"You guys actually know how to show off."
Shikamaru curled his lips, did not continue to ask, and returned his attention to the menu in his hand.
"Naruto!"
At this time, Ino walked over quickly and hugged Naruto's arm, with a hint of complaint and coquettishness in his voice:
"My dad dragged me away before I could thank you properly!"
"Dad, it's true. You saved me, but he dragged me home without even letting me say thank you."
"Ino, you were targeted by Danzo because of me. Speaking of which, I should be sorry."
Naruto has a gentle tone.
Boruto sat across the table, holding chopsticks in his hands, his eyes widened.
Ino Aunt?
Inojin's mother is so close to her father?
In his memory, Aunt Ino always greeted his father openly every time she saw him, and occasionally made a few jokes. There had never been such physical contact.
He quickly turned to look at Sasuke next to him, trying to get a reasonable explanation from Mr. Sasuke.
However, Sasuke just shook his head slightly and signaled Boruto with his eyes not to ask any more questions.
Seeing this, Boruto had no choice but to swallow the question that came to his lips.
Naruto and Ino chatted for a few words, and then Ino let go of Naruto's arm with satisfaction, and was led by Naruto to sit next to him.
At this time, Ya came over with Shino and Hinata. Ya yelled, "Naruto, didn't we just get together a while ago?"
"Why are we having dinner together so soon?"
"Do you have something else to announce?"
"Wow..."
Akamaru lay on his teeth and barked.
Shino followed behind and pushed up his sunglasses. "Naruto There must be a special reason for this dinner party!"
Hinata followed the two of them, his white eyes lit up when he saw Naruto, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved in a very small arc.
"If you have nothing to do, can't we have dinner together?"
"I'll treat you to this meal, so everyone can eat freely."
"That's what you said!"
Hearing this, Ya immediately pulled up a chair and sat down.
Naruto nodded to Shino as a greeting, and then walked to Hinata.
"Hinata, come, let me introduce you to someone."
Naruto took Hinata's hand, led her around half the table, walked to Boruto and sat down next to her.
"Know someone?"
Hinata was gently held by Naruto's hand and walked inside, and his heartbeat began to accelerate uncontrollably.
"Old... Mom?"
Boruto saw a shy red color appear on Hinata's young face, and he sat upright as a reflex.
This is his mother.
Although he was incredibly young, he could see this face on the dining table at home every day and would never mistake it.
It's just the way mom looks at dad.
Her voice was soft and soft, and her blushing level was completely different from the serious mother he knew.
Boruto had the impression that when my mother got angry, even my father would bow his head and admit his mistake. Now this shy girl's appearance has completely shocked his world view.
The picture in his mind didn't add up at all.
Boruto secretly glanced at Naruto, who was picking up a piece of barbecue with chopsticks and putting it into Hinata's bowl.
"Hello."
Hinata was pulled by Naruto to sit down. He looked up and saw Boruto next to him.
This blond boy gave her a very familiar feeling, as if she had seen him before somewhere.
Or rather, it was like someone very close to her.
But Hinata carefully recalled all the relatives of the Hyuga Clan and all the ninjas of the same class as Konoha, but could not find this face.
"Hello."
Boruto said hello bravely.
Hinata thought Boruto was just introverted and couldn't let go, so she didn't pay much attention to him. She nodded lightly to him, then lowered her head and ate the barbecue Naruto gave her.
At this time, the energetic Rock Lee walked in, followed by the expressionless Neji and Tenten holding a bag of ninja tools.
Tenten waved to Naruto as soon as he entered the door. "Naruto, how did you use the last batch of Kunai?"
"It's very useful. I'll see you next time."
Naruto greeted the three of them and arranged for them to sit down by the window.
Boruto looked at the circle of familiar faces taking their seats one by one, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
Shikadai's father, Chocho's father, Inojin's mother, Metal Lee's father, Shino teacher, Uncle Ya, Tenten aunt.
Finally, Boruto's eyes fell on Neji, and the smile on his lips disappeared.
His uncle.
In the future Konoha, the name Neji will only appear on Memorial Stone.
He has never seen a living Neji. He only heard from his mother that in Fourth Shinobi World War, his uncle blocked the attack of Ten-Tails in order to protect her and his father.
If Neji felt something, he turned his head and looked at Boruto who was staring at him in a daze.
He frowned slightly, with a hint of unnoticeable doubt in his tone.
"We know each other?"
Boruto came to his senses and waved his hand quickly. "I don't know, I don't know, I just think..."
"This eldest brother looks a bit like a person I've seen."
Neji did not ask any more questions, but simply said, "Then you probably got the wrong person!"
At this moment, the store door was pushed open again, and Sakura and Karin walked in one after another.
"Sorry, sorry, we're late!"
Sakura looked around for an empty seat while taking off his coat. His eyes scanned around the store and then landed on the empty seat next to Sasuke.
Naruto smiled at Sakura and pointed to the empty seat next to Sasuke: "Sakura, that seat is reserved for you."
Sakura was a little surprised, but he didn't think much about it and went straight to sit next to Sasuke.
"Is today a special day?"
She put her coat on the back of the chair and looked up at Sasuke sitting next to her.
Sasuke The moment Sakura sat down, his whole body froze.
He now regrets agreeing to come to this meal.
Karin didn't notice the undercurrent at Sasuke at all. She ran directly to Naruto and sat down.
Boruto Look at my mother on the left of my father. On the right is Aunt Karin, who is sitting there, and next to me is Aunt Ino who talks to my father from time to time.
He gave his mother a thumbs up in his heart.
No wonder my mother is so majestic at home and can stand out from so many competitors. How can she be an ordinary person?
"Ahem!"
Naruto saw everyone had come, cleared his throat and stood up. "I called everyone here today mainly because I met two new friends, and I thought I would take this opportunity to let everyone get to know each other."
"But these two friends are leaving Konoha soon due to some matters, so they invite everyone to have a meal together before they leave."
Everyone nodded.
Sasuke kept his head down the whole time, covering most of his face behind with a teacup.
Boruto straightened his back in his seat, trying to look natural.
Naruto first pointed to Boruto who was sitting not far from him.
"This guy who looks very similar to me is called Boruto."
Boruto stood up quickly, hung his hands neatly by his side, and bowed slightly to everyone present.
"My name is Boruto, please take care of me!"
Boruto's voice was a little nervous, and his eyes glanced at his mother and uncle inadvertently!
Both of them looked at him with different expressions.
My mother smiled gently, while my uncle's cold eyes were a little thoughtful.
When everyone saw Boruto standing up, they all started talking in low voices.
Ya poked Shino with his elbow. "This guy and Naruto are exactly the same."
Everyone nodded.
When everyone's discussion subsided a little, Naruto moved his hand to Sasuke, with a meaningful smile on his lips.
"This uncle's name is Xu Zuo."
"Poof!"
