Chapter 28 What I Said Back Then
When Sakura was holding the martial arts secrets of the "First Hokage" and preparing to practice tree climbing, trying to use this method to enlarge her breasts and increase her chakra control, Ino was resting at home.
Thanks to a donation from a kind-hearted person, her impoverished wallet finally got some money back.
The battle with Sasuke was extremely exhausting for her.
It was too much! She used five detonating talismans produced by Mandiantang, and used countless senbon, kunai, and shurikens! Except for the wind demon shuriken that opened like a big fan because it was inconvenient to carry to school, she used up almost all the other ninja tools.
Ninja tools can be recycled, but she had no experience and was too tired at the time. It was her first battle as a time traveler from a peaceful era. She was very nervous even though she was mentally prepared to fight to the death with a kunai. Sasuke didn't pick up the ninja tools for the sake of his reputation. She was dizzy and didn't think of it, and no one reminded her. As a result, all the tools went to Naruto. Today I went out to mail a letter to someone, and by the way, I went to Mandiantang to replenish my ninja tools.
After some bargaining, the excitement of defeating Sasuke was gone.
I have become stronger, but also poorer! This is what Ino really thinks.
Now, the five thousand taels from the kind-hearted person finally pulled her back from the brink of bankruptcy.
It was not until the third day that Ino's chakra was mostly restored and she finally came out of her depression.
"Ino, don't lie at home all the time, go shopping with your mother?" Yamanaka Rino, dressed like a noble lady, asked Ino gently.
Shopping requires spending money, and Ino doesn't want to spend any money now. She almost didn't hesitate: "My head still hurts a little, I want to rest for another day."
Before she finished speaking, Yamanaka Rino raised a finger and showed a childish smile: "One thousand taels, if you accompany mom to go shopping, you will get a reward of one thousand taels."
Ino hesitated immediately, because the headache symptoms caused by the massive consumption of chakra seemed to be relieved by more than half suddenly. It was really magical.
"this."
"Two thousand taels."
“.”
"Three thousand taels!"
"Deal! I'll go change my clothes now!"
It's not that Ino doesn't want to summarize and reflect on the battle process at home, but her cheap mother gave her too much.
When Yamanaka Rino said she was shopping, she really meant "shopping". She looked here, asked there, and when Ino asked her what she wanted to buy, she didn't say anything. It seemed like she was just wandering around aimlessly.
What does this mean? Ino was confused by her cheap mother's behavior.
As they were strolling, Yamanaka Rino's eyes suddenly lit up, and she pulled Ino with unquestionable strength towards a middle-aged woman.
"Yoshino!" Yamanaka Rino smiled very warmly, as if she saw a good friend on the street.
The other party was surprised at first, and then he also showed a bright smile: "Li Ye? What a coincidence, yeah, Xiao Ino is here too."
Ino had seen this middle-aged woman before. She was the "troublesome woman" who had caused Shikamaru a lot of childhood trauma and whom Shikamaru often talked about.
This woman is Shikaku's wife, Shikamaru's biological mother, Nara Yoshino! Then Ino saw the so-called "friendship". Yamanaka Rino took two steps at a time, seemingly slow but actually fast, and pulled out Choji's mother who was hiding in a grocery store, trying to hide her body. The three of them exchanged some small talk and then walked together.
Ino secretly sighed, this mother of Choji's reaction speed is not slow, but where can you hide your fat body, and you underestimated the perception of the Yamanaka family! Yamanaka Rino and Shikamaru's mother and Choji's mother started shopping. Ino faithfully fulfilled her duties, that is, to be a good tool. Whenever the three mentioned her name, she would show a shy or surprised expression according to the context.
Yamanaka Rino asked, "How is your Shikamaru's study lately?"
"No! That unlucky child is always causing troubles. It makes me so angry! Your Ino is still the best! She is smart, cute, and obedient. She is really good."
"Even Ino is no good. Her father criticized her yesterday. This child has a hard time beating Uchiha Sasuke. It really makes us parents worry."
Shikamaru's mother: "."
Choji's mother: "."
Uchiha Mikoto in the underworld: "."
"Shikamaru is smart, Choji is kind, they are both good kids."
"I've seen it a long time ago. Among our three families, Ino is the better child! You will enjoy a happy life in the future, Rino."
"No, you don't know that educating a girl is much more difficult than educating a boy."
Ino was like a wooden man, listening silently to her cheap mother showing off.
We had a meal at noon and the joint shopping trip ended only when the sun was about to set in the evening.
Ino wiped the sweat from her forehead. It was not easy to earn these three thousand taels. It was easier to cheat Sakura's money. She was thinking about Sakura. Suddenly she looked up and saw Sakura, who had a broad forehead and was wearing a pink high-slit cheongsam, standing at the door of her house. It was obvious that she was waiting for someone.
Standing at her door, he must be waiting for her. He can't be coming to the Yamanaka house to find Sasuke, right?
The story of the first Hokage was exposed? This shouldn't be the case! Ino felt that she had done it very secretly. Besides, the method of climbing a tree to train chakra was really not expensive for a civilian ninja. It was definitely a friendly price.
Her movements were a little hesitant, and her steps slowed down involuntarily.
Yamanaka Rino, who had been idle all day, was very happy and said cheerfully: "That girl is here to see you, right? Go and have fun."
Ino walked over slowly and found that Sakura looked strange today. It was a complex expression that was a mixture of strength, uneasiness and hesitation.
What on earth is this guy doing here? "Can you walk with me?" Sakura whispered.
Ino wasn't afraid of her, she just felt like she had done nothing all day and just spent time with people strolling around, so she nodded and said, "Okay."
Both of them were silent. They gradually moved away from the crowd and came to the park. When passing by a sea of flowers, Sakura stopped.
Sakura turned her back to her and whispered, "Ino."
Confused by her actions, Ino asked, "What's up?"
Sakura was silent for a few seconds: "There are some things I originally planned to say after graduation."
Ino stared at her back, then shifted his gaze to look into the distance: "Then let's talk about it after graduation."
"Ino is pretty and cute, knows a lot, and is very strong in shurikenjutsu. Now you are so good at ninjutsu that even Sasuke can't beat you." Sakura paused: "Do you remember what we said here before?"
What did he say? Ino looked around, and the original owner's memories quickly emerged.
