Things for young people are really complicated. With Sakumo's eyes, he could naturally see some ambiguous relationships between Shiraishi and the three of them, and he sighed helplessly in his heart.

Then the four of them entered the barbecue restaurant not far away.

This BBQ restaurant is the old place where Sakumo's team celebrated when they were formed.

Sakumo was deeply impressed by this.

Because of a meal, he was paid for an A-level mission.

"Eat less. Eating too much is bad for your stomach."

Before ordering, Sakumo said seriously.

For the sake of the health of the three of them, they are definitely not worried about their own wallets.

He, Konoha White Fang, is also a famous Jonin in the village.

Just a few hundred thousand taels...

It's better to be cautious.

"But the three of us haven't eaten a grain of rice during the day in order to prepare for tonight's big meal."

Ayane looked at Sakumo with innocent eyes.

"Is this the size of Konoha White Fang (laughing)? It's really disappointing."

The smile on Liuli's face was very contemptuous.

"I can't help it, it's Konoha White Fang after all (laughs)."

Shiraishi also followed behind to fan the flames.

I have been hungry all day, so I must eat a lot tonight.

Sakumo couldn't laugh or cry. Except for Shiraishi, the other two of these guys were not short of this little money. Why must they have trouble with his wallet?

I shouldn't have offended them during my usual missions, but rather take good care of them, right?

"Send all of these up."

After everyone had chosen what they wanted to eat, Shiraishi called a waiter and asked him to go over and prepare it.

When the waiter saw the checked ingredients and quantities on the order... he was worried whether they could finish the whole table.

But when he saw Ayane, a very familiar little girl, he smiled knowingly.

Not only are the ingredients selected the most expensive and best, but the portions are also very large. It can be said that they are a big customer of this barbecue restaurant.

——Two hours later.

Everyone had eaten and drank enough. When they were paying, Sakumo looked at the huge number on the bill and his eyes turned slightly white, showing a look of despair.

Although it wouldn't bankrupt him, it was just a barbecue, which still made him feel very distressed.

But if this kind of thing happens a few times every year, it will only be a matter of time before he, the captain, goes bankrupt.

"Thanks for the hospitality, Sakumo-sensei."

Looking at the satisfied expressions on the three people's faces, especially Ayane, she was the one who enjoyed the meal the most.

"You three should also think about my wallet."

"But among our team, you are the only jounin, Sakumo-sensei."

"After all, he is the most powerful jonin-sama."

"That's right, a qualified Jonin is one who can consider his teammates in the team. Thinking about it this way, he is worthy of Konoha White Fang."

Seeing the three of them praising him one by one, Sakumo got even more headache.

Obviously, I called him Konoha White Fang before (laughing), and he is small in stature.

The speed of face change is too fast.

After joking for a while, Sakumo took Kakashi to play somewhere else, and Shiraishi and the other three didn't bother them.

It was about twelve o'clock, which was very late.

A thick layer of snow has accumulated on the road.

The festival also changed from lively to deserted, and many shops began to close.

"This year's festival is a bit more enjoyable than before. After all, I always feel a little bit reluctant to participate in the festival with my clan members. It would be great if this happens every year in the future."

Ayane put her hands behind her back, lowered her head and carefully stepped on the snow step by step. Suddenly she raised her face and smiled at Shiraishi and Liuli.

"Of course we can do this every year. We are partners in the same team."

Shiraishi answered this way.

"Yes. Speaking of which, I really like this year's gift, so I'd like to thank you too, Shiraishi-kun..."

"ah?"

When Ayane suddenly mentioned this matter, Shiraishi knew that things were getting into trouble and was about to use an excuse to change the subject.

A piece of softness touched Shiraishi's cheek, and Ayane's fair and delicate side was in front of him, making him freeze in place for an instant.

Liuli was also stunned and forgot her movements.

"Although it's not the first kiss, this is the unique mark I left on Shiraishi-kun, which is very memorable. So, goodbye."

Ayane smiled shyly and ran away in the snow with light steps.

While Shiraishi was still in a daze, Liuli's face beside him turned red with anger.

It is the humiliating feeling of having your most cherished 'toy' taken away by others without hesitation.

This sense of humiliation filled her mind with dark thoughts that wanted to destroy everything.

I don't have any other ideas.

"This, this, this - shameless! How shameless! Dirty! A whore!"

As he spoke, Liuli formed a seal with his hands and gathered all the chakra in his body.

"Go to hell! Fire Release·Hao Huo——"

"Wait! Don't mess around in the village!"

Shiraishi reacted and immediately stopped Liuli, throwing her down on the snow to prevent the fire escape technique from being used.

After all, it is not very auspicious to have ANBU come to your door during the Chinese New Year.

Ayane, who was some distance away, naturally heard the bustle behind her, but her mind was no longer on it.

She touched her lips with her fingers, and there was the scent of white stone there.

This year will be a good start.

◎

Mid January.

The four members of Sakumo's team gathered at the entrance of Konoha Village.

"This mission is to exterminate an illegal organization in the Land of Fire. There seem to be ninjas in it, so it is a B-level mission. It can also be upgraded to an A-level mission at any time. It is not a difficult mission, but you should not be careless..."

When Sakumo was explaining the mission, he suddenly found that the atmosphere in the team was a bit strange.

Ayane had a gentle and innocent smile on her face, as if she didn't notice the strange atmosphere in the team.

Ruri's extremely ferocious look towards Ayane made Sakumo suspect that she would cut Ayane into pieces.

"Shiraishi, what happened to the two of them?"

Sakumo looked at Shiraishi, the most ordinary and most normal-behaving medical ninja in the team.

"It's nothing, girls have something every month..."

Liuli walked directly to the side and stepped on Shiraishi's foot, making him turn blue and speechless.

"Teacher Sakumo said that the mission is very dangerous, so don't leave my sight, otherwise I cannot guarantee your safety."

Listening to Liuli's threatening words, Shiraishi had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Since that day, Liuli's expression became very scary.

It doesn't make sense to reason with a woman who is extremely angry.
