Undercurrent of Konoha

There were only cabbage and noodles left in the bowl, and Akimichi Choji's eating speed gradually slowed down.

The tasteless cabbage makes you feel full after eating it.

The ramen noodles were so full of soup that they almost clumped in the bowl. Each mouthful of noodles required two or three times more effort and time than usual.

The most terrible thing is that my mouth, which has just become accustomed to large slices of barbecued pork and soft-boiled poached eggs, has a natural repulsion towards ramen and cabbage...

The 15 kilograms of ramen, after soaking up the soup, definitely exceeds 20 kilograms. Moreover, without the unique lubrication of the barbecued pork, the texture of the ramen becomes extremely dry and rough.

"Uncle Yile, bring me a glass of water..."

Choji frowned and drank a large glass of ice water in one gulp, which refreshed his mouth that was so full of food that it was difficult to swallow.

Hinata Hinata was still taking his time, sipping ramen, tasting barbecued pork, and eating a few mouthfuls of cabbage from time to time to relieve his tiredness.

Choji's eating speed dropped off a cliff, while Hinata's speed did not slow down, but continued to increase.

Like a marathon long-distance run, Hinata has completed the initial warm-up and has fully entered the rhythm of the game.

The food in the big bowl was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and gradually only the bottom of the bowl was left. Hinata even launched a sprint at the last moment!

After drinking the last mouthful of noodle soup and putting the last bit of cabbage into her mouth, a faint smile appeared on Hinata's fair face.

"I'm so full...thank you for the hospitality..."

In addition to the honest smile on Uncle Yile's face, there is also a strong sense of accomplishment after being recognized and appreciated.

"Thank you, Ms. Hinata... I'll give it to you... I'm very grateful!"

Uncle Yile's narrowed eyes actually opened slightly, and he shed tears of excitement.

"It took 52 minutes and 47 seconds, which is an amazing record!"

Heiji was stunned to watch. Miss Hinata was fortunately born into the Hyuga clan with a strong family background. If she were a child from an ordinary family, how could she afford to raise one...

"I give up……"

After Akimichi Choji drank 5 large glasses of ice water, he touched his belly that was so round that it almost burst, and declared that the challenge had failed.

In the next period of time, Choji felt that he would never eat ramen again.

(In fact, the next day, Choji Akimichi came to Ichiraku Ramen again, chose the correct way to eat, and completed the challenge. Unfortunately, it took 57 minutes and 42 seconds, which was nearly slower than Hinata Hinata’s time. 5 minutes.)

After coming out of Ichiraku Ramen, Hyuga Hinata and Heiji walked side by side.

"Are Heiji-kun and Naruto-kun good friends..."

Hinata was silent for a long time, and then said the first sentence softly.

Heiji nodded: "Naruto-kun and I have similar life experiences, and we are both alone. On weekdays, he is the only one who is willing to chat with me more... By the way, today Ichiraku Ramen holds the first Big Eater Competition, Naruto Why didn't you participate? How could he be willing to miss this kind of thing..."

"The seventh team went out to perform an escort mission today, and the client was an alcoholic uncle... The destination seemed to be a bridge that had not been completed for many years..."

Hinata's understanding of the mission carried out by Naruto shows that she has been secretly paying attention to Naruto.

"Based on the distance, in two or three days at most...Naruto-kun will be back..."

Hinata murmured to herself, and suddenly found Heiji staring at her from the side, as if she had completely seen through her feelings for Uzumaki Naruto.

"Heiji-kun... don't get me wrong... I don't... mean that to Naruto-kun..."

Heiji stretched and yawned as if nothing had happened.

"It's too late, we should go home and rest..."

The night is as quiet as water.

Heiji sat cross-legged on the bed, using his mind to control the chakra in the meridians throughout his body, gathering it in different parts of his body.

When the chakra in the whole body is concentrated to one point, especially in the fingertips, Heiji can easily pierce a one centimeter thick steel plate with his fingers.

The refrigerator at home was completely scrapped and had no cooling function at all, and it had become a hornet's nest.

This refrigerator cost 100 taels per day and was bought from a garbage recycling station. It was intended to be used as a glove cabinet.

After buying it, it has been sitting there unused.

There is not even a single unnecessary thing in Heiji's home...it can be said that the house is bare.

Now, this refrigerator finally came into play and became a ninja tool for Heiji to practice his taijutsu.

Since eating that chakra fruit, the rate of chakra production in Heiji's meridians has been nearly twice as fast as before.

And the effect of that "spiritual ring" is particularly obvious. Heiji now only needs 6 hours of sleep a day, which is enough to make up for the energy deficit caused by a day's work.

Before, Heiji always needed to rest for more than 10 hours every day.

Otherwise, you will feel languid all day long and will not be able to cheer up for anything.

After finishing the day's tasks, Heiji spent all his time except sleeping, cultivating chakra and practicing various Taijutsu.

Squat 1000 times.

1000 push-ups with one hand.

One-handed pull-ups 1000 times.

Run 10000 meters with your legs high.

This has become the minimum standard for Heiji to practice Taijutsu every day.

From time to time, he would make a temporary addition on a whim.

For example, start from where you are, run at full speed to the Hokage Rock, and then turn back...

Heiji's taijutsu training relied entirely on chakra and did not rely on muscle power.

Because he was born weak, Heiji's physical strength was not even as good as that of a seven or eight-year-old child, and he could not withstand the torture at all.

Therefore, no matter how he practiced the devilish physical skills, he still looked soft and weak, without growing a single bulging muscle at all.

"Good morning... Heiji-kun... have you seen Naruto-kun... This is already the third day..."

"Sorry, I didn't see him..."

"Heiji-kun... This is already the fourth day... Do you have any news from Naruto-kun..."

"Hinata-chan...don't worry...Naruto-kun will be fine."

Heiji naturally knew that Uzumaki Naruto's mission would be passed without any danger and would become the first valuable combat asset in his life.

"Heiji-kun... this is already the fifth day... I have no appetite at all recently... I only ate 5 kilograms of my favorite fried meatballs last night..."

Heiji's facial expression twitched obviously: "5 pounds...Hinata-chan's appetite is really...a lot worse."

Now, Heiji has almost become Hinata Hinata's male best friend who talks about everything.

Hinata was usually very shy in front of unfamiliar people, but in front of Heiji, a good best friend, she was like a lively bird, chirping, and she was completely different.

A week has passed and there is still no news from Naruto.

Heiji was slightly worried.
