Chapter 19 : Barbecue (Rewrite)

Asuma Sarutobi was a chill and badass Jonin from the Leaf. He decided to welcome his new team in a kickass way. 

Shikamaru Nara, Ino Yamanaka, and Kirito were in for a damn good time on their first day together.

Asuma picked a sweet spot on the outskirts of the village for a barbecue, surrounded by tall trees and the soothing rustle of leaves.

 If Kirito didn't know any better, he'd think Asuma was DIY-ing to save some cash. 

He set up a makeshift grill with his badass trench knives, ready to cook up a feast for his crew.

The smell of sizzling meat filled the air, teasing the hungry stomachs of the new squad. 

As Shikamaru, Ino, and Kirito rolled up, Asuma welcomed them with a charismatic grin. "Welcome to Team 10! Today, we're breaking the ice with a damn barbecue. 

This is my way of treating you for not only passing my test but also kicking my ass. 

That doesn't happen often and it will be appreciated that only we know about it," he declared, the smoke from the grill adding to the laid-back vibe.

Shikamaru, always with a lazy expression, mumbled, "Troublesome," but his eyes hinted at some interest.

 Ino couldn't contain her excitement. "Asuma-sensei, you know the way to our hearts! This is freakin' awesome!"

Kirito quietly observed the scene, intrigued by the natural camaraderie of this team. 'I didn't like that Choji had to go, but there's nothing I can do. Still, I dig the team. I'm with Ino, and Shikamaru is the second-best boy I could ask for, after Naruto,' Kirito thought to himself.

As the meat cooked to perfection, Asuma encouraged his team to spar.

Shikamaru reluctantly agreed while Ino and Kirito were more than eager to show off their skills.

 Laughter and clashing kunai filled the air as the team had a kickass practice session.

Asuma, the skilled smoker, schooled the team on grilling techniques and shared ninja stories. 

He even threw in a game of "Ninja Poker" with shuriken instead of cards. The winner got the honour of flipping the next batch of meat.

As the sun set and the sky painted a canvas of warm hues, Asuma gathered the team around the crackling fire.

They shared stories, cracked jokes, and bonded over delicious food. Asuma's knack for creating a relaxed yet challenging vibe allowed the team to form a connection beyond being a ninja.

By the end of the evening, around the dwindling fire, the team felt a sense of unity. 

Asuma, with a cigarette in hand, looked at his new crew with pride. "This is just the beginning, Team 10.

 Get ready for a shit-ton more adventures and plenty more barbecues," he declared.

Under the starlit sky, Team Asuma forged bonds as strong as Asuma's badass trench knives. 

The barbecue not only filled their stomachs but also ignited the flames of camaraderie that would guide them through the challenges of the shinobi world.
