now, and was a sky-high price for a child.

Sakura also put away her previous frustration, with anticipation shining in her eyes: "Okay, Boss. I think we can try to make more kinds of handicrafts, not just limited to dolls and decorations."

Naruto nodded and agreed: "Good idea! But I have already thought about the future development. Follow me and work hard. You will definitely become the richest woman in the ninja world in the future."

Sakura's eyes sparkled, she nodded excitedly, and began to imagine the day when she would become rich. She seemed to have seen herself wearing gorgeous clothes, living in a spacious and bright house, with a lot of money in her hands, eating delicious food, and having a bunch of toys.

It took some time to make the handicraft, and the sun had already set, but Naruto had already made two or three days' worth.

"It's getting late. I should go back." Sakura said as she looked out the window at the gradually darkening sky.

"Wait, Sakura, you work so hard for our business, let me treat you to a meal." Naruto suggested with a smile.

Sakura was a little surprised, but then she smiled happily: "Okay, then I won't be shy."

Naruto used his superb cooking skills to prepare a sumptuous dinner for Sakura.

Bie Tianying was stunned when she saw Naruto's cooking skills. Naruto's superb knife skills when cutting vegetables were a visual feast, and the taste was also amazing. It was hard to associate this Naruto with the Naruto who kept clamoring to become Hokage.

The two of them ate and chatted happily, and the atmosphere was warm and pleasant.

After dinner, Naruto packed up the things he made and sent Sakura home. On the way, the two continued to discuss future plans, and Sakura was full of energy. Naruto was also very excited. Now the reserve fund was enough to rent a store, and someone helped him buy his daily necessities, so the business plan could start.

When Sakura and Naruto arrived at the door of their home, Sakura's parents were waiting for Sakura at the door. When they saw Naruto and Sakura walking side by side, a flash of surprise flashed in their eyes, but then they showed a friendly and warm smile.

"Oh, Sakura is finally back. Are you Sakura's friend?" Sakura's mother asked kindly, her eyes full of curiosity and kindness towards Naruto.

"Hello, Auntie, I'm Sakura's friend, my name is Uzumaki Naruto." Naruto replied with a smile, his voice full of warmth and sincerity.

"Naruto? What a nice name. Come, let's have dinner together." Sakura's mother invited enthusiastically.

Sakura's father, Haruno Zhaoya, came forward, took the package handed over by Naruto, patted Naruto on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Young man, come and have dinner together."

Naruto quickly shook his head and said with a smile: "Uncle and aunt, thank you for your kindness. I have already eaten. I had dinner with Sakura today and had a great chat. Now I will send Sakura off. I should go back now."

Sakura also quickly added: "Yes, Mom and Dad, Naruto and I have already eaten. Naruto's cooking skills are superb."

Naruto nodded to Sakura's parents to show his respect, then turned and left. Sakura watched Naruto's back slowly go away until he disappeared. She couldn't help but feel a little lost in her heart. Her parents, standing by, watched everything silently. When Naruto left completely, Sakura returned home with her parents. As soon as she entered the house, Sakura couldn't wait to share her experience and gains of the day with her parents. She excitedly told the story of the day, especially emphasizing the dolls she and Naruto made, as well as Naruto's superb cooking skills. Mom and Dad listened to Sakura's story quietly, occasionally interjecting a few words and asking some details. The family was happy.
