[Host chooses option 3: Eat with Naruto and invite Naruto to stay, reward granted: Multi Shadow Clone Technique. Please work hard to complete the mission. If the mission fails, the reward will be revoked.]
The system gave the reward, but this time there was something extra.
Rewards are given after making a choice, but for something like this, if you don't complete the mission, it will be taken back.
In other words, these missions aren't guaranteed just by selecting them; you need to be more careful going forward.
"Naruto, don't add too much water, see that line there?"
Sasuke guided Naruto while cooking, and inwardly began thinking about how to make use of the Multi Shadow Clone Technique.
Since many people were watching around him, it wasn't appropriate for his main body to train chakra here, but shadow clones could do it.
As for the training location, first he would check if he could train inside the space, then...
"Sasuke, I think I'm too dumb."
Naruto never admitted he was dumb, but when he saw that the steamed rice turned into a pot of porridge, his expression immediately fell.
"As long as it's edible, that's fine. Use the ladle to serve it out, don't use your hands."
Though Sasuke couldn't cook himself, he could give instructions.
He directed Naruto to serve the dinner, and the two of them sat at the table drinking a bowl of plain porridge, which counted as finishing dinner.
Also, although it was just plain porridge made with water, Naruto still ate it especially happily.
"It's late now. If you're okay with it, stay here tonight and head back in the morning. If something happens this late, I can't be responsible."
After finishing dinner, Sasuke invited Naruto to stay over.
"Uh… is that really okay?"
Naruto had never been a guest at anyone's house before. Being asked so suddenly by Sasuke made his face instantly flush red.
Sure enough, he could have friends, right?
As long as he worked hard enough, this meant he had already made a good friend!
"Suit yourself. I'm not afraid of ghosts."
Sasuke emphasized he wasn't afraid of ghosts, but after hearing that, Naruto imagined Sasuke was actually scared and wanted him to stay as company.
"You're obviously scared. Then tonight, Lord Naruto will kindly stay and face it with you!"
Naruto felt like a hero now; when Sasuke was scared, he had to save him.
"No talking in your sleep tonight, or I'll hit you!"
Seeing Naruto's smug look, Sasuke slowly stood up and walked toward the bedroom.
Some things in the bedroom needed to be put away first.
"I'll wash the dishes."
Naruto quickly washed the dishes. Although they weren't perfectly clean, it was something he could manage.
After tidying up, he went to the room and saw Sasuke already lying down, with half the bed left open for him.
Naruto had never had the chance to sleep next to someone before. Looking at Sasuke resting with his eyes closed, Naruto felt his limbs go numb, unsure how to lie down properly.
"Aren't you sleepy?"
Sasuke opened his eyes and looked at Naruto. It really was because he wasn't used to it, wasn't it?
But tonight, Naruto had to stay.
"I thought you were already asleep. Didn't want to disturb you."
Scratching his head awkwardly, Naruto sat on the edge of the bed, took off his shoes, and then lay down.
"Sleep then. I'm tired."
Seeing Naruto already lying down, Sasuke raised his hand with satisfaction and tossed a small toy ball, hitting the switch to turn off the light.
As the light went out, Naruto's breathing immediately tensed, but Sasuke smiled silently, closing his eyes and waiting for Naruto to fall asleep.
