"The barbecue here tastes really great. Thank you for the treat this time, Mr. Asuma."

After enjoying the delicious barbecue, all the people from Class 8 and Class 10 came to the open space outside the store, stretched out with refreshed teeth, and felt that all the frustration and loss of the qualifying competition came from their hearts.

Sweeping it all away, he said to Asuma with words of gratitude.

"I really should thank Asma. After this roast meal, I feel like he was bleeding profusely."

Shikamaru's tone seemed to be a bit gloating.

"Hey, Shikamaru, don't tell such tragic things."

After hearing what Shikamaru said, Asuma looked at the completely shriveled wallet in his hand and sighed with great melancholy.

I originally planned to finish the barbecue, and the remaining money was for a date in the next few days.

But now it seems that plans can never keep up with changes.

Who would have known that besides a big eater in his team, there would be another big eater?

If I had known better, I would not have said, "You can eat freely." Looking back now, I feel like I shot myself in the foot.

Asuma said, he glanced at Hinata from the corner of his eyes. Although compared to women of the same age, his figure was indeed a little more prominent, but with those pure white eyes, it seemed that the other party was from the Hyuga clan, not the Akimichi clan.

No connection at all.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Teacher Asuma."

As if aware of Asuma's gaze, Hinata blushed slightly and quickly bowed in return.

Then, she raised her head and asked cautiously: "Well, um, am I causing trouble?"

Asuma waved his hand, and although his heart was bleeding, he still had a relaxed smile on his face.

"No, it's nothing. It's just a little extra budget. And seeing how happy you are eating, it's worth it."

Although he is not a student under his leadership, he is still a young junior in the village. As a senior, he cannot be careless at this time.

Impression points are the most important.

Especially when the woman you like is standing next to you, you can't worry about this kind of thing.

Although the budget for this barbecue meal is just 'a little' too much.

"Hinata, do you eat too much? It's the first time I've seen someone who can eat better than Choji. And you've eaten so much and your figure hasn't gotten out of shape."

Ino said to Hinata enviously.

Because she didn't want to gain weight, Ino didn't eat too much during the barbecue.

"Nothing like this, I just eat a little more than ordinary people. I just don't know why, but I have been very hungry since the competition in the morning."

When Ino said this, Hinata knew that she was a little too rude tonight.

But there was nothing she could do, she was so hungry that she ate a little more than usual.

"It's probably because the chakra has been absorbed. When a ninja is short of chakra, he can indeed quickly restore his chakra by supplying food."

As a Jonin, Kurenai could tell at a glance what Hinata was hungry about.

Chakra is the energy extracted from the combination of the human body's spiritual energy and physical energy. Needless to say spiritual energy, most of the human body's physical energy comes from the food that is usually supplied. After systematic exercise, it is combined with the spiritual energy.

, generate new chakra.

With the relative growth of spiritual energy, the higher the quality of the human body, the more chakra it can control.

All ninjas with strong chakra have a good body.

After hearing Hong's analysis, Hinata didn't know if this was the case, but she acquiesced to this statement.

After all, it was indeed after the game that she started to feel hungry.

"Is there anywhere else you need to go next? If not, this is the end of the day and go back to the hotel to rest."

Asuma asked at this time.

"As for me, I still need to buy some snacks. All the snacks I brought have been eaten."

Choji patted his bulging belly and said.

"Then let me go with you, Choji. Ino, what about you? Do you want to go there with me?"

Shikamaru looked at Ino.

Ino said rudely: "I don't want it. I'm going to buy clothes and cosmetics. Hinata, how about you come with me?"

Facing Ino's invitation, Hinata hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.

"I'm going to buy high-end dog food, so I won't go with you."

Kiba said as he lifted Akamaru off his head.

"I also have something to do and need to buy some ninja tools."

As the only genin here to advance to the finals, Shino was not at ease at all at this moment. Facing the finals with so many strong opponents, he also felt tremendous pressure.

After deciding what to do, Shikamaru and the others said goodbye to Asuma and Kurenai, and then left directly.

Only Asuma and Kurenai were left.

"These guys are really not afraid of strangers at all. In that case, how about we go out and continue shopping?"

Asuma suggested to Kurenai.

"Didn't you just say you wanted to go back?"

"Uh... I'm actually not that tired."

Asuma scratched his head in embarrassment.

"That's a perfunctory answer, Asuma."

Hong sighed.

"Have it?"

"Forget it, that's it for today. If there's anything else, let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm a little tired, so I'll go back to the hot springs first."

Hong pressed his aching shoulder, turned towards the platform, and started waiting for the bus.

"Wait a minute, I'll go back to the hot springs with you too."

When Asuma saw Kurenai leaving without hesitation, she immediately ran to catch up, as if she was afraid that she would be thrown away.

The next day.

As the alarm rang, Kakashi climbed out of bed on time.

I shook my dizzy head. Although a whole night had passed and I had taken hangover medicine, I still felt a little dizzy.

"Sure enough, I shouldn't have drank so much with that guy Obito last night."

That's what he said, but there was no complaint in Kakashi's tone, but more of a sense of relief.

After all, there are too few people in this world who can treat each other sincerely.

And most of them are not in Konoha. Indulging yourself in front of others like this makes you feel like you are not yourself.

It is precisely because we have known each other since childhood that this emotion is more real and pure, instead of being filled with all kinds of intrigues and elaborate calculations.

After the drunkenness subsided a little, Kakashi slowly walked out of bed, obviously feeling that his steps were more frivolous than usual.

The flaw cannot be exposed then. With this thought in mind, Kakashi put on his slippers, walked to the cupboard, took out another bottle of hangover pills, and took two pills.

Perhaps it was psychological comfort. After taking the hangover medicine, Kakashi obviously felt less dizzy.

After dressing and washing, Kakashi was quickly prepared. After checking that there was nothing wrong with his equipment, he opened the door and walked out.

"You're taking too much time, Kakashi-sensei, it's already nine o'clock!"

As soon as I arrived outside, I heard Naruto's very rude scolding.

Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura were already waiting in the corridor for his arrival.

"I'm really sorry. I accidentally overslept last night. After all, the bed here is so comfortable, even more comfortable than the bed at home."

Although an explanation was given, it was obvious that neither Naruto, nor Sasuke, nor Sakura actually bought it.

Maybe it was because he was used to procrastinating, and these three people might not believe a word of the excuses he was looking for.

"That bushy-browed teacher has already taken his team out for special training, and so has Hong-sensei. But in the end, Kakashi-sensei is the only one holding us back."

Naruto folded his hands in front of his chest and continued to accuse.

"Don't be so anxious. As the saying goes, those who come last will prevail? Moreover, I have found a very good teacher for you, Naruto, and I will never let you down."

Kakashi said.

"What? New teacher?"

Naruto was stunned.

"Yeah. Is there any problem?"
