Naruto: I open a pet shop in the Ninja world.

They went to a popular izakaya in Konoha.

At this time the place is already full of guests.

However, Iruka had reserved a seat in advance, so they went to a compartment with better privacy.

Along the way, he met many familiar faces, and Chi Qing responded to their greetings one by one.

It was rare for them to see Chi Qing in such a place, and they all found it very strange.

As soon as I sat down with Iruka, the guy from the store brought over a table full of wine and cold dishes.

Iruka was stunned and scratched his hair: "Maybe it was delivered to the wrong place? I haven't ordered it yet."

"Teacher Iruka, Mr. Chi, these are all sent to Mr. Chi by the old customers outside." The young man smiled and said, "The uncles also ordered a lot of hot dishes, which will be here soon."

Chi Qing looked outside and saw the uncles all raising their beer glasses in his direction.

Chi Qing did not hesitate and picked up a glass from the table and drank it all in one gulp in front of everyone.

The whole pub was suddenly filled with cheers.

"Not bad, not bad! Brother Chi Qing is quite straightforward!"

“Young people are just different!”

"Well done!"

"I have an appointment with Iruka-sensei today. Next time, I will have a drink with you guys!"

"Next time, it will be more than one cup! ~"

"I'll wait for you to have a good drink together!"

"..."

"..."

Listening to the excited voices of the guests outside, Iruka looked at the table full of wine and side dishes, feeling a little depressed.

I originally wanted to treat Chi Qing, but ended up getting a free drink thanks to him.

I always feel uncomfortable.

Chi Qing returned to the compartment and saw Iruka's expression, guessed what was going on, and said to him with a smile: "Don't worry about anything today, let's drink to our heart's content~"

Chi Qing actually only likes to drink a little sake, and his alcohol tolerance is very average.

So the consequence of drinking a whole cup in one gulp like I did just now is that my stomach is bloated and I feel a little dizzy.

Tonight, I was already a little tipsy before I even started drinking with Iruka.

He took out a powerful digestive pill from his bag and swallowed it, and the bloating feeling in his stomach improved.

Iruka was a little restrained at first, but soon relaxed under Chi Qing's guidance.

Apparently Iruka's alcohol tolerance wasn't very good, as his face turned red after he drank a pot of sake.

The topic, which was originally about Naruto's academic performance over the years, turned to the hurdle in his heart that he had been unable to get over.

"Wow, wow, wow, I'm so sorry, Naruto, Senior Chi Qing, I'm not worthy of being Naruto's teacher." Iruka, who was obviously drunk, had tears on his face.

Lying on the table, he confessed in annoyance: "Wuwuwu, Naruto is such an excellent child. Before I met him, hiccup, I hated him, wuwuwu, I am guilty, Senior Chi Qing!"

"I know, I know, you are right, don't cry." Chi Qing moved over and sat next to him, patting his head again and again: "Teacher Iruka is the best teacher."

“Wow wow wow wow, thank you for comforting me, I, I feel even more guilty wow wow wow, I feel ashamed of the trust that my senior and Naruto had in me wow wow…”

"Hey, everyone makes mistakes sometimes, you've done a good job~" Chi Qing, who was also drunk, said in a floating voice: "Iruka is really a good teacher, my baby likes you too~"

"Baby? Senior Chi Qing already has a baby?" Iruka suddenly raised his head, with two lines of snot and tears, looking at Chi Qing with confused eyes.

"Yeah, let me think about it." Chi Qing counted on his fingers: "My baby...ah! Eleven years old~ When he graduates from the Ninja School at the age of twelve, he will be a big kid!"

Chi Qing, who was not in a clear mind, remembered the time wrongly.

Ninjas are no longer children after they graduate from school, so the fact that Naruto is twelve years old is a reality that Chi Qing has always wanted to avoid.

If possible, he would like to protect Naruto under his wings for the rest of his life.

But no, Naruto has grown up and has his own wonderful future.
