It was not until noon that Mingren finally arrived at the meeting place.
But he found that he was still early, as it was only 8 o'clock.
If he remembered correctly, Kakashi wouldn't arrive until around 11 o'clock.
"Ah, ah, you two are here so early!"
When Naruto arrived, he saw Sakura and Sasuke both sitting listlessly on the grass.
Sasuke's eyes were blank, his thoughts drifting to who knows where, while Sakura was sitting not far away from him, drowsy.
"Ah, Naruto, you are finally here. I've been so bored waiting!" Sakura was immediately cheered up when she saw Naruto and threw herself into his arms.
"Tsk, didn't we agree to meet at 5 o'clock?" Sasuke came back to his senses and complained with an unhappy look on his face.
Perhaps it was because Naruto gave him the idea of revitalizing the Uchiha clan yesterday, and now Sasuke is quite respectful to Naruto.
Well, considering his personality, being able to have a normal conversation is a courtesy.
Naruto shrugged and took out two bento boxes, handing one to each of them.
"I know you must have missed breakfast, so eat something first."
Facing the two's suspicious looks, Naruto said, "I forgot to tell you, Kakashi is very unreliable. Unless it's urgent, it's basically impossible to get him to be on time. He said to gather at 5 o'clock, so if you can arrive at 8 o'clock, you'll be lucky."
"Well, this is what my sister Xiyan said."
"Why didn't you say it earlier!" Sakura and Sasuke rarely accused Naruto in unison.
"Didn't I say I forgot?" Naruto laughed, without any guilt at all.
"Wow, Naruto-kun, you don't love me anymore." Sakura turned into a crying monster and acted coquettishly.
Sasuke frowned and said, "Even so, the rule of not eating breakfast can't be a lie, right? No matter how unreliable this Jonin is, since he has set the rules, we must abide by them. Only then can we be considered qualified ninjas."
In the world of ninja, those who don't follow the rules are called trash.
Sakura stopped crying. Of course she believed Naruto, but what Sasuke said made sense.
Maybe this is a test from Kakashi?
"That's right!" Naruto agreed with Sasuke, then spread his hands and said, "But a ninja must act according to circumstances, learn to adapt to circumstances, and also understand the essence of things."
"Gathering at 5 o'clock and skipping breakfast is a very unreasonable rule. If the assessment has already begun within the stipulated time, then what is the purpose of this rule?"
Naruto's words made both teammates stunned.
Yes, what is the purpose of this regulation? To test their ability to endure hardship and hunger?
Sasuke thought about it, and then said nothing. He opened the lunch box Naruto gave him and started eating.
"Sasuke you..." Sakura was confused and looked at Naruto again.
Naruto just smiled and didn't explain.
Sakura pouted. As the smartest person, her two teammates understood it, but she didn't.
Sakura also opened her lunch box, took out the breakfast inside and started to bite into it.
"Huh? It's so delicious!" Sakura immediately gobbled it up.
"Hehe, of course, I made this myself." Naruto looked proud.
I took a nap in my arms with Xiyan in the morning, but I only slept for an extra hour before being forced to wake up by Xiyan, so I failed to reach the two-hour goal.
But I am already satisfied to be able to sleep with Xiyan as I wished.
Naruto, in a good mood, immediately took over the task of making breakfast and showed off his skills to Xiyan.
Although he was not a great chef before traveling through time, he could still cook home-cooked dishes and had also studied some simple recipes.
A loving breakfast directly conquered Xiyan's stomach, so from now on he will be responsible for three meals a day at home. She was so sad.
Thinking that he had not reminded Sakura and Sasuke about Kakashi's habit of being late, he specially made two breakfasts and brought them to them before leaving.
This is the breakfast that only flower growers can eat: potato omelet, cross-bridge rice noodles, and a cup of hot soy milk.
When they heard that it was Naruto who did it himself, Sakura and Sasuke were quite surprised. Is this still the loser in their memory who only knew how to play pranks?
Although Naruto has changed a lot, it has only been recently.
It's hard to believe that he seems to know everything all of a sudden.
Although I thought so, my body was still honest and I finished my breakfast quickly.
Looking at them, it seems like they can't wait to eat the entire lunch box.
"Huh! It turns out that the feeling of having a full meal is so blissful!" Sakura patted her belly, half-closed her eyes and looked very contented.
"Thank you!" Sasuke said thank you awkwardly, and then hesitantly said, "I'll wash the lunch box and return it to you."
"Huh?" Sakura was surprised by Sasuke's reaction.
At this time, she also realized that she seemed not as thoughtful as Sasuke.
Although she had a very close relationship with Naruto, after eating such a delicious breakfast, not only did he not say a word of thanks, but he didn't even feel a bit of gratitude in his heart.
She was even thinking in her mind that since Naruto was such a good cook, she should find a better excuse so that she could eat with him more often.
At this moment, she couldn't help but feel guilty for her bad mentality, and secretly decided in her heart that she must change it in the future so that she could win Naruto's favor more.
"What are you talking about!" Sakura snatched the lunch box from Sasuke's hand and said with a smile: "This kind of thing must be done by girls. We are all in the same team. I may need your protection when I carry out missions in the future."
Sasuke was stunned for a moment, snorted, but the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
Are we all from the same team? This family-like feeling seems pretty good!
Naruto was also a little surprised by Sakura's reaction.
He didn't know that Sakura's mental journey had undergone a transformation in that instant.
Naruto just felt that this Sakura was different from the original, but he thought it was probably because of the butterfly effect he brought about, so he didn't think about it too deeply.
"So, what's the problem with gathering at 5 o'clock and not eating breakfast?" Sakura finally couldn't help but ask this question.
Naruto and Sasuke looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
Seeing that Sasuke had no interest in explaining, Naruto said to Sakura, "As long as we arrive at the meeting place before Kakashi shows up, and he doesn't find out that we've already had breakfast, that rule will be meaningless, right?"
Xiaoying's eyes widened and she mumbled, "How can this be possible?"
Naruto laughed and said, "Didn't I just say that a ninja must adapt to the situation and learn to be flexible! And the essence of the matter is that Kakashi is basically playing tricks on us, so we must find a way to play tricks on him too!"
