Naruto North and South

Zarakibei still underestimated her physical strength. Originally, she thought that traveling day and night for two consecutive days was not a big deal, but it was a pity that when she opened her eyes, she realized that even she would have to sleep for more than ten hours. Restores spent stamina.What kind of experience is it like to open your eyes at 03:30 in the afternoon? In addition to the dripping anhydride after waking up, it is more about the hunger in the stomach.

After simply washing up, I went to the kitchen and found a post-it note on the table.

——There is something to eat in the microwave, remember to eat it.

A simple request is like a sandwich that is still warm in the microwave.She Gengmubei was taken care of like a human being, and this feeling really made her not know how to repay.She thought, picking up the warm sandwich and biting it into her mouth, simply, this is the best delicacy in the world.

On New Year's Eve, every family should put up lanterns and festoons to prepare for the New Year, but as a leader, they still have to go to work even if it is the New Year.Xiaonan can handle the affairs of the village properly by himself, and occasionally helps Nagato manage Akatsuki when he has free time. In Xiaonan's words, this is efficiency.

Although Saraki Kita intended to report the results of this trip years ago, it is a pity that she got up late, and it was past five o'clock after packing up and eating. Kakuzu and the others came back to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner together. Nagato Xiaonan called away to report that the result of the trip was really inappropriate, and it was okay to be a day late, so he went to the rooftop of the tower with a New Year gift.

The roof has been newly decorated, with a few more long tables and a few portable chairs and sofas. Fortunately, the place is big enough. Even if these things are placed, there is still room for a large pot of pine trees to welcome the new year.

Members of Akatsuki, except Uchiha Madara, whose alias is A Fei, is not there, everyone else is there, but no one is wearing Akatsuki robes except Itachi and Kisame. It seems that this is the first time to celebrate the New Year in Akatsuki, but no one has told whether it is today or not. Wearing uniforms, everyone is wearing their favorite yukata, and Konan is wearing the same one that Saragi Kita bought at Konoha before.

Xiaonan sat on the simple sofa and played cards with Nagato. This time Nagato appeared in his own body, with red hair, he looked like a little boy.Scorpion and Kisame were processing the ingredients, Didara and Itachi were cleaning the dishes, and Kakuzu was arranging the kitchen utensils.When Zarakibei came out of the building gate, Xiaonan sneered.

"You climbed the stairs?!"

Saraki Kita smiled and gestured.

— Digestion.

Nagato laughed out loud, as gentle as an innocent boy.The rest of the people simply greeted each other, Didara happily called Sister Bei, and Itachi also said hello.Saraki Kita nodded and waved, as quiet and peaceful as ever.

Going straight to the long table in front of the door pine, there are piles of gifts on it. Akatsuki's custom is to give gifts to each other during the New Year. In order to distinguish them, they also left names on each pile. Large and small packages were put away in order, even a few were put in the pile with A Fei written on it.

After finishing all this, Saragi Kita walked towards the simple sofa without any intention of helping to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner.Akatsuki's New Year's Eve dinner is done by the male members. As for Nagato, he is the leader so he doesn't have to do this.In previous years, when they were preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner, the three of them would play cards, but no one had protested against this.

The meaning of playing cards is to win money, Zarakibei is really not very good at this aspect, 1000 tael a hand, and when he loses 6000 tael, Zarakibei stops playing.The one who took over was Scorpion who had washed the dishes, and on the other side, Itachi also washed the fruits and put them on the table.

"How much did you lose?"

——Six thousand.

Saraki Kita made a gesture, grabbed an apple and started to eat it. When Nagato shuffled the cards, he took the time to say, "Bring me one."

Throwing the full-colored apple to Nagato, he heard Konan's words again.

"I want oranges."

"I want it too." Xie said when he took out the money. Zarakibei threw a half-sized green orange to Xie. With an apple in his mouth, he sat next to Xiao Nan and began to peel the orange. Xiao Nan was very happy when he won the money. Kuo Zaraki took a bite of the apple dangling from his mouth and began to add chips to the table.After a round of cards was sorted out, Zarakibei's oranges were also peeled, and they were placed in Xiao Nan's hands, and continued to eat the apples that Xiao Nan had bitten half of.

"It's over, I have a premonition that I'm going to lose." Xiao Nan swallowed the orange in his mouth and said helplessly, Zaraki Bei glanced at the cards and decided not to say anything.

"You can't always win, right? I have to win a few times." Nagato said while arranging cards. Xiaonan won more times than him, and just now he was only one who didn't win or lose. situation.

"Feng Shui takes turns, luck can't always be on your side." Scorpion said, and took the lead to draw a five of spades.

"Luck is also a kind of strength." Xiao Nan said, throwing out a seven of diamonds.

Itachi hadn’t played this in Konoha before. In fact, he didn’t have many recreational activities. The only entertainment besides practicing was to take care of Sasuke. Now he was standing next to the scorpions with an apple and watched them play. Look at it with gusto.Didara came over after finishing her work and asked, "What are you playing? I want to play too."

"Let's go." Nagato said casually, letting go of Xiaonan's square seven, and added, "Catch black A."

"Oh, take me with you. Um, Uncle Scorpion, your card is a good six! Um!"

"Tsk, Deidara, shut up, learn from Itachi and watch." Scorpion said, and Itachi who was called was dumbfounded.At this time, Jiaodu shouted, "I said you should finish your work before playing, where is the wine?"

"I haven't picked up the wine yet, I've already ordered it." Xiao Nan took the time to say something.

"How much?"

"The amount in previous years, you wait to get it, they close at seven."

"What time is it?" Scorpion asked, Zaragi Bei looked at the west-slanting sun and said.

—A quarter past six.

"Then go get it, Kakuzu, Itachi, Deidara, you go." Nagato said without raising his head, and cut off Xiaonan's card, Itachi just nodded and said it was Xiaonan, "Don't, Itachi He’s wearing a uniform, and he’s still underage, what an image.” When he said that, he slapped Nagato complainingly and said, “Why are you stopping me, we are one family.”

Itachi stood on the side in a daze, not knowing whether to go or not.

"You beat me so many times in my family." Nagato said jokingly, and played a beautiful hand of good cards. Scorpion said, "Good cards, but mine is not bad." OKXiaonan expressed his apologies, closed the cards in his hand, pretended to look pitifully at Sarakibei, and said, "I will definitely lose this hand."

The other corner had already called Didara away and jumped off the roof directly. This time Itachi probably understood that he didn't have to go.

On this side, Saraki Kita smiled, took the card and looked at it hastily, and it was returned to Xiao Nan's hand, she decided not to say anything.

When the scorpion card was about to run out, Xiaonan finally got the chance to play the card, but was stopped by Nagato again.

"Tsk, you stopped me again."

"Can I stop you with this card?"

After going back and forth, the cards in his hand were almost out, and there was only the last card left in Xie's hand, and he could win in sight, but Xiao Nan seized the opportunity to play all the cards in his hand in one go, and it took a long time for the last card to be revealed. Gate and Scorpion put down their cards directly.

Ah, the ace of spades is in Konan's hands, and both Nagato and Scorpio lost.

"What about the agreed family? You cheated me again, how many times have I let you go!" Nagato was filled with righteous indignation, and Xiao Nan shuffled the cards with a smile and said, "How can it be called cheating~"

"Prevent everything, it's hard to guard against house thieves." Scorpion complained, and put the lost 1000 taels on Xiaonan's side, Xiaonan shuffled the cards while turning his head and said to Sarakibei, "Don't worry, I will give you all the money you lose. come back~"

"You win more." Nagato complained, Saragi nodded with a smile, Xiaonan pouted, glanced at Itachi who had been watching for a long time and asked, "Does Itachi play?"

Before Itachi could speak, Scorpion gave up some space for Itachi. The space was not big, but he could sit down.The idea of ​​wanting to refuse at first faded away, and he nodded and said, "I'm not good at playing."

"It's very simple, just play two games." Nagato was very gentle to the 13-year-old boy.

As a result, a rookie really lost miserably in front of Nagato Xiaonanxie and these old fritters. Even if he opened Sharingan on the way, he lost 3000 taels. He was unlucky, and he got the Ace of Spades in the first place. .

When it was getting dark, Kakuzu and Didara also came back, and Saragi went to the electric switch on one side to turn on the lights on this floor, and the whole floor was brightly lit.

Itachi lost money at the beginning, and started to win when he was able to play later, and finally won 1000 taels. He was full of joy. After seeing the wine brought by Didara and Kadotsu, he began to panic.

Four cases of beer in 24 bottles, six dozen sake in twelve bottles, he has never drunk alcohol in his life.

"Well, are you done drinking so much?" Itachi asked weakly. People who were too busy playing cards didn't have time to talk to him. Clan, but still a kid.

——It’s good enough to drink, ninjas can use chakra to dissolve alcohol, don’t you know?

Itachi was stunned, he didn't expect Saraki Kita to answer him, but it was the first time he had heard about Chakra detoxifying alcohol.She shook her head and said, "It's the first time I've heard of it."

- You can try it tonight.

After Kakuzu came back, he prepared tomorrow's cold dishes according to the memo list on the side. Everyone's favorites and taboos were recorded on it. At about eight o'clock, the cold dishes for eight people were ready, and the playing team became Nagato Scorpion Didara Kisame, Sarakikita and Itachi were playing shogi, and Konan was watching the battle. Judging from the current situation, his lover had a better chance of winning.

Around 08:30, Jiaodu started to cook, and the strong aroma wafted over immediately, distracting Itachi a little.

"It smells so good, the horns are really powerful." Xiaonan leaned on Zarakibei and sighed. Zarakibei nodded, looked at the chess on the board, and then she had to admit that this 14-year-old boy is really powerful. According to Itachi, no Playing shogi, I just looked at the rules with Sharingan at the beginning of the game. So far, they have played three games, and Sarakibei only feels that it is getting more and more difficult to win.His thoughts are far superior to those of his peers, but he is still worse than Xiao Nan, and his thoughts of getting rid of him are also weaker.

Just as he was thinking about it, the sound of an eagle chirping sounded. Whether it was a card player, a chess player, or someone who was cooking, they all looked at the flying eagle hovering outside. After circling a little, the big brown eagle landed on Zaraki North body.

"What's the matter?" Nagato asked casually, and then everyone went their separate ways.Saragi Kita took out the scroll tied to the eagle's leg, let the eagle fly, and unwrapped the seal to reveal the original appearance of the scroll.In addition to the scroll there is a small strip.Zaraki Bei put the scroll aside, unfolded the note, Xiao Nan untied the sealed scroll, and after the white smoke cleared, there was a bottle of crimson red wine.

——Thanks to your reminder, I thought of an interesting technique, this is a thank you gift.

Orochimaru is definitely intentional.

Saraki Kita thought angrily.

Xiao Nan put the red wine tied with a ribbon on the table, took the small note, and could tell who wrote it from the handwriting.

"You went to see Orochimaru?"

Asked bluntly, Itachi was stunned for half a second and then returned to normal, Saraki Kita nodded and explained.

——It happened half a year ago.

Half a year ago, when Saraki Kita was going to check Itachi, it was reasonable to go to see Orochimaru.

"What did you say, he never forgot to give you a gift during the Chinese New Year?" Judging from the bottle's logo, it has been aged for a long time and is of high quality. Orochimaru loves red wine, and this bottle of red wine must be high-quality in his collection.

——I don’t know, chatting nonsense, and drawing [-] milliliters of blood from me, it should be about this.

Konan spoke softly, and angrily slapped Zaragi Kita in a blatant way.

"You are sick, why did you let him smoke!"

——Sorry, sorry, not next time.

"Tsk, I'm really annoying you, really." Konan poked Saragi Kita's waist, obviously losing his temper at her casually letting Orochimaru draw blood.Saraki Kita smiled and avoided taking the bottle of red wine, looked at it carefully, and said.

——It's really worth it to exchange [-] milliliters of blood for this bottle.

Konan was even angrier, and increased his strength to directly pinch the soft flesh around Saraki Kita's waist, so strong that Saraki Kita couldn't help but gasp.

Itachi witnessed the scene of domestic violence and didn't know what to do.

Sarakibei was pinched in pain and stood up to dodge. Xiaonan felt that the punishment was not enough, and pointed at Sarakibei with fierce eyes, "Come here and explain clearly, what is it worth? I let you hunt down Orochimaru, Who asked you to give him blood? Are you sincerely angry with me!"

Saraki Kita repeatedly shook his head and waved his hands, rubbing the place where he was pinched, laughing and avoiding Xiao Nan's pursuit.

Koto glanced at the somewhat messy long table, and said to several people, "Stop playing, clean up the table." Itachi glanced at Sarakibei and Xiaonan who had already run away to fight, and felt that this game of chess was It's not bad that he can't finish playing, at least he can save 1000 taels from losing.With that in mind, he got up and followed Kakutsu's instructions and began to clear the table.
