Chapter 12: First Meeting, Uchiha Itachi!

The flag of "Ichiraku Ramen" is unfurled in front of the ramen stall and is blown by the whirring night wind.

The distant moon shines softly in the sky, illuminating the streets of Konoha. Through the moonlight and lights, two five-year-olds gulped ramen in front of the ramen stall.

Halfway through, Naruto leaned back in his chair contentedly and rubbed his belly, the imp even his mustache fluttering comfortably in the night breeze. "Ahh

"It's so delicious...... After eating a bowl of ramen, I felt like I had come back after an afternoon of exhaustion......"

"It's really good......"

Su Zeying also drank the noodle soup in one gulp, feeling as if she was soaking in a hot spring, and her whole body was full of warm feelings.

He laughed, squinting slightly, looking like an old man leaning against the edge of the wall basking in the sun compared to Naruto, with a natural sense of age, a strong contrast to Su Zeying's youthful appearance, even childish.

"Hmm...... However, this ramen is indeed delicious, and it is a rare delicacy, so it's no wonder that Naruto likes to eat at Ichiraku Ramen the most...... I don't know what the secret recipe of the boss of Yile is......"

The soul from the Great Foodie Empire is stirring, and there is a strong desire to explore. It's the nature of an old eater.

Su Zeying's eyes were filled with doubt.

"Hey-Naruto, how is it, my ramen is good, right?"

The owner of Ichiraku Ramen, the uncle in white, looked at the two children from behind the counter with a hand and smiled at Naruto.

"Yes! Uncle's ramen here is the best in all Konoha! ”

Naruto smiled happily.

Su Zeying curled her lips slightly. I thought to myself with some amusement:

"This ...... Is it the most hidden boss in the legendary Hokage, the ramen boss who is nicknamed 'Otsuki Ichiraku' by Naruto fans? ”

"Haha!"

"Uncle, when I have money in the future, I will definitely eat here for three days and three nights!"

"Oops...... Naruto, if you like ramen, Uncle can actually provide it for free......"

"Hmm...... But I can't accept my uncle's gift for nothing......"

Su Zeying sat on the sidelines, listening to the warm but unnutritious conversation between Uncle Handbang and Naruto, sighed, and smiled.

To be honest, this hand-made ramen owner was indeed a little unexpected. You know, in this village, except for the ninja family, most of the civilians actually don't want to see Naruto Uzumaki. However, the ramen boss was full of warmth for Naruto and looked like he cared about an ordinary child.

"No wonder Naruto likes this ramen shop...... It turns out that in addition to the delicious food, the owner of this shop is also an important reason......

Su Zeying thought silently.

He turned his face to the outside of the store and silently looked at the streets of Konoha.

The moonlight poured straight down from the sky, illuminating the path that no pedestrian had passed, as it had been for thousands of years.

And in the ramen shop, Naruto and Uncle Teda laughed loudly, and the voice was extremely loud, causing the boss's daughter Calamus to start complaining, and the voices of several people were mixed up, filling the world with fireworks.

In the spotless light, Su Zeying only glimpsed a corner of Konoha, but it was this corner that gave him an incomparably peaceful feeling.

"This tranquility...... Let's hope it goes on forever......"

Su Zeying silently came up with such an idea in his heart.

But he knew it was just an extravagant hope.

Su Zeying looked at the Hokage Mansion in the center of Konoha, and then at the side of Konoha at the station of the "Konoha Garrison" with the Uchiha Fan Clan Emblem, and smiled.

……

In the Hokage's office, Moonlight Bliest, who had always looked malnourished, reported to the Hokage on one knee about his actions today, and said about his training with Naruto this afternoon:

“…… That's all I did with Naruto...... If Hokage-sama doesn't think it's okay, I'll stop teaching the human pillar force. ”

Moonlight Wind said respectfully.

"No, you're doing a good job."

A smile spread across the faces of the three generations of Hokage.

"Just do it......"

"Naruto, that kid...... He's been lonely for too long—having Su Zeying as a friend, and having your teachings, will not only strengthen his strength, but also strengthen his bond with the village. Just do it! ”

"Yes, Hokage-sama!"

Moonlight bent down to receive the command.

Then step back.

……

Soon, Su Zeying and Naruto finished their ramen and said goodbye at the street entrance.

"Naruto, see you tomorrow!"

"Ying-let's continue tomorrow!"

Waving his hand at Naruto, who had a happy smile on his face, Su Zeying, who was smiling, shrugged his shoulders and walked in the direction of home in the moonlight.

As he walked, he thought:

"Naruto, that guy...... Today must be a great day for him! ”

As soon as he thought of this, the curvature of Su Zeying's lips couldn't help but increase a little.

Although his body was still full of pain, his heart was full of excitement.

"After a day of training, I feel that my life has been fulfilled a lot!"

"Hehe......"

Su Zeying walked with steps, and turned up his hero panel:

"XP: 54/500."

"I remember...... Just yesterday, my experience was 53/500...... After a hard day, do you actually have a little more experience points? ”

"That's really good-it seems that just through my usual practice, maybe I can make up enough experience points to level up......"

"Killing poultry and wild animals only has a few tenths of an experience point, and Konoha doesn't have a slaughterhouse, but the pasture is a little ...... And now it seems that if you want to level up, it is estimated that you need to kill people and kill ninjas to get enough experience points, but the current age is far from the point where you can go to the front line to go on a mission......"

"It comes down to age, age...... But fortunately, the plot hasn't started for a few years, and Konoha has been calm - I just used my hard work in the past few years to accumulate experience points, and at the same time improve my physical skills and chakra......"

Having made up her mind in her heart and making a plan for the future, Su Zeying's steps were a little brisker. He smiled and was about to turn an intersection, when he saw a man—no, a teenager.

Wearing Uchiha's clothes, the one with a fan embroidered on the back, and two deep lines under his eyes, he looked extremely handsome, and walked with his head bowed with a gentle smile.

Seeing this young man, the original vague plot memory resurfaced in his mind, and Su Zeying suddenly felt a chill in his heart:

"He's ......"

"Uchiha Itachi?!"

Su Zeying's heart suddenly stopped.

"Huh?"

Itachi Uchiha noticed his presence.

At this time, Uchiha Itachi, who had already entered the shadows, walked up to Su Zeying's side, smiled gently, and lowered his head:

"Little friend...... It's so late—go home quickly......",

"Hmmm......"

Su Zeying replied sneeringly.

"Huh...... What a funny kid......"

Uchiha Itachi smiled, probably thinking of his younger brother, and his eyes softened.

He straightened up and walked in the direction of the Uchiha family.

Su Zeying stood in place in a daze, looking at his figure, he suddenly exhaled a breath, which instantly became cool in the night breeze.

"Whew...... What a horrible person......"

He lowered his gaze slightly, retracted the innocent eyes that had just been disguised, and turned around.

The previous fiery mood had completely disappeared, and he walked silently with his head bowed, while thinking back to Uchiha Itachi's previous eyes, and unconsciously his heart was full of chills:

"That look...... That kind of look ......"

It seems to be like a gentle wind, and like a cold knife light! Incomparably hot, incomparably cold eyes!

Probably only when he is alone, or when he faces an ignorant young child like Su Zeying, he will have such eyes!

"Sure enough...... Pure idealists - crazy people who are terrible! ”

Su Zeying unconsciously had cold sweat on his back.
