Watching the three of them rolling the dice round after round, Uchiha Izumi felt a little numb.
She had seen the tacit interaction between Kabuto and Itachi, as well as the happy interaction between Kabuto and Hanayo, and she was the only one who watched silently.
Fortunately, there were only three of us, so it was done relatively quickly. If it weren't for the time-consuming tasks, it would probably have been finished in ten minutes.
After half an hour of torture, a winner finally emerged and reached the finish line first. That was Huayang.
Huayang was very lucky, and every time he rolled the dice, it was between six and four, so even if he missed a task, he still won.
Just when Quan was about to suggest another try, Dou spoke.
"What do you want to eat? We're at a party today, everyone can mention what they like to eat, and then we can buy it and eat together."
"I want to eat ramen." Huayang said after thinking for a while.
"Dumpling..." Itachi thought about it and felt that he couldn't just save face and suffer, so he said what he really wanted to eat.
"I'll have ramen too," Izumi said.
"In that case, let's eat noodles together later. On the way there, let's buy some dumplings for Itachi and some desserts and snacks. What do you think?" Kabuto thought for a moment and suggested.
He didn't agree with eating dumplings as a staple food, so he came up with this plan.
After all, two people have chosen to eat ramen, and he thinks ramen is pretty good, so let's have three of us. If everyone goes to eat ramen together, they don't have to pack up the food.
"Okay." Itachi nodded. It was enough for him to just eat it. He could still control how much he ate.
"Now..." Quan wanted to play another round of double six. It would be too tragic to die directly. She also wanted to play.
But as soon as Izumi opened her mouth, she found that Itachi and Kabuto were chatting. Itachi's expression was quite serious, as if they were discussing something important, so Izumi swallowed back the words she was about to say.
She originally wanted to say that since it was only half past three, why not they play another round of Sugoroku, but seeing Itachi's serious expression, she was afraid of disturbing him.
"What's going on now?" Hanayo asked when she heard Quan suddenly speak and then stop.
"I want to say that while we still have time, I want to hear you talk about life in the ninja school." Izumi said with a smile.
"Okay." Huayang agreed readily.
At first, because it was just an excuse made up by Quan, she was not prepared to listen carefully, but as she listened, Quan found it very interesting and started to listen carefully.
From Hanayo, Izumi learned about the embarrassing incident when Hanayo and Kabuto first met, and that Kabuto was actually regarded by Hanayo as a "bad student" who did not study seriously.
However, Izumi was also envious of what happened later. For example, when Hanayo helped a classmate who was being bullied, but was at a disadvantage because of the large number of people on the other side, Kabuto suddenly appeared and resolved the crisis.
Or the two of them could sit under a tree on a sunny afternoon, eat lunch together and exchange food.
Finally, the two of them made a pact that when Hanayo also became a ninja, they would carry out missions together.
"Is this the life in ninja school? It's too wonderful." Izumi clasped his hands together, his big eyes sparkling.
At this moment, Uchiha Izumi is very much looking forward to life after entering the ninja school. Hanayo and Kabuto didn't know each other at the beginning, but they were able to create such sparks. Then she and Itachi were friends before entering the ninja school, so they would have taken off directly.
While Izumi was listening to Hanayo's experience and imagining about his future life in the ninja school, Kabuto and Itachi were also thinking about forming hand seals with one hand.
"The essence of hand seals is to concentrate the mind and draw chakra, so if you are proficient enough in this ninjutsu and have considerable ability to change the nature and form, you can try to reduce the number of hand seals.
Since we can reduce the number of seals, or even avoid them altogether, then it should also be possible to seal with one hand." Dou stated his inference.
This method may not be suitable for ordinary people, but for him and Itachi, it is definitely worth a try.
This idea came to Dou when he was holding the gift that Hua Yang had just given him in one hand, so he couldn't put on the forehead protector by himself and needed Hua Yang's help.
At that time, Dou was thinking that if he could make seals with one hand, he could hold the gift in one hand, and then make seals to use a shadow clone, and let the shadow clone help him wear the forehead protector.
If this one-handed seal is used in battle, it will be of great use.
In a close-range fight, you can parry the opponent while taking the opportunity to form seals with one hand and release ninjutsu to catch the opponent off guard.
"You told me this idea before, have you achieved any results now?" Itachi asked.
Dou nodded, kept one hand still, and quickly formed seals with the other.
Peng!
A flash of white smoke passed by, and a clone of Dou appeared in the same place.
"I'm not proficient at it yet. I can only use the most basic clone and transformation techniques." Dou explained.
This is not a physical shadow clone, but one of the three body techniques.
"That's already amazing." Itachi praised.
Then Kabuto talked to Itachi about some key points of making hand seals with one hand.
Later, Itachi also shared with Kabuto some of his insights and experiences during his training.
When the sun was about to set and red clouds appeared in the sky, the four people realized that it was getting late and it was time to go for dinner.
Because they were close to a dessert shop, the four of them went to buy some desserts first.
"Where are we going to eat ramen?" Hanayo asked.
Just now, the four of them were so engrossed in their conversation that they hadn't decided which ramen restaurant to go to.
"Let's go to Ichiraku Ramen. The food there is pretty good and the price is reasonable," Kabuto suggested.
There were a few times when Nagase was too busy and too lazy to cook, so he took Dou to Ichiraku Ramen for a few meals.
Dou felt that the ramen there tasted pretty good. His favorite was the pork miso char siu ramen. The char siu tasted very good, and he couldn't help but add two extra thick slices of char siu every time.
"That one? I heard it's delicious and very well received." Izumi talked about the rumors he had heard about Ichiraku Ramen.
"Well, I've been there several times, and the taste is really good. I like it very much." Dou nodded.
After discussing for a while, the four of them decided to go to Ichiraku Ramen to eat ramen.
When the four of them arrived at Ichiraku Ramen, they found that there were quite a lot of people and they had to queue.
However, all four of them were patient people, and no one thought there was anything wrong. They just queued quietly.
When it was their turn, Dou, who had been here several times before, skillfully ordered his favorite pork miso char siu noodles. The others just ordered randomly based on the menu.
Huayang picked up the noodles with a nibble and blew on them with her mouth. A large amount of white smoke and fragrance floated into Huayang's nose.
When Huayang felt that the noodles might not be so hot anymore, he picked up the noodles and put them into his mouth.
After eating a few bites, Huayang took another sip of the soup. She secretly memorized the name of this restaurant. It tasted really good.
"The ramen here is really delicious." Quan praised.
"Hmm." Itachi nodded indifferently. Although he didn't like it very much, it tasted quite good.
"If you like it, we can come together again when we have time." Dou, who had just finished eating a piece of barbecued pork, said with a smile.
While busy making ramen for the next customer, he heard the comments of Dou and others and smiled.
For someone like him who concentrates on studying ramen, this is probably the best reward.
