Naruto, this game world seems a bit real.

Chapter 214 Regret

"Don't even think about poisoning her. I'll be watching what you're cooking." Deidara seemed to have thought of something and moved closer to Qingrou.

"Whatever you want!" she said gently, her expression unchanged.

Watching Qingrou cook with such smooth and effortless movements, Deidara was really looking forward to this breakfast. He never expected that Qingrou could cook.

A breakfast was quickly prepared, smelling delicious and looking very appealing.

Deidara eagerly placed it on the table, exclaiming, "Hey, why didn't you make one for yourself!" Only then did he belatedly realize.

"I'm not hungry, you eat!" Qingrou had already prepared an excuse.

Deidara felt something was off, and his stomach was growling with hunger, so he didn't think too much about it.

"Then I'll start eating!" he said, picking up his chopsticks and putting a mouthful of noodles into his mouth.

He spat it out as soon as it entered his mouth.

"vomit..."

"Qingrou, I'm going to kill you."

By the time he turned around, Qingrou had already run away, shouting as she ran, "You asked me to make you breakfast, I didn't force you to eat it."

Deidara finally understood why she hadn't made one for him too; she was waiting for him there.

After a while, Deidara stopped because he was hungry.

Qingrou, who was still a little sleepy, had long since woken up.

"Qingrou, what exactly did you put in the food? How come it smells so good but tastes so bad?" Deidara couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"You were watching me the whole time, how could I possibly have had a chance to cook? It's just that it tastes awful, don't overthink it," Qingrou said, rolling her eyes at him in annoyance.

"So how did you eat before?" This made Deidara even more curious.

"It was a gift from Heitu's sister, and we also ate at the restaurant."

"Deidara, that's a stupid question. You live next to me, but have you ever seen me cook for myself?"

Hearing Qingrou say this, Deidara thought about it and realized it was true. Back in the village, they often fought over the lunchboxes that Black Soil Sister gave them, otherwise they would eat at the store.

"Let me treat you to a meal!" Deidara invited.

"Do you have money?" Qingrou asked doubtfully.

Deidara blushed and rummaged through his pockets, finding only one hundred taels of silver. "Qingrou, lend me some first, I'll pay you back when I make money."

After Qingrou searched the whole place, she found one hundred taels.

The two of them looked at each other in bewilderment; they were truly poor!

Previously, people in Iwagakure Village would often help them out, so they never had this problem.

Fortunately, Qingrou doesn't need to eat, so she can still survive.

Deidara didn't think so. "Qingrou, it seems we have to work hard to make a living in the future. If you follow me, you will definitely not go hungry."

"Use these two hundred taels for a meal now, and I'll make sure you eat gourmet meals every day from now on," Deidara said confidently.

"No need, I can live on my own!" Qingrou refused without even thinking.

Deidara didn't believe a word she said. All he did every day was toil away training in ninjutsu; how was he supposed to make a living?

When Qingrou arrived in Iwagakure, she did indeed prioritize training in ninjutsu and occasionally maintained her persona, completely ignoring everything else.

"Qingrou, although we often clash, we grew up together and are neighbors, so it's only right that I take care of you," Deidara said, patting his chest.

Qingrou was extremely unwilling, but she agreed in order not to reveal her identity.

"Then let's go back and pack our things!" Dilada was delighted and walked towards his lodgings.

The two returned to their lodging outside the village to pack their clothes. They didn't have much to begin with, so it was done in no time.

Qingrou deliberately chose this secluded location to focus on training her ninjutsu, while Deidara came with her.

He felt lost after leaving the village, but the thought of Qingrou instantly gave him direction, and that's how he found her.

Deidara found a shop and each of them ordered a curry rice, which cost exactly two hundred ryo.

As soon as the dish was served, Deidara couldn't wait to start eating. He hadn't eaten anything since yesterday and was starving.

In less than a minute, Deidara finished the curry rice in front of him, feeling only slightly full.

"Why aren't you eating?" he asked, puzzled, seeing that Qingrou hadn't touched her food.

"I'm on a diet, so I'll share some with you." Qingrou picked up the plate and put two-thirds of the curry rice onto Deidara's plate. "Eat up!"

Only after she finished doing that did she pick up her spoon and start eating.

Despite the shop's remote location, the food was surprisingly good, although she didn't understand how she could make any money there.

Deidara was surprisingly moved by her actions and secretly vowed to take good care of her.

the next day.

"This is the feast you were talking about!" Qingrou, soaking wet, stared at the grilled fish in front of her, lost in thought.

"Of course... no one else has the chance to eat the fish I caught!" Deidara's face turned slightly red, but he still stubbornly insisted on speaking.

Qingrou rolled her eyes, not wanting to argue with him. Her current wet appearance was all thanks to him.

The fish in front of me were either missing their tails or their heads; not a single one was intact.

Knowing he was in the wrong, Deidara earnestly started grilling the fish he had grabbed, saying, "You eat this!"

He picked up a grilled skewer that looked pretty good and handed it to Qingrou.

She accepted it without hesitation.

"I've received a commission, and I'll get a million-dollar reward once it's completed!"

"Then we'll have money," Deidara said between bites, his eyes filled with anticipation for the future.

Qingrou didn't take it to heart and didn't say anything to hurt him.

The two ate quietly, and their clothes dried after they finished eating.

There was a small cave nearby, just big enough for two people.

Leaning against the wall, Qingrou looked regretful. Why did she have to come out with Deidara to suffer like this?

What is this guy so excited about?

Lost in thought, she drifted off to sleep.

Deidara heard the even breathing, glanced to the side, and found that Qingrou was asleep, so he stopped what he was doing and made no more noise.

Qingrou's head rested on Deidara's shoulder without her realizing it.

Deidara stiffened for a moment, then shifted his position to make Qingrou more comfortable.

Deidara had never seen Rou's face up close before, and he was surprised to find that she was quite beautiful; he had never noticed her before.

Although Deidara grew up in Iwagakure, he had no friends, and Onoki looked down on his Explosion Release and insisted that he learn Dust Release.

He set up so many explosions in the village just to prove himself.

After returning from the Chunin Exams, he toned down his behavior a bit, otherwise he would have been kicked out of the village by Onoki long ago, instead of only being kicked out now.

Unexpectedly, Qingrou, who had infiltrated Iwagakure, couldn't stand Deidara's constant explosions and began to confront him, which led to both of them being kicked out.

Deidara stared at Qingrou for a while, and gradually fell asleep. However, this sleep was more peaceful than ever before, perhaps because there was someone else there.
