Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

[Boiling! Boiling! Boiling...no, it's scalding hot!]

However, the taste is indeed very good.

[It has a perfect combination of color, aroma, and taste.]

[Grilled fish seems simple... but after taking a bite, Uzuki Yugao's intuition told her that her cooking skills were no match for a child under ten years old.]

A sense of frustration welled up within her, but it lasted less than a second before Uzuki Yugao recovered.

Perfect timing!

[From now on, I won't even need to cook!]

Even if that's not possible... you can always go to their home and ask them for cooking lessons!

【very good!】

Indeed, everything is difficult at the beginning; once you get started, everything else falls into place naturally.

Thinking about it, Uzuki Yugao nodded unconsciously.

Naruto tilted his head slightly.

[I have a feeling that this purple-haired older sister has a very active mind.]

[Hmm...it's just that there's a lot of internal monologue.]

Since things have come to this, let's eat first and talk about it later.

The two quickly finished cleaning the grilled fish in front of them.

Seeing this, the shadow clone immediately created another shadow clone.

The snails and river shrimp in the pot are cooked.

The second conflict has begun.

This time, Naruto lost.

Because you can't outmaneuver your opponent with chopsticks.

[Fast, accurate, and ruthless.]

[Seeing that Naruto not only didn't lose heart, but instead seemed even more determined after each setback.]

[A slight smile played on Yugao Uzuki's lips.]

Then he drew his ninja sword and sharpened the ends of the chopsticks.

【"Great, now that I'm replacing the chopsticks... I have another reason to come knocking!"】

The following scenes are extremely gruesome.

Just as Naruto was about to pick up his chopsticks, Yugao, with lightning-fast reflexes, immediately plucked the snail meat out.

In the second match, Naruto barely ate anything.

In the end, all I could do was roll my eyes at Xiyan, whose little mouth was stuffed full.

【"You're amazing, you even drank all the soup!"】

The thought had just arisen.

[Then Xiyan picked up the pot and drank the soup in large gulps.]

Naruto: "..."

【Well--】

[Xi Yan let out a burp.]

[Then, she put down the pot, which was now almost empty, and ladylike wiped her mouth.]

Then she gave Naruto a sweet, yet apologetic, smile.

Of course, if she could hide that hint of smugness in her eyes a little better, Naruto would feel better.

[Swordsmanship?] PS: I'm living a good life. Swordsmanship and knife skills mean the same thing.

[Even G won't learn... I will! G won't learn, but I will! I'll learn swordsmanship!]

Hmm~!

Hinata puffed out her cheeks in anger.

Ino, on the other hand, found it quite interesting.

"This is the first time I've seen Naruto with black-rimmed glasses get his comeuppance."

"Look, Orochimaru isn't saying anything anymore, his face has turned dark," Sakura said with a light laugh.

Mei Terumi: "So even Naruto with black-rimmed glasses isn't invincible after all~"

Mei Terumi: "Seriously, after seeing so many, it makes me think that Naruto with black-rimmed glasses is invincible~"

Mei Terumi: "But Naruto with black-rimmed glasses is actually quite cute."

The Fourth Raikage: "Hahaha, it seems that the Jinchuriki of our Hidden Cloud Village are not entirely useless; at least they know some swordsmanship."

Fourth Raikage: "Um... I was talking about beating."

The words that the wooden figure wanted to say could only be swallowed back.

Orochimaru: "Hmph, let her be smug for a while. Soon, Naruto with black frames will surpass her."

The large screen with its black border continues to display the image:

【Hahaha~】

[Within the sealed space.]

[He's stopped reading the storybook about the big fox.]

[Through Naruto's senses, it witnessed the entire event.]

It felt like an electric current shooting from the soles of my feet straight to the top of my head.

The big fox felt completely comfortable.

Finally!

Finally!

[Someone should teach that wretched brat a lesson!]

[You wretched brat, you got what you deserved, didn't you?]

Haha~

Feeling unwell? That's good!

The giant fox gloated inside the sealed space.

[He even specifically activated the mental connection.]

Naruto's eye twitched involuntarily.

【call--】

Take a deep breath.

Naruto regained his composure.

"Is it to your liking?"

【"Mmm~"】

"I never knew you were such a good cook."

"However, she's still a bit worse than me."

[Uzuki Yugao said without batting an eye.]

"Really?" Naruto blinked.

[I have my doubts about this.]

"Don't you believe me?"

"How about we reciprocate? Come to my place for dinner tonight?"

[Uzuki Yugao revealed a charming smile.]

【Oh no... I don't think I have any drugs that can knock people out... Does Red Bean have any?】

【No, no... that would be short-sighted.】

【But this is a rare opportunity…】

【But what if Red Bean asks about it?】

【『......』】

Just as Uzuki Yugao was lost in thought...

Naruto suddenly waved his hand and said, "No, we have a party tonight, so we won't bother you, Yugao-neechan."

Naruto's speaking speed noticeably increased.

His intuition told him that he had made a wrong decision today.

This purple-haired older sister... is really difficult to deal with!

"I see~"

"What a pity, my sister has a cat that can do backflips, I was hoping you could see it."

[Backflip...a ​​cat?]

【Hmm... Ninja Cat?】

Naruto paused for a moment.

Looking at Yugao Uzuki, something just doesn't feel right.

The Ninja Cat Clan primarily interacts only with the Uchiha Clan.

After the Uchiha clan was wiped out, the ninja cat clan seemed to have disappeared as well.

It may take some time before it appears.

[This woman is no ordinary person; she can keep the ninja cat clan at home at this time.]

【"Yeah?"】

"I've never seen a cat do a backflip before."

"I've seen dogs do backflips before."

Naruto replied with a smile.

[Without waiting for a reply from Yugao Uzuki.]

He immediately turned his head to look at the campfire beside him.

"The grilled fish is ready."

[She swallowed back what she was about to say.]

A new round of struggle has begun.

But this time, it was Uzuki Yugao's turn to be defeated.

She was already full.

[Naturally, he's no match for Naruto.]

Naruto's impression of Yugao Uzuki has changed considerably.

Of course, most importantly, after this kind of contact, it turns out the opponent doesn't have a longer or shorter Will of Fire.

This is the most important reason.

Another reason is that for food to taste good, there needs to be someone to share it with.

[Having eaten and drunk their fill.]

Naruto wasn't idle either.

[Watching her use a small twig as a metaphor for a sword, she asked Uzuki Yugao for advice on swordsmanship.]

A moment later, Naruto, looking somewhat uneasy, distanced himself slightly.

He didn't know whether Yugao Uzuki did it intentionally or unintentionally.

They always seem to come close to you out of the blue.

[He also likes to teach me step by step.]

Naruto had only ever seen this kind of thing used by Ino.

But Uzuki Yugao is not Ino.

Ino gave Naruto the impression that she was genuinely sincere and didn't hide her true feelings.

Of course, she wasn't very bold either; after finishing one act, she blushed deeply and only dared to make suggestive remarks.

This purple-haired older sister is different.

It's like being mischievous in a serious manner.

The key point is that she has a focus.

This is something Ino can't match at the moment.

Naruto's act of creating distance did not escape Yugao's notice.

[The situation gradually took a turn for the worse after that.]

Naruto stood up reluctantly, while Uzuki Yugao said with a serious expression:

"The sword is never out of hand; it is a swordsman's most treasured possession."

"Do not touch unless you are close to the person you are with."

"Here you go, if you slip... you'll have to buy me a better one!"
