"Ah, are these the Fire Dragon Cat cubs? They're so cute ~"
Girls generally liked cute things, and Xiao Ying was no exception. Looking at the pink furry kitten-like creatures in the nest, she really wanted to pinch them all and touch them.
"Looks like it is. The fire attribute chakras in their bodies are not fake.”
As Naruto spoke, he reached out his hand and was about to take out all these little things. Although they were very cute, a mission was a mission. There was no other way.
"Squeak squeak ~"
The little thing looked at the two tall creatures in front of it in a daze, but it did not show much fear. Perhaps it was because it did not know that it was not afraid. It even stuck out its cute little tongue and licked Naruto's finger.
"Naruto, what do you think the employer wants them for? They look so pitiful.”
Looking at the Fire Dragon Cat cub's small appearance, Xiao Ying could not help but feel a surge of maternal instinct. What a nimble little creature, and it was also very obedient.
"I don't know. Maybe he wants to catch it as a pet. Forget it, I'll just take one. The mission doesn't specify how many I need.”
Seeing that Sakura's heart had softened, Naruto had no choice but to give up on the idea of taking everything away. He thought that he was just doing the mission for fun anyway, so it was meaningless to be so serious.
"Okay, babies, be good. We won't hurt you.”
Xiao Ying patted the furry heads of the little ones. She felt even more sympathetic towards the Fire Dragon kittens. They were too hard to bear to hurt.
"Alright, why don't you catch another one and raise it at home? It shouldn't be a big deal.”
As he spoke softly, Naruto bent down and picked up another cub. It did not struggle at all. The little thing curled up in his palm and looked very cute. Its bright little eyes kept sizing up the two people in front of him, as if it was thinking about something.
"Is this okay? Their parents would be very sad.”
In her heart, she yearned to bring one home. However, Xiao Ying thought of the parents of the cubs. No matter what kind of creature it was, if their children were lost, they would definitely feel sad.
"I'm really defeated by you. Let's just give up the mission. We won't lose anything anyway.”
Seeing that Sakura was really too reluctant, Naruto said helplessly," Just let your heart be. There's no need to give up important things for small things, such as sincerity."
"Naruto, am I being too willful?”
Sakura looked at Naruto worriedly. She was afraid that her " weakness " would give him a bad impression. It was unreasonable for her to give up on a mission with a generous reward just because she was soft-hearted.
"Silly girl, what are you talking about? Actually, I like these little things very much too. This shows that you have a good heart.”
With a gentle smile on his face, Naruto put the two cubs back in his hands. Unexpectedly, the cubs seemed to have become dependent on Naruto. They squeaked and refused to climb down from Naruto's palm. They looked at Naruto pitifully with their big eyes, as if they were children looking for their father to hug.
"They don't want to leave Naruto-kun, hehe ~ Don't tell me they think you're their father.”
Looking at the two little things struggling, Sakura did not know why her heart was filled with warmth. Naruto looked so gentle. If she had children with him in the future, he would also coax the baby like this. Her face turned red. What was she thinking?
"Alright, the two of you are really pestering me. I'll take you home to catch mice and guard the door.”
While he was saying that, Naruto was secretly hugging the two Fire Dragon kittens. He felt the furry fur on his chest and laughed at himself for being so arrogant.
"Let's go. We should return to the village.”
The Wolf Hand once again held Sakura's hand. Naruto held the shy Sakura's hand and walked back. Today was almost over. As for what was almost over, only Naruto himself knew.
Following the original path to the altar, the two of them did not expect to meet an acquaintance. Naruto's mouth curled into an evil smile as he brought Sakura to the front of the group. Looking at the cold and arrogant mature body, the possessiveness in his heart suddenly reached its peak.
"Little Hatsuta, what a coincidence. Are you doing a quest?”
It was an old-fashioned conversation. Naruto walked in front of Hinata and said," You said that it's impolite? Please, the word 'polite' doesn't exist in Naruto's dictionary. In fact, this guy doesn't have a dictionary."
"Ah, it's you, Naruto-kun. I'm doing a quest with Sensei and the others.”
He didn't notice it at first, but when Naruto walked towards Shinata, he realized it. He twisted his body, but his eyes kept glancing at Naruto and Sakura's tightly held hands. He felt a little disappointed. He, he liked Sakura.
"Is that so? I was going to send you home together.”
Naruto pretended to be disappointed. He had a depressed look on his face. That's right, he wanted to abduct Hatata first. At that time, Red would definitely have an argument with him. As the saying goes, no matter how strong a beauty was, she would not be able to defeat a hooligan. If he wanted to leave an impression in Red's heart, he could only make her hate him first. It was better than ignoring him.
"I'm sorry, Naruto-kun, but we're about to complete the mission. Can you wait for me and leave together?”
As expected, Hatata's words were similar to Naruto's. He was worried that there was no reason to mix with Red, so he could openly mix into Hatata's team.
"Alright, I don't have anything to do anyway. What about you, Xiao Ying?”
Of course, he agreed. However, Naruto still turned around and asked Sakura, who was holding his hand. If Sakura did not agree, he could only send her home. After all, he took the initiative first.
"I don't have anything else to do, so I'll wait for Hata-san.”
Although Sakura was annoyed by Naruto's fake appearance, she still agreed to his request. The pervert really didn't hide anything at all.
"Oh right, little Hatata, what mission are you guys doing?”
Seeing Red was still talking to an unfamiliar monk, Naruto asked Hinata in confusion. He wondered if she was also looking for the Fire Dragon Cat. If that was the case, it would be too much of a coincidence.
" Speaking of which, I don't like it. Teacher Hong is still leading us on a D-rank mission to weed the area around the altar."
Without waiting for Hatata to reply, Ya interrupted." I'm depressed. I'm still a character. Master Xiaoqing has to give me a line. The only beauty in the team has been snatched away. I must resolutely resist Master Xiaoqing's indecent behavior."
