Chapter 2: A Fat Friend at the Beginning
Is the knowledge learned in the Ninja School useful? If it is useful, it is useful in exams or some special tasks. But if it is useless, facing those snake players, rice carriers, and dancers, it is really useless.
Regardless of whether she was exhausted or not, Ino was at least taking notes. Some people didn't even make a gesture, such as the two guys behind her. The thin one was sleeping on the table, and the fat brother next to him, who was 1.5 meters tall and weighed 60kg, was eating snacks.
"Crunch, crunch, crunch" the sound of teeth chewing puffed food was endless. The twenty-seven students and one teacher in the classroom seemed to have gotten used to this sound. The fat brother was so happy eating.
Seeing Ino in the front row turning around and staring at him with dead fish eyes, the fat brother hesitated for two seconds, smiled gently, and handed the bag of potato chips in his hand to Ino. After Ino slowly stretched out her hand, he raised a finger very seriously, meaning that you can only have one piece, no more.
The fat brother didn't take the classroom discipline seriously at all. Why was he eating in class? Don't ask. If you ask, it's because of the need for practice. Ino still respects serious and responsible teachers. She moved very lightly and took a quick look in the potato chip bag. Then, she overlapped her left and right thumbs upwards, with the left thumb slightly higher than the right thumb, forming a standard "not" seal.
“Perception!”
The world around her suddenly became clear in her perception. The sounds of people breathing, Iruka's peripheral vision looking at them from a distance, people passing notes, drawing little figures, and picking their noses in the classroom, a lot of information that was usually blocked by the brain all came to her mind at once.
Ino had always had some talent in perception, and as a salesperson she was very sensitive to interpersonal emotions. After traveling through time, the fusion of the two souls further strengthened her ability in this area. She ignored useless information and without much effort used her perception to pick out the largest piece of potato chips. Then, under the astonished gaze of the fat man Choji, she slowly put it into her mouth and chewed it twice.
Although it is said to be the biggest, it is actually not that big. Most people cannot even distinguish the subtle difference. But for a top foodie like the fat man Choji, even if he does not have a strong perception ability, he can still perceive the difference with his rich experience and intuition.
"Ah?! This you." Although he is as fat as a pig, the fat man Akimichi Choji, whose family name is Chou, attaches great importance to his promises. When the biggest piece of potato chips was taken away from him, he felt a little distressed, with a bitter face and a conflicted expression.
"You two are so childish, just like little kids." Nara Shikamaru, whose family name is Deer, commented lazily while lying next to the fat man Choji.
"Hmph, you're so old-fashioned. You're only one day older than me." Ino raised the corners of her mouth slightly, made a victorious expression towards the two of them, and turned back to continue writing her notes.
It has been three months since she traveled through time and space and merged her memories. As a descendant of the famous Ninja Family Alliance Ino-Shika-Chou, if nothing unexpected happens, these two people behind her will be her teammates for a long time in the future.
The tacit understanding between teammates should be cultivated early. Maybe in the future, this tacit understanding will save your life at a critical moment.
She still cares a lot about her own life.
The relationship between the previous Ino and the two behind her was just average. At the age of 12, boys play with boys and girls play with girls. It is difficult for her, a girl, to play with the two boys behind her. They are more familiar with each other as their parents. They greet each other during festivals and nod to each other when they meet at school.
After Ino traveled through time, she consciously changed the status quo. She thought that sales was not done in vain. She didn't need to sell houses, decoration materials and furniture to her friends. Through daily trivial matters, they interacted more and the relationships naturally became familiar.
The three are the heirs of their respective families. The Ino, Deer, and Chou families are clearly separated. Once one family swallows up another family through marriage or other means, the basis of the alliance of the three families will no longer exist. Love between men and women will simply not be possible because the families will not agree. This also makes it convenient for Ino to build relationships with them without any misunderstandings. Now the three of them just have a simple friendship.
Shikamaru has a high IQ and is very cautious, a first-class smart person. Ino doesn't try to please him, and the relationship between them is not too close, just like classmates.
After Ino promised to introduce a beautiful girl to the fat boy Choji, she and Choji became good friends. Facing countless protagonists in the world, she can proudly say that she has a fat best friend from the beginning.
When it comes to dealing with fat guys, especially young fat guys, Ino is very good at it. The trick of eating, drinking and building relationships will never go out of style.
She said, "Let's go eat barbecue after school. It seems that Yakiniku Q is having a 10% discount today."
Fatty Choji's eyes were blazing with fire. He slammed the table hard, "Really? You're treating?"
When it came to treating everyone, Ino was a little embarrassed. She was really short of money. The previous Ino bought clothes and shoes, and didn't leave her with much money. Plus, the fat man was a big eater and could eat twenty plates of barbecue at a time. She was very worried about her wallet, but she had already said it, and she couldn't ignore it.
"Haha, I'll treat you, I'll treat you." After two awkward smiles, while the fat man, Choji, was staring at the delicious barbecue, she covered her mouth and whispered to Shikamaru, "Hey, the money I brought today may not be enough, so you can support me a little when the time comes."
Shikamaru glanced at the fat guy Choji from the corner of his eye: "My pocket money was eaten by this guy."
Ino and Shikamaru looked at each other and sighed at the same time. This was the bad thing about having a fat best friend: he ate too much.
Speaking of money, Shikamaru lost the mood to sleep. The Ino, Shika, and Chou families are all famous families in the ninja world, and now they are the top wealthy families in the village. The family is not poor, but they are young, have little pocket money, and are very poor individually. His best friend's stomach is like a bottomless pit. Every day he is either eating or on the way to eat. Shikamaru's pocket money has been eaten up, and it is rare for him to be serious at this time.
He asked, "We can't carry out the mission, and our pocket money is limited. Do you know any way to make money?"
As a person with no fixed job who was still struggling to find a house three months ago, Ino answered without thinking: "Rent out the idle house?"
After she finished speaking, she was stunned for a moment, and Shikamaru began to think seriously.
“Do you have a vacant house?”
"You have one at home?"
The two looked at each other again and thought, "Oh?" This method seems feasible! They don't have a house, but their family does.
The Hidden Leaf Village experienced three Ninja World Wars. The price of victory was the death of a large number of ninjas. Many of the Ino, Shika and Chou families had their fellow ninjas who died in the war. Many houses had been vacant for many years, so it was not difficult to rent them out.
Now is a peaceful time, and not all residents of the village are ninjas. Civilians, merchants, blacksmiths, and monks all have housing needs, and there is a market for rental.
