Chapter 183
"Look at this, Lee's such a lightweight. He's already full after just a few bites." Choji chomped down on his skewered grilled meat, pointing at Lee, whose belly now looked like a bloated balloon.
"So you think you're brave?" Hyuga Chinano, who had been quietly slurping ramen, turned around and stared at Choji. This guy looked like competition.
"Damn right I'm brave." Choji patted his belly with a grin. Everyone from the Akimichi clan could put food away like champs—they feared no one at the dinner table.
"I'd love to see that." Chinano elegantly wiped her mouth after draining her ramen bowl.
Beside her, Hinata and Hanabi set their bowls down and gave Choji a fixed stare.
In that moment, Choji felt like he'd just awakened three wild beasts. He sighed—there was no turning back now.
Not far from the chaos, Aburame Hatsuizumi chuckled as if she'd found another unlucky soul. She placed her tiny three-tailed summon beside Shino, clearly wanting him to study it.
Just as Shino reached out to feel the creature's chakra, a miniature Bijūdama (Tailed Beast Ball) condensed in its mouth—and pop!—it burst.
It didn't have much chakra, so all it managed was giving Shino an afro. A new hairstyle wasn't so bad, honestly.
Karin now followed Zixu everywhere like a loyal puppy. She was self-aware enough to know this was downtime. Zixu wouldn't hold it against her if she slacked a bit—but if only she'd stop clinging to his waist like a koala.
Rosinante, Tsunade, and Jiraiya were locked in a gambling match again. Judging from the dark lines on Rosinante's face, he'd definitely lost. The fat black snake coiled beside them had given up and closed its eyes, pretending to be a scarf.
