Chapter Twenty-Six: The First Step of the Dream

"Boss, let's have three dumplings."

Yayoi Kazuho pulled back the curtain and shouted at the boss behind the counter.

The boss gestured with a no-brainer.

The two of them are frequent customers of this meatball shop, and usually, when they are hungry, they often eat a few strings of balls after school before going to practice.

Yayoi still remembers the dream that Flame had spoken out about.

"I'm going to eat all the balls in the ninja world."

The girl who always smiled in my memory is now beside me.

"Flame's dream has come true."

Yayoi held her chin and said suddenly.

"Yes, but next time I'm going to eat the dumplings in the capital of the Fire Country."

Flame stretched out a small finger to his lips, thought about it, and suddenly seemed to have a goal for the next step.

"The Land of Fire?"

Yayoi also remembered the order of this world, with the daimyo in charge of the economy and the ninja village in charge of the military.

The daimyo is high up as an ordinary person, and the ninja is not producing, but it is a high-paying profession.

Ordinary people are barely able to make ends meet, and this is still in a prosperous area.

"After we become ninjas, it won't be easy to go to the country.

And there is also the threat of war, and if you want to go to the national capital, you may have to wait until the war is over. ”

Yayoi's gaze diverged, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Then wait until the war is over, Yayoi-kun, and let's ask the Hokage for an escort mission together."

Flame seemed to be able to think of what it would be like for them to go to the capital of the Fire Nation together after the war.

I heard that there are a wide variety of goods there, and all kinds of merchants gather there, and even Konoha is not as prosperous as Konoha.

"Of course"

Naturally, Yayoi would not refuse Flame's request.

"Flame, you say, can we enter the land of fire?"

"Does Yayoi-kun want to be a daimyo?"

Flame seemed a little surprised.

You must know that in the perception of ninjas, replacing the daimyo has never been considered.

"Perhaps, I can be the one behind the Daimyo."

"The person behind the daimyo, Yayoi-kun, is he going to be a guest?"

"No, it's higher than that, if there's a day, Flame is going to come and help me."

Yayoi turned her head and looked at the flames.

"Of course"

The tone of speech that should have come out of Flame's mouth, and a gentle breeze came and blew the girl's hair.

Both laughed.

At this time, the dumplings also came up.

Yayoi picked up a string of three-color dumplings, blew on them, and handed the balls to Flame's mouth.

As soon as you bite into it, the sweet and savory meatballs bloom with a sweet fragrance in your taste buds.

Looking at the gluttonous flame, Yayoi quietly watched him look at his greedy appearance.

The crisp birdsong lingered briefly in the sky, and the light of the sun sprinkled on the purple hair of the flame shawl.

War is approaching, but youth must not be disappointed.

...........

"It's them"

Rin, who was walking down the street and was about to buy something to eat, suddenly saw a brilliant purple color.

When she looked closer, she saw Flame eating dumplings with a happy face.

Without thinking, Rin knew who it was.

Uesugi Yayoi

Over the years, they have secretly made a lot of deals, and Yayoi even shares the secret of the white eye with her.

Rin, I really don't understand the jargon in Yayoi's mouth.

But she can learn.

After months of soaking in the library after school, she finally understood part of it, and then, this incident shocked Yayoi for a whole year.

Children who work hard, this consciousness, this persistent spirit, why can't they become stronger.

Years of trading have made their relationship a lot more harmonious.

There are even times when Rin jokes with Yayoi, but the little purple hair next to him is too much of an eyesore.

Nasty Uchiha.

And the moment she saw Flame and Yayoi, Rin hesitated for a moment.

She was increasingly ostracized within the family, the clan family's rejection of the separation, and the rejection of the separation.

Like an outlier, the separation seems to be even more repulsive to her.

Just because she doesn't have a caged bird, she is a separate family, but because she has an elder uncle of the clan family, the caged bird has been delayed again and again.

People are like this, they are more willing to vent their resentment on the same division than their masters, who dare not hate.

What could pull hatred better than a family without a caged bird.

Rin, very envious of Flame.

At the beginning of the school year, she envied Flame's optimism and envied Flame's character.

After that, she envied Flame for making good friends.

But after much hesitation, Rin decided to leave.

It's not something that belongs to her.

Loneliness is always like this, and her cold personality and complicated experiences have created her already numb heart.

Suddenly, a voice came from the store, a face that had been seen countless times in the night, looking at her with a smile and a string of dumplings in her hand.

"Rin, do you want to eat a bunch of meatballs?"

Flame apparently sensed Yayoi's voice as well, and looked outside with his gaze.

Then a pair of pure white eyes met her.

"Good"

Rin didn't hesitate this time.

Friends, they're friends, and Flame is just one of Yayoi's friends.

Rin opened the curtains, ignoring Flame's searching gaze, and sat down generously.

"Rin, what a coincidence"

Flame laughed, and his gentle smile was heartwarming.

"Hmm"

Rin didn't have much of an expression, and nodded in affirmation of Flame's thoughts.

This expressionless, natural appearance also puts Flame at ease.

Rin, it's always like this, and it's a little weird to encounter, but it's harmless.

"Do you want to eat dumplings?"

Yayoi picks up a bunch of dumplings and hands it to Rin.

"Is it delicious?"

"Delicious"

Flame said without hesitation.

"Sweet, if you like the taste, it must be delicious food."

Yayoi described it.

Rin took a gentle bite.

"How does it taste?"

Yayoi asked softly.

"As delicious as you say"

"Do you want another string?"

"Good"

............

A high-end restaurant

After saying goodbye to Rin, who met by chance, the two began to choose a location for the dinner.

In the end, I chose this high-end and expensive restaurant.

A wide variety of high-end dishes fill the table.

Among them, the thunder beef in the land of thunder and the seafood in the land of water are the most conspicuous.

This is not even something that ordinary guests can eat, and Yayoi reported Tsunade's name to get unimpeded.

"Another bottle of sake, I'm in for a treat today."

Tsunade said heroically to the waiter.

"Yes, Tsunade-sama"

Having just won the war, Sannin's fame is unmatched.

When the waiter saw Tsunade, there were almost little stars in his eyes.

Hearing Tsunade's order, he hurriedly responded.

"Little Yayoi, where did that kid go?"

Everything was ready, but the number was uneven, and Tsunade looked around, not realizing where his brother had gone.

Yayoi spread her hands, saying she didn't know.

"Good boy, even his sister's pigeons dare to be released."

Yayoi could feel that Tsunade's fist seemed to harden, and when he looked closely, he realized that the chakra was covered in the fist.

This is a strange power, and it can be regarded as a special ability of the Thousand Hands Clan.

In fact, as long as you can perfectly control your chakra and cover your whole body, you can do it.

The momentum and power of the full explosion can easily shatter a wall.

"Sister, look who I've brought!"

At this moment, the voice of the rope tree sounded, and the rope tree pulled a feminine man with black hair and a shawl, a pale face, and black eye shadow at the door.

"Orochimaru"

Tsunade saw Orochimaru, looked at the rope tree again, and lowered his fist.

"And me, the Great Toad Immortal of Miaomu Mountain."

At this moment, a heroic voice sounded from behind Orochimaru.
