Son of the Fourth Hokage of Konoha

There are mountains in the distance, a lake nearby, and grass at the feet. There are several picnic mats spread out in twos and threes on the grass, and barbecue grills are set up.

Kurama Yakumo set up an easel, held a paintbrush, and sketched the scene in front of her with a smile.

In the middle of the picture are Jiraiya, Tsunade, Minato and Fugaku.

Minato and Fugaku clinked glasses with a smile, Tsunade's face turned red and she had already taken out the playing cards, Jiraiya's eyes were wandering, his expression was rippling, he tried to straighten his back, Shizune knelt down behind Tsunade like a little maid, and reached out to turn the pages.

BBQ.

Not far away, Kushina and Mikoto were gathered together, with aunty smiles on their faces, looking at Izumi who was handing over the grilled meat with a smile while Shisui and Itachi were chatting.

Kakashi and Akai looked at each other affectionately - they were playing a game of whoever blinks first loses. Kakashi's expression was dull, while Akai's eyes were widened, with a few drops of sweat on his forehead.

Since this game will bring Grandma and his team's record to 50 wins and 50 losses, Akai is very serious. Four small green-clad melons cheer for Akai with excitement on their faces.

Kimimaro, who has been a teammate for a long time, seems to have found a common language with Neji every day, helplessly watching several rare beasts having fun.

Asuma and Kurenai Yuhi had a twitchy look on their faces, pretending to be watching the match between Kakashi and Akai, but in fact their hands were almost tentatively held together.

Sakura and Ino hugged Sasuke's arms, glaring at each other, as if there was electricity sizzling between their eyes.

The two cute creatures Akamaru and Indopo face each other with their heads facing each other, playing a game of bull-butting. Kiba and Naruto sit on both sides and cheer for the two cuties.

Hinata smiled lightly, held Naruto's arm with one hand, and quietly picked up a skewer of barbecue with the other.

Choji ate as much as ever, while Shikamaru lay quietly on the grass next to him and looked at the clouds.

Yakumo counted the number of people and felt that someone was missing. After thinking about it, he took up the pen and added himself sitting behind the easel, as well as Shiro and Karin watching his painting behind him.

Only then did Yakumo look at his painting with satisfaction, put away his tools, and joined the playful team.

Shino received the message from the bug on his finger and sighed, I'm obviously sitting next to Shikamaru, why don't you draw me...

——

The reason for this gathering started half a month ago. More than half a month has passed since Lei Ya's mission ended.

The surge in workload caused by the turmoil in the Chunin Exams finally calmed down and everything returned to an orderly state.

After Minato finished dealing with the backlog of matters at hand, he remembered that he had promised Naruto before the Chunin Exam that he would take him out camping.

Minato, who was determined to be a good father, believed that he should keep his word, so he gave himself a rare holiday and invited Tsunade and Jiraiya, who had also been busy for a long time, to participate.

After Minato announced the incident at home, Kaoru asked if he could bring his friends, and of course Minato readily agreed.

So Shiro and Karin invited Yuhihi Kurenai and Kurama Yakumo, Kimimaro invited Ganbuntui, and Kushina brought three of her students.

When Naruto called Sasuke, Sasuke was sweeping the floor with Itachi at the door.

Sasuke said that his brother finally had a vacation and he wanted to stay at home with him.

Then Itachi very understandingly said that he could accompany Sasuke, and just as Shisui came to see Itachi, Naruto invited him by the way.

After Mikoto learned about it, she felt that she had not had a good chat with Kushina for a long time, so she invited Fugaku to participate, and even called her future daughter-in-law Izumi.

When Kakashi saw that two of his students had arrived, he might as well call the other one, and then met Akai who was exercising on the road.

Akai thought that for such a youthful gathering, he must bring his lovely disciples along with him.

After Asuma heard about Kurenai's schedule, she "coincidentally" took the students to train nearby that day...

So a small family gathering turned into a large outing now.

If enemies from other villages took the opportunity to send assassins and kill all these people, Konoha would probably be unable to breathe for decades.

The premise is that you can beat it...

"Ya, I bet a spoonful of mustard that Dolphin will win this game."

"Are you kidding? If I add another spoonful of hot sauce, Akamaru will definitely win!"

After Yaga finished the bet, he jumped up, clenched his fists and shouted: "Come on Akamaru, if you win, I will give you the barbecue!"

"Wow!" Akamaru was full of fighting spirit.

Naruto was not so excited and said softly: "Dodo, I'm optimistic about you~"

"Porphy!" Doudou shuddered, always feeling that losing equals maturity, and then Naruto's mustard and hot sauce would finally be applied to it, and Doudou's eyes became firm.

Three minutes later, Akamaru was pushed to the ground by the desperate torpor. Gawan surrendered and swallowed the mustard and hot sauce. Now he is lying on the ground with his tongue hanging out and doubting life.

Naruto put the small flag symbolizing victory on Dodo's back: "Well done Dodo, this is called the Piglet Flag!"

"Porphy!" Doudou ran back to Shizune with the flag on his back, and was lucky to survive again today.

Naruto touched Akamaru's dog head and comforted: "It's okay Akamaru, I'll treat you to barbecue."

Naruto stretched out his hand: "Huh? Where's the meat?"

Teeth finally regained his composure, looked at the empty plate and grill, and shouted: "Hey, Choji, you're eating too fast!"

Dingci swallowed the food in his mouth with difficulty and said, "Because it's really delicious. Since the celebration of the establishment of Class 10, Asuma hasn't treated us to barbecue for a long time."

But Choji was also confused, did I really eat that much just now?

Naruto, who roughly guessed the truth, stood up and said, "Okay, I don't blame Choji, I'll go get some more."

"Naruto-kun, I'll go with you." Hinata blushed and went to help Naruto.

Shino pushed up his sunglasses. He also discovered the truth, but he was kind enough not to tell it.

When Naruto came back with the ingredients, he added a few pieces of charcoal and shouted: "Sasuke, come here and light a fire!"

Sasuke finally broke away from Sakura and Ino, puffed up his cheeks and breathed fire.

Sakura and Ino stared at each other for a while, then followed over, looking enviously at Naruto and Hinata feeding each other.

Then Sakura had an idea: "Inoboar, do you dare to try your cooking skills?"

Ino was not afraid: "Who is afraid of whom? You have a wide forehead!"

"Sasuke, let's be the referee!"*2

"Boring." Sasuke was of course not interested.

"I can be the referee!" Choji volunteered.

So the two little girls looked at each other, nodded, and started their respective performances.

In the end, there was no winner in this competition, because according to Choji, who later regained consciousness, he met someone who could make him fear things for the first time. This was simply a shame for the Akimichi clan.

In the evening, everyone set up a tent here and stayed overnight, finally fulfilling Naruto's little wish for camping. The next day, Minato came to fulfill Naruto's other wish.
