Chapter 26
You can even start a meeting in your own country, and after discussion, you can decide who to "shadow".
This time Uchiha forcibly forced Sarutobi Hiruzen to be a Hokage. Of course, he angered these "aloof and remote" Daimyo.
Don't think that these Daimyos seem to be bullies. From a certain perspective, the village belongs to the armed forces of Land of Fire and serves Daimyo.
Although they do not have strong power, their economic strength cannot be underestimated.
Most of the expenses in the village, the purchase of various Ninja Tools, including food reserves, scientific research, ninja welfare, and financial subsidies for frontline scouts in high-risk periods, are mostly borne by Daimyo.
If they cut off the financial aid to Hidden Leaf Village, it would be a devastating blow to Hidden Leaf Village.
The reason why such a major mission is A-Rank instead of S-Rank is because Daimyo dare not really cut off the financial aid to Konoha.
Because if Hidden Leaf Village is passed away, then ninjas from other countries will wage war against Land of Fire. Without the Land of Fire of Ninja Village, there will be no resistance.
So the Daimyos just want to negotiate to ensure their dominance remains unchanged.
"Those mediocre guys, I feel annoying when I think about it, but the mission has to be completed before I can get paid. That is to say, I have to go to Daimyo Mansion first and then return to the village?"
Ryumei curl one's lip, it might as well just take three hundred thousand taels.
Fugaku looked around, then found the 1-million Ryo banknote from the drawer, and said, "You too look down on me as Hokage. It's okay to give you a small privilege, you Take the Mission Reward first, remember to complete the mission."
Ryumei hehe smiled: "This is my good Clan Leader, many thanks, Sasuke, I will take it away, Sasuke, come and follow Tell your father individually."
Sasuke trot to Fugaku, bowed firmly and said: "Father, I will definitely train hard. When I come back, I will definitely become an outstanding ninja."
p>
"Well, truly worthy of my son, you can be so self-motivated. I am proud of you. Keep it up. After going out, everything will follow Ryumei's arrangements."
Fugaku looked Sasuke, the eyes have returned to the strictness of the past, but there is no lack of encouragement to Sasuke.
Listening to Fugaku's words, Sasuke's eyes seemed to have light, and he moved towards Fugaku and nodded.
"Then I'll go first, Lord Clan Leader."
Ryumei pulled up Sasuke and flew directly out of the Hokage hall. Fugaku didn't have time to say a few words of goodbye.
Ryumei holding a box full of banknotes, Lehehe moved towards Uchiha Clan and walked.
When I was walking in the middle, suddenly there was a somewhat lonely silhouette squatting at the entrance of the street.
Hinata?
Ryumei stopped here, and then scratched his head. He probably knew why Hinata was here.
Ryumei turned around and said, "Sasuke, go back and pack your things by yourself. I have something to do."
Sasuke kept in mind father’s instructions and listened to Ryumei’s words, so immediately Just nodded.
"Okay, then I'll wait for your news at home."
After speaking, Sasuke trot towards home.
As for Ryumei, the direction moved towards Hinata was walked over. Hinata, who was squatting, also felt that someone was approaching, and turned his head to see and quickly got up.
"Long...Ryumei-san...it's you..." Hinata greeted her in a low voice.
"Ah yes, why are you staying here? Didn't you go home?"
When Ryumei asked this, he regretted it. Hinata didn't go home, it must be because I am dissatisfied with the arrangement of father.
Which pot I am not opening or mentioning.
Hinata's head drooped lower as expected, clutching his own atire and constantly rubbing it, hesitating speechless.
The appearance of Hinata makes Ryumei also a little embarrassed, he obviously didn't do it.
Being so confused by Hyuga Hiashi and Uchiha Fugaku, I feel like a bully who grabs love with a sword.
The atmosphere at the street entrance was deadlocked, and the two of them stayed there and said nothing.
At this time, a strange sound of "gu gu" broke the deadlock.
"What sound." Ryumei subconscious looked around.
Hinata very red little face, staring at his stomach very sorry.
Only then did Ryumei react. He touched his nose and said in a tentative tone: "Or, let's go eat ramen."
[48. Chapter 48 Uncle Teuchi, on ten bowls of noodles!]
"I, I'm not hungry, I'll go home first."
Hinata I wanted to refuse, but my stomach screamed disappointingly.
She clutched her belly, turned around and decided to leave.
"Stop!"
Ryumei stopped her suddenly.
Hinata was taken aback, gave Ryumei quietly, and then quickly lowered his head.
"Come here." Ryumei said solemnly.
Hinata's fingers crossed tensely, and the procrastinate walked over again.
"Hurry up." Ryumei increased his tone and added another sentence.
Hinata came back in small steps, probably because he was frightened. Hinata's body was a little trembling, and a small face seemed to be crying aggrieved. Fierce preparations.
I don’t know that Ryumei suddenly sighed, rubbed Hinata’s blue silk, and said softly: “I’m hungry and I have to eat, Ramen Ichiraku is not far from here, when I’m done, I’ll see you off Go back."
Faced with Ryumei's sudden gentleness, Hinata was taken aback, and uneasily declined: "Then, how embarrassed then, it is really too troublesome for Mr. Ryumei."
Hinata refused, while looking away like a frightened deer.
Ryumei saw that Chunin couldn't help but sighed. Hinata's character is actually very timid and lacks self-confidence. This is also related to her environment.
In the original work, it wasn't until Chunin Exams and Hinata bravely battled with big brother Neji that they gradually became strong and confident.
"Chunin Exams is nowhere in sight. Take your time. If you can make Hinata stronger in this experience, it will be a good thing for her."
Ryumei Thinking about it this way, from his perspective, Hinata's long eyelashes can be tall and straight under the nose, as well as the sharp lip shape.
"Guilty, sin, Naruto, if this experience really happened, you can't blame the big brother."
Ryumei silently added another sentence in his heart.
Then, Ryumei took Hinata to the Ramen Ichiraku Pavilion, which was only a few corners away.
It was already evening, and many customers had gathered in the Yile Noodle Shop.
This shop is the favorite shop of Naruto and many Konoha Ninja, Boss Uncle Teuchi, who has been focusing on ramen for thirty-four years, has an endless stream of people visiting here.
Ryumei lifted the white cloth of the noodle restaurant, Uncle Teuchi raised his head and greeted him familiarly when he saw Ryumei.
"It’s Ryumei here, how about it? Is it also a special pork miso char siu noodles this time?"
"no, I will give you two servings this time, one for She." Ryumei said and pointed to Hinata next to him.
"No problem, two special pork miso char siu noodles are coming soon."
Uncle Teuchi proficiently started kneading, making noodles, and ramen smoothly.
Ryumei took advantage of the gap and pressed Hinata to the chair next to him, and said seriously: "You just sit here obediently and honestly, and eat until you are full, and then I will send you back. , Did you hear it?"
"Listen, I heard."
Hinata quickly replied in a low voice, she was afraid that if she slowed down, Ryumei would attack her again.
Uncle Teuchi teased next to him: "Really didn't expect, you child knows to please girls at such a young age, and knows to invite people to dinner, but the attitude is not good, be gentle, or else, Other girls will not agree to your pursuit."
Hinata blushed. She, who was originally shy, now feels that her face is burning.
Just when Hinata was about to faint due to overheating, a large bowl of ramen was handed to her.
The delicious soup is filled with freshly cooked ramen, delicious barbecued pork, round sugar-filled eggs, sour bamboo shoots and chives, which are decorated like exquisite works of art. .
Hinata forgot to be shy for a while, and focused all of her attention on Ramen in front of her.
Ryumei thoughtfully took the chopsticks from the side, handed it over and said: "No, eat it quickly, if it is not enough, remember to add it."
Hinata woke up like a dream, blushing I took the chopsticks and "struggled" silently.
Don't look at Hinata's small body and usually delicate.
In fact, her appetite is very large. For example, Ramen Ichiraku can eat 46 bowls!
This amount is almost the appetite of an ordinary person in a few days.
A bowl of ramen quickly bottomed out under Hinata's "struggle", and Ryumei's bowl was less than half eaten.
Hinata glanced at Ryumei, put down his chopsticks anxiously, and whispered: "That, Mr. Ryumei, I, I'm full."
"Really full." Is it?" Ryumei glanced at Hinata with questioning eyes.
Hinata glanced at Ryumei with half of the ramen left, and quickly moved away, nodded and said difficultly: "Well, I'm full."
looked Hinata with a hard mouth Ryumei was speechless for a while, and Hinata seemed to be afraid that Ryumei would sell her if she ate too much.
"Is it full, I have to check it."
After saying this, Ryumei suddenly put his hand on Hinata's belly, in Hinata's shocked eyes After rubbing it, he said: "Your belly is still deflated, Uncle Teuchi, on ten bowls of noodles."
"Dragon, Ryumei-san, you..." Hinata opened her small mouth. , Stammeringly speechless.
"Don't worry, I'll treat you, you can rest assured to eat boldly." Ryumei hand sweeps, said very boldly.
Hinata is almost looking for an earth crack to get in. She yelled aggrievedly in her heart, how can you touch someone's belly casually.
However, as several bowls of hot ramen came up, Hinata turned grief and indignation into appetite and continued to "struggle".
Ryumei ate the noodles in his bowl early, and sat next to him patiently looking Hinata, and asked Uncle Teuchi to add noodles from time to time.
When Hinata finished the 21st bowl, he finally burped contentedly.
Then I realized that my actions were too rude, and even hurriedly said apologized: "Yes, I'm sorry, Mr. Ryumei, I ate too much."
Ryumei grinned. , Said indifferently: “It’s okay. Be confident. It’s not shameful to eat too much.” Ryumei’s words warmed Hinata's heart, but then blushed again. She was still the number one. Shows such a big appetite in front of outsiders this time.
Ryumei stood up and settled the account with Uncle Teuchi. After checking, Uncle Teuchi said: "A bowl of special pork and miso char siu noodles is 80 taels. You ordered 22 servings, totaling 1,760 taels."
Hinata was even more sorry when she heard about the accounts. After all, she hadn't become a ninja, and her usual petty expenses were only a little bit, and she rarely spent so much money on a meal.
Ryumei happily took out two thousand taels of bills from the box and placed them on the table.
"Two thousand taels, no need to look for it."
Hinata opened her mouth in surprise. She thought Ryumei was so great, even at such a young age. So much money.
When Hinata was lost, Ryumei had pulled her out of the Yile Noodle Shop.
[49.Chapter 49, don’t blame the big brother for not being human, just blame the younger brothers and sisters for being so charming...]
At this time, the sky is completely dark. The bright moonlight poured over Hidden Leaf Village, and ninja patrolling can be seen on the roof from time to time.
"Grab me, don't get lost."
Ryumei took Hinata's little hand and walked down the street, while Hinata followed with a blushing face.
"Dragon, Mr. Ryumei is holding my hand again, so nervous, but Mr. Ryumei's hand is so warm." Hinata thought this way in her heart, and couldn't help holding Ryumei tightly again. Hands.
Ryumei also sensed Hinata's small movements. He touched his nose and deliberately slowed down.
He just took half an hour to walk the ten-minute journey.
"Hinata, you are here." When Ryumei said these words, Hinata had not recovered from this silence.
When Hinata realized that she got home, she blushed and quickly let go of her hand.
Then moved towards Ryumei bowed deeply, whispered: "Thank you, Ryumei, for sending me back so late, and for inviting me to dinner. I will prepare things for my trip tomorrow and wait for you. "
Ryumei rubbed Hinata's hair and said seriously: "Don't be too reluctant. If you don't want to, you can tell me the truth, and I will personally I went to talk to your father."
Hinata blushed, then hesitated for a moment and said: "No, don’t force it, if the subject is Ryumei-kun, then there’s no problem..."

When Hinata talked about it at the end, his face was flushed to the root of his ears, and his head was even more eager to shrink into his clothes.
