Chapter 111: Team Gai vs. Ino-Shika-Cho
"Yo, Hikari! Long time no see!"
Around eleven in the morning, Maito Gai strutted toward Kamizuki Hikari with his signature over-the-top stride.
"Yeah, long time..." Hikari replied half-heartedly. From yesterday afternoon until now, barely twenty-four hours had passed. He had no idea how Gai could call that a "long time".
Unless...
Does he mean that "a day apart feels like three autumns"?
If that was the case, Hikari couldn’t help but take two cautious steps back.
A handsome guy like Gai should be left for someone like Kakashi—his destined rival, after all. Hikari had no intention of walking down that forbidden path.
As a guy with perfectly normal tastes, he’d much rather spend the rest of his life with one (or several) beautiful kunoichi by his side.
"Hikari, seeing you so lazy today, I’ve decided—we’re going to make a bet today!" Gai declared boldly, completely forgetting whatever script he’d prepared beforehand.
"And?" Hikari dug a pinky finger into his ear. "If it’s a match between the two of us, then you’d win. No argument there."
Gai shook his head. "You always say that, but we’ve never actually fought, so I can’t be sure I’d win. But today, I don’t want to fight you — I want my three precious students to fight your three precious students! What do you say?"
