(PS: The transition of these chapters does not affect the main line too much, look at the piracy version)

The aroma of ramen fills every corner of the ramen shop.

Located in a secluded location near the glass façade of the ramen shop, Naruto picked up the ramen with his chopsticks with a satisfied face, and ate all the ramen in one go, as if his body and mind had been healed, and he showed an extremely happy smile.

Although it was a bit of an exaggeration for him to behave like this, it also showed that the ramen here completely conquered Naruto's stomach, otherwise he would not have made such an expression.

"It was so delicious! Whether it's the miso soup or the taste of the ramen, it's super top-notch! I can't imagine that I can eat ramen made by my uncle in a foreign country, and I am so happy! ”

As he spoke, Naruto picked up the ramen with his chopsticks again, ate it in one bite, and took a big gulp of soup.

The happy appearance of him when he ate ramen, even a few people next to him couldn't help but be aroused by their appetite when they saw it.

"Thank you so much, Akako, the ramen at this ramen shop you recommended is so delicious."

Naruto put down the large bowl that was already empty in his hand, not to mention the ramen in it, not even a mouthful of soup left, all of which were wiped out by Naruto.

"It's nothing, Naruto if you like it. After all, when you were in the country of waves, you also invited me to eat grilled fish, so this time it was considered a gift. ”

Chiko, who was sitting opposite, shook his head, indicating that it was nothing.

Because Naruto said before that 'I want to eat the best ramen here', then he recommended this place. Seeing that Naruto was very satisfied with the ramen made by this ramen shop, Ako also felt sincerely happy.

Sasuke and Sakura sat on the sidelines, not intervening in the conversation between the two of them.

"Speaking of which, you're a ninja of Konoha, right?"

At this time, a voice interrupted the conversation between Akako and Naruto.

It was a pitch-black four-legged cub that was slightly larger than an ordinary domestic cat, and its tail was like a pet dog.

"The dog talked?"

Naruto was stunned for a moment when he heard Thunder Maru suddenly speak.

Sasuke and Sakura also looked at Thunder Ming Maru in surprise, but they didn't expect this young beast that looked like a pet dog to be able to speak.

"What a faux pas, have you ever seen a dog with horns? No, I'm not a dog originally, but a fairy beast that controls thunder. ”

Thunder Ming Maru, who was half-squatting at the dining table, shook the dark hair on his body and said to Naruto unhappily.

"Immortal beasts?"

Naruto tilted his head.

"Yes, as an immortal beast that controls thunder, I can discharge. How about you, would you like to try the taste of radiotherapy? Definitely make you feel good. ”

Thunder Pill glanced at Naruto, who was outspoken, and the single horn on his forehead suddenly flashed with azure electric light, as if it could be launched at any time.

Compared to Naruto, who was frightened, Sasuke looked at Thunder Ming Maru in surprise.

He could see that the way Thunder Ming Pill stored electricity on the unihorn was some kind of Unsealed Thunder Escape, and he was able to retract and release it freely, and this ability to control Thunder Escape had only been seen in Kakashi so far. In other words, this pitch-black cub, which looked slightly larger than a domestic cat, was probably no weaker than Kakashi in terms of Thunder Escape.

"Brother Raimeimaru, Naruto is my friend, he has no ill will."

Akako dissuaded.

"Don't worry, I'm just scaring him. Anyway, I won't mess around here. ”

Thunder Pill withdrew the electric light from the unicorn as if he had never done anything just now.

"Thundering Pill...... Brother? ”

Naruto couldn't close his mouth in surprise when he heard Akako's name for Thunder Pill.

"That's right, Brother Thunderingmaru is my brother, is there any problem?"

Ako looked at Naruto suspiciously.

"Is it the brother you recognize?"

Naruto choked back the words.

"I'm a brother with Chizi, and you're really rare and weird."

Naruto, who was despised by Thunder Maru, wanted to complain, but didn't know how to complain.

"By the way, this is my sister Tianyu Girl."

Akako introduces Naruto to the maiden-clad girl sitting on the other side of him.

"Ah, hello, I'm Naruto Uzumaki. They are Sasuke Uchiha and Sakura Haruno, my best buddies. ”

Naruto panicked for a moment and greeted the Sky Feather Girl.

The Heavenly Feather Maiden glanced at Naruto faintly, nodded, and then continued to sit on the side in silence.

Some couldn't figure out what was going on in the Heavenly Feather Girl's mind, and Naruto didn't dare to talk casually.

"Don't worry about it, Sister Tianyu has always been like this, in fact, my sister is very good. I always take care of my younger siblings at home, and I am in charge of all the household chores in the house, and I have never made a mistake, even my father and mother are full of praise for this. ”

Akako briefly introduced Naruto's situation to the Heavenly Feather Girl.

To Naruto's surprise, underneath his indifferent appearance, is it an incomparably delicate heart?

But Naruto didn't dwell on it for too long, although he felt that these brothers and sisters of Ako were a little strange, but, it shouldn't matter, right?

"Then again, Naruto, how did you end up in the Land of Demons? I remember Naruto, you are a ninja in Konoha. ”

Akako asked curiously.

Before Naruto could answer, Thunder Ming Maru had already taken the lead in speaking: "It's because of the matter of uniting the middle ninja, so you all passed the first and second exams, right?" ”

Thunder Ming Maru, who knew something about this, deduced that the three Naruto were candidates for the middle ninja exam.

"That's right, and it's not just the first two exams, I also passed the qualifiers today."

Naruto straightened the forehead guard on his forehead, making people's eyes subconsciously focus on his confident smile.

"It does seem like today is the day of the qualifiers."

After Naruto's reminder, Thunder Pill also remembered that the qualifiers were held today.

"In other words, I can see Naruto in the final, you play, right?"

Ako asked expectantly.

"yes, I'll play then."

Naruto replied in a resounding voice.

"Well, that's great, I'll cheer for you Naruto then."

The words that came out of Akako's mouth immediately made Thunder Ming Pill speechless.

"Hey, where the hell are you? Even if you want to go to refuel, you should cheer for the shinobi on our side, right? ”

Even if he is a brother, Lei Mingmaru sometimes can't figure out the inner thoughts of the younger brother of Akako.

"Hmm...... Then I'll cheer for everyone. ”

After thinking about it, he also felt that this was a little inappropriate, so he replied blankly.

This left Thunder Pill speechless.

Next, except for the Tenha girl, including Thunderingmaru, they all enjoyed a delicious ramen meal here. Naruto, in particular, directly wiped out the three bowls of ramen until he couldn't put it down anymore.

Through the glass wall next to it, the lights of the night market are reflected in each other, creating a variety of beautiful scenery. Even at this time, it is still very lively outside, with people coming and going, as if a lively festival is being held.

Before I knew it, more than half an hour passed, and after everyone finished eating ramen, they stood outside the ramen shop. Suddenly from the quiet store to the noisy street, it was as if you had traveled from one world to another.

"So, let's go here and separate. Don't disturb your rest, Akako. ”

Looking at Akako, who had already begun to get sleepy, Naruto was embarrassed to continue to bother Akako as their tour guide.

"I'm sorry, Naruto, I've been sleepy lately because of my physical condition, so I can't be your tour guide in the future."

Akako said apologetically.

"It's okay, it's just us who say thank you, after all, it's the ramen you've treated."

Naruto didn't care.

"I'm sorry." Akako apologized again, then pointed to a route and said, "Next, go three intersections, then turn left and go straight for two intersections, and you will see a ninja shop, from where you can get supplies." ”

"Thank you, let's leave first, and you can go back and rest early."

As he spoke, Naruto waved his hand at Akako, leading Sasuke and Sakura towards the route Akako had indicated.

Seeing Naruto and the three of them go away, Thunder Ming Maru, who was squatting on the shoulders of the Heavenly Feather Girl, spoke: "Although it is not a good thing to listen to, it is better not to have anything to do with the guys in Konoha." ”

This sentence is aimed at the child.

"Why?"

"Konoha is our enemy. You make friends with him now, but sooner or later you will kill him because of your position. ”

Lei Mingmaru looked at the harmless Akako and sighed.

"However, being friends with Naruto doesn't stop me from killing him, right?"

Chizi asked blankly.

"Uh...... You're such a weird guy. ”

Thunder Pill glanced at Akako in astonishment.

"Brother Lei Mingmaru is strange. Even if I kill him then, it won't prevent me from being friends with him. ”

“……”

Compared with the lack of common sense, Lei Mingmaru feels that the child is a natural black.

"Forget it, no matter what you do, you can end your own affairs when the time comes. I'm going to buy some snacks for a late-night snack. By the way, don't tell my father about buying snacks, otherwise I will be confiscated again. ”

Thunder Ming Pill jumped off the shoulder of the Heavenly Feather Girl, and before leaving, he didn't forget to remind the Heavenly Feather Girl and Akako, telling them that they couldn't tell anyone about buying snacks.

Especially the Father who is the Creator.

Otherwise, his snacks would suddenly disappear at some unknown time.

◎

After separating from the three of them, Naruto, Sasuke, and Sakura walked in the direction of the ninja shop.

"It's still very strange, Akako is obviously a teenager older than me, and now he has become a child. And that older brother of his...... They're not supposed to be a species. ”

Thinking of Thunder Ming Maru's posture that had no connection with humans at all, Naruto couldn't imagine that the other party turned out to be Akako's own brother.

Even if he was separated from Chizi, he was still worried about these things, but it was not easy to speak in front of Chizi just now.

"The man called Akako is indeed very strange. And it's not just him, the two ...... around him It's also strange to count it as a human being. ”

Sasuke lowered his head, also thinking about Akako.

When he was in the country of waves, he had seen the child.

At that time, he was still a teenager, but when he met again at this time, he suddenly became a child, and his body seemed to have degenerated.

"Is it a secret technique similar to the Autumn Dao clan? Since there are secret techniques for increasing volume, there may also be secret techniques for reducing volume. ”

Sakura offered her opinion.

"I'm not referring to his size, but to the aura of his body that is very incompatible with normal humans...... This strange aura that is contrary to normal human beings is also reflected in another man and beast. ”

It's just that, despite this speculation, Sasuke still didn't say the idea that 'they are not humans'.

The form of the Thunder Pills is far from that of humans, that's for sure.

But the form of the other two, no matter how you look at it, is no different from normal people.

Sasuke shook his head, maybe he was thinking too much.

Moreover, this kind of thing didn't have much to do with him in the first place, so he didn't think about it further.

"Look, is the ninja shop there?"

Naruto suddenly pointed to a storefront near the end of the street, and in front of the store, a double-sided billboard was erected, with the words 'Yamazaki Ninja Shop' on both sides.

"Looks like it's here, let's go inside."

Sasuke glanced at the billboard, which was undoubtedly the location of the ninja shop.

The façade of this ninja shop is not small, and compared to the façade of the surrounding shops, it is a relatively large façade.

There are only one or two ninja shops with such a wide storefront, even in Konoha Village. However, a ninja shop of this size, in the country of ghosts, can only be regarded as an ordinary level.

"Welcome...... Well, it's you. ”

As soon as the girl's voice sounded, she recognized the identities of Naruto and the others.

"You are the ...... of the Oni Country"

Sakura also recognized the identity of the girl in front of her.

"Hanami Haruka, please advise."

The girl smiled generously.

"Hello, may I ask you are the ...... of this ninja shop"

Sakura wanted to ask something, but Hanami Haruka shook her head and replied, "No, this ninja shop is managed by that guy from Yamazaki, the one who is in the same team as me." He went out temporarily, so please let me look at the store for him here. You can tell from the name of this ninja shop. ”

"Is that so?"

"Yes, then, are you here at this time to buy forbearance?"

Haruka Hanami asked with a smile, although she seems to be a weak type of girl, her personality is not gloomy and introverted, but she is very talkative.

"I need some kunai and shuriken...... Is there a detonator? ”

Sasuke asked.

"Yes, please come over here."

Haruka Hanami led the three of them to a corner, and on the shelves in this row, all of them were kunai and shuriken.

"Is this all kunai and shuriken?"

Sasuke picked up a kunai and played with it in his hand.

"Yes, but the appearance and color are the same, but the materials made are different. For example, this kind of thing is very suitable for Wind Ninja to use, and if the wind attribute chakra is attached to it, it can greatly enhance the power of kunai. Another example is this kind of kunai, which has better conductive properties than ordinary kunai......"

Hanami Haruka introduced the kunai and shuriken categories here to the three of Sasuke, and what system of ninjas they were suitable for.

In addition to these, there are also ninja knives, wind demon shuriken and other ninja tools, all of which are well-made.

"I didn't expect the kunai and shuriken types here to be so carefully divided."

Sakura exclaimed.

"Isn't that the ninja shop in Konoha like that?"

"No, all we sell there are uniform standard kunai, unless we make it ourselves, we use standard kunai."

Sakura said.

"In that case, you have finally come to the land of ghosts, so let's buy more. It just so happens that there is a promotion these days, and if you are over 500,000 taels, you can get a nine-percent discount. If you spend 1 million taels, you can get a 20% discount. If the cumulative amount reaches 2 million taels, you can be given a 7% discount. Would you like to consider buying more? ”

Looking at Haruka Hanami's efforts to sell, Sakura smiled slightly awkwardly.

No matter what, if you are alone, you can't buy so many ninja tools, right?

"Well, you're not from this store, right?"

"I only work here occasionally, but most of the time I help out at the shrine. If I sell a little more, I can also get a lot of dividends here. ”

Haruka Hanami explained with a smile.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have tried to sell here.

"You work so hard, are you very short of money?"

Sakura couldn't help but ask when she saw Hanami Haruka so dedicated.

"It's not a shortage, I just think it's fun to work part-time. Speaking of which, I remember you were a medical ninja, right? ”

Hanami stared at Sakura.

"Yes, yes."

Sakura took a step back, and for some reason, she suddenly felt that the other party had become terrifying.

"So, do you want to go to my house after that?"

"Your home?"

"Yes, my family sells medical equipment. There are a lot of medical equipment that medical ninjas dream of, and for the sake of the honored guests, I can give you a little discount when the time comes. ”

Sakura's hand shook slightly.

Medical equipment?

Although she was a little excited, Sakura faintly felt that the medical equipment sold at the other party's house was probably not a bargain.

"No, let's talk about the ninja."

"Oh."

Haruka Hanami was a little pity, but he quickly cheered up and continued to lead the three of them around the store to see the detonation charm in the store.

There are many types of detonation charms here, there are waterproof types, trigger types, and lead types. In addition, there is also a metal ball similar to the Detonator, the name is the Detonator, which is a new type of Explosive Ninja Equipment, and the power is generally stronger than the Explosive Talisman.

These explosive ninja tools are all displayed in high-thickness glass cabinets, and are separated layer by layer, and arranged in orderly parts. Instead of being placed directly on the counter and left to customers to fiddle around.

"Because these explosive ninja equipment is not easy to actually display, so, here's a video, you can learn about the specific power of these explosive ninja equipment from the video, and then choose to buy the right one for yourself."

Haruka Hanami uses the remote control to turn on the TV not far away, and shows the image of the use of explosive ninja inside, so that people can intuitively feel what kind of power each different type of explosive ninja has.

This intuitive viewing mode is very satisfying to Sasuke.

After turning around, Sasuke said directly: "This kind of kunai and shuriken with conductive properties, three hundred each. Then there are thirty detonation charms of the waterproof type......"

As Sasuke kept talking, Haruka Hanami also took out a notebook and began to record the goods that Sasuke wanted to buy, as well as the quantity.

In the end, the amount of money counted was as high as 3.7 million taels.

Seeing this heart-warming sale, Hanami Haruka's smile deepened as he looked at Sasuke.

"Sasuke, are you going to buy so much?"

Sakura and Naruto were surprised.

"Well, I don't know when I'll come back to the country of ghosts next time, so I bought it all at once."

Sasuke nodded faintly and explained.

"So, do you want to pick it up now, or do we mail it to Konoha?"

Hanami Haruka asked at this time.

"Ten kunai, twenty shurikens, ten waterproof detonators and detonator balls. The rest will be mailed directly to Konoha Bar. How much does it cost? ”

"Don't worry, the cost of the road will be borne by our side."

Hanami Haruka said intimately.

"That's good. Also, I don't have enough cash on me right now, so I'll send it back when I get back to Konoha. ”

Sasuke's face remained unchanged when he said this.

"No problem, the credibility of the Uchiha clan is still trustworthy."

Haruka Hanami's empathy made Sasuke more satisfied with the service attitude of this ninja shop.

Haruka Hanami sent Sasuke and the others away, and five minutes later, a teenager about Haruka Hanami's age walked in.

"What are you doing standing here?"

"I just sent the guests away, and I helped you finish a big order for Yamazaki, remember to treat you after the final."

Haruka Hanami said to Hisashi Yamazaki who walked in.

"Big order?"

Yamazaki blinked, a little unclear.

"Here you go."

Haruka Hanami took the ledger to Yamazaki Hisashi.

Yamazaki took a long look, and suddenly his eyes widened, as if they were about to bulge out, and he was dumbfounded.

"Three, three million seven thousand taels!?"

He looked at Haruka Hanami in disbelief and asked, "Why are there so many?" What did you do? ”

Looking at the sales on the ledger, Yamazaki was a little hard to believe.

He just left for a while, why did he suddenly order an order of 3.7 million taels?

"Of course, I met a customer who made a bold move. That person you also know, it's Sasuke Uchiha, the opponent of Kaoru in the final. ”

"Uchiha Sasuke?"

Hisashi Yamazaki saw the name of the purchaser after the account and fell into deep thought.

The Uchiha clan is really rich.

There was only one thought in his head.

Whether it's the country of ghosts or Konoha, they are worthy of being a wealthy family.

I feel that after completing this order, I can close the door this month and no longer have to do business.

And if this line can continue to develop, then it will no longer be a fantasy to open a Yamazaki ninja chain store in various countries in the ninja world.

"Yes, if you look at it up close, it looks cool, and it's really handsome."

Haruka Hanami said with a smile.

"Handsome can't be eaten."

Yamazaki said with some taste.

"Hehe, people are not only handsome, but also richer than you. The strength may be stronger than you, and he is from a wealthy family, with a rare blood inheritance limit. It's simply the prince charming of all girls' fantasies. ”

Haruka Hanami smiled again.

“…… You're not going to like him, are you? In that case, the Fog Branch will kill him! ”

Yamazaki said worriedly.

"I'm just looking at him with admiration."

Haruka Hanami rolled her eyes at Yamazaki Hisashi.

"In this way, your relationship with the fog branch is really not normal."

"Yamazaki, kill you."

Haruka Hanami said in an eerie tone.

Regarding the threat of Haruka Hanami, Yamazaki Hisashi didn't care.

"Alright, now that you're back, it's time for me to go."

Haruka Hanami plans to leave.

"So early?"

"It's not too early, I'm going to the shrine tomorrow to help Kirista with the exorcism. If it weren't for you, I would have been there after the afternoon qualifiers. ”

Seeing Hanami Haruka packing up his things and preparing to leave, Yamazaki nodded and said, "Okay, remember to say hello to Kirieda for me tomorrow, and I won't go." ”

Although he was very curious about how Haruka Hanami, an unrelated person who was not a witch, could help Kirieda carry out the exorcism ritual, but thinking that this was a secret between girls, he was not good at delving into it.

His instinct told him that if he knew too much, he would definitely be killed.

The secrets between girls are really terrible.

◎

The night breeze is blowing, and a crescent moon hangs in the sky.

From the top of the building, you can see the surrounding streets from here.

There are two people standing here, blowing a pleasant evening breeze.

"I didn't expect you to come here in person, what happened?"

Leaning against the railing of the building's rooftop, Kakashi took out "Intimacy Heaven" and read it, scanning the afterglow of his eyes to the person next to him.

He has long white hair, an iron protector engraved with the word 'oil' on his forehead, and red oil paint under his eyes, like blood and tears.

It is Jiraiya, one of the three ninjas of Konoha.

He was now looking down at the street below, a slight smile on his lips, as if he had seen something extremely interesting.

"Naruto, this kid is really carefree, and his head is not smart, which is completely different from when Mizumon was a child."

I don't know what I remembered, and I suddenly sighed.

"Maybe it's with the mother, this child is indeed a headache a lot of the time."

Kakashi agrees.

"Alas, creation makes people. If they hadn't died, maybe they wouldn't have done so much now. ”

Zilai smiled helplessly, although he had some nostalgia for the good old days, but he also knew that people could not be resurrected after death. As the living, they can only carry the will of the dead and move on.

Whether it's the water gate as a disciple, or the Konoha ancestors who have long since passed away.

This is the only thing he can do as one of the three ninjas.

Immediately after, the smile on his face disappeared, and his expression became serious: "That organization is starting to be active again. According to the information I received, they got another tailed beast not long ago. ”

"Really? With that said, their next target ......"

Kakashi's flipping through the book paused slightly.

"Naruto or Iara...... Perhaps both are their next targets. ”

Jiraiya nodded.

However, Orochimaru, who appeared in the second exam room, doesn't seem to have this plan. He only left a curse mark on Sasuke's body and left directly. ”

"Although Orochimaru's actions are indeed suspicious, the necessary precautions must be established. That's why I'm here. By the way, there is also a task assigned by the old man, hoping to get some assistance from the country of ghosts. ”

It also seems to be powerless.

On his side, he tried his best to reject the country of ghosts, but Konoha, as the dominant position, was hostile to the country of ghosts while seeking opportunities for cooperation.

This makes Jiraiya's heart very complicated.

"I think it's difficult, the country of ghosts doesn't have tailed beasts in hand, and it's not so easy to pull them into the water."

"Do your best, the old man didn't ask for it anyway. Also, there are just a few days left before the finals, so Naruto's side will officially hand it over to me. You go and take charge of the other, I'm afraid that Orochimaru will make a comeback again and attack Sasuke Uchiha. ”

Self-coming is also a positive color road.

"Yes, my ninjutsu is not very suitable for Naruto, and if you take over, my job will be much easier."

Kakashi agreed, leaving Jiraiya in charge of guiding Naruto next.

"Then it's decided, tomorrow I'll take Naruto to the agreed place to meet, and I'll go back and prepare, I hope everything is in time."

After Jiraiya finished speaking, his hands were sealed, and his shadow clone was lifted, turning into a puff of smoke and disappearing.

Looking at the disappeared Jiraiya, Kakashi didn't say anything, closed "Intimacy Heaven", left the rooftop, and walked towards the floor below.

It wasn't until he was in front of the door of a room on the eleventh floor that Kakashi stopped, took a deep breath, and then tapped twice on the door panel, twisted the doorknob, and walked into the room.

In the room, the wine table was already set, and a man and a woman were sitting there.

Kakashi said to the two of them:

"I'm sorry, Obito, Lyn, for keeping you waiting." **
