Chapter 238: Where there is a cause, there is an effect
"Uh-huh...... The relationship between the two of them seems to be pretty good......"
Although he was busy preparing ramen in the kitchen behind the counter, he was always attracted by curiosity because of his own attention, and he set aside a part of it for the sake of Hizoku and Ninji. After Uncle Ichiraku found out about this amazing scene, he scooped up the boiled ramen noodles from the boiling water bucket and shook them dry. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, as if he was relieved, and sighed softly.
"When I came in, I sat together, but no one paid any attention to anyone, and I didn't even look at them. As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked fiercely...... I thought there was some kind of hatred between the two of them...... Now it seems that I am thinking too much. β
Compared with the fact that he didn't know the inside story, so he was naturally guided by the scene in front of him, and regarded Rizu and Ningci as just an ordinary harmonious relationship between the elders and the younger generations, with a little misunderstanding and contradictions, and then optimistically believed that the contradiction between the two would be resolved. Naruto's mood towards Naruto, the main messenger behind the scenes, who secretly planned this meeting, was extremely complicated, and he didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
"Naruto" swears that if he wasn't 100% sure that he would be a shadow clone who couldn't dream...... Then, the warm and touching scene I saw with my own eyes in front of me was definitely a pipe dream I made. Or maybe it's just that you unknowingly fall into someone's illusion and the illusion that will appear in front of you!
After all, in Naruto's cognition, Hinata Hinata's level of not being able to take children is enough to rank among the top three in the Naruto world! In other words, if you want Hinata Hinata to lower her posture, learn to be gentle with children, and gently soothe the injured young hearts of children, it is almost equivalent to talking to a dream!
"Conspiracy? Another purpose? No, no, no...... Anyway, this is also an uncle and nephew, how can he calculate the other party...... But I ...... Did I just hear it wrong? Uncle Hinata...... He's ...... Apologize? This...... How is this possible?! β
It is precisely because of this that I saw Rizu stretching out his hand, gently holding Ning Ci in his arms, and gently soothing and apologizing for his kind appearance. Although intellectually speaking, Naruto was quite willing to see this happen. But when this scene really appeared, my heart still couldn't help but fall into a complicated state of astonishment. And then complained in his heart, one side of his chin seemed to be dislocated, and his mouth was so wide that he couldn't close it. While being stunned, he subconsciously stretched out a hand and pulled the fleshy little face of the small fan next to him.
"That is to say, Uncle Yile, the relationship between the two of them actually seems to get along quite well? I couldn't figure out what Naruto was worried about...... Whewββ! Painββ! β
At the same time, after hearing Uncle Ichiraku's emotional words, Xiao Tuan Fan slowly turned his head sideways to follow the tempting aroma of the prepared ramen broth, and nodded in agreement. Then he thought that Naruto had made a rare mistake in judgment, and then used it as a lever to make fun of Naruto. The person next to him suddenly stretched out his small hand that approached, making Sasuke mistakenly think that Naruto was moved by the warm atmosphere between Hizoku and Ninji, and wanted to touch his little head for the first time in a long time, and was obviously slightly stunned for a moment. So much so that he was caught off guard and let Naruto catch him right. Then he screamed in pain, and at the same time, he raised his hand and stroked his little face pitifully. While refocusing his gaze on Naruto beside him, he threw a look of aggrieved confusion at Naruto, muttering and complaining intermittently.
"Dry ...... What are you doing, Naruto! I...... I'm not wrong...... Don't believe me, see for yourself! β
"See for yourself? If so...... Can you see both of them too? It's not my illusion alone, is it? β
Although because he knows, he is just a shadow clone, and he doesn't do any daydreaming. The reactions of Uncle Ichiraku and Sasuke next to him proved that everything they saw in their eyes was real. But in the midst of muttering to himself, Naruto still couldn't understand why Hinata suddenly had a brain open, and knew that he should lower his posture and comfort Ninji at this moment. As Naruto's brows furrowed firmly, he didn't respond to Sasuke's question, but asked again uneasily.
"Huh......? Aren't you talking nonsense? I'm not blind, I'm so big two living people, how can I not see it! β
In response to Naruto's abrupt rhetorical question, Sasuke was only slightly stunned, and then retorted loudly in the twitches of his mouth. And then in order to vent his dissatisfaction, he didn't want to think about it, so he blurted out and complained.
"After all, the relationship between the two of them is not as exaggerated as you feared! No matter how you look at it, Uncle Hyuga is probably the same as my father, with a knife mouth and a tofu heart, and it is difficult to pull down his face......"
"That's right...... But I always felt that something was wrong......"
Faced with the fact that he couldn't save face not long ago, he either didn't speak for a long time, or pretended to be cold and stiffly "praised" Ning Ci. Now it's as if the whole person has changed, and the temperament and behavior have become completely different. Naruto, who has always liked to dig into the horns of the bull in deep thought, suddenly felt that his brain cells were not enough, and he fell into a dead end of thoughts. But it didn't take long for a flash of inspiration to come to mind, so much so that he turned his head sideways in surprise, looked at Sasuke blankly, and continued word by word.
"Wait a minute...... You just ...... What do you mean? β
"Huh? Just now? As I said, the relationship between the two of them is not ...... at all."
"It's not this sentence, it's the latter sentence."
"Back? Not...... I want to think about ......"
After seeing Naruto's serious appearance, the small fan suddenly restrained the complaint in his heart and began to think about it obediently and seriously. Immediately, under Naruto's deliberate guidance, he slowly responded tentatively.
"Hmm...... The second half of the sentence...... Uncle Hinata is mostly like my father, with a knife mouth and a tofu heart......"
"That's right! That's it! Ha! How did I forget about this stubble! β
The repeated words in the mouth of the small group fan made Naruto's mind feel like a chaotic thought, as if it had ushered in a sharp blade, and it instantly became clear and swift. Immediately, he nodded his head nervously and excitedly, and muttered to himself as if no one was around in Sasuke's incomprehensible gaze as if no one was around.
"In terms of the ranking of the worst ability to raise children, Uncle Fuyue is also on the list, not inferior to the existence of Uncle Rizu, but recently, hasn't he gradually moved closer to the image of a gentle and kind father?"
"If you calculate it this way, the changes of Uncle Higazu and Uncle Fuyue seem to have one thing in common...... Although they are somewhat narcissistic, their changes are all in harmony with the ontology...... Ahem, it all happened slowly after you got acquainted with me? β
In other words...... Since more than a year ago, I've been unconsciously preparing for this meeting to go on peacefully? β
"In this case, the uncle in front of him is indeed the person who has been enlightened and transformed, and he is undoubtedly not an impostor......?"
"Wait...... If you think about it carefully, it seems quite reasonable...... So what have I been worried about so far?! β
Just as Naruto had in mind...... Although for more than a year, Naruto didn't deliberately remind the two of them to supervise something. But whether it is Naruto, Fugaku, and Hizoku getting along, what they inadvertently forget is that he is now just a child, and he enjoys the fact that the two of them dote on him. is still in front of these two people, and when they get along with Hinata and Sasuke, they show a friendly and warm picture. is enough to quietly, so that the two people who originally care about and pamper their children gradually improve the way they treat children when they get along. So much so that after more than a year has passed, the only one who is now ranked on the list of the least good at taking care of children is probably the fourth-generation Mekazekage Luosha, who is far away in Sand Hidden Village and still treats his youngest son as a monster so far.
Other words......
Although the development of fate, just like the truth that Naruto perceived, is quietly undergoing unpredictable changes because of the various choices and changes made by Naruto.
But if you think about it...... This kind of change, not to say, is all harmful and not beneficial......
And in terms of Naruto's original world proverb, the most appropriate words are...... Good people, good rewards.
"Vortex...... Naruto Uzumaki...... Let people finish talking! You ...... Mixed protein idiot! β
While Naruto was secretly pondering his calculations, the endurance of the small fan was gradually approaching its limit because his words were interrupted by Naruto several times. I saw that Naruto seemed to be deliberately ignoring himself, muttering that he didn't know what he was saying. Suddenly, the table broke through the shackles of reason, so that the corners of his mouth twitched violently, and he roared loudly with grievances and dissatisfaction.
"Having said that, it's obviously all the same race, so what's there to worry about! Could it be that between the two of them, they have to fight to the death, is it normal?! β
"Ahh......h I was thinking about something just now, and I was a little distracted......"
After the doubts in his heart were answered, the vigilance in Naruto's heart also plummeted. And before he completely sobered up, because he heard Sasuke complaining about the angry words that followed, and he didn't want to think about it, so he spread his hands between the instinctive actions of his body, and deliberately made an innocent appearance, and responded and joked casually.
"However, when it comes to clansmen, there will be such a thing as fighting to the death...... In a sense, the second half of what you said, huh...... Actually, it works well with your Uchiha clan ......? β
"Hahββ? What are you nervous about, Naruto! Obviously, what you're worried about this time is the problem of the Hyuga clan, why do you say that it applies to our Uchiha clan! β
The unexpected response made Sasuke deeply stunned. But because he knew in his heart that although Naruto sometimes spoke without a head and no brain, when facing himself, he basically had a basis, and he never fabricated it out of thin air. Instinctively, Sasuke realized that Naruto might not be deliberately slandering and mocking the Uchiha clan, but inadvertently, as if he was talking about something, he accidentally revealed some amazing hidden inside information to himself. After thinking about it for a while, he was about to ask Naruto what was going on.
"Hey, Naruto! What do you mean by that......
"Okay! Little ones, you've been waiting for a long time! This is the tonkotsu barbecued pork ramen you ordered, and it's a special version of Naruto roll with no price increase! β
Thankfully, the curiosity of this small fan was aroused by Naruto's words, and he was ready to continue to inquire about it. Uncle Ichiraku cooked the ramen at hand, but it was just right for no more and no less, and it was completed at this most critical moment. Then when a bowl was handed to the two of them sitting at the front of the counter, they habitually shouted and called, interrupting all the thoughts and words of the small fan.
"Uh-huhββ! Terrible! A lot of Naruto rolls! It looks delicious! β
Like Ninji, Sasuke is a true genius far beyond Naruto when compared to his personal talent after putting aside all the cheats. But after all, he is just a child who is easy to coax and can be easily distracted. Coupled with Uncle Ichiraku's craftsmanship, it is also worthy of the name of the world's top ramen level recognized by Naruto fans. The creamy white soup and the firm hand-rolled ramen noodles are topped with plenty of Naruto rolls and barbecued pork. So much so that when Sasuke heard Uncle Ichiraku's call, his nose fluttered, and after smelling the tempting aroma that penetrated his heart, he instantly threw the doubts and thoughts in his heart out of the clouds.
"I startedββ! Hehe~Ramen, ramen, delicious ramen made by Uncle Ichiraku~"
Faced with the temptation of their favorite food, as a child who puts eating, drinking and playing first, it is natural that they will immediately disarm and surrender with their hands held high. Then he put his palms together in front of him, and hurriedly made a pre-dinner salute. Sasuke pulled closer the delicate porcelain bowl with ramen noodles on his face, and with excitement on his face, he reached for the wooden chopsticks placed next to him, and couldn't wait to start eating as if no one was around.
"Suck and slip...... Whew...... Uh-huh...... Hmmββ! It's delicious! The taste is amazingββ! The ramen made by Uncle Ichiraku is really the best! β
At the moment of the entrance of the ramen, although because of his own gobbling up his own anxious action, the small fan was still a little hot for children, and the ramen was still a little hot, and he opened his mouth and gasped again and again [Wait, it seems that something ......is wrong]. However, after getting used to it a little, I was quickly impressed by the actual deliciousness of the ramen, and I smiled and praised it.
"Wowββ! I can't see it, although you kid is young, but your little mouth is quite sweet......
As a chef, there is nothing more appropriate and powerful to compliment than diners enjoying their dishes with happy faces. And then the eyes that were already squinted are developing more and more towards the trend of squinting into a slit. Uncle Ichiraku happily responded to the teasing, and simply took another delicious barbecued pork with fat and thinness, and spread it directly in Sasuke's bowl.
"Come on, come on, as a reward, Uncle will give you an extra one extra servings of barbecued pork, and it's free!"
Fuyue: For something that is on the top of a certain list...... Even though I'm in the top three in the world, why can't I be happy at all?!
