The steam train was shaking when they arrived at the destination, and there were only a dozen seats in the entire carriage. When Naruto boarded, he had stood up and checked the area, and there was only a couple huddled in the corner.

When he said there was no one here, he wasn’t entirely wrong.

In the mostly empty carriage, as long as they weren’t doing anything inappropriate, there really wasn’t much to worry about. After all, those kinds of things only happen in Ja… ‘Wait…’ Naruto fell into deep thought.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ino reached out and pinched him, saying annoyedly, "Come on, tell me, are you thinking something inappropriate again?"

"Ah, no." Naruto coughed, turned his head and looked at Ino seriously, "I suddenly remembered a movie I watched before… and the current scene brought back memories."

"You like watching movies? How come I didn’t know that?" Ino looked at him in doubts and blinked her bright eyes, "I remember you said last time that you were too lazy to watch movies."

"Oh, you must have misheard it." Naruto lifted his legs and clearly did not want to continue down this topic, "Take a look for yourself, there’s no one here."

Ino is different from Sakura. If the conversation went too far, she would genuinely get upset.

Hearing this, Ino actually stood up, and as luck would have it, she made eye contact with the couple sitting in the corner. Ino instantly felt a little embarrassed and quickly sat back down with a red face.

"You lied to me again!" She whispered angrily and pulled Naruto closer, "There are obviously two people over there, and they saw me when I stood up."

"Look at how intimate those two are, it's obvious that their relationship is not simple." Naruto did not directly address the question raised by Ino, but instead spoke from another angle.

"Hmm, are they a couple?" Ino blinked, her gossipy soul was aroused, and at the same time, she looked at Naruto with a hint of resentment.

It was as if she were silently asking: ‘Why aren’t we a couple yet?’

"Cough." Naruto cleared his throat, not rising to the bait. He felt that it was too hasty to confirm their relationship at this point.

After all, given Ino’s jealous nature, how would he handle Hinata?

As for Dark Sakura, he could just forget about it, as she will only be younger sister among the sisters, always at the back of the line.

"Not necessarily. Don’t jump to conclusions about people you don’t know." He coughed, furrowed his brows as he looked at Ino and said, "While we're speculating about others, they might be doing the same about us."

"Who cares? Let them think what they want. We’re completely…" Ino stopped mid-sentence, pausing for several seconds before turning to Naruto with a sharp look.

"Naruto, what is our relationship?"

Hearing this, Naruto didn't think twice and hugged Ino, then leaned over to kiss her. Her lips were warm and cool, so soft that they seemed to melt in his mouth.

He positioned himself over her, one leg braced against the seat, his other hand supporting them. The heated sound of their kisses echoed softly in the quiet train, interspersed with the faint sound of breathy sighs.

The two kissed rhythmically, with Naruto taking the lead. Ino, leaning back against her seat, was breathing a bit heavily, her gaze already dreamy and distant.

Like a candy jar being asked for, she responded clumsily and enthusiastically.

She had been flustered when she made eye contact with the couple in the corner earlier, but now that they were kissing, she didn’t care about anything else. She didn’t even register any sounds around them, and just fully immersed in the moment.

The boldness of their kiss echoed through the quiet carriage, and Naruto didn’t stop until Ino was almost out of breath. He paused, but he wasn’t done with her yet.

He moved to kiss her neck, like a beast moving in to claim its prey, gently nuzzling her skin. While kissing her neck, he took advantage of Ino’s dazed state to question her, " So, what do you think our relationship is?"

"I...I don’t know." Ino mumbled, her voice barely coherent, "Do you...do you like me?"

"I do." Naruto replied before kissing her again, resuming the passionate exchange for another long moment.

The other two passengers in the carriage exchanged bewildered glances, both shocked by what they'd just witnessed. They opened their mouths as if to say something, but no words came out.

Initially, they thought the kissing sounds would end soon, but to their surprise, the wet, smooching noises continued for a solid ten minutes.

Naruto finally pulled away, collapsing back into his seat, his shirt slightly unbuttoned and his body covered in sweat. He rolled up his sleeves and leaned back in his seat, his exposed neck radiating a faint heat.

He thought to himself, ‘It’s a good thing that I reacted quickly, otherwise, I would have been trapped by a life-threatening question where I had to choose between two options.’

For now, all of them have just reached adulthood, so he felt that it's too early for him. Until he found the perfect solution, Naruto preferred to maintain some balance.

After all, nothing was set in stone yet. There were still so many unknowns, including whether peace could truly be maintained in the Shinobi World. Plus, Naruto knew he wouldn’t spend his entire life in Konoha. It wasn't viable for him to be permanently tied to the Land of Fire.

Ino's eyes were a little dazed, and it took her a while to come back to her senses. The sensation wasn’t bad, in fact, it was somewhat addictive. Every kiss felt different.

In fact, she was half-drunk last time, which dulled her senses. But this time, she felt more from the kiss and her body felt an indescribable pleasure. Honestly, it’s a bit overwhelming to her.

Thinking about what had just happened, her cheeks suddenly felt hot and she turned her head to the window.

The remnants of winter’s chill lingered in the air, but new green buds were already sprouting from the barren trees that whizzed by. The large, old steam train let out a whistle as it rumbled along.

The carriage hummed softly, and even the smallest sounds made Ino feel embarrassed. Her face was as red as if it might catch fire.

Doing intimate things with someone she likes feels different. Every sense was heightened, and the satisfaction was immense.

When you like someone, it’s natural to want to define the relationship. Keeping things hanging only made her feel restless. Whether it was eating, walking, or working, she always had this matter on her mind.

Ino actually had been thinking about it for a long time, hoping Naruto would take the initiative. The communicator she had spent years developing? Her original motivation was just to stay in touch with him.

The excuse of contributing to Konoha’s development was something Naruto had come up for her with later. It worked well enough, so she went with it, but so far, it had only fooled him.

Once the communicator became mainstream in the future, maybe she could fool the whole village. Yeah, it’s for Konoha’s development, not just to stay in touch with someone special.
