Naruto's Best Actor

Chapter 42 Invitation

"Konoha is really prosperous."

Shikamaru and Shiro were walking on the streets of Konoha, with pedestrians coming and going.Konoha Village is more like a city than a village.

There are abundant supplies, complicated and difficult to solve crowding problems, a high population, and the most powerful ninja corps in the world.

After the Third Ninja War, other places were troubled by the rapid loss of population and lack of supplies, but here, the top brass of Konoha were troubled by the rapidly accelerating prosperity.

"Lord, where are we going?"

Shiro followed Shikamaru. Even though he was wearing men's clothes, his delicate appearance showed the heroism that only women possess.

"I heard there is a good barbecue restaurant here. Let's go check it out."

Shikamaru and Shiro turned around an intersection, and before walking through an alley, the signboard for Q Kee Barbecue was clearly visible.

However, before the two of them arrived, a group of children were fighting in an alley.

Shikamaru looked around and saw that the leaders were Naruto and Sasuke. They were leading a group of second-generation ninjas from Konoha and were fighting with another group of second-generation ninjas.

Since the Nine-Tails attack did not happen, the current Nine-Tails Jinchuuriki is still Naruto's mother Kushina.I don't know if it's because he wasn't affected by the Nine-Tails chakra, but now Naruto actually inherited the excellent looks of his father, Minato Namikaze, and his mother, Kushina.Not only is he very handsome, not inferior to Sasuke next to him, but his talent is also said to be pretty good.

Nara Tama took over Shikamaru's position in Konoha's Twelve Little Heroes, and formed a new generation of Ino Shikacho with Ino Yamanaka and Choji Akimichi.And the strength that Naruto has shown since he was a child is also top-notch among the twelve strong men in Konoha. He doesn't give people the feeling of being lagging behind at all.

The war between a group of naughty children ended with the victory of Naruto and Sasuke's side.Just when Naruto's face was bruised and purple but he still wanted to scream, Sasuke who was following him suddenly saw Shikamaru and the two.

To be precise, his eyes touched Shiro next to Shikamaru, his face suddenly turned red, and his whole person became much quieter.

At this time, Naruto seemed to have noticed Shikamaru.He yelled, "It's Shikamaru and Shiro."

Shikamaru responded with a smile, but saw Naruto running over and said carelessly: "Shikamaru and Shiro, we are going to the barbecue restaurant in front, let's go together and I'll treat you."

The current Naruto is very different from the Naruto in Shikamaru's memory, but the only thing that hasn't changed is his familiar aura.

Although Shikamaru had only met Naruto two or three times after returning to Konoha, Naruto now knew him as if he were an old friend for many years.

“I heard this store is pretty good, we just want to go there.”

"The barbecue in this store and Uncle Ichiraku's ramen are my favorites. If we have a chance, let's go to Uncle Ichiraku's ramen shop together."

Naruto led the way, Shikamaru and Shiro followed, and Sasuke was at the back, glancing at Shiro intentionally or unintentionally.

When he walked into the barbecue restaurant, he was met by the trio of pigs, deers and butterflies. Choji Akimichi was holding a bunch of barbecued meats and eating them indiscriminately.

"Is it Xiaoyu? We just happen to sit together."

Naruto seemed to be very familiar with Shikamaru's sister Nara Tama, so he pulled Shikamaru and others and sat over.

When Narayu saw Shikamaru, he snorted and looked away.Shikamaru was indifferent.

With Naruto being such a talkative person, even though all the young Shikamaru present were not familiar with each other before, they soon became familiar with each other.

At the end, when only bones were left on the table, Naruto touched his belly and lay down comfortably.

"Naruto, thank you for your hospitality today."

“You’re welcome, you’re welcome”

Naruto seemed to be a little stuffed. He looked like a frog taking a nap, even the way he waved his hands was limp.

"How about this? Next time I come to treat you, please come to my house. My mother's craftsmanship is very good."

Shikamaru said with a smile.

When Narayu heard this, he snorted. "You may not know that during this period, our Nara family will go to our family's dense forest to collect medicinal herbs. Both father and mother will go there. At this time, the house is in a mess. How can mother control entertaining Ino and the others? "

"Is that so"

Shikamaru sighed sadly.At this time, Sasuke, who had been silent, mustered up his strength and said, "How about this? I'll invite you to my house. My mother's craftsmanship is also very good."

After Sasuke finished speaking, he glanced at Shiro who was sitting next to Shikamaru.

Exactly, in the face of Sasuke's invitation, all the weaklings present, even Naruto, had a difficult look on their faces.

"Well, I happen to have something to do that day. I'm afraid I won't be able to go."

Akimichi Choci suddenly stood up and said goodbye again and again.The performance of Yamanaka Ino and Nara Tama is not much different.

Finally came Naruto, who stood up as if he remembered something.

"Hey, my mother is still at home waiting for me to eat. Shikamaru, Haku, Sasuke, we'll see you tomorrow."

Naruto was like a good baby at this moment, standing up in a hurry and leaving the barbecue restaurant as if he was running away.

Sasuke lowered his head unhappily, looking very depressed.It wasn't that Naruto and the others had any objections to Sasuke, but that the Uchiha family was notoriously xenophobic. Thinking of the atmosphere in their home, Naruto and the others felt dizzy and left in a hurry.

"Thank you very much, Sasuke."

Shikamaru sat opposite Sasuke and thanked him with a slight smile on his lips.

"Then it's agreed, I'll come find you tomorrow."

Hearing Shikamaru promised him, Sasuke immediately raised his head, his milky white face flushed, looking very cute.

........

As the sun set, after parting ways with Sasuke, Shikamaru and Shiro were walking home.

The trail is remote and there are few pedestrians on the roadside.

Shikamaru suddenly stopped and said, "You've been following us all the way, why don't you show up yet?"

Uchiha Itachi, carrying a short sword on his back, appeared in front of Shikamaru in an instant.

"What exactly do you want to achieve by using my brother?"

Itachi's voice was cold.Now he is not the Akatsuki Suzaku who destroyed the entire Uchiha clan and whose heart has become cold and heartless.Uchiha Itachi heard clearly the conversation in the barbecue restaurant just now.

He understood very well that Shikamaru had deliberately brought up that topic just now, just to wait for his brother to take the bait.

"Why are you still worried that I will do something to harm your brother when I come to your Uchiha house as a guest?"

Shikamaru smiled, ignored Itachi, and left with Shiro.

Looking at Shikamaru's young figure in the distance, Itachi felt uneasy for some reason.
