In fact, Hanfu had already arrived before Ito Ni and Shisui, but when he saw the looks on Anko and Inuzuka Sa's faces, he decided to steer clear of trouble. So he went off on his own to explore nature.
It took Hanfu a few minutes to find the outlet of Konoha's sewer. He followed the river downstream, keeping his eyes fixed on the water. But after more than ten minutes, all he saw were waves tumbling over one another. There wasn't a single crayfish in sight.
Besides, the river was ten meters wide and flowing fast. Searching by himself was just too inefficient.
Looks like I'll have to get Iruka and the others to help.
Hanfu turned and ran upstream.
When he spotted Anko and the others, he was shocked to find that they had already started eating!
"Hey, hey, isn't this a bit much?"
Hanfu couldn't help laughing.
"Hmph. I thought you felt guilty and weren't coming."
Anko gave two haughty snorts when she saw Hanfu. The bit of anger she'd felt earlier had quickly dissipated in the face of all the delicious food.
"Hanfu, hurry up! There won't be anything left if you're any later," Iruka said with a smile.
Ito Ni was sitting beside Shisui. When he saw Hanfu coming over, he quickly scooted his butt closer to Shisui, determined not to give up his seat.
Hanfu couldn't help laughing at Ito Ni, then sat down beside Iruka.
"Hanfu, where'd you go? You took forever," Kotetsu Hagane muttered around a mouthful of sushi.
"Downstream." Hanfu grabbed a skewer of dango and cautiously took a bite. It wasn't insanely spicy, so he ate another one as he replied, "I wanted to look for an aquatic creature!"
"So that's why you changed the picnic spot to here!"
Anko
