My older sister is Kushina

Several days have passed since the Nine-Tails' rampage, and Konoha Village seems to have returned to peace.

However, a somber atmosphere still lingered over the entire village. Although the Nine-Tailed Fox's sudden attack was eventually quelled, the battle caused considerable losses to Konoha, especially among the ninja, resulting in numerous casualties.

Some people have even lost both parents, such as Iruka.

The Konoha leadership classified the Nine-Tails attack as top secret and imposed a news blackout. This was for the sake of the entire village. The Third Shinobi World War had only recently ended, and if other ninja villages learned that Konoha had lost a large number of ninja, it could very likely trigger a new war.

In the past few days, Konoha's security level has been raised to S-rank, and people entering the village are being strictly checked.

Uzumaki Hanamichi carried a wooden case on his back and walked slowly toward Konoha Village.

The backpack contained some simple kitchen utensils, ingredients, and seasonings.

In Konoha, he is known as a gourmet.

After being deemed unsuitable to become a ninja by the Ninja Academy, Uzumaki Hanamichi devoted himself to his dream of cooking and achieved some success in the field of wood cuisine, such as defeating Ichiraku Ramen.

A squad of ninjas, including many Jonin, stood guard at the entrance to the village.

Uzumaki Hanamichi glanced at the ninjas on duty and quickly spotted two familiar figures.

A man with white hair, wearing a black mask, his left eye covered by a headband, and dressed in a black tight-fitting combat suit, was none other than the man who would later be known as "Konoha's Number One Technician"—Kakashi Hatake.

The other person has a kappa-like hairstyle, thick eyebrows, a resolute face, and wears a green, tight-fitting training uniform. He is none other than the super-passionate teacher who will forever sing the praises of youth, the man known as "Konoha's proud blue beast"—Might Guy.

However, both of them are still just teenagers.

During his years in Konoha, although Uzumaki Hanamichi kept a low profile, he still paid a lot of attention to and made contact with these future Konoha talents. For example, he had tried to win over Kakashi Hatake with food, thinking it was necessary to maintain a friendly relationship with this genius ninja who could go toe-to-toe with anyone, as he might be of great use in the future.

Furthermore, as a Naruto enthusiast, he is also a huge fan of Kakashi Hatake.

Please show your identification!

When Uzumaki Hanamichi arrived at the gate of Konoha Village, the ninja on duty immediately stepped forward to question him.

Uzumaki Hanamichi quickly produced the identification documents of a Konoha villager.

"A master of flower arrangement!"

Just as Hanamichi took out his ID, a voice tinged with surprise rang out.

Immediately afterwards, a figure flashed to the side of Uzumaki Hanamichi.

That figure was none other than Kakashi Hatake.

Uzumaki Hanamichi looked at Hatake Kakashi and gave him a bright smile: "Kakashi!"

A certain "Azure Beast" followed closely behind: "Flower Arrangement Master, what about me!"

Whirlpool Flower patted the energetic young man on the shoulder: "Kai, you've grown quite a bit taller."

Matt Kay flashed his signature, radiant smile: "Of course!"

The ninja on duty saw that Uzumaki Hanamichi was familiar with Hatake Kakashi and Might Guy, so they didn't question him too much and quickly let him pass.

Uzumaki Hanamichi: "Kakashi, Guy, I'll treat you to my newly developed cuisine sometime."

Ah Kai exclaimed excitedly, "Okay, flower arrangement master!"

Kakashi Hatake's eyes showed anticipation.

Uzumaki Hanamichi quickly bid farewell to Hatake Kakashi and Might Guy, as the two had duty to perform.

Upon entering Konoha, one can still sense a somewhat melancholic atmosphere from Uzumaki Hanamichi.

Suddenly, he stopped and looked at a noodle shop not far away—Ichiraku Ramen!

Then, Whirlpool Flower Michi walked towards Ichiraku Ramen.

As he walked into the ramen shop, he immediately spotted the square-faced manager of Ichiraku.

The two have been friends for a long time.

"Uncle Ichiraku, long time no see!"

Whirlpool Flower Path greeted a middle-aged man warmly.

An older man didn't notice Uzumaki Hanamichi enter the shop at first. He only turned around when he heard the greeting. Upon seeing Uzumaki Hanamichi, his face immediately lit up with surprise and joy, but he quickly put on an angry expression: "Hmph, you still have the nerve to go back to Konoha, huh? My Ayame misses you terribly."

Uzumaki Hanamichi: "I miss Ayame-neechan too!"

"Hanamichi-nii!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a girl with a charming smile appeared next to Ichiro.

The girl's cheeks flushed slightly!

When Hanamichi Uzumaki defeated her father's Ichiraku Ramen, she developed a strong liking for him. She used to think that her father's ramen was invincible, but Hanamichi won!

Whirlpool Flower Descent glanced at the iris: "Wow, it's matured quite a bit!"

The girl's cheeks turned even redder.

Hakuo Hanamichi ordered a bowl of his favorite tonkotsu ramen.

He defeated Ichiraku Ramen in the Konoha cooking competition mainly because of their noodles; his Lanzhou ramen was much chewier.

After eating a large bowl of tonkotsu ramen, Uzumaki Hanamichi was about to say goodbye to Ichiraku and Ayame when a beautiful figure rushed into the ramen shop.

The newcomer had long, light yellow hair tied in a ponytail, thin, short eyebrows, bright brown eyes, light red lips, and fair skin, but what was most attractive was her voluptuous figure.

Extremely popular!

When Uzumaki Hanamichi saw the person who had arrived, he was slightly taken aback. The person in front of him was none other than Tsunade, the dream girl he had been watching Naruto!

Having already made a name for herself during the Second Shinobi World War, she was already one of Konoha's heroes.

Uzumaki Hanamichi had little contact with Tsunade, having only seen her from afar a few times. Today was the first time he had met Tsunade so closely.

In the 48th year of Konoha, Tsunade was still a woman under forty, not the old woman mentioned by some protagonist. With excellent maintenance, she looked like she was in her twenties.

Tsunade plopped down, quickly noticing Uzumaki Hanamichi beside her, and frowned slightly.

Staring blankly at someone is obviously impolite.

Uzumaki Hanamichi quickly realized his lapse in composure and hurriedly said, "Lady Tsunade!"

Tsunade didn't know Uzumaki Hanamichi, but she nodded politely in response to the greeting.

Although Uzumaki Hanamichi wanted to stay a little longer, he had already finished his noodles, so he had to say goodbye to Ichiraku and Ayame and leave Ichiraku Ramen.

After leaving Ichiraku Ramen, Uzumaki Hanamichi locked onto a direction and hurried off.

"Little nephew, your uncle is here!"

Uzumaki Hanamichi's next destination is to find his sister Kushina and his nephew Naruto Uzumaki. He changed the history of Naruto during the Nine-Tails Night. He doesn't know how the Naruto world will develop from here on out, but no matter how it develops, he must gather his strength to prepare for possible future changes. The mastermind behind the scenes has god-level strength. Although his current strength is not inferior to that of a Kage, he is still far behind the mastermind.
