Chapter 75 Hinata: Tenten is so imaginative! Shizune: It's such a shame Tsunade-sama isn't here!
Upon hearing the word "silence," Changpu immediately said, "Wait a moment."
Since snail rice noodles became a hit, very few people come to eat at Ichiraku Ramen these days.
However, Changpu also knew that this situation couldn't be allowed to continue.
After all, this is Ichiraku Ramen, not snail rice noodle shop.
She had already searched for an empty shop next to Lin Mo's jar shop.
Soon, Ayame presented Shizune with a large bowl of Ichiraku Ramen, laughing heartily, "Please enjoy."
With that, Changpu turned around and continued her work.
Shizune casually picked up her chopsticks, gently lifted a strand of ramen, and put it in her mouth.
Her movements were elegant and natural, as if the bowl of ramen was not just food to her, but a relaxing and enjoyable experience.
The moment the noodles entered her mouth, the familiar flavor burst forth on her tongue. The smooth noodles, infused with rich broth, slid gently down her throat, warming her entire body.
"Hmm, Ichiraku Ramen is still the best."
Shizune couldn't help but squint her eyes, a satisfied smile appearing on her face.
This bowl of ramen brought her more than just delicious food; it also gave her a long-lost sense of peace.
The noodles had just the right amount of elasticity, and paired with the carefully simmered broth, every bite seemed to take her back to the carefree days of her childhood in the village.
That familiar taste allowed her to temporarily set aside all her worries, leaving only the enjoyment of this bowl of ramen.
Jingyin picked up another large mouthful of noodles and savored it slowly.
The rich pork bone broth, combined with the aroma of noodles, melt-in-your-mouth char siu pork, and fresh side dishes, makes this bowl of ramen even better.
She felt her mouth filled with happiness, as if this bowl of ramen could soothe all the weariness in her heart.
"It's true, no matter where I go, Ichiraku Ramen in Konoha Village is still the place that makes me happiest," Shizune thought to herself.
Following Lady Tsunade on her travels, none of the ramen I've had tasted as good as Ichiraku Ramen.
"But the food here is really ruining my ramen experience."
The next second, Jingyin smelled the aroma of snail rice noodles in the air and muttered a complaint under her breath.
The sour, foul smell in the air left Silent speechless.
Although she didn't know what it was, judging from how much the people around her enjoyed it, it seemed to be something delicious.
Silently looked around and saw that many people were eating snail rice noodles, so she shook her head and continued eating her ramen.
"That's strange."
While eating snail rice noodles, Kurenai noticed Shizune in a corner not far away, her face obscured by her lowered head, and immediately raised an eyebrow.
That woman seems a bit strange.
However, the next second, Kurenai withdrew her gaze.
Anyway, it has nothing to do with me, and I don't need to meddle in other people's business.
She also doesn't believe that anyone would cause trouble in the village nowadays.
"Speaking of which, if we leave the village in a few days, we should also buy a new batch of ninja tools."
Kurenai Yuhi realized that after picking up Hinata Hyuga in a few days, they would need to purchase a new batch of ninja tools to go on a mission outside the village.
As a teacher, she couldn't possibly ask her students to bring their own ninja tools.
Outside the village, there weren't enough ninja tools.
When Kurenai thought of ninja tools, she immediately thought of Tenten's ninja tool shop.
We can go and take a look on the way later.
At that moment, Kurenai Yuhi was thinking this.
the other side.
In the jar shop.
When Tian Tian ran in and found that Lin Mo was alone, she asked curiously, "Lin Mo, where's Hinata?"
"Training in the back."
Lin Mo, who was observing the incomplete second gate of the Eight Gates Formation, immediately looked up and chuckled, "It seems you're preparing to leave."
Through Hinata's arrival in the afternoon, Lin Mo learned why Tenten hadn't come today.
Matt Keira went to train with him.
Come to think of it, I wonder if Tian Tian has told Matt Kai about the jar.
At present, it seems not.
Otherwise, there's no reason why someone would come here alone every day.
Thinking that he still needed more than a dozen jars, Lin Mo felt that he could only wait until the day after tomorrow.
"Huh?"
Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Tian Tian immediately ran to the backyard.
In the training ground in the backyard, Hinata Hyuga was packing her things.
When she saw Tian Tian return, she was stunned and exclaimed in surprise, "Tian Tian, what brings you here?"
Wasn't Tian Tian dragged off to training by her instructor?
How come you still have time to come today?
"After I went home today, I heard my dad say that you had been to my house, so I rushed over here."
Tian Tian said with an embarrassed look, "It's all my fault for not telling you beforehand and making you come all this way. I came to see if you were still there."
"Don't leave yet. Let's train a little longer tonight, then have dinner together. It's on me!"
"Uh-huh."
Upon hearing Tenten's words, Hinata Hyuga immediately nodded: "No problem."
"We won't cook today. We'll take Lin Mo out to eat later."
He chuckled to himself, then suddenly remembered something and asked curiously, "By the way, Hinata, how's your Wind Release ninjutsu coming along?"
"A B-rank ninjutsu—Wind Release: Vacuum Ball?"
Hearing Tenten's words, Hinata Hyuga looked up, somewhat confused: "It sounds familiar, what's wrong?"
The ninjutsu he discovered by opening the jar himself didn't require any training; he could use it directly and was very skilled at it.
When the jar was opened, Tian Tian was right next to me and saw it.
Why are you asking this every day now?
"Hehe, I've thought of a great training method."
Tian Tian excitedly rubbed her hands together: "It was when you used that B-rank ninjutsu on me—Wind Release: Vacuum Ball—that I used to dodge and train my movement speed."
"Huh? No way."
Hearing Tenten's words, Hinata Hyuga hurriedly shook her head: "How can this be? This B-rank ninjutsu is very powerful. If it hits you, it will definitely hurt you."
Tian Tian's ideas are really wild.
Serving as a target for B-rank ninjutsu could easily result in serious injury if one is not careful.
"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid."
Hearing Hinata's words, Tenten chuckled and said, "I meant tomorrow and the day after. Aren't you supposed to be returning to the team the day after tomorrow? I got a new taijutsu training program from Guy-sensei, so I wanted to try it out before you leave."
"Of course, I will definitely wear protective armor. You should also control your chakra levels to prevent the Vacuum Ball from causing too much damage."
"If it's feasible, we'll continue training once you return to the village."
"That's fine."
Hinata was taken aback when she heard what Tenten said.
He nodded immediately.
If that's the case, then there's no problem.
"very good."
Seeing that Hinata had agreed, Tenten looked very satisfied.
This way, I can try it out myself, and then train in this direction when I need to.
But the next second, Tenten watched as Hinata simply waved her hand and put the things she had packed into the storage ring on her finger, and she was immediately filled with envy.
"I'm so envious of you, Hinata. Your storage ring is even more convenient than my sealing scroll. I wish I had one too."
This storage ring is so convenient.
"You'll find it next time you open the jar."
Hearing Tenten's words, Hinata said in a low voice, "But if you need it, I can lend you the ring first. I only use it for training. You use ninja tools, so this will be very convenient."
As Hinata spoke, she prepared to take off the storage ring on her hand.
"No, no."
Upon hearing Hinata's words, Tenten immediately stopped Hinata's actions, shaking her head and saying, "You'll be returning to the team in a few days, and you'll definitely need to leave some things behind when you go out of the village for missions."
"However, you shouldn't leave the village. After all, you just graduated, and the only missions you can take on are E-rank and D-rank missions, which are within the village's jurisdiction."
"Keep it for yourself, no need to give it to me. I can open the jar in a few days, and maybe I'll be able to open it then."
Although Hinata was very generous, Tenten felt that she shouldn't take advantage of her like that.
After all, this storage ring is truly valuable.
Upon hearing Tenten's words, Hinata immediately stopped what she was doing and did not undress any further.
"Let's go eat ramen in Larimer."
As she talked, Tenten pulled Hinata toward the jar shop ahead.
"Lin Mo, Lin Mo, let's go out to eat."
Tenten ran in and said to Lin Mo, "Hinata is going back now, and I've been training all day. I think we can go to Ichiraku Ramen for a bowl of ramen."
"I won't be able to cook today because I didn't bring any groceries when I rushed over."
"Yes, that's fine."
Hearing Tian Tian's words, Lin Mo nodded gently.
It's getting late, so it's a good time to have dinner.
There's no food in the restaurant, so we'll just have to go out for a meal.
Thinking this, Lin Mo put the scroll into his storage ring, and then walked out of the jar shop with Hinata and Tenten.
"I can't come tomorrow either."
As Tian Tian walked out of the jar shop with Lin Mo, she looked at Lin Mo with a troubled expression and said, "I have to go to Teacher Kai's place for training tomorrow."
"Isn't that great?"
Hearing this, Lin Mo looked surprised: "Your physical condition has improved a lot. You came here to train in the backyard, but if your teacher leads you to train together, the effect will definitely be greater."
Tenten's mentor is none other than the infamous Blue Beast of Konoha.
"Uh-huh."
Tian Tian nodded in agreement upon hearing Lin Mo's words.
She has already gained a lot from today's training session alone.
"I was originally planning to tell Teacher Kai about Lin Mo and the discarded jars, and bring him here to open them."
Tian Tian sighed again and said, "But before I could finish speaking, he interrupted me. I tried to speak several times, but he kept interrupting me."
"Finally, it was stated that there are no shortcuts in physical combat."
"When he finds out about Lin Mo's jars, let's see if he regrets it!"
Speaking of this, Tian Tian's face puffed up, like a hamster with its mouth stuffed full.
"So that's how it is."
Lin Mo's expression turned strange upon hearing Tian Tian's words.
That makes sense.
He wasn't surprised by Matt Kay's statement.
After all, who would have thought that there were such amazing things as jars?
"Oh right, I'll run over there and grab a spot first."
Suddenly, Tenten hurriedly said, "When I came over, I saw that there were a lot of people in Ichiraku Ramen, and it seemed like there were no seats left. I didn't look carefully at the time, but I'll run over and check now to order some for you. When you get here, you don't need to wait, you can start eating right away."
"Can."
Hearing Tian Tian's words, Lin Mo nodded happily.
Immediately, Tian Tian ran away quickly.
Only Lin Mo and Hinata remained, still walking.
"By the way, why didn't your old man bring some people to open the cans?"
As Tenten left, Lin Mo looked at Hinata beside him, rubbed his chin, and said with a hint of curiosity, "I see that so far, only three people from your Hyuga clan have come to open the can."
Several days have passed, and Hyuga Hiashi still hasn't brought any extra clansmen to open the jar, which is quite unexpected for Lin Mo.
Although he guessed that Hiashi Hyuga wanted to keep it a secret, couldn't he have brought a few close associates to open the can?
"I... I don't know my father's specific thoughts either."
Hearing Lin Mo's words, Hinata blushed and whispered, "But Father said we shouldn't publicize it too much."
"It seems my guess was right."
Lin Mo understood what Hinata meant.
The two chatted as they walked toward Ichiraku Ramen.
At this moment, in Ichiraku Ramen.
Kurenai Yuhi had already led Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame out.
"Teacher Hong, I'll be going now."
Kiba Inuzuka excitedly carried two bowls of packaged snail rice noodles, said goodbye to Kurenai Yuhi, and hurriedly left.
He also wanted to bring the good stuff back to Akamaru.
Shino Aburame nodded to Kurenai Yuhi and said goodbye before leaving.
Kurenai Yuhi, standing at Ichiraku Ramen, stretched her back and squinted her eyes as she prepared to leave.
However, they hadn't walked far when they saw Tiantian running towards them from a distance.
"Sister Ayame, three bowls of Ichiraku Ramen, please!"
Every day after running into Ichiraku Ramen, she would speak to Ayame while holding up three fingers.
"Okay, just a moment."
Upon hearing Tian Tian's words, Chang Pu immediately nodded and said, "Knead the dough for the ramen, and it'll be ready in a bit. It'll be just right in a little while."
"This child ate three bowls?"
Kurenai Yuhi's expression was somewhat strange as she listened to the daily chatter.
Is it safe to eat?
Even if someone has talent in physical combat, they shouldn't be able to eat this much.
Following Matt Kai, it's really...
Thinking of Tenten's teacher, Might Guy, Kurenai Yuhi sighed softly.
How wonderful it would be if every day were spent with my students.
Kurenai then left Ichiraku Ramen and prepared to go home.
However, after walking for a short while, they saw Lin Mo and Hinata Hyuga walking side by side in the crowd not far away.
Hinata Hyuga lowered her head, her fingers intertwined, as if she were saying something.
"Um????"
Upon seeing this, Kurenai's expression suddenly turned strange.
Isn't that young man from the shop I saw yesterday?
Hinata ran into that shop.
Back then, we would go out every day and go with Hinata to an open training ground in the back.
How come you're walking with Lin Mo now?
"Who is this young man?"
Thinking back to how Hinata had even secretly used wind-style chakra to imbue her legs and travel quickly without Hinata noticing, she realized that Hinata hadn't even noticed.
It now appears that Hinata and this person also know each other.
Did you also meet Tiantian at the same time?
"Could they be from over there?"
Kurenai Yuhi carefully examined Lin Mo and found that Lin Mo had fair skin and a temperament different from ordinary people and ninjas.
He was not wearing any ninja headband.
They weren't wearing any ninja-style clothing, so they weren't ninjas at all.
How could he have gotten to know the young lady of the Hyuga clan under these circumstances?
Even the young lady of the Hyuga clan went so far as to secretly use her chakra to travel a long distance to find her.
Could it be?
Suddenly, Kurenai Yuhi thought of something, and her expression turned strange.
The special training that the Hyuga clan chief Hiashi mentioned was Hinata and this young man together?
Isn't this too early?
"wrong."
The next second, Kurenai shook her head, thinking that Hinata had come to Lin Mo's place earlier to look for Tenten, and hadn't really interacted with this person.
But the current situation is clearly one of recognition.
Thinking back to what I just saw, Tian Tian came to Ichiraku Ramen and ordered three bowls of Ichiraku Ramen.
She roughly guessed that Tian Tian had ordered it in advance.
So, these three people know each other.
Suddenly, Kurenai became interested in Lin Mo.
Who is this young man?
She actually managed to walk with the young lady of the Hyuga clan and even got to know Tenten, who runs a ninja tool shop in Konoha.
But he's not from Konoha Village.
She could tell at a glance that Lin Mo was not from Konoha Village just by looking at his clothes.
They were more like the young nobles surrounding the daimyo of the Land of Fire.
"Let's see tomorrow."
Knowing that tomorrow is the penultimate day before the time she had agreed to meet with Hiashi Hyuga, Kurenai Yuhi felt she could take some time to check on him.
Should Hinata go to where this young man is?
She remembered that Might Guy was training today, and Tian Tian was there too.
This also means that during the daytime, he is not by Hinata's side.
Will Hinata come out again?
Kurenai Yuhi was speechless, recalling what Hiashi Hyuga had told her about Hinata undergoing special training within the Hyuga clan.
What kind of special training is this?
For two consecutive days, he was not at his own family's place, but instead underwent special training at a training ground outside.
Then, Kurenai left.
She's already set aside some money; she can continue to observe Hinata tomorrow.
When Kurenai Yuhi left.
Inside Ichiraku Ramen.
Jingyin looked at the bowl of snail rice noodles in front of her, took a deep breath, and naturally started slurping.
She had just finished a bowl of ramen when she decided to pay the bill and leave.
Seeing that everyone was eating snail rice noodles, I became curious and asked around. Changpu told me I could try it.
If it doesn't taste good, then I won't eat it and I don't have to pay.
She would never have tried it if it weren't for the fact that many people at Ichiraku Ramen were eating this kind of snail rice noodle.
After tasting it, she realized she had been wrong.
It smelled very sour and rotten, but it actually tasted very good, instantly winning over her taste buds and leaving her quite shocked.
How can it taste so good!
"It's such a shame that Lady Tsunade isn't here."
Thinking that Lady Tsunade hadn't returned to Konoha, Shizune sighed as she came to Konoha to gather information.
I'm not by Tsunade's side, so I don't know how she is doing.
"It's so late anyway, why don't we stay one more bowl, have some snail rice noodles for breakfast tomorrow, pack one to go, and then leave?"
Jingyin muttered to herself as she ate her snail rice noodles.
Since we've already been staying in Konoha for more than a day, staying another night won't hurt.
Who would have thought this snail rice noodle soup would be so delicious!
