"Is that Charmander? It looks so cute."
Mikoto suddenly walked up to Kenji and sat down in front of him, looking at Charmander.
"You and Charmander should get along well, because you're the first person to remember its name. Everyone else just calls it a summoning beast."
Kenji reached out and stroked Charmander's face, responding.
"Can you tell me how you met Charmander? If you don't want to, just pretend I didn't ask."
Although the relationship between Mikoto and Kenji was that of teammates, many things were very secretive for ninjas.
Just like Hanzō, who was known as the demigod, if the information about his summoning beast, the Salamander, were leaked, his strength would be greatly reduced.
However, Kenji obviously didn't intend to hide anything. Anyway, Charmander was the only Pokémon in the entire ninja world.
"This guy's origin is quite mysterious. One night, during a full moon, I was still sleeping when I suddenly heard a loud noise in the yard. When I went out to take a look, I found that something had smashed a big hole in the center of the yard."
"At first, I thought it was a meteorite or something, but I didn't expect it to be something that looked like an egg. Then I took the egg home, and Charmander hatched out."
After listening to Kenji's story, Mikoto looked at his face with some skepticism. After all, it all sounded a bit too bizarre.
But, thinking of Charmander's magical abilities, the origin seemed to be real.
At this moment, Kenji suddenly brought the topic to Mikoto's side.
"As an exchange, how about you tell me about yourself? If the old classmates knew that I could keep watch with the school beauty, they would be so envious."
Hearing this, a blush flashed across Mikoto's face, and she said somewhat shyly.
"School beauty or whatever, it's just something that those bored people spread around. And my past is also very boring. Before I met you and Kushina, I didn't have any close friends."
Kenji looked sideways at Mikoto, revealing a somewhat surprised expression.
"That's not right. You're so popular and have such a good personality, how could you not have any friends?"
Mikoto buried her head in her knees, and after a while, she responded with a muffled voice.
"Those people are either after my family background or my appearance; they're not really trying to be friends with me. And some people are very attentive to you on the surface, but secretly criticize you behind your back. You know? I've always envied you and Kushina's close relationship."
Seeing Mikoto so depressed, Kenji didn't know how to comfort her. After all, Kushina's mind wasn't so delicate.
After a long while, Kenji finally spat out a sentence to comfort her.
"It's okay, now Kushina and I are your friends, aren't we? And Tsunade-sensei is also a very nice person, but remember not to lend her money."
Mikoto raised her head, asking with a puzzled look.
"Isn't Tsunade-sensei's status in the Senju clan very high? How could she borrow money from us?"
"Hehe, you're overestimating a gambler's self-restraint. Especially when that gambler loses repeatedly and is even called a 'big fat sheep' by the people at the casino. If the First Hokage knew that his granddaughter was like this, I wonder what he would think..."
Just then, an object suddenly "whooshed" and hit Kenji on the head, interrupting his eloquent talk.
When he got up from the ground and took a closer look, the thing that had "attacked" him was actually a shoe.
Judging from the shoe's flight path and size, it wasn't hard to guess who the owner of this shoe was.
Sure enough, Tsunade's voice came from the tent.
"You brat, you have no respect for your teacher at all, actually criticizing me there. If there's a next time, what hits your head won't be my shoe."
Kenji shook his head, giving Mikoto a helpless expression, then took the shoe back to Tsunade's tent.
To be honest, if Mikoto wasn't watching, Kenji might have performed an epic act of defiance.
However, this unlucky behavior successfully amused Mikoto, who was somewhat depressed, causing her face to reveal a bright smile.
Kenji, who had just changed his shoes, happened to see the smile on Mikoto's face and blurted out without thinking.
"You look really beautiful when you smile. If it were up to me, I would definitely choose you as the school beauty."
"Aren't you afraid that Kushina will be unhappy if you say that?"
Kenji patted his pants, sat back in his original position, and responded.
"Kushina understands very well, you just need to keep praising her as the future Hokage, and everything will be fine."
The night passed in constant chatting, and soon it was the second half of the night.
But before changing shifts, Tsunade still left a big bump on Kenji's head as a reward for his "outrageous remarks" just now.
Looking at Kenji's unlucky appearance, Mikoto finally couldn't help but let out a burst of silvery laughter.
And Kushina, who had just woken up, looked like she didn't know what was going on, even reaching out her finger to poke the big bump, saying in surprise.
"Wow, Kenji, you grew horns! Amazing!"
Hearing this, even Tsunade couldn't help but be amused.
Sure enough, smiles won't disappear; they'll just be transferred.
So, Kenji could only return to his tent with a dark face.
After healing the big bump on his head with medical ninjutsu, Kenji remembered that his lottery spin had been refreshed.
He had been chatting with Mikoto all along, which made him forget about it. As expected, women only affect his chances of becoming stronger.
As the wheel kept spinning, a blue light suddenly appeared in Kenji's eyes.
This was the first time Kenji had drawn a blue item. Although it didn't seem as good as gold, it was still much better than the usual white items.
And after seeing this reward, the corners of Kenji's mouth couldn't help but turn up.
Dark Gold Dice: After use, the luck value will increase for one hour, with the amount increasing as the number of dots increases.
This was a prop related to luck, something that was ethereal and vague, but it was of great significance to Kenji.
If he rolled a six before the next lottery spin, then the possibility of getting something good would be greatly increased.
Although this was only a blue item, Kenji was quite satisfied with it.
