Chapter 657: Reasons for Fighting for It [I]
"That's right, Jiraiya is an adult, but what about the excellent teacher who taught the four generations of Hokage...... With his personal guidance, when the children come back, it should be a big surprise for us. β
As one of the former Konoha Three Ninjas, Jiraiya's reputation has obviously not declined with the frequent outings over the years. On the contrary, in the case of cultivating Bo Feng Shuimen into a young and powerful fourth-generation Hokage, the prestige of Jiraiya in Konoha Village has become higher and higher. So much so that after hearing Dingza's words, Lu Jiu, who had always been thoughtful, didn't think about it, so he spoke in favor of Dingza's idea. Then the words paused slightly, as if suddenly on a whim, hinting at his two old buddies.
"By the way, speaking of 'pig deer butterfly'...... It's rare for us to get together, and we haven't done it for a long time, do you want to do 'that' once in a long time? β
'Uh-oh!' What's? All right! β
"No problem! That's what I was about to say! β
"So, let's get started......"
Of course, after years of fighting side by side and cultivating a tacit understanding, even if Lu Jiu didn't say it explicitly, Hai Yi and Ding Za could quickly guess what 'that' in Lu Jiu's mouth was. Immediately, when these two old guys agreed, Lu Jiu, who became more and more excited, simply took the lead and stood up. And then cooperate with each other, they have put up the formation POSS that I used to feel ashamed of, but now I miss it a lot.
"Formation - pigs, deer, butterflies!"
"Well, sure enough, we're not old enough to retire...... This formation is really handsome as always! β
"Hahaha! Who's to say it isn't? Even if you're old, it's great to have friends you can enjoy together! β
"yes, it feels great!"
And after putting on this mid-second explosive attack posture, Lu Jiu and the others seemed to have returned to their high-spirited youth, and they became more and more satisfied and happy. Immediately, in order to avoid being noticed by others about this shameful scene, the three of them quickly lifted the sortie formation while laughing and talking, as if nothing had happened, and slowly sat down cross-legged again.
"Huh? Speaking of which, is it my delusion...... Why did I always feel that someone was watching me from ...... just now? β
At the same time, Haiyi, who is a perceptual ninja, feels more and more clearly that there are people nearby who are observing him, and there are more than one or two. So much so that after a slight pause, after making sure that this feeling was not caused by alcohol, he muttered to himself, and instinctively turned sideways in the direction of the source of the strange sensation that he had roughly searched, and glanced at it casually.
"Huh? That...... Could that be ......?! β
It's just that when Hai Yi, who was half-drunk and half-awake, saw clearly where this sense of being watched came from, the wine that was gradually rising was like being poured a basin of cold water on his head, and he instantly sobered up. Even under the strange gaze of the person in front of him, he raised his hand tremblingly and rubbed his eyes, confirming whether the picture he saw with his own eyes was some kind of illusion. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he exclaimed in disbelief.
"Well...... Ino ββ?! β
That's right, standing at the door of the izakaya at the moment, crying and laughing at the older generation of pig deer butterflies, it is the new generation of pig deer butterflies who have just returned from Miaomu Mountain and are about to go to the barbecue restaurant next to the izakaya to comfort the five internal organs temple that they have endured and eaten insects for three years, but by mistake, they happened to see their father, the new generation of pig deer butterfly team in the shameful shape posed!
Of course, in the trio of Pig Deer Butterfly, it was because of Naruto and his party that they went to the barbecue restaurant together, which made this extremely rare scene, and the others were naturally fortunate enough to see it clearly. Even with the original self-entertaining entertainment program, before you know it, it has become a shameful performance of "public execution"!
"Daddy! Why are you drinking again! β
In this case, even Naruto and his party didn't say anything quite interestingly, and even walked directly into the barbecue restaurant as if they hadn't seen it, leaving only the Pig Deer Butterfly trio itself to be alone and chat with the fathers who had unexpectedly reunited in advance. But for thin-skinned girls, this shameful play of "public execution" is enough to make Ino's face seem to be burned red, and it quickly heats up. After seeing his father, he finally realized his existence, and simply stepped straight into the izakaya, while deliberately lengthening his tone in order to hide his embarrassment and dissatisfaction, and scared half-jokingly and half-seriously.
"If I'm not mistaken, it's not the weekend, right? Drink on weekdays and let mom know, you'll ......"
"Really...... What a Ino! When did you come back? Why don't you say hello beforehand......"
As soon as the words fell, this familiar tone made Hai Yi completely sure that the person in front of him was indeed the baby daughter he had been thinking about for the past three years. And for the return of the child who has been away from home for many years, I feel extremely happy in my heart, but also because of Ino's "threatening" words, I deliberately cooperate with my heart, showing a little aggrieved and afraid.
"Ahem, that ...... Well, isn't it rare for old friends to get together and drink a little wine...... Now, Ino, this matter, but don't tell your mother. If she had known, Daddy would have to sleep on the couch tonight! β
At the same time, after seeing his father who had been absent for three years, even Shikamaru, who had a precocious personality, inevitably became emotional.
It's a pity that he didn't dare to step directly into the izakaya like Ino and go to greet his father.
Because......
At this moment, Temari, who has already secured the identity of his fiancΓ©e, is beside Shikamaru, looking at the strange behavior of his fathers with curiosity. And then with Shikamaru himself, he understands his father's character......
If this is with Temari, just walk in with such a big grin, and greet Lu Jiu directly, Lu Jiu's attention will definitely be instantly focused on Temari's body. Then he directly dragged Shikamaru aside, and asked with gossip on his face, why did Shikamaru, who used to think that girls were troublesome, directly "kidnap" a daughter-in-law for him without making a sound, right? !
"Tsk...... Ahh......h
Fortunately, although Shikamaru was born, he perfectly inherited his father's lazy personality, and he hates to take over troublesome things the most. But because of this, Shikamaru has also passed down the fine family tradition of strict wife control - or, it should be said that another way of spoiling his wife - has also been passed down. So much so that before he could come up with a proper solution, Ino had already taken the lead in walking in, and after announcing the return of his group to his fathers, Shikamaru clenched his teeth, simply turned his head a little, bowed to the unconscious hand, and admonished word by word.
"Can you wait for me here for a moment, Temari...... How about I'm going to say hi to my dad first, and then I'll introduce you to him, how about I? β
"Sure enough, the one over there is your father...... No wonder the two of you look almost carved out of the same mold! β
Of course, although Temari has a more straightforward personality, it doesn't mean that she, like the prince, doesn't have such a thing as emotional intelligence. So much so that after hearing Shikamaru's words, he was only stunned for a moment, and the corners of his mouth rose when he bowed, and while pretending to sigh normally, he stretched out his hand and patted Shikamaru's shoulder gently, and his expression naturally cheered for Shikamaru.
"Go, go, it's just to meet your own father, why do you want to ask for my opinion? Mother-in-law and mother-in-law, but not like you at all...... When you're almost done, call me again, and I'll be waiting for you here. β
"Really...... So, I'm sorry Temari, just wait for me here for a while, I'll settle this matter soon. β
After getting Temari's response, the last trace of hesitation left in Shikamaru's eyes was gone. Then he put his hands in his pockets, and while promising gently, he strode into the izakaya. and then commented on the eyes of his fathers, and took over the current words with the same appearance as always, and seriously ridiculed and "blackmailed" his father.
"Sleeping on the couch? Are you kidding, Uncle Haiyi, that kind of thing should only my mother can do...... Speaking of which, this time, I got a big grip, Daddy. What are you going to do to make me selectively amnesia? β
"Humph! The patriarch of my dignified Nara clan, a manly man, what's wrong with drinking some wine? Do you have to get her consent? Don't say she knows, even if she's here, I'll drink it! β
And just as Shikamaru thought, in order to keep the image of what little he had left in front of his juniors and old guys, plus his own "tigress", he was indeed not nearby now, which made Shikahisa seem to be drunk, and at the same time, he blushed with an old face, and retorted with a stiff mouth. But after putting down the cruel words, he didn't forget to change the topic with a strong desire to survive, while secretly scrubbing and calculating how to teach himself an embarrassing "cheating" son at the end of the party.
"Well, let's not talk about that, Haiyi's question, I was also about to ask you...... When did you come back? β
"Whew...... Deliciousββ! Sure enough, the food in the village was the best! β
Fortunately, compared to Shikamaru and Temari, as foodies, the father and son of Ding Zuo communicate very easily - just Ding Zuo moved his body slightly to sit in, making room for Ding Ci at the same time, and adding an extra pair of chopsticks to him, so that in the past three years, Ding Ji, who was about to eat insects and vomit, could comfort his tongue a little before the barbecue banquet began. So much so that after feasting and stuffing his mouth to the brim, Ding Ji let out a complicated exclamation, and after hearing Hai Yi and Lu Jiu's questions one after another, he replied directly and simply and clearly.
"We're all back today, and we haven't been in the village for long!"
"Really? In this way, Jiraiya and the others have all returned to the village...... Then, with the two of them sitting in the village, it must be much easier to work in the future. β
Seeing that under Ding Ci's instinctive response, after successfully shifting the topic elsewhere, Lu Jiu's red old face was able to recover a little. Then, as if to make people completely forget the embarrassing topic just now, or really suddenly, they remembered something, and said to themselves pointedly.
"Speaking of work...... It seems that from the very beginning, we chose to party and drink just to relieve the pressure of work a little, right? But why do I always feel like we're dating someone else...... It's the one who's been the one I've seen in a long time yesterday......"
"Yes, once in a while, we will have a meal together......"
As soon as Lu Jiu's voice fell, Hai Yi finally realized where the strange feeling that this party, from the beginning to the present, had shrouded his heart from beginning to end, came from. So that he suddenly realized, and responded and echoed, but for a while, he really couldn't remember who the fourth person invited was, and his brows were furrowed and he groaned in distress.
"Who's that, though......?"
"I feel that way too...... But I can't remember who it is. β
"Hey, hey, you forget your companions, you really become an old fool, right?"
"Probably, hahahaββ!"
And just as the older generation of the pig, deer and butterfly trio, because of the return of the children, they became more and more happy in the midst of talking and laughing......
On the other side of the older generation of the Pig Deer Butterfly Trio, who was invited to dinner by the older generation of the Pig Deer Butterfly Trio, but now it is completely ignored and forgotten, Shino's father, the oil girl Shio, is sitting cross-legged alone with his back against the screen. While silently tasting the tea in his hand, which was already cold, and there was not much left.
"Hey! Guest! β
It was also at this time that Xiao Er, who was busy in the store, passed by Shio's side with the empty plate that had just been removed from the adjacent table. Then after seeing Shio sitting here alone, but there was no food on the table, he mistakenly thought that Xiao Er, who had just sat in the store and was waiting for the customer to order, asked Shio with that professional smile.
"Are you alone? Want something? β
ββ¦β¦ ...... about this matter"
It's just that Xiao Er's habitual behavior inadvertently touched Shio's sore spot. So that his brows became more and more furrowed, and Shio was in a short silence, and after holding back his angry thoughts a little, he responded word by word in that extremely complex tone.
"I should have ordered food from you two hours ago......"
