Chapter 91 Post-match gathering

Sasuke raised his eyes slightly, a hint of doubt in his eyes: "What suggestions?"

Naruto took a deep breath and slowly said, "Remember the guy we met at Training Ground No. 44 some time ago?" Sasuke frowned slightly and tried to search his mind for memories of Training Ground No. 44. After a moment, he said, "Are you talking about the guy from Kusagakure Village?"

Naruto nodded: "Yes, it is him. I have collected some information about him during this period. He is not actually from the Kusagakure Village, but a rebel ninja of Konoha, a disciple of the Third Hokage, and is known as Orochimaru, one of the Three Ninjas."

When Sasuke heard this, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes and his brows frowned even more tightly: "Then what is his purpose in appearing there?" Then, Naruto pointed at Sasuke with his finger.

Sasuke looked at Naruto's finger pointing at him, and his heart suddenly trembled, and his brows furrowed like a deep ravine. "You mean... his target is me?"

Naruto nodded slightly and said in a very serious manner, "Yes, Orochimaru is attracted to your body, but even more so to your eyes. He has been looking for a vessel with powerful potential, and your body and Sharingan are extremely attractive to him."

"But what does this have to do with your suggestion?" Sasuke asked with a puzzled look on his face.

Then, Naruto burst into laughter. "What if I said, I want you to go to Orochimaru?"

Sasuke's eyes widened when he heard this, his face full of shock and confusion: "What? Go to Orochimaru? Are you crazy, Naruto? That guy is a traitor, and you just said that he covets my body."

Naruto put away his smile and said seriously, "Sasuke, don't be impatient. Listen to me. Although Orochimaru is extremely dangerous, it is undeniable that he does possess many powerful ninjutsu and unknown secrets. If you go to him, with your potential, he will definitely use all his resources to train you. And you can also quickly improve your strength in this crisis-filled situation. Moreover, with your ability and wisdom, you may not be completely controlled by him. When you are strong enough, find a chance to get rid of him, so that you can achieve your goal faster."

Sasuke frowned and fell into deep thought. He knew that Naruto's suggestion was full of great risks, but he had to admit that there was a grain of truth in it. After a long while, he slowly said, "Naruto, your suggestion is really crazy. But I will think about it carefully."

Naruto looked at Sasuke who was lost in thought and said softly, "Sasuke, I know this is risky, but at the moment, this may be a way for you to grow quickly. Although Orochimaru is evil, his persistent pursuit of power will make him spare no effort to cultivate people with potential. You have the talent of Sharingan, he will definitely pay special attention to you."

Sasuke was silent for a long time, then slowly raised his head, his eyes revealing a hint of determination: "Naruto, I understand your intentions. But I can't make a decision easily. I need time to think about it and carefully weigh the pros and cons."

Naruto nodded: "Okay, Sasuke. You think about it carefully. No matter what decision you make in the end, I will firmly support you. What I said just now is just a suggestion for you. After all, you need to choose the future path by yourself. I just hope that you can grow up as quickly as possible and realize your ideals and goals. Together, we can protect everything we cherish."

The breeze blew gently, and the two figures looked particularly firm in the sunlight.

After an unknown amount of time, Naruto was awakened by a rapid knock on the door. He opened the door sleepily and saw Sasuke standing quietly outside. Naruto asked drowsily, "What's wrong, Sasuke?" Sasuke raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said, "You're awake. Let's go. Kakashi-sensei invited us to celebrate our selection and treat us to barbecue." Naruto's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his sleepiness instantly disappeared without a trace. "Barbecue! Great, let's go." The two quickly packed their luggage and walked happily towards the agreed barbecue restaurant. Along the way, Naruto was very excited and kept talking about his expectations for barbecue. Sasuke occasionally responded with a sentence or two, and the smile on his face became more and more intense.

When they arrived at the barbecue restaurant, Kakashi and Sakura were already waiting there. "You're here, take a seat." The four of them sat around the table, where plates of sliced ​​meat were neatly placed. Naruto couldn't wait to put the meat on the grill. The other three didn't move, but just looked at Naruto quietly, their eyes full of anticipation, and they swallowed their saliva unconsciously. I have to sigh that Naruto's cooking skills are really extraordinary. Even with the same ingredients, the same seasonings, and the same techniques, Naruto can still cook delicious dishes that are a hundred times more delicious than others. The grilled meat sizzled on the grill, exuding an enticing aroma, as if telling a beautiful story.

Just then, a loud roar suddenly came from the store, "Naruto, is that you?"

Naruto, Kakashi and others who were concentrating on cooking, all stood up curiously when they heard the shout, and looked in the direction of the roar. I saw that Choji's mouth was full of barbecue, his cheeks were bulging like a small balloon, and he was trying hard to pout his nose, greedily sniffing the rich meaty aroma in the air. As a senior foodie, and having been influenced by Naruto's barbecue for more than ten years, Choji naturally recognized this familiar smell at the first sniff. His eyes were sparkling, as if he had discovered the most precious treasure in the world, and that look was really hilarious. Kakashi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a hint of sarcasm: "It seems that Naruto's barbecue is really attractive, and even Choji is attracted to it." Sakura smiled and shook her head gently, saying: "Choji's persistence in food is really admirable." Sasuke still had a calm face, but there was a hint of a faint smile in his eyes that was not easy to detect. Naruto looked at Choji with a brilliant smile on his face, and said loudly: "Choji, come and eat with us!" When Choji heard this, his eyes instantly lit up brightly, and before he could even swallow the barbecue in his mouth, he couldn't wait to run towards them.
