Su Yuanyuan covered her mouth and laughed so hard she almost fell over, trying her best to hold it in under Naruto's disapproving gaze.

"You're right, Naruto is my favorite too."

Naruto snorted and turned his head. Su Yuanyuan patted his head. In the blink of an eye, Naruto had grown up so much and was about to graduate from the Ninja Academy.

In the past few years, apart from running her shop diligently and helping Naruto improve his skills, she hasn't done anything else, and thankfully, she hasn't touched the fragile nerves of the world's consciousness.

But Naruto is about to graduate. It's safe outside Konoha, but if something really happens to him, Su Yuanyuan can't guarantee she won't do something.

She couldn't just stand by and watch Naruto get into trouble, since he was the child she had raised.

"How about I take you out for barbecue later as an apology?"

"Can I bring other people with me?"

Su Yuanyuan looked at Naruto, her lips twitching. This brat, does he think her money grows on trees? Choji alone could bankrupt her.

She pinched his face hard, and seeing him cover his face with tears in his eyes, Su Yuanyuan nodded in agreement with a forced smile.

"can!"

Knowing that Naruto had made several friends in recent years, Su Yuanyuan booked a large private room at the barbecue restaurant. As soon as the time came, a group of young men and women rushed inside.

With a gentle smile on her face, Su Yuanyuan placed her hand on Naruto's head and waited until they were all seated before speaking slowly and deliberately in his ear.

“Three minutes to throw 500 shuriken, or I’ll twist your head off.”

Naruto chuckled awkwardly, clutching his head. "Sister, you promised you'd like me the most!"

"My preferences are time-sensitive," Su Yuanyuan said softly, pushing him towards the table.

"Enjoy your meal, and you can put it on my tab later. I'll be going now."

"Take care, sister!"

A group of people stood up and bowed to her, which made her speechless. They looked like gangsters.

He glared at Naruto fiercely. It was all that kid's fault. Look what he had taught them!

Naruto felt guilty and didn't dare to look at her. Su Yuanyuan gave him a look that said, "Let's talk about it when we get home," then closed the door and left.

Su Yuanyuan bumped into Kakashi carrying groceries on the street and waved to him. This guy had already left the Anbu and was now unemployed.

Last year, he traded a villa for an apartment, and Su Yuanyuan looked at him like he was an idiot for six whole months, which made Kakashi avoid her for a while.

"Oh! Is it closed?"

Since leaving the Anbu, Kakashi has been completely listless. Su Yuanyuan mocked him for being like a dead fish, but he just waved his hand dismissively.

"No, Naruto invited his friends to eat barbecue, so I left early. Mai is watching over the restaurant."

In Su Yuanyuan's opinion, Mai is the best girl she has ever met. Since teaching her to cook, Su Yuanyuan has had more free time.

Su Yuanyuan gives Mai a raise every year, and last year she even gave her shares, so Mai has been working even harder since then.

"Oh, is that so? Would you like to have dinner together?"

Kakashi held up the dish in his hand and asked her. Su Yuanyuan glanced at it, her brow twitched, and she looked back at him.

"that's it?"

I only bought two green vegetables and a piece of tofu. Am I planning to let her eat air?

In recent years, Kakashi has frequently gone to her house to freeload meals, and he doesn't clean up afterward. His shamelessness is exactly the same as when he was a child.

I don't know how things turned out this way. It's not like he's short of money; he's probably sold quite a few villas.

"Let's go eat ramen, it's your treat. You're starting to look like a颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a state of being listless, decadent, or颓废) old man."

"It doesn't matter, nobody's watching anyway."

Su Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at him and didn't respond to the conversation. If he didn't make it clear, Su Yuanyuan wouldn't be able to refuse, in case she misunderstood, which would be awkward.

"What are your plans after this? Are you going to never work again?"

During dinner, Su Yuanyuan asked him again. Given his previous energy, Su Yuanyuan didn't believe he would be idle; he must be brewing something big.

Kakashi glanced at her sideways. "You'll be taking on students later, right?"

Su Yuanyuan's eyes lit up instantly. Such a good thing? Could he take Naruto with him? She really respected Kakashi's strength.

Have you decided who to bring?

"Not yet, I'm still hesitating."

Su Yuanyuan slammed her hand on the table with a loud thud, looking at him with bright, sparkling eyes.

"How about bringing Naruto along? My Naruto will definitely not hold us back, and he's obedient and well-behaved!"

Kakashi glared at Su Yuanyuan with a constipated expression. How could she use the word "obedient and well-behaved"? Everyone in Konoha knows that Naruto is a little devil, and he's only somewhat obedient to Su Yuanyuan.

"I...I'll think about it!"

Su Yuanyuan grabbed his collar and glared at him.

"What else are you considering? Do you look down on Naruto?"

Kakashi's forehead was covered in sweat. He grabbed Su Yuanyuan's hand and said, "Okay, okay, I'll apply tomorrow. Let go of me now!"

Su Yuanyuan ruffled the white fur, smiled, and sat down to continue eating. "Eat quickly, go back to sleep early, and get up early tomorrow!"

After finishing their meal, Su Yuanyuan paid the bill and saw Kakashi off with a smile, finally feeling less worried about Naruto's future.

When she got home, she found that Naruto hadn't returned yet. She snorted and sat down on the sofa. "That little brat dares to stay out so late. He needs a good beating."

Su Yuanyuan waited until it was completely dark before Naruto tiptoed in.

She squinted at his furtive behavior, and just as he was about to pass by, she coughed lightly, startling Naruto.

"Sis... Sister, you're still awake?"

"Where have you been? Why are you so late?"

Before he could answer, Su Yuanyuan walked up to him and smelled alcohol. She immediately knew what he had done, and a bamboo stick appeared in her hand.

"How old are you? How dare you drink alcohol!"

She didn't hold back at all, which immediately made Naruto cry out in pain and start running around the room, begging for mercy.

"Sister! I was wrong, I'll never do it again!"

"What did you do wrong? I was wrong. I was too lenient with you. I'm going to correct you today."

As she spoke, she slapped Naruto hard again. The two chased each other in the small room, and Su Yuanyuan's every slap landed precisely on him.

Kakashi clicked his tongue twice while sitting on the roof, but his eyes curved into crescents as he slipped away before Su Yuanyuan noticed.

Naruto wailed for half the night, and the next day, with a bruised and swollen face, he limped to school, attracting a lot of attention on the way.

Shikamaru chuckled a few times when he saw him like that, and went over to help him up. "I told you not to drink, Kaede-nee won't let you off the hook."

Naruto covered his face and grimaced, "Ouch! I should have listened to you! My sister was too ruthless; I didn't dodge a single blow. She's amazing!"

Seeing his sister-obsessed look, Shikamaru rolled his dead fish eyes and tossed him aside, "Since you're alright, you can go now!"

"Tsk! You're so disloyal! I'm badly injured!"

Naruto accused Shikamaru of being heartless, pressing his entire body down on him, causing Shikamaru to stumble.
