Chapter 64: One Pleasure

The village has not yet recovered to the pre-war level, there are many fewer people, and it is much more deserted, Amber estimates that at least a third of the ninjas in Konoha Village are killed and wounded, and the remaining combat power is not even half of the previous one, and many passers-by are wearing black kimonos, with a sad look on their faces, which is not too much to describe as a family funeral.

"Huh?" Amber suddenly heard a child's cry, stopped and turned her head to look, not far away, at the door of a house, an old woman was holding a five-year-old child, the child was crying sadly in the grandmother's arms, and an older child was standing next to her.

"Don't cry, brother, we have to work hard to become ninjas and avenge our parents!" said the elder brother with tears in his eyes and gritted his teeth.

"Alas~~~" Amber sighed and turned to leave, damn the war, ruining countless happy families.

After walking a few steps, a sloppy drunk rushed out of a tavern, and the owner of the shop also rushed out, scolding him to get out. The drunk man lay on the street and babbled nonsense, and after a while he began to cry bitterly again. Passers-by gathered around him to try to persuade him to leave.

"Isn't this the carpenter Ohno, how did he become like this?"

"I heard that his son died in battle, and it is really pitiful, he lost his wife at an early age and a son at middle age, and there is no hope. ”

"Alas, damn the war, it's good that my son is only eight years old and still in ninja school, otherwise ......"

"Forget it, don't talk about it, let's send him home. ”

Seeing the drunk man being carried away by passers-by, Amber shook her head, and remembered the scene on the battlefield again, the chaotic killings, the dead bodies all over the ground, both teenagers and men and women who have become parents, and the painful and unwilling faces of death make people feel cold.

As she walked, Amber unconsciously walked to a deserted street opposite the Hokage Rock, where a restaurant was being renovated and several craftsmen were busy tinkling.

"Well, this is ......" Amber was stunned for a moment, always feeling that this place was a little familiar.

Suddenly, a sturdy middle-aged uncle walked out of the store with a little girl in his hands, and shouted to the craftsmen to rest for a while and drink some water.

"It's ...... Uncle Ichiraku, then this is Ichiraku Ramen?" Amber patted her head, and then remembered that Ichiraku Ramen had only opened after the end of World War III, and that little girl should be Calamus.

"That's good news, yes, yes. Amber's depressed mood was inexplicably much better, and when she saw Ichiraku Ramen, she remembered the silly Naruto, and remembered the stupid things Naruto had done in the anime, and she couldn't help but laugh out loud when she thought about it.

Uncle Yile heard the laughter, turned his head suspiciously, and found Amber who was smirking not far away, so he said with a smile: "Children, construction is going on here, it's very dangerous, let's go play elsewhere." ”

"Click!" Amber twitched the corners of her eyes, and said dissatisfiedly, "Don't call me a child!"

"Uh? haha, okay, okay. Uncle Yile laughed, patted the calamus and said, "We just came to Konoha, you go and make friends." ”

Calamus walked out from behind Uncle Yile with some twists, bowed and said, "My name is Calamus, and it's nice to meet you." ”

"I said don't treat me like a child. Amber covered her face, sighed helplessly, and said, "My name is Amber, but I'm not a child, I'm already a middle ninja." With that, Amber took out the ninja forehead guard from her pocket and shook it.

"Huh......? Are you a ninja?" Uncle Ichiraku looked at Amber in surprise, he could become a middle ninja at such a young age, even if an ordinary person like him knew what it meant.

"Real...... I'm sorry. Uncle Yile apologized embarrassedly.

"Well, uncle, you don't have to be so polite, and I'm not really angry. Amber is also a little embarrassed, in Konoha Village, the status of ninjas is higher than ordinary people, such as Naruto, after becoming a ninja, there are few people who openly bully him anymore.

"Oh, yes. Uncle Yile breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh yes, I wonder when you're going to open here?" Amber asked suddenly.

"It's probably going to be more than a month, what, do you like ramen too?"

"It depends on how it tastes, but I'd like to discuss something with you, uncle. Amber said.

"What's the matter?"

"I want to invest in your ramen shop. ”

"Cast ...... Investment?!" Uncle Yile looked at Amber dumbfounded.

Half an hour later......

Amber sat at a makeshift table in the store and feasted on a bowl of toppings.

"Uncle, your craftsmanship is amazing, it's the best ramen I've ever tasted!" Amber exclaimed, patting her belly.

"Yes, because it hasn't opened yet, some of the ingredients haven't been prepared, and it's a bit rudimentary. Uncle Yile scratched the back of his head happily, for a chef, there was nothing more pleasant to him than to be praised for his skills.

"So, let's talk about investing. Amber sorted out the language and said, "I'm going to invest in an event when I open." ”

"What kind of activity?" asked Uncle Yile, puzzled.

"Hmm...... How to say it. Amber thought for a while and said, "It's probably to eat ramen to send blessings and fund the activities of the orphanage, that is to say, everyone who comes to eat ramen, each bowl of ramen will take out a part of the money to fund the orphanage, and at the same time, there is also a chance to eat various coupons in the noodles, and exchange for various gifts of iron sticks, all the expenses are funded by me, including the money to fund the orphanage." ”

"So what can you get in this way?" Uncle Yile asked strangely, there should always be a purpose for doing activities, and if you do this, Amber will definitely lose a lot of money in the end.

"Everyone's smiles. Amber smiled, looked down at his right hand, he had been on the battlefield for more than a year, and he had killed no less than a hundred people with his own hands, it would be a lie to say that he had no burden in his heart, after all, he grew up in a peaceful world, and he always couldn't erase that trace of kindness and forbearance in his heart, Amber knew that this was not the feeling that a qualified ninja should have, but the heavy feeling that could never be forgotten was like a stone in his heart, and this sudden desire to engage in activities probably also wanted to alleviate some of the pain in his heart.

"This ......" Uncle Yile said with some hesitation: "Although this event can improve the reputation of the store and bring a smile to everyone's face, the benefits are mine, and it is always inappropriate for you to have no return." ”

"Who said I shouldn't give it back?" Amber said, raising an eyebrow, "I want a gold card that will give you free ramen for life at your shop." ”
