Time always slips away inadvertently, and in the blink of an eye, the March period has passed, and Lei Bin is about to be released from prison after completing his sentence.

In front of the exit of the prison, the two brothers of the wind god and thunder god hugged Lei Bin and cried.

"Woo woo woo~~ Brother Mizuki, we can't bear you!" "Woo~~ Yes, if you leave, we won't have anything to eat!" ”

"Well, I'm very touched that you came to see me off, but can you not say anything about food?" Lei Bin was speechless, "Can't you just let me leave with emotion?" Sure enough, I still can't expect anything from you. ”

"Haha! They are white-eyed brothers, only for food! The prison guard next to him laughed.

"But it's a meeting anyway, and they helped me a lot. If possible, try to give them as much food as possible at each meal. Lei Bin sincerely pleaded with the prison guards, "Please don't worry about the cost, I will often come to visit them and pay for the meal." ”

As he spoke, Lei Bin took out a large handful of banknotes from his pocket and handed them to the prison guards, using them to pay for the extra meals that the wind god Thor had eaten recently.

He was about to be released from prison, and the prison guards returned all the items he had brought with him before he entered prison. The predecessor Mizuki originally planned to grab the "Book of Seals" and run away, so he took all his savings with him, probably more than 200,000 taels, Lei Bin took out 200,000 taels, and only a few thousand taels were left in his pocket.

"Brother Mizuki, don't worry, we will definitely take good care of the Wind God and Thunder God!" The prison guard happily took the banknote and packed it with a mouthful of tickets.

Lei Bin was noncommittal, knowing that most of the money was estimated to be embezzled by the prison guards, but this was a transaction, and the prison guards should be given some benefits. He is not afraid that the prison guards will be greedy for money, and the god of wind and thunder doesn't care about other things, and is extremely sensitive when it comes to food. They would be furious if they knew that their food had been withheld, and the prison guards would make them something delicious to appease them.

A shadow ninja appeared and removed the shackles from Lei Bin's hands and feet. As soon as the restrictions were gone, the long-lost chakra fluctuations appeared on Lei Bin, but it was only a flash, and Lei Bin didn't want others to discover his true strength.

"Seriously, Brother Mizuki, I've been guarding the prison for so many years, and you're the first to be released from prison after such a short period of imprisonment." The prison guards seemed to sigh very much. In the Konoha Ninja Village, except for the major crime of betraying the village, there is generally no death penalty, and all other crimes are fixed-term imprisonment, after all, ninja labor is precious, but it is indeed rare to have a sentence of only three months like Lei Bin.

"Huh!" Lei Bin smiled and didn't explain anything, and said a few words of farewell to the Wind God and Thunder God brothers, and then left Konoha Prison with the shadows.

The masked shadow ninja was silent along the way, and Lei Bin had no intention of talking to him. After walking for more than half an hour, leaving the mining area and arriving near the Konoha Forest, the Shadow Ninja said to Lei Bin: "Further ahead is near Konoha Village, you can go by yourself, you are free." ”

Hearing the word "freedom", Lei Bin didn't know what he thought, and his expression was a little dazed. After a long while, he sighed and said to the Shadow Ninja, "Thank you! ”

The Shadow Ninja didn't say anything, but continued, "But Captain Ibiki asked me to tell you, please don't leave Konoha Village in the near future. ”

Knowing that this was Mori Nai Biki who didn't trust himself, Lei Bin nodded and said, "Understood." ”

After the dark ninja finished delivering the message, he left in an instant, and Lei Bin shrugged his shoulders and quickly ran towards Konoha Village.

After a short time, Lei Bin entered Konoha Village. Although the name of Konoha Village is "Village", the actual size is about the same as a small county town, because the Fire Country is the most powerful and abundant in the ninja world, and the trade of Konoha Village is also extremely prosperous. Walking in the bustling downtown area, Lei Bin has a feeling of being suddenly separated from the world. In fact, time has indeed passed for as long as a lifetime, and such a lively and prosperous scene has been seen in the previous life.

Being in the downtown area, Lei Bin felt lonely, as if he was out of place with his surroundings. He has nowhere to go and doesn't know what to do at this time, and his crimes have not been announced in Konoha Village, and he is still a middle ninja. It's just that the ninja school can't go back, and no matter how generous the three generations are, it's impossible for him to continue to be a teacher. And his ninja squad back then had long since been disbanded, and he became an idler at this time. The former Mizuki's residence had always been the school of the ninja school, and now he can't go back, and he doesn't even have a place to live. Fortunately, I brought all the important things with me, and I didn't have anything to do if I couldn't go back.

After wandering around for a while, Lei Bin felt a hint of hunger and planned to eat. But there are only a few thousand taels in my pocket, and I can't afford to eat a big meal. Suddenly, he thought of a delicacy, smiled slightly, and walked to the small shop that he remembered the way he remembered, which was a ramen restaurant with a resounding name: Ichiraku Ramen.

That's right, it's the noodle restaurant where Naruto, the protagonist of the original book, likes to eat ramen, and it's also a small shop that Konoha civilian ninjas often visit.

When I walked into the Ichiraku Ramen shop, I heard a beautiful voice, "Welcome to Ichiraku Ramen!" ”。

"Miss Calamus, long time no see!" Lei Bin smiled and greeted Ichiraku, the young lady who is the pearl of Uncle Ichiraku, the owner and chef of Ichiraku Ramen, and the goddess in the hearts of many civilian ninjas, known as the most beautiful seasoning of "Ichiraku Ramen".

"Hey, you're it?" Calamus hesitated, her eyes swept over Lei Bin's iconic silver hair, and she suddenly realized: "Oh, it's Mr. Mizuki!" You haven't been here in months, and I barely recognized you! ”

"I went on a mission outside the village, and I just came back." Lei Bin explained with a smile.

"Oh, no wonder!" Calamus said yes, but there was a little strange in her heart, because the "Mizuki" in front of her was very different from the one in her memory.

The predecessor Mizuki was an ambitious hypocrite, always with a smirk on his face, and his association with others was purposeful, so Calamus didn't have a good impression of him. However, today's Mizuki reveals a peaceful temperament from the inside out, and he also has a heartfelt smile on his face, which makes people feel good at first sight. If it weren't for the fact that her face hadn't changed much, Iris'd thought it was a different person. (I also have to admire Ichiraku's sixth sense as a woman, and almost guessed the truth.) ）

"What do Mizuki-san want to eat today?" Calamus asked with a smile.

"It's been a long time since I've tasted the craftsmanship of Uncle Hand Fighting, so I must eat more today!" Lei Bin responded with a smile, "Let's start with a big bowl of seafood ramen." ”

"Okay, a bowl of seafood ramen!" Calamus shouted loudly, delivering a message to Uncle Teda, who was in the store.

"Hey, you're here so early today?" Calamus's father beat the uncle out of the shop, "Oh, it's Mizuki! You haven't been here for about three months, and I heard from Iruka that you're out of the village on a mission. How's it going, is the mission still going well? ”

Hearing the name Iruka frequently, Lei Bin felt a little strange in his heart, but his face was not obvious, he looked at the uncle with a kind hand and smiled: "Thanks to you, everything is going well." ”

"That's good. But you're too, don't do it with a good teacher, and deflect back to being a mission-type ninja. Uncle Hand Punch seemed to be a little incomprehensible, "It's been a few months, and people have lost weight." ”

"Thank you for your uncle's concern!" Lei Bin said gratefully, "But I'm still young, and I can't just stay in Konoha Village for the rest of my life. In the past two years, the village has received more and more tasks, and we still need to contribute more. ”

"That's what Iruka said," Uncle Hand said, shaking his head, "No wonder you're good friends, and your tone is pretty much the same." ”

"Iruka has a talent for teaching more than me, but he didn't say as a teacher, I can't do it, I have been a teacher for several years and I can't turn it into a regular teacher, it seems that there is no future." Lei Bin sighed, "Let's go back to do tasks while you're young, and see if you can get a special title of forbearance in your lifetime." ”

"Also, young people still need to be self-motivated." Uncle Hand nodded in agreement, "However, you are also not a small one, so you should think about setting a date to hold the wedding with Tsubaki." You've also been engaged for years, and it's time to start a family. ”

It was another name with a deep imprint in his memory, and the strange feeling in Lei Bin's heart became more and more obvious.

"Hmm!" Lei Bin nodded, "When I came back this time, I wanted to marry Tsubaki." ”

"Good!" Uncle Hand laughed and said, "I'm just waiting to drink your wine." ”

"I'll let you know when the time comes!"

"Okay, that's it! What did you just order? ”

Calamus reminded on the side: "Dad, Mr. Mizuki ordered a large bowl of seafood ramen just now, why did you forget?" ”

"Haha! When you're old, you don't have a good memory! Uncle Hand hit laughed and said, "It's rare to be happy today, Uncle is in a treat today!" I'll give you two big bowls in a moment, and I'll eat them! ”

"Then thank you, uncle!" Lei Bin was overjoyed. Yile ramen is affordable, and a large portion of seafood ramen costs 200 taels, and for Lei Bin, who is now a little struggling, adding a big bowl for free can be regarded as saving money.

As he spoke, Uncle Hand turned around to make ramen, and the ramen was skillful, and the ramen took shape quickly.

"Daddy, really! It's always so generous, and the profit of the small store is not high. The calamus on the side muttered a few words in a low voice, and the uncle was hospitable, often adding more food to the guests, so that the already thin shop could not make any money at all.

"Hehe, Miss Calamus, please add a little whitebait and a bottle of soju." Calamus said very quietly, but Lei Bin heard it, and asked for something to eat quietly.

"Okay, right away!" When the iris heard this, a smile immediately bloomed. Generally, the majority of the restaurant's profit is alcohol, and Lei Bin can make more money by ordering a soju.

After a short time, Uncle Handa brought two large portions of seafood ramen.

Lei Bin leaned over to the bowl and took a deep breath, only to feel a fresh fragrance coming to his face, but there was no fishy smell. It shows that the hand-beaten uncle has excellent cooking skills, and the seafood in the ramen soup is well handled, retaining all the umami but removing the fishy smell. Pick up a wisp of ramen noodles with chopsticks and put it in your mouth and chew it slowly, the noodles are chewy, flexible and chewy, once chewed, the fragrance of the flour mixed with the fresh and sweet taste of seafood fills the mouth, and then take a sip of soup, the umami deepens, and the heart is filled with a sense of satisfaction, it is really delicious!

Lei Bin's appetite was aroused, so he ate it in a big gulp, and after a while, two large bowls of seafood ramen were swallowed.

Putting down the dishes and chopsticks, Lei Bin sighed with satisfaction, "Uncle Hand Fighting's craftsmanship is really superb, and the ramen is super delicious!" ”

Lei Bin was also a pastry master in his previous life, a seven-star chef certified by the reincarnation space, but he didn't think he had this skill. From this point of view, Uncle Yiraku is really worthy of being known as the "big boss behind the scenes of the Naruto world", and with this ramen technique alone, he definitely has more than eight stars of skills, and his strength is really "unfathomable"!

While Lei Bin was eating noodles, Calamus also brought blanched soju and a plate of small whitebait. After eating the ramen, Lei Bin was already a little full, but he couldn't help but drink some more wine. Take a sip of shochu and eat a bite of crunchy whitebait, too!

Just as Lei Bin was drinking alone, a man walked into the shop and heard Ilamus say, "Welcome to Ichiraku Ramen!" Hey, it's Mr. Iruka, we just talked to Mr. Mizuki about you, and it's a coincidence that you're here! ”

"Oh, little Iruka!" Uncle Hand also turned to look at the visitor, and a smile appeared on his face again, "Come and see, who is back!" ”

"Mizuki?! Are you really? You...... You, back? The man asked behind Lei Bin, his tone very surprised.

Lei Bin turned his head and saw that the person who came was wearing a Konoha style ninja uniform, with an ordinary face, dark skin, and a thin scar across his cheeks and nose on his face, which was the famous "Konoha Teacher" Umino Iruka in the original book.

"Well, I just came back." As he spoke, Lei Bin raised the soju in his hand and said with a smile: "I ordered wine, let's drink some together?" ”

Seeing the hearty smile of "Mizuki" in front of him, Iruka looked a little surprised and incredulous, and after a while, he also smiled and said, "Okay! ”
