Chapter 293 Otsutsuki Ichiraku

　This content was first published here (second update).

　Ichiraku Ramen's flavor is truly unique and unforgettable! Ye Chen also praised it in his heart, "No wonder it's the gold standard of the entire Naruto world, the taste is amazing!" He couldn't resist and ate three large bowls in one go, about six-tenths full! Minato Namikaze forced a smile and paid the money.

　Frog's wallet was even thinner! The four of them got up to leave, their laughter echoing through the room.

　"Hey buddy, you look so familiar."

　Ichiraku Otsutsuki couldn't help but ask.

　"Hehe, maybe you're seeing things!"

　Ye Chen shook his head and smiled, offering no explanation.

　Three years ago, when I was still in Konoha, I often came to Ichiraku Ramen to order food.

　He had been away for three years, spending time on the battlefield; such a long time must have caused significant changes in his appearance.

　Only people who are frequently together or very familiar with each other won't feel anything.

　Ichiraku Otsutsuki has a decent memory; at least he recognizes Yoruichi.

　"Dazzled"

　Yi Le muttered to himself, not thinking much of it, because the busyness of the noodle shop left him no time to think about anything else.

　Earning money to support his family and getting married is his most important thing right now.

　Outside the noodle shop, since it was Minato Namikaze who was treating, Ye Chen still said, "Minato, thank you for the hospitality."

　"You're welcome! More than anything, I should thank you for teaching me the Rasengan ninjutsu."

　Minato Namikaze said

　"What Rasengan?"

　Kushina said suspiciously.

　"Even if I don't teach a ninjutsu..."

　"Minato, with your talent, you'll create a similar ninjutsu sooner or later."

　Ye Chen said

　"Creating a ninja style from scratch, especially without any hand seals, would take even me at least three to five years."

　Because the theoretical knowledge involved is too complex.

　Minato Namikaze said

　Ye Chen remained silent. He was merely standing on the shoulders of giants; there was nothing to be proud of.

　Kushina, on the other hand, thought Yoruichi was incredibly powerful, especially since even Minato Namikaze admired him so much and seemed to have learned some of Yoruichi's techniques.

　"Perhaps!"

　Ye Chen said

　"Furthermore, I've discovered that this ninjutsu has enormous potential; its unique power generation techniques and its unrestricted versatility are unparalleled among all ninjutsu."

　Minato Namikaze exclaimed in admiration

　Because of the Rasengan, he's been bursting with inspiration lately and has already thought of many variations.

　One of them is injecting a large amount of chakra, where quantitative change leads to qualitative change.

　A technique took shape in his mind, and he even had a name for it: "Great Ball Rasengan."

　Minato Namikaze already possesses the three chakra natures of wind, earth, and fire, and he plans to infuse the Rasengan with elemental transformations! However, this step will require a significant amount of time. Once that technique is completed, it's estimated that the Konoha Sealing Scroll will contain several more forbidden techniques.

　"Study hard, Minato. Your potential is enormous, no less than mine, and I have high hopes for you."

　Ye Chen said

　Upon hearing this, Minato Namikaze looked a little embarrassed, turned the back of his head, and said, "Not at all, I'm far inferior to Yoru-kun."

　(1/3)

　Ye Chen smiled but didn't say anything more.

　Within the series, Minato Namikaze's talent definitely ranks in the top three.

　If he hadn't died so young, perhaps his future wouldn't have been weaker than those overpowered characters later on! Aside from Might Guy's Eight Gates and his single kick, Minato Namikaze also rose from a ninja without any special background or bloodline limit to reach the pinnacle of ordinary ninja strength—something not everyone can do.

　Ye Chen is like this because he keeps opening...

　He's cheating! Otherwise, under the same conditions, he might have been left far behind by Minato Namikaze long ago.

　As for the Leaf Village Rakshasas, they would not exist.

　While his existence altered the history of the ninja world to some extent, it didn't bring much change to him personally.

　"Ye Chen, let's go explore somewhere else!"

　Kushina was annoyed that Minato Namikaze was constantly chatting with Yoruichi; she resented that the blond third wheel was just too much of an eyesore.

　Uzumaki Yoshiko also gave Namikaze Minato, the technical fanatic who loved ninjutsu, a wink! Minato realized what she meant and said, "Yoru-kun, let's talk again next time."

　"Row"

　Ye Chen said

　"Miko, don't stay out all the time! Come home early. Some people seem like little lambs on the surface, but they're big bad wolves inside. Be careful!"

　Kushina deliberately said

　""

　Uzumaki Miko

　Minato Namikaze smiled wryly to himself, wondering where he had offended Kushina.

　This isn't implying he's the Big Bad Wolf, "Let's go!"

　Kushina took Yoru's arm and walked in the opposite direction.

　Minato Namikaze looked at Miko Uzumaki and asked, "Miko, shall we continue shopping?"

　"No, let's go home first!"

　Uzumaki Yoshiko said in a serious tone, seemingly influenced by Kushina's words just now.

　"Why!"

　Minato Namikaze looked dejected.

　When Miko Uzumaki saw Minato Namikaze at this moment, a sly smile appeared on her face.

　What an idiot, he doesn't understand girls' feelings at all.

　The girl's refusal naturally meant the opposite! Kushina and Yoru continued walking forward, quickly leaving the street and arriving at a very familiar place—the Konoha Ninja Academy.

　Upon arriving here, Ye Chen revealed a hint of nostalgia.

　In fact, my strongest memories of coming into this world are from training at the ninja academy.

　He had just arrived in Konoha when his talent for ninja training was detected.

　Ye Chen began his arduous struggle, striving to become stronger. After all, in the Naruto world, if you don't become stronger, you're just cannon fodder, someone who could die at any moment.

　However, after many attempts, Ye Chen discovered that although he had ninja talent, it was only average.

　The hope of becoming a powerful figure was slim, but fortunately, he knew that even focusing solely on taijutsu (body techniques) could make him very strong. So, Ye Chen began his hellish training, honing his physical body. While other children were playing in class and learning ninjutsu, he was far from achieving that level of prowess.

　He was putting all his effort into training his physical skills, and at that time, Ye Chen was also enduring the cold stares of many people.

　Training in ninjutsu is the trend in this world; taijutsu is destined to offer little opportunity for advancement.

　His actions, in particular, were unusual in the ninja academy, and there was nothing particularly strange about them.

　(2/3)

　Friend, I'm a loner

　Looking back now, Ye Chen smiled with relief, having let go of the past.

　It's a case of hardship finally paying off; without the system, he couldn't have gotten to where he is now.

　However, if he didn't cultivate relentlessly and endure life-or-death trials after acquiring the system, he might lose his original aspirations.

　Thinking that having a system makes you invincible wouldn't have allowed you to reach your current level.

　"Ye Chen, let's go inside and take a look."

　Kushina saw the Ninja Academy and a hint of nostalgia appeared on her face. She tugged at Ye Chen's arm.

　"Um"

　Ye Chen nodded, and then the two of them entered the long-unseen ninja academy.
