“Hey, hey! Damn it, we’re still here!”
Jealousy distorted Inuzuka Kiba’s face.
Akamaru also poked his head out from Inuzuka Kiba’s arms and barked, “Woof woof woof, woof woof woof!”
Teacher Kurenai watched Feng An and Hinata with an aunt-like smile on her face.
Realizing what was happening, Hinata quickly ran behind Teacher Kurenai and hid.
Feng An glanced at Inuzuka Kiba, silently forming hand seals.
Seeing his familiar movements, Inuzuka Kiba immediately thought of that terrifying Great Fireball.
He quickly hid behind a house and shouted at Teacher Kurenai, “Teacher Kurenai, he’s going to kill me!”
Teacher Kurenai raised an eyebrow, quite interested in Feng An.
“Is he good at Fire Release?”
Because his hand seal speed was slow, she could tell at a glance that it was the seal for Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, but there was no Chakra flowing from Feng An, so naturally, she didn't need to intervene.
Feng An saw Inuzuka Kiba quickly hide, and a slight smile played on his lips.
His original intention was just to scare him; otherwise, a single Tiger seal would have finished it instantly.
“The mission is complete, let’s head back.”
Feng An said, “Wait a minute, Teacher Kurenai, Kiba, you come help me too.”
Inuzuka Kiba peeked a few times, realized Feng An was just scaring him, and then came running over with an awkward smile.
“What’s up?”
“Of course, it’s to bring back these spoils of war,” Feng An said, then swung a wild boar almost as tall as he was at Inuzuka Kiba.
“Catch it.”
Immediately, the two each carried a pig’s trotters, taking four in total, leaving no hands free, but there were still several more on the ground.
Hinata saw Feng An and the others at a loss and offered, “I’ll help too.”
Feng An quickly shook his head, “No need, we can’t even finish four.”
“Besides, even if we were to take more, Teacher Kurenai is still here; how could she possibly let you carry them?”
Hinata nodded, “Understood.”
Teacher Kurenai crossed her arms over her chest and gave him a look.
This kid is quite sarcastic, no idea who he learned it from.
“Let’s go quickly, the sun is almost setting,” Teacher Kurenai said.
Then Feng An and Inuzuka Kiba each carried two wild boars on their backs and hurried back to the Village.
By nightfall, Feng An and the others had completed their mission and arrived at the training ground.
After he put down the wild boars, Feng An counted them and found the number was off.
“Kiba, did you bring back three?”
“No, I wanted to carry one more back, but I didn’t have a free hand.”
Inuzuka Kiba was in the nearby woods, picking up wood.
Hey, that’s strange.
“I brought it back,” an emotionless voice came from beside Feng An.
Feng An jumped in surprise and looked sideways, “Oh, it’s Shino. That makes sense, your stealth technique is too amazing, completely silent.”
Shino Aburame: “...”
Feng An then found a suitable spot nearby and set up a stand.
Before long, Inuzuka Kiba and Hinata also returned with a large pile of branches.
Everything was ready.
Feng An quickly formed hand seals.
Poof!
Instantly, a fireball with a diameter of one meter flew out of his mouth.
Fortunately, Teacher Kurenai was there this time; she quickly picked up Hinata, who was nearby, and flashed backward.
Feng An noticed immediately that he had accidentally used too much Chakra and had already moved away.
Only Inuzuka Kiba was not quick enough to dodge and got his butt burned. Akamaru quickly peed on him to extinguish the flames.
Teacher Kurenai questioned, “What do you intend to do with such power?”
Feng An said awkwardly, “I didn’t mean to; I was already trying to hold back, but I didn’t expect the power to still be so great.”
Kiba, whose flames had already been extinguished, climbed up with a mournful face.
“You did that on purpose! I interrupted you and Hinata being lovey-dovey earlier, so you took the opportunity to get revenge. Teacher Kurenai, please side with me!”
Saying that, Kiba ran towards Teacher Kurenai.
Behind him, Hinata’s small hands twirled in front of her, and she said shyly, “We weren’t being lovey-dovey at all…”
What is that awful smell?!
Teacher Kurenai frowned and sniffed, realizing it was the smell coming from Inuzuka Kiba.
“Don’t come any closer. Go get revenge on Feng An; I allow it.”
She held one index finger to her nose and used the other hand to push Kiba’s face away, preventing him from getting closer.
“How am I supposed to fight? I’m a close-range attacker; am I supposed to chase after someone who can easily spit out a five-meter fireball?”
Inuzuka Kiba was on the verge of tears. It wasn't that he didn't want to fight Feng An; it was that he couldn't. Fire Release’s main advantage is its wide coverage; he would be a fool to go after him.
“Cough cough.”
Feng An scratched his head and coughed twice, “Although there was a small accident, look, the branches are burning.”
Everyone: “...”
Before long, everyone had finished off several wild boars, leaving only half a roasted pig. The few of them were already full.
Only Hinata remained, her eyes fixed on the remaining half of the roasted pig, but seeing that everyone else seemed full, she swallowed her saliva and didn’t suggest roasting and eating the rest.
However, how could Feng An not know her little thoughts?
She was a woman who could set a record for eating at ichiraku ramen.
No wonder she didn’t seem to grow; she must not have been eating properly, which stunted her growth.
But with so many people around, it wouldn't do to say that a girl ate four pigs and still wasn't full.
Dangerous.
Feng An almost asked Hinata if she was still hungry without thinking.
“Teacher Kurenai, should we roast and eat this half too?”
Teacher Kurenai wiped the oil from her mouth and waved her hand, “Teacher is already too full.”
Feng An then looked at Inuzuka Kiba, “Kiba?”
Inuzuka Kiba didn’t answer; he first asked Akamaru, who was lying in his arms, “Akamaru, are you still eating?”
“Woof woof,” Akamaru shook his head.
Inuzuka Kiba lay back in a spread-eagle posture and said, “I can’t eat anymore. Can you still eat?”
“Hmm, I’m not full yet.” Feng An spoke nonsense without batting an eye.
Inuzuka Kiba looked at Feng An’s bulging stomach.
Are you sure you’re not joking?
Feng An turned his head, “Hinata?”
“I…” Hinata hesitated for a long time and said, “I’m not hungry, you eat.”
Feng An nodded and said to everyone, “Then I’ll just roast and eat it myself. You all go back first; it’s getting late.”
“Don’t eat yourself to death.”
Inuzuka Kiba stood up, stared at his bulging stomach, and gave him a scornful look.
It was already very late, and everyone had wanted to leave for a while, but no one had taken the initiative to suggest it.
Teacher Kurenai also patted the dirt off herself, “Then we’re really leaving. You don’t need us to stay with you a bit longer?”
Feng An blinked, sizing up Teacher Kurenai, “Teacher can stay with me if she wants.”
Feeling his intense gaze, Teacher Kurenai glared at him, “You can just stay here and feed the wolves.”
With that, she lightly leaped and jumped away.
Seeing that Feng An was actually roasting again, Inuzuka Kiba didn’t linger either.
“Feng An, I’m leaving first.”
“Hinata, you don’t need to stay with him either. By the time he finishes eating, it’ll probably be a long time again.”
Hinata nodded, but her body showed no intention of leaving; she just stood up and walked back and forth in place.
Once everyone had left, Feng An’s lips curved upward, “It’ll be ready soon, Hinata, come here quickly.”
He then added several more pieces of firewood, making the fire even stronger.
He just said he was very hungry; if I join him, he definitely won’t get full… Hinata reluctantly tore her gaze away from the roasted pig, “I’m not hungry. I’ll just stay here with you for a bit and then go back.”
“But Hinata, the drool at the corner of your mouth…”
