Naruto: Two opponents versus Naruto, Konoha panics!

"That's perfect!" Ino thought it was something serious.

"Perfect timing, let's go try Naruto's cooking!"

"I'll go home and get the meat!" Choji said quickly.

【...】

【noon.】

Naruto put down his literacy book and took a sip of warm water.

"Time to eat, and let your brain process what you've learned."

He wasn't in a hurry; rushing things could easily lead to mistakes.

However, a moment later, he heard a knocking sound on his bedroom door.

[Pushing open the door, I saw four little ones standing outside.]

"Naruto!" Ino's lips curled slightly.

"What's this?" Naruto was naturally puzzled. Wasn't the gathering tomorrow?

However, when he saw the meat that Shikamaru and Choji were holding, he roughly understood.

[He smiled, stepped aside to let everyone in.]

With Shikamaru there, things will be much easier.

Upon entering, the three children looked around Naruto's residence.

[Unconsciously comparing it to my own.]

It's like night and day.

"Naruto, do you live here alone?" Ino asked, a hint of pity in her voice.

Naruto nodded and then took the bag from Choji.

This was the first time Naruto had ever seen so much meat, and it was very fresh.

"Dad knew I was coming, so he specially asked me to bring this fresh meat."

"Naruto, please!"

When it comes to food, Choji takes it extremely seriously.

Naruto was startled by Choji's appearance.

"Then...how about I eat it the way I usually do?"

"Soup or stir-fry?"

"Of course!" Choji's eyes lit up. "I also prepared some vegetables."

Naruto smiled and nodded, then went to the balcony to pick vegetables.

The four of them came along.

They're all very curious, asking questions about this and that.

[Watching Naruto busily working on the chair.]

Ino and Sakura volunteered to help.

Seeing this, Choji refused to fall behind.

[Shikamaru shrugged and was about to grab a chair when Naruto suddenly lowered his voice and said.]

"Shikamaru, could you please take a look at the book on my desk? I've marked the parts I don't understand... I think you should know them."

Hearing this, Shikamaru rolled his eyes at him. "What a nuisance."

[Looking at Shikamaru's lazy back.]

[Naruto smiled.]

[There was no indication of refusal, nor was there any inquiry about what kind of book it was.]

This also shows that Shikamaru is confident he can find the answer to his own questions.

Thinking about it this way, Naruto couldn't stop smiling.

[Of course, this also indirectly proves that the Shikamaru family definitely has a lot of books.]

"Naruto, how do we do this?" Ino's voice came through the phone.

"Ah~ That's so nice~"

"I wish I had a childhood like that!"

Ino hugged Hinata with a hint of envy.

Hinata also looked envious.

"I wish our Naruto was this handsome and powerful too~"

"Judging from how it looks in the black-framed world, I think we'll be together a lot in the future!"

As she spoke, Ino comforted Hinata, "It's alright, Hinata. Maybe you'll come with us too?"

"Just wait a little longer, and by winter, it'll be your time to shine!"

Upon hearing this, Hinata lowered her head slightly.

Will Naruto save me again?

He already has so many friends, he shouldn't be wandering around aimlessly, right?

It's no wonder Hinata was worried.

After all, the black-rimmed Naruto gave her the impression of being too intelligent.

It has even overshadowed the heart-fluttering feeling brought by Naruto with his gold frame.

On second thought.

Hinata blushed again.

"Naruto is so smart... he'll definitely figure out my little scheme... what should I do?"

In the afternoon, Choji patted his round belly and gave Naruto a thumbs-up.

Then he lay on the ground, completely undignified.

"I'm so full and feel so good~"

"Naruto, who did you learn all this from?"

Choji couldn't help but ask.

This tastes just as good as any other food he's ever had anywhere else.

Naruto smiled and poured everyone a drink.

"I always ask Uncle Teji for advice when I go to Ichiraku Ramen."

"The uncle said that once you've mastered one culinary skill, mastering others is like finding a way to learn everything."

"Oh, I see~" Choji scratched his head, not understanding what he meant.

In the kitchen, Ino and Sakura are washing dishes.

[Naruto initially refused, but Ino insisted on showing off, so let her be.]

"Naruto, is this all you learned this morning?" Shikamaru put down his literacy book, looking at little Naruto with some surprise.

"Hmm, is it too slow?" Naruto sat down.

"No, you're trying too hard... I've finished watching, and I can teach you now."

[After that, seeing how enthusiastically Naruto and Shikamaru were learning, Ino and the others joined in the studying.]

[At an age when they should be playing, they've been forced to study alongside Naruto.]

[And the four little ones' little teacher is undoubtedly Shikamaru, who has already finished learning.]

Tobirama Senju: The Nara clan boy is as clever as ever.

Nara Shikaku: "Lord Tobirama, you flatter me."

I heard what was being said in the chat room.

Temari glanced at the lazy Shikamaru beside her.

He shook his head helplessly.

This guy still has no motivation.

but.

Looking at Naruto on the large screen with its black border.

Temari frowned slightly.

Will things continue to develop this way in the future?

Temari remembers meeting Naruto Uzumaki when she first arrived in Konoha.

At the time, I thought he was just a harmless blond kid.

But now it seems that this blond guy poses a considerable threat.

There is also a large fox living inside its body with the same fighting power as Shukaku.

The five of them studied together until sunset.

Not going home all day will inevitably make your family worry.

So, Shikamaru left with Choji and Ino.

"Shikamaru, could you please bring me some books tomorrow?"

"But you better hide well; I don't want those guys to know."

[Naruto lowered his voice and spoke to Shikamaru.]

Whenever the feeling of being watched temporarily disappeared, Naruto would talk to Shikamaru about it.

After piecing together these scattered pieces of information, Shikamaru obtained a surprising result.

However, he also stated that he was powerless to help Naruto in his current situation.

Naruto smiled at this.

He also knew his own status was somewhat special, so naturally he wouldn't force a friend he had only recently met.

[He was simply told to go back and ask his father if he could bring him a book.]

After seeing the three little ones off, Naruto returned home.

Sakura stood there somewhat embarrassed.

"Your mom and dad aren't back yet, are they?" Naruto asked, taking the initiative to speak.

Sakura nodded weakly.

"Then stay for dinner, and I'll take you home." Naruto, of course, wouldn't let her leave so easily.

Regardless of the circumstances, this refrigerator, crammed full, was definitely the work of the pink-haired girl in front of us.

"Thank you~" Sakura pursed her lips and quickly said thank you.

Naruto waved his hand, turned around, and went to the kitchen to get busy.

Sakura followed him in like a little shadow, eager to help.

With Ino and the other two not around, the two of them were relatively quiet.

After dinner, Naruto took Sakura home.

[On the road, the instant the feeling of being monitored disappeared.]

Naruto moved closer and whispered:

"Sakura, we're having a picnic tomorrow. Could you please bring me some books? Any kind of books are fine, just one or two will do."

"If possible, I'm counting on you from now on, Sakura."

"I still have 20,000 taels on me, but I've already asked Shikamaru for help, so... I can only give you 10,000 taels for now."

[With that, Naruto placed an envelope into Sakura's pocket.]

【"ah?"】

"Oh...okay..."

Feeling the warm breath from Naruto's voice, the pink-haired girl blushed.

But in an instant, Naruto distanced himself again, "We're here. Didn't forget your keys?"
