Chapter 27:

After Akashi decided to meet up with his team.

"Huh?"

(What are these two guys doing?

It's weird!).

"Hey!"

"You guys aren't training at all, what are you doing secretly here? Say, have you guys already discussed it, and won't take me to eat anything!"

Naruto opened his puzzled eyes and ran over here.

"Haha."

Hinata lowered his head and smiled embarrassedly, and this scene fell into Hatake Akashi's eyes.

"Yeah, Naruto, we have already negotiated to eat ramen, so how about not bringing you?"

Hearing Hatake Akashi uttering these words confidently, Naruto was furious.

"Y-you! You! You! You are actually carrying me without taking me, Damn it!"

Seeing Naruto jumping up and down, almost blowing his eyes and staring, Hatake Akashi felt very interested.

But Hinata has a kind personality and can't bear to bully Naruto so, Akashi stands up and says:

"Okay, okay, We'll bring you, when the time comes, the two of us will invite you to eat ten bowls of ramen, okay?"

Naruto turned away his anger upon hearing this, but he wasn't surprised.

Only vaguely, he felt that Hinata and Akashi-kun's "we two" terms seemed a bit wrong.

It's not his responsibility though!

Someone treating to eat though!

"Oh yeah! Long live Ramen! I want to call Mrs. Asuma, and the four of us will go there together!"

With that said Naruto hurriedly ran to find someone.

......

In the evening.

"Good! Miso Pork ramen!"

The Ramen man Teuchi handed a few ramen noodles and brought them to the table with a smile.

"It's great, it smells so good! I'm going to start!"

Naruto folded his hands in excitement, and couldn't wait to start eating.

Asuma and Hinata, and Hatake Akashi both smiled and looked at Naruto.

"Tomorrow, Lord 3rd called us over."

Lighting a cigarette, Asuma said to Hatake Akashi.

"Tomorrow? Hmm."

Hatake Akashi nodded calmly.

He calculated in his mind.

Tomorrow, it should be the time for their group, the tenth class to officially carry out a task.

Since the division into classes, many former classmates have been seen less.

Under the leadership of their respective instructors, mostly Jōnin, they are training.

Some of the fast-moving ones, such as the seventh class led by Kakashi, are said to have started their tasks.

This makes Naruto envious.

I pester Asuma every day to ask when our class can perform the task.

But Asuma always puffed out cigarettes, smiled and told him immediately.

"Soon~".

It's been nearly a month.

Hatake Akashi didn't care about this at all.

The so-called experience and money that can increase by performing tasks are not tempting for him at all.

Far worse than practicing swords alone.

What he cares about now is the recent changes in Hinata.

Although she can still feel her gentle care every day, Hatake Akashi, who is keen-minded, still feels that Hinata feels a little lost in her heart.

Side Story: Boruto Vs Naruto

As a black-haired vertically challenged teen appeared in Hatake Akashi's backyard:

"...To spread the gift of ᦔꫀꪖꪻꫝ to the living and guard-". he said while blushing heavily.

"Shut up and get out!" said Akashi who looked annoyed as he almost had 65 percent done and stared with obvious hostility.

"...Your Aura...you are an extremely perverted person who simply wishes to live a normal life but is cursed with unrivalled talent and is somehow the enemy of ᦔꫀꪖꪻꫝ".

"Do you think I care about literally anything you said but if you don't leave I'll have to use force" he said while gripping his sabre.

"It seems that to decide whether we can be brothers, we must fight it seems this is what Boruto meant by referring to how he got along with Kawaki..." he whispered as Akashi got bored and just swung.

"First Form: Dance".

As Death brought out his Scythe ready to battle.

"...This is our battle my...brother ꪶ꠸ᠻꫀ as I now shall advance as your counter...

ᦔꫀꪖꪻꫝ".
