This was the agreement that Mai and Naruto had made after they met each other.
Although it was very old-fashioned, it was also a symbol of friendship between the two sides. Everyone's living conditions were similar. So far, the two of them had supported each other and lived together. They were like kittens licking each other's wounds, relying on each other to survive.
"It's okay. You'll become a ninja like me.”
Mai shook her head as she looked at Naruto's pained expression. She then patted him on the shoulder meaningfully.
" Mai…" Naruto stared at Mai in a daze, his eyes gradually turning red." Thank you. In the entire village, only you and Teacher Iruka are willing to accompany me. Only you are willing to be with me…"
As he spoke, he suddenly hugged Mai's petite body and burst into tears.
The loneliness hidden under his sunny face finally burst out and turned into tears.
Mai moved her lips. She originally wanted to push him away, but when she felt his body shaking, she sighed in the end. The hand that pushed him away turned into a hand that rested on his back, gently patting him to comfort him.
After all, he was still a real person with flesh and blood. It was impossible for him to always be sunny like in the original novel.
Behind that bright smile, who knew how much grievance and helplessness she had suffered?
After crying for a while, Naruto finally let go of Mai. He wiped the tears from his eyes, and a grateful look appeared in his eyes."Thank you…By the way, Mai, how did you suddenly become so powerful?”
"Oh, I got to know a brother. He taught me some physical techniques.”
Mai thought about it and decided not to hide it from Naruto.
In any case, the fact that he had learned physical skills from Rock Lee had already been exposed. Little Lee was a person who couldn't control his mouth when it came to people close to him. The last time he went back, he had already told his teacher about his " younger sister." Mai only found out the next day. Hence, in the sparring assessment just now, she had used all her strength to instantly kill Sakura.
After all, physical techniques were not something powerful. Moreover, they were already exposed, so there was no need to hide too much.
As for the source of her power, no one would doubt her.
"What? Mai, you said you know a brother?”Mai was still thinking about something, but for some reason, Naruto suddenly became anxious and grabbed her arm." Why didn't you tell me before?" You're too unfriendly!"
“……”
Mai suddenly felt as if she had dug a hole and jumped into it.
Looking at this kid's eyes, could it be that…the person he liked had changed from Haruno Sakura to her?
"Ahem…Naruto, I have a very good suggestion.”Mai calmly pulled away his hand that was holding her arm and said in a sincere and earnest tone," Don't hang out with me all day. Go out and walk around more, broaden your horizons, and broaden your horizons. How about that?”
"Tell me, who is your brother?”
Unfortunately, Naruto did not seem to hear him at all. He still looked anxious.
" Don't always worry about me," Mai said helplessly." There are still many people who care about you. For example…"
Just as she was about to say Hinata's name, a system notification sounded in her head.
"Ding! Main mission released!"
" Mission Requirement: After Naruto becomes a Genin, live together with him!”
" Mission Reward: Shadow Clone Technique."
[Mission Failure: From now on, my chest will hurt whenever I bandage it.]”
" Note: The reward will be released in a month. If Naruto has not learned the Shadow Clone Technique, the mission will automatically fail.”
“……”
“……”
“……”
'Meow, System, don't come out and cause trouble at this time!'
Mai felt a deep sense of sorrow, but she glanced at the quest reward and decisively put on a gentle smile. She patted Naruto's shoulder gently and said in a gentle voice,"Naruto, when you become a Genin, let's live together!”
"…What?" For a moment, Naruto thought that his ears were broken and raised his head in surprise.
"I mean…well, when you become a Genin, let's…live together!”Mai " shyly " lowered her head, and her cute little face blushed." I'm living alone in a big house. It's quite lonely. If you don't mind…"
As Mai spoke, she seemed to be shy, so she didn't continue, but her face turned even redder.
Of course, his moral integrity had also been sold…For the sake of the mission reward, what was a mere cohabitation?
Looking at the delicate appearance of the girl in front of him, Naruto was stunned. His heart felt like it was beating fast. After a long while, he came back to his senses. He gritted his teeth and nodded fiercely."Mai, it's a deal! I will definitely become a Genin for you to see!”
It was very sad because when male creatures reached puberty, their bodies would also begin to develop.
At this moment, Naruto was obviously affected by the female hormones emitted by Mai's body, causing him to lose his ability to think.
"Hmm…"
Mai let out a soft snort, which made Naruto almost lose his footing.
"Don't worry, Mai. I'll definitely become a Genin this time!”In front of a cute member of the opposite sex, Naruto could not be afraid. He patted his chest and tried his best to show his manliness." Actually, Mr. Shuimu told me how to become a Genin just now. As long as I succeed, I can become a Genin!"”
"Then you have to work hard!" Mai revealed a gentle and sweet smile." I will always wait for you!”
"Alright, I will! Mai, wait for me!"
Naruto shouted. After saying this, he turned around and ran into the distance.
Mai finally heaved a sigh of relief as she watched Naruto leave. She rubbed her face, which was almost stiff from acting cute.
To be honest, the person she didn't want to flirt with the most was Naruto, because Naruto was the closest person to Mai. He had been helping her all these years, and his personality was also very simple. He always had a bright smile on his face. Her classmates, such as Sasuke, Ya, Shino, Shikamaru, etc., although they had good personalities, they were only classmates. No one had ever thought for her like Naruto did. He even saved her last time.
Even if he was considered a green tea, Mai still had feelings for him. No matter what, she didn't want to hurt him.
However…if she did not complete the mission, she would not be able to survive in this world.
What kind of talent did Mai have? There was nothing! It could be seen from the fact that she had been working hard so far, but her results had been at the bottom.
There was no other way to increase his strength other than relying on the missions given by the System Father.
Naruto, don't blame me, blame the world!
I must become stronger!
Mai's gaze became even more determined.
Because he wanted to become stronger, he had no choice but to play dumb. Yes, the logic was right. There was nothing wrong with it.
After all…Mai was such a person. She always found excuses for herself.
