Chapter 41: The Night Outside the Campfire
However, none of this has anything to do with Sasuke, and these major events that may affect the pattern of the ninja world are not what he needs to worry about now.
After returning to Konoha and receiving the mission reward to enrich the small treasury, what he wanted to do most was to buy all of Konoha's special foods, whether it was snacks, potato chips, drinks or deli sushi rice - these would not go bad in that magical folding bag anyway.
Solstice technology, shocking.
Sasuke has never been good at expressing his feelings for others in words, but putting them into action.
The ones that are ready to buy are naturally for Paimon, and tasting all kinds of food that Paimon has never eaten is Paimon's greatest hobby.
"Ahh Good afternoon, Sasuke! Long time no see. ā
Shortly after Sasuke left the house, about to go shopping at the market, a girl called out to her.
As soon as Sasuke turned around, he was hugged by a girl with long blond hair.
Yamanaka Ino.
āā¦ā¦ Let go of me, you're sticking too close. ā
Sasuke gently pushed Ino away, but he didn't expect that Ino was like a snake, although his body was pushed away, but his hands were immediately wrapped around his arms again.
Sasuke, who failed to break free several times and was afraid of hurting Ino hard, could only let her hold him, which this guy seemed to like like this when he was in ninja school.
If only Sakura were here, she could disturb her for a while.
"I really didn't expect to meet Sasuke today, I heard that your group didn't go out of the village on a mission? How to be here. ā
Seeing that Sasuke didn't refuse further, Ino was in a good mood, humming a small tune and shaking Sasuke's arm, and asked in a slightly coquettish tone.
"I encountered some trouble, and the difficulty of the task was temporarily increased, and it was not suitable for us to continue to participate, so I came back first."
Sasuke said lightly.
"Huh? Temporarily increase the difficulty of the task? The first time I heard about it, what level of mission did it become? ā
āAćā
"A-rank mission! That kind of task seems to be the only one that the teachers are qualified to perform, right? No wonder that. ā
"So what are you going to do now? Training? ā
Sasuke shook his head.
"I'm going to go buy some snacks."
"Grab some snacks?"
Ino's inner rival radar sounded.
Sasuke is not Dingji, and I didn't see him like to eat snacks when he was in ninja school, and now he is in a group with Sakura, is it possible that he was given the moon by the water building?
Is it because they have a relationship with a mission together?
It's so angry! Obviously, she was the first to ......
Why wasn't she the one who was assigned to the seventh class with Sasuke in the first place?
Ino tightened his arm, bringing Sasuke's arm closer to her heart, and then asked tentatively:
"Did you buy it for Sakura?"
Sasuke looked puzzled when he asked this question.
"Why should I buy those for Sakura?"
"Huh? Isn't it Sakura? That's good."
Ino, who heard that it was not Sakura, breathed a sigh of relief, and then continued to ask:
"Who did you buy it for?"
āā¦ā¦ A little guy who can eat. ā
Thinking of Paimon's smiling face and the way she looked when she slept on her shoulder, Sasuke's expression softened unconsciously.
It was the first time Ino had seen such an expression on Sasuke's perennially cold face, and this contrast made her feel like her heart was beating half a beat slower for a while.
The little one who can eat? Is it a pet?
Forget it, it doesn't matter, as long as it's not Sakura.
So she volunteered:
"Then Sasuke must not know which snacks are more delicious, I'll go buy them with you."
Ino's words surprised Sasuke a little.
"You know?"
"Of course, Sasuke, you still don't understand girls at all, what girls like to eat most is all kinds of delicious snacks."
"And you forget, Ding Ci is in a group with us, and that guy's favorite thing is to eat all kinds of snacks, and as his teammate, of course, he knows something."
Sasuke was right when he heard it, Ding Ji basically always had several different snacks in his hands when he was in the ninja school, and he changed his tricks every day, so he could indeed be regarded as an expert in this area.
If you were to recommend it for Naruto, you might recommend various forms of ramen noodles or instant cup noodles.
"Then please."
ā¦ā¦
This afternoon was probably the happiest afternoon in Ino's time, and she and Sasuke were like a little couple shuttling through the streets of Konoha and shopping for all kinds of snacks, and most importantly, Sakura didn't bother them yet.
And Sasuke sent a bag of snacks to himself, although he said that it was a thank you gift for helping, but Sasuke is such a cold person to give himself such a bag of snacks, proving that he has me in his heart.
This is considered a success in stealing your home, right?
Hee-hee, if he had taken Sasuke first, I wonder what kind of expression Sakura would have?
This time I might have won.
In this atmosphere that Ino thinks is very ambiguous, she and Sasuke are separated.
"Sasuke-kun, if you still need help with this kind of help in the future, remember to come to me."
"Hmm."
After Ino left, Sasuke finally breathed a sigh of relief and returned home.
Shopping with women is really a torture, and even the physique of a ninja is difficult to handle.
After stuffing the snacks and various deli drinks he bought today into a folding bag, Sasuke hesitated slightly, and finally chose to stuff some of the cup of Ichiraku ramen into it.
Maybe Paimon's taste will be the same as Naruto's?
After doing all this, Sasuke continued his daily cultivation and then looked forward to the arrival of the night.
As night fell, Sasuke slept peacefully.
ā¦ā¦
"Wow! Assist...... Sasuke! These...... These are all prepared for me by you? You...... You...... Snacks in your world? ā
Teyvat, under the windswept tree, Paimon awakens after a few hours of slumber, and is so excited that she can't even speak.
"Quick, quick, pinch your own arm."
"Pinch my own arm?"
Sasuke was a little confused, and then did so.
"Does it hurt?"
Paimon asked, with stars in his eyes.
āā¦ā¦ Hurt. ā
"Great! I'm not dreaming. ā
Paimon cheered, then circled around Sasuke's bonfire, then opened a bag of chips and began to feast.
"Are you sure you're dreaming, why do you want me to pinch my arm?"
Sasuke gave Paimon a suspicious look.
"Well, it's not that I'm afraid of pain, you can pinch it for me."
Paimon lifted the packet of chips and poured it into his mouth like a whirlpool.
"Hmm...... Is this the food of another world? The crunchy, crackling texture and the same spicy flavor as the Jueyun pepper pepper made me feel like if I could eat these chips every day, I would die without regrets. ā
With a misty eye, she shook the bag of potato chips and found that the bottom of the bag still contained the last of the largest potato chips.
After hesitating for a moment, she took out the potato chip with her small hand and handed it to Sasuke's mouth.
"Well, Paimon won't eat the last slice, so I'll give it to you."
"Food is the most delicious when you have to share it with a partner."
At this time, it was already night, and Sasuke's bonfire was dancing in the night, reflecting Paimon's small body holding potato chips.
The night outside the campfire and the fiery Paimon in the night.
This warmth that he had only felt when he was a child at Itachi Uchiha enveloped Sasuke again.
It's just that he's more like the Uchiha Itachi back then, and Paimon is his own when he was a kid.
"Click."
Sasuke bites down on the potato chips Paimon handed him.
"Well, it's really delicious."
