[Naruto] Lucky EX's Ninja-kun

After a short talk, Sakai left as silently as when he came.

After he left, the third generation looked up at the pictures of past Hokage on the wall, and said with a sigh of relief: "Your suggestion just now is not bad, can it really work?"

The corners of Nara Shikahisa's lips curled up, and he said with a bit of pride: "Others probably won't do it, but Kogoro is my disciple. And... this idea was given to me by accident a few years ago, and I didn't Thought it would be useful."

"That's right, I remember you raised Kogoro as your assistant, and Minato has been praising that smart kid to me."

Lu Jiu recalled the gloomy look of the proud disciple before, and sighed, "I hope he can wake up sooner."

Sandai took a puff of a cigarette, and couldn't help but think of another person in his mind, "It's good that Kogoro still has you, but Kakashi... He always had darkness in his heart, and now even Minato, who dispels the darkness for him, is gone. I'm really sorry Minato..."

Shikajiu knew about Kakashi, he pondered for a moment and asked, "Does the third generation plan to let him stay in Anbu?"

The third generation nodded, seeing Lu Jiu's reaction, he knew there was a way.

Sure enough, Lu Jiu said: "It's not really a good solution, but since Kakashi still wants to stay in Anbu, why not let him help Kogoro, maybe the two of them can resonate. , Rao is better than walking alone."

The third generation did not agree directly, but thought quietly for a while, "That's fine, let's do it this way. After a while, I will send Kakashi over after I come back from my appointment."

Many people think that the promotion from Chunin to Jonin is just like leveling up in the game, as if they can be promoted as long as they have enough strength, but in fact it is not the case.

Just imagine the Chunin Exam in the original book, is Sasuke strong?Is Naruto strong?Is Ning Ci strong?But in the end, only Shikamaru was promoted to Chunin after the whole exam.Even the promotion is so strict, let alone the promotion.

Generally speaking, in order to become a Jonin, one must at least have a skill and the awareness of being a Jonin.

The Chunin manages a small team, and most of the time they only need to be in charge of coordination. Most of the tasks they receive are C-level and B-level escorts, bandit suppression, and inspections.The missions received by Junin are A-level and S-level, and most of them have to deal with other countries. At this time, Jonin represents a village or a country, and what Junin has to think about is not just a country. The team, as well as the image and interests of the village.

This condition has not been relaxed even during wartime, but it just gave ninjas more opportunities to show off during wartime. Facing some key nodes, some people can make correct choices, thus making achievements and being promoted to Jonin.

The focus has never been on merit, but on the reason for being able to make merit—the so-called johnin consciousness.

Sakai's strength is not strong, and he doesn't have any special skills in ninjutsu, but he was able to become a jounin at a young age, and he became a leader in the same period because he had enough jounin awareness and made certain achievements.

It's just that all of this turned into a sigh in the end-it's a pity.

Sakai, who had completed the retirement procedures, looked at the forehead guard in his hand—it was a souvenir for him, and locked it in the drawer together with the ninja costume he was wearing.

From today onwards, Kogoro Sakai no longer exists, and only the owner of Konoha Izakaya is left.

Sakai smiled in the mirror.

It's stiff and ugly.

He recalled the smiles of his parents in the past, tried to make a natural smile, and then reached out to wipe away the tears that fell inadvertently.

It took him two days to clean the izakaya (first floor) and home (second floor), and went shopping for some ingredients. After making all the preparations, he changed into the Japanese chef uniform worn by his father.

"Xiao Wulang?" When he hung up the lantern at the door again, the mother-in-law of the dumpling shop next door noticed his outfit and asked in surprise, "Why did you come to open the shop? Don't you want to be a ninja?"

"Good afternoon, mother-in-law." Sakai greeted him naturally, with a shallow smile on his face, just like the old him, "I will ask for more advice in the future. I have retired now, and I have to take good care of my family. The izakaya is open!"

He made a gesture of effort, looking full of vigor, "Sakai Izakaya will reopen today!"

The mother-in-law was still a little worried, but seeing that everything was normal, she felt a little relieved, "Alright, opening a shop is much safer than being a ninja, do you want my help?"

Sakai shook his head, "It's okay, I used to help the family often, it can be done."

In the next few days, just as he said, although many people did not notice the reopening of the izakaya at the beginning, the situation gradually improved, and Sakai also became familiar with the work of the izakaya during the few days when there were not many customers.

The Sakai family’s izakaya is located in a prime location in Konoha. Since it is only 10 minutes away from Hokage, many ninjas who come back from missions will choose to have a drink here. Of course, most of them are adults.

As for those underage ninjas, most of them chose the dumpling shop next to the izakaya.

"It just so happens that everyone's tasks have been completed, why don't we celebrate by having dumplings!" Maitekai looked at his companions with bright eyes.

"It doesn't matter..." Shiranui Genma shrugged.

"Yo Xi! Let's go to the dumpling shop! Let's compete and see who is the first to reach the dumpling shop!" Kai rushed out after speaking, but unfortunately, the remaining few people had no idea about this kind of competition. interest.

When they arrived at the dumpling shop, Kai looked like he had been waiting for them for a long time, and scolded them for not burning enough.

"Wait." Yuhihong grabbed Asma who was about to enter the dumpling shop, and pointed to the door of the izakaya nearby, "Sakai's izakaya... is open?" She remembered Sakai a few days ago Still in a coma in the hospital, and now the izakaya is open, does this mean that the person has woken up?

The business hours of izakaya are usually at night. During the day, the lanterns are not lit, and the number of customers is relatively small, so it is not conspicuous.

The few people who were about to enter the dumpling shop looked at each other, gave up their original plans, and walked into the izakaya instead.

Asma Sarutobi opened the wooden door, lifted the blue calico curtain at the door and took a peek inside. There were some scattered people sitting in the shop, and there were two sitting at the front desk, enjoying wine leisurely.

Hearing the figure of the door being opened, Sakai followed the prestige and smiled when he saw a group of acquaintances, "Hey, are you coming to eat? But you can't drink." Everyone is still underage.

Kai who was outside the door immediately pushed Asma away when he heard the words, rushed in to look at Sakai, and then gave him a thumbs up, "He's recovering very well!"

Sakai nodded, "I've been lying down for several days and my bones are weak. Sit down and eat whatever you want."

Asma and the others walked in and followed Kai and sat down at the front desk. Hong, who was walking at the end, looked at Sakai in a cooking uniform and didn't wear a forehead protector on his head, wondering, "Why did you open the shop?" It's just a Zhongnin, so I don't know that Sakai can't use Chakra.

While making tea for them, Sakai said flatly: "Well, I can't be a ninja anymore, so I have to come back and open a shop. It happens that my parents are away, so I also want to keep this shop running."

Several people were stunned for a moment, and Kai immediately stood up, "What can't be called a ninja?"

Sakai made a comforting gesture to him, shrugged and said: "I was injured earlier, and now I can't even use the split/body technique, so I just retired."

His tone was very flat, as if it was not a big deal.

Kai suddenly shed two tears, "What a sad thing!" Immediately afterwards, he suddenly slapped the table and said, "It's decided! Since you can't use ninjutsu, you can practice it with me." Taijutsu, I will definitely hand over my best skills to you! Come on, burn your youth! Become Konoha's blue beast with me!"

Faced with Kai's big white teeth and gleaming fighting spirit, Sakai's forehead suddenly burst into sweat, "Please forgive me, Kai, you know I've never been very good at martial arts."

Seeing that Kai did not intend to give up, Sakai quickly said: "I just want to run the izakaya that my parents left behind, and my retirement is approved by Hokage-sama, and the procedures have been completed."

Asma couldn't help but frowned when she heard that, Genma had already mentioned Sakai and grabbed Kai.

Sakai took the opportunity to change the topic, "What do you want to eat? As for fish, I only buy some from the market here, and I haven't had time to buy anything else."

Kay: "Fried shrimp and chicken skewers."

Asma: "Gyudon, grilled sausage, and miso soup."

Hong: "Tamagoyaki and miso soup."

Genma: "Cat rice and edamame."

"No problem, let's wait for a while. By the way, how are Izumoko Tetsu and Ebisu doing?" Sakai asked, while first serving deli edamame and regular miso soup, then chicken and The sausages are skewered on the grill and the meal prep begins.

"Ebisu is currently undergoing special training to become a Chunin, and Izumo and Kotetsu are on duty today." Genma raised his chopsticks, picked up an edamame and threw it into his mouth.

Two large bowls of steaming white rice were prepared, sprinkled with the prepared beef and a large amount of bonito flakes, and cut some seaweed and sesame seeds for decoration, and finally poured soup on the cat rice, simple beef bowl and Cat meal is done.

At this time, turn the grilled skewers and grilled sausages over and brush some sauce. The processed fresh shrimps are wrapped in flour, egg liquid and bread crumbs and fried in a pan. At the same time, start to make tamagoyaki.

He was cooking several dishes at the same time, but all his movements were orderly, obviously he was already very familiar with the work of the izakaya.

This is a pair of ninja hands.

Except for Kai, the others looked at his expression and were basically sure that he really retired.

--Pity.

Hong couldn't help thinking about it.

She and Sakai are in the same period, and because of this, sometimes she even admires Sakai quite a bit.

Graduated at the age of nine, Chunin at the age of 11, and Jonin at the age of 13. Except for Kakashi, who has always been known as a genius, Sakai is the best among his peers.Just like in school, guys who are obviously not outstanding in individual skills and ninjutsu can always become the best group.

It is said that Sakai's ascension to Jonin was due to a confidential mission. Hong did not know the confidential content, but this did not prevent her from agreeing with Sakai.

Hong is very optimistic about Sakai. She always thought that Sakai would continue to move forward, maybe he would succeed Shikaku-sama as the squad leader of the ninja class, but she never thought that all this would come to an abrupt end.

Sakai...he's only 16 years old this year...

The author has something to say:

Still can't find the feel... Red is really super beautiful prpr

Kogoro is the same age as Obito and others, one year older than Kakashi.About how to upgrade Jonin, I will talk later =3=

(Kogoro: Back then, I was once brilliant...

Naruto: I don't believe it, the uncle is obviously not as good as me!

Kogoro: QAQ)

Lu Jiu's idea, please allow me to be a little tricky, I can probably talk about it in the next chapter.

The food in this chapter is very common in izakaya, so I will not talk about it inside or outside the text.Let's mention cat rice a little bit. In fact, it is to look at bonito flakes (bonito flakes, bonito flakes) on rice and drizzle with soy sauce or soup.

Happy New Years Eve everyone~
