Chapter 37 Do You Want to Become Stronger?

Naruto looked around and continued, "First of all, I want to ask everyone, do you want to become stronger?"

After hearing this, the friends all showed a determined look on their faces.

Shikamaru scratched his head and said, "It's troublesome, but I also want to become stronger so that I won't be helpless in the face of danger."

Dingci patted his belly and said with a silly smile: "I want to become stronger too, so that I can eat more delicious food!"

Ino clenched her fists and shouted, "I don't want to hold you back. I want to become very strong!"

Hinata blushed and said softly but firmly, "I...I want to become stronger so I can help Naruto-kun."

Ya grinned and said, "Of course I will become the strongest ninja, taking Akamaru with me!"

Shino pushed up his glasses and said calmly, "In order to protect better, I need stronger power."

Sasuke had a stern expression and said firmly: "I want to gain enough power to be recognized by my father!"

"Naruto, are you looking for us in a hurry just to ask us this?" Shikamaru asked puzzledly, scratching his head.

The other friends also looked at Naruto with confusion. Then Choji muttered with dissatisfaction: "Yeah, Naruto. I'm about to have dinner. I thought you had something urgent to do."

After hearing what Choji said, Naruto laughed and said, "You guys, you only know how to eat. Don't worry, I asked you to come here today just to get your opinions first. I will make a table of delicious food for everyone later. It's not barbecue."

After hearing Naruto's words, Choji immediately lost his dissatisfaction. He drooled and looked at Naruto with hope.

Naruto glanced around and said, "As ninjas, we should focus on strength. But I feel that according to the current progress of the ninja school, our strength improvement is too limited. I have a method to improve our strength, but I don't know if you are willing to learn it."

Shikamaru frowned and questioned, "Naruto, what good ideas do you have? Stop bragging!"

Ino also put her hands on her hips and said, "That's right, don't fool us."

Grinning, he said disdainfully: "Naruto, you tell us first. If it's not reliable, don't blame us for not believing you."

Shino pushed up his glasses and said calmly, "Naruto, I need to see a practical solution before I will consider it."

During the time he was studying at the Ninja School, everyone had seen Naruto's strength. Although it couldn't be described as trash, it was certainly hard to give him a compliment.

Naruto always had only a vague understanding of theoretical knowledge in class, and his test scores were often on the edge of the passing line. In the practice of ninjutsu, Naruto always stumbled when others could easily master the basic techniques, either making mistakes in hand seals or improper chakra control. During physical training, his movements were clumsy and uncoordinated, and there was a clear gap compared to the flexibility and agility of other students. Even when performing some simple tasks, Naruto often encountered many problems, which made people shake their heads and sigh. So when Naruto said there was a way to improve his strength, everyone had nothing but doubts.

Hinata and Sasuke were the only ones who remained silent. After several years of getting along, it can be said that whenever Naruto was training in the forest training ground, Hinata would definitely be by his side. Naruto's unique physical skills, strange sealing skills, and powerful ninjutsu shocked Hinata all the time.

And Sasuke, when Naruto finished asking everyone questions, he already had a hint of anticipation in his heart. Over the years, Naruto and Itachi have practiced together for no less than a hundred times, and Sasuke has been present in almost every one of them. The scene of the two fighting always shocked the young man, and on the way home, Itachi said to Sasuke that Naruto had not used his full strength in every battle. If one must describe Naruto's strength, it can only be described as unfathomable. In fact, Sasuke had long wanted to practice with Naruto, but every time he wanted to bring it up, his throat seemed to be blocked by a ton of rocks, and he could not open his mouth. This time Naruto brought it up himself, how could he not be excited? He clenched his fists, staring at Naruto, looking forward to his next words.

Seeing everyone's disdainful expressions, Naruto didn't take it to heart: "Don't worry, everyone. You won't believe me if I tell you now. Tomorrow is Sunday. So I invited Sasuke's brother to cooperate with me. It's up to you whether you want to learn it or not."

When everyone heard this, there was another uproar.

Shikamaru pouted and said, "Sasuke's brother? Can he come? Naruto, stop bragging."

Dingci also muttered: "That's right, I don't believe it."

Ino crossed her arms, "Naruto, please stop talking nonsense."

Ya Ze looked doubtful: "Can this be true?"

Shino pushed his glasses and remained silent, but his eyes revealed doubt.

Only Hinata said softly: "Naruto-kun, I believe you."

Looking at everyone's expressions, Naruto was helpless, after all, his performance in school was too poor. However, Naruto did not say anything more, but took out a sealing scroll in his hand, which sealed pots, pans, and various ingredients.

Everyone was delighted when they saw Naruto's actions, and they put this question behind them, especially Choji who rushed over to ask Naruto what he was going to make for everyone.

Choji's eyes lit up and he asked eagerly, "Naruto, do you have any barbecue?"

Naruto smiled and shook his head: "No barbecue this time, but there are more delicious things waiting for you."

Shikamaru shrugged, "As long as it fills my stomach."

Ino said excitedly, "Naruto, tell us now!"

Yaye came over and said, "Yeah, don't keep me in suspense!"

Although Shino didn't say anything, he stood aside with anticipation in his eyes.

Naruto smiled mysteriously: "You will know in a moment!"

Then Naruto fiddled with it. He skillfully set up the pot, his movements were quick and neat, and then calmly lit the fire. The jumping flames seemed to cheer for his cooking. Then, Naruto carefully poured the oil, and when the oil was hot and sizzling, he quickly poured the prepared dishes into the pot. He was seen holding a spatula and constantly stir-frying, with a chef-like demeanor. Sometimes he controlled the heat, sometimes he added seasonings, and every movement was precise and focused. Sweat slid down his forehead, and he didn't even bother to wipe it off. Half an hour later, a table of delicious Chinese food was finally presented to everyone. The aroma was so fragrant that it made people salivate.

After several years of hard work, Naruto's cooking skills have already been improved to mastery. Today, Naruto knows the characteristics of various ingredients very well. Whether it is the crispness of vegetables or the tenderness of meat, he can accurately grasp them. In terms of seasoning, Naruto has a unique experience, with moderate saltiness, and the right proportion of sour, sweet, bitter and spicy, which can always arouse people's deepest appetite. His cooking skills are also becoming more and more sophisticated. Cutting, frying, steaming, and boiling, each step is like an artistic performance, which is pleasing to the eye. With his love for cooking and unremitting practice, Naruto has mastered the mysteries of cooking and has long become a veritable cooking master.

Choji's eyes widened, drooling uncontrollably: "What...what are these? They smell so good!"

Shikamaru couldn't help but sigh: "Naruto, where did you learn all this?"

Ino was so surprised that her mouth couldn't close. "This is incredible, it looks much more exquisite than the food we usually eat!"

Ya opened his mouth: "Wow, I can't wait to taste it!"

Shino pushed up his glasses, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes.

Hinata blushed slightly and said softly: "Naruto-kun, you are amazing..."

Sasuke raised his eyebrows slightly, and became more curious about Naruto.
