Chapter 65
Chapter 65
Shikamaru has been thinking, if Naruto doesn't know that he likes Sasuke, or Sasuke will never accept Naruto, should he tell Naruto that he knows his mind, and whether he still has the possibility to win Naruto.
He was so engrossed in thinking that he stopped unconsciously, and when Shikamaru came back to his senses, what appeared in front of him was the magnified face of Naruto who saw him approaching strangely after he stopped.
"Naruto, what are you doing?" Shikamaru, who has always been smart, rarely asked a stupid question because of a momentary distraction.
"Hey, Shikamaru, it's already dark, let's not go anymore." Pointing to the darkened sky, Naruto felt a little embarrassed.
Originally, the distance was not short, but it was hard to come out. Of course, Naruto hoped to understand all the recent troubles before going back, so he has been reluctant to hurry up, and now he just doesn’t want to leave. Anyway, Kakashi-sensei I also told him not to worry.
Although I don't know why Naruto did this, Shikamaru, who no longer plans to stay away from Naruto, is still happy to spend more time with Naruto when the task is not very urgent.
Didn't even bother to ask why, Shikamaru complied with Naruto's request graciously, and started a fire with Naruto under a big tree, planning to sleep like this for the night.
Naruto's excitement that lasted for a long time was not ignored by Shikamaru. After thinking about it, Shikamaru still planned to find out what Naruto was thinking before making a decision.He didn't want to give up his feelings easily, but he didn't want to add unnecessary burden to Naruto because of his feelings, "Naruto, why did you run back suddenly?"
"Huh? Me? I was afraid that Sasuke would leave while I was away, so I went back and put Chakra on him. And ah, Sasuke also promised me to wait for me. That bastard will definitely do it."
Naruto said with joy, but Shikamaru's eyes dimmed a little bit, "Naruto, what is your relationship with Sasuke now?"
Unexpectedly, Shikamaru, who has never been gossip, asked him a very distressed question as soon as he came. Naruto's high mood was suddenly disturbed. Said: "I don't know either. When I woke up this time, Sasuke became very strange, and I also became very strange..."
I wanted to ask something else, but seeing Naruto's current appearance, Shikamaru guessed that he couldn't ask anything useful, so he lay down with his hands on the back of his head, closed his eyes and didn't look at the side, and was distressed for another person Naruto.
For the rest of the journey, Shikamaru was even more silent, and there was almost no communication with Naruto, and Naruto, who was so bored and restless, almost went crazy.
However, there was one thing that surprised Naruto, after sleeping outside for so many nights, he slept until dawn and never had any nightmares again.
In this way, the mood is relaxed, and Naruto doesn't care about Shikamaru's indifference towards him recently, he only thinks that Shikamaru is troublesome, or delaying their journey to the Land of Wind with the limit he can do.
So, by the time they arrived, it was already a few days after the estimated time.
Knowing that Naruto was among the people who came to envoy this time, Gaara had sent someone to guard at the entrance of the village a long time ago, and after receiving Naruto's communication frog report, he even waited outside the village in person.
Seeing Naruto from a distance, Gaara left the accompanying people behind to meet him.After greeting Shikamaru politely, he turned sideways and thumped Naruto's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Naruto, I've been waiting for you for a long time, why did you come here?"
Of course Naruto was embarrassed to say that he deliberately delayed the time in order not to go back to see Sasuke earlier, he just scratched his hair and laughed, trying to get away with it.
Seeing that Naruto's expression was different, Gaara thoughtfully didn't ask any more questions, but while chatting with Naruto Shikamaru, he personally led Naruto and the others to his house.
After a simple dinner, the three of them went to Gaara's study together.
After receiving the document handed over by Shikamaru, Gaara read it carefully without even thinking about it, so he said to Shikamaru: "I understand the meaning of Hokage, I will pay attention to the movements of other countries, don't worry .”
The business was finished soon, and Gaara agreed to Konoha's request that was not too much. Of course, what he cares more about now is another matter that Kakashi mentioned in the document.
Guessing that Gaara should have something to say to Naruto, Shikamaru took a deep look at Naruto, and said goodbye to Gaara and went to rest.Even though he indulged Naruto's snail-like rushing rhythm these days, he didn't feel tired at all.
Gaara expressed that he appreciates Shikamaru's sense of wit, and quickly grabbed Naruto who wanted to go with Shikamaru.
But obviously Naruto didn't wink so much.
Looking at Gaara suspiciously, Naruto wondered what Shikamaru should say just now, and Gaara also agreed, right? Why are you pulling him now?Besides, if there is any problem, it's useless to hold him back. How can he have extra brain capacity to hold these things recently?
