The Third Hokage was truly heartless.

Ten taels of silver can't even buy a bowl of ramen or a bowl of rice noodles.

Naruto noticed the older boy's expression; clearly, he didn't have enough money for a bowl of ramen, so he quickly said...

"If this money isn't enough, then I won't go."

After saying that, he turned around and tried to leave.

He usually eats simple food, which can fill his stomach but doesn't taste very good.

However, he had no complaints. The old man was already a very kind person for taking care of him, an orphan.

Ryosuke then called out to him.

"It's alright, brother will treat you to it."

Chapter 41 Not Letting the Descendants of Heroes Shed Tears

Naruto stared at his older brother with disbelief.

She's such a nice person; not only did she not dislike him, she even treated him to food.

Both eyes were almost filled with tears.

Ryosuke didn't expect the other person to be so touched. It was just a simple thing, like treating someone to ramen.

Just as Ryosuke was leading Naruto toward Ichiraku Ramen, one of the two masked men hiding in the shadows spoke up.

"Captain Kakashi, the Uchiha clan members are getting close to the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki. Isn't that too dangerous?"

Should we go and stop them?

Kakashi waved his hand and said...

"Although this person is from the Uchiha clan, he is a taijutsu ninja and is not dangerous."

"Let's follow the Hokage's instructions and protect him secretly, without revealing our identities."

In fact, his friend Obito Uchiha was also from the Uchiha clan.

He even gave away a Sharingan before his death, proving that not all Uchiha clan members are arrogant and conceited.

Moreover, this Uchiha Ryosuke was someone Guy mentioned as his new close friend; both of them were taijutsu ninjas.

The person Kai approves of must not be an evil person.

Ryosuke quickly led Naruto to Ichiraku Ramen and ordered two generous bowls of ramen from the owner.

He not only invited Naruto to have a serving, but he also wanted to have one for himself.

You'll never get tired of this, no matter how much you eat.

When the owner of Ichiraku saw Naruto enter his shop, he only frowned slightly before relaxing.

Although rumors were circulating everywhere that the child was the reincarnation of a fox spirit, how could he possibly believe such an outrageous claim?

The other person has hands and feet; they are clearly a human child. I don't know which despicable person spread such outrageous news.

A small child was ostracized by these adults.

Let alone children, even adults would probably find it unbearable.

He then prepared to go back to the inner room to prepare a sumptuous bowl of ramen to take care of him.

"Please wait a moment, we'll get it done right away."

Naruto relaxed when he saw the shop owner's expression; this was the first time he hadn't been kicked out of the shop.

Although Ryosuke was going to treat him to ramen, he wouldn't necessarily treat them to a meal if the restaurant didn't allow it, even if they had the money.

Now he can finally relax and try out what kind of delicious ramen Ryosuke was talking about.

The owner quickly brought out two steaming bowls of ramen.

The bowl placed in front of Naruto was clearly larger than his, showing that the restaurant owner had put thought into it.

Ryosuke greeted Naruto with a smile.

"Eat it while it's hot, it tastes even better."

Upon hearing this, Naruto immediately picked up the chopsticks beside him, grabbed a noodle, and put it in his mouth.

This tastes absolutely amazing.

I was so excited, it was absolutely delicious.

He eats ramen just as fast as Ryosuke.

He quickly finished the large bowl of ramen, even drinking several mouthfuls of the soup before he was completely satisfied.

Ryosuke was initially worried that Naruto, being so young, would overeat so much ramen, but seeing that Naruto didn't seem to be in any discomfort, he was relieved.

After all, it's not strange for a boy to eat a big bowl of ramen.

Besides, this is the other person's favorite ramen.

Both of them ate a full bowl of ramen and then sat down at the shop to rest.

Fortunately, there weren't many people in the ramen shop at that time, so it wouldn't affect the shop's business.

Before leaving, Ryosuke took out a large wad of cash and handed it to Boss Ichiraku.

The boss looked very surprised and quickly said...

"Boss, this is obviously too much money. 120 taels would be enough."

Ryosuke explained.

"This is 1920 taels. Naruto, if you want to come here for ramen in the future, the cost will be deducted from here. If you run out of money, just let me know when I come here in the future, and I will prepay."

As the grandson of the Uchiha clan's elder, he has never lacked money.

Naruto is the son of the Fourth Hokage, so his status is in no way inferior to Naruto's, and he shouldn't be short of money.

The owner of Yile finally understood what the other party's plan was, and happily accepted the money.

He did not share the same distrust of the Uchiha clan as the other villagers.

On the contrary, the Uchiha clan's security detail is very strict in enforcing the law, and has arrested many people who wanted to come here to freeload.

He was already running a small business, and if those freeloaders took advantage of him, he wouldn't even bother trying to make money; he'd be lucky to break even.

Naruto looked at Ryosuke with great excitement, and it seemed like tears were about to fall.

He now feels that it's wonderful to be born in this village.

After resting for a while, the two left Ichiraku Ramen and walked together for a distance on the street.

Before parting ways, Naruto asked Ryosuke a question.

"Ryosuke-nii, why are you so nice to me?"

This must be their first time meeting today.

Naruto was genuinely happy that someone was being so kind to him, but he wanted to know why.

Ryosuke spoke slowly.

"Because you are a descendant of heroes."

"We must not let the descendants of heroes shed tears."

The Fourth Hokage and his wife died protecting Konoha; they were truly people who embodied the Will of Fire.

He is a person with virtually no scandals.

Unlike the Third Hokage, who required others to embody the Will of Fire, this is the fundamental difference.

Naruto's eyes were wide open.

The other person's words had completely changed his understanding.

"A descendant of heroes, then whose child am I, and why am I called a fox demon by the villagers?"

Just as Ryosuke was about to reveal Naruto's identity, a white-haired man wearing a mask appeared beside them and said coldly.

"Stop talking."

Ryosuke looked at the newcomer, recognized the white hair, and frowned slightly.

Isn't that Kakashi from the Anbu?

Unexpectedly, it was he who personally protected Naruto.

Naruto was very excited at this moment. He had always wanted to know the identity of his father and the reason why he was called the Demon Fox, because he had hands and feet but no tail, and he didn't look like a fox at all.

Were those villagers really blind? But unexpectedly, he was disturbed at this moment, and his face immediately turned displeased.

"Who are you? What right do you have to interfere in our affairs?"

Chapter 42 This is his test

Kakashi ignored Naruto and instead focused on Ryosuke Uchiha.

Ryosuke didn't want to fall out with Kakashi here, so he smiled and said to Naruto.

"Go back now. You'll find out your identity later."
