This was all but Lin Yu's imagination. Teuchi the ramen chef complained for half a day even when making ten bowls of ramen, so how could he possibly be a reincarnation of an Otsutsuki.
Though Teuchi's squinting eyes looked a bit scary, Lin Yu had known Teuchi for so many years since he was a child and had never noticed anything amiss.
As for Amado, although Lin Yu hadn't interacted with him yet, seeing that he was married and had children meant he couldn't be an Otsutsuki. Otsutsuki were extremely arrogant and looked down on humans as inferior beings from the bottom of their hearts.
Of course, Kaguya was an exception. Lin Yu felt that Kaguya was just a bit tsundere, and nowadays, she was gradually becoming more human in all aspects.
The moon hung high in the sky, and a lonely cliff stood tall. Lin Yu gazed into the distance, standing alone on the precipice. The biting wind rustled his clothes.
Lin Yu didn't know how many Otsutsuki would descend, but if it were just two or three, or even four or five, Lin Yu would only treat it as a hunting game.
After all, they had gathered the entire peak combat power of the ninja world on their side.
For instance, the combined might of Senju Hashirama and Uchiha Madara could deal with one or two Otsutsuki without any problem, perhaps even crushing them, as long as their abilities weren't too tricky.
Then there were the Uchiha Swordsmen: Obito, Shisui, and Itachi. Their coordination was becoming increasingly seamless, and they could hold off an Otsutsuki without breaking a sweat.
There was also the Might Guy family... and Naruto and Sasuke, who possessed the White Karma, would surely be able to stand on their own in the future.
And with him and Kaguya holding the fort, Lin Yu truly couldn't imagine what kind of lineup the Otsutsuki clan would need to send for the Great Toad Sage to predict a situation requiring a "reversal."
However, their fighting strength could still be significantly improved. Take Kakashi, for example. His talent was undeniable, but he was limited by his own bloodline and lacked any special power-ups. Otherwise, he would be a protagonist-level figure.
Orphaned, best friend turned villain, mentor killed, loved ones gone... Kakashi was indeed quite unfortunate.
But fortunately, the current Kakashi was the happiest man in Konoha, with Obito on his left and Might Guy on his right, living a life of leisure.
And then there was Nagato... all he needed now was a pair of Rinnegan eyes that suited him, and he could return to his peak, or even surpass it.
Finally, Lin Yu thought of Shiro and Juu. Although they were creations of Yin-Yang Release, they were still the Ten-Tails, possessing the Ten-Tails' chakra, consciousness, and its Six-Tomoe Rinne Sharingan...
"It's time to prepare."
As he spoke, not a trace of him remained on the cliff.
...
Konoha Village.
"How dare you try to dine and dash at Otsutsuki Ichiraku's! No matter who you are, you can't escape! Stop right there!"
After a chaotic scene filled with flying chickens and jumping dogs at Ichiraku Ramen, a dog with ten tails, rolling a chubby orange cat, burst out of the shop. It leaped and darted across the rooftops, soon disappearing from sight.
"Damn it! If I catch you, I'll show you the power of a ramen chef's rolling pin!"
Teuchi, holding a rolling pin, chased after them. Seeing Shiro, who had quickly scrambled onto the roof, he was furious. Was he bullying him because he wasn't a ninja?
Fine, from now on, Lin Yu wouldn't get any ramen from my shop! Did you think I, Teuchi, was a vegetarian!
...
Mount Myōboku. Naruto lay on the ground, his eyes rolled back, his stomach distended like a ball. He looked as if life held no meaning for him.
He had no idea how he managed to get through lunch. Under Sasuke's earnest pleading gaze, he didn't know how, but he had finished a large bowl like a bulldozer with a motor, slurping it down.
"Dinner time, let's eat!"
*Dong dong dong!*
Hearing Shima striking a gong nearby, Naruto silently rolled over, facing the wall, praying that the other party would take pity on him. He truly couldn't eat anymore.
And... *gag*! How could anyone eat that stuff!
Like Naruto, two contorted figures lay on chairs nearby: Kiba and Choji.
Kiba had completely fainted, his pupils rolled back, and foam dripping from his mouth. If he hadn't been breathing, Shima might have already buried him to use as fertilizer for his plants.
Choji was slightly better off. Possessing the Akimichi clan's trait of gaining weight easily, he had actually lost weight. This was because he had used a secret clan technique to forcefully digest the fat in his body, including the food rich in protein.
Although he had made it through, he wouldn't recover without resting for at least a month.
So, upon hearing Shima's "Let's eat," Choji decisively rolled his eyes and fainted. Although the price was high, it had inadvertently allowed him to activate the Butterfly Mode, which was a small consolation.
After waiting for a long time without a response, Shima frowned. "What's wrong with the kids' father? Why isn't he bringing them back so late?"
It turned out that after lunch, Fukasaku, under the Great Toad Sage's instructions, had stated that Mount Myōboku was willing to contribute by giving the younger generation an opportunity to cultivate Mount Myōboku's Sage Mode and enhance their combat power.
Although this broke the rules, Fukasaku had no choice but to comply when faced with the Great Toad Sage's orders.
"Alas, it looks like they'll be back very late, so we'll have to start without them!"
"Hey, Konoha ninjas over there, are you awake yet?"
Hearing this terrifying voice, Naruto couldn't help but tremble. A tear involuntarily streamed down the corner of his eye.
"Sasuke, why aren't you back yet..."
"Teacher Lin Yu, why haven't you come back to pick us up! I want to go home, I hate toads!"
