The leisurely life of the Hyuga main family

"Well, at least it'll help get everyone together, although it's not really necessary for me. Let's get the drinks ready. If we're going to have a good time, we can't let things fall apart halfway through!"

On the other side, several ninjas who had been ordered to purchase ingredients were trembling with fear!

The little money the Hokage gave us isn't enough to feed and drink so many people.

"Boss, what do we do?!" Looking at the ingredients, seasonings, and some drinks behind him, and then at the dense crowd.

"I...I don't know either!" The leader of the group was also dumbfounded!

"This amount of ingredients isn't enough." Asuma appeared beside the group, a cigarette dangling from his lips, and looked them up and down at the ingredients around them.

"May I ask, how much funding did the Hokage give you?" Shikamaru calculated for a moment and felt that this matter was not simple, so he asked.

"Lord Hokage gave us 1280 million taels of silver." Bai Yue just casually took it, but they had all counted the amount.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Hokage probably sent you to buy seasonings and some vegetables." Sorry, although I can probably guess that the Hokage had no idea that Guy-sensei would cause such a commotion, I can only try my best to cover it up.

"!!!" Upon hearing this, the sky seemed to fall for the Chunin.

they!

You bought the wrong thing!

Ignoring the Hokage's wishes, you bought the wrong thing on your own initiative?!

More than 1000 million taels! Even if those few mere Chunin pooled all their savings together, it would probably be a struggle!

Looking at the unlucky few with a hint of apology, Shikamaru tried to smooth things over, frantically winking at Asuma, who was frowning and smoking: "Asuma-sensei, do you have any money on you?"

"It's probably around 500 million taels..." Asuma instantly understood and casually pulled out a stack of silver from his pocket and handed it to the unlucky guys who had just decided to have a barbecue party.

"This is our mistake, how could we possibly let you pay for it?!" the leading Chunin immediately said.

"It must be that the Hokage didn't explain things clearly. Otherwise, you are all experienced Chunin, and you wouldn't have messed up such a basic mistake as procurement," Shikamaru immediately advised. "We will report the specifics to the Hokage."

"Thank you!" These words touched their hearts, and the group looked gratefully at Shikamaru and even Asuma, who generously paid to make up for the missing pieces.

The ninjas of Konoha are indeed more humane than us!

"So my 500 million ryo is just a waste?" Asuma was speechless as he watched the Chunin who had finished setting out the ingredients and quickly left to buy seasonings.

You idiot Kai, you only do stupid things!

"How could that be? Lord Hakugetsu is extremely generous, at least a hundred times more generous than you. It's just a mere five million taels. Master Hakugetsu will definitely make it up to you." Shikamaru rested his hands on the back of his head, and with just one sentence, he completely silenced Asuma.

"Damn it! I'm very generous too!" Asuma immediately panicked, but seeing Shikamaru had already strolled away leisurely, he turned to Choji, who was drooling and looking forward to the barbecue feast: "Hey, Choji, Sensei, am I very generous too?!"

"The teacher is indeed very generous, but Teacher Baiyue is even more generous." He thought of how Asuma-sensei had taken him out for barbecue and he was clutching his wallet, looking like he was about to cry. Then he thought of Teacher Baiyue patting his head with a smile and telling him to eat slowly, that there was plenty of food.

In Choji's mind, the difference in their generosity was immediately apparent.

"There's absolutely no comparison, okay?" Ino said nonchalantly, "Asuma, you're just putting on a show. You always feel terrible about the cost after treating people to meals, while Lord Shiratsuki is genuinely super rich and doesn't care about such a small amount of money at all."

"..." The Asuma was completely sunk!

Treating someone to a meal once means they've earned money from a mission that starts at level A—money he'd risked his life for! How could he not feel the pinch?!

"Let's go, we still need to prepare the ingredients." Shikamaru turned around and said, "It's a grand banquet the whole village is attending, we'll be very busy!"

"Okay, let's go check it out first." Asma snapped out of his reverie when it came to business.

Just as Shikamaru said, such a grand banquet must be thoroughly checked to prevent any criminals from causing trouble.

If someone were to poison or do anything else sabotage, it would be a huge problem.

We must not let a good thing turn into a bad thing.

As time went by, the shadow clones who had gone out hunting gradually began to return.

Although the shadow clones cannot use the Byakugan, they can still easily hunt ordinary creatures.

Wild boar, wild deer, wild sheep, pheasants, wild rabbits, tuna, sailfish, and even giant squid from the sea—in short, there's an abundance of ingredients!

"Everyone, those who can handle the ingredients, step forward!" After setting the drinks in place, Bai Yue gave the order, and the scene immediately became lively.

"Lord Hakugetsu! There are too many people, the scene is too chaotic." Shikamaru immediately went over and frowned, "What if someone with ulterior motives sneaks in...?"

"No problem, I'm here!" He waved his hand calmly. Anyone who dared to cause trouble under his nose? He would call himself the strongest!

As expected! Lord Baiyue still gives me the strongest sense of security! With him around, I feel completely at ease... Hmm?

Shikamaru suddenly stopped, looking at the deer being slaughtered, at the familiar, distinctive mark on its antlers, and murmured, "Lord Hakugetsu..."

"What's wrong?"

"Those deer aren't wild deer... they're deer raised by our family in Nara. They have our family's markings on their antlers..." The deer they raise, especially their antlers, are very valuable medicinal materials!

While the Nara clan wouldn't say they worshipped these deer as ancestors, they certainly cherished them greatly!

And now! It has become a wild deer to be eaten by a certain Fifth Hokage whose name cannot be revealed!

"..." Bai Yue fell silent. No wonder the shadow clone didn't seem very afraid of people when it was capturing these deer.

"…………" Don't be fooled by the fact that there are only a few here. That shadow clone was ruthless. In addition to these few, he also released more than thirty others in the Realm of Truth and Illusion.

Surely they wouldn't go so far as to wipe out all the deer kept by the Nara family?

I quickly reviewed my memory, and thankfully, I only managed to recall about a tenth of it, so it's not a big problem...

"Medicinal deer must be very nourishing, right?!" Bai Yue turned her head and asked curiously.

"Well... I guess so..." Now that it was a done deal, Shikamaru was a little depressed.

"Then you tell everyone to eat a lot! After you're done eating, calculate the approximate cost. Then tell your father directly, and we'll settle the bill through Konoha."

"Okay, I'll tell Choji later and have him and his Akimichi clan ninjas catch some venison to eat."
