Chapter 196 Don’t come back until you’re drunk

Naruto was slightly stunned when he heard what the Four-Tails said. He didn't expect that the Four-Tails would agree to give him the power of its tail so easily. But he quickly reacted and said to Lao Zi and the Four-Tails: "Four-Tails, thank you for your recognition. I will use this power well."

But they didn't know that at this moment the Four-Tails seemed to see the shadow of that old man in Naruto.

The Four-Tails snorted, "Naruto, I hope you can remember what I said today. Kurama, your human jūriki is really not simple."

Kurama responded inside Naruto's body: "Humph, that's natural. If my Jinchūriki doesn't have some skills, how can he be worthy of my power." Although his words were filled with his usual tsundereness, one could also hear his recognition of Naruto.

Lao Zi looked at Naruto. At this moment, he no longer had any doubts about Naruto. Instead, he had more respect for him. Then he slowly shed the Four-Tails appearance and returned to his original appearance.

As the huge chakra of the Four-Tails gradually converged, Lao Zi's figure gradually shrank, the appearance of the Four-Tails gradually faded, and the hot breath also extinguished in the air. His face, which was originally covered by the Four-Tails, gradually became clear. It was a face that had experienced vicissitudes but remained resolute.

Naruto walked forward and asked with concern, "Old Zi, are you okay?"

Lao Zi shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "I'm fine, Naruto. You really impressed me, and now I am convinced of you."

Wukong also stepped forward and poked with his giant finger: "Old Zi, you are a wise man who recognizes heroes."

Lao Zi smiled bitterly: "I don't have that much ability. It was Naruto himself who won the recognition of the Four-Tails with his own strength."

Naruto scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "This is all thanks to your willingness to believe in me and give me the opportunity to show my abilities.

The scene at this moment became harmonious and peaceful, completely different from the atmosphere of the fierce battle before. Lao Zi took a deep breath, as if feeling the relief of not having the Four-Tails' chakra filling his body.

At this moment, a "gurgling" sound rang out. This sound was particularly abrupt in the quiet atmosphere, and everyone's attention was attracted.

Wukong scratched his head awkwardly: "Hey, maybe the battle consumed too much energy and I'm hungry."

Naruto shook his head helplessly, then waved his hands violently. A faint light flashed, and ten huge grills appeared in front of the two men and the King Kong. These grills looked very sturdy, each made of thick metal bars, and the grids on the grills were even and dense. Then, another flash of light flashed, and more than a dozen deer corpses in the copy also appeared in this open space. These deer corpses were well preserved, with smooth fur and firm muscles, as if they had just died not long ago.

Wukong's eyes lit up, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. He rubbed his huge palms and said, "Naruto, I haven't eaten the barbecue you made for a long time. I have to eat this venison raw every day."

Lao Zi, who was standing by, was also shocked by Naruto's move. His eyes widened, his mouth slightly opened, and his face was full of disbelief. In his cognition, the ability to summon a grill and a deer carcass out of thin air was too strange. He was secretly amazed in his heart that Naruto seemed to always have endless magical abilities hidden in him, and every time he showed them, he could exceed his imagination.

Lao Zi couldn't help but walk forward and carefully looked at the grills and deer carcasses. He reached out and touched the grills, and the solid texture told him that all this was not an illusion. He looked at the deer carcasses again, and the fur was intact and lifelike, as if they had just been killed.

"Naruto, what kind of ninjutsu is this? You can do all this so easily." Lao Zi asked curiously, with a gleam of inquiry in his eyes.

Naruto replied with a smile as he continued to fiddle with the venison, "Old Zi, this is my secret."

Lao Zi raised his eyebrows. Although he was a little curious, he didn't ask any more questions. "Huh, you always have so many secrets. But considering that this delicious barbecue is about to be out of the oven, I won't ask any more questions."

Wukong laughed at the side: "Old Zi, don't worry about it. Naruto has as many secrets as his ninjutsu. If you ask him about every one of them, he won't be able to answer them all."

Naruto looked at Wukong gratefully. Then he focused on processing the deer, while sprinkling various seasonings on it. Under the licking of the flames, the deer meat soon became more golden and crispy, exuding a rich aroma. The aroma filled the air, making Wukong's stomach growl again.

"Naruto, your grilling skills are getting better and better. I can't wait to enjoy it." Goku said, staring at the venison on the grill.

Naruto smiled and quickened his movements. He knew that Wukong and Lao Zi were already hungry, and he had been looking forward to this barbecue for a long time. After a while, the first piece of venison was grilled, and Naruto used a knife to cut the venison into small pieces. Lao Zi.

Wukong grabbed the whole roasted deer and put it into his mouth. His huge mouth easily wrapped the roasted deer, chewed it up and swallowed it in a few seconds. Wukong smacked his lips and said with satisfaction: "Naruto, your roasted meat is so delicious, I haven't eaten enough yet.

Naruto looked at the way Goku ate and couldn't help but smile and shook his head: "Goku, you still eat so boldly. But don't worry, there is still a lot." As he said that, Naruto bought a few bottles of wine from the system space and threw them to Lao Zi.

Lao Zi took the wine steadily, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Naruto, you are quite thoughtful." After that, he skillfully opened the bottle cap, and a strong aroma of wine instantly spread. Lao Zi smelled the aroma of the wine, with a comfortable expression on his face, raised his head and took a big sip, "Well, this wine tastes very good."

After three rounds of drinking, Lao Zi's bold personality began to show up thoroughly. His face was slightly flushed, and his eyes were full of drunkenness. He stood up, holding the bottle tightly in his hand. Although his steps were a little staggering, his momentum was not diminished.

"Naruto, today I, Old Zi, am completely convinced by you." Old Zi said loudly, his voice slightly hoarse from the alcohol, "Your strength and courage, I, Old Zi, admire you so much. Come, have another drink!" After saying that, Old Zi raised his head and drank the wine in the bottle, then threw the empty bottle aside, and the bottle rolled a few times on the ground.

Seeing Lao Zi's look, Wukong also became excited. He picked up the huge wine bottle that Naruto specially replaced for him and shouted to the sky: "Haha, today is really refreshing! Lao Zi, now you are like a straightforward person."

Naruto looked at the two of them with a happy smile on his face. He also stood up and raised the bottle: "Come on, let's have another drink together. We won't leave until we are drunk today!"

Lao Zi came over with a big laugh, and put his arm around Naruto's shoulders, almost pulling him down with such force. "Okay! Let's drink to our heart's content today. Throw away all the worries and sorrows."

The atmosphere at this moment was extremely lively. The two men and the King Kong were enjoying the joy brought by wine and meat in this open space. They seemed to have forgotten the fatigue and tension of the previous battle, and did not think about the challenges they might face in the future. They were just immersed in the pleasure of the moment.
