He began, "Sakura, according to my research, over 90% of guys actually prefer girls with big breasts, so I can eat more foods that can help increase breast size, such as..."
"What are you, you bastard, saying?"
Sakura looked up shyly at his sudden words.
"After all, Sasuke is a boy, so it's good to add some advantages!"
Looking at Sai's smile, which was trying hard to imitate Naruto but looked rather strange, and then at his words...
Sakura clenched her fists, her face flushed with embarrassment, and swung them out, saying, "Don't talk nonsense!"
A fist, having contained most of its power, landed directly on Sai's chest!
Sai had no time to react; he was sent flying backward as if hit by a high-speed train.
It slammed hard against the corridor wall, then slowly slid down, leaving a clear human-shaped dent in the wall...
Sai slumped against the wall, clutching his aching chest, and couldn't help but feel relieved that Sakura had held back.
After seeing Sakura run away with a blush on her face, Sai resumed his expressionless face.
I pulled out my notebook and painstakingly began to write:
Test 2: Imitate Naruto Uzumaki.
Feedback: Extremely negative.
Analysis: The smile imitation failed due to incorrect timing and content selection of language.
Praise needs to be specific and sincere? But "sincerity" cannot be quantified.
Learning progress: No progress, and accompanied by the risk of physical injury.
He closed his notebook, stared at the white ceiling of the hospital, and silently updated the overall progress in his mind:
Progress on the emotional learning task: 0%.
Conclusion: Emotion simulation is extremely complex, with too many variables and a lack of reliable algorithms. Further observation and data collection are needed.
It seems that learning about emotions is a much longer and more arduous journey than completing a hundred S-level missions.
Sai experienced the first stirrings of an emotion called "frustration," though he was unaware of it.
Chapter 340 Big Eater Competition
Konoha Village, bathed in bright sunshine, enjoying a rare moment of peace.
But for Sai, a mission that is many times more difficult than an S-class mission is plunging him into unprecedented trouble.
"Learning about emotions..."
Sai sat in his room with the thick book "The Complete Guide to Interpersonal Communication" open in front of him.
For the first time, a crack appeared on the standardized fake smile on her face, a crack that seemed to reveal distress.
He studied day and night, trying to find a shortcut to the complex world of human emotions between the lines.
Based on the book's point that "catering to someone's preferences is an effective way to build closer relationships," he felt he had grasped the point.
He meticulously crafted personalized gifts for his three teammates.
He brought a book with a funny pig on the cover and the title "How to Write a Report That Even a Pig Can Learn (with a Complete Set of Templates)".
It was solemnly presented to Naruto, who was having a headache because of the report.
He sincerely handed a copy of "One Hundred Ways to Enhance Breasts (Illustrated Edition)" with a sexy cover and a sensational title to Xiaoying, who was drinking tea.
He handed over a book that reeked of suspicious pink and was titled "One Hundred Ways to Find a Girlfriend (From Beginner to Expert)".
He handed it to Sasuke, who had just recovered from his injuries and was resting under the tree, without any expression.
"Sai!!! I'm going to kill you!!!"
This is Sakura, so enraged that her hair almost stands on end and her superhuman strength is unleashed.
"You bastard...do you want to die?!"
This is Sasuke, his face as black as the bottom of a pot, his Chidori Stream bursting out uncontrollably.
"Aaaaaah! Sai! What do you mean?! Are you calling me a pig?!"
This is Naruto, who joined the pursuit because he felt insulted, even though he didn't fully understand the situation.
A thrilling chase unfolded on the streets of Konoha.
Sai, relying on his excellent Body Flicker Technique and Flying Ninjutsu (Super Beast Imitation Drawing), ran desperately ahead.
Behind him were the other three members of Class 7, their faces filled with murderous intent, determined to tear him to pieces.
Chickens and dogs scattered and jumped around along the way, and villagers scrambled to make way, discussing the scene.
In the end, Sai managed to hide in the Hokage's office building, where Tsunade stopped the three of them, thus barely escaping disaster.
He leaned against the wall, slightly out of breath, the standard fake smile on his face completely gone.
Instead, he wore an extremely subtle expression of frustration and sigh, one that he himself was unaware of.
"Sigh... the 'learning about emotions' task seems to be a long way off."
"The Complete Guide to Interpersonal Communication" seems unreliable.
Walking dejectedly down the street, a colorful poster on a bulletin board caught his eye.
[Konoha Autumn Eating Contest!]
[Grand Prize: A one-day luxury tour voucher to the top-tier hot spring resort in Yu-no-Kuni! (Includes meals and accommodation)]
Sai stopped in his tracks.
Hot spring resort?
Want to get the reward together?
His brain immediately began to work like a precision instrument, rapidly flipping through the pages of the "Complete Guide to Interpersonal Communication" in his mind.
"Participating in competitive activities with friends and winning awards together can greatly enhance team cohesion and friendship."
Sai immediately turned around and found Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura, who had just finished the chase and were still sulking.
"A hot spring resort?!"
Upon hearing about the reward, Naruto's eyes instantly turned into ramen noodle shapes, and his previous grudge over the book vanished in an instant: "Really?! Free food, drinks, and hot springs?!"
Sasuke snorted coldly, indicating that he had no interest whatsoever.
Sakura was also somewhat disheartened; she had little confidence in the eating contest.
However, when Sai added that the exclusive food supplier for this competition was "Ichiraku Ramen"—
"Oh my god!!! All-you-can-eat Ichiraku Ramen?!!"
Naruto instantly ignited his passion, and Sai didn't need to persuade him any further.
He rushed to the registration point like a wild dog, shouting, "The championship is mine!!"
Seeing Naruto's appearance, Sasuke and Sakura exchanged a glance, both seeing helplessness in each other's eyes.
Sasuke sighed, "Anyway, I have nothing to do on vacation."
This is considered as defaulting to participation.
Sakura shrugged and said, "Okay, I'll just go and make up the numbers to cheer for Naruto."
Thus, the four-person group from Class 7 successfully registered.
Upon arriving at the competition venue, the place was bustling with noise.
They discovered that there were quite a few familiar faces: the entire eighth class, Dingci from the tenth class, and Xiao Li and Ningci from the Kai class.
And some of the tough guys in Konoha who considered themselves to have enormous appetites were all eager to try.
The rules are simple: Uncle Yile personally oversees the event, providing unlimited refills of noodles and soup.
Whoever finishes the most bowls within half an hour is the champion!
With Kakashi, who had been brought in to act as the host, giving the order: "The match begins!"
In an instant, the entire arena transformed into a battlefield!
"I'm gonna start now!"
Naruto took the lead, picked up a bowl of noodles, and ate two bites with his chopsticks dancing like a whirlwind!
He finished off a steaming bowl of ramen! He then boldly piled the empty bowl aside.
"Burn, youth! Eating is also a part of self-cultivation!"
Not to be outdone, Xiao Li next to him shouted strange slogans.
The speed was even slightly faster than Naruto's, as if he wasn't eating noodles, but pouring them into a bottomless pit, finishing a bowl in two seconds!
Naruto glanced at his opponent in the green bodysuit beside him in surprise: "Yo! Thick eyebrows, you're pretty good!"
Lee also looked at him with admiration: "You're not bad either! Naruto-kun! This is the clash of youth!"
A fierce competitive spark ignited in their eyes, and they regarded each other as their mortal enemies, embarking on a frantic battle of taking bowls from each other.
The speed at which they ate noodles increased again, and the empty bowls piled up at a visible rate.
Sasuke frowned in disgust as he watched Naruto eat like a starving ghost.
He then ate his noodles elegantly, muttering to himself, "That idiot..."
Neji, standing next to him, also sighed helplessly, looking at Lee, who was in a state of "youthful" frenzy and whose eating habits were a disaster.
“I totally agree.”
The two geniuses exchanged a helpless glance, and surprisingly, a sense of mutual sympathy arose between them, both because of their troublesome teammates.
The girls' group, on the other hand, had a completely different style.
Sakura's appetite was only average to begin with, and she was participating purely for entertainment. She ate slowly and deliberately, even commenting on the taste of the soup.
Hinata, on the other hand, was very shy. She ate in small bites, chewing slowly and carefully, her face almost buried in the bowl, as if she were just there to go through the motions.
It shows absolutely no competitiveness.
