People are in Konoha, this Naruto lies flat

Chapter 173
All lights were gone, and on this New Year's Eve night, Naruto remembered that he had seen the clock on the wall before the power outage, and it was about eleven o'clock.

It is obviously unrealistic to wait for a call. If the heavy snow crushes the equipment outside, it will have to wait until tomorrow.It was pitch black before him, and he suddenly remembered that there were candles in the drawer.

So I got up, and with a crash, I didn't know what I knocked over.

"That." Ino suddenly became nervous, and could hear a slight trill in her voice.

"Hmm." He turned his head to look in the direction of the sofa, and subconsciously replied, "What's wrong?"

The living room was very dark, and after the eyes got used to the darkness, they could only see a vague outline.The image before the power outage was still in his mind, so Naruto could easily locate Ino.

He thought to himself that a ninja should not be afraid of the dark, or it might be due to other factors, and he was not used to a power outage for a while.

"It's okay, I am." Ino said, his voice became weaker and weaker.

"Are you afraid of the dark?"

"Don't be afraid, the power went out suddenly, and I feel a little uncomfortable."

"That's good, I'll get the candles, you sit here and don't move." Naruto warned.

"Okay." Ino really sat there, looking at the darkness covering the living room and fell silent.There was a rustling sound next to my ears, followed by the sound of the cabinet being pulled open.

A few minutes later, seeing Naruto was still groping in the dark, Ino couldn't help getting up and asking.

"Can't find it?"

"It should be in a few closets around here, but I haven't found it yet." Naruto's distressed voice came, "Wait a little longer."

"Let me help you find it together. Sitting here is pretty boring." Ino said, already walking towards the cabinet in the dark. "

"Alright." Naruto replied.

"Is it right here?"
Ino squatted down and began to pull the cabinet and asked, groping in the cabinet little by little.The feeling in the dark state is a bit strange, weakening the vision makes the other four senses more sensitive.

"It should be." Naruto's voice sounded in her ear.

"Is that so?" Ino's voice trembled, and he pulled out his hand again and began to grope on the table above the cabinet, and suddenly felt an arm again.

Then the backhand was held, her body trembled suddenly, and a sound came out of her mouth.

"What's wrong?" Naruto said nonchalantly, as if nothing had happened.

His other hand seemed to be continuing to grope for candles in the dark. Ino could hear the sound of clattering things being shuffled, but also felt the familiar warmth of that palm.

An electric current flowed from the palm of the hand to the heart, and a tingling sensation flooded into the brain. Almost instantly, Ino felt that she was almost unable to stand still.His body was so limp, as if he had drunk alcohol.

When a person is nervous, a faint bitterness gathers in the throat and tip of the tongue, and there is no strength to speak.

Ino wanted to say no, but his heart beat violently.

It was pitch black in front of his eyes, and his vision was completely lost. In his ears, there was the sound of Naruto rummaging around the counter.After that, he was held like this, and he didn't speak.

But Ino didn't dare to move, and let his palms be kneaded and played with by him.

"Did you find it?" Her voice was trembling, and mist appeared in her eyes, so she had to close them.

"No." Naruto had already touched the candle, and then put it aside, "Maybe I misremembered, maybe it was placed in the cabinet on the balcony."

With that said, he stood up and pulled Ino up along the way.Obviously already playing with it, but still pretending nothing happened, said very naturally.

"Let's go over there and look for it, maybe we can find it."

"Okay." Ino stood up supporting his body, started to move his feet, and let Naruto lead him forward in the dark environment.

Kyuubi leaned on the sofa with a puzzled face. Relying on its excellent night vision, it glanced at the two holding hands in the dark, and then at the candles on the counter.

I can't help but start to whisper in my heart, the stupidity of human beings is far beyond its imagination.

It pondered for a while, should it hold the candle in its mouth?But after thinking about it, isn't this really a dog, and decisively gave up this idea.

So Kyuubi leaned on the sofa, tilted the dog Jio, stared at the two stupid humans with a sneer, and prepared to watch a good show.

Naruto had already led Ino and slowly moved to the small cabinet in front of the French window on the balcony. Ino's hands were a little cold, and there was a callus on the tiger's mouth.

It was made by holding the shuriken and kunai, but the rest of the palm was soft.The hands are cold, Naruto thought to himself, it can only be passed by his own heat.

He suddenly realized that Ino hadn't said anything until now, it was really easy to deceive.In line with the principle of not taking advantage of what is cheap, he continued to pretend to be looking for candles.

He knew best whether there were candles in this place, and he just took the opportunity to touch his hands for a while.

After touching it for a while, Naruto felt something was wrong, Ino was too silent.I paused in my heart, secretly thought it was bad, could it be that I was really angry?

"Do you want to open the curtains? If it snows, the light outside will be brighter than the living room." He turned around and asked, the other hand had already pinched one end of the curtains.

Ino finally had a reaction, shook him lightly, and said tremblingly with a hint of begging.

"no, do not want."

But it was already too late, the curtains were pulled open with a clang, and the light reflected from the snowy night instantly increased the visibility of the entire living room by a few points.Following this faint light, he saw Ino's state at the moment.

Tears rolled in the eyes, her delicate and fair face was hot and red, her lips were slightly puckered, and she exhaled white air unconsciously.

Seeing this, Naruto was slightly stunned, and covered her forehead with his other hand.

"Aren't you sick?"

"Hmm." Ino suddenly closed his eyes tightly.

What a shame!That look was seen!I want to die!Thinking of this, she couldn't speak at all.

Reflected by the snow, the incoming light gathers from the balcony through the glass floor-to-ceiling windows.The two stood together holding hands, one left and one right.

The skylight was used as the curtain, and the silhouettes of the two leaned on the sofa and stretched infinitely, beyond the Kyuubi watching the play.Leaning together on the empty white wall again, like a couple in love.

The hand covering her forehead did not let go immediately, and the flow of time seemed to slow down at this moment.The snowflakes fell outside the balcony, but it seemed to fall on the shoulders of the two of them.

Ino slowly opened his eyes, and saw the strange emotion overflowing from his pair of blue eyes.That is an emotion that only she can understand, it is the light in love.

With a heavy gasp, time began to flow again.

Naruto withdrew his palm covering her forehead, coughed and returned to normal, he said to Ino with a smile.

"I seem to see where the candle is."

"Okay." Ino withdrew his hand abruptly, and lowered his head a little guilty.

Then in the dim light, Naruto walked to the original cabinet with ease, picked up a candle, and lit it with a lighter.Bright yellow candles lit up, illuminating a corner.

He carefully held the candle at an angle, burned a little wax oil, and then dripped on the table in the living room.After pausing for a second, press the candle on top of the wax.

Ino also sat down, and sat down on the sofa closest to the candlelight, his face has returned to calm.

Kyuubi didn't move from the nest the whole time, looked at the two of them contemptuously, picked up the wine bottle with his paws, and drank the remaining few mouthfuls of wine in one gulp.

Stupid humans, it thought.

After Naruto lit the candle, he got up again and lit another candle, got up and carried it into the kitchen, and said as he walked.

"Wait a minute, there should be boiling water in the kitchen, I'll make you a cup of cocoa."

"Yeah." Ino's mood hadn't completely calmed down yet, and the aftertaste was still going on one after another. He didn't hear what Naruto said clearly, but just responded to the situation.

It wasn't until Naruto brought two cups of steaming cocoa that she subconsciously said thank you.

"You don't like cocoa, don't you?" Ino held a cup full of hot cocoa, his hands gradually warmed up.

"I don't like to drink. It's sweet and greasy. I'd rather drink water than this kind of thing." Naruto said, "Normally only girls like you like it, adding sugar and so on."

"Then you still drink?"

Naruto smiled, sat down at the seat opposite her, took a sip of cocoa and said.

"I just want to know the taste of what you like to drink. If I drink your cup directly, I may be killed by you, so I can only settle for the next best thing."

"It's too exaggerated! I'm so..." Ino paused as he said, and then frowned.

This man talks one way and another. If she said she didn't mind, he would definitely drink the same cup with her directly.If he said he minded, this person might say something strange again.

So Ino got up silently, and moved away from Naruto automatically.

Naruto:"."

The power went out, and the temperature in the living room naturally cooled down.Ino, who was just wrapped in a bathrobe, couldn't help shaking, and Naruto also realized the coldness.

He got up and said to Ino.

"Go to sleep in my room."

"Huh? Why?"

"The quilt in the guest room is very thin. Now there is a power outage and there is no heating. You will catch a cold if you sleep there." Naruto patiently explained, "The quilt in my room is thicker, so..."

Originally thought that Ino would refuse in a righteous and stern manner, but it would not be surprising if this was the case.After all, he is very self-aware, and in Ino's mind, he probably ranks among the top three on the list of the most dangerous things.

It has probably been labeled as the kind of person who absolutely cannot rest assured, a similar label.

Surprisingly, Ino did not refuse, but asked after a moment of silence.

"Then where do you sleep?"

"Huh?" This was a question he hadn't thought about. Of course, he thought that it would be great if they could hug each other and sleep together, but he still couldn't say such words.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he frowned and said.

"There is a very thick blanket in the Spitz's room, so I can only feel wronged."

　I will find time to write a side story tomorrow.
