"Huh, you can eat a lot, you've eaten over a dozen bowls by yourself..."
Kimimaro looked up and saw a little blond kid. Huh? Why did he feel a bit familiar? It was like the blond kid he had seen before when he traveled to Rouran Country.
That orange outfit, which was never washed, was too easy to recognize. Kimimaro had some reservations and looked at his teacher. Seeing that his teacher remained silent, he understood that he needed to keep a low profile in the enemy's Village, so he ignored Naruto and continued to eat.
Naruto didn't care that Kimimaro didn't reply. Anyway, people around him had treated him like this since he was a child, whether they knew him or not, they basically disliked him intensely.
"Uncle, add more green onions for me, and also more soup!" "Alright, no problem—"
Ichiraku smiled. Every time Naruto came, he would always make him a portion much larger than others, because Naruto had a huge appetite. This was one of the few warm moments in Naruto's life.
Besides that, the other person was Iruka, with whom he formed a bond when he graduated. These two were among the first family members to enter his heart in the early stages.
Soon, the extra-large ramen specially made for Naruto Uzumaki was served. Naruto had long been drooling, his saliva flowing all over the floor.
"I'm going to eat now~"
He immediately picked up his chopsticks, grabbed the ramen, and quickly slurped it into his mouth. Even the scorching heat couldn't stop his speed. In a short while, he had eaten it all, even drinking every last drop of soup. This soup was bone broth that had been simmered for a long time, just right for the nutritional needs of his growing body.
Although he didn't understand nutrition or anything, his instinct always made him finish the soup every time, and the soup at Ichiraku Ramen was also exceptional.
"Ah, I'm done eating, I'm so full, so full~"
While saying he was full, his eyes secretly glanced at Kimimaro, his envious gaze impossible to hide. Kimimaro felt a bit uncomfortable under his stare.
However, without Uchiha Nagi's nod, he didn't dare to have any interaction with Naruto.
Thump!
Uchiha Nagi lightly tapped the table with his hand, and Kimimaro instantly understood.
"Burp~ Teacher, I think I'm full, I can't eat anymore..." Kimimaro said.
"Is that so? Then let's pay the bill and go." Uchiha Nagi said with a smile, then handed Ichiraku a large denomination banknote.
"The extra is for a tip!"
"Thank you, customer, welcome to our shop again next time!" Ichiraku shouted loudly and cheerfully.
Uchiha Nagi nodded and left Ichiraku Ramen with Kimimaro and Yukihime.
"Huh, they left without finishing their food, what a waste! How annoying. If it were me, I'd pack it up even if I couldn't finish it..." Naruto grumbled indignantly.
Ichiraku just smiled. Naruto had too little life experience, but he understood.
"Naruto, that customer still has two bowls of ramen that haven't been served. I'll give them to you."
"Ah, really? It's a deal, Uncle! That's great, today is really my lucky day. I found money when I went out, and I can find ramen when I come to eat ramen, hahahaha..." Naruto was overjoyed. He was always the King of Luck, even winning the jackpot if he played slot machines in the future. Naruto comfortably jumped and sat in Kimimaro's previous spot, holding his chopsticks, eagerly anticipating the ramen that was about to be served.
However, before the ramen was even served, his mind became hazy for a moment, and he seemed to see some strange images.
In an oasis in a desert, there was a big blond guy, flashing around, and the slightly older kid who was just there was also present. [Uchiha Nagi was wearing makeup]
Finally, he stood with open arms in front of a girl, loudly yelling and cursing the big blond guy and the Konoha Ninja leading the team.
"Naruto, Naruto? The ramen is here, why are you spacing out?" Ichiraku called out.
"Oh, oh, sorry, Uncle, then I'll start eating—" Naruto shook his head uncomfortably, chasing away the strange images that had suddenly flooded his mind, and began to eat. Ramen was much more important than those so-called curiosities... After Uchiha Nagi left Ichiraku Ramen, he went to a Ninja tool shop to buy some things, especially Storage Scrolls.
Storage Scrolls come in various sizes and have different shelf lives. Just like electronics, some high-quality Storage Scrolls can last for several years, while lower-quality ones can only be used for a few months.
Each type of Storage Scroll is made from the fur of Chakra-possessing beasts. Only these special beast furs can serve as the medium for Storage Scrolls. Even if Uchiha Nagi knew how to make them in the Demon Slayer World, he couldn't find suitable materials.
After buying Storage Scrolls, he also bought a portion of Exploding Tags. How could Ninja fights be without Exploding Tags? When not in wartime, the price of Exploding Tags is not expensive, and the entire Ninja World is not peaceful. Merchants coming and going often need to replenish these consumable weapons.
So Uchiha Nagi bought a large quantity of Exploding Tags. The shop owner not only didn't suspect him but also happily rounded down the price for him and gave him a discount coupon, saying that he could get a 5% discount if he came back to his shop next time... Uchiha Nagi then found an inn with the two of them. Konoha's openness is related to its economy. Merchants from all over the Ninja World can trade and buy goods from other countries here. Coupled with the Land of Fire's fertile land and abundant produce, it has made other countries envious of the Land of Fire.
This is also why in every Shinobi World War, the surrounding Ninja Villages always gang up on Konoha.
It's one thing if they are all poor together, but Konoha is exceptionally rich, so it's only natural for others to be envious.
In the inn, from time to time, one could hear Ninja running and jumping hurriedly on the rooftops, but the people around had already grown accustomed to it. Don't assume Konoha's defenses are very strict; if they were, Hinata wouldn't have been secretly abducted by the Land of Lightning's envoy. And Gekkō Hayate wouldn't have been fighting Baki on the rooftop only to be discovered the next day. Simply put, after too many years of peace, Konoha had long relaxed its vigilance.
Other Ninja Villages were pretty much the same. Orochimaru easily infiltrated the Land of Lightning, disguised as a doctor, and released the Eight-Tails.
When capturing the Jinchuriki, the people of the Land of Lightning only discovered it after Sasuke finished fighting Killer B.
Finally, there was Kabuto, digging up graves everywhere. He dug up the Kage's graves in every Ninja Village, yet no one discovered him. Too much peace, not just Konoha, but every Ninja Village was the same.
At night, Uchiha Nagi frowned, wondering whether to infiltrate the Hokage Building to steal something, because there was something there that greatly attracted him: the Ninjutsu left by previous Hokage and Jonin, the Scroll of Seals.
The Ninjutsu contained within the Scroll of Seals was truly too appealing, and now Konoha's old were old, and those who left had left, with no master to hold down the fort.
All Jonin. If Might Guy dared to open the Gate of Death, or even the Seventh Gate, perhaps he could suppress him, but would he?
Uchiha Nagi understood the uniqueness of the Eight Gates very well. If Guy opened the gates for ten minutes, as long as he used Flying Thunder God to escape, and waited until the time passed and Guy entered his weakened state, he could return and win without a fight...
If he dared to open the gates again during his weakened state, it didn't matter, he would just slip away again. The dignity of a strong person or whatever, it wasn't important, as long as he could win—
"Sigh, forget it, next time. In a few years, no rush..." Uchiha Nagi sighed. Kimimaro couldn't use Flying Thunder God. Flying away with someone and flying away by himself were two completely different matters.
And there was also Yukihime. Although he didn't particularly like or dislike this young lady, he wouldn't let her sit and wait for death without reason. When Orochimaru attacked Konoha next time, it would be much easier to get the Scroll of Seals.
Uchiha Nagi calculated the time. Naruto graduated at twelve, and participated in the Chunin Exams a few months later. Sasuke's clan was annihilated when he was around six, which meant there were still three or four years, no rush.
During these three or four years, he would consolidate and improve his strength and physical fitness. Now, he was learning more and more Ninjutsu, but his physical strength hadn't improved at all; he couldn't even use Sun Breathing as an everyday sword technique.
Moreover, among Taijutsu styles, the ultimate Super Strength Fist, he could only use a few punches. It was truly like seeing a treasure mountain but being unable to extract the treasures within, which made him anxious.
"Three or four years, that's enough time for me to improve my physical strength. A single powerful move can conquer the world..." Uchiha Nagi muttered to himself.
Once he could use Super Strength Fist as freely as Tsunade, he could defeat most people. And there was the strongest Sun Breathing Technique. Forget it, learning too many techniques without mastering them wasn't good either.
Outside Konoha, at Training Ground 13, Anko and Kurenai Yuhi were frowning, holding a large stack of documents.
These were documents they had obtained from the gate Ninja. Everyone entering Konoha had to register, but Konoha was a city, not a Village. There were simply too many people coming and going every day to remember them all, and it wasn't easy to search.
The guards were too lazy to search themselves, so they directly dumped a pile of registration documents on Anko. Anko could only reluctantly ask Kurenai Yuhi to come to the training ground to search.
First, Kurenai sorted out the documents of the girls who had entered Konoha in the past few days, and then Anko picked them up one by one to examine them... The two searched from day to night, with documents scattered all over the ground.
"How about we look again tomorrow? It's already so late..." Kurenai said.
"No, no, if I don't find that girl, I won't be able to sleep. Huh, I found it, it seems to be this person..." Anko joyfully picked up a document, which included a photo of Yukihime.
Beautiful women were relatively rare, so they were easy to identify. Although Uchiha Nagi had put makeup on Yukihime, she still appeared quite youthful and beautiful.
"You found her, that's good. Shall we notify the police force?" Kurenai asked.
The Anbu managed outside, and the police force managed inside the Village. The police force used to belong to the Uchiha Clan, but after their annihilation, this authority was divided among many old established minor clans. Although the police force was still disliked, now that many clans served together, it also shared the resentment and seemed more harmonious.
"No, no, what if it's just my imagination? Then I'd be completely humiliated. Let's just the two of us track her. Big Sister Kurenai, you wouldn't not help me, would you..." Anko cared about her reputation and refused to report it upwards.
Kurenai thought for a moment. In their own Village, and with two Jonin, even a slightly larger commotion from a fight would be discovered by the villagers. Since there was no real danger, she nodded in agreement.
"Alright..."
