You Know Nothing About Pain

"The chef who made this pastry told me that their pastry is made with fine layers and even layers, the filling is soft and sandy, and the fruit flavor is pure and strong." Naruto described vividly: "It is best to eat it immediately after making it , After eating, the teeth and cheeks will be fragrant, and the mouth will be full of fluids. After a period of time, it will not taste good. It seems that the pastry master did not lie to me."

"Come, come!" Naruto greeted Hase Ryusheng on the side, blinked his eyes deliberately and said, "You come and try it, it's really good."

Hase Ryusheng also understood the hint in Naruto's eyes, so he also stepped forward to take a piece of pastry, chewed it in his mouth a few times, then nodded repeatedly and said, "It's really delicious."

Changgu Longsheng used to be the son of a prince's family, and he also ate a lot of good things. This pastry is not bad among those sold on the street, but it is definitely not comparable to the one made by the master chef specially invited by their family. However, in order to help Nine Tails, Hase Longsheng naturally spared no effort to praise him.

Seeing that everyone was eating so happily, Haruko couldn't help but swallow her saliva. Children can't bear this kind of temptation the most. In addition, everyone around them is eating, which also invisibly relieved Haruko's scruples.

"Eat it quickly." Naruto smiled and said to Haruko, "If you don't eat it, you'll be gone. Just eat a piece. You won't be afraid."

Hearing Naruto's instigation, Haruko hesitated and said, "Then I... have a piece?"

"Eat, let's eat." Naruto directly picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into Haruko's hand, saying, "It's delicious, try it."

Haruko carefully stuffed a piece of pastry into her mouth, then her eyes widened suddenly, and she unconsciously speeded up her chewing.

Sweetness is the first and most primitive food experience for human beings, and it is the simplest and most direct enjoyment that can make human beings feel happy.

Haruko didn't understand until today what the meaning of the word "pastry" really is.

A piece of pastry was finished very quickly, Haruko immersed herself in the deliciousness of the pastry, and unconsciously stretched out her hand to the next piece of pastry.

Naruto and Hase Ryusheng looked at each other with a smile, and they didn't continue to eat, but Kyuubi had a serious face and counted with Haruko, saying that each person is half, no one should have too much, and no one should have less.

When it was getting dark, Jing Yilang came back from working in the farmland with a hoe and a muddy body, and Granny Kazumi just happened to have dinner ready.

Dinner was rice and pickled vegetables, and Granny Hemi steamed a large pot of rice, most of which was in the container in front of Kyuubi that was several circles larger than the others and could be called a serving bowl, plus Naruto and Nagao The meal in front of Gu Longsheng is estimated to be only one-tenth of the meal eaten by the Jing Yilang family.

After two mouthfuls of food, Naruto saw that the time was almost up, put down his chopsticks and said, "Uncle Ichiro, we've seen everything we should see in Bird Country, and it's time to say goodbye."

"Leaving now?" Jing Yilang immediately put down the bowl when he heard this, and said anxiously, "Do you want to stay for a few more days?"

Naruto said with a smile, "I've been here for several days, any longer will disturb your normal life."

"No, no, don't bother, don't bother." Jing Yilang waved his hands quickly and said, "Let's stay for a few more days."

Jing Yilang wanted Naruto to stay for a few more days, mainly because he had eaten less than half of the rice that Naruto gave him before, so he hoped that Naruto would stay for a few more days so that he could eat the rice.

"I really can't live anymore, we will leave early tomorrow morning." Naruto shook his head firmly and said, "We also have our own plans, so we can't delay the schedule."

"That's it." As soon as Jing Yilang heard Naruto say that, he stopped trying to dissuade him, but said with some annoyance: "If I knew you were leaving tomorrow, I would go to the city and exchange some meat, vegetables, etc. Yes, at least let you have a good meal before you leave."

"The food is pretty good now." Naruto waved his hands with a smile, paused, and then said: "About staying here for several days, eating and living here, and the housing expenses... .”

However, before Naruto could finish speaking, Jing Yilang interrupted directly.

"How can there be any real estate, Naruto-kun, I will be angry if you do this." Jing Yilang said anxiously: "Why eat ours and live in ours, we eat yours, isn't this rice all for you, Naruto?" Sent."

Naruto saw that Ichiro was really in a hurry, so he didn't say anything more, smiled and stopped talking about the house payment.

Seeing that Naruto didn't mention the house price, Jing Yilang also breathed a sigh of relief, sat down and said, "Naruto, if you really want to do something, then remember to come and visit us next time you pass by."

When Naruto heard Jing Ichiro's words, he raised a smile on his face and said, "Okay, that's it, I will definitely visit you again before I go back to my hometown!"

Early the next morning, Naruto packed his bags, and Jingichiro's family saw the three of them off at the door.

Jing Ichiro held Naruto's hand, and kept telling him that he must visit their house again if he had the opportunity in the future. Ryuu Hase stood behind Naruto and did not speak, while Kyuubi was beside Haruko, muttering I don't know what to say.

"You don't need to send it off." Naruto said with a smile: "The three of us travel faster, so we can just send it here."

Granny Kazumi held a small basket in her hand, handed it to Naruto and said with some embarrassment: "Grandma, I don't have anything for you. There are rice balls and a jar of pickled vegetables that I pickled myself. You can take them on the road. Let's eat."

Naruto looked at the snow-white rice balls and pickles in the basket, the rice balls were made very solid, as if Granny Hemi was afraid that they would not be full, each rice ball was twice the size of ordinary rice balls.

Since leaving the village, Naruto has eaten a lot of good things, and he has participated in more than one dinner party for the big shots. It stands to reason that he no longer looks down on this kind of ordinary rice balls.

But it is such an ordinary thing, but it can most arouse Naruto's heartstrings.

Perhaps thinking of something, Naruto solemnly put away the rice balls and pickles in his hands, nodded vigorously and said: "This is one of the best things I have received, and I will enjoy it."

Kyuubi and Haruko on the side didn't know what to say, Haruko suddenly burst into tears, that kind of heart-piercing crying, no matter how Kyuubi made faces, she couldn't stop.

However, there is no banquet in the world that never ends.

No amount of tears could stop the parting footsteps. Naruto patted Haruko's head, waved to Ichiro's family, left a bright smile, and turned to leave.

Haruko looked at the backs of the three of them leaving, and cried, "Brother Jiu, you must remember to come back, we agreed to catch little rabbits together!"

The three continued to move forward. Maybe it was because Jing Yilang's family was very gentle, or maybe it was because Haruko cried too sadly when they parted. This time the parting of the three people was not as easy as before, and their steps on the road seemed a bit heavy. .

After walking for a while, Nine Tails who had been silent all this time suddenly said, "Little ghost... You said we... When will you come back next time?"

"I just left, so you're thinking about coming back?" Naruto smiled and said, "It shouldn't be long, we've already visited the map for more than half of it, and if there are no accidents, it will take half a year at most."

"Half a year." Kyuubi put his hands behind his head, looked up at the sky and said, "Suddenly it feels like half a year is actually quite a long time."

When Naruto heard Kyuubi's words, he showed a somewhat relieved smile and said, "It's okay, for you, half a year can only be regarded as a nap?"

"Hmm... I used to think that half a year is nothing, but now I suddenly feel that half a year is quite a long time." Kyuubi said with a little confusion: "Speaking of which, I don't know if Haruko will marry after half a year."

Hearing Kyuubi's words, Naruto suddenly showed a strange expression on his face, looked at Kyuubi with strange eyes and said: "Ku Lama, I said you...could it be..."

"Could it be something?" Kyuubi turned his head to look at Naruto with some doubts and said, "What's wrong?"

"...It's nothing, I just want to say that you think too much, Haruko is only old now, it's too early to get married, at least I have to wait another two or three years." Naruto swallowed what he wanted to say Stomach, looked at Jiuwei with a smile and said: "If you really want Haruko, remember to leave a copy of any delicious food you encounter on the road in the future. It would not be good to give it to others when you come again."

"Good idea!" Upon hearing Naruto's words, Kyuubi's eyes lit up and said, "That little thing, Haruko, has never seen anything before, so she must be scared to death by then!"

Maybe it was thinking of the scene when I saw Haruko again later, and thinking of the other party's startled look when he saw so many delicious food, Kyuubi's footsteps suddenly became brisk, and he took the lead in walking on the strongest side, Urging Naruto and Hase Ryusheng to hurry up.

Chang Gu Longsheng glanced at Kyuubi with the eyes of looking at garbage, and then said to Naruto beside him, "Where is the next stop?"

"Let me take a look." Naruto spread out the map, carefully made a distinctive mark on the country of birds, and then said with a big hand:

"Next stop, Land of Earth!" Kakashi brought Neiji, Xiaoli, and Tiantian with extraordinary footwork, and finally returned to Konoha before dark.

"Well--"

Looking at Konoha Ninja Village, which was close at hand, Kakashi let out a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "I'm finally back."

Behind Kakashi was Tenten who was exhausted and looked like a dead dog, Neji who was slightly panting, and Xiao Li who was still energetic and full of energy.

This time Kakashi can be said to be at full power, rushing non-stop along the way, not even giving time to drink saliva, Tian Tian, ​​who is the weakest of the three, almost couldn't catch up, even Neji felt a little tired, only Xiao Li, who trains crazily every day and doesn't take physical strength seriously, can keep up with Kakashi's rhythm.

"Mr. Kakashi, why are you in such a hurry." Tian Tian said while panting while supporting his knees, "It doesn't matter if you come back later."

"That can't be done." Kakashi shook his head firmly and said, "The ten sets of limited-edition Intimacy Paradise that I ordered before should arrive at the bookstore today. I have to hurry to get them home and enjoy them."

"Ah? That's it?" Tiantian helplessly supported his forehead and said, "I thought Mr. Kakashi had something important to do."

"Isn't this important? Apart from the task, there is nothing more important than this." Kakashi said in a serious tone: "Okay, since we are back, let's part here, the task handover I'll tell you, and you don't have to worry about it."

After finishing speaking, Kakashi made a gesture to the three of Neji, and then disappeared into a cloud of white mist with a bang.

The remaining Neji and the other three looked at each other at the gate of Konoha, and they all used the blinking technique. It seems that Mr. Kakashi is really anxious.

Ning Ci waved to Xiao Li and Tiantian and said, "In that case, I'll go first too."

"Are you going back now?" Tian Tian looked at Ning Ci in surprise and said, "Why don't we go have a meal together?"

The reason why Tian Tian was surprised was because the three of them would usually have a meal together before parting after returning from a long trip to perform a mission.

"Well...forget it this time." Ning Ci pondered for a while and said, "I'm not in the mood to eat right now, sorry."

For Neji, his mind is now full of what Naruto said to him before, as well as thinking about where Hyuga will go after the separation.

If Naruto develops a method to release the curse seal of the caged bird in the future, then how to deal with the relationship between Hinata branch family and Konoha, when faced with Konoha's high-intensity frontal oppression, should he go straight to the top or choose to be soft , or to mediate, each of which has infinite calculations, and every decision is related to the fate of thousands of Hyuga family members.

Neji still doesn't know exactly what to do, but he is sure of one thing, that is, he must not wait for things to come to an end before worrying, and he must first inoculate the people who are separated from Hinata.

Whether or not Konoha's guillotine will fall down at that time is another matter, but first of all, you must have a certain ability to resist, otherwise it will really be a man-made knife, and I will be a fish.

Neji couldn't help but get a headache when he thought of integrating the Hyuga branch family members and vaccinating them. This was another troublesome matter.

There are too many people in the Hyuga branch, and the large number of people is both an advantage and sometimes a disadvantage.

It is true that there are many people and great power, but there are many people and there are mixed opinions. If they cannot agree on their opinions, the enemy will probably destroy themselves before they make a move.

There are so many people in the Hyuga clan, since there are those who hate the Hyuga clan deeply, there are naturally those who lick the dog of the Hyuga clan. Of course, the most people are those who have experienced so many years of oppression and have resigned to their fate.

Ning Ci can guarantee that if he really tells all the people in the Hyuga branch of the matter in detail, he will guarantee that there will be a dog licking to inform the Hyuga branch that night.

So Ningji decided that he would never reveal a word about the curse seal of the caged bird to other members of the Hyuga branch when it was not necessary, otherwise it would be fine if he himself was held accountable after being exposed. It would be a huge sin to also eat and hang up.

The first element at this stage is to first distinguish between the Hyuga branch family, who is a real partner with blood, and who is a coward who is content with the status quo.

Thinking of the group of guys from the Hyuga branch whose mud can't support the wall, all kinds of people have intricate relationships with each other, like a mess of wool.

Neji couldn't help feeling a splitting headache, and also felt what level of problems Naruto had been thinking about all this time.

Neji had never considered this kind of problem before. His heart was always filled with the hatred of his father and the injustice he suffered. The way he expressed his dissatisfaction and resistance was also very simple.

Don't you Hyuga Sect think that you are excellent? Don't you hold the secret of the soft fist method and the white eyes tightly in your arms, and you are afraid of being looked at by others.

Well, then I will rely on myself, rely on my own talent, and rely on my own efforts to surpass your so-called clansmen and prove to your clansman that our split clan can be better than you.

Originally, Neji thought that his goal was already very difficult and complicated, but when he really tried to consider the issues Naruto considered, he realized how simple what he thought was difficult before.

Now Ning Ci feels like a mountain climber. When he reached the top of the mountain after a arduous climb and was complacent, he suddenly discovered that someone had already reached the top of the mountain and was moving towards the next higher one. More steep mountains to climb.

He used to think that although Naruto was very kind and good at talking, he seemed to be able to chat with anyone, but he seldom talked about himself, and often echoed what others said, as if deliberately echoing what others said .

Now he understands that Naruto doesn't like to go along with them, it's just because Naruto himself knows that if he really discusses the issues he is thinking about, nine out of ten people will be confused, and the rest The next estimate is that even Naruto couldn't understand what Naruto said.

Naruto is like a sharp sword, carefully hiding his brilliance in front of them, not because he is afraid of being discovered by others, but because he is afraid of stabbing the people around him if he is not careful.

Thinking of this, Ning Ci couldn't help but sigh.

Naruto, how many things like this are still hidden in your heart? It must have been very hard for such a long time...

Thinking about it, Neji suddenly realized that he had unknowingly walked to the gate of the Hyuga family, the residence of the Hyuga clan.

Thinking of the bracelet that Naruto gave him in his pocket, Neji pinched the bracelet in his pocket, thought for a while, and then went straight to knock on the door.

Dengdengdeng.

After Ning Ci knocked three times, he began to wait.

With a slight creaking sound, the servant inside the door opened the door and looked at the person in front of the door. Some couldn't believe their eyes, and after a moment of surprise, they said in surprise: "Master Ning Ci?"

It is no wonder that the servant who opened the door was surprised. Ever since Neji's father died and broke with the Hyuga clan, he never took the initiative to knock on the door of the Hyuga clan, and the servants basically did not call him Master Neji.

It's just that since Neji showed excellent talent in the ninja school and gradually emerged after graduation, especially in the Chunin Exam, the attitude of the Hyuga clan has become ambiguous, and the title of Master Neji has gradually come back. up.

Ning Ci ignored the servant's address, and said directly, "Is Miss Hinata here?"
