Chapter 240: A Chance Encounter in a Noodle Restaurant
After spring, summer, autumn and winter, countless days and nights alternate, countless changes in wind and clouds.
Three years is not a long time, but for Naruhiko, who has a full life, three years is very short, so short that he has to go to find the three of Yahiko before he has time to rest.
As for where to look, Naruhiko didn't know, anyway, it was certain that the three of Yahiko were in the Land of Rain, and it was impossible to run elsewhere.
The range is a bit large, and Naruto can only find it slowly.
Carrying a burden and wearing a red and white windbreaker, his height is significantly higher than before, and he is no longer the little one he was before.
At the age of twelve, he often bears the responsibilities of an adult in the Hokage world, and Naruto has a heavy burden on him, and at most he plays the role of a savior.
The appearance hasn't changed much, it's still the same handsome boy, but the skin has changed from fair before to a healthy wheat color, which may look more in line with the image of a ninja.
"Have you seen three teenagers, two men and one woman, one of whom has red hair. ”
"Nope. ”
"Excuse me. ”
……
For a while, Ming Yan has been repeating such things, but there has been no progress.
Unfortunately, I was hungry, and when I walked into a noodle restaurant, I just sat down and looked up and saw three people standing at the door, who seemed to be hesitating about something.
This world is really small, I was still looking for this one a few days ago, but I didn't expect it to be delivered directly to the door today.
"Boss, can you buy three bowls of noodles for one hundred and thirty taels?" Yahiko asked, scratching his head and being a little embarrassed.
"Three bowls? Two bowls are still ten taels away. "The owner said impatiently.
"Ah......" Yahiko looked embarrassed, "Okay, I'm sorry to disturb you." ”
Naturally, Ming Yan couldn't let them leave, but he couldn't rush over and pull them in, that would only make them feel uneasy and kind, so they could only raise their voices and say, "Eh, wait a minute." ”
Yahiko didn't think it was calling him, so he still walked, but Xiao Nan was the first to react, "That boy seems to be calling us, huh?"
"Call us?" Yahiko looked up and thought for a moment, the three of them......
"It seems to be, but we don't know him, so what did he tell us to do? Yahiko made a preliminary definition.
"He doesn't look like a bad guy, why don't we go in first and ask what's going on. Xiao Nan proposed, "Nagato, what do you think?"
"Doesn't look like a bad guy...... I don't think he looks like a good guy yet. Yahiko pouted.
Xiao Nan glanced at him, then looked at Nagato.
After a while, Nagato said lightly, "You can go in and have a look." ”
"Two votes passed. Xiao Nan said with a grin.
Yahiko suddenly hung his head and looked dejected, and followed the two of them in.
Ming Yan didn't know that it took so much trouble for the three of them to come in, but when he saw the three of them coming, his heart finally settled down, as long as they were willing to come in, the next thing would be much easier.
"You may be seated. Ming Yan got up and beckoned them to sit down, "Boss, come three bowls of miso barbecued pork ramen and add toppings." ”
"Okay!"
The three of Yahiko carefully pulled out a stool and sat down, looked up and saw the price list hanging on the wall, the cheapest bowl of noodle soup actually cost seventy taels, my God, if I remember correctly, this boy asked for three bowls of miso barbecued pork noodles, and looked down the price list, one hundred and twenty taels!
After the eyes, there is doubt, or doubt.
"What do you want to do?" Yahiko looked at Ming Yan and asked, there will be no free lunch in the world, and the other party is willing to invite them to eat noodles, there must be a purpose.
"I feel a little familiar with the three of you, so I want to make friends. Ming Yan smiled.
"That's all?"
Yahiko didn't believe it, this motive was too pure, so pure that he couldn't accept it.
"That's all. ”
Ming Yan wanted to say it, but after thinking about it, there are many people here, so let's wait to find a place where no one is around, so as not to be targeted by some people.
When the ramen was served, Yahiko and the others were very polite at first, but after taking a bite slowly, they immediately revealed their original form, and they couldn't wait to pour the noodles into their mouths in one bite, and even drank a large bowl of soup after eating.
How many days have you been hungry...... Naruto was shocked.
"Boss, three more bowls. ”
Naruto could see that the three pairs of eyes were revealing longing, obviously the rhythm of not having enough to eat.
At this time, the boss stared at Ming Yan suspiciously, could these few have discussed to eat the overlord meal.
Seeing the worry in the boss's eyes, Ming Yan took out his wallet and took out a few tickets and slapped them on the dining table, and the boss immediately withdrew his gaze and obediently ran to cook noodles.
Yahiko stared at the boss, he clearly saw that there was a thick pile of money tickets in the wallet, I don't know how many exactly, in short, it was a lot, he had never seen so much money in his life, it was estimated that it was enough for him to eat and drink for several lifetimes.
Xiao Nan was also a little surprised, what is the origin of this boy, why is he so rich, the young master of a big family?
I didn't think of him as a ninja, because Naruto didn't have the sign of a ninja on his body, but he looked like a samurai, because he carried a sword behind his back, and samurai often liked to carry swords and the like behind his back.
As the miso barbecued pork ramen was served, these doubts were put behind them, and nothing was more important than filling their stomachs in a state of hunger.
Eating a bowl of noodles, Ming Yan settled the bill with a smile, "Don't look for it." ”
I didn't forget the expression on the boss's face when I left the noodle shop, Ming Yan had to admit that it was a little cool, it's good to be rich!
Walking to a place where there were few people, Ming Yancai whispered, "Jiraiya, you should know each other, right?"
Hearing this name, the three of Yahiko immediately became nervous, talking about the ninjas of the Land of Fire in the Land of Rain, nothing good, the ninjas of the Land of Fire taught them ninjutsu, if those old stubborns of the Land of Rain knew, they would definitely be charged with strange charges.
"Who the hell are you!"
Yahiko protected Nagato and Konan and distanced himself from Naruhi.
"I'm Truman Mingyan of Konoha and an apprentice of Jiraiya. ”
Ming Yan honestly confessed his identity, and if he wanted to gain their trust, he must first be honest, and show this identity, believing that they would not reject him.
In terms of seniority, he is still the senior brother of this family.
"You're Jiraiya-sensei's apprentice?"
Yahiko suddenly felt confused, shouldn't the apprentice of Jiraiya Sensei stay in Konoha , how could he come to the Land of Rain alone? Although the situation has eased now, there are still contradictions between the two countries, and the Land of Rain does not welcome the arrival of the Konoha ninja.
"Do you think I need to lie to you? I will only reveal this identity to you. ”
That's right, if this identity is revealed to others, it will lead to death, this kid dares to say this, which means that he trusts them.
"What proof do you have?" Yahiko asked.
Born in such an environment, believing one's words is irresponsible for one's own life and the lives of one's peers.
"When Mr. Jiraiya left the Land of Rain, he told me that he took in three war orphans from the Land of Rain.,The appearance characteristics told me.,It's basically the same as you.,If I'm not mistaken.,You're Yahiko.,You're Nagato.,You're Xiaonan.。 ”
Ming Yan pointed at them and called out their names, and as the last word fell, all three of them couldn't help but believe it.
Because no one can know their names except their dead parents and partners, and only the three of them know each other and Jiraiya Sensei who taught them ninjutsu.
The boy was able to call their names so accurately, and it should have been Mr. Jiraiya who told him, so what he said would not be false.
