Chapter 641 Encounter with Asuma

Naruto spent the whole day at school feeling uneasy. It was not until he saw Jiger appear at the classroom door at the end of the afternoon that he breathed a sigh of relief.

After a while, the bell for the last class rang. Naruto grabbed his schoolbag and rushed out of the classroom and rushed to Jiger.

Jiger couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart. Why did he feel like a parent waiting for his child to finish class?

But he didn't refuse Naruto, and just accompanied Naruto and walked out of the school under the awe-inspiring gazes of the students on the way.

On the way home, Naruto kept telling Jiger what happened at school today and how his classmates treated him. Seeing Naruto's excited blushing face, Jiger couldn't help but smile knowingly. Of course, it couldn't be seen from his face.

Naruto also asked Jiger what he did today. When he heard that Jiger had eaten Ichiraku Ramen, Naruto exclaimed, attracting the attention of pedestrians on the street. When they saw that it was Naruto, they were about to show their usual disgust on their faces, but they were forced by the momentum of Jiger, the shadow beside Naruto, and finally turned their heads and walked away as if they were escaping.

When they got home, Naruto took out two buckets of instant noodles from the refrigerator. Jiger glanced at them and waved his hand. All the noodles were wiped out by darkness. Naruto stared at the empty table with a dull face. After a long while, he uttered,

"Brother Jige, where did you put the instant noodles? That's our dinner..."

Jiger said lightly,

"Idiot, with the value you've shown now, you don't need to eat this kind of food anymore. Come with me."

After saying that, Jiger pushed the door open and walked out, and Naruto hurriedly followed.

"Hey hey hey! Brother Jig! Where are we going!?"

"Eat barbecue."

……

Jiger had visited many places in Konoha today and knew the locations of several barbecue restaurants.

They went to the nearest barbecue restaurant. The boss was stunned when he saw Jiger, who was covered in black. Then Naruto walked in. The boss's face suddenly became almost darker than Shadow Jiger's face. In his opinion, Naruto's appearance would affect his business.

However, just as he was about to open his mouth to yell at Naruto to leave, Jiger spoke up.

"Serve all your most expensive and best ingredients."

Without waiting for the boss's reply, Jiger took Naruto to an empty seat and sat down. Naruto sat on the chair tremblingly, lowered his head and whispered,

"Brother Jige, I don't have any money..."

Jiger crossed his arms and said calmly,

"Just eat yours later, don't worry about the money."

"Uh, Brother Jige, you're not going to eat a free meal, are you?"

"I wouldn't do such a tasteless thing. You'll know after you finish eating."

The boss at the door finally came to his senses. He frowned and looked towards where Jiger and Naruto were. The clerk beside him asked in a low voice,

"Boss, do you want to serve them?"

Jig in his shadow state was indeed intimidating. The boss gritted his teeth and said,

"Go tell the kitchen to serve the food first. I'll go find the patrol. If they dare to cause trouble or dine for free, I'll make sure they pay for it!"

After the boss finished speaking, he hurriedly opened the door curtain and ran out, but bumped into a customer who came in.

The man was quite big and strong, and the boss felt it was hard when he bumped into him. He raised his head and wanted to apologize. When he saw the face of the man in front of him, he couldn't help but smile and said,

"Lord Asuma!"

Asma took the cigarette from the corner of his mouth and looked at his inexplicably excited boss with some confusion.

A standard royal sister voice sounded behind him.

"what happened?"

The boss stretched his head and took a look, his face suddenly became brighter. It was another Jonin, and the very famous Yuhi Kurenai among the Jonin of Konoha.

With these two here, why would we even need to look for the patrol? In the eyes of ordinary people like the boss, the status of a Jonin is definitely very strong.

The boss enthusiastically took Asuma's hand and pointed at Naruto and Jiger sitting in the hall and whispered,

"Lord Asuma, that fox demon came here to eat, and the man who came with him is also very suspicious. I suspect the two of them are going to cause trouble here. My small business can't withstand their trouble!"

When Asuma heard the word "demon fox", he was stunned at first, but then he quickly realized who his boss was talking about. He looked at Naruto, and there was no disgust on his face.

After all, he is the son of the Third Hokage, so he naturally would not regard Naruto as a demon fox like those ordinary people. He knows what happened that year.

Looking at Naruto sitting there waiting for his meal, Asuma shook his head and said,

"Boss, everyone who comes here is your customer. Don't make malicious assumptions about others. I don't think he will cause trouble here."

Xihihong, who was standing behind him, smiled slightly and said to the boss who was a little stunned,

"Yeah, you're too timid."

The boss who was teased by Xi Ri Hong did not dare to get angry, he could only smile awkwardly, rubbing his hands and said,

"You two are right. With you here, no one dares to cause trouble here."

Asuma waved his hand, ordered a few dishes, and then took Yuhi Kurenai into the hall. The two of them found a seat quite close to Naruto and Jiger.

Naruto was no longer as reserved as before, and he started talking again. Jiger listened to Naruto's "big fall" and dark lines appeared on his forehead. He raised his hand to stop him.

"Okay, stop talking. It's better to save your energy to stuff more into your mouth later."

Naruto nodded happily. He had no money to eat at a barbecue restaurant like this before. Even if he had finally saved enough money, he would not dare to go in.

Although it was still unclear how Jiger would pay the bill later, Naruto already had unconditional trust in Jiger. If Jiger said there was a way, then there must be a way, and he would just have to eat later.

Asuma was looking at Naruto and Jiger from a distance, and Yuhi Kurenai beside him asked in a low voice,

"Asuma, the one next to Uzumaki Naruto is the shadow clone he created using Dark Release. It seems that this shadow clone has a very strong sense of self."

Asma nodded slightly and said,

"Not only that, it is currently speculated that the shadow clone may be immune to most physical attacks. For us, there are still too many unknowns in the unprecedented bloodline elimination of Dark Release. Now Naruto's importance to Konoha is no longer just as simple as a Jinchūriki."

Xi Rihong curled her lips and said,

"But from what I know, the village has not been kind to Naruto over the years. It can even be said to be very bad. The child has had a very hard life."

Asuma sighed. This could be seen from the barbecue restaurant owner just now.
