Chapter 42

With the help of the shadow clones, the four members of Team 7 lay directly on the hill for half a day.

Kakashi wanted to say something several times, but in the end, he said nothing.

Who stipulates that shadow clones cannot be used in D-level missions?

At noon,

The river was cleaned up, and the three people's backpacks were filled with garbage.

When the shadow clones of the three people came ashore, the three of them stretched out in unison.

"Ah~"

"Ah~" "ah–"

"…"

The three of them obviously didn't do anything, but they looked very tired.

"Hungry."

"Shall we go get something to eat?"

"Good."

"Kakashi-sensei, would you like us to bring you something to eat?"

"Well…I brought a lunch box."

Kakashi opened the bamboo basket he carried with him, and there were four boxed lunches inside.

"Huh? Are you eating a bento again? Kakashi-sensei, that bento isn't very good. Did you make it yourself?"

Kakashi's face turned red, and he didn't dare to say a word.

"Forget it, since you prepared a lunch box, teacher, we'd better have a lunch box for lunch."

"I have no opinion."

"Mm."

The three of them took one portion each, opened the lunch box, and ate it expressionlessly.

Kakashi's craftsmanship can't be said to be bad, but it can't be said to be good either.

Sakura felt they should reward themselves for completing their first mission as ninjas.

It's a pity…Kakashi didn't expect them to clean up the river so quickly and prepared lunch for them in advance.

Kakashi also took a bento and turned around to eat.

Sakura noticed Kakashi's strange behavior and wondered, "Kakashi-sensei, why do you turn your back to eat?"

"Ah, I don't like eating face-to-face with others," Kakashi said without looking back.

"Hmm?"

Sakura looked suspicious and pulled Kazuki and Naruto to whisper.

"What do you think Kakashi-sensei's face looks like under the mask? Is it not good-looking, so he eats behind our backs so we don't see him?"

"Boring."

Sasuke wasn't interested and continued to focus on eating.

Kazuki knew that Kakashi was a handsome guy, so he said half-jokingly, "Maybe Kakashi-sensei thinks he's too handsome and is afraid that he'll dazzle us!"

Kakashi, who had his back turned to them, turned red and unconsciously sped up his eating.

"How about we go take a look?"

Once some people are curious about something, they will always be itching to know the answer no matter what!

Sakura is obviously this kind of person.

Kazuki knew that if Sakura's curiosity wasn't satisfied, she might not sleep well all day.

"Okay, then let's sneak over quietly. Since Kakashi is deliberately hiding from us, he definitely doesn't want us to see it, so we'd better take a look secretly."

"Mm!"

Sakura and Kazuki began to pretend that nothing happened and concentrated on eating.

Suddenly, the two of them stretched their necks as if they had grown more than ten meters, right in front of Kakashi.

But Kakashi reacted faster and put on the mask as soon as Kazuki made a move.

He was still chewing rice in his mouth, but he said with a satisfied look, "I'm full!"

"Eh? Sakura, Kazuki, what are you looking at me for?"

Sakura: "…"

Kazuki: "…"

Sakura laughed and said, "It's nothing, I just want to see if you're full, Kakashi-sensei. If you're not, I still have some here."

"Ah, thank you, Sakura, but I'm full."

Kakashi said as he began to pack the empty lunch box.

In an instant, he stuffed all the food in the lunch box into his mouth and put on the mask.

Kakashi's hand speed…

Kazuki and Sakura were somewhat impressed.

"What should I do? Kakashi-sensei seems to be alert."

"Let's look for another chance. How about we treat Kakashi to dinner tonight?"

"Good idea! Sasuke, are you free tonight?"

"I won't go."

"No! If you don't invite the two of us, Kakashi-sensei will definitely not come!"

"Boring. I advise you to focus more on training. If you have time, practice more and get stronger so you won't hold us back in future missions."

Facing Sasuke's sarcasm, Sakura didn't take it to heart.

Instead, she continued to pique Sasuke's curiosity as if nothing was wrong.

"Don't you want to know what Kakashi looks like under his mask?"

"Big Rabbit Tooth?"

"Will his face look pockmarked?"

"Or Sausage Mouth Kakashi!"

"…"

Seeing that Sasuke was a little interested, Kazuki added, "You have to eat tonight anyway, so why not join us?"

Sasuke glanced at Kazuki,

He could tell that Kazuki wasn't really interested in what Kakashi looked like.

But since it was just a meal, it didn't delay anything.

So he agreed.

"Fine."

The three of them invited Kakashi to dinner together, celebrating their first mission as a team.

Kakashi didn't refuse.

In the evening, the four of them came to the barbecue restaurant.

Sakura thought that since the barbecue is cooked and eaten continuously, Kakashi wouldn't be able to wear a mask the whole time.

But things never go as planned.

Kakashi has been helping the three of them grill meat since they entered the barbecue restaurant.

The three of them couldn't stop eating, but Kakashi didn't take a bite!

"Kakashi-sensei, you eat too, don't keep grilling for us."

"It's okay, you eat first, I'll eat later."

Kakashi smiled with his eyes narrowed, and his hands kept moving.

Kazuki kept observing Kakashi;

He felt that Kakashi must have known about their plans and was deliberately doing this to prevent them from seeing what he looked like under the mask.

Well, maybe with a hint of mischief, deliberately teasing them!

But Kazuki didn't know what Kakashi would do after feeding them. Was he going to use the 'Look, flying saucer' trick?

After a while, the three of them were full, even their bellies were stuffed.

Like a seal with its belly turned inside out.

"Yeah~"

Sakura burped and said to Kakashi, "Kakashi-sensei, we're all full, now it's your turn to eat."

At this time, Kakashi was still grilling meat and had already piled his bowl full.

"Mm."

Kakashi smiled slightly, and suddenly seemed to see something, and said in surprise, "Oh, Ino, Hinata, are you two here to eat barbecue too?"

Hearing Ino and Hinata's names, the three of them subconsciously looked back.

Sasuke didn't know why he looked back, but when he saw Kazuki and Sakura looking back, he did too.

But when they looked over, they found two ordinary girls who weren't Hinata and Ino at all!

"Kakashi-sensei, you got the wrong person…"

Before Sakura could react, when she turned her head, she saw that Kakashi had already finished all the meat in his bowl.

He was still chewing the remaining meat in his mouth.

"I'm full, thanks for the treat!"

"Well!!!!!!!!!!"
