Chapter 802

~5 min read 971 words

As for saving the world, upon seeing that Lin Cheng was half-believing, half-doubting but no longer asking questions, he quietly let out a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, some things can't be said too hastily, otherwise explaining them would be a huge hassle.

That guy doesn't know how he's doing either—if he's fine, shouldn't he be coming back by now?

"I'll keep growing, but right now I'm going to cook. Your little brother is still thinking about my cooking, and there's also my future in-laws."

Lin Cheng hopped off the bed with a grin, put on his shirt, turned around, and headed straight out the door.

His clothes had been stripped off while he was sleeping.

This kind of thing definitely can't be let Naruto know, otherwise she'd come over all wronged and aggrieved again, making him explain.

"Lin Cheng, how are you feeling now? Senpai Hashirama said he wants to restore your chakra and won't let us come over and disturb you. Are you feeling better now?"

Naruto had been sitting at the bottom of the stairs on the first floor the whole time. Now hearing the footsteps coming downstairs, she jumped up and ran upward.

She had been waiting since yesterday, and now she could finally see him.

"There, there, I'm fine. I just used up a bit too much before, no other problems now. I'll make something good in a bit—what do you want to eat?" Lin Cheng reached out and hugged Naruto, his fingers patting his shoulder lightly.

This guy waiting downstairs like that the whole time really makes a person feel bad for her.

"It's good that you're okay. I'm actually not hungry either. Once you've recovered a bit more, we can go back to the village and eat barbecue."

Naruto hugged Lin Cheng's waist and supported him as they walked downstairs.

She really hadn't eaten at all, but right now she really couldn't bear to let Lin Cheng cook. With that level of consumption yesterday, his body definitely couldn't recover in such a short time.

"It's fine, I'm actually hungry too. I'll make something simple in a bit—how about barbecue?"

Entrusting most of his body weight to Naruto, Lin Cheng saw her glaring look, and his own eyes also became a bit pitiful. That look successfully turned Naruto's outright refusal into hesitation.

"How about you just watch us prepare the ingredients? That should be fine, right?"

Although she didn't like cooking, Naruto still knew a thing or two about preparing ingredients.

And besides, it wasn't just her here now—everyone could help out.

Lin Cheng laughed helplessly. After being helped downstairs, he slowly walked outside. After the scroll was opened, he handed the task of setting up the cooking utensils to the others.

At this time, aside from Senju Tobirama who had returned to the village, there were also Sasuke and Uchiha Itachi hunting for prey nearby.

That guy Orochimaru had already gone straight back to the Sound Village last night, and Shikamaru was fishing at the river not far away.

So outside the house, only those two pairs of newly revived couples were left, along with Kakashi who had been sitting on a tree reading a comic book.

Seeing Lin Cheng take the cooking utensils out of the scroll at this moment, Kakashi quickly came down from the tree. Without a word of nonsense, he skillfully assembled these things right beside him.

That unhesitating technique was clearly extremely practiced—obviously he hadn't done this kind of work any less.

"Sure enough, Sasuke was right. The moment I smelled this fragrance, I knew Lin Cheng had woken up. How are you doing now?"

After returning with Sasuke, Uchiha Itachi directly put the prey aside, walked over, and stared intently at Lin Cheng for a few moments.

They had originally planned to catch a few more before coming back, but Sasuke suddenly stopped, saying this fragrance meant Lin Cheng was cooking something.

That's what made them rush back, and looking here when they arrived, things really were just like that.

"Much better. I don't have any major problems, just used up too much chakra."

Lin Cheng laughed helplessly and turned his head to look at Sasuke.

That guy was actually throwing a tantrum?

Even though he'd come back now, he didn't say hello to him, instead going straight to the side to help Aunt Mikoto process the prey.

A tantrum-throwing Sasuke is pretty cute too!

"Thank you."

Suddenly speaking words of thanks, Uchiha Itachi looked at Lin Cheng with eyes full of gratitude.

Whether it was the revival of his parents, or the long-term care of Sasuke, or the fact that he could return home again.

All of this, he had always needed to give thanks for.

"It's just like how I like cooking—I like it, so I just do it."

Lin Cheng really didn't want this guy staring at him like that. His reason for reviving these people was simply because he'd flirted with their child, or their brother.

Although without these people, it might actually be easier to keep people by his side, in the end human feelings can't be limited to just one portion.

Love isn't necessarily reliable, so family affection—this thing that can make people feel warmth and happiness—should still be allowed to continue existing, warming the people around him at the same time.

Rather than thanking and being grateful, it would be better to be a bit nicer to the few people he cares about.

Like Naruto and the Fourth Couple. After this couple came back, Naruto's smile noticeably increased, and she learned to act cute with her parents, sharing happy things with them.

Family affection is something other feelings can't replace, so whatever he can give, he'll try his best to give.

It's just Sasuke...

Let's leave it at that for now.
