Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 436 Hot Pot Meatball Night

On his first night after enrolling, Uchiha Sasuke forgot about what he had said during the day about sleeping and being quiet at night, and the three of them in the dorm were having a great time playing computer games.

They were playing an auto-chess game, which was derived from the main game of Ninja League. It can be said that this game naturally has a very large audience, so it is also a very profitable business.

Of course, the company that developed the game is also owned by Yua, but these things will be given to the next Hokage after Yua steps down.

The problem is that when Yua stepped down, the villagers saw all the things he gave to the next Hokage. So, it's fine for you to use these things, but if you want to use them to benefit yourself, the villagers of Konoha would almost never accept it.

Since that's the case, then it's the same old story...

What's the use of this location...?

At 10 p.m., Iruka came to the dormitory to check the rooms.

"Alright, alright, stop playing around. Tomorrow you're free to roam around the school all day. The day after tomorrow, the Hokage will give you his opening address. Don't all look like you've just woken up."

"Yes~ I'll go to sleep after this game!" Naruto wasn't really addicted to games, and now that Iruka was urging him to go to sleep, and since the school's internet would be cut off at 11 o'clock, he naturally wouldn't be able to play games.

Therefore, the game will end for both Naruto and Sasuke after this match.

Of course, the two were not playing in a duo queue. This kind of game is competitive even if all eight players are classmates, but it's not the kind of competitive game where players are directly divided into factions.

Iruka had to go to the other dormitories to urge the others to go to sleep early, while Naruto and Sasuke's intense battle was coming to an end.

"No, why are you buying the Third Kazekage? You should buy the Third Hokage! What good is the Third Kazekage anyway!" Sasuke pointed at Naruto from the side.

Naruto's face darkened: "Can the first guy to be eliminated please stop telling me what to do?"

Sasuke's face twitched, and he crossed his arms, stubbornly saying, "I was just unlucky and didn't get the pieces I needed. You're just a little luckier than me, what's there to be so smug about?"

Naruto snorted and continued refreshing the shop.

After that, Naruto's team started to decline, but his early health advantage allowed him to survive three rounds, at which point there were only three players left on the field.

In the next round, after Naruto defeated the monsters, he obtained a hero clone. His eyes lit up, so he started refreshing the shop, spending all his money to refresh and get the Third Kazekage, Granny Chiyo's, piece.

Afterwards, Naruto used the Hero Copy Device to upgrade the Third Kazekage to three stars. Through the evolution of bonds, the Third Kazekage, Granny Chiyo, was transformed into a giant puppet.

In the end, Naruto won the victory.

Naruto smirked: "Even though the Third Hokage is a five-cost card and the Third Kazekage is a four-cost card, a three-star four-cost card is definitely stronger than a two-star five-cost card. Don't you understand such a simple logic?"

"You son of a bitch..."

Sasuke glared at Naruto, gritting his teeth.

At that moment, other people from the other dormitories also came to their rooms.

Nara Shikamaru also came over with his roommate Sai.

"Oh, so many people! Perfect timing, my mom asked me to bring gifts for my classmates." Naruto was delighted to see the other classmates.

Sai and Lee's families are not well-off; they were only brought along because their roommates are Shino Aburame and Shikamaru Nara.

In fact, this is what Yuya wanted. Putting aside everything else, if you are a ninja, it is best not to have such a deep sense of family. Some commoner ninjas and clan ninjas first meet during their three years of ninja student life, from the age of ten to twelve.

The friendship between classmates is still quite important.

Of course, if there are really people who don't care about friendship, then there's nothing that can be done, but such people are always in the minority.

Naruto rummaged through the box he had brought and found a large bag of things.

Choji Akimichi's eyes lit up immediately: "Hot pot meatballs!"

Naruto chuckled, "That's right! This is a gift my mother sent from Kumogakure. There are over six hundred meatballs in this bag!"

Choji Akimichi immediately started drooling.

Nara Shikamaru, hands on his hips and speechless, said, "Your mother is really carefree, sending things back from Kumogakure. Can't she buy them in Konoha?"

Choji Akimichi immediately sidled up to Shikamaru Nara, glaring at him, and said, "Feed Shikamaru! Don't underestimate Naruto's mother's good intentions! Besides, many of those so-called specialties of Konoha are actually made in factories in the Land of Fire; they're not Kumogakure's specialties at all. Don't let Aunt Kushina's sincerity go to waste!"

Nara Shikamaru muttered under his breath, "He's still the same as before; he can't resist food."

Choji seemed to hear Shikamaru talking about him and immediately cast a glance at him.

Shikamaru immediately shut up.

Sasuke watched Naruto rummage through the suitcase he'd brought, pulling out an induction cooker and disposable bowls and chopsticks, and said speechlessly, "Your mother sent you these things after going to Kumogakure? Wait, why did Aunt Kushina go to Kumogakure?!"

Naruto waved his hand dismissively and said, "I've started school, but Hua Ling hasn't. My parents took her on a trip. There was a TV show recently about a summer tourism special in Kumogakure, with discounts, so they went there. They couldn't come to see me off this time."

Sasuke immediately revealed a mocking expression: "So that's why. I thought your parents really trusted you and didn't come to see you off. Oh, so that's the reason."

Naruto scoffed, too lazy to bother with Sasuke. After setting up the induction cooker, Naruto smiled and looked at the others: "Who's going to fetch water?"

"I'll go, I'll go!" Choji was unusually enthusiastic, and indeed, it would be strange if Choji wasn't enthusiastic when there was food involved.

"I'll go. Choji, go get some of the drinks and snacks you brought." Shikamaru said as he got up.

"Okay, I'll go get it." Although Choji is a glutton, he's definitely not someone who wouldn't share.

So, after the division of labor was completed, ten minutes later, the eight kids sat around a table of boiling hot pot meatballs and started eating.

"Mmm, it smells delicious! No wonder it's a specialty of Kumogakure!"

"Shikamaru, you should say that as expected of a specialty product from Kumogakure, the meat used is clearly different from that of our Land of Fire."

"Mmm mmm mmm mmm." This is Naruto, whose mouth is stuffed full of grease.

Just as the kids were enjoying their meal, Iruka's voice suddenly came from outside:

"By the way, Naruto, Sasuke, would you two be interested in giving a speech as representatives of the outstanding freshmen the day after tomorrow? I can help you write your speeches..."

Iruka pushed open the dormitory door and fell into deep thought as he looked at the children sitting around the table inside…
