Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 547 Pig, Deer, and Butterfly

Inside the inner castle of Konoha Village, at Choji Akimichi's residence:

"Mom and Dad, I'm home."

Choji Akimichi walked into the house carrying a large bag of paper.

"Oh, son, you're back." Choji Akimichi poked his head out and was overjoyed when he saw the paper bag in Choji Akimichi's hand.

"Good son, you know your dad likes this and bought it especially for me. That's really nice of you."

Akimichi Choza rushed over and snatched the food from Akimichi Choji's hand, showing no remorse for taking his son's food.

Choji Akimichi watched speechlessly as his father took away his snacks, but he wasn't angry.

The fact that his father was so brave only proves one thing:

My mom isn't home today.

With a sigh, Choji Akimichi looked helplessly at his father: "Dad, have you heard? The other day, my two classmates, Neji Hyuga and Sasuke Uchiha, had a duel."

Choza Akimichi paused in his act of stuffing beef jerky into his mouth, then looked at his son: "Of course, what's wrong?"

Choji Akimichi: "After their duel ended, I found that many people started asking me about the two of them."

Choza Akimichi's expression immediately turned serious. He looked at his son and asked, "Did you tell them?"

Choji Akimichi smiled smugly: "I told them that they were both my classmates, that Neji Hyuga was very good at genjutsu, and that Sasuke Uchiha was incredibly skilled in taijutsu."

Upon hearing this, Akimichi Choza burst into laughter.

At least my son can distinguish between what's important and what's not, and that's very important.

Choza Akimichi looked at his son and patted him on the shoulder: "Not bad, but you shouldn't associate with these people who pry into your friends in the future. These guys are not good people."

Choji Akimichi nodded repeatedly: "I think so too. I've never heard of these guys before, and they suddenly picked on me. There must be something wrong with them."

I asked Nara Shikamaru, and he also told me to ignore these people.

Upon hearing his son mention this, Akimichi Choji suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, "Speaking of Shikamaru... how is his grandfather's health lately?"

Choji Akimichi was taken aback: "I don't know."

Akimichi Choza sighed, "That's true. How could my son possibly know about the affairs of the Nara clan?"

I misunderstood things.

With a laugh, Choji tossed the snacks back to Choji, then said to him, "I'm going out for a bit. When your mother comes back, tell her I won't be home for dinner tonight."

Choji panicked: "Mom will be furious if she finds out!"

Choji definitely had reason to be anxious, since his mother was really capable of hitting people when she was angry.

Yeah, the person he's beating up is his dad since he's not around.

Choza Akimichi smiled slightly: "Tell her I went to the Nara family, she'll understand."

Choji looked at his father suspiciously. Was this really okay?

Akimichi Choza left home and headed to his Nara residence.

At home in Nara, the Nara deer have recently fallen ill.

Yuya had suggested that Tsunade come and help treat the patient.

However, Nara Shika also felt that it was just a minor illness and there was no need to be so delicate; he could just go to the hospital to see a doctor.

Upon examination, it was found that a tumor had grown inside the body, but it had not yet become malignant and was still in its early stages, requiring only a minor surgery.

Nara Shika naturally agreed, and is currently in the recovery period after surgery.

Yua isn't a devil, and besides, now that Nara Shikaku of the Nara clan has taken his father's place and is working for Yua, it doesn't seem to make much difference whether Nara Shikaku comes back or not.

In short, the Nara clan has been having a tough time lately. Leaving aside the matter of the previous head of the clan, the recent showdown between Sasuke and Neji has also put Shikamaru in the spotlight.

After all, the Nara clan's shadow ninjutsu and extremely high intelligence are famous throughout the ninja world.

Ok……

Although the name of the Nara clan usually appears in conjunction with the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.

Actually, the Ino-Shika-Cho trio didn't all come to Konoha together at the beginning.

During the Warring States period, the various ninja clans were independent and fought against each other. At that time, small ninja clans could only survive by cooperating with each other. Although the Ino-Shika-Cho trio did form a group at that time, it was completely different from the three close-knit families we know today.

After all, while various families could cooperate with each other during the Warring States period, they also definitely harbored a sense of confrontation.

Otherwise, they wouldn't even know why their own family had disappeared.

Later, as everyone knows, the Uchiha and Senju reconciled and jointly established Konoha Village, which led to the formation of the Ino-Shika-Cho trio.

Well, after all, in Konoha, you can choose not to live, but you can't be without life.

Families that fail to survive can only decline and fade away as the village develops.

For example, Kurenai Yuhi's family, and the Moonlight family of Hayate Gekko.

These two families weren't exactly weak, but once the village settled down, they didn't want to maintain a high level of tension anymore.

Simply put, they want to enjoy life.

This is understandable. After all, the Warring States period was not a place for humans to live. They had suffered so much over the years, so what's wrong with them enjoying themselves?

Then there's the current situation where Kurenai Yuhi and Asuma Sarutobi are dating. The elders of the Sarutobi clan believe that Kurenai's family is somewhat inferior and not worthy of Asuma Sarutobi.

Of course, these are all minor issues. Although they are very serious to the parties involved, it must be admitted that they are minor issues.

Returning to the Ino-Shika-Cho trio, recently Choji Akimichi, Ino Yamanaka, and Shikamaru Nara have begun training in the Ino-Shika-Cho secret ninjutsu.

After all, putting aside Sasuke and Neji, Choji's friend Naruto is also quite strong.

If they don't improve, they'll really be left behind.

When Yamanaka Ino realized that she represented the pig in the Ino-Shika-Cho fusion ninjutsu, she was somewhat furious.

After all, when she and Sakura argued at school, the word Sakura shouted the loudest was Inoboru.

Now I really have turned into a pig...

Ino was utterly helpless.

However, after practicing for a period of time, Ino discovered that the power of the Ino-Shika-Cho fusion ninjutsu was indeed very strong, and in the end, she reluctantly accepted the fact that she was the "ino" in the Ino-Shika-Cho fusion ninjutsu.

It can only be said that although Sasuke and Neji's battle was originally for the sake of their respective clans, in reality, the two of them, as the catfish of the new generation, stirred up the whole fishpond of the new generation.

The usually lazy Shikamaru has recently started training, which surprised Choji greatly.

but……

I heard that the Nara clan has recently been researching the Six Paths Chakra...

I wonder how far this research can go...

Speaking of which, our Akimichi clan can also divide into six paths of chakra. I wonder if I could try to see what six paths of chakra are all about...

Ok……

Never mind, I'll eat something to calm my nerves first.
