Sakura didn't know that Kurama was already considering playing both sides. He had tried this before with Hinata, but after being discovered, that avenue was cut off.

"He probably has more." Sakura said without hesitation.

In fact, she had no idea how much money Naruto had, nor had she ever thought about it. Even when speaking in front of a dog, she instinctively protected Naruto’s pride.

Not for any particular reason, but because he really deserves it.

Hearing this, Kurama suddenly lost interest, ‘No money? What’s there to talk about with no money?’

The reason Kurama think like this is because, in his eyes, Naruto wasn’t exactly rich either.

Maybe he had some hidden savings that Kurama didn’t know, but Kurama believed it’s nothing substantial.

Since Sakura wasn’t as wealthy as Naruto, the idea of being loyal to multiple people would need to be reconsidered. For him, Hinata, at least, was still an option for occasional free food and drink.

Although Hinata listened to Naruto very much and never secretly gave him alcohol after that time, she still fed him occasionally.

Therefore, Sakura, who was not even as rich as Naruto, was crossed off his list. Kurama thought that a few bottles of sake would be good enough, as it’s better than nothing.

"Alright then, human, if you insist." Kurama said as he stood on the couch, "I’ll reluctantly accompany you on this trip."

Sakura couldn’t help but chuckled at the old-fashioned tone of Kurama.

It was not until Sakura took Kurama to order dozens of boxes of sake in a row that Kurama’s face became serious. He scratched his chin with a paw, thinking to himself, ‘Oh my god, I might actually end up becoming a slave to three masters.’

Meanwhile, Naruto was sitting in a steam train car with Ino, completely unaware that Kurama had accidentally stabilized Sakura’s condition. He just ran into the sneaky Kurama when he was going downstairs, and asked him to go upstairs to check on her.

To be honest, Naruto didn’t really have a good solution for Sakura’s condition.

The research of Konoha's Medical Ninjutsu on mental health was quite limited. If he really needed to find someone to discuss it, he would probably have to turn to Orochimaru. However, Orochimaru was just killed by Sasuke, and it is estimated that he is still in parasitic mode.

Apart from Orochimaru, the only other person with deep knowledge of mental health was Kabuto. However, he and Kabuto had a feud, and Kabuto would love nothing more than to eliminate him.

Naruto wasn’t sure if their last encounter had left Kabuto with any psychological scars, but the next time they met, Naruto would definitely keep insulting Kabuto's mother, just like before.

After all, Kabuto was just as cautious as Orochimaru. Even if he agreed to help Naruto, he would likely sabotage things secretly. So, in Naruto’s view, there wasn’t much difference between making an enemy of Kabuto or trying to befriend him.

This was the inevitable consequence of differing positions, and it had nothing to do with good or evil.

As for Sakura’s condition, her best hope might still be with Tsunade. Now that Naruto was an adult, his status and position had pretty much caught up.

If it’s just about gathering some secret information, it shouldn’t be too big of an issue. There's hope for healing, after all, the world is vast, and it's unlikely there's not a similar case somewhere out there.

"Isn't this train way too outdated?" Naruto grumbled, barely able to handle the constant shaking. He took three attempts to swallow a sip of water, "If I try to pee on this thing, it'll splash back in my face."

Ino, sitting snugly beside him, smiled contentedly, but frowned as soon as she heard his comment.

"Don't say such vulgar things!"

"Alright, alright, you're the princess." Naruto leaned lazily against the train with a nonchalant look on his face.

"Are you mad?" Ino’s tone softened as she half-explained, half-coaxed him, "I heard from others that children are influenced by their parents' words and actions."

"Children?" Naruto's eyelids twitched slightly, and he turned his head to look at Ino in surprise amid the clattering sound of the train, "Your mother’s lied to you. A kiss doesn’t make babies."

"I know that!" Ino gave him a glance as if he were an idiot, her face flushing a little, and she said hurriedly, "I meant for the future."

"Huh? You do know how babies are made, right?" He stared at Ino for a few seconds, and Ino was instantly defeated. She turned her head and mumbled, “I don’t know.”

"Well, let me teach you about the birds and bees."

"Ah! You’re awful!" Ino, embarrassed and angry, punched him in the stomach, "Don’t talk about that! Or… or I’ll hit you."

"You said you didn’t know, and you were the one who brought up children in the first place." Naruto said with his eyes wide open, "I know a bit more, so is there anything wrong with selflessly sharing my knowledge?"

"Anyway, you’re not allowed to talk about it!" Ino snapped back in a cute but fierce manner.

"Fine, I won’t talk about it." Naruto turned around, and then seemed to have thought of something, "What did you mean by ‘children’ just now?"

"Are you thinking about having them so soon?"

"Ugh, as if! No way I’d give you that!" Ino retorted haughtily, "You’re pretty close to Hinata too, right? Let her give you children."

Seeing that Naruto didn't say anything else, Ino was stunned for a moment, then suddenly became furious, "Wait, are you actually thinking about it now?"

"No." Naruto shook his head, denying it. He wasn’t thinking about Hinata but was reminded of someone else, Kazahana Koyuki, the new Daimyo of the Land of Snow.

He recalled that he seemed to have promised her to go back and see her again after coming of age, but he hadn’t had the time recently. However, Naruto also knew what Koyuki had hinted at wanting an heir.

Given the current unstable situation, he couldn't afford to take time away. As for the taxes from the geothermal generators, he actually didn’t even need it. After all, it was just the system requirement to get the Max-Level Flying Thunder God Technique.

But if the taxes were collected, it didn't seem bad either. At least, a portion of the Land of Snow’s control was in his hands.

"You're lying! You were definitely thinking about it just now!" Ino grabbed his arm and, in a fit of frustration, bit him lightly on the shoulder.

Naruto took the opportunity to pull her closer, staring directly into her eyes without blinking.@@novelbin@@

"What are you doing?" After a symbolic struggle, Ino failed to break free.

"I’m definitely not trying to have kids." Naruto replied mischievously, "Last time, when you got drunk, your mouth was full of the smell of alcohol. I didn’t get to taste anything properly."

"That’s not fair." He said sternly.

"No way! I didn’t smell like alcohol! You..." Ino suddenly realized what he was hinting at, and her body became hot, "Stop it, there are people around."

"Where? There’s no one here." Naruto said, exasperated, then confidently added, "Let me teach you how to kiss properly."
