Zhu Tian: Starting from the Stand User

Chapter 552 V's Friend

After sitting down on the chair, V noticed Lu Chen and Jiraiya sitting next to him, so he greeted them and said, "I didn't expect to see you here."

He thought Lu Chen had gone somewhere to look for Nagato, after all, Lu Chen had told him before that he was going to look for Nagato's location.

Without waiting for Lu Chen to answer, V continued to say loudly to Yile: "Give me two bowls of ramen. I've heard it's delicious before, I have to try it."

The young cook who was helping out said proudly, "You won't be disappointed. Our ramen is loved by everyone in Konoha."

Although the main role of the little cook Ayame is to help clean the tables, this does not prevent her from starting to help in the store. This is the life of ordinary people except ninjas.

V also asked Kai to have a bowl. After a morning of exercise together, the two had become ordinary friends.

Ichiraku wasn't at all curious about how V ate with a helmet on. There was a ninja in Konoha who ate with a mask on. Ninjas were all weird people anyway.

Lu Chen was very satisfied that V became friends with Kai so quickly. It seemed that V would be able to learn the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu very soon.

Let's go back a little bit. After V went out in the morning, he met Kai who was training alone. As soon as he met him, he realized that this person was the one Lu Chen had mentioned before.

Kai's personal characteristics are too obvious. He is a teenager wearing strange tights and exercising in some strange way.

Although it's rarely shown, he's actually a loner. His father died in the previous war, and his only friend recently ran into trouble. The rest of the village doesn't really accept Kai; to them, he's just a strange young man.

So the only thing Kai can do now is to keep training.

Kai ran into a different person today. V ran beside Kai and even said hello to Kai: "Do you exercise at this time every day?"

Kai heard someone asking him this and immediately replied, "Oh! I'm burning with youth."

A huge flame seemed to be burning behind him.

V also started to burn: "Please let me burn with you."

Hearing that someone wanted to train with him, Kai happily invited: "Please come with me."

In this way, the two completed the morning training together, and agreed to continue training together tomorrow.

Although Kai had never met V, his animal-like intuition told him that this person had no ill will towards him. Therefore, he was very fond of people who were willing to actively communicate with him. In his eyes, V was much better than himself.

Later, V strongly invited Kai to go eat ramen with him, so Lu Chen and the two met here.

In response to V's question, Lu Chen confidently replied, "It's probably because it's dinner time, so it's normal for you to meet me here."

Jiraiya said hello to V and put his share of the money on the table.

After standing up, he said to Lu Chen, "I have to go watch Nagato's training. I will ask the Great Toad Sage about your question." Lu Chen nodded and said, "Then I'll wait for your good news."

Lu Chen took out three portions of noodles and handed them to Changpu, saying, "I paid for their noodles too."

Then he said to V: "I'm leaving first."

He wanted to follow Jiraiya to sense the location of Mount Myoboku.

V, who was eating noodles, waved at Lu Chen without turning his head. The two of them had their own division of labor.

Ayame was surprised not to take the money from the table. When V started eating, she realized that the helmet on his head was not a helmet at all. He was indeed a very strange person.

Lu Chen followed Jiraiya carefully, and with the help of various stealth skills, he was not discovered by Jiraiya.

Jiraiya walked into a deserted alley and clapped his hands on the ground. A cloud of smoke dissipated and he disappeared from the spot. He was no longer the reckless boy who had used summoning magic for the first time.

With the combined power of Lu Chen's aura, magic, and artifacts, the location of Myoboku Mountain was successfully captured by Lu Chen.

Staring at the deserted alley, Lu Chen decided that if Jiraiya didn't give him the answer he wanted tomorrow, he would go to Myoboku Mountain himself.

What should he do next? Going to train with V and Gai might be too much of a stretch. He could give him an animal-type devil fruit in exchange for the Eight Gates, but that would feel a bit contrived.

Since I can get it by making friends, I'll use that method. Then I can have V give him a Devil Fruit. It'll be my reward for learning the Eight Gates. I won't interfere with their friendship.

Lu Chen stood on the busy street, feeling lost in his thoughts. He'd always had clear goals in mind, but now he felt completely lost. He might as well help Chris with his missionary work. It seemed like the people of the Naruto world really needed the spiritual comfort of religion.

If V hadn't decided what kind of eyes to use, I could take this opportunity to get a pair for him.

After a brief moment of thought, Lu Chen decided to harass Minato, as he had nothing else to do anyway. He could also harass Uchiha Itachi while he was at it. Perhaps itachi had a guard with him as a bodyguard. Who knew if his guard would be Shisui?

I heard that Minato went to the Hyuga clan to mediate the family conflict. During this period, the Hyuga clan was the biggest powder keg in Konoha. As one of the two major clans in Konoha, if it was not handled properly, it would greatly weaken Konoha's fighting power.

Although the Byakugan doesn't play a big role in high-end battles, it has great strategic value in battles where the main fighting force is the Jōnin.

Although the Uchiha clan was very dissatisfied with their members being imprisoned and interrogated, the clan leader's appointment to Minato's side as the Hokage's bodyguard, coupled with Fugaku's strong reassurance, calmed the clan down. Fugaku himself did not have the courage to launch a strong rebellion, and he was considered a dove.

After the Hyuga clan lost its power, the branch families were unable to contain their emotions. However, the branch families all had the caged bird curse mark on their heads. In the minds of the terrified main family, the branch family members could not even appear in their presence. Some of the stressed main family members would unnecessarily use the caged bird to protect themselves.

As the Hokage, Minato had no idea how to deal with the Hyuga clan, so Lu Chen decided to join in the fun.

The feuds between wealthy families always arouse people's curiosity.
