Ino Yamanaka agreed with a smile, whereas Hinata, who was also present, did not know how to respond but did not even deny, so her silence was interpreted as a yes.
Where Sakura turned her head to look at Sasuke, who appeared to be calm about it and did not respond, Ino said that she did not wish to join, looking at her shaking head.
Shikamaru was dragged by Ino, who dragged Choji up for this group.
While Naruto believed that this group of people would become some of the best friends in the world, he was also looking forward to Sasuke joining him.
He was one of the last remaining Uchiha and was curious about Sasuke and his clan's details, especially the bloodline limit that he had read about.
[Sharingan.]
"How about it, Sasuke?" "Join us too." Naruto patted Sasuke's shoulder, who looked quite aloof as he turned to look at Naruto and was about to shake his head.
Naruto said, "I know a method that was traditionally used in old times to awaken your bloodline. I had learned about a small detail about your bloodline limit."
Sasuke seemed surprised as he turned to face Naruto, who had a small smile on his face. This was because Naruto had previously opened the Hinata gift pack and found three gifts inside.
Whereas one of it was a recipe for bloodline strengthening syrup, he was confident that he could at least afford half the cost of it even though he lacked the necessary herbs and funds to purchase them.
"Okay! I will come then." Sasuke initially thought about it as he observed Naruto and considered how clever the latter had been playing today, placing some trust in his senses.
"Then I hope Sakura-San can also join us now." Naruto grinned as he called Sakura, who turned to look at him in surprise. Sasuke grinned bitterly as he thought about how Naruto had seen through that and had forced everyone to join.
When Iruka sensei entered the classroom, only Sasuke was thinking about what Naruto had secretly whispered to him.
The other students had all promised to leave after the lesson was over.
Although Shikamaru also wanted to join in, Naruto wanted to hide it for the time being and promised that he would tell him all about it at a later date.
So, Shikamaru agreed with him for the time being and did not pester Naruto about it.
Shikamaru was confident that Naruto would inform him as needed because of the character traits that define him.
As a result, after the study session was over, Ino, Shikamaru, Sasuke, Hinata, Sakura, Naruto, and others all left together.
As Ino asked Naruto, Naruto stopped and apologized before using transformation to change his appearance, which drew everyone's attention.
"There's no need for you to transform in that way; what are you doing?" Hinata was the only one of them to remain silent, as she knew why Naruto had done it and felt bad about it.
On the other hand, Sakura and the others also laughed.
"I'm sorry, but I'm not welcome in most of the shop, and I don't want to cause trouble for you guys as well." Naruto spoke in a low tone, as he remembered how his original host used to be glared at and despised by others.
Whereas the others fell silent when they heard Naruto's reasoning.
Ino felt a little guilty as she directly apologized to Naruto. "Naruto-kun, I am sorry; I didn't mean to bring that thing out."
Naruto, who was not even bothered by it, laughed and shook his head, given he did not have much to say about it.
Additionally, he was accustomed to things of that nature from both his previous life and the life he led in this one.
"What are you saying, this is something to which I am already accustomed. Therefore, none of you should be concerned and consider it to be a part of my training."
With that, Naruto led the group to the barbecue because Choji insisted on it and because Naruto was a little intimidated by the large man's appetite.
The amount that guy would consume from his money was unknown to him.
When Shikamaru smiled and said he'd help him out with money, he took it as an apology for previously treating him indifferently.
Making Shikamaru appear as a lifesaver in such a situation.
They all held the barbeque while Naruto sat beside Sasuke, who was also waiting for Naruto to say something about what he had said, so he waited for him to speak up.
He was doing it in such secrecy, though he was unsure of why.
"I wanted to talk but had to keep it a little secret for some reason; I am always trailed by a few Anbu, I believe, so this crowded place was the best I could have asked for."
When Naruto spoke in silence, Sasuke was taken aback because he had a brief, similar feeling but had no idea who was following them.
Naruto discussed various herbs, as well as how to boil them into a drink and consume it for three days. He also asked Sasuke to share some with him because that way both of them would take them together and Sasuke would not suspect him of poisoning him.
Furthermore, both of them would face the same threat, laying the groundwork for them to begin trusting each other as partners in their future plans.
Given, Naruto made a promise with Kurama; hence, he was thinking of how to deal with a sharingan user, and he made a simple plan to have a sharingan user by his side.
Although Naruto did not believe that such a powerful clan would not have more than one survivor of their clan, Sasuke, who was rumored to be the last member of the Uchiha, was the best option.
So, having Sasuke by his side will help him a lot in the future.
Sasuke gave Naruto a deep look and smiled, as he agreed to pay for the herbs and the recipe was from Naruto, so both of them will share an equal share of the outcome.
He was eager to return and discover what kind of medicine it would produce, but before doing so, he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to relax and have fun with the others.
As the day progressed, the party came to an end, and Naruto smiled bitterly as he looked at the bill, which was 1500 ryo, despite the fact that Shikamaru paid for half of it and others shared some of it for Naruto's sake.
