Chapter 29 The Joy of Barbecue
"Hey, Sass, that's my meat!"
"Shut up! Don't think that just because you're the boss you can steal meat from me!"
"Let's see who can act faster!"
"Let's compete! Who's afraid of who!"
The three of them ordered quite a lot of grilled meat, but Aunt Akimichi only gave them one plate of premium beef as a gift.
With Sasuke's tacit approval, Naruto gave half of it to Hinata.
Hashirama and Kurama gave Naruto a thumbs up inside the sealed space.
Then the dispute over the remaining premium beef began.
With a whoosh, Naruto grabbed a fork and swiftly and accurately stabbed at the tempting, oily piece of meat.
"Don't even think about it!"
Sasuke's reaction wasn't too slow either; he grabbed a chopstick in one hand and blocked Naruto's fork.
"How can this be repaired?
What about this move then?"
Without Sasuke noticing, Naruto picked up a fork with his other hand and swiftly attacked the grilled meat while Sasuke's chopsticks and Naruto's fork were locked in a fierce struggle.
In that instant, many images flashed through young Sasuke's mind: his brother's embrace when he was just born, his brother's embrace when he was one year old, his brother's embrace when he was two years old...
wrong!
It's not time to give up yet!
Even though I've lost my hands, I still have my mouth.
His body was forward, his head sprang out like a turtle, his face was ferocious, and he opened his blood-red mouth!
Great, the barbecue is mine!
The bursting juice danced in his mouth, and he closed his eyes, quietly savoring the taste of success.
However, a pulling force was transmitted from the flesh to the teeth.
He opened his eyes and saw that it was Naruto's fork that had pulled the meat to the other end.
stupid!
How could a mere fork compare to my teeth?
The barbecue was being devoured little by little by Sasuke, but Naruto couldn't bring himself to eat it.
Unexpectedly, he even abandoned his human form for the sake of grilling meat, truly awakening the hunting instinct ingrained in his genes.
How utterly helpless this is!
Watching your long-desired barbecue being devoured by your own underlings, and seeing its juices fall into someone else's mouth, isn't that a form of NTR?
This is the only way.
Sasuke! I'm not going to be human anymore!
Sasuke felt that the strength suddenly disappear, followed by a brute force like that of a wild beast.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that Naruto had also let go of the fork and was now eating it directly.
At this point, the chopsticks and forks in the two little ones' hands were completely useless.
Now, all that's left is to tear, tear, tear... with all your might.
Hinata, who had been quietly eating, had already eaten most of the grilled meat, but was shocked by the scene between the two.
The two little ones' mouths were about to touch; this was the last bit of grilled meat.
Naruto raised an eyebrow, clearly meaning: You should give in first.
Sasuke retorted without backing down.
Then...
"How disgusting."
Sasuke loosened his grip, stepped back, and hurriedly wiped his lips with a tissue.
"Waaaaah, my first kiss!"
Naruto never expected that Sasuke would actually dare to persist, and thus lost his first kiss.
Hinata covered her mouth, utterly shocked by what she had just witnessed.
A hint of disbelief lingered in her eyes as she murmured, "Naruto... first kiss... Sasuke..."
Inside the sealed space, Hashirama and Kurama looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
Kurama's gaze toward Hashirama clearly carried a hint of questioning.
After a moment of silence, Kurama slowly spoke, "Damn it... hot mom, is it you who led little Naruto astray?"
Clearly, this image reminded it of the days when Hashirama and Madara freely poured out their sweat.
Although there was no actual action, Kurama was certain that Hashirama's feelings for Madara were definitely not just those of friends.
"Hey! Hey! I'm not gay!"
The argument between the pillars.
"You know, I have a wife and children!"
"Madara is my best friend!"
Hashirama, who already harbored a bit of a wicked thought, simply self-destructed.
"I didn't ask about that evil Uchiha either."
Kurama's calm voice reached Hashirama's ears.
"Oh, hahaha, is that so? I was overthinking it. Oh my, look at this barbecue, it's so delicious."
Hashirama scratched his head and abruptly changed the subject.
But they were still just kids, and soon the two of them started fighting over food again.
As for why they're still fighting over it, haven't they already finished eating all the premium beef?
Because one little Hinata quietly ate a lot of the grilled meat, there wasn't enough left.
In the end, Aunt Akimichi brought over another plate of grilled meat before we were full.
As she left, the surrounding diners stared in shock at Hinata, whose belly hadn't changed much after eating so much grilled meat.
Sasuke and Naruto were also shocked; they hadn't expected Hinata to be able to eat so much.
"It's alright, we have money, Hinata, please eat as much as you like."
These were Naruto's words of comfort when Hinata's face started steaming. Sasuke, who was next to her, nodded in agreement.
Actually, Hinata only ate about 60% full.
Finally, the three little ones packed up some of the remaining barbecued meat, held it in their hands, and walked towards Naruto's house.
Sasuke: Nii-san must have gone through a lot of trouble to send me here to visit Naruto, so I'm going to bring him some grilled meat!
Hinata: Father has been busy with affairs at home lately, and Neji hasn't been acting quite right lately, so I'll bring some barbecue back for them to eat.
Naruto: Aww! My teacher hasn't eaten for months and now he wants some barbecue. As his disciple, how can I not bring him some?
Before long, the three children returned to Naruto's apartment, where a familiar figure was already waiting downstairs.
He rolled his eyes at the three little ones.
Who is he?
That's right! It's our Uncle Hyuga Toru!
"Young Miss, you're finally back!"
Hinata Toru's tone was somewhat helpless; it was already two or three in the afternoon.
Naruto and his friends decided to go for barbecue on the spur of the moment, and because they ordered and ate a lot, it took quite a while.
When he arrived, the three little ones were still on their way back.
Then a purple-haired member of the Yugao appeared and told him that his young lady had gone out to eat barbecue and that he should wait.
Sigh, how can I, a special Jonin of the Hyuga clan, listen to her?
Of course, they can. After all, they are members of the Anbu directly under the Hokage, and they are the ones who specifically guard the Jinchuriki.
The conflict between the Uchiha clan and the Hokage's faction has just eased a bit, and I don't want to do anything that would undermine unity.
"Ah, Uncle Toru, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."
Hinata saw her Uncle Tetsu and walked over with her box containing grilled meat.
"Naruto-kun, Sasuke-kun, see you next time."
Hinata held the box in one hand and said goodbye to Naruto and Sasuke with the other.
"Okay, come again next time!"
Naruto waved happily, and Sasuke waved back a few times to say goodbye.
See you next time.
Yes, that's very Uchiha.
