"Today's lunch was also delicious. Thank you, Naruto! (Arigado, Naruto-san!)"
At the door of Naruto's house, Hinata Hinata held her index fingers in her hands, her face flushed and she lowered her head.
[Finally, it’s great that I don’t have to talk to Naruto through other people anymore...]
"Why are you thanking me? You are too polite."
Naruto squinted his eyes and pinched his round cheeks with a smile.
"Besides, thanks to the high-end ingredients you bring every day, when Sasuke and I were training, our physical strength was much better than before."
【Thank you if you want, why do you need to take me with you!】
Next to Naruto, Sasuke, who was casually questioned, showed his speechless half-moon eyes, then walked behind the wall where Hinata could not see, tilted his mouth and muttered in a low voice: "Arigado, Naruto-san!"
However, the next second, Sasuke suddenly felt a dry pain in the front of his calf, which was so painful that he almost shed tears.
"Don't laugh at my sister!"
The person who kicked Sasuke was none other than Hinata Hanabi, who had come to Naruto's house for lunch.
Although she is five years younger than Hinata, she does not have the baby fat of her sister. In addition, her facial features are sharp and she always looks a bit domineering when she frowns when she is angry. In this aspect, she is more like an Uchiha.
At this moment, she was holding a large empty vegetable basket on her head and glaring at Sasuke.
"Why are you kicking someone in the shins?"
Although Sasuke suppressed his voice, it felt like he was shouting, which showed that it was not an ordinary pain.
"My feet can only go so far!"
Hinata Hanabi replied confidently, and then immediately got out of the door, hugged Hinata's waist, and pressed her face against Hinata's belly like a kitten: "Sister, let's go, we have to meet Brother Neji this afternoon.
Let’s train together.”
When Hinata heard the word "training", her fingertips colliding with each other suddenly misaligned, and she was obviously panicked.
"By the way, that, Naruto..."
When she became nervous, she began to hesitate again as before.
"What do you want to say?"
Naruto did not urge him, but comforted him in a gentle voice: "It doesn't matter if you speak slowly."
"I want to say that the 'Comet Salt Baked Ham Big Mac and Explosive Surprise Dumplings' you made for lunch yesterday..."
She spoke this name that was difficult to pronounce and lengthy, but she spoke it extremely fluently.
[How did she come up with such a shameful name for the meal?] Sasuke looked indescribably complicated.
"Hmm, what's wrong?" Naruto nodded, encouraging Hinata to continue.
The latter lowered his head and looked at his sister, then closed his eyes again and said the rest of the words as if he was sinking his boat.
"The taste of that dumpling is very unique, Hanabi likes to eat it! I want to make it for her when I am at home, so I want... I want to learn how to make it with Naruto. I wonder if you are willing to teach me.
?”
【Ah, why don’t I know...】
Hinata Hanabi's face showed a look of confusion that was inappropriate for her age. She just moved her cheek away from Hinata's belly, but was gently pressed back.
"It's no problem for me. I can carry forward the carefully prepared delicacies. I'm happy before it's too late!"
Naruto agreed excitedly, "Then when will Hinata plan to learn?"
"Can we start tomorrow?"
A stiff smile appeared on Hinata's tomato-like red face, "We will start school in three days. Because I am clumsy. If I only learn it once, I may not be able to learn it..."
"You can study for as long as you want!"
Naruto replied: "Besides, I think Hinata, you are more constrained than clumsy! If you can also become confident, I believe that nothing will be difficult for you!"
"Well, really, really?"
Hinata Hinata seemed a little unbelievable.
One of the important reasons why Hinata likes to come to Naruto's house is that the feedback she gets here is always very different from that at home.
"Of course it's true. Like Yiyong, I always say what I have to say!"
Seeing that Hinata was still lowering her head, Naruto took a step forward and put his hand on Hinata's shoulder with a snap, "The new school year is coming, you must be confident!"
Hinata didn't answer, but steam was pouring out from her ears crazily.
Seeing that she was about to fall to the side, Hinata Hanabi stood up with a sigh.
"A-are you okay Hinata?"
Naruto couldn't help but feel worried and retracted his hand.
"She ate too much, she just needs to digest it."
Hinata Hanabi "wrapped" Hinata's right arm around her neck, and helped her sister, whose fever was about to reach forty degrees, to turn around, "Let's go, Naruto-nii! I have to conduct breakthrough training in the next few days, so I won't
Came here with my sister."
Then, she suddenly turned around and glanced at Sasuke with a threatening look, "Brother Sasuke, you must also remember what you said before."
[This guy! If I hadn’t noticed that you are young...]
Sasuke's nose wrinkled, but despite Naruto's confused gaze, he could only wave to Hinata Hanabi.
After the two sisters staggered downstairs, he closed the door forcefully with a loud bang as if to vent his anger.
"Be gentle, this door has only been replaced three years ago."
After Naruto complained, he asked curiously: "Also, what did you promise her? Why don't I know anything?"
"None of your business."
Sasuke snorted coldly, leaned against the door and asked, "Let me ask you, why did you agree to Hinata teach her how to cook?"
This expression of catching the mistress made Naruto a little confused: "What's wrong?"
"You still asked me 'what happened'?"
Sasuke grabbed Naruto's collar angrily, "We were originally scheduled to train together for four hours every morning, but that big eater ate too much, so we had to make more preparations, so we had to go ahead
She came to your house when she was young. Now you have to teach her how to cook, so even more time is wasted!"
"What are you angry about?"
Naruto raised his eyebrows and retorted: "Aren't you also very happy when you eat? When we meet every morning, don't you also ask me expectantly what I'm having for lunch today? Why didn't you say these things at the dinner table?
"
Sasuke had nothing to say and suddenly became quiet. Naruto was so proud that he thought he had hit the former's weakness.
It could be seen that Sasuke kept a cold face and said nothing, which made Naruto a little panicked.
"Why don't you look like that? The worst we can do is postpone our afternoon training for an hour, so that'll be fine..."
"I don't want that woman to squeeze in the rest of my time! Since you like being with her so much, I won't bother you for the remaining three days!"
Sasuke yelled in anger, opened the door suddenly and walked out, not knowing what strange words he said.
When he was about to close the door, he didn't know what was wrong, so he imitated Hinata Hinata's accent and said, "Arigado, Naruto-san!"
It's just that his expression is particularly distorted.
The door crashed into the doorframe again, leaving a confused Naruto scratching his head for no apparent reason.
On the other side, Sasuke returned to his clan like a gust of wind, ran to the lake at the training ground and spit out ten fireballs until the newly bought fish in the lake were dissatisfied and came out of the water in groups to rush.
When he spit out water, Sasuke's anger subsided and turned into a feeling of grievance.
"Damn it, Giyong and Anjuro are gone, and there's been no news from them for seven or eight days.
"Itachi finally came back, but he spent the whole day in the library checking up on ancient history, and saw no one except at night!
"It took a lot of effort to still train with me, but now, even this rough-and-tumble guy has been taken away. I don't know what Hinata Hinata likes about him?"
Sasuke sat on the long bridge in the middle of the lake, manically poking the bridge with his kunai.
"If I had known this, I would have simply accepted the invitation from Ino Yamanaka and the pink-haired girl to have a picnic outside, and I would have felt better."
At this time, a curious voice suddenly came from behind Sasuke: "Oh? Then Ino or the girl with pink hair, which one do you like more, Sasuke?"
"Well, it's hard to say! The gap between me and Yiyong is so big, I really am not in the mood to think about these troubles right now..."
Sasuke was halfway through his answer before he realized there was someone behind him and quickly turned around, "Hey, Mom?! Why are you here?"
"The tone of your words is just like when I caught your dad eating out for late-night snacks a few days ago."
Uchiha Mikoto unbuttoned her Jonin vest, untied her tied hair, and sat next to Sasuke like she would at home.
"I finally came back from completing the commission ahead of schedule, but Sasuke reacted like this. Mom is very sad."
As she spoke, she raised her fingers and rubbed the ends of her eyes.
"Now even Yiyong can't be fooled by this trick. I won't be fooled by you."
Sasuke puffed up his face and turned his head, "It's too much to eavesdrop on others talking to themselves. I won't forgive you."
【Did she hear everything?】
"Is Sasuke planning not to talk to me?"
Uchiha Mikoto stuck her head over, while Sasuke continued to twist his head, refusing to look at his mother.
Uchiha Mikoto turned around and sighed softly: "What a pity. But dad specially asked me to teach you Thunder Release, but now..."
"Really?"
The moment he heard the word "Thunder Release", Sasuke turned around, his dark eyes flashing with desire like a child encountering a new toy.
"Mom wants to teach me Thunder Escape herself?"
"I'm not as good as your father in fire style, I'm not as good as Itachi in shuriken skills, and only thunder style can do it."
Seeing that her son finally turned his head, Uchiha Mikoto swept her fingers through the burnt ends of Sasuke's hair when he fired the fireball.
"Otherwise, Sasuke, from whom do you think you inherited the lightning attribute chakra you were born with?"
"So that's it! But mom, you never told me about being able to escape through lightning."
Sasuke scratched his head and said, "I originally planned to wait for Brother Zhisui to come back and ask him to teach me."
"His lightning attribute was developed when he became a jounin. Mom was born with it. I dare not say anything else. In terms of thunder escape, the whole village is better than me. I am afraid that the only one who is bad at 'Sharingan' is
Cassie is alone."
In the past few years as a jounin leader, Uchiha Mikoto has picked up all the things she threw away after getting married, and even improved a bit - after all, she has to teach students, and she can't just rest on her laurels, she has to keep learning.
, in order to set a good example for new people.
"I heard someone said that Kakashi of the 'Sharingan' can cut off thunder and lightning with his palms. Can mom do the same?"
As long as Sasuke imagined that scene, he would feel excited.
"You mean 'Raiki', right? That mother can't do it."
Sasuke curled his lips in disappointment.
"However, there are hundreds of types of lightning escape ninjutsu, each with different emphasis. Mom's specialty is the use of magnetic fields generated by the properties of lightning."
"Magnet, magnetic field?" Sasuke fiddled with the word in his mouth, but still couldn't figure out what it meant.
"You'll understand when you look at it."
Uchiha Mikoto held a shuriken between the middle finger and index finger of her right hand, and then blue electric sparks appeared between the two fingers. Fine arcs were like cracks on the shuriken, as if it was charging.
Same.
She glanced at Sasuke and ordered: "Just throw the shuriken towards the other side of the lake."
"Okay." Sasuke immediately obeyed, flipping his hands, and the three shurikens on his left and right flew towards the other side in a full arc.
"Watch it, Sasuke."
The electrified shuriken seemed to pop out directly from Uchiha Mikoto's hand, with a blue trajectory arriving first and quickly passing the position of Sasuke's shuriken.
【Is it just faster?】
Sasuke felt a little bored, "What's the use of this? Can it be done soon with a little more force?"
However, just when the six shurikens he threw were about to fall, Uchiha Mikoto formed a seal with one hand, and the charged shurikens suddenly burst out with blue-white light, and the spider web-like thunder and lightning immediately spread, and in the blink of an eye,
Created a connection with Sasuke's six shurikens.
The next moment, the six shurikens that were originally falling seemed to be equipped with rocket thrusters, bursting out at the same speed as the electrified shurikens, and continued to move forward in a circle with the latter as the center of the circle.
The seven shurikens and the power grid connecting them formed a large blue "Thunder Shuriken", which easily flew over the lake of more than thirty meters, and then flew faster and faster, entering like a phantom.
In the woods more than eighty meters away, there was a toothache-inducing sound of trees collapsing.
"Okay, so awesome!"
Sasuke exclaimed in admiration. He didn't expect that several shurikens combined with "charging" could actually cause destruction like multiple explosive symbols.
"It's not over yet."
Mikoto curled her lips and re-formed the seal. The seven shurikens actually flew back at a faster speed than before, and then slowly floated in front of the mother and son, and continued to expand, shrink and deform under Mikoto's command.
, finally cut off the connection with each other as if consciously, and flew back to Uchiha Mikoto's hands.
"How about it, Sasuke, do you want to learn? This is just the most basic application."
Uchiha Mikoto brushed her hair, and was very satisfied with Sasuke's expression of admiration as he usually looked at Fugaku and Itachi.
Sure enough, the latter nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at rice. But Uchiha Mikoto's smile suddenly faded, as if she had seen something unpleasant.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
"Sasuke, did you see that bird?"
Following Mikoto's fingertips, Sasuke found an extremely ordinary sparrow on a big tree on the left.
However, the strange thing is that the sparrow seemed to be observing them. As the two mothers turned their eyes to it, the latter flew away with flapping wings like a discovered thief.
"The ninjutsu I am going to demonstrate next is the same as Kakashi's Raikiri. It can only be done if you have the Sharingan. Sasuke, open the Sharingan and keep an eye on the bird. Have you found its location?"
"Well, I saw it, but it was already two to three hundred meters away..."
Sasuke looked into the air with red eyes. Using the "telescope" function of the Sharingan, it was not difficult to lock onto a flying sparrow.
"It's only two to three hundred meters..."
Uchiha Mikoto's eyes were also blood-red, and her three magatama stones were spinning slowly, but her face had a cold expression that she had never shown at home.
She raised her arms forward and raised them slightly, and arcs of arc flashed back and forth on both arms.
A kunai was induced by the magnetic field between the arms, slowly floated up, head facing outward, and slowly retreated like a sharp arrow on a bow, as if there was an invisible spring on the handle.
"It's almost four hundred meters away..."
Sasuke, who was staring at the sparrow closely, reminded.
At the same time, the kunai seemed to have reached the bottom, like a sharp arrow drawn from a bow.
The next moment, the violent diffusion of air blew Uchiha Mikoto's hair into chaos, and the kunai between her arms turned into an extremely fast orange-yellow comet, which Sasuke could not accurately see with his double Magatama Sharingan.
Its true appearance.
All he knew was that the time from when the kunai was shot to when the sparrow four hundred meters away was blown to pieces by a burst of orange light was probably only half a second!
Although I don't know what hatred my mother had against the poor sparrow, it doesn't matter.
This technique of attacking the enemy from hundreds of meters away is really cool!
[At such a long distance, even if Yiyong's physical skills and fire escape are stronger than mine, he can't hit me at all!]
Thinking of this, Sasuke couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "Mom, I want to learn this!"
"No problem."
Mikoto stood up, her stern face softened. She and Sasuke walked to a tree together and picked up a leaf from the ground.
"Then let's start by getting familiar with the thunder attribute chakra."
After a few minutes, the roots.
"Lord Danzo."
Yamafaze knelt down on one knee, "The surveillance on Uchiha Sasuke failed."
Danzo didn't pay too much attention, and asked while handling official duties: "What's going on?"
"The person responsible for monitoring Uchiha Sasuke was Yamanaka Mi. The sparrow he used was probably killed. Because the control distance was too far, Yamanaka Mi was unable to withdraw his spirit from the bird's brain in time.
So he suffered severe injuries, and now he has fallen into a coma. As for what he saw, we don’t know..."
Shan Feng lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly, but there was no regret in his tone.
Danzo said lightly: "You know what to do."
Shanfeng nodded and continued to ask for instructions: "So, the surveillance of Uchiha Sasuke..."
"There is no need to continue. Monitoring him was just a precaution. Now that Kumogakure and Iwagakure have reached an agreement with us and are willing to send additional people to join this operation, the outcome of Uchiha is already doomed."
Danzo hung up his brush, "But speaking of Uchiha Sasuke... what happened to his twin brother named Giyu? Is there any news from the Kingdom of Water?"
"If there are no accidents, our people should have just come into contact with Orochimaru's people. With such a long distance, it will take at least two to three days for the news to come back."
"It will take so long."
Danzo closed his eyes.
"I just hope that Orochimaru guy won't disappoint me."
