Chapter 23 The True and False Prince
Shikamaru saw that the time was almost over, "Naruto, start to act!" Naruto agreed, Shikamaru and Naruto left. Ino activated the art of turning around and controlled Prince Hide. Jingzang held the unconscious Ino body and protected her safety.
On the high platform, Chiyohime praised the players' excellence. Xiu stood up and seemed to get up and leave. Chiyohime was puzzled, "Hi?" Ino, in Prince Hide's body, "I'll go and get rid of it!" Chiyohime did not doubt it, but she felt that Xiu's expression was a bit unnatural, so she followed her out. Daming said, "This year is really an elite gather!"
Ino controls Xiu, get rid of the knife and comes to the prize area, where there are big and small boxes. Naruto and Shikamaru sneak in, Naruto carefully looked at Xiu's body and appearance, "This is the prince!" Ino urges, "Hurry up!" Naruto launches the transformation technique and becomes Prince Xiu. The fake prince said, "Then I'm going." The fake prince left, Ino unravels the art of turning around. Prince Xiu recovers, a little surprised. Shikamaru handes the letter to Xiu, "Shishu, this is the letter transferred from your father from his country." Xiu asked, "Are you?" Shikamaru said, "I am the ninja who was entrusted by the Kingdom of His Kingdom to take you away."
At the time of the battle of the Iodan and Tamao both finished sushi and raised empty plates. Ino recovered, "How is the situation?" Jingzang said, "Ding Ji is still eating." Ino was angry, "What is he doing?" Ding Ji looked at the situation of the other four contestants and stuffed the remaining sushi into his mouth and swallowed it. The glasses' old man announced that the time was up. The two unknown men were eliminated. The old man of the family, "Stay rest, these three people will enter the finals!" Ding Ji was comfortable, "It's so delicious!" Ino was worried, "Ding Ji won't forget all the arrangements, right?" Jingzang said, "It won't be."
Gaotai, this country's daimyo tastes sushi, "Sushi is not bad, it won't rot." The fake prince walked back, Chiyo Hime said, "Xiu, do you eat sushi?" The fake prince sat down, "I... isn't right, I have no appetite." Chiyo Hime was a little worried, "Is that so? That's not good." He walked back with a knife, "What's wrong?" The fake prince said, "Nothing, I'm just shocked by everyone's appetite." He felt that Prince Xiu was a little unnatural, but he didn't see any flaws.
It was evening, the bonfire was lit, and the final final was finally about to begin. The competition was barbecue. Ding Ci was overjoyed, "Barbecue!" The glasses' old man said, "This is provided by Kankanyuan, a famous restaurant in Castle Town!" A black-haired woman stood behind with a smile on her face. She was obviously the manager of Kankanyuan. The barbecue and other food were put on, and the old man announced the start, "Eat hard!" The three contestants started their own barbecue.
Gao Yan, Shikamaru sneaked back. Ino asked, "Is it going well?" Shikamaru said, "It's okay for the time being." Jing Zang said, "If you barbecue, Dingji will definitely be fine." However, Ino thought it might not be necessary, and Shikamaru was confused.
On the field, Ding Ci was greedying the barbecue, stacks of empty plates were placed next to it. The bald old man Ji Ye was swallowing with sweat, not showing any weakness. The ponytail girl Yuyu puffed her cheeks and gritted her teeth, but was slightly behind. Ding Ci was driving her horses and swept the clouds at full speed, gradually becoming the leader. Daming kept saying that she was powerful and admired Ding Ci. Yuyu was angry and embarrassed, "Okay, look at my second sword flow!" She held the chopsticks in her hands and picked up the meat, and her speed naturally caught up. Chiyohime was shocked, "So powerful, use her hands to shoot the left and right!" Daming laughed, "I used all the ultimate skill!"
Isono was dissatisfied, "Look at my ultimate skill, play tricks!" He also started with his hands, and the speed was extremely fast. Chiyo Hime said, "That person can also have both hands!" Daming said, "Wrong, he put the meat online with his left hand and grilled the meat with his right hand. The left and right hand movements are different!" Jing Zang also admired, "This old man can actually use it in one mind!" What shocked the king and minister of this country even more was Ding Ji, and only saw the hollow plates stacked quickly to cover Ding Ji. Chiyo Hime said, "I can't see the chopsticks at all!" Yuzuo was surprised, "Who is this person? So fast!"
Ino felt something was wrong, "If this continues, Ding Ji will be the first one!" Shikamaru cut, "This idiot, you obviously agreed to him that he must be the second one." Ding Ji picked up the last piece of barbecue, and Seungri was already wavering to him. Shikamaru launched the shadow technique in time, tied Ding Ji, so that he could not eat the last piece of meat. Isono snatched in front of Ding Ji and ate the last piece of barbecue. Jingzang said anxiously, "Shikamaru, unlock the shadow imitation technique quickly!" Shikamaru hurriedly untie the shadow technique, let Ding Ji eat his piece of meat, and took the lead in Yuyu.
The old man announced the end of the game. "The winner of this year's Isono!" Isono was excited, "I won, I'm the King of Chi!" Ding Ji looked unwilling, and Tamago was also a little dejected. Shikamaru and Jingzang both breathed a sigh of relief, and Ino smiled bitterly, "Oh, Ding Ji almost won the championship, and finally there was no danger."
Afterwards, Daming of this country commended the three of them, "Good job, very beautiful!" Yuyu said, "I lost!" Dingji said, "There is no way!" Iino was surprised, "You stopped at the last moment!"
Daming began to announce the award, and the champion Isono won a house. Jingzang praised, "The reward for this champion is really generous!" The family handed the deed to Isono, and Isono was very happy to receive it. Ding Ci, who won the runner-up, received a big box, and Ding Ci thanked him. The third-place Yuyu could only get the small box, so Yuyu had to laugh. Jingzang smiled and said, "The reward for this first place is so generous, but the runner-up and third-place are a little shabby." The family announced that the imperial meal competition was over.
Chiyohime was very excited, "Is the game very interesting, show?" The fake prince had to stammer, Naruto complained, "Why are you hungry now!"
In the evening, the top three players in the Imperial Season Competition talked about this wonderful game on the street. Yuzu said, "Let's fight again if you have the chance in the future!" Ding Ji said goodbye to Isono and Yuzu, "Goodbye!"
Ding Ji walked on the street with a big box on his back, Shikamaru appeared, "You forgot all your action plan!" Ino said, "If you eat like that, you almost got the first place!" Jing Zang said, "You are too involved in the game!" Ding Ji laughed, Ino was angry, "Why are you laughing, you!" Shikamaru looked at the box, "Is it here?" Ding Ji said, "If you act according to the plan..." Ino was still angry, "Don't mention any action plan!" Jing Zang said, "Prince Xiu is inside, you can feel it."
Then the four people came to the accommodation hotel, and the proprietress welcomed him warmly. When they arrived at the room, Jingzang observed around and confirmed that there were no pursuers. "It's OK." Shikamaru nodded and opened the box with Ino. Prince Xiu came out of it, "Can you come out?" Ino said, "It's safe." Xiu asked, "This is..." Shikamaru said, "The hotel under the city." Xiu said, "Is the hotel for travelers to spend the night?" Dingji said, "It's much narrower than the city, but it's only one night, so I'll just rest!" Xiu said, "Let's go tomorrow?"
Shikamaru nodded, Jingzang said, "Aren't we going to evacuate overnight?" Shikamaru said, "It's too dangerous to take the young master to move tonight, so I'd better wait for dawn to set off." Xiu said, "That's it! Can I go and see what the street looks like?" Shikamaru agreed, Xiu opened the window and watched the pedestrians on the street and the surrounding shops. Xiu was surprised, "This is my first time in the town!" Dingji said, "But haven't you been living in the city all the time?" Xiu said, "I can't move freely in the city, let alone come to the city town. Because I am a hostage..." Shikamaru's three people sympathized with his experience. Jingzang comforted, "Well, this time I leave this country and return to your country, I will no longer be hostages. The days in the future will be very exciting..."
There were fewer pedestrians on the street, and Xiu proposed to go shopping on the street before departure. Dingji said, "Shopping?" Shikamaru said, "That's not good, right?" Jingzang said, "Yes, there is a danger of exposing his identity." Xiu asked, "I live in this country, but I know nothing about this country. I want to take the last chance to have a good look at the castle town." Shikamaru and others had no choice but to agree to his request.
The tactic of exchanging identities between the young master, Hiroshi, who was hostage in "This Country", was successful in "Shiroshi" exchanged identities. After that, Hei An would just send the young master to "Out Country", but Hiroshi suddenly said that he wanted to stroll around the town.
It was dawn, and Naruto was still sleeping soundly on the couch that originally belonged to Prince Hide. The sun shone in, and Naruto got up in a daze, "Where is this? Ah, it's not good, I'm going to get rid of the transformation technique when I sleep!" A voice came from outside, and it was the maid who informed Prince Hide that it was time for breakfast. Naruto hurriedly made seals and turned into Prince Hide, "I'll go now!"
In the hotel, Prince Xiu woke up. Shikamaru said, "Awakened? After breakfast, we will set off immediately." Jingzang said, "Don't worry about this outfit, you know nothing about this country. Similarly, people in this country would not expect the young master to appear here." Shikamaru said, "As long as the friends in the city are not exposed..." Jingzang said, "Let's take action as soon as possible! That guy Naruto has always been a bit unreliable."
In the city, the fake prince was eating rice and dishes quickly, which surprised Daming and the princess. Chiyohime said, "Shu, today's appetite is good!" The fake prince was stunned, "Oh, maybe it was influenced by yesterday's imperial meal competition!"
In the hotel, Prince Xiu had breakfast with the ninjas. Looking at the simple meal, Xiu picked up a fish, "This is..." Dingji said, "Dried fish!" Xiu pointed to the bowl, Jingzang said, "That's bean dregs!" Prince Xiu said, "It's all things I've never eaten!" Shikamaru said, "Stop looking, eat quickly! We can stay here until noon at most."
After the meal, Xiu took out a poster, "Then let's go to Tiantian'an first!" Ding Ji agreed, "Okay! The excitement of the Oshiki competition has revived!" Ino criticized, "What are you doing so hard?" Shikamaru sighed, "It seems to have turned into a food tour!" Jingzang was a little worried, "The night is long and dreams are too long! Shikamaru, it's better to leave here as soon as possible." Shikamaru had no choice, "I promised him yesterday..." Xiu said, "Then let's go!"
In the air, a big clay bird appeared, and the duo of Qinglong and Jade Girl appeared. Deidala said, "A closer look, this country is so broken! I can't even get excited. I said, Brother Scorpion, how about using my art to clear it in one breath this time? It doesn't matter?" Scorpion agreed.
On the street, Prince Hide was surfing around with great enthusiasm. Jingzang said, "I'm worried that Naruto will be exposed early." Shikamaru said, "If I had known, I would have told Naruto not to expose it so early... Ah, it's so troublesome!" Dingji smiled, "The action plan has been disrupted!" Ino said, "Don't be so happy!"
After finding Tiantian'an, Prince Xiu was overjoyed, "Here!" Ding Ji showed an excited look, and he rushed into the store, "Auntie, I want a big steamed bun!" The waiter fat aunt stood beside him, watching Isono, Yuyu and the other two were eating steamed buns wildly. The three men met here, all of whom were extremely surprised, and then relieved. After all, they were all foodies. The three decided to compete again, "I won't show mercy this time!"
Shikamaru and others were depressed, and Ino complained, "It's true, who are you shopping for!" Jingzang said, "Sorry... Your Highness Xiu, are you eating steamed buns too?" Ino put a plate of steamed buns in front of Prince Xiu, but Prince Xiu remembered Chiyohime. She always handed the steamed buns to Xiu. Xiu was a little melancholy, "This time I leave this country, it will be difficult to see Chiyohime in the future!"
Wangcheng, study time. Chiyohime is practicing painting, and the old man is teaching the fake prince. "The following article tells the story of... to warn the people who read the books for precious time..." The fake prince was drowsy and kept dozing off. The old man was dissatisfied, "I want to read, I can thorn the thighs, and blood flowed to the heels!" Chiyohime couldn't stand it and pinched the fake prince hard. Naruto woke up in shock, "It hurts to say it!" The old man snorted, and the fake prince immediately repeated the words of thighs, and then he hid it from the old man. But Chiyohime felt a little strange, "What do you think?"
Outside, Shikamaru and others, along with Tamao and Iino, came to a ramen shop. Iino said, "I want to eat this ramen again too!" Tamao said, "That strong taste is addictive!" Shikamaru complained, "Hey, why are you here too?" Dingji said, "Okay, Shikamaru, isn't it just a cover with them? How about my action plan?" Ino was angry, "You just want to say the word Action Plan!" Jingzang said, "Okay, OK, as long as we don't destroy our return journey." Dingji raised his arm and said, "Come on, eat it!" Ino followed in, "Is there any low-calorie recipe?" Shikamaru exhaled, looked at the direction of the royal city, and was a little worried about Naruto.
In the ramen shop, everyone ate ramen. Prince Xiu said it was delicious again and again. Ding Ji smiled and said, "Right!" Xiu said, "After eating this, let's go eat the barbecue from Kankanyuan!" Ding Ji said, "Before this, let's taste the ramen here! Not to mention anything else, this one... the entrance is thick, but the aftertaste is very refreshing... So I can't even get tired of eating a few bowls... Boss, let's have another bowl!" Prince Xiu said to go to the toilet and got up and left. Jing Zang shouted, "Hey, young master, don't think about sneaking back to the city alone, it will not do us any good." Prince Xiu stopped and Shikamaru said, "I advise you to give up! Although I don't know what you want to go back and do."
