Chapter 266: Goodbye Kakashi
Inside the Ichiraku ramen stall.
"Purr~~! Snore~~! ”
"Eat Naruto slowly! Eat so fast again! You're not afraid of choking! ”
"Ah~~! It's delicious! Of course, the hot Ichiraku ramen has to be eaten in one sitting! ”
Naruto was satisfied with all the noodle soup in the bowl, then put the empty bowl on the bed, and shouted at Uncle Ichiraku, who was still busy in the noodle stall, "Uncle Ichiraku! Another bowl of ramen! It's the same as before, so I want miso and char siu flavor! ”
"Okay! Naruto, you sit down for a while, and the ramen will be here soon! ”
"Hmmm! Uncle, take your time, don't rush! ”
Although he said that he was not in a hurry, Naruto's eyes were always fixed on the ramen that was churning in the hot pot.
Seeing him so impatient, Qimu Shuohui, who was full of black lines, could only withdraw his gaze speechlessly, focusing on the bowl of ramen in front of him.
"Come on! Naruto! Your miso barbecued pork ramen is ready! Be careful! ”
"Oh good! Thank you, Uncle Yile! ”
Taking the ramen from Uncle Ichiraku's hand, Naruto was impatient to bury his head in the ramen bowl despite being scalded and grinning.
But before he could suck it a few times, a large gloved hand suddenly reached through the curtain of the ramen stall and rubbed it heavily on his head.
For a moment, Naruto, who was disturbed to enjoy Ichiraku ramen, looked annoyed.
He turned his head angrily, but his grumbling words came to an abrupt end in the middle of his sentence.
"Crooked! Who is it! Who touched my head! Didn't you see me eating ramen! Dare to disturb Uncle Ben to eat....... Well? Kakashi-sensei? ”
The moment Naruto turned around, his dull gaze instantly converged on the person in front of him.
The man standing outside the stall was wearing a shinobi vest and a normal ninja suit, and he also wore a mask on his face, but his dazzling silver hair looked a little eye-catching.
This man...... It's Naruto's teacher - Kakashi Hachiki!
"Naruto, why did I see you at the Ichiraku ramen stall again! Do you kid can't live without this for three meals a day? ”
"Card ...... Kakashi-sensei? Why are you here? ”
"Me? Why can't I be here? I've given you a vacation, and of course I'll have to rest myself! The three of you on this squad aren't good students to worry about! Especially you....... Naruto Uzumaki! When you were doing those tasks the other day, did you give me less trouble? ”
Kakashi covered his head, as if the unbearable scene of the previous days had resurfaced in front of him.
He sighed and opened the curtain and walked into the noodle stall, then motioned for Uncle Ichraku to bring him a ramen too.
"Alas! What bad luck...... I finally took a break and wanted to go out for a meal, how could I still run into you? Naruto! ”
"Humph! Kakashi-sensei, do you think I want to see you! You irresponsible teacher! ”
"Huh? Who do you say is irresponsible! Is this the attitude you should have when talking to a teacher? ”
"But Kakashi-sensei, you do...... It's really irresponsible! On average, you can be more than an hour late for the first few days of the mission, and you don't care about us when you perform the mission, you just lie there alone in the sun! And ......."
"Enough! Enough Naruto! Eat noodles...... Eat noodles ......"
Kakashi, who was a little embarrassed by Naruto's words, smiled smirkedly and quickly covered his mouth.
Kakashi then turned around and took two mouthfuls of the noodles that Uncle Iiraku had just served, when he suddenly noticed that there was a man sitting next to Naruto.
"Naruto, is this your friend? I don't think I've seen you interact with him before. ”
"Oooh...... Kakashi-sensei, I forgot to introduce you! ”
Before he could swallow the noodles in his mouth, Naruto couldn't wait to push Hachiki Sakuki in front of Kakashi, and excitedly introduced, "This is the big brother I knew before!" His name is Jian Misumi, and he seems to be ...... It seems to be a ninja of intelligence or something, right? Right, big brother? Brother Jian Meicheng? ”
Although Naruto called repeatedly, at this time, Hachiki Shuohui ignored him, but froze in place.
Looking at Kakashi's faded cheeks, he was in a trance for a moment.
That resolute face is quite similar to the appearance of the eldest brother Qimu Shuomao back then!
Kakashi ...... You've really grown up!
You've become a ninja on your own!
Although your fame is not as great as your father's name of "Konoha White Fang", your reputation as a "copy ninja" has also spread throughout the major ninja villages......
If your father knew, he would be proud of you, right?
Wouldn't it be a pity......
You have not come to your senses and walked the same path as me!
I won't kill you when I confront you in the future, but ...... I'm still going to give you a little bit of the necessary hardship!
Hopefully, these hardships will make you truly wake up and leave this filthy and hypocritical Konoha!
"Brother Jian Meicheng? Brother Jian Meicheng? What are you doing in a daze? This is Kakashi-sensei, the very irresponsible teacher I mentioned to you! ”
"Ah.....? Oh..... Oh...... I'm sorry Kakashi-senpai, I've always heard about your reputation before, and today is the first time I've seen you, so I'm a little out of shape, sorry ......"
Under Naruto's repeated calls, Hachiki Sakuki pretended to come back to his senses and patted Naruto's head apologetically.
"What nonsense Naruto! What an irresponsible teacher! Kakashi-senpai is obviously a well-known elite shinobi, so don't talk nonsense! ”
"What nonsense am I talking about! Kakashi-sensei was already very ......"
"Shut up! One more thing, I'll punish you for running 10 laps more this afternoon! ”
"Good...... All right...... I don't say it......."
Naruto reluctantly closed his mouth and continued to gulp down the ramen in the bowl.
Seeing this, Kakashi could only touch the back of his head and smile awkwardly at Qimu Shuohui.
"Actually...... Actually, I'm really not responsible enough for Naruto's team, and Naruto is not wrong, but I will improve it in the future, you ...... Oh, yes! You're the one Misumi Ken who helped Naruto reclaim the Book of Seals that the three generations said before, right? ”
"Yes, I belong to the Yakushidou squad of the intelligence force, and because I have been on vacation recently, Naruto has begged me to take him to train these days."
"That's right..... Naruto, this kid is really hard to discipline, and it's hard for you...... But his vacation will soon be over, and I'll discipline him myself! ”
Kakashi said as he ate his noodles, and between his words, his face seemed to be a little strange.
It's strange to say, he and this Jian Meicheng are obviously meeting for the first time, but I don't know why...... He could always feel that there was an aura on this Jian Meicheng that he was all too familiar with.
Why...... Why does this guy always give me a sense of déjà vu?
Alas, I guess I'm thinking too much! Three generations of adults have investigated him in such detail, he shouldn't have any problems.......
Could it be that I haven't had a good rest lately, and then I'm cranky?
Forget it, don't think about it so much, let's finish the noodles early and go back to rest! In two days, I'm going to have to accompany Naruto and Sasuke, the two silly boys, again.......
Thinking of this, Kakashi didn't say anything more.
He gulped down the noodles and in the blink of an eye, he ate the ramen in the bowl clean.
He then hurriedly said hello to Hachiki and Naruto and left the stall.
After Kakashi left, Naruto was still bent on the ramen in his bowl, and although Sakuki Hachiki was not abnormal on the surface, his eyes were always focused on Kakashi's departing back.
Kakashi, there will soon be another battle between us!
I don't know if you're now...... To what extent has it been strong?
The reputation of the "Konoha Copy Ninja" ....... I want to be taught, too!
......
