Hearing Reina's question, Seii replied almost instinctively, "Yup, I'm free. What's up?"
Reina smiled and said, "It's boring to stroll the streets aimlessly. Since we have a couple of hours of free ti, why don't we visit Yakiniku Q? Everyone knows that the barbecue there is amazing."
Hmm? That didn't sound bad. Seii thought.
He had been grinding nonstop for the last few days. He even encountered a spy while practicing the Flying Thunder God Technique in the forest behind the Hokage Rock.
This world really had no proper source of entertainnt. Even kids were mostly playing ninja gas. Although ninja gas had the word "gas" in it, it was basically just kids roleplaying and fighting each other with wooden sticks.
He thought several tis about plagiarizing…cough cough…he ant borrowing a few board gas from his past life.
But thinking about all the hassles he would have to go through to create and spread them, he gave up even before starting.
If he had so much free ti, wasn't it better to grind a little more?
This was the alternate Narutoverse, after all.
Who could say that so horned alien bastard, such as Otsutsuki Isshiki, wouldn't show up before the Boruto era for fun?
No, no, that would be truly tragic.
It was better to train harder, grind the nature affinities to their peaks, and combine them with the Yin and Yang affinity chakra to consolidate Six Paths-level chakra as soon as possible.
Preferably, before the Fourth Great Ninja War occurred. Still, with so many changes, he didn't think sothing like the Fourth Great Ninja War would happen the way it did in the original ani.
But that didn't an slacking off was fine.
Trouble always cos knocking without any warning. He should still maintain constant vigilance, since the danger level of this world was several tis higher than the original Narutoverse.
Oh no, his thoughts got sidetracked again!
Anyway, he should relax and unwind every once in a while.
Even if there were no sources of entertainnt, there was one thing he truly liked about the Shinobi continent.
And that was its diverse range of foods and specialty dishes.
The cooking techniques, the premium chakra beast ingredients, and the rich spices…Slurrp!
Absolutely mouth-watering!
Since he had ti, it was okay to indulge in BBQ for a bit.
But before that…
"The barbecue of the Yakiniku Q is indeed amazing." Seii paused for a bit before looking at Reina with a sharp gaze. "But since you are inviting , you will pay the bills for our food, right?"
Reina's eyebrows twitched, but she still replied with a smile, "Seii, are you going to make a lady pay?"
What lady? You are just an eleven-year-old brat who hasn't even entered her teens yet.
Although my young body and its hormones may indeed make react to young girls of my age, my brain is still completely calm, constantly sending an "FBI, open up!" alert.
Your smile may make my heart skip a beat, but I won't fall for your tricks.
Seii retorted in his mind.
Then, he coolly replied, "It doesn't matter. We, modern ninjas, should adhere to the principle of gender equality. Let's not stick to those outdated customs of the nobles, samurai, and the old ninjas from the era of ancestors."
"Anyway, you just want to mooch off and bleed my pockets dry, don't you?"
Reina looked at Seii while narrowing her eyes. She tilted her face before saying, "Seii, if you keep acting like that, you will die single, you know?"
That comnt imdiately caused several imaginary black lines to appear in Seii's forehead, and his face turned stiff.
Why?
Because it reminded him of his barren, girlfriend-less life in his previous world.
He wasn't a particularly bright student during his academic days. He was a hardworking boy with average academic talent.
To compensate for his diocre academic talent, get a good job, and live a fulfilling life, he had no choice but to grind hard for hours every day during his student years.
He studied like crazy.
And naturally, as a result of his hard work, he managed to rank within the top ten during his high school days, aced the unified national exam, and successfully enrolled in a prestigious university.
However, such grinding did have a few drawbacks.
For example, he never had a chance or ti to date any girl during his student years.
He thought he could find love after getting a good job. But reality was harsh.
Those damn capitalists made him work overti, giving him no ti or energy to date.
What? You said he could have set up a date with a girl on Sundays?
Then, my friend, you are underestimating the burden of overwhelming exhaustion a normal person faces after working non-stop for six days a week, and after working overti at that.
On Sundays, he would just sleep till noon.
Perhaps things could have been better once he got a promotion. Then, he could also taste the joy of slacking off a little while ordering the co-workers around.
But he died before that.
In the end, his entire life ended up loveless and romanceless.
He worked like a mule for nothing. He should have changed companies when he had a chance. But it was too late to regret.
And before he knew it, he transmigrated.
Just thinking about his tragic past life sent shivers down his spine.
Fortunately, in this life, he was born handso. Here, powerful people were admired.
Even if he spent 300 days a year on missions, in the remaining 65 days, he could easily find enough ti to pursue a strong and beautiful kunoichi and date her.
Thinking of that, Seii told Reina with a smirk, "I will be single for life? Heh!"
"I say, Reina, just look at my face. Do you think I will have a tough ti finding a wife?"
"If anyone has to worry about staying single, it's you. With your sadistic nature and violent tendencies, I…"
Before he could even finish his words, he suddenly felt his sixth sense blaring alarms of danger loudly, forcing him to stop speaking imdiately.
He felt an intense chill down his spine.
The surrounding air temperature seed to have beco colder by a few degrees.
Seii chanically turned his head toward Reina, only to see her staring at him with her crimson, glowing Sharingan that radiated waves of Yin Release chakra.
Fuck! Seii cursed in his mind.
anwhile, Reina flashed a smile so sweet that it almost hurt his eyes. "Go on, Seii. Finish saying what you started."
I really ssed up! Seii scread inwardly.
Although it was true that he wasn't afraid to face her, engaging in mortal combat with her that would lead to mutual destruction wasn't ideal either.
Anyway, he had to defuse the situation first.
"Ahem…never mind that." Seii continued. "Let's go to the Yakiniku Q first. It's my treat."
I can always make you pay for the next ti. Seii lampooned inwardly.
Reina looked at Seii for a few good seconds before retracting her Sharingan.
Then, she grabbed his hand and activated the Body Flicker Technique to arrive in front of the restaurant as soon as possible.
In the end, Reina finished off 28 plates of premium cut of chakra beast at alone, surprising even the restaurant staff, considering most people would feel full right after finishing their third plate of at.
Even when Reina ca to the restaurant alone, she would only eat 5-8 plates of at in one sitting.
But Seii wasn't surprised at all.
Because he knew Reina's secret. Since it was Seii who was paying today, Reina fully unleashed her gluttonous side.
"This girl's appetite is even bigger than Hinata's."
