Vol 3 Chapter 51: Ramen Master
"Well, I was on a mission outside."
"I suddenly felt a blur of consciousness, and then I didn't know anything... When I woke up again, I was in a valley about 30 kilometers away from the village."
"That's basically the case."
Walking out of the Hokage Building, Kakashi still had a trace of trance on his face.
In his consciousness, he probably took a nap, but in the real world, he experienced an earth-shattering battle, but although he was not conscious, his body... seemed to be affected by Chakra.
Although I can't say it, Kakashi feels that he has indeed become stronger. The chakra that acts on his body is too large. Although most of them have escaped, the remaining little bit is also a subtle influence. With his body, his physical fitness and chakra volume are much stronger than before.
"Kakashi! Let's bet our youth for a **** duel!"
Kakashi, who was thinking about something, instinctively tilted his head when he heard the sound, and Kai, who was wearing a green tights, flew out of the gap, and saw that he forcibly twisted his body in the air, and then stood on the ground.
"Aren't you going to take the Chunin exam..." Kakashi looked at Kai with a pair of dead fish eyes. If he remembered correctly, today should be the second Chunin exam.
"Even Kakashi is already in the ninja, how could Konoha's blue-blue beast Matekai be trapped in a mere Chunin exam?!"
Kai showed his big white teeth and said proudly, "I am the fastest of the five ninja villages to get out of the second level!"
"What is even Kakashi..." Kakashi waved his hand speechlessly, and was about to ask the details of Kai Chunin's exam, but suddenly stopped, "Isn't this Nao and Shisui, and that is ... Uchiha Itachi? How did they come out together?"
On the other side of the street, Naoto and Shisui, along with Itachi, seemed to be waiting in line at the door of a store, and in Kakashi's previous impression, there should be no stores.
"Huh? Don't you know? There's a new ramen restaurant there, and it tastes great!"
Kakashi hehe said, "After I woke up, I rushed back all the way. When I arrived at the village, I was called by Hokage-sama. Where can I have the time to eat ramen?"
"That's good! Today we'll see who can finish a bowl of noodles the fastest!" Kai said enthusiastically
"……don't want……"
Kakashi walked while talking, and soon came to the other side of the street.
At this time, Naoto also noticed Kakashi's arrival, greeted him, and joked, "Isn't this Kakashi who just made a big splash not long ago, why did he come here to train people's feelings?"
Although the place where [Kakashi] fought Madara was remote, it was also in the territory of Konoha. Naturally, some ordinary villagers did not understand what happened, but for ninjas, especially Uchiha ninjas with shackles, but See the battle over there clearly.
Especially the huge complete body Susanoo, even the Hokage family couldn't hide it if they wanted to.
Naoto, Shisui, Kakashi, and Kai have all performed missions together, and they can be considered to have communicated, so Naoto can make jokes.
"..." Kakashi was speechless for a while, and he simply ignored him and looked at Shishui, "Are you all here to eat ramen?"
"Don't you know?" Shishui was a little surprised, and whispered, "This ramen restaurant is run by members of Shichibukai."
? ? ? ! !
Qiwuhai opened?
Kakashi asked curiously, "Why did Shichibukai open a ramen restaurant here?"
"Hmph, now the Qiwuhai and the five major countries are in a strategic alliance, and three members have come to Konoha." Naoto patted his chest "As far as I know, the member of the Qiwuhai is named Uesugi Yue, but One of the members of the Shichibukai who fought against the Rok-Tails Zhuri in the Land of Water."
"No wonder you guys are here." Kakashi understood instantly and thoughtfully said, "Looks like I have to try the ramen made by this master Yue too."
"Hmph, then you have to line up."
It seems like fate. Although it was not long after returning to Konoha, Shisui and Itachi got acquainted and soon became good partners.
And the three of them came here at the moment, but it didn't mean anything as he said, they were really just here to eat noodles.
Although this is a ramen shop, it is actually very simply decorated. After all, Uesugoshi is just looking for a recreation before the official war.
The five of them quickly sat on the wooden bench. At this time, Kakashi also saw the legendary Shichibukai member for the first time.
He looks about the same age as Hokage-sama, his white hair is neatly combed into a neat parted head, he wears the unique white hemp uniform of a ramen master, and wears a black towel on his forehead. He looks like a professional ramen. Master, not members of Shichibukai fighting on the front lines.
"Master Yue, how did you come to be a ramen master here?" Shishui asked politely while waiting.
"Um...this." Uesugoshi said without looking back while making ramen, "Maybe I want to lay a foundation for my retirement life. After all, people... always have to have a skill."
"Are a powerful ninja like you also worried about unemployment in the future?" asked the young Itachi
"Haha, when you are old, you will find out. It is often harder to retreat than to attack. Before retreating, you have to think about where to retreat to be safe. In the world of ninjas, few people die."
Itachi nodded. Although he was young, he knew a lot of things, especially when he was brought to the battlefield by Fuyue before, which made him understand the cruelty of the ninja world So he wanted to change the ninja world, and listened to After arriving at Uesugoshi's words, he strengthened his ideals even more.
A ninja world that cannot be tolerated even by an old man who just wants to live a peaceful life in the future is wrong!
"Your face."
Uesugoshi brought bowls of ramen bowls and was about to greet the customers behind, but his face suddenly changed!
The change in his expression instantly involved Kakashi and Shisui's heart. As a member of the mysterious Shichibukai, how could Uesugoshi's abnormality make them not care?
At this moment, although Uesugoshi is still wearing the clothes of a ramen master, his temperament is completely different from that of the peaceful old man before.
At this moment, he seems to be a strong man who can compete with the six-tailed man Zhuli. Age is not the factor that drags him back, but because he has endured the silence of the years, he has become more calm and restrained.
But at this moment, he is different from a single strong man. They can't tell the specific difference, but they can detect something more domineering from this strong fighting momentum, just like the emperor standing on the top of the mountain and looking down at all beings. Emperor.
Following his gaze, Kakashi found a man dressed in a black suit, whose temperament was incompatible with the surrounding Konoha villagers, so Kakashi quickly recognized him.
Is it an old friend...?
Kakashi shook his head secretly in his heart, seeing Uesugoshi's reaction... It's not so much an old friend, it's an enemy who came to him...
"I'm afraid I'm going to close."
Uesugoshi stood in front of the window
"These bowls of noodles should be given to you."
