Chapter 180 A Toast To Tomorrow To The Past Toast To Tomorrow
Shi Lei is not stupid, he is just too lazy to use his brain.

However, after experiencing the incident in the Hidden Fog Canyon, he felt that his mind still had to move occasionally.

He is not afraid of others dealing with him, what he is afraid of is that others will hurt the people he values ​​because of dealing with him.

This is unacceptable to him.

At this time, the clothes Sarutobi Hiruzen gave him had the family crest representing the Uzumaki clan, maybe it was just a coincidence, but Shi Lei still analyzed it habitually.

So he came up with three results.

The first one: coincidence.

Just got the clothes with the imprint of the Uzumaki clan, this possibility can basically be ruled out, but Shi Lei still gave a 5% possibility.

The second type: reasonable identity.

Considering that Shi Lei will be doing business on Muye South Street, he must have a relatively reasonable identity in front of the public.

This identity can neither be eye-catching nor offensive. It is best to be the kind of "small transparency" that others will not care about when they see it.

The Uzumaki family, whose country was exterminated and displaced, fits these characteristics very well.

Out of such considerations, Sarutobi Hiruzen gave him a set of clothes representing the whirlpool.

Shi Lei thinks that the possibility of this situation is about 25%.

There is also a 70% possibility that it is due to the third situation——

In order to protect an important person of the Uzumaki family.

Now there is only one surname Uzumaki in Konoha Village, and that is Uzumaki Naruto.

He is the son of Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina, and the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki that Konoha's high-ranking officials value.

However, as the only member of the Uzumaki clan in Konoha Village, he is too eye-catching.

If another member of the Uzumaki clan appears in Muye Village, it will undoubtedly be the greatest cover for him.

And Shi Lei, who has disappeared for ten years, is naturally the best cover candidate.

"Sarutobi Hiruzen probably came up with this idea, right?"

Thinking of this, Shi Lei suddenly grinned.

"Hehe, if that's the case, then it doesn't matter. Instead, it gave me a reason to contact Naruto openly."

As the saying goes, it is called "whatever you want".

Shi Lei was thinking about how to get in touch with the "protagonist" Naruto, when a trembling voice sounded behind him.

"You... the pattern on your back... are you from the Uzumaki family?"

"Ok?"

Hearing this voice, Shi Lei turned his head and saw a young man with yellow hair and a six-legged beard on his face.

Uzumaki Naruto!

Shi Lei recognized the identity of the visitor in an instant, but he still deliberately pretended not to know him.

"Who are you? Are you also from the Uzumaki family?"

"Yes, yes, yes... By the way, look at this!"

Naruto seemed to be afraid that Shi Lei would suspect his identity, so he quickly turned around to let Shi Lei see the red swirl marks on the back of his clothes.

"How? How? Did you see it? I am also from the Uzumaki clan. My name is Uzumaki Naruto. Isn't this name very cool!"

"Pfft!" Hearing his catchphrase, Shi Lei couldn't help laughing.

"Eh?" Hearing Shi Lei's laughter, Naruto suddenly showed a puzzled expression, and asked cautiously, "Is my name funny?"

"no!"

Seeing Naruto's cautious look, Shi Lei immediately shook his head, and explained:

"I just thought of a friend of mine, she also has the same strange oral habit as you, and she always talks like 'baa pinch pinch pinch', haha!"

"Yeah, pinch?"

Hearing this oral habit, Naruto was taken aback for a moment, then scratched the back of his head and laughed.

"Haha, this oral habit is quite similar to mine. Is that friend of yours also from the Uzumaki family?"

"um, yes!"

Speaking of this, Shi Lei seemed to feel something, and suddenly looked up to the upper right with a half-smile.

"My friend's identity is very special. You can't know it yet, but you will know it when the time is right!"

Having said that, Shi Lei looked down at Naruto.

"Let's go, I'm very happy to meet you who belong to the Uzumaki family. As a celebration, I'll take you to a barbecue. Don't worry, I'll treat you!"

"Haha, that's great!"

Hearing Shi Lei's words, Naruto immediately became happy, chatting with him all the way, and walked in the direction of Barbecue Q.

Seeing this scene, Sarutobi Hiruzen, who was far away in Hokage's office, couldn't help laughing.

"This guy, his perception is still as sharp as it was ten years ago, no... it should be said to be more sensitive, but Naruto should be fine with him... Forget it, I'd better go there myself!"

Facts proved that Sarutobi Hiruzen's idea was correct, when he arrived at Barbecue Q, he happened to see Shi Lei imparting his "experience" to Naruto.

"Naruto, let me tell you, if a man wants to pursue a woman he likes, he must do three things: be bold, careful, and thick-skinned!

To put it simply, don't hesitate when you meet a woman you like, touch and kiss if you want, take advantage of it if you can, and never shrink back! "

"Uh……"

Hearing Shi Lei's words, Naruto immediately showed hesitation, "What if I get beaten?"

"Afraid of you, if you are afraid of being beaten, how dare you say you like her?"

Having said that, Shi Lei put his arms around Naruto's neck.

"Naruto, let me tell you, women are duplicity animals, as the saying goes, 'beating is distressing, scolding is love, and kicking when you like it', understand?"

"Oh... I see!"

Hearing Shi Lei's words, Naruto suddenly realized and nodded.

"No wonder Sakura likes to hit me so much, and often kicks me, so she likes me!"

"Yes, that's it!"

Shi Lei immediately nodded vigorously.

"So next time she hits you again, just kiss her, kiss her hard, until she blushes and her heart beats when she sees you, and finally turns around shyly and runs away, then you have succeeded, understand?"

"( ) Got it, Master!"

"( ) Well, children can be taught!"

Sarutobi Hiyazaki: "..."

What kind of weird theory is this?
No, he can't be allowed to continue, otherwise I'm afraid Konoha will have another self.

Thinking of this, Hiruzaru Sarutobi immediately stepped forward and spoke to Naruto who was looking at Shi Lei with adoring expression.

"Naruto, why are you here?"

"Three generations of grandfathers!"

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Naruto immediately stood up with a face of surprise, and then introduced Shi Lei to him.

"Grandfather of the third generation, this is Big Brother Shi Lei, also from the Uzumaki Clan, and Granny Qiandai, she just went out!"

"Ok, I know!"

Seeing Naruto's excited face, Hiruzaru Sarutobi immediately chuckled, and then looked at Shi Lei.

"Brother Shi Lei and I have known each other for a long time. There is a puppet shop on Muye South Street that belongs to him. Do you have any impression, Naruto?"

"Ah... so it's there!"

Hearing Sarutobi Hiruzen's words, Naruto suddenly showed an expression of enlightenment.

"It turns out that the puppet shop that has never been opened is owned by Brother Shi Lei. So, can I see him often in the future?"

"..."

Hiruzaru Sarutobi was silent this time, but Shi Lei smiled and nodded.

"Well, that's right, you can see me often in the future, but when I come back from the Land of Winds, I still have a little business to deal with, and I'll be back when I'm done!"

"Great!" Hearing Shi Lei's words, Naruto cheered again.

Seeing this scene, Shi Lei smiled again, and then smiled at Hiruzaru Sarutobi.

"Master Hokage, if you don't mind, let's sit down and have a drink or two, one to tomorrow and one to the past."

"Ok?"

Hearing Shi Lei's words, Hiruzaru Sarutobi's eyes lit up, and he nodded.

"Okay, let's drink two glasses, one to tomorrow and one to the past!"

　There is a power outage here, and I don't know when I will come, just in case, please take a leave of absence first!
