Chapter 624 Finalizing the Relationship

In Konoha Village, the next morning, sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains, casting a long, thin ribbon of light across the floor.

Naruto sat on the edge of the bed, holding a wooden comb in his hand, clumsily combing Ino's hair.

Ino's hair was so fine and soft that he was afraid of hurting her, so he combed it very gently and slowly, as if he were handling some fragile treasure.

"Does it hurt?" Naruto asked.

Ino shook her head, a piece of candy in her mouth, her cheeks puffed out, and a naive yet bewildered smile on her face.

Naruto's heart melted at the sight of her.

Last night's events were still vivid in her mind. When she grabbed his clothes and said it hurt, a glimmer of life appeared in his eyes, which had been empty for five years.

Although that radiance was fleeting, Naruto knew that she was still there, somewhere in this body, waiting to be awakened by him.

Naruto helped Ino put on her clothes; it was a light yellow floral dress, which he had specially asked someone to retrieve from the supply depot a few days ago.

All the clothes in the village were the same style, but since Naruto was the Hokage's assistant, no one dared to say anything even if he occasionally got special treatment.

Ino looked down at her dress, tilting her head as if trying to recall something.

"Is it pretty?"

Ino didn't answer, but awkwardly touched the floral pattern on her skirt.

Naruto's eyes suddenly felt hot.

He took a deep breath, squatted down, cupped Ino's face in his hands, and looked intently into her eyes.

"Ino, will you marry me?"

Ino blinked, as if trying to understand the meaning of the sentence.

"To marry...someone?"

"Yes." Naruto's voice was a little tight, his heart was pounding like crazy. "Marry me, and you'll have candy every day. Strawberry flavor, apple flavor, and your favorite sour lemon candy."

"Every day...?" Ino tilted her head, like a child confirming something very important.

"Every day." Naruto nodded solemnly.

Ino thought for a long time, so long that Naruto thought she wouldn't answer, before she suddenly grinned and smiled happily.

"Okay, okay!"

Naruto was so excited that his heart was about to jump out of his chest. The next second, he reached out and pulled Ino into his arms, burying his face in the crook of her shoulder and inhaling the fragrance of her body.

Even though he had already searched and asked around for a long time last night, he still couldn't put it down.

Ino, not understanding what was going on, awkwardly raised her hand and patted his back, "No, don't hurt me anymore."

"Don't worry, I'll be gentle from now on." Naruto looked up and kissed her on the cheek.

The moment his lips touched her skin, he felt Ino flinch slightly, but then relax and even turn her head slightly as if in response.

My wife is so adorable. She's a little silly, but she's incredibly sensible and obedient in bed.

This was the first time others had experienced male satisfaction, the satisfaction that comes from a man. They never expected him to grow up so quickly!

Although it is immoral to engage in such behavior before marriage, they are already boyfriend and girlfriend, aren't they?

"Ino, can we do it one more time?"

Before Ino could understand and respond, the clothes she had just put on were crumpled up again and thrown on the ground...

After a day and a night, Naruto lay on the bed with Ino in his arms, muttering to himself about the future.

"Don't worry, I'll treat you better from now on, even better than before. There will be endless candy, beautiful flowers, and pretty clothes. Yes, and a beautiful big house too, this place is too small."

He didn't realize it when he was living alone before, because he was a man and thought that having a place to live was enough. But soon he would be a married man.

Everyone needs a decent home.

"Tomorrow I'll go to the Hokage's office and apply for a big house. We'll move there after we get married, the kind with a garden, and then we'll get a cat and a dog. Kakashi-sensei's dog is pretty good; it can talk and is very intelligent, so it can help me keep an eye on you. And there's Sasuke Uchiha's swordsman cat; he's rarely home, and I've been neglecting it. Why don't we let it come over and keep you company?"

Yamanaka Ino nestled foolishly in his arms, not understanding what he was saying, but the feeling just now was very comfortable and made her feel very safe.

At first, she felt a little uncomfortable because she didn't understand and even struggled slightly. Fortunately, Naruto's mouth was sweet, like she was holding candy, and since he was someone she knew well, she gradually relaxed.

Inside the room, Naruto hugged and kissed Ino again, but before he could make any further moves, the small door was kicked open forcefully by someone.

The entire door frame collapsed, and Naruto turned around to find Sakura looking furious. Startled, he quickly wrapped himself and Ino tightly in the blanket.

"Why did you barge in like that? Don't you know it's very rude?" he shouted, but his voice lacked conviction.

To everyone's surprise, Sakura didn't say a word, but instead forcefully threw several individually packaged boxes of medicine and several boxes of rubber products at his face.

She then glared at him and turned to leave.

Naruto had no idea why he was angry. He rubbed his red nose, picked up the medicine, and saw that his neck and face were even redder.

"What? How could I be so accurate as to get pregnant on my first try? And what's wrong with getting pregnant? Why would I need to use medication to abort it?"

Although he said that, he still took out a pill and tricked Ino into thinking it was candy, and made her take it.

They haven't enjoyed their life as a couple enough, and now they want a baby? Won't he be left alone in the future?

He didn't want it, and Ino wasn't capable of taking care of the children right now. He would wait until he defeated the demon and brought them back to the real world.

He had already thought it through; his child absolutely could not be born into a false world, absolutely not!

"Ino, want some candy?"

"It's bitter." Ino wanted to vomit, but Naruto covered her mouth with his, and she was forced to swallow it during a kiss.

"Good girl!" He reached out and stroked her soft, golden hair.

Ino obediently leaned her head in and let him touch her, then nuzzled against his chest.

"Haha, no need!" Naruto laughed as he dressed him. "Alright, now I'm going to get to work with full enthusiasm!"

Yamanaka Ino, seeing his silly expression, also started to chuckle.

This time, Naruto didn't take Ino to the hospital, but instead took her to Hinata's house nearby.

The main reason is that he's having trouble facing Sakura; he hasn't figured out how to apologize to her yet.

Furthermore, Naruto realized that Sakura probably liked him too, but now that he has a wife, he should avoid suspicion.
