Hokage Master

After Naruto's unexpected question, Lee was embarrassed and fell silent, but as soon as he took another sip of sake, he hiccupped and slowly replied:

- I ... I only spoke to Tenten and Gai-sensei ...

- And how did they react?

He rubbed the bridge of his nose in embarrassment.

- Gai-sensei was surprised and supported me, and Tenten ... She said that I was strange, eh ...

"You are already weird ..." With a grin, Naruto ruffled the chatterbox's hair and reassured him again.

- Never mind someone else's opinion. This is your life, do what you like, find your happiness and do not be ashamed of it . Better let's drink to the future where all our dreams will come true!

- A? - Li's eyes shone with joy, and then he abruptly stood up and staggered to raise the cup.

- For our endless youth!

Continuing to drink with a new, or rather old, friend, the Hokage calmed down a bit. He hadn't relaxed for a long time, so a little drink in the company of such a funny guy was not superfluous, but he still did not lose his vigilance, in the end he came here for a reason. Therefore, while his new friend went to relieve himself, Naruto used the powers of the sage and finally found the people he needed.

"That means that ... It was worth guessing. I wouldn't mind having a drink myself in such an environment. "Naruto slowly drained his cup and then waved to the bartender. Just at that moment, Lee finished and staggered back to the bar, but before he could reach for the drink, Naruto grabbed him by the shoulder:

- Let's go!

- Eh ... hic! Wh-where?

- You will see.

Staggering and often stumbling along the way, Lee followed Naruto, he did not even ask where they were heading, but simply continued to lament about how cruel women were. He endlessly repeated all his unsuccessful connections, and as a result, Naruto even had to pull this chatter away from some old man and his granddaughter. One had only to see the embarrassment on that girl's face ... Although, I must admit, she was hot. But you need to not be as aggressive as some people did to the girls. Unsurprisingly, he faced the cruelty of women.

Finally, after a few minutes, they reached their destination. The Akimichi Quarter, like the rest of Konoha, was illuminated by the bright lights of the night lights, as well as pleasant moon reflections in the beautiful starry sky. At the same time, as in any busy city, even here people often scurried, someone walked their animals, and someone just got out on a date with their soul mate. The carefree and drunk Lee often pestered such couples, making them sometimes blush and sometimes even turn pale. Naruto was amused a little, but he didn't fold. And so they finally came.

Meanwhile, at the Akimichi residence, Chоji and Karui's house, in the backyard, enjoying the evening breeze, a couple of best friends were drinking sake and playing cards with Sai. The three of them were already pretty drunk, Chоji chucklingly chewing on a piece of grilled meat, and Sai glumly stared at the cards, hovering in thought. Shikamaru, in turn, looked bored at his friends and, with a slight drunken blush on his cheeks, grumbled in their direction:

- Well, you two, are you going to do something already? I'm going to die of boredom now ...

- Mhm! Chоji wiped the fat on his green T-shirt, then licked his lips and said,

- I miss.

- Seriously? - Shikamaru sighed irritably and poured himself sake: - With you how to play ... - suddenly he fell silent and blinked in surprise.

- Naruto?

Not far from the trinity, two silhouettes suddenly appeared. Staggering and grinning Rock Lee and calm Naruto, in an ironed shirt and trousers, as if he hadn't drunk for the last two hours, but just came to work.

The Hokage waved to Shikamaru and the others, and then Lee laughed.

- Friends! Ha ha! Why didn't they call me ?! I am the rich man's master! Let's cards ... - he insolently sat down next to Sai and patted him on the shoulder:

- Come on.

- Um, well, yeah ...

Since Shikamaru dealt the last card and Chоji did not fight back, it was indeed Sai's turn. Although, he frowned anyway, ignoring everyone around him. It seemed that this game occupied him much more than the others, and he took it too seriously - he could not even relax!

Naruto walked over and sat down next to Shikamaru, smiling mysteriously.

- Shall we drink?

- Ha ... - Nara grunted in surprise, and then nodded gravely: - I could not have asked!

Chоji laughed.

"Naruto, I could tell right away, we would have called you too!"

"Exactly, I thought you were working," grumbled Shikamaru, pouring sake to his friend, "We don't drink that often ... But, you're always welcome."

"Oh good," the Hokage nodded with restraint, accepting the cup, "I decided to give myself some amusement ..." With a sly grin, he gave Shikamaru a thoughtful look, then turned to Chоji. Nara did not understand what the changed Naruto meant, but was surprised by his following words:

- So where is Karui?

- NS? Akimichi didn't understand the question, to which Naruto chuckled, "It's amazing that she allowed you such entertainment.

Chоji laughed contentedly, while Shikamaru smiled and explained:

- Today Karui is on a mission, will be back in a couple of hours, weird that you didn't know ...

"Hmm, that's how," Naruto nodded calmly, "Now I'm not doing small work, so missions are not my concern."

- That's how, I thought you'd like it ...

Sai began to listen with interest as Lee took away his cards and started playing with a drunken Chоji, the two quickly chatted away from the others.

Shikamaru sipped his sake, while Naruto calmly coped with any dose of alcohol and poured more and more.

"I have some plans for the entire residence. I admit, I dreamed of becoming Hokage, but if everything continues like this, then the Eight will just have to die from paperwork. We need changes, otherwise it will become impossible to work.

"Good idea old man," Shikamaru immediately raised his cup. "Let's drink to this!"

"Mm," Naruto nodded curtly and smiled at Sai and drank with him.

However, his vicious thoughts touched something pleasant ...

"How is my Ino there? I wish I could spare some time for her too ... Now, while drinking, she could serve me well ... "
