Konoha's Strongest Technician

"Shikamaru, Choji, Ino!"

In Konoha Commercial Street, I happened to meet Naruto who was shopping with the Ino, Deer and Butterfly trio, and greeted them warmly.

"It's Naruto!"

Choji and Ino were equally enthusiastic.

Shikamaru, who was between the two of them, calmly took out his right hand from his pocket and waved it casually as a response.

"Who is this little brat? Why is he so naughty?"

Temari, who was originally walking behind, also noticed that this pineapple head was pulled up to the sky in the way she walked and greeted her. She didn't like it no matter how she looked at it.

Her voice was not loud, but it was just heard by Shikamaru, who had a sharp ear and eyesight.

"Woman? It's really troublesome~"

When Shikamaru heard this, he reluctantly put his right hand back into his trouser pocket and made a habitual complaint.

"Hey, that pineapple head over there, who do you think is causing trouble?"

As the eldest of the three siblings, Temari, who has a strong and domineering personality, immediately became unhappy when she heard this.

She looked directly at Shikamaru, with a strong tendency to act if she disagreed with him.

"Well, please don't misunderstand. Shikamaru's usual personality is like this. He didn't mean to target you~"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Ino immediately raised his hands to his chest with a smile, trying to explain to Shikamaru.

"Hey, it's really troublesome~"

The unmotivated Shikamaru couldn't help but sigh when he saw this.

"you!"

Shikamaru's sigh seemed to add fuel to the fire, instantly arousing Temari's anger.

As the eldest sister among her peers in Sunagakure Village, how had she ever experienced such anger!

She rolled up her sleeves and was about to rush forward and have a good fight with Shikamaru, but her mother stopped her softly:

"Temari, stop making trouble."

Hearing this, little Temari, who had always listened to her mother, had to stop reluctantly.

He raised his left arm in the direction of Shikamaru in a demonstrative manner and snorted angrily, his cute little face bulging like a bun.

"Humph!"

Shikamaru:"......"

"By the way, Shikamaru, Choji, and Ino, let me introduce you, these are my new friends!"

"His name is Gaara. He is the son of the Kazekage. He is also a Jinchuuriki like me, right?"

Seeing that the two people had completed their friendly exchange.

Naruto immediately enthusiastically introduced new friends to Shikamaru and the others.

"Huh? Oh."

"Hello, Gaara, my name is Yamanaka Ino, nice to meet you."

Yamanaka Ino, who had just been thinking about how to help Shikamaru smooth things over, felt like he was waking up from a dream.

"Hello, my name is Akimichi Choji."

"Crunch, crunch..."

"Since you are Naruto's recognized friend, you will also be my friend from now on."

"Here, try this."

As he spoke, Akimichi Choji stuffed potato chips into his mouth, grabbed another handful of potato chips and handed them to Gaara.

"Go on, Choji knows potato chips very well, the potato chips he gives must be delicious!"

Little Naruto saw Gaara staring blankly at the potato chips handed to him, obviously not having experienced such a thing.

He immediately explained in a carefree manner.

While speaking, he himself reached into Choji's bag of potato chips, took out a handful and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Ah~~!"

Just after chewing two mouthfuls, little Naruto's originally sunny face suddenly became distorted, and even turned green!

"Why do you want to buy this flavor, Choji?"

He endured the sweet taste and swallowed all the potato chips.

I couldn't help but complain to Choji.

"I found this packet of stevia and red bean flavored potato chips at the bottom of the supermarket shelf."

"Think about it, everyone knows it can't be delicious, but it resolutely joins the battle as a new product, even if the sales are dismal, so how can I not accept the challenge with dignity?"

Choji raised the bag of potato chips in his hand with a serious look on his face.

"Oh! That's very well said Choji!"

"Just like every time Uncle Ichiraku releases new ramen, I will try it!"

Naruto heard this and shouted excitedly.

He then took out a handful of potato chips from Choji's potato chip bag, placed it in front of his eyes, and stared at it solemnly for a moment.

Then he gritted his teeth, stamped his feet, closed his eyes, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Ah~~!"

"Ah~~!"

The other sound came from Gaara's mouth next to him.

Naruto, who originally felt like he was about to faint from the sweetness, opened his eyes in shock and looked at the source of the sound.

But he found that Gaara had also taken the potato chips that Chouji handed him at some point, followed Naruto's example, and stuffed them into his mouth.

Although he rolled his eyes at the astonishingly sweet potato chips, he still had an extremely bright smile on his face.

At this moment, Chouji, the potato chip owner, looked at him with eyes full of appreciation.

As expected of a new friend recommended by Naruto, it is indeed worth making friends with!

Even the way Shikamaru looked at him became serious.

He had tasted the potato chips that Choji had just bought. The sweet and cloying taste made him crazily drink two bottles of soda!

But this Gaara in front of me could actually stuff it into his mouth like Naruto, and still show such a bright smile!

It’s really unusual!

As for Temari behind Gaara, she was completely confused.

After Gaara became a jinchuriki.

This was the first time she saw him eating food offered by someone other than his family, and eating so happily!

Karuro couldn't help but cover his mouth, with tears in his eyes.

Kushina, who was holding Garura's arm, also looked at the scene in front of her with a look of relief.

She was also forced to become a Jinchuuriki, so she could actually understand Gaara's state of mind at this time.

But it was Minato who took the initiative to approach her and bring her warmth.

What brings Gaara warmth now is the fruit of her and Minato's love...

"Hey, Sister Kushina, Sister Garura, Obito, it turns out you are all here."

At this moment, a lazy voice sounded.

It was Kakashi who had just come out of the hospital and was holding Lin's hand while shopping.

As for the hospital, it's usually not a big deal.

Therefore, as the dean, Lin only needs to leave one wooden escape clone, which is enough to handle her daily work.

"Master!"

"Teacher's wife!"

Upon seeing this, little Naruto immediately said hello to his master and his wife obediently.

Then he excitedly introduced to Gaara:

"Look, these are my master and master's wife!"

"Hello, uncle and aunt~"

"I know Uncle Kakashi. He, Uncle Obito and Uncle Shisui saved us when we came here."

Gaara first said hello obediently, and then explained to Naruto gratefully.

"Well~, it's just a little effort, don't worry about it."

"By the way, Naruto, where are you going?"

Kakashi looked at this lineup and couldn't help but feel curious.

"Master, Gaara said that he has no friends in Sunagakure. I am planning to introduce Sasuke and the others to Gaara!"

Upon hearing his master's question, Naruto answered with pride.

"Okay, it seems you have become friends."

Hearing this, Kakashi walked forward, smiled and rubbed the two little ones' heads.

Unexpectedly, in just such a short time, little Naruto and Gaara would play together.

Even Temari and Shikamaru met.

It really is.

Fate is so wonderful!
