"Welcome, how many? Lin... Lin Yu!"
The hands kneading dough trembled as a flash of red caught the corner of his eye. Who could it be? Chouza Akimichi or the little witch Kushina?
Wouldn't this girl, who had eaten five large bowls at lunch, be back for more tonight!
"Brother Teuchi, it's been so long."
Lin Yu greeted Teuchi enthusiastically. He had been craving Ichiraku Ramen for over half a year and decided to have five large bowls today!
"Brother Teuchi, I'm Obito, do you remember me?"
Obito, smelling the aroma wafting through the air, felt his already rumbling stomach ache even more. He shouted loudly, "Brother Teuchi, I want three bowls, all with chashu!"
Since Teacher Lin Yu was treating, he, Uchiha Obito, wouldn't be polite!
Kakashi, standing beside him, said calmly, "Boss, I'll have four bowls."
He, Kakashi, was a regular customer at Ichiraku Ramen, having eaten there since he was a child. No matter what, he couldn't eat less than Obito!
"Kakashi! What do you mean?! Are you competing with me over noodles too?"
"Hmph! I train diligently, so it's normal for me to consume a lot. Unlike some people, tsk tsk tsk."
Obito immediately became angry, "Damn it! Boss, give me ten..."
"Cough cough cough! Obito, can you even eat that much? Wasting food is wrong!"
Lin Yu was watching Obito and Kakashi's "flirtatious banter" with interest, but suddenly remembered his wallet wasn't very full. He quickly coughed a few times to interrupt Obito.
Who knew if he, Lin Yu, would end up working at Ichiraku Ramen to pay off his debts if these two continued to compete!
"But..."
Obito was a little unwilling, but Teacher Lin Yu was right, he couldn't eat that much ramen.
Forget it! Let Kakashi win this time!
I definitely won't lose next time!
"Um... I'll just have one bowl, please."
After nodding to Rin Nohara, Teuchi asked Lin Yu, "What about you, Lin Yu boy?"
Lin Yu was currently rummaging through his pockets, mentally counting his meager savings. Hearing Teuchi's question, he sighed and said,
"Alas, three bowls it is!"
It was still Lin Yu's three free bowls. He had originally wanted to eat five, but alas, his pockets were not deep enough!
That's right! I remember Hanzo of the Salamander's corpse is still with me. Is it going to get moldy? It shouldn't mold if it's sealed in a scroll, right?
I need to find an opportunity to go out and exchange it for some pocket money.
Alas, Hanzo, you truly are my treasure boy!
Hanzo of the Salamander: Hmph! Spit!
Only three bowls? Teuchi's eyes twitched, but fortunately, only eleven bowls were ordered for the four of them, which he could handle!
As long as they don't order ten bowls each, I, Teuchi, can last another twenty years!
"Boss! Give me twenty bowls of miso ramen! Quick, quick, quick!"
Clang!
Teuchi entire body fell to the ground, his face covered in flour, and he glared ferociously at the newcomer.
Chouza Akimichi!
Another damned redhead! So detestable!
I, Teuchi, am sworn enemies with the redheads!
"Brother Teuchi, are you alright?"
Facing Lin Yu's "kind" inquiry, Teuchi could only add extra dough with tears in his eyes, his lips trembling, "I'm fine, I'm fine. I'm so happy that so many people like my ramen!"
Happy my ass!
My speed, which has been single for over twenty years, can't even keep up with the stomach capacity of your redheads!
If I had known there were redheads in Konoha, I... I would have opened my ramen shop in another town!
Aunt, I regret it! It turns out that starting a business is not only difficult because customers may or may not be satisfied with your product, but also because some customers are too satisfied, and your speed can't keep up!
Alas! Should I find someone to help me? I have the capital now. I'll get married, have a big fat son, and pass on my skills quickly, then I can retire!
This Konoha is really not a place for humans!
"Huh? Uzumaki Lin Yu, are you eating ramen too?"
Chouza Akimichi, wearing a red ninja outfit and with a belly the size of 4 or 5 months, sat down in the empty seat next to Lin Yu.
After many years, Chouza Akimichi had become even rounder, it seemed he ate very well.
Lin Yu was a little confused. Shouldn't Chouza Akimichi be fighting on the front lines with his father? Why had he returned all of a sudden?
"Danzou, when did you get back?"
"I returned to Konoha a long time ago. I came back with Lord Orochimaru. Father said the Land of Rice Fields battlefield was too dangerous, so he told me to go home and get married first."
Chouza Akimichi had no intention of hiding anything and directly mentioned getting married.
"Marry... marry a wife?"
Obito and Kakashi, who were still little kids, blushed when they heard this. This matter was still too far away for them. The two of them instinctively looked at each other and then looked away.
Obito: Kakashi is so tsundere, no girl will like him!
Kakashi: Obito, this dead last, would never have a girl interested in him!
Teuchi's thoughts intensified after hearing this! Even Chouza Akimichi was looking for a wife, so he, an uncle who had been single for over twenty years, should also find one!
For the sake of having someone to share his pressure in the future, my child, I'm sorry, the task of kneading dough will be yours from now on!
Unless I have a daughter, but fate wouldn't play such a cruel trick on me, right!
Lin Yu was a little speechless. Chouza Akimichi was only sixteen or seventeen years old. Was it too early to consider such things?
He, Lin Yu, had no such plans at all. Being single was so carefree!
"By the way, has Might Guy graduated yet?" Lin Yu asked Obito.
"Guy? I don't know. Kakashi seems to be more familiar with him." Obito shook his head and continued to drink the delicious noodle soup.
"Guy was taken to the Mist Village battlefield by his father for training. He said that a man should experience the tempering of war to grow."
Kakashi said this with some happiness because with Might Guy away, he hadn't been harassed for a while, and it was a very helpless kind of harassment!
It wasn't just a challenge to his strength! It was also a challenge to his humanity!
When Kakashi thought about one nap, he opened his eyes to see the thick-browed and bright-eyed Might Guy leaning close to his face, puckering his lips as if contemplating whether to "take a bite." Kakashi couldn't sleep well for half a month!
Who knew if Might Guy would suddenly pop out of the covers and pucker up at you!
Only after Might Guy was taken to the battlefield by his father did Kakashi gradually feel at ease.
"Is that so? Uncle Dai really has a big heart."
Lin Yu appeared calm on the surface, but inwardly he felt some unease. Might Dai went to the battlefield, no way, had everything accelerated?
It seems I need to have a good talk with Kurama tonight. This mission has been delayed long enough, it's time to complete it!
Before Lin Yu could think further, Kakashi said again, "In a few more days, I'll be going on a mission to get promoted to Jonin, and I might be away from the village for about half a month. Lin Yu teacher, please take care of Obito and the others."
Lin Yu: Why are things piling up like this? The pace is a bit tight!
