Chapter 111 Ready!

Konoha.

At the edge of the village, by the creek.

At this moment, Naruto was holding the wooden stick high and aiming at the fat fish under the water.

Whoosh!

The sharpened wooden stick instantly broke through the water and penetrated the fat fish.

Seeing the hit, Naruto immediately showed a look of joy, now he could have a good meal.

He smiled, wiped his nose with his hand, and held his breath for a long time, which made his nose itchy.

But the harvest was worth it, a big fat fish fell into his hands.

Lifting the fish, it headed towards the gravel bank and stuck it aside.

"Yo Xi, what are you going to eat this time?"

Holding his arms and wiping his chin with one hand, Naruto stared at the fat fish on the stick and pondered for a long time. After being entangled, he finally nodded.

Pointing at the fat fish with his finger, he shouted: "It's decided, it's grilled fish!"

After shouting, he couldn't help laughing: "It seems that I can only grill fish, but I don't have any other seasonings, haha!"

I went to the forest to collect some dead wood and branches, threw them into the fire pit I made, and started to light a fire.

Humming a tuneless tune in his mouth, Naruto fiddled with the firewood and blew on the fire, and soon a strong flame burst out.

At this time, Naruto knocked some on his head and muttered: "I forgot to take care of the fish. How stupid."

Carrying the fish, he came to the stream and disemboweled it. He performed the operation skillfully, and those who didn't know thought that the child had grown up by the sea.

Finally, after working for a long time, Naruto sat by the fire, grilled the fish, and carefully sprinkled the salt in his pocket.

Every time, the browned fish skin and the fragrant fish meat fragrance filled the air.

Naruto, who was rubbing his hands, couldn't wait to taste the fish meat when he reached out his hand.

An old hand snatched away the grilled fish before him, took a bite, and showed an expression of enjoyment.

"Ah! My grilled fish."

When Naruto saw his grilled fish being taken away, he pointed angrily at the Sandaime and shouted.

"Smelly old man, you stole my grilled fish again!"

The third generation sucked in the air, ate the hot grilled fish, and praised in his mouth: "It's been a long time since I've eaten Naruto's grilled fish, and his craftsmanship is getting better and better!"

Naruto, who was holding his arms in his arms, and his pursed lips suddenly perked up when he heard Sandaime's praise, and his pursed lips softened a bit.

I couldn't help but asked happily: "Really?"

The third generation nodded and continued to praise: "That's right, Naruto's skills are a bit better, it's very delicious."

Naruto then smiled happily and said hello: "Grandpa Third Generation, why are you free to come see me today?"

Gugu~

There was a rumble in his stomach, which made Naruto touch the back of his head in embarrassment.

He quickly shouted: "Grandpa Sandai, wait a minute, I'll catch some more fish to grill!"

As he spoke, he picked up the stick in a hurry and ran towards the stream, working hard like a man holding a melon.

The third generation sat aside, watching Naruto's hard work, still as lively as ever, showing a somewhat pleased smile.

After a while, Naruto seemed to be lucky enough to catch another one, but feeling that it was not enough, he waited for a while and caught another one.

After cleaning it skillfully, he grilled the fish with a bright smile on his face regardless of the wetness of his trousers and clothes.

At this time, the third generation also said that the grilled fish was almost eaten, and asked: "Naruto, how have you been recently?"

When Naruto heard this, he rolled up his sleeves, exposed his arms, tried hard to squeeze out the muscles, and shouted: "Very good,"

"However, the third-generation grandfather hasn't come to see me for a long time. What happened?"

The third generation looked at Naruto. He used to visit him every once in a while, but recently due to various things, he hasn't come to see Naruto for a long time.

He showed a kind smile and explained: "Grandpa has a lot of things to do recently and is very busy. No... Grandpa will come to see you as soon as he is free."

Naruto nodded vigorously, continued to add firewood with one hand, and concentrated on grilling the fish, and touched his belly with one hand, which had already been growling.

Looking at the grilled fish that was not ready yet, he swallowed his saliva and then responded: "Since it is the third generation grandfather who is busy, Naruto can't blame the third generation grandfather."

Sandai smiled happily, nodded, hummed slightly, and then changed his tone and said: "But I heard that Naruto seems to be very naughty recently, and Iruka has complained to me several times."

As soon as these words came out, Naruto immediately rubbed his head, pretending to be stupid, and quickly denied: "No, I'm just practicing, right! It's just practice, I'm not naughty."

What he did was just to get people to pay attention to him. No matter what his attitude was, it was enough to just acknowledge his existence, instead of indifferently treating him as if he didn't exist.

While the two chatted, the grilled fish in Naruto's hand was also cooked.

Naruto endured his hunger, wiped his saliva, raised the grilled fish and handed it to the third generation.

"Grandpa Third Generation, the grilled fish is ready, you can eat it!"

The third generation shook his head: "You can eat it, Naruto. Grandpa has a small appetite. He was already full from the one just now."

Naruto asked suspiciously: "Really?"

Sandai confirmed: "Yes."

Naruto quickly said: "If that's the case, then I'll eat them all!"

The third generation nodded repeatedly: "Well, eat, eat!"

Naruto then hurriedly ate the grilled fish. He didn't care about the burning of the fish and ate it hungrily.

The third generation looked at the sensible Naruto and showed a look of relief. It seemed that Naruto was still Naruto and there was no change. He was as sensible as ever, but it was normal to be a little naughty.

After chatting with Naruto for a while, listening to things about the ninja school, the two of them chatted and laughed, and the third generation felt relieved a lot, but in the end, he left because the matter had not been dealt with yet.

Naruto looked at the departing figure of the third generation, with the smile still on his face, but looking at the sunset and holding the stone at his feet, he still felt a little lonely after all.

Everyone likes sensible children, but they never consider why children are sensible.

Because I am sensible, I will not pay more attention to the child and ignore the loss and hidden sadness in the child's heart.

Naruto is the obvious one, showing his joy outside and swallowing his sorrow alone in the night, savoring it for himself.

…

Hokage Building, inside the Hokage's office.

Danzo had been waiting for a long time. Looking at the returning third generation, he just said in a deep voice: "I'm all ready."

Sandai, who returned to his seat, slowly raised his head after hearing Danzo's words and said, "Are you ready?"

This time he nodded slightly, with a flash of light in his eyes, and then said: "Then let's start tomorrow!"

"Also, I want to pay full attention to the whole process this time. Please make some preparations carefully. I don't want to see something bad happen."

Danzo looked calm and was not surprised: "Then I will wait for your arrival!"

With these words, Danzo left the Hokage building, leaving only the third generation smoking a cigarette in the office.
