Taki Tōru looked very happy when he saw another merit point added to his ninja registration card. After all, only by accumulating enough merit can he upgrade Chunin.
Uchiha Chen smiled and said nothing. A person is happy because he is easily satisfied. Taki Tōru will of course be happy when he sees that his four-digit number is one thousand more. But if she could see the six zeros behind the series of numbers Uchiha Chen, she probably wouldn't even be able to cry.
This is the gap between the rich and the poor, ah no, the extreme poverty.
"Let's find a place to eat next? This is the first time for everyone to be members of the same team." Taki Yū thought for a while and then suggested.
"Let's go together." Taki Tōru pretended to be vicious and nodded, "Since we can't match the captain in combat, at least... at least we must beat the captain at the dinner table!" "
Himeji nodded without objection.
While Base provides a relatively safe place to live, there are also some places for entertainment. Just as Yong suggested, in Base of Konoha, there are various delicious barbecue restaurants and ramen. Although it is a bit crude, it is still a place that can relieve stress. Of course, the best places to relieve stress are so-called pedicure shops and large clubs, but Base definitely does not have such things, otherwise Jiraiya would not be able to stay as a nanny in Land of Rain even if he were killed.
"Let me tell you, Base's barbecue restaurant is a little shabby, but the workmanship is really impeccable."
Because several of Taki Tōru and the others have fought on this battlefield, they know it well. The friendship established after this battle has quietly harmonized the relationship between several people, so Taki Yū put his arm around Uchiha Chen's shoulders familiarly and introduced him to the delicious food here.
"As the captain, all the expenses for this time are on my head." Uchiha Chen smiled, there is nothing wrong with eating a little. Originally, my plan was to find a secluded place to continue practicing Mutual Exploding Tag in depth, but now it seems that I can only slow down a little.
Not long after, a few of them arrived at a barbecue stall. Because I came earlier, there are no ninjas here yet.
Taki Tōru greeted the store owner very familiarly, "Boss, follow the old rules and order some barbecue."
In addition to the free canteens on the battlefield, barbecue restaurants like this also require merit in exchange. Every once in a while, these bosses will submit bills to Konoha, and the merit withheld from the ninjas will be converted into silver and returned to them. It can also be regarded as a kind of war fortune, even the kind that requires money rather than life.
"Speaking of which, Captain, since you are so powerful, why don't we increase the difficulty of the mission next time?" Taki Tōru carefully turned over the barbecue and then asked this sentence cautiously.
Before Uchiha Chen could say anything, the elder brother Taki Yū had already put down the chopsticks in his hands and glared at his troublesome sister.
"We are already holding back on today's mission. If there is no captain, even if we can come back, we will probably be seriously injured. What are you thinking in your head? Do you think your crappy Medical Ninjutsu can save Shinobi World?" "
"... But brother, if the mission level increases, we can earn enough money quickly..." Taki Tōru, who was startled by his brother's glare, retorted in a low voice.
"Before thinking about yourself, you must first think about your companions." Taki Yū looked a little serious. "You have forgotten the previous captain..."
After he finished saying this, the three of them, including Himeji, were a little silent.
Uchiha Chen understood somewhat. Teams like Himeji have been established for several years. Before he came, there was a captain Jonin. Now that he is here, it means that the captain is... dead.
After a long silence, Taki Tōru apologized to Uchiha Chen.
"Sorry, Captain."
"It's okay, it's okay." He glanced at Toru, who was a little aggrieved, and then at Himeji, who was pouting. This team seems to have a messy story, perhaps very similar to the original Yura.
As the meal progressed, this unpleasantness slowly dissipated, and ninjas continued to enter the barbecue restaurant. After hearing a very familiar voice, Uchiha Chen raised his head.
"Hey, isn't this Shikaku?"
"Chen, long time no see."
Shikaku was wearing pigtails, and his originally unmotivated face became excited when he saw Uchiha Chen. Uchiha Chen looked at him slightly, and he was actually wearing a Chunin vest.
"When we saw you off last time, weren't you still Genin?"
"Yeah yeah. "Shikaku is a little helpless." I am also very surprised. You said that my merit points are not enough and my strength is average, but Lord Hokage suddenly came to me and said that after the village's research and decision, I was promoted to Chunin. What can I do, and what happened happened right after you left, and then I became Chunin, so I had no choice but to give up my rotation and follow another unit here."
"Oh, then you are now the second one to become Chunin in this issue. Congratulations. "Uchiha Chen still recognizes Shikaku's strength, mainly because his iq of 180 is really scary.
"I don't want any sincere congratulations. Why don't you treat our team to this meal?"
"Don't, I've been living in poverty lately." Uchiha Chen waved his hand quickly.
"That time I treated hundreds of you to dinner and already spent all my savings."
"I feel a little sorry for what you said." Shikaku scratched his braid. "At that time Choza was eating and taking, and he was full. I told him several times, but he just didn't listen."
"So, is this the reason why you gave him your Scroll?" "
"Ahem. "Shikaku coughed to hide his embarrassment, so he quickly changed the topic.
"These are the members of your new team. It's great to have another girl in the team."
Shikaku showed a malicious smile and pushed Uchiha Chen's shoulder.
"Yeah, otherwise I'll give it to you, if you want it."
"Haha, I can't make the decision on this. I have to ask our captain for instructions."
"Forget it, it's troublesome enough to carry you alone, don't add any more burden to me." At this time, a Jonin with the same hair as Shikaku walked in. The surprise is not Kato Dan.
"Let me introduce you, this is the captain of my current team."
"I am Nara Shikatsuchi, and I also belong to the Nara Clan."
"Hello, I am Uchiha Chen."
He said hello to Lutu, then pulled Shikaku and walked aside.
"Shikaku, isn't your captain Jonin Kato Dan?"
"Yes. But this time I am the only one in our team, so I specially asked the ninjas from our clan to give me a special training."
Uchiha Chen raised his eyebrows and said, "Then what's the real reason?"
Shikaku looked around, then lowered his voice and said, "The person who gave Nawaki advice to deal with Teacher Kato Dan was actually me. So I am hiding from the teacher now."
