Undercurrent of Konoha

Despite the heartache, Heiji felt a little relieved in his heart.

Just now, the system prompted him to complete the first side mission - to play an assisting role in the battle to protect the Hyuga clan.

Mission difficulty: half a star

Mission reward: One chakra fruit (has a weak nourishing effect on the meridians).

Heiji forcibly suppressed his pounding heart and did not immediately swallow the pear-shaped fruit on the system interface that was as dark and deep as the night sky.

Since Teacher Hong is treating me at noon, I have to make some room in my stomach.

If you eat that dark fruit, your stomach will be full immediately.

That would be a big loss.

Before he earned the mission commission, Heiji wished he could break every penny in half and spend it.

Red charcoal burns beneath the grill.

A large piece of tender, juicy, milky white fat-studded wagyu sirloin is "sizzling" on the grill.

"Red, are you still the same? Let's rinse your mouth with half a pound of soju first?"

The chubby barbecue restaurant proprietress looked at Kurenai Yuhi with a smile, her round and rosy face looking full of fireworks.

"No. I quit drinking."

Yurihong picked up a piece of roasted pork belly, put it in her mouth and chewed it carefully, an intoxicated look suddenly appeared on her pretty face.

"Hmm...it's so delicious-"

The landlady smiled and didn't take it seriously.

This is the countless time Yuhi Kurenai has announced that she will quit drinking.

The longest one lasted 32 hours and 57 minutes.

The shortest time was less than half an hour.

A faint smell of tobacco wafted into the barbecue restaurant.

Yuhi's red eyes lit up, and she stood up suddenly, pointed at the powerful and resolute Jounin man who had just walked in with a cigarette in his mouth, and said sternly: "Asuma - from now on, You have to quit smoking!”

The cigarette was snatched away by Kurenai Yuhi, and Asuma Sarutobi looked slightly dazed.

It seems that this woman is serious this time...

Behind Sarutobi Asuma, the three teenagers were stunned and couldn't help but cover their mouths and snicker.

The majestic teacher Asuma, who had beaten the three of them into confusion just now, was so afraid of his childhood sweetheart, Teacher Hong...

Yuhi Hong sat down proudly, looking at the empty grill, a little confused.

In just the blink of an eye, these three little guys wiped out a total of two to three kilograms of various meats on the grill?

"Mr. Red..."

Hinata whispered softly: "Can you... add some pork belly and beef top brain?"

"Haha... You are so young, you really know how to eat..."

Yuhi Hong coughed lightly, patted Asuma's shoulder sitting at the next table, and whispered: "Later, you will also pay for my table..."

Asuma's body suddenly trembled, and when he saw Akimichi Choji opposite him who was devouring all kinds of grilled meats in his mouth, as if there was no end to it, his heart was bleeding slowly.

after an hour.

"What! Boss lady! A total of 30 taels? Are you right..."

Sarutobi Asuma stared at the chubby landlady in shock.

Usually, he and Yuhi Hong eat and drink all kinds of things at the barbecue restaurant, but only five or six thousand taels.

At my table today, although Akimichi Choji's fighting prowess is obvious to all, it is estimated that it is only over 10 taels.

How come the total bills for the two tables are as much as 30 taels?

"Um……"

The landlady picked up a roll of receipts that almost reached her knees. After confirming it, she said, "The total for your table is 12 taels."

Asma nodded, the price was not much different from what he expected.

"Teacher Hong's table has a total of 18 taels. The two tables combined charge you 1 taels, and there is still a fraction of 30 taels..."

Asma stood dumbfounded on the spot, looking at another roll of receipts that was already hanging low on the ground. With trembling right hand, he took out all the cash in the wallet.

"This is about 20 taels. The rest... I will return it to you in a few days... I'm sorry..."

Asma walked out of the barbecue restaurant, looked at her empty wallet, and murmured: "It seems that I will have to ask dad to deal with emergencies again this month..."

Night falls.

Heiji lay on the bed and read through the thick ninja code.

On his forehead, he wore a ninja forehead protector with the Konoha symbol.

My stomach started to growl again. I had eaten so much barbecue for lunch that it was all gone.

"I hope this dark fruit can solve this dinner."

With a thought in Heiji's mind, the chakra fruit in the system interface appeared in his right hand.

What would it taste like? What does it taste like?

Can it satisfy hunger?

Heiji brought his mouth to the fruit and took a bite.

"Gah-boom!"

His cheeks trembled for a while, and Heiji stared at his empty right hand dumbfounded, unable to believe that the chakra fruit had been swallowed by him.

This is obviously a mouthful of air...

After swallowing the chakra fruit, a burning sensation suddenly swept through Heiji's body, as if he was racing against time to exercise every inch of the meridians in his body.

I don't know how much time passed, but the burning sensation on Heiji's body completely subsided.

Standing up, Heiji felt as if his whole body was being hollowed out...

A strong sense of hunger swept through every cell in Heiji's brain. He rummaged around the room in the dark, and finally found two remaining butter biscuits in the biscuit box.

Chewing the dry biscuits in his mouth, Heiji felt a little calmer.

However, just these two small pieces of biscuits are a drop in the bucket in relieving hunger.

"Heiji-kun... are you at home..."

An inaudible voice sounded outside the door.

The door opened, Hinata lowered her face and blushed with shame, and thrust a package into Heiji's hand.

"Heiji-kun... these are the fried meatballs I made myself... today... thank you very much..."

Before Heiji could react, Hinata blushed, turned around and ran away, gradually disappearing into the night.

"Fried meatballs... This eldest lady of the Hyuga clan is indeed an out-and-out meat eater."

In Heiji's mind, he immediately recalled how Hinata Hinata ate the people at his table at the barbecue restaurant during the day and doubted his life.

Akimichi Choji's huge appetite is almost universally known to everyone in the village, and this is closely related to his appearance and appearance.

As for Hinata Hinata, the power of the big stomach king is head-to-head with Akimichi Choji, but she looks soft and weak on the outside. This huge contrast between the inside and the outside is extremely hidden and deceptive...

This time, Asma was in trouble that she couldn't express...

(Last month’s commission was all spent on one meal, and I can’t even think about quitting smoking. There are still 10 days until the end of the month, and Asma can only survive on instant noodles...)
