143: Chapter 143 Sai's naming logicNaruto didn't want to make any complicated dishes.Since Asuma mentioned barbecue just now, Naruto might as well prepare a barbecue-themed meal.
"Tell me what you want to eat today.I'll go buy some groceries now!" Naruto looked at everyone.
Suddenly, an idea struck Choji: "Boss, I think we should just go buy it ourselves.You just need to be responsible for making it!"
He was thinking of buying everything he wanted to eat and then asking Naruto to cook them for him.
The others immediately understood what Shikamaru was planning and asked to go buy the ingredients themselves.
Shikamaru suddenly interrupted everyone at this moment: "I'm sorry, everyone, I have some urgent matters to deal with, so I can't accompany you today."
"What?Shikamaru always spoils the fun!" Ino complained.
"Let's put it this way, Shikamaru.We haven't even prepared the ingredients yet, so it will take some time before we start.You can come over after you're done!" said Naruto.
"Yes, Shikamaru, then just listen to the boss.Come over early when you are done with your work!" Choji agreed.
"Okay, there's really nothing I can do about you!" Shikamaru actually gradually began to like this kind of atmosphere.
Naruto then informed everyone of the barbecue location, "Then I'll go to the venue and get ready!"
After Naruto left, Sai, who was at a loss, was also dragged to the vegetable market by several people.
Asuma looked at Kakashi worriedly, "It seems the Akatsuki has completely messed up the border.As long as they don't give up their plan to capture the tailed beasts, they will definitely come looking for Naruto in the end!"
"I say you don't have to exclude me.I also care about Naruto's affairs!After all, if it weren't for Granny Chiyo, Gaara of the Sand Ninja would have died!" Shikamaru pushed the door in again at this moment.It turned out that his purpose was to come back here to get the news.
"Even though Akatsuki is so active now, Lady Tsunade still sends Naruto out on missions.How strong is he now?Can you handle it if you encounter Akatsuki?" Asuma asked.
Kakashi lowered his head and thought for a moment: "Akatsuki usually operates in teams of two.My eyes aren't proficient in using my new ability yet, so I can only hold off one!I haven't really seen Naruto display his strength yet, but from what I've heard from Master Jiraiya, he should be above me!"
"It's unbelievable!Has Naruto grown to this extent?" Although Asuma was shocked at the speed at which Naruto's strength increased, he was also sincerely happy for him.
"It's true!Although this news is too shocking, but considering Naruto's talent, this is within my expectations!" Shikamaru finally confirmed his guess.
"So if we really encounter Akatsuki, protecting ourselves should not be a problem!" Kakashi said carefully.
After all, there are differences in strength among the members of Akatsuki.If you meet Itachi, he will be much more difficult to deal with than others!
Shikamaru frowned and thought secretly that he needed to know more information so that he could make a more correct response when the crisis came.
Then the three of them chatted about other things.After that, Shikamaru remembered Naruto's instructions and since it was not late, he rushed to the dinner place.
At this time, the ingredients that everyone bought had already given off an enticing aroma under Naruto's cooking!So they couldn't wait to sit down at the makeshift table.
The outgoing Ino quickly sat down next to Sai, "I want to sit with Sai-kun!"
Sakura looked at the love-brained Ino with a dark face: "It seems that all my advice to her just now was in vain!"
Looking at this joyful scene, Naruto couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "It's a pity that my Hinata-chan is on a mission.It would be great if she was here too!"
"Everyone, I'm not too late, am I?" Shikamaru's slightly lazy voice came.
"You're just in time!You really know how to manage time.You came right after I finished it!" Naruto said with a smile.
Having not tasted Naruto's cooking for a long time, Choji couldn't wait any longer: "Now that everyone is here, let's eat!"
Ino slapped back Choji's hand that was reaching for the barbecue and shouted, "I'm talking to Choji!"
As soon as she spoke, she realized she had lost her composure and quickly lowered her voice to behave like a lady: "At least introduce ourselves to Sai before dinner!"
Although Chouji was drooling with greed, he could only say awkwardly under the pressure of Ino: "Uh.that's true!"
Sai had never experienced such a scene before, but he really enjoyed the relaxed and lively atmosphere: "Thank you everyone!"
"The first impression is the most important.It seems I have to think of their nicknames as soon as possible!" Sai cherishes this opportunity very much and wants to become friends with Shikamaru and the others.
"Well, I'm Choji Akimichi from the Akimichi clan.Your name is Sai, right?Please give me your guidance!" Choji's saliva was already flowing like a waterfall.
"Please give me your guidance!" Sai said and looked up and down at Choji carefully.
Seeing this familiar action, Sakura's expression was shocked: "Is he trying to come up with a nickname again?"
Naruto's heart skipped a beat as he saw what Sai was planning.According to his logic, if he were to speak, he would undoubtedly be talking about something from Choji's taboo list!
As expected, Sai's first word when he spoke was "Fat."
"Hmm!" Choji's eyes were instantly filled with murderous intent.This pronunciation would cause him to have a conditioned reflex!
Naruto didn't give him a chance to finish, he covered Sai's mouth andHe whispered in her ear, "Sai, words like fat pig and other fat words are taboos for Choji.Remember this!"
Fortunately, Sai was stopped in time, otherwise, if those two words were said, Shikamaru would definitely turn the table over!
Then no one will eat it!
"What were you trying to say just now?" Choji looked at Sai who hadn't finished speaking and asked in confusion.
"It's nothing, don't think too much about it!" Sakura quickly smiled and changed the subject.
Fortunately, Shikamaru was easy to fool and didn't ask the question again.
"It's so hard to come up with a nickname!" Sai sighed in his heart.
Ino on the side couldn't wait any longer.She suggested that everyone introduce themselves so that they could show themselves well in front of Sai.
"I am Yamanaka Ino, the daughter of the Yamanaka flower shop owner.Thank you for your guidance!" Ino said while constantly adjusting her posture, trying to show her best side to Sai.
Unfortunately, Sai's aesthetic taste seems to be different from that of normal people.At this moment, he just wants to quickly give Ino a nickname to show his friendliness.
Sai thought of Sakura's previous reaction, and thought to himself: "It seems that directly pointing out a girl's characteristics will anger her, so it should be okay if I say it the other way around!"
"Hurry up and say it!Say that word, Sai!" Sakura screamed in her heart.She and Ino had always disliked each other, so at this moment she really wanted to see Ino make a fool of herself!
