Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Barbecue Encounters
"Isn't this Naruto, it's really strange to see you here."
The second wave of barbecue came up, and Naruto was busy eating with his head down, when the sound of Shikamaru came from overhead.
"And it's a person, it's too pitiful, what about Sasuke?" Shikamaru continued, still with a poisonous tongue as always.
Naruto looked up, Shikamaru Asma and Ino Dingji, and none of the people in the tenth class were here.
"Most of our class has advanced, how can you be so leisurely, and you have to prepare to deal with the opponents in the main competition." Naruto smiled maliciously and choked back.
Answering Shikamaru Sasuke, while preparing for the practice, he also made fun of Ino and Dingji, who were eliminated.
"Preparing for the race? Cut, no matter how you think about it, it shouldn't come out of your mouth. Shikamaru rolled his eyes when he heard this.
Preparing for the game and preparing to go to the barbecue restaurant, Shikamaru said in his heart that you can say such things without changing your face.
"Okay, okay, since we met, let's go together, I'll pay for this meal, let's sit down." At this time, Asma interrupted the endless mockery between the two, and beckoned Dingji and Ino and the others to sit down.
Asma is a ninja mentor after all, since he has met, it is naturally not good to open another table and let Naruto be here alone, so he simply spends a little extra money, anyway, today he decided to bring Ding Ji here and was already ready for heavy bleeding.
In addition, he is also a little curious about Naruto, usually when he meets two classes of people, and rarely calls him alone, this time is just the right time to get to know more about this amazing boy.
"Then thank you Teacher Asma, how did you build a team today, is it to celebrate Shikamaru's promotion?" Naruto's eyes lit up when he saw Asma take the bill, and he asked casually as he shifted his position to make way for them.
Someone paid for him, which made him feel a lot brighter, at least he didn't have to bear the double blow of losing a life and going bankrupt.
"How is that possible?" Shikamaru rolled his eyes again when he heard this, pointed to Ding Ci, who unceremoniously waved his chopsticks to grab the barbecue after sitting down, and said, "It's a comfort banquet, it's almost the same, today's main thing is to comfort this guy and eliminate the injured heart." ”
"......" Naruto was speechless, and glanced at Ding Ji, who was distributing barbecue and vegetables to everyone with a serious face, indeed, this reason was indeed more logical.
"Don't say that, Shikamaru, today is also to celebrate your promotion, and there is no conflict between them at all." Asma, who had finished ordering the food here, heard Shikamaru's complaint, and quickly took over the conversation and said.
Even if he knew that Shikamaru's character and his relationship with Dingji were impossible, it was impossible for him to say this out of jealousy, but as the mentor of the three, especially in the presence of Naruto, he still had to maintain the image of a bowl of water.
After speaking, Asma looked at Naruto and said, "Looking at your appearance, it seems that you are not worried at all that the opponent is the genius of the Hyuga family, and you are very confident." ”
If you want to talk about the most anticipated matchup in the game in a month, Asma must not hesitate to choose Naruto's match against Ninji, in his opinion, it is a contest between two top talents of Konoha's generation.
Needless to say, Ning Ci is a rare genius in the Hyuga family in recent years, and he graduated first at this time last year to make him famous, even if this child is from the Hyuga family, no one will underestimate him, you know, Hyuga blood succession, at the level below the middle ninja, is extremely dominant, after all, at this stage, except for a very few people, most people's combat methods are still based on physical skills, and white eyes and soft boxing are the nemesis of all physical skills.
And when it comes to Naruto, Asma looks even more differently.
also has the reputation of genius, but Naruto gives him a very different impression from the type of Ninji or Sasuke. In his opinion, this kid was too special, not to mention the fierce fight with Xiao Li that amazed everyone present, just knowing from Sasuke's mouth at that time that Naruto's fight with that Orochimaru was enough for him to remember, not to mention the secret of this kid's resurrection.
The physical ability of a ninja who does not lose the physical arts, the ability to change the terrain and the wind, and the mastery of the Spiral Pill of the four generations of Hokage, Asma doesn't know how many amazing abilities this child can discover, so he is looking forward to Naruto's match more than Sasuke, who is also paying attention to me.
"Confidence? Sort of. Naruto smiled quietly when he heard this, "It's just that I'm embarrassed to think that in the middle ninja exam, I have to eliminate two Kai-sensei's subordinates in a row." ”
Naruto looked serious, as if he didn't notice how arrogant his words were, and instead stated the facts.
“……”
"Ahem...... Boom! His words not only made Shikamaru Ino look at him in surprise, but even Ding Ji, who was busy stuffing barbecue meat into his mouth, was accidentally choked because of his arrogant attitude, and hurriedly picked up the juice and poured it violently.
"Uh......" Asma was also stunned, and he didn't know how to continue for a while, and at the same time, he also noticed that Naruto seemed to have changed a lot from what he knew before, and he was more sharp than the rumored introverted.
"I said, you guy is really not modest at all, if Ning II hears this, I'm afraid your game will be held in advance." Helplessly glancing at Ding Ji, who was receiving Ino to help him pat his back and cough non-stop, Shikamaru complained in his characteristic tone.
Even if he privately thought that Ninji would not be Naruto's opponent, but the impression that Naruto, who had always been restrained and quiet, suddenly seemed to be a different person, which still made him a little unaccustomed.
Since Asma can feel Naruto's changes, his IQ is off the charts, and Shikamaru, who has a more delicate mind, has no reason not to notice it, in fact, as early as when he was in the central tower, he felt this way the moment he saw the rumored "dead and resurrected" Naruto, but at that time, considering Naruto's appalling experience, it was not surprising that there was a little strangeness and he didn't think much about it, and now it seems that Naruto's changes are much more profound than he thinks.
"Fact, excessive modesty seems to me to be hypocritical, and I don't want to be so boring." Naruto just smiled flatly at Shikamaru's complaint.
He didn't believe that Shikamaru's eyes would not be able to imagine that Ning Ji was not his opponent, so he simply spoke out.
As his own strength grows, his mentality will change, which is normal, whether he is inflated or arrogant, anyway, now he has passed the period of cautious walking on thin ice in the early years, and he has been dead for a while, and he is still living like a frightened rabbit, which is too boring.
As far as the matter is concerned, even if he puts his misty "plug-in" aside, with only these ninjutsu and physical techniques he has mastered so far, Ning Ci will not be his opponent.
Not to mention that because of his little daughter-in-law's relationship, he knows everything about white eyes and soft boxing, this is actually not an equal match between the two sides at all, unless Ning Ci is also a traverser and opens the reincarnation eye, otherwise the result is doomed from the beginning.
And this is obviously impossible, so what he said just now was really not that he was messing around with pride or arrogance, but that he was serious about things, after all, such a game, even if he wins, there is no sense of achievement.
"It's really a confident boy, you have to learn this Shikamaru, if you weren't so lazy, I would be more at ease." Asma lit a cigarette and said in a half-joking tone.
Shikamaru seemed to him to be good in everything, but his confidence and pursuit of victory were far inferior to his peers, and if Shikamaru could have the same strong confidence in victory as Naruto, he believed that with his outstanding wisdom, he would definitely be able to go far in a month.
It's a pity that Shikamaru doesn't think so at all here, and he said with a disgusted face when he heard this, "You just spare me, Asma, didn't I promise you that I wouldn't admit defeat directly when the time comes, what else do you want me to do?" ”
When he spoke, he looked like a salted fish, so Asma could only shake his head helplessly and smoke.
Time passed slowly, and after Ding Ci alone eliminated a full sixteen plates of barbecue, the meal finally came to an end.
The waiter tore off the scraps on the table and gave them the last patches, desserts and hot drinks, Naruto Shikamaru and the others were swept away for the second half of the month's living expenses, and they were ready to go home to gnaw on the old Asma, who was full of food and drink, and was chatting about some things that were not there.
At this time, for some reason, the topic turned to the match between Naruto and Xiao Li.
At this point, Ino looked at Naruto with wide curious eyes and asked, "Did Naruto know Asma-sensei before?" ”
"Why do you ask?" Naruto was slightly stunned, not understanding where Ino was starting with this.
"It's nothing, I just think the two of you have similar moves, so I'll guess randomly." After Ino finished speaking, he also felt a little strange, and then added, "Na, it's the move you made to break Xiao Li Biaolianhua before, it looks very similar to Teacher Asma's move, you think so too, isn't it Ding Ci?" ”
Obviously, Ino was referring to Naruto's Merry Blade here.
"You're going to say that...... It seems to be very similar. Hearing this, Ding Ci temporarily put down the patch in his hand, looked up and recalled, "It's both two blue chakra knives, but Naruto is directly protruding from the side of his arm, which looks weird, and it is not as convenient as Sensei Asma." ”
Ding Ci thought of Asma's Feiyan Belt and said with a little preconception.
