Naruto: Five Lives, Five Times the Excitement

Chapter 71 Konoha's Gourmet Team

Generally speaking, the number of Jonin is limited, so many squad leaders are actually Chunin.

Kyosuke becoming the captain isn't a problem, except for his young age.

Kyosuke had only one question: "Where's Kakashi? Why isn't he the captain? I want to switch places with him!"

Following Minato Namikaze is so great; it's like an inexhaustible treasure trove where you can learn countless ninjutsu.

Seeing Kyosuke's unconvinced and unhappy expression, Namikaze smiled gently.

"Kyosuke, I know you have a responsible and bright heart, and you will definitely become an excellent captain. Kakashi is a bit stubborn and obsessive now because of his father's situation, and I'm worried about him."

Kyosuke didn't hide anything, his eyes sincere as he spoke his heart: "Teacher, I want to learn from you. You are the best ninja I have ever seen, and I can learn a lot from you."

The most beautiful words in the world are the most heartfelt words.

Looking into Kyosuke's eyes, Minato sensed Kyosuke's sincerity and was deeply moved. He then took out a kunai, handed it to Kyosuke, and gave him a bright, sunny smile.

"Kyosuke, you will always be my disciple."

Such a good teacher, I cannot allow you to die!

Kyosuke took the kunai with both hands, looked at the Flying Thunder God Technique formula on it, and felt a lump in his throat.

I'm a time traveler, having lived two lives, yet I still can't be heartless!

Shame!

Moved, Kyosuke became somewhat impulsive and started speaking without thinking.

"Teacher, I'm sorry. Actually, I've been lying to you all along. I'm your wife's spy, and I've been monitoring you. But don't worry, I didn't tell you about the things you did before, the time before that, and the time before that."

Minato Namikaze's smile vanished instantly, his facial muscles twitching stiffly.

Hey! Get your facts straight! What do you mean by "last time"? I didn't do anything!

Seeing the veins throbbing on Kushina's forehead, Kyosuke put away his kunai with satisfaction and silently left, leaving the two passionate lovers alone.

How dare you melt my heart, Minato Namikaze! You'll pay the price!

"Hehehe, Kushina, I have something to attend to, so I'll be leaving now."

"Wait, let's clarify what happened last time!"

"That's Kyosuke talking nonsense. I didn't do anything."

"Who is that woman you were shopping with, chatting and laughing with?"

Hearing the sweet words behind him, Kyosuke smiled happily and went home to check the team member information that Minato Namikaze had given him.

"Sarutobi Asuma and Kato Shizune, two familiar faces."

Kyosuke was familiar with these two guys, so he only glanced at their information.

The third person is quite remarkable: Kosuke, Konoha's perennial genin.

The information shows that Kosuke is very strong, skilled in swordsmanship and water-style ninjutsu, and has made outstanding contributions to Konoha. However, due to a command error that resulted in the death of his comrades, he vowed to remain a genin forever.

Looking at the kind-looking middle-aged man in the photo, Kyosuke began to make malicious assumptions.

Why send such a strong genin? Is it to protect Asuma, the crown prince?

That night, in my dream, it was the time for banter before the meeting ended.

"Back then, Kurenai was my goddess. Kyosuke, give Asuma a good beating, make sure he becomes a hero of Konoha."

After reminiscing about the past, Oniichiro made a very down-to-earth suggestion.

Kyosuke scoffed: "Don't forget, we were one person in our past life. Do you think I don't know how many goddesses you have? Stop pretending to be so affectionate!"

Ooka Shin asked curiously, "Isn't Shizune Tsunade's disciple? Why didn't she run away with Tsunade?"

Kyosuke wasn't sure either, and said sourly, "Probably not. It doesn't matter. Sensuke was able to wreak havoc in the war and interfere in the Shinobi World War. Who knows what the future holds for these people?"

Chisuke laughed triumphantly: "How about that? I'm famous now! Let me tell you, all day long, the Konoha ninjas held their ground at their camp, not daring to attack. If it weren't for their fear of Orochimaru, I would have crushed them long ago!"

Kyosuke, annoyed by Chisuke's arrogance, said, "I'm still growing and need to get enough sleep. I'm leaving now!"

The group parted ways amidst laughter and chatter.

The next morning, Kyosuke, unusually, bought a breakfast and ate it as he walked toward Training Ground No. 2.

"The Hokage is really something, setting the team meet-and-greet date so early, making me spend money on food."

When Kyosuke arrived at the training ground, he saw that his three teammates were already there and waiting for him.

Kyosuke appeared, and the three looked at him. Kyosuke took out the last meat bun, immediately stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it continuously in front of the three of them.

"Hey, we've been waiting here since early morning, and you're so leisurely eating steamed buns without even bringing us some! That's too much!"

Asuma wasn't afraid of Kyosuke, the captain, and immediately expressed his dissatisfaction when he saw Kyosuke's terrible attitude.

Last night, when his father told him that the captain was Kyosuke, Asuma almost defected on the spot.

Asuma didn't hate Kyosuke, but he felt uncomfortable that they had become superiors and subordinates since they were once classmates.

Kyosuke ignored Asuma's anger and continued to chew his food slowly.

The meat bun was quite big, and I had stuffed it in so quickly that my mouth was bulging, and I couldn't swallow it right away.

Seeing Kyosuke's cheeks puffed out like a toad, Shizune smiled and said, "Kyosuke, we're not going to take it from you. Why are you eating so fast? If you can't swallow it, just spit it out. Don't choke."

Asuma snorted and mocked Kyosuke.

"He's always been like this, very stingy. Maybe these buns were bought by someone else."

As Kosuke watched the three boys and girls bickering, he recalled all the things that had happened in the past, and happily took out the water bottle, opened the spout, and handed it to Kyosuke.

"Have some water."

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh.

After drinking water and swallowing the steamed bun, Kyosuke patted his stomach, let out a happy burp, and then began to speak.

"As per procedure, let's introduce ourselves first. My name is Uesugi Kyosuke, your captain. What I like is having someone treat me to meat for free; what I dislike is having to pay for my own meals."

At this point, Kyosuke looked at Asuma seriously.

"Besides, this is the first time I've ever paid for breakfast, don't try to smear my reputation!"

Asuma was so angry at Kyosuke's shamelessness that he almost laughed: "You never spent money on breakfast before, and now you're spending money on it for the first time. What are you so proud of?!"

Shizune smiled gently and continued, "My name is Shizune. I like to eat rice but hate pork. I enjoy reading and visiting cultural sites. Also, I am quite skilled in medical ninjutsu, and I will do my best to heal everyone's injuries."

I always feel like you're cursing us to get hurt.

Kyosuke and Asuma were speechless after hearing the last sentence.

"Don't you like pork? We can share a table next time we eat! I'll give you the rice, and you give me the pork. It's a win-win situation!"

Kyosuke's eyes lit up as he discovered a new source of meat.

Ha ha ha.

Silently, she gave a polite but awkward smile, unsure how to respond.

Kosuke spoke up at the opportune moment.

"My name is Kosuke, a genin of Konoha. My hobby is cooking delicious game. I hope you will like it."

Kyosuke was overjoyed upon hearing this and paced back and forth excitedly.

"Our team is perfect! Uncle Kosuke cooks, I eat the meat, Shizune eats the rice, and Asuma pays for the ingredients. It's perfect! The Hokage is brilliant!"

Kyosuke waved his hand, full of vigor, and shouted out an amazing slogan.

"The Konoha Culinary Dream Team! Officially Established!"
