Chapter 38 "Naruto's true strength?"

Naruto looked at everyone's surprised expressions, a proud smile on his face, and said, "Don't just stand there, sit down and try it!"

Everyone sat down and picked up their chopsticks impatiently. Choji picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his mouth. His eyes lit up instantly, his cheeks bulged, and he said incoherently, "It's so delicious, Naruto. I've never eaten anything so delicious! This meat melts in your mouth, it's fat but not greasy, and it's just the right amount of sweet and salty. It's simply the best in the world!" As he spoke, he quickly picked up several more pieces and stuffed them into his mouth.

Shikamaru tasted a mouthful of Mapo Tofu, first narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling the spicy stimulation, and then praised it highly: "Well, the taste is very unique, Naruto, you are really good. This tofu is very smooth and tender, and the spicy taste jumps on the tip of the tongue, it's so addictive!"

Ino took a bite of sweet and sour pork and said excitedly, "This is even more delicious than I thought, Naruto. You must cook it for us often in the future. The sour and sweet taste, and the crispy outside and tender inside, simply make me intoxicated!" As she spoke, she kept putting it in her mouth.

Ya ate the shredded pork with fish flavor, nodded constantly, and said vaguely with his mouth full: "Delicious, delicious, Naruto, you can open a restaurant with your cooking skills. The shredded pork is smooth and tender, and the side dishes are also very tasty. I can't stop eating it!"

Shino savored each dish carefully, pushed up his glasses, and said seriously, "Excellent cooking skills, Naruto. The heat and seasoning of each dish are precisely controlled. It's really admirable."

Hinata just ate in small bites, with a happy smile on her face, and said softly, "Everything Naruto-kun makes is delicious." Her eyes were full of admiration and love for Naruto.

After eating a few bites, although Sasuke's expression was still a little grim, his tone also revealed a hint of appreciation: "Naruto, I didn't expect you to have this ability. It seems that you have really put a lot of effort into your cooking skills."

Then Naruto took out a Coke, with a mysterious and smug smile on his face and a hint of anticipation in his eyes. He distributed it to everyone one by one with brisk movements.

Naruto walked up to Hinata, bent down slightly, handed the Coke to her gently, looked at her tenderly, and said softly, "Hinata, here." Hinata took the Coke and her face turned even redder.

Then he turned to Shikada, casually stuffed the Coke into his hand, and said with a smile, "Shikada, you're welcome!" Shikada looked at the Coke in his hand curiously.

When facing Shikamaru, Naruto raised his eyebrows, casually threw the Coke to him, and teased: "Shikamaru, try this!" Shikamaru caught it with a helpless look on his face.

When giving Ino a Coke, Naruto blinked and said mischievously: "Ino, guess what this good thing is." Ino took it in confusion.

Walking to Kiba, Naruto patted his shoulder and handed him a Coke: "Kiba, take it!" Kiba took it excitedly.

Finally, Naruto came to Shino and placed the Coke in his hand with a serious expression. Shino watched calmly.

As for Sasuke, Naruto walked up to him and put the Coke in front of Sasuke: "Sasuke, want to try it?" Sasuke snorted coldly and took it.

Everyone opened the Coke and took a sip out of curiosity.

Dingci's eyes widened and he yelled "Wow!", almost spitting out the Coke in his mouth, "What is this? It's sweet and exciting!"

Shikamaru swallowed the cola with a look of surprise on his face, "Yeah, it tastes pretty good."

After taking a sip, Ino showed a surprised expression, "It tastes so good!"

Ya took a big sip and said with a smile: "This is much better than tea!"

Shino pushed up his glasses and nodded slightly, "It's a very special drink."

Hinata took small sips, a happy smile on her face.

Sasuke took a sip, with a barely perceptible hint of satisfaction flashing in his eyes.

"Naruto, how many good things have you hidden?" Choji said vaguely while drinking Coke in big gulps.

Naruto laughed but didn't answer, "Everyone, eat quickly and remember to come here for training early tomorrow morning. Come here every day after school and I'll provide dinner."

When everyone heard this, they all cheered.

The next morning, when Naruto arrived at the training ground, Sasuke and Itachi were already standing there waiting. Naruto walked hurriedly to their side.

"You guys are here really early, Mr. Itachi, are you interested in learning something else from me?" After hearing what Naruto said, Itachi's eyes instantly lit up with enthusiasm: "Naruto-kun, then I'd like to see you first." Naruto chuckled: "Don't worry, when everyone is here, we will have a battle first, let everyone see my strength, and then I will teach you a powerful training method."

Itachi, on the other hand, looked calm, nodded slightly and said, "Then I'll wait and see."

Not long after, everyone arrived. Naruto stretched his arms and legs, looked at Itachi, and said confidently: "Mr. Itachi, let's get started!"

Itachi nodded slightly, and in a flash, he stood in the center of the training ground first. Naruto followed closely behind, ready for battle.

The two stood facing each other, and the atmosphere instantly became tense. Everyone around them held their breath and stared at them intently.

Naruto grinned, "Mr. Itachi, you better be careful!"

Before he finished speaking, Naruto exerted force on his feet, used the "Shave" to instantly rush towards Itachi, and at the same time, concentrated the chakra in his hands, preparing to perform Fire Style. Seeing this, Itachi was not in a hurry, and used an "iron block" to block Naruto's attack, and then formed seals with both hands, "Fire Style: Phoenix Flower Technique", and countless fireballs shot towards Naruto.

Naruto flexibly used the "Moon Step" to dodge in the air, and at the same time, he blew out the "Fire Style: Great Dragon Fire Jutsu" from his mouth. The huge fire dragon collided with Itachi's fireball, stirring up a cloud of smoke.

In the smoke, Itachi used "Paper Painting" and moved like a ghost, appearing behind Naruto in an instant, and kicked Naruto with a "storm kick". Naruto reacted quickly, taking the blow with a "block of iron", and then quickly formed seals with both hands, "Fire Style: Dragon Fire Technique", and a flaming dragon pounced towards Itachi.

Itachi put his hands together and used the "Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique" again to fight against the flame dragon. Then, Itachi flashed and used the "Shave" to quickly come in front of Naruto and stabbed Naruto with a "finger gun".

Naruto dodged sideways and used "Paper Painting" at the same time, his body was like soft paper, avoiding Itachi's subsequent attacks. Then, Naruto formed seals with both hands, "Fire Style: Fire Dragon Flame Bullet", and the blazing flames turned into a giant dragon and rushed towards Itachi.

Itachi leaped into the air with a "Moon Step" to avoid the attack, and at the same time, he spewed out "Fire Style: Great Flame Ball" from his mouth, which collided with the Fire Dragon Flame Bomb in mid-air, causing a huge explosion.

The training ground was filled with flames and the battle became more intense.

The aftermath of the explosion had not yet dissipated, and Naruto's eyes flashed with determination. He exerted force on his feet again, and the speed of "shaving" became faster, rushing towards Itachi in the air like lightning. At the same time, the chakra in his hand was condensed again, preparing to release a more powerful fire escape.

Itachi steadied his body in the air, his expression serious, he quickly formed seals with his hands, and performed the "Fire Style: Dragon Fire Jutsu" again, and a more ferocious fire dragon roared out and headed straight for Naruto.

Naruto was not afraid at all. He used the "Moon Step" more skillfully, constantly changing his position in the air to avoid the fire attack. Then, he shouted: "Fire Style: Great Fireball Technique!" A huge fireball spewed out of his mouth and collided with Itachi's Fire Dragon again, and the training ground was instantly covered with flames.

At this time, Itachi saw the opportunity, swooped down from the air, and stabbed Naruto with his "finger gun" at lightning speed. Naruto dodged to the side, quickly fought back with both hands, and started a close combat with Itachi.

The two of them were as fast as the wind, punches and kicks intertwined, and it was hard to tell who was the winner. The friends around the training ground had already been deeply attracted by this fierce battle and did not dare to blink.

The friends were so shocked that they were speechless. Is this still the Naruto who was at the bottom of the class in school?

Shikamaru scratched his head, looking puzzled: "This guy is always laughing and joking, but I didn't expect him to be so powerful. I'm afraid his strength has reached the level of a jonin."

Choji put down the snacks in his hand and opened his mouth wide: "Naruto, this is too good. I have to work harder."

Ino was also surprised: "I never thought that Naruto could fight Itachi-san so hard."

Ya clenched his fists and said with a determined look: "Naruto is so strong, I can't fall behind."

Shino pushed up his glasses and analyzed calmly: "It seems that Naruto has put in a lot of effort in places we can't see."

Hinata blushed, her eyes full of admiration for Naruto: "Naruto-kun has always worked very hard, but you don't even know the efforts behind him."
