In Konoha, Naruto lies down

"What's so strange about this?" Naruto glanced at the fat man. "The ninja coalition was divided into teams after being disbanded. They all have a deep understanding of the combat methods of other countries' ninjas."

"If we really want to fight, it's just a matter of a word. If we can't reach an agreement through negotiation, then we have no choice but to fight, right?"

"This isn't the first time the Five Great Nations have done this. The current crisis facing the entire ninja world has disappeared, leaving only a few fugitive renegade ninjas at large."

"The five great powers could use the excuse that the other country is harboring White Zetsu, or that it's related to White Zetsu, to attack their allies. There's absolutely no logical problem with that."

"This..." Shikamaru was confused.

"What? You don't believe it?" Naruto supported his head with one hand and held a semi-yellow transparent wine glass in the other. He had already received firsthand information from the three women of Kumogakure.

The Raikage wanted to retreat, but the nobles of the Land of Lightning asked the Hidden Cloud Village to take a tougher stance, intending to take advantage of the opportunity of dividing the spoils after the war to take some bites from the other four countries.

"No wonder my father hasn't come back yet and there's no definite news." Shikamaru scratched his head.

Naruto looked as if he was used to it. He was not concerned about whether the five major countries would fight each other. In fact, he was looking forward to a war between the five major countries.

If he wanted to capture the One-Tail and the Eight-Tail, a fight between Kumogakure and Sunagakure would be the best choice for him. However, he would not do anything like instigating conflict, as it would easily lead to being discovered and would also damage his reputation.

If he directly instigates a war just to extract the One-Tail and the Eight-Tail, then Naruto's behavior would be no different from Uchiha Obito's.

War is not about quarreling or negotiating, because that will really kill many people. Even if these people may be just some insignificant little people, there is no need for Naruto to harm them.

He had so many ways to catch a one-tailed or eight-tailed monster, and there was no need to use such a heartless method.

of course.

If Kumogakure and Sunagakure were to fight each other spontaneously, it would have nothing to do with him. He could take advantage of the situation however he wanted and it would be right for him to take advantage of the situation.

"Will they really fight?" Inuzuka Kiba couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know. I'm waiting too," he replied. "But don't worry. Even if a war breaks out, it probably won't be on a large scale."

"You just got married, so there's a high chance you won't be needed on the battlefield."

Soon, Shikamaru and Neji arrived, and Rock Lee was the last to arrive. He couldn't drink alcohol, so he had to sit at the same table with the kids.

"Brother Naruto!" Konohamaru jumped out, his face full of enthusiasm.

Udon and Moegi followed behind Konohamaru, and the three of them had grown a lot taller. Not to mention Konohamaru, he was the tallest of the three, with broad shoulders and a broad body, and already had the shadow of a young man.

He was also the most talented, not only having learned the Rasengan, but also mastering several simple ninjutsu. Naruto guessed that it was probably Ebisu who taught him, which was quite biased.

But who can blame Konohamaru, as he is the grandson of the Third Hokage and has great talent?

In comparison, Udon and Moegi looked much more ordinary. Udon had grown taller and seemed less shy, and had changed into a pair of black-framed glasses.

When Naruto looked at him, Udon couldn't help but scratch his head and smiled. He had a good impression of Udon. He was not very talented, but he was reliable.

Finally, he turned his gaze to Meng Huang, looking at the other's excited yet slightly shy expression.

"Um???"

He seemed to remember that he had not treated Meng Huang well at that time, just because she was a crybaby, and he seemed to have taught her a lesson at that time.

Later... later there was nothing more. Except for a few brief meetings, the familiarity between the two was no match for the relationship between Konohamaru and him.

"Brother Naruto!" Moe Huang walked in front of Konohamaru, stretched out his hand and greeted him carefully.

"Yeah." Naruto nodded, not knowing how to respond, so he simply responded coldly, "You guys can sit at that table, no drinking allowed."

"Xiao Li, you too."

"I understand." Xiao Li was speechless, but he knew that he would easily go crazy when he touched alcohol, and if he was not careful, he would tear down the whole stall inside and out.

Meng Huang was a little depressed. Just after saying hello, he was thrown to this deserted table, sitting at the same table with a ninja brother who didn't look too smart.

Fortunately, although she is a little willful, she is not stupid. She knows that the strange ninja in the green tights in front of her may not look very good... but one punch from her would be enough to make her cry all night.

When it got dark, she just sat there and ate obediently.

Shikamaru just sat down and said this.

"Naruto, have you found any money lately? And you're treating me again. It's been five days already, and I'm almost used to eating in this place like a cafeteria."

"I didn't pick up any money, but I did become rich." Naruto made no secret of his wealth. He also needed a reason to change his previous image of being poor and running away from paying bills.

They are about to become fathers, and it will be detrimental to their daily interactions with their fathers-in-law if they get out that they are stingy and run away from paying.

"Then it's a bit too extravagant for you to pay for five consecutive days. I'm a little scared." Shikamaru raised his chopsticks and said jokingly.

"How about you give me a beating, Naruto? Otherwise, I won't be able to eat this meal in peace."

"Just eat your food, why are you talking so much?" Naruto ignored him and turned to chat with Neji, "How is Lord Hiashi doing recently? What is this old man doing?"

"Playing chess?" He was surprised and looked at Neji, "Is this old man going to cultivate his character? I remember when I last saw him, Master Hiashi was still practicing with the bamboo sword."

"I almost thought he was going to kill me, but luckily he wasn't."

Neji: “…”

"Is it possible that Lord Hiashi really wants to kill you?" Choji interrupted, looking gloating. "If I were Lord Hiashi, I might also..."

"Shut up, Choji!" Naruto said angrily, "What's wrong with me? I haven't done anything unscrupulous. You're just jealous."

"That's right, don't be so ungrateful." Inuzuka Kiba added, "Now that Hinata and Ino are both pregnant, your son is really lucky."

Choji and Inuzuka Kiba started talking, and Shikamaru and Neji followed suit with a few complaints. The originally harmonious dinner party instantly turned into a criticism meeting to condemn the scumbag.

Naruto knew he was in the wrong, so he didn't argue. No matter what they said, he always greeted them with a smile, and even ordered a few bottles of good wine and poured them for them personally.

Throughout the meal, dishes were added continuously, and both the host and the guests were very happy.

Just when everyone was half drunk, Naruto stood up with a smile and said to Shikamaru and the others.

"You guys eat first, I'll go pay the bill."

"Okay." Inuzuka Kiba replied in a daze.

When Naruto turned and walked towards the counter, Choji, who was obviously a little drunk, suddenly opened his small green bean eyes, his eyes shining brightly.

He stared at the counter for a while and saw Naruto seemed to be paying at the counter. He then seemed to ask for the restroom and left with a relaxed look on his face.

Shikamaru instinctively sensed something was up, so he coughed and pretended to be drunk and dazed before standing up.

"I...I'm going to the bathroom. Don't leave. Come back and continue drinking."

After saying that, Choji staggered towards the toilet until he turned the corner. The drunk Choji sobered up instantly and gritted his teeth at the empty toilet.

"I knew it!!! I knew it! This is revenge! Pure revenge!"

"You're such a dog, Uzumaki Naruto! You even betrayed your good brother!"

"Luckily, I'm very quick-witted, otherwise I, Akimichi Chouji, would be the one waiting there to pay the bill! Damn it, how could there be such a shameless person in the ninja world!"

Seven minutes passed, and the drunken Shikamaru opened his eyes.

That’s strange, is there money to pick up in the toilet?

Naruto paid the bill but didn't return, and Choji disappeared from the restroom. These two are the same type of people, so could they have taken this opportunity to run away with the bill? Given their personalities, it's not impossible!

No, it doesn’t matter whether it’s money or not. I can’t let this humiliating opportunity to pay fall into my hands!

In the blink of an eye, the drunk Shikamaru suddenly stood up and spoke with a lisp.

"Why hasn't Choji come back yet? Could he have passed out drunk in the bathroom? I have to go check it out. By the way, Neji, do you want to go check on them with me?"

Neji raised his head, frowned, thought for two seconds, and then stood up immediately.

"Alright."

Inuzuka Kiba looked at the backs of the two people in the distance, and laughed and mocked at first.

"Is that guy Choji really that stupid? He even passed out drunk in the toilet. Haha, if he really fell asleep in the toilet, I would laugh at him for the whole day..."

After saying this, Inuzuka Kiba instinctively felt that something was wrong, so he turned around and looked.

Shit, there were only him and Konohamaru left at the stall. Rock Lee disappeared for some reason. By the way, when did Rock Lee disappear?

"Where is the brother in the green tights?" Inuzuka Kiba asked Konohamaru and the other two.

"That brother?" Konohamaru scratched his head and said after recalling for a moment, "He said that after dinner he would walk around the village 500 times to digest it, and then do 500 handstands at night."

"Eh? Why hasn't Brother Naruto come back yet? Didn't he go out to pay the bill?" Konohamaru asked.

"Yes, big brother, do you know where big brother Naruto went?" Meng Huang asked with concern, looking at Inuzuka Kiba.

Inuzuka Kiba suddenly broke out in a sweat. Damn it, the pressure had been completely transferred to him.

If nothing unexpected happened today, he would be the best member of the coward group. This was pure revenge. Damn it, he actually believed Uzumaki Naruto!

I would rather trust a dog than believe that Uzumaki Naruto has any good intentions!

Where else could he go? Of course he ran away from the bill. Damn it! Evil yellow-haired guy! I'm screwed this time, I have to pay the bill!

Damn it! Uzumaki Naruto, you deserve to die!

Inuzuka Kiba's face was ashen, he didn't want to answer Moegi's question, facing Moegi's endless questioning, he couldn't help but feel a little irritated. Turning around, he saw the grown-up Konohamaru and the other two, he was stunned for a moment.

They don't seem to be children anymore. They must have been cheated by Naruto when they were this age, right?

Hmm... Inuzuka Kiba stood there and thought for two seconds, then decisively chose to run! As he ran, he confessed in his heart, "I'm sorry! Blame it on Naruto!"

"Hey? Why did you run away while you were talking?" Konohamaru looked confused.

"He hasn't told me where Naruto-san has gone yet!" Meng Huang curled her lips and said somewhat dissatisfiedly.

But soon someone told them where Naruto had gone.

Boss: "Who among you three will pay the bill?"

Konohamaru: "????"

Menghuang: "????"

Udon: “............”

Chapter 552 (with pictures) Ino: I'm going to lose face because of men

Naruto is such a bad person that the second generation of Konoha have been influenced by him and become bad people. They go to parties and run away faster than each other.

Shikamaru was processing documents in the Hokage's office. Kakashi had not yet returned from the battlefield and was busy with his work when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps in the corridor.

He raised his head and saw the door was pushed open.

"Shikamaru! It's bad!" Inuzuka Kiba looked anxious, sweat all over his head, and he couldn't even breathe. "Something happened! Something happened to Choji!"

"What happened to Choji?"

"Here! ...In the hospital!" Inuzuka Kiba finally took two breaths, took a deep breath and shouted, "Go and see him, Shikamaru."

Hearing this, Shikamaru didn't dare to delay and put down the work at hand and rushed to the Ninja Hospital. On the way, he met Rock Lee and Neji, as well as Ino who had rushed over after hearing the news.

The group arrived at Konoha Hospital with heavy hearts and slowly opened the door of the ward.

"Chouji?"

Everyone was stunned. The expected scene of Choji lying weakly on the hospital bed did not appear. Instead, they saw Choji trying to rub the bag of snacks over with his plastered hand.

"Why are you here?" Dingci was also confused, and then he hid his plaster hand and leg guiltily, "Just now...you didn't see anything."

Shikamaru narrowed his eyes and instantly discovered the clue.

"Are you not sick?"

"I'm not sick. Who told you I was sick?" Choji sat back on the bed. "I'm fine. It's just... I encountered some special circumstances."

A group of people turned their eyes to Inuzuka Kiba and the note in his mouth that read "Chouji is in the hospital."

"I said he was in the hospital, I didn't say what happened to him." Inuzuka Kiba pointed at Choji with a gloating expression and asked, "Ask Choji why he is here."

"Chouji?" Ino asked in confusion.

At first, Shikagawa was too hesitant to speak, but later, under everyone's questioning, he finally told the whole story.

"My mother asked me to have a meal with the elders of the tribe and entertain them. Everything was fine. I drank too much and was a little confused for a while..."

"I've been drinking and dining with Naruto quite frequently lately. I thought... I thought I was having dinner with Naruto again. Seeing that they didn't show any intention of paying the bill, I was really drunk at the time, seriously!"

Ino looked confused, "And what do you do?"

Shikamaru covered his face with a slap. He could almost imagine what had happened. Lee coughed, Neji looked away, and Inuzuka Kiba was grinning mischievously.

“Then I ran away…”

"My mother threatened to break my legs, so I went to the hospital to hide for a few days, hoping this would go away."
