Chapter 72
Natsuki didn't really care about whatever was going on between Asuma and Kurenai. He just waved and called out, "Shino, you guys are here too! How's it going?"
Shino quickly walked over to Natsuki's table, nodded at the others, and replied, "So you're having yakiniku too. Things are going well—Kurenai-sensei is a great teacher."
"That's good. Our teacher, Aoba-sensei, is really skilled too..."
The two of them started chatting naturally. After all, they'd been deskmates and close friends for years. No need to be formal.
Aoba glanced over at Natsuki again. Natsuki's profile clearly stated that he had good relationships with several shinobi clans' children. It seemed he really was good at socializing.
A genius who could also make friends easily... Natsuki's future looked bright indeed.
The group quickly finished their yakiniku, and Aoba reminded them one last time of the meeting time and place for tomorrow, then disappeared in a flash.
Seeing it was getting late, Natsuki asked Rone to walk Megumi home while he himself hurried off to the ninja tools shop.
Sure enough, Tenten was already home waiting for him. As soon as she saw Natsuki, she ran into his arms with excitement.
"Mmm! Smells like grilled meat. Looks like your teacher treated you guys too," Tenten said, clearly pleased.
After all, Yakiniku Q wasn't cheap. For a teacher to treat students on the first day of a newly formed squad showed generosity—definitely the sign of a good teacher.
Since her boyfriend had a good teacher, as his girlfriend, she could be at ease.
