Chương 106: Rino Yamanaka, who flaunts her adopted son everywhere

"What do you mean by 'good luck'? Didn't you completely overwhelm that guy with the thick eyebrows and watermelon head?"

Namino was clearly dissatisfied with Yang Cheng's words, and believed that Yang Cheng was often underestimated by others because he was too low-key.

Sakura, her "plastic best friend," constantly brags about how handsome and strong Sasuke is in front of her, and she's already tired of hearing it.

Not to be outdone, Ino always wanted to argue that her friend Yosuke was also incredibly awesome.

However, when it came to giving examples, she realized that apart from the time she cut it with her father, she was severely lacking in material that she could use to brag about Yang Cheng.

Even during their conversation with their father, Yamanaka Ino, Sakura with the broad forehead remained skeptical.

Sakura is in the same team as her crush, so it's easy for her to collect materials. But Ino can only be in the Ino-Shika-Cho team. Even if Makoto occasionally shows his strength in missions, she can't see it at all.

It is well known that most girls like to compare themselves to others, including the men they admire.

This resulted in Sakura, who had plenty of material at her disposal, always overwhelming Ino.

But in this Chunin Exam, Ino finally got to hold her head high.

When Yoshinori was fighting Rock Lee, Namino watched Sakura, who was dumbfounded, and he felt incredibly satisfied.

In particular, Ino found it incredibly satisfying to see Sakura's idol, Uchiha Sasuke, with such a solemn expression when he saw Yoshinori defeat Rock Lee.

Rino Yamanaka delivered a sharp chop to Ino's head, then turned to Yoshinori and smiled gently, "I wish my silly daughter could be half as mature and composed as you someday."

As a ninja, knowing how to be low-key and restrained is the right way to survive.

If your deceased parents knew that you have grown up to be so outstanding, they would surely be gratified.

Let's go buy some ingredients first, and when your Uncle Haiyi comes back, we'll have a proper celebration tonight.

On the way home, Rino Yamanaka was smiling almost the entire time.

No secret can be kept forever, especially since Konoha Village is only so big and has few recreational activities.

Therefore, the news of the Chunin Exams preliminary rounds spread throughout the streets and alleys in less than half an hour, becoming a topic of discussion among everyone.

"Madam Yamanaka, is this young man beside you your adopted son?"

I've heard that the whole of Konoha is talking about how your child is the real genius!

"That's right, I've heard about it too. Apparently, even the Hokage was paying attention to your child's battle."

"It's so enviable, Mrs. Yamanaka, how do you usually teach your children?"

Our child is about the same age as your Yangcheng, but he's incredibly mischievous.

In the past, when Rino Yamanaka went to the market to buy groceries, it would only take her about half an hour to finish. However, today she walked for more than an hour, from dusk until sunset!

Because of the Chunin Exams today, Ino, who was already feeling a bit exhausted, couldn't help but break down when she saw her mother finish shopping in one street and then enthusiastically plan to shop in another.

"Mom, I know you're feeling very proud and smug right now, but you should tone it down a bit. Didn't you just say that ninjas need to be discreet?"

Faced with her daughter's sabotage, Yamanaka Rino also put on a stern face and said: "Of course you have to compare prices when you buy things, otherwise what if you buy something that is not fresh?"

If you feel tired, you can go home first. Yangcheng can accompany me shopping.

Having that troublesome daughter around is just a hindrance; all she does is sabotage things. Anyway, the only material she gets to brag about is her adopted son, Yang Cheng. As long as Yang Cheng goes out with her, that's all that matters.

Heh, Namino rolled her eyes without any politeness in the face of the excuse given by Yamanaka Rino.

No one knows a mother better than her daughter. How could Ino not understand her own mother's personality?

My mom, who usually only chooses the most expensive items and not the right ones, can also be quite savvy and go through the whole "compare three stores" routine.

Jingye didn't want to expose her mother's little scheme. Her desire to visit the market more often was simply because the older women there were so nice to talk to.

Whenever those older women flattered Yang Cheng about how outstanding and talented he was, Mrs. Yamanaka, his adoptive mother, was so knowledgeable about education.

My mom's lips were practically drooling with joy, but she always pretended to say, "Oh, it's all because the kids are so good at it."

Embryo, a hypocritical adult, clearly teaches himself to be low-key, but then he flaunts his adopted son, who is a hundred times more outrageous than himself.

She only flaunts Yang Cheng to her fake best friend, but her mother, Yamanaka Rino, is different. Now she's afraid that others won't know she has a genius adopted son.

Moreover, it's one thing for her to flaunt her adopted son, but sometimes, inevitably, her biological daughter is brought up for comparison.

Seeing Yamanaka Rino seemingly enjoying herself immensely, and even wanting to take another stroll, Ino felt utterly exhausted.

However, just as the reclusive Ino was about to go home to rest, an elderly woman buying groceries suddenly looked at her and said, "Lady Yamanaka..."

Is this your daughter?

Although she hasn't fully blossomed yet, she's already a stunning beauty, having completely inherited your excellent genes.

I really envy Mrs. Yamanaka; her adopted son is a genius, and her daughter is so beautiful.

"Besides, if the adopted son isn't related by blood, he can definitely marry into your Yamanaka family in the future and become a real family, right?"

Hearing what the vegetable vendor said, Ino instantly woke up from her sleepiness!

Even this middle-aged woman with a face full of scars suddenly appeared unusually pretty to Ino.

"Mom, I think this lady's vegetables are really fresh. I think we can buy more."

The young girl's affection was almost palpable, so how could the already mature Rino Yamanaka and the vegetable-selling aunt not see it?

To be honest, Rino Yamanaka naturally wanted Yosei to marry into the family. After all, a son-in-law is like half a son, and if Yosei married Ino, he would be her real son!

But Rino Yamanaka also knew that such things couldn't be forced, especially since Yosei and Ino were still young, so she couldn't just play matchmaker.

Ino has admired Yosei since she was a child, but who can know whether this feeling is admiration born of her young age or true love?

"The vegetables at this lady's stall look really fresh. Why don't we buy some, Aunt Rino?"

Upon hearing Yang Cheng's words, Rino Yamanaka's face lit up with excitement. She then boldly pulled out her wallet and said, "Boss lady, I'll take all the vegetables here!"

Seeing that Rino Yamanaka had bought all the vegetables, Ino felt that her mother was giving her a lot of face, so she just grinned foolishly.

However, Rino Yamanaka was even happier inside, thinking that her silly daughter probably didn't understand anything.

However, the fact that Yang Cheng said those words shows that he at least did not contradict what the vegetable-selling woman said.
