Naruto, who was in the Sand Hidden Village, was annoyed and regretful when he learned of the Shadow Clone's decision to "make his own decisions". "Naruto", who is far away in the Konoha Ninja Village, also obtained the memory of the main body because of the arrival of a fixed interactive memory time. Immediately, like the main body, I secretly felt embarrassed for a while.

"When changes are made, the progress and development of history will not go exactly according to the plan in mind...... Tsk, I should have thought of that. It's okay now, it looks like I've poked a basket into the body again......"

Quietly muttering to himself in his heart, the superb acting skills he had cultivated since he was a child did not change the expression on Naruto's face in the slightest. After thinking about the gains and losses, compared to the paradoxical approach of calling the Japanese foot but not letting the two of them contact too much. Naruto would rather believe that there was still a glimmer of hope in the fact that the two were back together. So he didn't stop anything, but let Ning Ci look around, and found the slightly nervous back of Rizu.

"Day...... Hinata...... Hizoku adults......"

And from Ning Ci's intermittent exclamation full of disbelief. Even if he doesn't have this heavy identity as the pillar force of the Nine Lamas, he has gained a special ability that can keenly perceive all malice. Naruto could also get out of Ninji's pursed lips, the muscles of his cheeks trembling violently, and his fists clenched firmly. It was easy to speculate - Ning Ci at this moment must not be so flattered that he couldn't speak clearly. Instead, while secretly gritting his teeth, because of the significant strength gap between himself and Rizu, as well as the restrictions of the caged bird seal, he desperately endured the monstrous killing intent and hatred in his heart.

From the innocent and innocent appearance of a child before, to the hatred and hatred of killing Hizuki with an eye knife...... Just because of the appearance of Hinazu, what was shown in front of Naruto could almost be said to be an astonishing change in the judgment of the two. Naruto couldn't help but feel uncertain about whether the two of them could take advantage of this meeting opportunity to directly resolve the misunderstanding and reconcile their self-confidence, and began to further shake their confidence.

"Well, forget it, let's treat a dead horse as a live horse doctor...... It's all come to the point, and you can only bite the bullet. ”

Thinking of this made Naruto's heart feel more and more frustrated and helpless, and in order to calm Ningji's emotions that were about to get out of control as much as possible, he had to try to maintain a gentle smile on his face. Immediately, he raised his hand on tiptoe and patted Ning Ci's shoulder, calling his consciousness back to the real world from hatred and confusion. While stretching out his free other hand, he tugged at Ningji's sleeve so that he could lead the person half-forcibly into the door of Ichiraku Ramen before Ningji chose to retreat and leave.

"What are you doing outside? Go in and sit? It just so happened that some diners had just finished eating and left, leaving a vacant seat. If you don't move quickly, you'll have to wait for more than half a day! ”

"It's another big day...... Is that guy calculated...... It's no wonder that the two of them weren't worried at all when they cut the queue earlier......"

Just as Naruto thought, after regaining consciousness, Ninji finally confirmed that he was calculated from Naruto's somewhat wrong words. It's even because of the hatred in his heart.,All kinds of things that were found wrong before.,All the things that were wrong.。 Then his brows furrowed, and he was about to wave his hand to shake off Naruto's confinement and leave no more.

"How...... How so? Move...... Can't move?! ”

However, it was only at this time that Ning Ci unexpectedly discovered ...... No matter how hard he pulled out, Naruto's palm, which seemed to be thin and thin, immature and harmless, was like copper cast in iron, and it never wavered in the slightest!

"Do you mean...... Is this guy's strength far above mine? For his age, this ...... How is this possible! ”

From my own experience, I came up with a truth that was far beyond the scope of the unexpected. The eyes that made Ningji look at Naruto also began to become more and more strange from the contempt and disdain at the beginning. So much so that by the time Ninji came back to his senses, he was already in a daze, and was dragged by Naruto into the door of Ichiraku Ramen's shop, and sat down next to Hinata Hinata Hinata .

"Whew, good luck, successfully avoided Ning Ci's direct exit...... If you look like this, can you consider it a successful first step......? ”

And after pressing Ninji to sit down next to Hizo, Naruto also took a small fan and moved away a little. After a few seats apart from the two of them, Fang slowly sat down nervously. Immediately, it was not only to hide the nervousness in his heart, but also to have an extra excuse to stay in Ningci. Naruto didn't wait for Ninji to retort something, and shouted at Uncle Ichiraku, who was busy behind the counter, sweating profusely.

"Hey, Uncle Yile! Here we go again! ”

"Next guest ...... Oh——! It's Naruto! Welcome, welcome, welcome. ”

After hearing the footsteps of the guests putting down the dishes and chopsticks and getting up to leave, Uncle Ichiraku lifted the towel hanging around his neck and wiped the fine beads of sweat from his forehead to prevent the sweat from dripping into the carefully cooked secret broth and affecting the taste of the ramen. While he habitually grabbed a ball of dough because he heard someone calling him, and was about to throw it down to cook, he subconsciously turned his head sideways to follow the reputation. It wasn't until he saw that the owner of the voice was Naruto that he stopped his skillful movements. Then he squinted and smiled thoughtfully, carefully observing Naruto's figure, and continued with a doting and gentle voice.

"Uh-huh...... Naruto, it looks like you've been going through something bad lately, little one? Compared to the last time I came, this time my spirit is obviously not very full! What do you think? Why don't you have a bowl of super delicious ramen to refresh yourself? ”

"Uh-huh——! It's really Uncle Yile! You've guessed it again! ”

Despite his many visits, Naruto also had a keen ability to observe people's hearts with Uncle Ichiraku, and he knew it well. But after hearing that the person in front of him just looked at him a few more times, and pointed out the problem from his stiff face with a forced smile, it still made Naruto's heart beat for a while. Immediately, while pretending to be worshipful, he exclaimed in surprise, and quietly took a deep breath to calm the strange emotions in his heart. While raising his head, as if he had begun to seriously think about choosing because of Uncle Yiraku's proposal, he grinned and took over the conversation and responded.

"Hmph, of course! It's already here, so you must have to try Uncle Ichiraku's ramen! ”

"Haha! That's right, that's just like you, Naruto! ”

After hearing Naruto's remarks that seemed to be reinvigorated, Uncle Ichiraku resumed his movements. Immediately, as if he had made a discovery, he quietly adjusted the amount of dough in his hand to be put into the pot. After putting the noodles in the pot, although he asked out loud, he prepared the ingredients and soup base according to Naruto's usual preferences.

"So, what are you going to eat today?"

"Hmm, let me see...... This time, I want three bowls of ramen! Two of the bowls are tonkotsu barbecued pork ramen, and add more Naruto rolls! ”

"Okay! Tonkotsu barbecued pork ramen for two! ”

And just as Uncle Ichiraku had thought, after less than thirty seconds of the dough being in the pot, Naruto made his decision. And then Naruto grinned greatly, and the type of ramen he chose was exactly what Uncle Ichiraku had at hand! While making the speed of ramen preparation invisibly and quietly reduced a lot, it also allowed Uncle Yile to free up his free time, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked curiously.

"Still, three bowls...... Looks like that kid over there is your new friend, right? ”

"Hmm, new friends or something...... I'd love to say that, but he probably hasn't seen me as a friend yet......"

After hearing Uncle Ichiraku's curious questioning, Naruto shrugged his shoulders slightly and spread his hands, pretending to be aggrieved and replied. Secretly, he pretended to be inadvertent, and glanced at the two people not far away, who still had not tried to break the deadlock. And in addition to feeling a headache, I wanted to cry in my heart and complained without tears.

"Or will Ning Ci probably think that I teamed up with Uncle Rizu to deceive him, and then took his anger on me? Saying...... You two, are you playing one, two, three, wooden people?! It's a relative of the same ancestor, shouldn't the relationship be so stiff and cold, hey......"

"Really...... So, I wish you little ones to become true friends soon......"

In order to maintain the business of a ramen shop for a long time, in addition to having a superb cooking skill that is unparalleled in the world, the ability to read words and colors is also essential. And then let Uncle Ichiraku follow the corner of Naruto's quietly deflected eyes, and notice the uncle and nephew duo sitting in the corner to fight a cold war. Without moving, his face naturally asked and urged.

"By the way, Naruto, there are quite a few guests waiting in the back...... So, what type of ramen are you going to order for this third bowl of ramen? ”

And Naruto seems to be a big grin, but in fact, he is as delicate as the essence of a human spirit. How could I not know, it seems that for the sake of the customers waiting in the rear, Uncle Yile is in a hurry to urge. In fact, he was deliberately helping, wanting Naruto to intervene justifiably and break the deadlock between the two?

"Huh? Yes? Yes! That's right! Ahem! There is also a bowl of ...... Alas......"

After hearing Uncle Ichiraku's abrupt question, Naruto was only stunned for a moment, and then quickly reacted to the meaning. Then he blinked his eyes and threw a grateful look at Uncle Yile. While muttering in an incomprehensible manner, he slowly turned his head sideways and looked at Ning Ci, who had always been silent.

"That, Ning Ci ......? Hey, Ningci! What kind of flavor do you like about ramen? ”

“…… Well? ”

At the same time, because the atmosphere between him and Rizu was too solemn and stiff, and the other party never planned to say anything, Ning Ci had already secretly wondered whether he should leave just now. Immediately, after hearing the continuous call of Naruto, who "inadvertently" broke the deadlock, although because Naruto was "at the behest of Hinazu", he deceived himself. But for the sake of making a bet with him, he didn't care too much about angering Naruto. Instead, after a little look at the menu on the table, he resisted the desire to leave his seat and go home directly, and responded casually without care.

"Taste? It all looks pretty much the same...... So, let's have a slightly heavier soy sauce ramen. Ah, can you put some herring fillet? ”

"Okay! Two servings of tonkotsu barbecued pork ramen, plus more Naruto rolls! One serving of soy sauce ramen and more herring fillet! ”

Almost at the moment when Ning Ci's words fell, Uncle Yile, who had been waiting, shouted loudly to repeat the menu so that the three of them could confirm that the type of order was correct, and at the same time, he turned around and lowered his head again, and began to get busy skillfully. From beginning to end, he didn't say a word more.

After all, among the four people present [including Hinatum], Uncle Ichiraku is more familiar with only Naruto, and the little fan who often follows Naruto to eat ramen. And for Rizu and Ning Ci, the awkward uncle and nephew in the Cold War...... Well, it's better to make your own ramen honestly and leave this mess to Naruto to deal with.

"It still seems that there is little hope, but at least, there is a topic to talk about...... Thanks, Uncle Yile, what a great help! ”

Of course, knowing what Uncle Ichiraku had done was already considered to be benevolent, and Naruto didn't ask for anything too much. Immediately, while secretly thanking himself in his heart, he took advantage of the situation to completely shift and calibrate his gaze, keeping it in a state of staying on Ning Ci. After a pause, he smiled and tentatively began to talk to someone.

"That...... Heavier mouth, herring fillet...... Do you prefer to eat irritating foods? Ningci ...... Anyway, What does herring fillet taste like? I haven't eaten it yet, can you tell me about it? ”

“…… Isn't it normal to have a slightly stronger taste...... If the flavor of the noodles is too light, it will be difficult to swallow. ”

Taking advantage of the convenience of opening his eyes, Ninji easily noticed that Naruto's eyes were full of worry and apprehension between his words, and he would always wander around his body and Hinata from time to time. Immediately, it was somewhat guessed that Naruto was deliberately looking for a topic in order not to be so silent between himself and Hinazu any longer. made him a little curious, and Hizoku did not hesitate to even hire Naruto, an "innocent" child, as a helper, to call himself to this ramen restaurant this time, but what kind of ghost idea was he had, so that Ningji was silent for a moment, but he was happy to continue with Naruto's topic.

"As for the taste of herring fillet......

"Hey, hey! There's a play! It seems that Ning Ci's mood has gradually stabilized! ”

Seeing the cold look on Ninji's face gradually softening between his words, Naruto secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time, he couldn't help but start to get excited.

"Next, as long as the operation process is careful, there will be no accidents, maybe it can really ease the ...... between this uncle and nephew!"

However, there is a way that the higher you fly, the harder you fall...... Naruto is still underestimated in the end, how bad is Hinata who is not good at taking care of children......

Just when Naruto secretly thought in his heart that things were going in a good direction...... A whisper comparable to a demon's whisper, which made Naruto feel angina, appeared in this small noodle restaurant out of thin air.

"Those eyes of yours...... Have you already opened your eyes, Ning Ci ......"

"It's a ...... Son of the day ......"
