……

Aromas waft through the air.

That's right, it's my own home!

Naruto quickened his pace, seemingly thinking of something as he stood on the street about to jump up, and then turned and walked up the stairs.

He took a deep breath at the doorway before opening it.

"I'm back!"

……

It was already evening, so Liu Li had already turned on the light.

There was a slight amount of oil smoke wafting under the orange light, and there was a hint of warmth.

"Wow!"

There wasn't much food on the table, but Naruto already had a look of surprise on his face.

"It looks delicious!"

As he spoke, Naruto was about to make a move.

Bang –

A jar fell on the table.

"Go wash your hands first. ”

"Yes!"

……

The towel was padded and the lid was lifted.

A rich aromatic reconstruction fills the room.

"It's so fragrant~"

Naruto's whole body floated straight over.

"Drink the chicken soup before eating, I see that you have a wound on your hand, so it is especially stewed, super replenished. Liu Li, who was wielding a spoon, said with a smile.

In terms of eating, Liu Li never treats himself badly.

Therefore, although the cooking skills are not said to be at the level of a chef who strives for excellence, it is a problem to open a small shop to support himself.

The spoon poured the soup into the bowl, and Naruto put his chin on the table, greedily watching as the golden chicken broth filled his bowl spoonful by spoonful.

"Wow, there's still ...... in the chicken soup Dates?"

Naruto saw a red color that was different from the soup and chicken, and when he looked closely, he realized that it was a date.

"There are also goji berries, which can replenish blood...... Well, what does your teacher teach you all day long?How can you let a child do bleeding training every day?" Liu Li frowned, looked at the wound on Naruto's hand, and said in an unkind tone.

"Huh, but that's what you have to do to practice psychics. Naruto clearly didn't understand.

I can't wait to pick up the chicken broth and bring it to my mouth.

"Ahh

Quickly blew twice, then took a small sip.

The red-hot liquid streaked down his throat and into his stomach.

The fatigue of the whole day seems to have been swept away.

"Well, it doesn't matter if it's just a little blood, as long as I can drink such delicious soup every day, I can hold on to doubling my training!"

The warm, fragrant, and slightly sweet chicken soup reverberates in the mouth.

"It's so delicious!"

"Haha, how delicious is it?" Seeing Naruto's appearance enjoying this guy so much, Liu Li's mood also became better.

"It's as delicious as Ichiraku ramen!"

"Uh......"

Liu Li's expression suddenly froze, and his smile gradually disappeared.

……

Poofhaha-

Sarutobi, who was peeking at this picture with a crystal ball, laughed out loud.

Seeing Liu Li's smile on his face because of Naruto's praise, but only getting 'as delicious as Ichiraku ramen' and his smile gradually disappearing, Sarutobi felt that it was very cola.

"It's nice to have someone to eat with Naruto. ”

－－－－－－

"Hiccup~"

Naruto slumped into his chair with a satisfied expression as he touched his round belly.

Liu Li took a toothpick and flossed his teeth.

"Naruto, go wash the dishes. ”

"Nani, but I don't want to move~" Naruto said lazily.

"Then you'll eat instant noodles tomorrow. Liu Li casually threatened.

“……”

In desperation, Naruto had no choice but to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, then wash them, and finally come back to lie down.

"Ah, it's comfortable to lie down when you're full!"

A warm feeling fills the body, not just the body, but here—

Naruto touched the position of his chest.

"Now, uncle, let's stew chicken soup tomorrow!"

After drinking it once, Naruto liked the taste.

"Don't. Liu Li refused without hesitation.

"Nani!"

Naruto rolled over with a thud.

"Why? It's so delicious? I'll wash the dishes in the future...... No, I'll help you buy the ingredients back first and then go to practice, and then you can make chicken soup, okay?"

Naruto looked at Liu Li pitifully, and almost didn't hug his thighs directly.

"I don't want to eat the same dish in a short period of time, so I'll make something else tomorrow. ”

"Anything else, is it delicious?"

"Are you questioning my cooking skills?" Liu Li's eyes showed a dangerous light.

Naruto hurriedly waved his hand, "No, don't dare...... Uncle, you can do whatever you want! I'm going to eat it all!"

“…… It is not good for the stomach for a child to eat so much, beware of becoming a big fat person. ”

"It's okay, I'm not going to gain weight. Naruto said with a grin.

"That's what you said, I'm a chef who has the experience of feeding a lot of people fat!"

"Let the horses come!"

After a while, it's time to rest.

"Today I'll sleep on the floor, and the children will go to their own beds. Liu Li said.

"No way!"

Naruto, who had already changed into his pajamas, went straight into the quilt and covered his head.

"I'm asleep, don't make a noise with me!"

“…… Really. Liu Li shook his head, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Now, uncle, there is my game in a few days, do you want to come and see it?"

Suddenly, Naruto asked with his head bared out again, full of hope.

"What competition?" asked Liu Li.

"In the middle ninja exam, I'm one of the last people to stay. ”

"Are there a lot of people attending?"

"Well, a lot, not much, a lot has been eliminated, and only the last few people remain. ”

"Oh, Naruto, you're pretty good, aren't you. ”

"Hee-hee, of course, I'm Naruto Uzumaki!

Liu Li put his finger on the switch and said with a smile on his face: "Then I'll go and cheer you on then, the future Hokage, Naruto Uzumaki! But it's time to rest, good night." ”

syllable

The lights go out.

"Good night. ”

Saying goodnight softly, thinking in his heart that he must burst out in the exam in a few days, Naruto, who Uncle Liu Li felt was powerful, fell asleep.

Liu Li, on the other hand, was lying on the bed and put on a comfortable posture.

The left thumb is gently slid over the ring on the middle finger.

"System, let's start training. ”

……

Early the next morning, Liu Li opened his eyes under the prompting of the system.

He had just woken up, but his eyes were tired.

But no one can see it at this time.

"Use of weapons...... It's so much harder than martial arts. ”

This is something without a little foundation, and Liu feels struggling to learn it.

Get up, wash up, and buy things from Liu Li yesterday.

Wake up Naruto, then casually fry two eggs and open two cartons of milk for breakfast.

"It's so early~"

Naruto yawned, a little uninterested even in the face of the delicious food.

"It's because you're going to wash the dishes later, and I'm afraid of delaying your training, so I wake you up early. ”

"Nani, do you want me to wash the dishes in the morning?"

Liu Li looked at him coldly, "Otherwise, why don't you eat?"

“…… I wash. ”
