Chapter 561: Visiting the Land of Tea [Part II]
"Looks like you've grown more than I thought you'd over the years, Naruto-kun."
In the obvious situation of being well-versed in human affairs, Jiro-cho did not speak out of place to interrupt the conversation between Naruto and Hinata. Then he looked back and forth thoughtfully, and waited until the conversation between the young couple had gradually stopped, and the smile in his eyes became even more prominent, and while locking his curious gaze on Hinata, who had met for the first time, he pretended to be serious and teased Naruto.
"If I didn't have a clumsy eye...... This girl should be your little girlfriend, right? ”
"Hmph...... It's a pity, the answer is wrong, Elder Jiro, Hinata is not my girlfriend~"
"Oh? Did I guess wrong? But you look ......."
"After all, it's more appropriate to say that Hinata is my fiancée than a little girlfriend or something, Elder Jiro!"
In the face of Jiro's teasing, Hinata was so ashamed that he didn't dare to respond loudly, compared to Hinata who turned completely red into a tomato and buried his head in Naruto's arms. Naruto was smiling, not only did he not refute Jiro's conjecture in the slightest, but he also unceremoniously showed his love and exclusivity for Hinata when he responded with a big grin. Immediately, while enjoying the satisfaction brought by the silent anti-[Sa] and "Jiao" actions that he kept rubbing in his arms, while following Jiro's previous words, he continued with a big grin.
"Besides, Elder Jiro, you look very energetic!"
"Isn't it a girlfriend, it's a fiancée...... Hahaha! That's a bold statement for your age! ”
Obviously, he didn't expect in advance that Naruto would have such a bold speech as Jirocho, and when he heard Naruto's words, he was slightly stunned for a moment. Then he laughed heartily, as if he was recalling his youth because of Naruto's actions, and sighed thoughtfully.
"Ah, it's good to be young...... Old, old, from now on, it will be the world of your group of young people~"
"Hey, where are you! Elder Jiro still looks so young, handsome, and masculine, how can he say that he is old? ”
"Hahaha! You little one, you still talk as well as you used to...... By the way, by the way, how is your grandmother doing lately? Or are you borrowing money and gambling everywhere? ”
"Why, I'm just telling the truth...... Grandma's words, because of grandpa's constraints, have long stopped gambling. Now, I travel with my grandfather outside the existence! ”
"Really? Sounds good...... By the way, and ......"
And in that you say a word, I say a word. Naruto and Jiro, who hadn't seen each other for a long time, talked like old friends after a long absence. So much so that everyone who was stunned by this unexpected development came together and had the immediate sense that they were superfluous beings in this room.
"Ahh......hh In the end, isn't it still this kid who is alone and having a good time there......"
In this case, Kakashi, who was originally in charge of representing the team to talk to Jiro, naturally became idle. Then he shook his head with tears and laughter, and secretly muttered and complained.
"If I had known that this would be the case, I decided from the beginning that this kid would be in charge of negotiating with the client, wouldn't it be better......
Of course, complaining is complaining, but Kakashi is not the slightest disgusted by Naruto's sudden "seizing power" of this "transgression" behavior...... It can even be said that because Kakashi, like the three generations of Hokage, is single-minded, hoping that Naruto can follow in the footsteps of his father, the fourth generation Hokage Wave Feng Shui Gate, and become the new Hokage, compared to Naruto's appearance of not caring about anything and not caring about anything at the beginning, it is natural to hope that Naruto's behavior of interfering halfway can become more and more!
"Who knows...... Maybe Naruto didn't remember that he actually knew the client at first. ”
And after hearing Kakashi's muttering words, the little fan, who also felt quite speechless about this unexpected development, couldn't help but spit quietly while holding his arms with his hands and maintaining a serious appearance.
"To be honest, I've always had a delusion after knowing Naruto for so long...... It's as if everyone in this world either knows Naruto or has met Naruto, it's so strange. ”
Of course, the little fan who was complaining silently didn't know it at all......
In a sense, his words did poke at one of the many truths that Naruto had hidden over the years......
"Well, speaking of which...... Before leaving, Grandpa Miyome Hokage said that the details of this mission only need to be asked face-to-face, and you will be able to know ......"
At the same time, Naruto, who had almost finished greeting him, also naturally guided the direction of the topic to the right track. Immediately, despite taking advantage of the "cheating" of the traverser, he more or less guessed the grim situation hidden behind this entrusted task. But he still pretended to know nothing, and asked Jiro Chang, who was the client, face to face, so that he could compare with each other, and under the influence of the butterfly effect, the plot direction that was gradually out of Naruto's cognitive scope was there, and whether there was any deviation.
"So, what does Elder Jiro want us to do when he specially commissioned Konoha Village?"
"Hmm...... yes, almost, it's time to explain it to you......"
Hearing Naruto's words and knowing that it was time to get down to business, Jirobo nodded slightly, gradually reining in the smile on his face. Then he was silent for a moment, and then he spoke up again, and asked rhetorically word by word.
"So, before I do that, there's a question I'd like to know about first...... Do you know anything about the worship ceremony of the Boom Taisha Shrine? ”
"Boom...... Rumble...... What is the company? ”
"Sure enough...... Well, please sit down and let me talk slowly...... Here's how it happened......"
Under the topic that Naruto deliberately pretended to be stupid and stunned, it was only the people who visited the country of tea for the first time that they were able to get a general understanding of the customs in the country of tea, which was the cause of this commission, under the narration of Jirobo......
"Looks like you've grown more than I thought you'd over the years, Naruto-kun."
In the obvious situation of being well-versed in human affairs, Jiro-cho did not speak out of place to interrupt the conversation between Naruto and Hinata.
