Chapter 75 Is It Exactly Seven?
🕑 Added 2025-10-23 10:52:16 +0000 UTCTemari's eyes suddenly darted and she asked Naruto, "Did you hear about that?"
"Yeah." Naruto nodded immediately. "I just heard about it."
Temari stared at Naruto seriously. "Then what do you think?"
Naruto was silent for a moment and then said, "I have a fiancée."
"What?!" Temari became excited. "Then why would that guy make such a decision?"
Naruto complained, "It's all politicians' tricks. Do they care whether we are willing or not?"
Although there was a little resistance in his heart, Temari still agreed wholeheartedly with this sentence. "This is true. I didn't ask anyone's opinion at all, which is very annoying."
Although Naruto is very handsome and fits Temari's aesthetic perfectly, Temari is not like Haruno Sakura or Xiang Phosphorus, who regard appearance and feelings as the most important things in life.
For Temari, apart from looks, she still prefers a more stable personality, because that kind of personality increases a ninja's chances of survival. It avoids unnecessary pain to the greatest extent.
Seeing Temari deep in thought, Naruto asked her, "Then what do you think?"
Temari sighed softly. "I don't know. This is my father's decision and it has been finalized. It is almost impossible to change it."
Naruto nodded. "Well, I understand. If I have the chance, I will tell the Third Hokage about it."
"What?" Temari was slightly startled. "Wait a minute, don't be so impulsive!"
Naruto looked at Temari in confusion. "Huh? Is this called impulsive?"
Temari's voice became louder, as if to convince herself. "Of course! As a ninja, being willing to contradict the Kage's decision at every turn—isn’t this impulsive?"
Perhaps the difference in perspective between the two resulted in this ideological gap.
Temari cast her gaze to the ground, a trace of redness appearing on her cheeks, and said with some trepidation, "I think... we... can give it a try?"
Naruto raised his hand and touched his chin, staring at her with interest. "Aren't you quite a tomboy? Why do you have this side?"
"Wha... what?" Temari suddenly felt offended. "Even a tomboy would be a little shy at a time like this!"
"You really don't know how to make girls happy."
Regarding Temari's statement, Naruto agreed. "You are right, because girls usually coax me."
Temari: "?"
…
The first meeting between two people who had never gotten along before was somewhat awkward. This gave Naruto the feeling of being arranged to go on a blind date in his previous life.
Finally, the two of them entered Ichiraku Ramen together.
After Acorus served the ramen, he pinched Naruto's cheek and said, "Has Naruto changed his girlfriend again?"
Naruto: "??"
Temari: "??"
Naruto's brows jumped. "Sister Calamus, don't slander me!"
Acorus covered his mouth and snickered. "Oh right~ I forgot, little Naruto, you have a fiancée, and those girls following you are just your fans."
"It's a pity I have work and can't get away..."
After saying that, Acorus turned and left.
Temari looked shocked. "Wait? What did you say? What do you mean?"
Naruto calmly said to Temari, "Calm down. Although it is a bit boastful, I am very popular among girls in Konoha."
Temari gritted her silver teeth. "I saw it the first time I saw you!"
The meal was not pleasant, because there was always someone saying hello to Naruto, and Naruto was too tired to cope.
Coming out of Ichiraku Ramen, Temari saw Naruto frowning slightly and asked him, "How are you doing? Do you want to come to our Sand Village?"
Naruto looked at Temari in surprise. "What?"
Temari smiled. "You heard me right. I am inviting you to visit Sunagakure, or stay for a few days."
"Don't you really hate this kind of life being disturbed by others?"
If they could get Naruto to Sunagakure, they could then find a way to keep him there. By then, Naruto and his fiancée would not be able to meet each other. Naruto's admirers would be too far away to bother him.
After spending half a day together, Temari also realized that Naruto was not impulsive. Because Naruto doesn't get angry over trivial things and is always kind to others. And the way he behaves gives Temari a sense of maturity. Isn’t this stability?
Plus, there's another handsome blond guy.
If only Naruto could be invited to Sunagakure and stay. Not only would it fulfill Rasa's wish, but it would also help the village share its concerns. And he could still belong to Temari alone. Isn’t it beautiful?
Naruto thought for a moment and nodded to Temari. "Okay!"
Temari immediately became excited upon hearing this. "Okay! Let's set off now."
"No rush." Naruto shook his head. "I still have some things to deal with in Konoha."
This is true. Don't look at it, Naruto doesn't have many friends in Konoha, but the situation of these friends is more special. So Naruto still needs to deal with it.
Temari hummed and asked Naruto in a low voice, "It's so dark, can you take me back to the hotel first?"
Naruto: "Of course."
…
Konoha Village, outside the hotel responsible for housing Sunagakure. Two figures stood there.
Temari asked Naruto, "Naruto, tell the truth, how many girlfriends do you have in Konoha?"
Naruto said seriously, "There is really only one."
Temari felt relieved after hearing this.
But at this critical moment, Kurama suddenly said, "He is lying! According to my observation, this boy has at least seven or eight girlfriends!"
Temari was slightly startled by this sudden voice. Then she realized that this might be the tailed beast inside Naruto talking!
Naruto's face trembled slightly, and he immediately retorted to Kurama, "Stinky fox, don't slander me!"
Kurama snorted coldly. "Then let's count them, shall we?"
"That fiancée of yours is considered one!"
"That pink-haired teammate who keeps clinging to you counts as one, right?"
"That's three of your pink-haired teammate's blond friends, right?"
"That red-haired brat you heroically saved, four of them!"
"That little rich woman you went to take pictures for a little money, five of them!"
"That daughter of the Ichiraku Ramen owner, six!"
"The one who said not long ago that his daughter is very charming, seven!"
"There are others. I won't count them for you. Count them. Are they exactly seven?"
Temari was confused when she heard Kurama's words.
Naruto said to Kurama with a black line on his face, "Xiaojiu, don't cause trouble, I'll tell you! Do those people count? I have never had any wrong thoughts!"
Kurama smiled evilly. "Hehehe~ The main reason is that I haven't seen your expression of breaking through the defense yet."
Naruto: "..."
