Chereads / Ninja Recruitment System / Chapter 39 - Itachi's Surprise

Chapter 39 - Itachi's Surprise

Zhang Miao's plan was successful, and Itachi had an extremely deep impression of him.

Most importantly, Zhang Miao said this in front of his father, Fugaku. This made Itachi feel a sense of worship towards Zhang Miao.

"Too powerful!"

When Zhang Miao heard the system notification, he knew that he had succeeded. And even without the system notification, Itachi's awe told Zhang Miao the answer.

As for Fugaku, Zhang Miao was a little confused. Was it because he was able to embarrass him in front of his son, or he recognized his courage?

Zhang Miao felt that while the possibility was not high, but no matter what, to be able to harvest the Ninja Fragments of this father and son pair at the same time proved that the opening of his game was quite good!

Thinking of this, Zhang Miao immediately went up and hugged Itachi's neck, and then grinned again.

"Hehe, Itachi, from now on, we are friends. It has nothing to do with the Uzumaki and Uchiha. What do you think?"

"This..."

Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Itachi hesitated a little. He quickly looked back at Fugaku and found that the latter was nodding at him. He then nodded heavily at Zhang Miao.

"Un, okay!"

Itachi nodded. The door of the room was opened. Mikoto, who was wearing an apron and holding a plate of vegetables, walked in from the door.

When she saw the scene in the room, she immediately laughed.

"Looks like you guys got along well!"

Hearing Mikoto, Itachi quickly stood up and took the food from his mother. He asked, "Mother, where's brother?"

For Itachi, taking care of his brother every day after school has become one of his "compulsory homework", so after hearing his words, Mikoto laughed again.

"Your brother is already asleep, you can play with Ryunosuke today!"

At this point, Mikoto looked at Zhang Miao.

"Oh right Ryunosuke, where is the friend who came with you just now?"

"Haha!" Hearing her words, Zhang Miao smiled and waved at her, "Don't worry about him. I think he has already gone to the training ground with Guy!"

"Oh, he is really a hardworking person. In that case, let's eat first!"

With that, Mikoto quickly put the food on the table and filled Zhang Miao's bowl with a lot of rice.

Zhang Miao did not hesitate. After receiving the meal, he first thanked Mikoto and then clapped his hands.

"Itadakimasu!"

Mikoto was very good at cooking. The meals she made could be said to be delicious, and Zhang Miao's appetite had always been good, so he naturally ate very quickly.

In less than half an hour, most of the food had entered his stomach, which made Fugaku and Itachi stunned.

On the contrary, Mikoto wasn't surprised at all, she even showed a happy smile on her face.

"In the past, Kushina also had a big appetite. Maybe the people of the Uzumaki clan are like this. Ryunosuke, do you need another bowl?"

"Yes!"

Hearing Mikoto's words, Zhang Miao, who never knew how to be polite, immediately handed over the bowl in his hand.

"Seconds, please!"

Itachi: "..."

Fugaku: "..."

"Don't you feel bloated after eating so much?"

In fact, Zhang Miao really did not feel bloated, because with the help of the system, all the food Zhang Miao had eaten had been digested, so how could he feel bloated?

Zhang Miao's motto was - "don't ask me how much I can eat".

"Only you ask how much you can have!"

But when Zhang Miao stood up after eating, Itachi frowned doubtfully.

"Ryunosuke, aren't you a little taller than before?"

At this point, Itachi stretched out his thumb and index finger, and compared it to a length of about one centimeter.

"You seem to have grown much taller!"

Zhang Miao, "..."

What an amazing insight!

Zhang Miao knew that if he ate a big and nutritious meal, his height and weight would increase.

The reason why such a situation occurred was because under the powerful auxiliary digestive function of the system, everything that was eaten into Zhang Miao's mouth was quickly digested!

And the nutrition brought by this food, except for the energy that Zhang Miao needed every day, was used to strengthen his bones and muscles.

This was the reason why Zhang Miao grew particularly fast. He was not even a year old, but he already looked like a three-year-old child.

But Zhang Miao did not tell anyone about this secret. Even Fukuro, who got along with Zhang Miao every day, did not notice this. It was only after a period of time that he suddenly found that Zhang Miao seemed to have grown up a lot.

But Itachi noticed it in their first meeting!

Fugaku did not notice it at first, but after hearing what Itachi said, he immediately looked at Zhang Miao carefully and frowned.

"He seems to have grown taller, and his body looks a bit stronger!"

Seeing the father and son talking and almost exposing their secrets, Zhang Miao hurriedly laughed.

"Haha, is that so? Then it proves that Auntie Mikoto is doing well. Next time when I come again to eat a few more meals, maybe I can be as tall as Uncle Fugaku!"

Zhang Miao knew that the more he explained, the more suspicious it was. It was better to follow the other person's words and appear more natural.

As expected, just as Zhang Miao finished speaking, Mikoto laughed.

"Hehe... Ryunosuke really knows how to praise, then you should come often in the future. Auntie will cook delicious food for you every day, so that you can grow as tall as your Uncle Fugaku as soon as possible!"

"Un! Thank you Auntie Mikoto!"

Looking at the delighted Mikoto, Zhang Miao immediately nodded, but then he seemed to think of something and looked worriedly at Fugaku.

"But... Will Uncle Fugaku welcome me?"

Fugaku: "..."

"Damn, this kid is pretending again!"

Although they hadn't known each other for a long time, Fugaku had already figured out Zhang Miao's character. Seeing that this kid was pretending again, Fugaku originally didn't want to talk to him, but looking at Mikoto's pleading face, he could only nod with a calm face.

"Of course!"

Seeing Fugaku nod his head, Mikoto breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Zhang Miao again.

"Ryunosuke, Uncle Fugaku has already agreed. You will come here often from now on, understand?"

Zhang Miao naturally followed such a good advice. As soon as Mikoto finished speaking, he nodded obediently.

"Okay, thank you Aunty Mikoto! I understand. I will come here often in the future!"

When he said the word "often", Zhang Miao even emphasized his tone. Mikoto did not think too much about it, but the corner of Fugaku's mouth twitched unnaturally.

Zhang Miao would not pay attention to what Fugaku was thinking. After successfully changing the topic, he grabbed Itachi's hand and ran out.

"Itachi, let's go out and play!"

"Okay!"

Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Itachi instinctively agreed and was pulled out of the house to the courtyard outside.

Standing in the courtyard, Itachi immediately frowned in distress.

"Should we play ninjas?"

In fact, Itachi did not like to play ninjas at all, because he had experienced a real war back when Fugaku took him along to the Third War.

Therefore, for him, playing ninjas were too childish, but in order to get along well with Zhang Miao, he decided to endure.

However, what he did not expect was that after hearing his suggestion, Zhang Miao shook his head and rolled up his sleeves.

"Playing ninjas are not suitable for us. Since you have been to the Academy, you should have no problem with basic taijutsu. Come, let's fight!"

"Eh?"

Hearing Zhang Miao's words, Itachi was stunned.
