Sasuke didn't comment on the layout of Naruto's house. After all, they were all men, and he would occasionally be too lazy to clean up. Instead, he entered the kitchen of Naruto's house, opened the refrigerator and checked his food.
Looking at the nearly expired milk in the refrigerator and the boxes of instant noodles in the cabinet, he was completely speechless.
"Is this what you usually eat at home?"
Sasuke asked Naruto while holding a bottle of milk that had passed its best tasting period.
"Ah? Yes, what's wrong?"
Naruto was confused.
Sasuke pointed out the best before date on the milk to Naruto.
"The milk is about to expire, don't you know? You still have a lot of milk with this date in the refrigerator. It's only been two days. Have you finished drinking it?"
"Idiot, are you?"
Sakura also came up to take a look, and was a little surprised when she saw the milk tasting period.
"Naruto, drinking expired milk will cause diarrhea."
Naruto scratched his head.
"Is it okay if it's a little overdue for two days? Although I occasionally have diarrhea..."
"What about vegetables and fruits? You only eat instant noodles and expired milk every day. Can you keep up with your nutrition?"
"I know...but cooking is really troublesome..."
Naruto whispered.
"It's incredible that you can live to be so old..."
Sakura covered her face.
"If I don't eat vegetables, my parents will definitely..."
At this point, Sakura suddenly stopped.
She suddenly realized that Naruto's parents were no longer here.
"Sorry, Naruto, I..."
"Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay."
Naruto showed that he didn't care at all.
"It's mainly because I want to spend more time practicing, so I do whatever is convenient for me."
"That can't be like this."
Sasuke shook his head.
"Didn't you realize that you are the shortest of the three of us?"
"Ah? Really? I should be a little taller than Sakura, right?"
Naruto belatedly looked at Sasuke and Sakura in front of him, and then made a gesture with his hand.
Sasuke was already more than half a head taller than him without realizing it, and Sakura was almost half a head taller than him.
"Eh?"
It seems like he is really the shortest.
Sighing, Sasuke said:
"The body is also a ninja's weapon. The shadow clone learning method I taught you puts a lot of burden on the body. If you want to follow my footsteps as soon as possible, then start by eating well every day."
"Sakura."
Hearing Sasuke suddenly call her, Sakura looked at Sasuke.
"Can you go and help buy some vegetables and meat? Just buy whatever you can."
Sasuke took out some money from his pocket and handed it to Sakura.
"I'll teach Naruto some simple recipes."
Sakura took the money and nodded.
"good."
…
Naruto thought that today might be another ordinary day, but many years later he discovered that it was actually one of the best days of his life.
A day like this may rarely happen again.
At this time, it was completely dark outside, and the lights in the house had already been turned on. Several people were sitting at the simple dining table. He looked at the dinner that Sasuke had prepared for him, which included rice, stir-fried vegetables, stir-fried meat, and
With eggs and fresh milk, I have never had such a sumptuous dinner at home.
Suddenly I felt like crying.
This feeling was like when everyone in the village despised him, but he ate his first bowl of Ichiraku Ramen for the first time in his life under the hospitality of Uncle Ichiraku Ramen.
Uncle Ichiraku didn't dislike him, Teacher Iruka didn't dislike him, and now there is another Sasuke.
"I'm gonna start now."
He buried himself in the dining table and wolfed down his food, so that the other two would not see that he looked a little embarrassed and embarrassed.
"Naruto, eat slower..."
Sakura didn't know why Naruto was like this, but she was even more surprised why Sasuke had such good skills.
"Sasuke, who taught you how to cook?"
Sasuke looked at Naruto who was frantically eating rice, but his thoughts drifted to another world.
There was also a little guy over there. When camping in the wild, he begged him to cook, and then after the meal was ready, he wolfed it down.
"I am self-taught, because sometimes I am late in training in the wild, so I will just live in the wild and make some food by myself."
he replied.
"It's really amazing."
Sakura's eyes were full of longing.
After the meal, Sakura helped clear away the dishes, while Sasuke wrote several recipes for Naruto based on his memory.
These recipes he bought at the Deer Hunter Restaurant in Mondstadt at Paimon's request.
The preparation is relatively simple, and some ingredients have corresponding substitutes in the ninja world. The finished product is quite nutritious and is definitely better than eating instant noodles every day.
He threw the recipe to Naruto.
"These toasts are easy to make. You just fry the vegetables, eggs, and meat and then stack them together. Since you have a shadow clone, it's easy to make them."
"Stop trying to save money and buy a bunch of milk at once. If you don't drink it all, it will expire. What if you have diarrhea during the battle and it affects your performance?"
"Don't think Kakashi-sensei is complimenting you when he says you are the most unexpected ninja. It's because you always make mistakes."
Naruto nodded sharply.
"You know, let's fall."
"That's it. I'll take Sakura home. Don't sleep too much tomorrow morning."
Sasuke turned around.
"Thank you, Sasuke."
…
The moon and stars were sparse in the sky outside the house. Sasuke walked behind Sakura, while Sakura was looking at the end of the street with her hands behind her back.
"It feels like Sasuke-kun has become a lot gentler recently."
She slowed down her pace, came to Sasuke's side, and whispered softly.
Sasuke tilted his head slightly.
"Maybe."
"It feels like you care a lot about Naruto."
"You weren't like this when you were in ninja school."
Sakura's words reminded Sasuke of the riverside outside Konoha Village when he was a child.
At that time, he was alone, and Naruto was also alone, and they were on opposite sides of the river.
Lonely people can resonate with each other, but he is no longer like that before.
He also wanted to give Naruto a hand.
"I like Sasuke better now."
“Reassuring.”
The two of them had slowly walked to the door of Sakura's house. Sakura said to Sasuke before entering.
Do you like yourself more now?
Suddenly I felt my eyes were itchy.
Rubbing his eyes, he felt that his pupil power seemed to increase slightly.
It turns out that not only hatred can increase the power of the Sharingan.
It is also possible to have love that is trusted and relied upon by others.
After returning home, Sasuke concentrated on chakra as usual, then adjusted his state and entered Teyvat.
Today he wanted to explore Liyue, which he had never entered before.
Soft music sounded, and his consciousness entered Teyvat again.
