Eating a Whole Book
"Why does Kakashi look so furtive?"
Might Guy, who had just come out of the hospital for treatment, happened to see Kakashi and Naruto.
"Teacher Kai, wait for me."
Rock Lee rushed over from behind. In the blink of an eye, his teacher had vanished. He had never seen Jonin so afraid of injections.
"Rock Lee, your speed is too slow. This kind of training is not enough."
Kai began to lecture Rock Lee with righteous indignation, completely ignoring his own fear of injections and his tendency to run away too quickly.
"Please train me hard, Master Kai. I want to become a ninja like you."
Rock Lee seemed to have been injected with adrenaline, radiating a sharp and ambitious aura.
"Excellent, the passion is burning! This time we're doing training tracking. Did you spot Kakashi and Naruto?"
Might Guy pointed to Kaka, who was almost out of sight, and said to Naruto.
Rock Lee nodded to indicate that he had seen it.
"Our task this time is to track the two of them without letting them find out. Can we do that?"
"Able."
"Then let's set off!"
Might Guy waved his hand and immediately began to act. The two quietly followed Kakashi and Naruto. Kakashi and Naruto had no idea that they were being followed. They strained their ears, trying desperately to hear what Karot and the others were talking about.
"Lin..."
Obito spotted the woman he'd been longing for in the crowd at a glance. Just as he was about to greet her, a head of white hair caught his eye, followed by a figure in orange-red martial arts attire. Looking up, Obito saw Karot's face. Obito instantly wondered if he'd forgotten to check the Karot before leaving home. He never gained the upper hand against Karot. He couldn't win an argument, and even when he did, he'd still face Karot's physical overwhelming power. If there were a ranking, who in Konoha Obito feared most? Karot would undoubtedly be at the top, unshakeable.
"Is Karot trying to steal Lin from me?"
Obito was startled by his own thought. He realized how vastly different he was from Karot.
Even with his awakened Mangekyo Sharingan, he was still no match for Karot in terms of strength.
Karot's status is higher than mine; Karot is the strongest member of the Hatake Clan and the next Clan Head. And you're not just pursuing one, you're pursuing three! Karot, you've gone too far!
At this moment, Obito had cursed Karot in his mind over and over again. As the saying goes, a man in love loses his IQ.
Immediately afterward, Obito saw his nemesis Kakashi secretly following behind Karot. Just as Kakashi passed by, Might Guy also quietly followed.
"What's going on here?"
The more Obito thought about it, the less he understood; his entire mental system seemed to be overheating.
"Why don't I go and give it a try?"
Obito was a man of action, and he immediately followed.
"Clan Head, please stop drinking. Drinking too much is bad for your health!"
The Hatake Clan members are urging their Clan Head to drink less alcohol.
"Tell me, what's going on between Karot and Kakashi? They won't even get married."
Speaking of his two sons, Hatake Sakumo was happy, but recently, as the Clan Head, he was also lectured by the clan elders. They said he hadn't helped his two sons find wives, allowing Karot and Kakashi, these two excellent descendants, to have offspring. Do you think Hatake Sakumo didn't want that? He'd thought about it until his hair turned white.
"Clan Head, look!"
The members of the Hatake Clan pointed in the direction of Karot and saw Karot chatting and laughing with three girls.
Hatake Sakumo looked out the way his clansman pointed. He saw Karot chatting and laughing with three beautiful women.
"Lord Karot is either clueless or, once he does, it's a game-winning move!"
The tribesmen said enviously.
"Ha ha."
Hatake Sakumo, who had been listless just moments before, looked at his eldest son with a piercing gaze. Now, he finally had someone to report to the clan elders.
"This place, shall we?"
Karot loves to eat meat, and among the people of Konoha, the best meat cook is undoubtedly the barbecue restaurant frequented by the Akimichi Clan.
Welcome!
The four entered the barbecue restaurant amidst cheers and applause.
The waiter had just handed the menu to the four of them when Karot took it, glanced at it, and spoke.
"Let's start with one!"
"Sir, what did you say?"
The waiter was taken aback by Karot's way of taking orders. It was the first time he had ever seen someone order by the "book" (a unit of weight, approximately 60 grams).
The three female companions were already used to it. Clearly, this wasn't the first time Karot had ordered like this.
"Guest, there will be a fine if you waste food."
The waiter tried one last time, but Karot wouldn't change his mind.
"Serve the food!"
The customer had already made their decision, and the waiter knew he had done his best.
"Chef, here's one more book."
The waiter came to the kitchen and told them the interesting things he knew.
"That one?"
For some reason, the chef's heart skipped a beat. Unpleasant memories from the past flooded back.
"It was ordered by a white-haired man wearing an orange shirt."
"Bang!"
The chef's tools slipped from his grasp and fell to the ground. It was a conditioned reflex, a shadow cast upon him by a man. A single meal had left his hands trembling with exhaustion.
"Guys, the challenge is here. That man is back. Are you scared?"
"I'm not afraid."
"Alright, let's get moving and fill his stomach!"
The kitchen immediately erupted into a flurry of activity.
"What's wrong with that hand? It's like it's been injected with chicken blood!"
The waiter looked shocked and confused. It was just one book he ordered; the man's build seemed average, and whether he could even finish it was uncertain.
"It's normal that you're new here and don't know him. He once set a record in our store."
"What record?"
The young waiter looked on with a longing for gossip.
"He ate all our ingredients for the whole day. The kitchen staff worked at full speed to cook for him. By the end, their hands were shaking."
"That's impossible! How could someone so thin eat so much?"
In the waiter's mind, only someone like the owner could be considered a big eater. But no one could possibly finish all the ingredients in a barbecue restaurant for a whole day. The waiter looked on with disbelief.
The new waiter didn't believe it, and the veteran waiter just smiled. After all, seeing is believing in these things. Anyway, he'd have plenty of plates to clear later.
"Kakashi-sensei and the others went into the barbecue restaurant. Shall we go in too?"
Naruto's stomach growled involuntarily as he smelled the delicious aroma of meat from the shop.
Kakashi was initially reluctant to agree to Naruto, but Naruto's stomach growled, forcing Kakashi to take Naruto into a restaurant to eat. After all, Naruto had accompanied him on his mission to follow Karot that day. Even an emperor wouldn't let his soldiers go hungry, let alone Naruto, who was his teacher's son. He had a mother with a fiery temper. If she knew Kakashi was letting his son go hungry, she'd tear Kakashi apart.
"Let's go inside!"
