Chapter 233: Meeting
In Konoha Ninja Village, a busy shopping street, there is a ramen shop with a banner with the word "Ichiraku......
Although it seems small and inconspicuous, under the long queue in front of the store, as if waiting for a long time, everyone's face is full of anxiety and excitement mixed with complex looks, which is enough to prove how prosperous the business of this store is.
Although he was born in a separate family, as the twin brother of the head of the clan family, the son of the head of the divided family, Ninji's education on weekdays was not much easier than Hinata.
Under this premise, although Ningji did not become like Hinata, under the strict prohibition of his father, he became unable to go out of the door. But for ramen, which is a B-class delicacy for ordinary people, it is obvious that it is only in a state where it has heard of it. So much so that after seeing the villagers waiting in a long line in front of him in order to eat a bowl of ramen, he did not hesitate to withstand the scorching sun and wait, which made Ning Ci stunned and stunned in place. And under the stimulation of the strange thoughts born in this instinct, because he was still young and had not yet learned to control and suppress his emotions, he involuntarily held his head in his hands and exhaled in shock.
"Uh-huhββ! Li...... Awesomeββ! So many people! Then again, it's just a bowl of ramen, isn't that exaggerated! β
"Hmph, that's why I said, you haven't experienced it at all, Uncle Yiraku's own hand-made - extremely delicious ramen, how powerful the destructive power is~"
After hearing Ninji's unbelievable exclamation, Naruto, although he snorted proudly on the surface, the banter and smile that swirled in his eyes gradually deepened innorantly. And then in his heart, he thought about it, and secretly laughed and muttered.
"Lots of people? Isn't that nonsense...... Originally, Uncle Yile's business was very good, and today was Sunday, and it was just in time for lunch...... If there is no picture of full customers in front of the store, it is called an exaggeration~"
ββ¦β¦ Hey, ...... Started bragging again......"
The long queue in front of the store that he witnessed with his own eyes strongly shook Ninji's original belief in victory, and he turned his head slightly embarrassedly in front of Naruto's triumphant smile. While his eyes were dripping, he forcibly endured the curiosity that grew stronger and stronger in his heart,
"What about more guests? Maybe it's just a matter of good luck and good business today...... There's no way to prove that the ramen at this restaurant is as delicious as you say! Yes, that's it! β
"Hey, hey, just be stubborn. After all, that's all you can keep your mouth shut...... When you take your first bite of ramen, you'll be impressed by its delicious taste! β
Seeing that Ninji's mood began to waver, Naruto did not press too hard, lest he be resisted. Then grinning and teasing, while freeing one hand, he naturally hooked the neck of the small fan standing obediently next to him, and half relied on it, putting half of the weight of his body on Sasuke's body. While waving straight forward with his free hand, he continued leisurely.
"So what's next...... Forward-Enter! Let's eat ramen! β
"Hey, wait a minute......!"
Under Naruto's increasingly smiling gaze, Ning Ji vaguely had the "illusion" that his little bit of caution had been seen through by the people in front of him. And then his heart became more and more shaken and hesitant, and after seeing Naruto striding forward with a big grin, ready to walk straight into the store like this, Ning Ji, who was slightly panicked, couldn't help but instinctively shout. Then, as if they had telepathy, Naruto and Sasuke both turned their heads at the same time, looking at themselves in confusion. Cold sweat broke out on Ning Ci's forehead, and while looking around, as if he remembered something, he tried to maintain a calm and calm appearance on his face, and continued word by word.
"I said you ...... Even if you are in a hurry to prove to me how delicious the ramen at this restaurant is...... Then you should follow the rules and honestly go first and queue up later, right? If you go directly to the queue, it will easily cause the anger of the crowd...... No matter how you think about it, it's common sense, huh? β
Based on a cursory previous look, the speed at which the team was slowly moving forward...... If you queue up now, you will probably have to wait at least an hour before it is your turn to enter the store.
In other words, under normal circumstances, as long as he could have this hour's buffer time, Ning Ci would be able to stabilize the wavering emotions in his heart. In addition, you can be sure that you will keep a sane mind during the subsequent tasting of ramen, and you will not be so easily impressed by the taste of ramen!
Well...... However, Ningji, who was seriously thinking about what kind of countermeasures he should take when he tasted ramen next, seemed to have forgotten about it......
In the past few days, the reason why he has worked tirelessly to go to the No. 3 Wild Survival Training Ground, looking back and forth for Naruto's figure, is to learn the secret that Naruto has hidden...... It's not to ask Naruto to treat himself to a bowl of ramen after finding Naruto!
In other words...... For the sake of a bowl of ramen that I have never even tasted, and I have never even seen the type of ramen, Ningji, who has racked his brains and pondered carefully, is compared to the original purpose...... This is already the same as losing a watermelon and picking sesame seeds, putting the cart before the horse! Be sober, Ningci?!
Of course, they have already arrived at the door of the Yile ramen shop, and they are just one foot away from the door, and they can add one to the members of the harem...... Uh, Bah, Bah...... In the case of the number of partners plus one, whether Ning Ji realized that he had gone against his original purpose, Naruto would not give Ning Ji the slightest chance to think slowly about countermeasures.
ββ¦β¦ Poofhahahaha! I thought you had changed your mind, but you were just worried about such a trivial matter? Hahahaha! β
No, no, as soon as Ningji's words fell, Naruto and Sasuke blinked their eyes, tilted their heads slightly, and looked at each other for a while. It was as if they were twins, and they laughed out loud in unison. During this period, whether it is the frequency of body shaking or the action of raising your hands to cover your stomach, they have achieved an astonishing degree of extremely tacit understanding that is exactly the same and not the slightest difference!
"...... trifles?"
From the words of the two people in front of him, after not hearing the slightest change in his intention to enter the store directly, Ning Ci's mind that had just relaxed suddenly tightened again. The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and while keeping his tone as steady as possible, he looked Naruto and Sasuke up and down with the eyes that looked like a fool.
"Hey, what are you talking nonsense? It's a pretty serious ......."
"Anla, I've already told you that this is just a trivial matter, so you don't have to worry so much......"
Compared to Ning Ci, who was confused and confused, as a partner who got along with Naruto day and night, Xiao Tuan Fan naturally knew what kind of reason existed behind this. And then Naruto's playful and agitated smile, imitating a seven-seven-eighty-eight, while stretching out his free other hand, directly grabbed Ninji's arm. While not waiting for Ning Ci to finish speaking, he interrupted directly, and at the same time, he semi-forcibly pulled Ning Ci's figure, began to cross the long queue, and walked towards the door of the store without any worries.
"Instead of wasting time here, let's just go straight in with us...... Hawkers, rest assured, everything will be fine~"
Of course, if you adjust the timeline forward for about a year...... At the beginning, under the influence of Fuyue's strict and harsh family environment, the small group fan who behaved appropriately and paid attention to etiquette would definitely be the same as Ning Ci now, standing still and hesitating.
It's just that after getting to know Naruto, and away from his parents' teachings, in the course of a year-long special training, he was almost inseparable, and he was alone with Naruto at close range. Although from the outside, it doesn't seem to have changed significantly. On weekdays, he still looks like a little angel in the past.
But secretly, only a certain brother who was heartbroken and paid a heavy price knew that from the day his mother gave birth, in the past three years, the wings of the pure angel who had been carefully cared for and pampered had been cultivated by an unnamed little devil with a belly black, and his strength had increased by leaps and bounds, and he was completely contaminated with the depraved color called belly black.
"Huh? No kidding, how can you rest assured! If you two want to be scolded, I won't ...... Huh? β
Almost as soon as the small group of fans let out a loud grin, Ning Ci, who had already awakened his white eyes, instantly noticed that almost all the eyes of the crowd waiting in line around him were focused on his group. Then Ning Ci felt as if his face was burned, and he felt a little embarrassed and uncomfortable, so he instinctively prepared to break free from the small fan and hold his hand.
But before Ning Ci finished speaking, the next reaction of the people around him was to make Ning Ci turn his words around, and he couldn't help but instinctively surprise him.
Because under Ning Ci's white eyes, the eyes that were originally focused on his group seemed to sense something that could not be easily provoked, and they not only retreated in panic. After his group passed by, for fear of meeting their eyes, they lowered their heads one by one, and at the same time, they began to shrink their necks.
Because of this, the white eyes had just opened, and when the master was not yet proficient, Ning Ci noticed the change in everyone's gaze. But before everyone bowed their heads to cover their movements, they didn't notice it...... In the depths of everyone's eyes, there was a look of deep hatred and disgust mixed with horror as if it were instinctive.
"Tsk...... That monster, why is it again......"
"Looks like my luck isn't very good today......
"Alas...... Bear with me a little, that guy usually leaves after eating anyway, and it won't take much time. β
"Yes, it's better to wait a little longer, but it's better than provoking him and going crazy to hurt someone......"
That's right, obviously, the reason why Sasuke and Naruto dared to say that they didn't have to line up honestly and directly cut the queue to enter the store in advance, and no one would say that the reason was out of Naruto...... As a "demon fox monster" in Konoha Village, who is hated by everyone but is afraid of it, although he will suffer a lot of white eyes on weekdays, but to some extent, he can unexpectedly provide Naruto with some small conveniences.
"Speaking of which, I didn't notice it before, this guy is a child of the Uchiha clan......"
It's just that all his thoughts are on observing the movements of the eyes of the people around him, and he doesn't know anything about Naruto's details, so Ning Ji not only did not know the reason for this change, but also speculated on Naruto's body. On the contrary, it was because Sasuke had inadvertently replaced Naruto's soothing words before, and he was suspicious of the small fan head of the innocent lying gun.
"Hmph, I've heard for a long time that the Uchiha clan is arrogant...... It seems that the reason why they dare to be angry and dare not speak is because they are used to being bullied by that guy on weekdays, but they are afraid of the revenge of the Uchiha clan, so they dare not show it......"
Of course, Ning Ci only thought about this kind of complaining in his heart, and did not confide it directly...... Otherwise, I would have been jealous a long time ago [crossed] to see Ning Ci's unpleasant little fan, and I would definitely fight with Ning Ci on the spot.
"I guess there shouldn't be more time, no less, okay? It's rare that the target takes the initiative to send it to the door, you can't live up to my kindness and let go of this excellent opportunity to release your suspicions...... Well! Got it! β
At the same time, Naruto, who had been silent since Sasuke took the initiative to speak, frowned slightly, but his mind had already left the trivial matter of luring Ninji to eat ramen. Then, thoughtfully, he touched his chin with his free other hand, bowed his head slightly, and took advantage of his current lack of height to observe the backs of the customers sitting at the table of the ramen shop through the curtain close at hand. It wasn't until he glanced at the glance and noticed a familiar back that the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a satisfied smile with a plan. While tilting his head a little, his gaze rested on Ning Ci again, and continued mysteriously.
"Let's go, Ningci, someone is already waiting for you in the store in advance...... If you make the other party wait too long, it's very rude~"
"Huh? Wait for me? Who......"
"See for yourself, won't you know? Because, the person who is waiting for you, you not only know, but also know very well~"
"Huh? Someone I know, ...... are still familiar with you? Hey, he's pretending again, I don't think anyone is waiting in a place like this......"
Pretending to be calm and precocious, out of the innate curious nature of children, Ning Ci looked around with curious eyes, but he still couldn't help but be distracted, and involuntarily began to look at the decoration style of Yile Ramen Shop. So much so that after hearing Naruto's sudden voice, his mind had not fully reacted, so he instinctively responded, following the guidance of Naruto's smiling gaze, and slowly looked towards the store. But in the next second, the calm look on Ning Ci's face that he had tried to maintain was instantly swept away. The whole person opened his mouth and was stunned, but his fists suddenly clenched uncontrollably. Immediately, his eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a look that didn't know whether to say respect or hatred. And in the middle of a word, he continued with difficulty.
"How is that possible...... That person is ......"
"Day...... Hinata...... Hizoku adults......"
