Outside the Ichiraku Ramen Shop, the sky was dark, and the pouring rain poured down on the ground mercilessly.

Inside the Ichiraku Ramen Shop, the light is not particularly bright, but it is warm and bright enough compared to the rainy days outside.

"Goo!"

Little Naruto couldn't walk a little, his whole body was soaked with torrential rain, and there was a shy whisper of hunger in his abdomen.

There was an enticing fragrance coming from the shop next to him, and Naruto couldn't help but approach, but he didn't dare to really go in, just leaning on the door frame, his blue eyes looked inside, full of innocence and a little guard, cold and hungry, he finally mustered up the courage to ask, "Uncle, what are you doing, it's so fragrant." ”

The middle-aged man who was preparing the ingredients turned around, looked at the door with a puzzled expression, and after seeing the person who was questioning, he said secretly: "It's him." ”

The uncle looks ordinary, and his squinting eyes are particularly memorable, perhaps because he is a cook, he is about the same size as all cooks, he looked at little Naruto, and his little eyes flickered a little.

Seeing this, little Naruto quietly moved his steps backwards, and half of his whole body entered the range of the torrential rain again. He was afraid that the uncle in front of him would chase him out and beat him away, so it was better to leave as soon as he found out that something was wrong.

Who knows, the mediocre-looking uncle in front of him, his eyebrows were bent, and he suddenly showed a kind smile to Naruto, and said, "It's ramen, kid, do you want a bowl?" ”

Little Naruto looked at the smile on his uncle's face, and for a moment it seemed that he was no longer so cold and hungry. It was the first time he had seen such a smile on the faces of the people in the village, it was a smile at him, there was no cold eye, no hatred, and the tone was so gentle that a faint mist crept up in Naruto's eyes.

"Come in and sit, kid, it's raining out there." A trace of distress flashed in the squinting eyes of the uncle.

Obviously a hero's child, but ......

Seeing that little Naruto didn't seem to dare to come in, he immediately said to his daughter who was helping him prepare the ingredients, "Caiyi, go and invite the guests in." ”

Saii was just a young girl who was not yet an adult at this time, she glanced at Naruto at the door, immediately put down what she was doing, and ran over to pull Naruto in.

Seeing that Naruto's hair, clothes and pants were all soaked, Saiyi couldn't help but scold: "Little brother, why are you running around outside alone in such a heavy rain?" ”

Although she was scolding, the girl hurriedly took out a dry towel from the store and helped Naruto quickly dry his head, "Look at you, you're all wet." ”

She turned her head to Uncle Hand and asked, "Dad, are the clothes I used to wear when I was a child still there?" ”

Hand nodded his head.

"That's good, little brother, come with me and change into clean clothes." Saii took Naruto's hand, didn't care if Naruto agreed or not, and walked straight to the room.

Little Naruto looked at the two of them in a daze, as if he was stunned, so that he was in a trance the whole process, and there was only one thought in his mind, why would they be so good to him? It's not like everyone else.

After a while, little Naruto, with the help of Saiyi, was wearing the clothes of his childhood, and sat on a stool in the store, his face flushed.

This body seems to be a little wrong, he is still young, and he lives alone, although he knows the difference between men and women, but he only vaguely feels that he is wearing girls' clothes, but he doesn't know why it's wrong.

However, Saii was extremely excited, staring at Naruto with great satisfaction, and felt a great sense of accomplishment.

But thinking of Naruto's appearance before, she couldn't help but say, "Little brother, you haven't said why you want to run outside alone in such a heavy rain, why don't you go home, your family must be worried about you." ”

Saii doesn't seem to know Naruto, and it's no wonder that she has been learning to make ramen with her father since she was a child, rarely going outside the store to play, and she doesn't tell her that she can't play with Naruto like other adults.

So, it was almost the first time she had seen Naruto, and for a boy who was still running around outside on a rainy day, she just thought he was naughty.

"Caiyi, don't ask so much." The hand scolded, and his tone was a little stern.

Hearing this, Caiyi pursed her mouth, aggrieved, and said, "Dad, why are you so fierce, people care about him." ”

Naruto Uzumaki came back to his senses at this time, and his opponent hit the uncle and said, "Uncle, my sister is very good, don't blame her." ”

Then, he showed a very happy smile and said to Caiyi beside him: "I don't have a family, don't worry, sister, no one is worried about me." ”

"Huh?" Caiyi covered her mouth and looked incredulous, "Then you ......"

"Today I wanted to go out to the wild to pick some mushrooms, or catch some fish to cook and eat by myself, but I didn't expect a sudden rainstorm, so I walked alone on the street."

Caiyi's face turned bitter, knowing why her father was so fierce before, it turned out that she asked questions that shouldn't have been asked.

"I'm sorry my sister asked you about your sadness." Saii touched Naruto's head.

Little Naruto was still smiling, "It's okay, I'm used to it for a long time. ”

But Saiyi clearly saw a bit of sadness and loneliness in his azure eyes, and Caiyi continued to touch Naruto's head and said, "You are really strong, you must come to my sister if you have anything in the future." ”

"Hmm!" Naruto nodded heavily.

Suddenly, there was a "cooing" sound in his stomach again, this time so loud that even the hand beating of Caiyi next to him, who was busy preparing the ingredients, could be heard very clearly.

Naruto's face turned even redder, his little eyes stared nervously at Uncle Hand Hit, and sniffed a few times, "By the way, Uncle, what is ramen?" ”

He really didn't know what ramen was, because he had never eaten it before.

Saii touched Naruto's hand and couldn't help but pause, "Haven't you ever eaten ramen?" ”

Nodding again, Naruto hunched his neck, feeling a little embarrassed.

Uncle Hand just brought a large bowl and put it in front of Naruto, and said to Naruto with a smile, "This is ramen, eat it, kid." ”

Looking at the bowl bigger than his head, which was full of food, Naruto couldn't help but swallow his saliva, "So this is ramen, it's so hearty." ”

Caiyi's heart suddenly hurt a little, her own family knows about her family, and their ramen is the cheapest food in Konoha Village, but the child in front of her has never eaten it, and she feels extremely uncomfortable just thinking about it.

"Haha, don't be stupid, eat it." She said to Naruto.

Little Naruto still didn't make a move, but looked at the colorful clothes and the uncle with his hands wide open, and said timidly: "Uncle, sister, but I don't have that much money." ”

The lively girl seemed to have completely lost her usual liveliness, her beautiful big eyes were a little moist, and she said, "Don't worry, you don't need to give money, eat quickly." ”

"But ......"

"It's nothing, my sister invites you to eat, is it okay?"

Little Naruto glanced at Uncle Shouda, and suddenly smiled: "Child, eat, if you really don't want to go, then owe it first, and pay it back when you have money in the future, I believe you will definitely pay it back." ”

"It's not just today's bowl, you can come anytime you want to eat ramen, you can owe it first, and after you become a ninja, it's not too late to pay it slowly, I'm sure you will become a ninja!"

Little Naruto's eyes widened, then he quickly lowered his head, a tear sliding down his face like rain outside the store.

Why, do they have to be so nice to themselves?

Little Naruto bit his lip desperately to keep himself from crying, and after a while, he choked up, "Thank you...... Uncle and sister, then...... I'm moving! ”
