Chapter 42 Invitation
"Konoha is really prosperous!"
Shikamaru and Shiro walk the streets of Konoha with pedestrians coming and going. Konoha Village is more of a city than a village.
It's rich in supplies, redundant and intractable overcrowding, a high population, and the world's most powerful ninja army.
After the Third Ninja World War, other places were having a headache for the rapid loss of population and poor supplies, but here, a group of Konoha high-level people were having a headache for the rapidly accelerating prosperity.
"My lord, where are we going?"
Shiro followed behind Shikamaru, and even though he was wearing men's clothes now, his delicate appearance revealed a heroic spirit that only women have.
"I heard that there is a good barbecue here, let's go check it out!"
Shikamaru and Shiro turned a corner, and before passing through the alley, the sign of Q Kee Barbecue was clearly visible.
It's just that before the two of them arrived, a group of small children were fighting in the alley.
Shikamaru looked around, led by Naruto and Sasuke, who were fighting with another group of ninja second generations with a group of Konoha second generations.
Since the Nine-Tails attack didn't happen, the current Nine-Tails Pillar Force is still Naruto's mother, Kushina. I don't know if it's because he hasn't been affected by the Nine-Tails Chakra, the current Naruto actually inherited the excellent appearance of his father Bo Feng Shui Gate and his mother Kushina. Not only is he very handsome, not inferior to Sasuke next to him, but also, I heard that his talent is also good.
Nara Tama took Shikamaru's place among the Konoha Twelve and formed a new generation of Pig Deer Butterfly with Yamanaka Ino and Akido Dingji. And the strength that Naruto has shown since he was a child is also the top among the twelve small powerhouses of Konoha, and he doesn't give people that feeling of a crane tail at all.
The war of a group of bear children ended in victory on the side of Naruto and Sasuke. Just as Naruto's face was blue and purple but he was still shouting and screaming, Sasuke, who was following him, suddenly saw the two of them.
To be precise, his gaze touched Shiroku beside Shikamaru, his face suddenly turned a little red, and the whole person was a lot quieter.
At this time, Naruto also seemed to notice Shikamaru. He shouted, "It's Shikamaru and Shiro!" ”
Shikamaru smiled in return, but saw Naruto running over, and said with a big grin: "Shikamaru and Shiro, we are about to go to the barbecue restaurant in front, let's go together!" I'm in for a treat! ”
The current Naruto is very different from the Naruto in Shikamaru's memory, but the only thing that hasn't changed is his self-cooked aura.
Although Shikamaru has only met Naruto two or three times since he returned to Konoha, Naruto is now familiar with him like an old friend for many years.
"I heard that this shop is very good, and we are going to go too!"
"The yakiniku and Uncle Ichiraku's ramen are my favorites. If you have a chance, let's go to Uncle Ichiraku's ramen shop together! ”
Naruto led the way in front, Shikamaru and Shiro followed, and Sasuke was in the back, looking at Shiro twice, intentionally or unintentionally.
Walking into the barbecue restaurant, I was greeted by the trio of pigs, deer and butterflies, and Akido Dingji was holding a skewer of barbecue and eating Haisai's.
"Is it Xiaoyu? Just sit together! ”
Naruto seemed to be very familiar with Shikamaru's sister Naratama, and pulled Shikamaru and the others to sit down.
When Nara Yu saw Shikamaru, he snorted lightly and didn't look over. For Shikamaru, it's love to ignore it.
With Naruto's big talk, although the little strong Shikamaru present was not very familiar with it before, they quickly became familiar with each other.
At the end, when there were only bones left on the table, Naruto touched his stomach and reclined down very comfortably.
"Naruto, thank you for your hospitality today!"
"You're welcome, you're welcome!"
Naruto seemed to be a little overwhelmed, and his whole body was like a frog taking a nap, and even the way he waved his hands was soft.
"Why don't you do it! Next time I come to have a treat, I invite you to my house. My mother's craftsmanship is very good! ”
Shikamaru said with a smile.
When Nara Yu heard this, he snorted. "You probably don't know it yet! During this time, our Nara family had to go to our family's dense forest to collect herbs. Father and mother are going! At this time, the house is in chaos, where does the mother have the control to entertain the Ino and them? ”
"Is that so?"
Shikamaru sighed with some regret. At this time, Sasuke, who had been silently speaking, mustered up his strength and said, "Otherwise!" I invite you to my house. My mother's craftsmanship is also very good! ”
After Sasuke finished speaking, he also glanced at Shiro, who was sitting next to Shikamaru.
Exactly, in the face of Sasuke's invitation, all the Xiaoqiang present, even Naruto put on a difficult face.
"Well, I happened to have something to do that day. I'm afraid I can't go! ”
Qiu Dao Dingji suddenly stood up and said goodbye again and again. Yamanaka Ino and Nara were not much worse off.
When Naruto finally arrived, he stood up as if he remembered something.
"Oops! My mom is still waiting for me to eat at home! Shikamaru, Shiro, Sasuke, we'll see you tomorrow. ”
Naruto was like a good baby at the moment, and he hurriedly stood up and fled as if he had to leave the barbecue restaurant.
Sasuke lowered his head a little unhappily, looking very depressed. It's not that Naruto has any opinions about Sasuke, but the Uchiha family is notoriously xenophobic, and when they think of the atmosphere in their house, Naruto and the others have big heads and hurriedly say goodbye.
"Thank you then, Sasuke!"
Shikamaru sat across from Sasuke, the corners of his mouth slightly curled, and he thanked him.
"Well, I'll come to you tomorrow!"
Hearing Shikamaru promise himself, Sasuke immediately raised his head, his milky little face flushed, and he looked very cute.
........
After the sun sets and separates from Sasuke, Shikamaru and Shiro walk on the way home.
The trail is remote and there are few pedestrians on the side of the road.
Shikamaru suddenly stopped and said, "You've followed us all the way, haven't you shown up yet?" ”
Uchiha Itachi carried a short sword on his back, and in an instant, appeared in front of Shikamaru.
"What exactly are you trying to achieve with my brother?"
The weasel's voice is cold. Now he is not the one who destroyed the entire Uchiha clan, and his heart has been so cold that it is ruthless. The conversation in the barbecue restaurant just now, Uchiha Itachi heard it clearly.
He understood very well that Shikamaru had deliberately thrown out that topic just now, in order to wait for his younger brother to take the bait.
"What? I'm a guest at your Uchiha house, are you still worried that I'll do anything to hurt your brother? ”
Shikamaru smiled, ignored Itachi, and left the place with Shiro.
Looking at the young figure of Shikamaru in the distance, I don't know why? Itachi's heart was full of uneasiness.
