"That's it."

Kakashi and the duo stood in front of a three-story building.

"Wow! Are all three floors for us? ”

Ai Ye's eyes widened, and he looked at the three-story building in front of him in surprise and said, "Didn't you see it, the Hokage is so generous?" ”

"Huh?"

Kakashi paused as he climbed the stairs, turned his head and said to Ai Ye, who seemed to have thought of something, so his expression of surprise was stuck on his face, "How is it possible, 301 on the third floor is the room for the two of you." ”

Moments later......

Kakashi stood in front of 301 with an unhappy Aino and Sakuraku, who had a slightly embarrassed smile.

"Let's go in and have a look." Kakashi took out the key he had just taken from the landlord, opened the door, and gave up a position to the two of them, "Actually, this house is quite big, you can see it by looking at it." ”

'Not bad......

This is Sakuraku's first impression of this room, although it is not as luxurious as the decoration of the house in the tech world, but it is reasonable as a residence.

After entering the door, there is a living room, with a square table and four chairs stacked on top of each other in the center of the room, and a double bed on the left, with a window above the double bed and a small balcony for potted plants.

Further inside is a simple kitchen with a refrigerator, microwave, kettle, gas stove, and to the right of the kitchen is a bathroom with a shower, mirror, and a bathtub just the size of Sakuraku's height.

The total area is about 50 to 60 square meters, which is enough for two people.

"Thank you, I'm very satisfied with this accommodation."

Sakuraku, who had been walking around the house, smiled at Kakashi, who was standing at the door, and said, "I don't know how much the rent is a month......"

"Hokage-sama will spare you."

Kakashi tossed the key to Sakura and said, "Since Hokage-sama asked the two of you to follow me, then you two will also go to the Konoha training ground at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, as for where the training ground is......"

Kakashi pointed to Aino, who was already lying on the double bed and was about to fall asleep, and said, "Aren't you two going to look for Sakura later, just ask her." ”

"Okay."

Sakuraku glanced at Ai Ye, who was lying on the bed in a large shape, and said to Kakashi with a smile, "I wonder if you have an instruction book on chakra refining?" Can you lend us a look? ”

"Chakra refining?"

Kakashi, who was just about to leave, looked at Sakuraku a little puzzled, "What do you want that thing for?" ”

"Just wanted to learn from it."

Sakuraku took out the excuse that she had discussed with Ai Ye before and explained: "The two of us have not experienced systematic learning, and how to refine chakra was also taught to us by the master, so I want to see if there is any difference between what you learn and what the master taught us." ”

Kakashi scratched his head when he heard this, and showed a look of embarrassment, "I want to lend it to you too, but I don't have it in my hand." ”

"Alright then......"

Sakuraku nodded a little disappointed.

"But Sakura should have."

Kakashi said to Sakuraku, who had a disappointed expression, "They just graduated from the ninja school, and Sakura should keep that kind of basic book, but Naruto and Sasuke may not." ”

"Then I'll ask Sakura later."

Sakuraku said as she glanced at Ai Ye, who was already drooling, and then smiled and pushed Kakashi towards the door, "It's not too early, Mr. Kakashi, you can go back first." ”

And so it started to drive people out. ’

Kakashi, who was pushed out of the door by Sakuraku, pulled his mask and remembered the meeting at eight o'clock tomorrow, he was afraid that Sakuraku would forget, so he turned his head and opened his mouth to remind, "Eight ...... tomorrow morning"

Bang.

In response to Kakashi, the sound of the iron door closing, he looked at the steel security door with the number 301 in front of him, and the corner of his eye twitched subconsciously.

……

"Hoo ......"

Sakuraku, who had chased Kakashi away, stood behind the door and breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and walked over to Aino, who had already begun to undress.

"Don't you know Kakashi hasn't left just now?" ’

Sakuraku folded Ai Ye's clothes that she threw on the ground, and looked at Ai Ye helplessly, "I have time for her to change this problem, really...... It's going to catch a cold. ’

After placing the folded clothes on the square table in the living room, Sakuraku glanced at the clock hanging on the wall.

'It's eleven o'clock, it's time to eat. ’

Sakuraku thought as she walked towards the kitchen.

But after a few seconds, Sakura fell into deep thought as she clasped her hands to her chest and looked at the empty refrigerator in front of her.

……

An hour later, Sakura's house was downstairs......

"Sorry, I waited."

Sakura hurriedly ran out in casual clothes, looking at the lonely Sakura, as if she was looking for something.

"Ai Ye's words are sleeping at home now."

Sakuraku, of course, knew what Sakura was looking for.

"Ah, that's right."

Sakura was obviously a little disappointed, after all, she was just a child, and she hadn't learned to hide her emotions yet.

"But Sister Sakuraku, you're so good, how did you find it yourself?"

“…… Uh, Kakashi I asked. ”

Sakura told a little lie here, well, there's no way, if Sakura knows that she is in the east of the village, the family finally found it...... I still want to keep a little bit of the image of being a senior.

"What about Naruto and Sasuke?"

Sakuraku didn't want to continue on this topic for too long, so she decisively diverted the topic and said, "Aren't the two of them coming?" ”

"It should be almost there."

Sakura was also a little unsure, "My house is the closest to the mission hall, but Sasuke and Naruto are a bit far away. ”

"Sakurara-san!!"

As soon as Sakura's words fell, Naruto's silly voice reached the ears of the two, and Sakuraku followed the prestige, only to see Sasuke following Naruto with a disgusted face, while Naruto was running towards him all the way.

"Pay attention to the image!"

Sakuraku stretched out his right hand and slapped Naruto, who was coming towards Sakura-chan who was hiding behind him, to the ground in mid-air, "Can't you learn from Sasuke's stability?" ”

"I don't want to, then I won't be me!"

Naruto, who got up from the ground, glanced at Sakuraku, and then reacted exactly like Sakura, and Sasuke, who followed closely, also looked around and asked curiously, "Sakuraraku-san, where is Aino?" ”

"The girl fell asleep in the rental house."

Sakura was helpless, so she could only explain again, "I saw that she slept quite soundly, so I didn't call her." ”

"That's right."

Naruto scratched his head and asked Sakurara, "Sakuraro-san, do you have any places you want to go?" I know of a ramen shop that is particularly delicious! ”

"You're really catching a guy and you're going to promote Ichiraku ramen."

Sasuke glanced at Naruto and said to Sakuraku, "Sister Sakuraro, I know a place that is especially suitable for cultivation, it's very quiet, and no one disturbs you, so let's go there." ”

“…… You're not much different from Naruto. ”

Sakuraku looked at the ramen maniac and cultivation maniac in front of her with a little headache, "Can't you do something else during the hard rest time?" ”

"Shouldn't I eat ramen/practice during my break?"

Naruto and Sasuke said in unison, then stunned at the same time, turning their heads to look at each other with burning eyes.

"These two are really a good match in a sense."

Sakuraku looked at the two in front of her who were fighting fiercely with her eyes a little speechlessly, and then turned her head to look at Sakura-chan, who was staring at Sasuke's side face in a daze, and she suddenly felt that Kakashi didn't seem to be easy.

Time passed little by little, and fifteen minutes later, Naruto and Sasuke, who were staring at the corners of their eyes with sourness, raised their hands and rubbed their eyes at the same time, and at the same time, they felt that they couldn't tell the difference between staring at each other with such big eyes, so they ......

"Sakuraku-san! You said! Is it to eat ramen or to practice! ”

After Sakura looked at Naruto and Sasuke expressionlessly, she turned her head to Sakura, who was still in a daze, and asked, "Sakura-chan, do you know where Konoha's market is?" ”

"Hey!"

Sakura, who was suddenly accosted by Sakura, was stunned, and then immediately reacted and said, "Oh, it's a place to buy vegetables, right, I often go with my mother, Sister Sakuraro, do you want to buy vegetables?" ”

"Hmm."

After ignoring Naruto and Sasuke, Sakuraku smiled and said to Sakura, "I'm still pretty good at cooking, why don't you go to my house for dinner in the evening, and I'll show you two hands." ”

"Okay!"

Sakura clapped her hands flattered and said, "Then I'll also make two dishes and let Master taste my craftsmanship." ”

"Yes."

"Now, Sakuraku-san, what are you best at?"

"My word ......"

The two of them walked towards Konoha's market as they spoke, while Naruto and Sasuke stood stunned and watched their backs get farther and farther away......

"What now?"

The corners of Naruto's mouth twitched, and he turned his head to Sasuke and asked, "Is Sakurara-san-san angry?" ”

“…… I don't know. ”

"Then should we chase after us?"

After Sasuke glanced at the stunned Naruto, he didn't respond to him, but directly stepped away and chased after Sakuraku and Sakura.

And the stunned Naruto stood in place, waiting for Sasuke's figure to be almost out of sight before reacting, "Hey! Wait for me!! ”

……

It was five o'clock in the evening, and the cherry blossoms fell in front of the house......

"You wait at the door, I'll go in and call Ai Ye up."

Sakuraku stood in the hallway, said to the three people standing outside the door carrying large bags and small bags, and closed the door.

"Why don't you let us in?"

"Didn't they all say that Ai Ye is sleeping, why do you have so many questions."

Sasuke put the vegetables and meat he had been carrying all the way to the ground, and after moving his shoulders a few times, he asked Naruto, who was puzzled, "Why are you still carrying things, aren't you tired?" ”

"I want to put it on the ground too."

I saw Naruto crying with a sad face and lifted the plastic bag in his hand, "But it's an egg in it, I'm afraid it will break if it is put on the ground." ”

Sasuke looked sympathetic when he heard this, patted Naruto on the shoulder, and just as he was about to say something, the door to Sakuraku's house opened.

"Come in, just put something on the table."

"Oh!"

After the trio who got permission to enter the house excitedly answered, they all went into Sakuraku's rental house.

"Ah~~~~ Good evening~~~" Ai Ye, who yawned, greeted the trio who came to her house in the pajamas that Sakuraku had taken out for her from another dimensional space.

"Good evening, Master/Ai Ye."

After the trio who put down the ingredients responded to Ai Ye, Naruto and Sasuke walked curiously in the direction of the kitchen, as if they wanted to see what this rental house was like, while Sakura ran in front of Ai Ye with small steps, took out a book from his arms and handed it to Ai Ye, "This is what Sakurara-sa sister said I should give to Master for you." ”

"Huh?"

The sleepy-eyed Ai Ye rubbed his eyes and took the book Sakura handed to him, only to see six big characters written on it.

Chakra Refining

'Oh, by the way, that's what I asked Sakuraku-sama to take care of Kakashi. ’

"Thanks, Sakura-chan."

Ai Ye nodded to Sakura, thanked him, and looked curiously towards the kitchen, "Are you here to accompany Sakura to buy groceries?" ”

"Yes, yes."

Sakura sat next to Ai Ye and said with a smile, "Sister Sakuraku said to cook for us in the evening." ”

"Then you're in for a treat."

Ai Ye glanced at the ingredients on the table and said with a smile: "Sister Sakuraluo's craftsmanship is very good, at least in my impression, no one cooks better than Sister Sakuraro!" ”

"Stop chatting, go get the ingredients for me!"

Sakuraku poked her head out of the kitchen and shouted to Aino and Sakura, "Sakura-chan is here too, help me out." ”

Then he turned his head and shouted to the bathroom, "Naruto, Sasuke!" Stop playing in the bathroom and come out and help set up the table and chairs. ”

"Sister Sakuraluo, there seems to be one less chair."

"Huh?"

Sakura turned her head in confusion and found Ai Ye standing at the table a little awkwardly, she nodded, and found that there were only four chairs.

"You come over here and help me get the ingredients first."

Then he ordered Naruto and Sasuke, who had just come out of the bathroom, "You two, go and move the table to the bed, there is no way to leave one chair, I'll sit on the bed and eat." ”

"Oh, okay."

"Sakura, you help me wash the vegetables."

"Okay."

"Ai Ye, you put the extra ingredients in the refrigerator, you should know what to freeze and what to refrige."

"Know, know, keep meat refrigerated, vegetables and fruits frozen, right?"

"You! Forget it, Sakura-chan, you go put the ingredients, Ai Ye, you come over and help wash the vegetables! ”

"What are you doing! You still dislike me. ”

"Less nonsense, come and help!"

"Naruto, Sasuke, come over and get my washed dishes when you're done...... Don't take the bowl yet, I'll serve you dinner later. ”

"Good!"

It was noisy for nearly an hour......

"That's the last course."

Sakuraki smiled and put the sweet and sour loin that had just come out of the pot on the table, wiped his hands with his apron, glanced at the table full of food and Naruto and Aino, who had already begun to drool, smiled and said, "You guys eat first, I'll go clean up the kitchen." ”

"Good !!"

Hearing this, Naruto grabbed his chopsticks and wanted to pick up the vegetables, but Aino reached out and slapped Naruto at a faster speed.

Naruto, who was hurt by the slap, timidly put down his chopsticks and looked at Ai Ye in confusion, hoping to get an explanation, but Ai Ye put his hands on his chest and snorted dissatisfied.

"Sister Sakuraluo made a table of meals, why are you embarrassed to be the first to move chopsticks."

Sasuke glanced at Naruto, who was a little aggrieved, and explained for Aino, "This is respect, remember it later." ”

Naruto thought about it when he heard this, and found that it seemed to be the case, so he immediately scratched his head in embarrassment and said, "I see." ”

"Sasuke still has a good tutor. ’

Sakuraku, who was brushing the pot in the kitchen, heard Sasuke's words and smiled with satisfaction, although she didn't care about the little things, but the little things often saw something deeper.

You said Sasuke he didn't want to eat, he wanted to eat too, but he could restrain himself, and Naruto could restrain himself, but after getting permission, he couldn't control it, and it could be seen that no one seemed to teach Naruto the etiquette that he should pay attention to when eating.

Plus the strange eyes of the villagers at that time. ’

Sakuraku sighed slightly, put the cleaned pot away, took off her apron and walked towards the dining table while saying with a smile: "Let's eat, today is my reception banquet with Ai Ye, if the rice is not enough, I said that I made a big pot." ”

"Oh!!"

After the trio Kaai Ye saw Sakuraku sit down, he directly picked up the chopsticks and began to eat Hasai, it seemed that they were all hungry, and Sakuraku took a look at Naruto who ate the most.

I hope you'll have a better time in the future. ’
