Chapter 437 Haruno Sakura's Cooking Talent

Many days passed in a blink of an eye...

...

"Naruto!~"

At the entrance of Konoha Village, Haruno Sakura, holding a basket of vegetables, happily greeted Uzumaki Naruto in the distance.

The girl's smile is as beautiful as a flower, and under the warm sun at noon, her appearance is even more beautiful, and anyone who sees her will be moved.

However, Uzumaki Naruto, who was practicing the Rasengan at a high place facing the water, couldn't help but tremble, and then subconsciously pretended not to hear it.

"Naruto!"

"Come down quickly! See what I brought you." Haruno Sakura waved her hands and shouted from below.

I don't want to go down just because I know what you brought! Uzumaki Naruto shouted in his heart.

But seeing that he didn't respond, Haruno Sakura didn't give up and increased the volume below. Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Uzumaki Naruto could only grit his teeth and stop his actions, forced a smile and turned around, he put his hands to his mouth and pretended to be very loud.

"Sakura."

"It's too noisy here, I can't hear what you say."

"Let's talk about it tonight~"

Haruno Sakura frowned slightly, looked at the water flowing in front of Uzumaki Naruto, and felt that he was probably telling the truth. So, she thought about it and followed Uzumaki Naruto's example, putting her hands to her mouth and forming a trumpet shape, with her chakra pulsating between her chest and abdomen.

The next second, the girl roared like thunder.

"Naruto!!!~"

"Come down quickly!!!~"

"I brought you some food!!!~"

Uzumaki Naruto: "(?｀?Д?′)"

My head is buzzing.

There was no other way, he could only endure the bitterness in his heart and jump down from the height.

"Sakura-chan." Uzumaki Naruto forced a smile, "For something like this, there's no need for you to come here in person. Why not just find someone to deliver it?"

Haruno Sakura exclaimed, "How can that be possible?"

"I worked so hard to prepare this for you, so of course I have to hand it to you personally."

"Kakashi-sensei and Yamato-senpai have worked so hard for you, what I am doing is nothing."

"By the way, I've prepared portions for Kakashi-sensei and Yamato-senpai as well. Tell them to come over and eat." Haruno Sakura said, looking around for the two of them. But after a round of searching, she didn't see them.

"They are not here." Uzumaki Naruto stroked his forehead and sighed.

To be precise, after he noticed Haruno Sakura coming over with a basket, he ran away at lightning speed.

"Is that so~" Haruno Sakura suddenly realized, and then said with emotion: "Then they will not have a good time."

Uzumaki Naruto's eye twitched when he heard that.

Good food?

If I remember correctly, yesterday he took a sip of the nourishing soup brought by Haruno Sakura, and after that one sip, he almost lost half a tube of blood.

Hatake Kakashi and the others were no less impressive. After tasting it with Yamato, they vowed never to try the food made by Haruno Sakura again. Yamato even made a sincere suggestion that the interrogation team could introduce Haruno Sakura's invention to improve work efficiency.

"Sakura." Uzumaki Naruto made up his mind that he must not repeat the same mistake as yesterday today and he must firmly refuse.

"Actually, I've already eaten."

"Have you eaten?" Haruno Sakura was stunned: "But it's just lunch time now."

"The intensity of training in the morning was quite high and the energy consumption was too great." Uzumaki Naruto admired himself. Now he could give such a reason without changing his expression.

"So I ate before lunch time."

"Really?" Haruno Sakura looked suspicious: "What did you eat?"

"These are the special tonic pills that the boss gave me!" Uzumaki Naruto was secretly glad that he was well prepared. He took out a box from the package on the side, opened it, and revealed a row of huge dark pills.

This is the stock that Suzumiya Musashi specifically requested from Might Guy.

"Tonic pills?" Haruno Sakura's eyes lit up: "Just right, I improved the recipe today and replaced the tonic soup with tonic pills."

She lifted the lid of the basket, revealing round brown balls inside.

"Try it, it tastes better than Musashi-senpai's."

Uzumaki Naruto's face turned pale.

"Sakura, really, I'm full..."

"Oh, it's just a meatball. What's the harm in eating a little more? Eat it quickly!" Haruno Sakura said with an expectant expression, as if waiting for Uzumaki Naruto's praise after tasting it.

Uzumaki Naruto really wanted to refuse.

He looked at the tonic pills in Haruno Sakura's basket.

If the tonic pills that Suzumiya Musashi brought him were about the size of rice balls, then the tonic pills that Haruno Sakura brought him were at least as big as braised lion's head.

One is as big as a fist and looks like it can be equivalent to a meal.

"Oh Naruto, come on! Want to try it~" Haruno Sakura said with rare anticipation in her tone.

Uzumaki Naruto couldn't refuse Haruno Sakura like this.

The person you secretly love is acting coquettishly and asking you to have a taste of her benefits. What else can Uzumaki Naruto do?

Of course it’s Dakouxuan!

"Okay...Okay, Sakura." Uzumaki Naruto gave in. But just in case, he still made a pudding: "But I've already had lunch, so if you can't eat it, I'll take it back and eat it in the evening."

Haruno Sakura nodded repeatedly.

Uzumaki Naruto then stretched out his hand, his eyes heavy as if he had made a great decision, and slowly took out a large brown meatball from the basket.

I applied gentle pressure with my fingers and squeezed it, and it felt a lot like a bouncy ball.

He put the big meatball to his mouth and opened his mouth to bite off a small piece.

No success.

The taste...or the biting feeling, is not very good.

He pushed again.

Hold the meatball tightly with both hands, push forward, bite a corner of the meatball in your mouth, and push your head back.

As he exerted force on his body, the meatballs were pulled long in his hands, and Uzumaki Naruto's face was deformed by them.

"How is it? Is it chewy?" Haruno Sakura expressed her opinion at the right time.

“I added isinglass!”

"It can enhance the flavor and chewiness of the pills, while making them more nutritious. How about that? Isn't it great?"

Uzumaki Naruto was busy biting the meatballs and didn't answer Haruno Sakura's question, burying his thoughts deep in his heart.

How can you tell the word "not bad" from my expression?

Uzumaki Naruto felt like a wild dog biting a tire.

The meatball in his mouth felt even tougher than a tire.

Just when he was about to give up.

There was a "pop" sound.

The effort paid off, and he bit the meatball off. The broken end started from his teeth and bounced back into his hand, with a "snap!" sound, which made his palm numb.

"How is it? Is it delicious?" Haruno Sakura asked.

"Hmm...~hmm." Uzumaki Naruto was busy refusing and didn't give a direct answer, but the look in his eyes and the thumbs up made Haruno Sakura feel happy.

Haruno Sakura was delighted.

"awesome!"

“I didn’t expect that I would succeed on my first try. I really am a little genius in cooking!”

"Naruto, I'll bring you lunch tomorrow, okay?"

Uzumaki Naruto was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
