Naruto: Starting from Eating the Gold Fruit

Chapter 487 A Few Things About Kiba Inuzuka (Part 2)

Ichiraku Ramen Shop:

The middle-aged man and his daughter were busy with two apprentices.

The shop was already packed with people.

When Uncle Hand-Typsum saw Yuya arrive, he immediately greeted her warmly.

"Hey bro, bro, you're here! Please come in, please come in."

You Ya smiled and looked at the shop, which was packed with people: "Wow, so many people! Are there no seats left?"

The middle-aged man chuckled and shook his head: "One table of people will be leaving soon."

Yuya looked over in confusion and saw that a group of children dressed in Konoha University uniforms had indeed stood up.

"Goodbye, Uncle Hand-Typist, we'll come again tomorrow." One of the girls even smiled and greeted Hand-Typist.

The middle-aged man waved happily, "Great! Come back tomorrow and I'll give you a 20% discount!"

Then Shouda said to Youya, "These college students have a lot of things to learn, and they don't have much time to eat. They always come and go in a hurry."

However, they were much more civilized than the other guests; they didn't speak loudly or shout. Ah, children these days are so much more polite than we were back then.

You Ya smiled.

At that time, he looked like a young man in his late twenties or early thirties.

He and Tsunade are quite a good match.

"Please, please have a seat. But young man... are you from the Inuzuka clan?"

You Ya laughed: "Of course not."

"So this child is...?"

"Oh, one of my cousins ​​married into the Inuzuka family, so this... well, you could say he's my cousin's nephew."

As Yuya spoke, he chuckled and patted Inuzuka Kiba's head.

The middle-aged man, chuckling, said with a string of wins, "I see."

"Same as before, three giant ramen sets today."

The middle-aged man nodded repeatedly, smiling as he instructed the people backstage: "Three Big Macs!"

"Okay!" x3

This is why Yuya and Tsunade really like Ichiraku Ramen.

The kitchen is open and transparent; you can see at a glance whether it's dirty or not, and what kind of ingredients are used.

Unlike some unscrupulous businesses, they have started serving pre-made dishes.

Tsunade was furious about this but there was nothing she could do.

Kiba Inuzuka was a little reserved. He wouldn't be like this if he were alone with the Hokage, but in a place like a ramen shop...

He was a little scared.

"Don't worry, haven't you noticed? Everyone here has their own things to do."

As You Ya spoke, he picked up two bottles and tapped them together, and the caps of both bottles were pried open at the same time.

He handed Tsunade a bottle, and the two clinked glasses. Kiba Inuzuka, who was standing to the side, also seemed to relax.

After all, he had just seen it too.

At the surrounding tables, some people were laughing and joking, some were playing on their phones, and some were even sleeping.

But nobody noticed him here.

"Well then, can you tell me now why you have this idea?"

Kiba Inuzuka looked at Yua, thought for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Hokage-sama, today, I saw Naruto and Sasuke fighting on the playground..."

It turns out that Kiba Inuzuka saw Sasuke and Naruto fighting with their flashy ninjutsu and thought of himself, realizing he could only do things like "Fang Over Fang" and stuff...

Kiba Inuzuka was naturally resentful; he wanted to be like Naruto and Sasuke.

But... he's a member of the Inuzuka clan...

That's why he had this question:

"...So does that mean...our Inuzuka clan is only capable of cultivating the unity of human and dog?"

Yuya looked at Kiba Inuzuka, pursed her lips, and then smiled, "Of course not."

"Then why...?"

Yuya and Tsunade exchanged a glance and both laughed.

Yuya looked at Kiba Inuzuka and said, "Just like everyone in this shop is doing different things, in Konoha Village, each clan also has its own things to do."

Seeing that Kiba Inuzuka still wanted to speak, Yua shook her head and interrupted Kiba Inuzuka: "I know what you want to say. Your family has a deep bond with ninja dogs, so you feel that you should be the same."

But have you ever considered that this is actually just your family's way of survival?

Kiba Inuzuka was taken aback, then looked at Yua with a puzzled expression: "The way to survive?"

You Ya smiled slightly and said, "Actually, I really enjoy studying history because you can understand a lot of things when you study history."

Take your Inuzuka clan, for example.

During the Warring States period, your Inuzuka clan was not recognized by the daimyo and was not expected by the ninja clans because your clan was too weak. The daimyo preferred to hire powerful clans like the Uchiha or Senju clans as henchmen rather than you. And the ninja clans would not be willing to accept a weak clan like yours and add to their burden.

Therefore, the head of your Inuzuka clan at the time decided to learn from this painful experience and find a way to ensure the continuation of the clan.

So he tamed a group of ninja dogs, and that tradition has been passed down ever since.

Later, your Inuzuka clan relied on hunting and farming for a living, and you managed to make ends meet; at least you didn't have to worry about anyone starving to death.

Kiba Inuzuka had never heard this part of history before. He looked at Yua with anticipation and asked, "And then? How did our clan end up in Konoha?"

Yuya looked at Kiba Inuzuka, then revealed a cruel smile and said, "Later, the Inuzuka clan's territory was discovered by another ninja clan. They were envious. Their ninja clan had to guard the daimyo's house and serve the daimyo in order to get food. Why should your Inuzuka clan be able to occupy such a good place?"

So they fought the Inuzuka clan, and only a little over a hundred members of the Inuzuka clan escaped to Konoha, which had only recently been established.

After saying that, Yua smiled slightly at Kiba Inuzuka and said, "So there's no need to lack confidence in your fighting strength, because the Inuzuka clan's fighting strength has always been this weak."

Kiba Inuzuka: "..."

Tsunade slapped Yua's hand in displeasure.

After all, Kiba Inuzuka was almost crying, and you still say that...

That's bullying.

As she gets older, Tsunade does find children more and more pleasing to the eye.

Yuya smiled slightly and continued, "Even so, the Inuzuka clan is an indispensable part of Konoha Village."

Kiba Inuzuka looked at Yua with tears in his eyes: "Why, why? The Inuzuka clan is so weak..."

You Ya smiled slightly, just about to speak, when suddenly the sound of a bell came from the entrance of the ramen shop.

You Ya was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and looked towards the door.

Kiba Inuzuka also looked towards the doorway.

At the entrance, a girl with a cane walked into the store, led by a medium-sized dog with a bell around its neck.

The middle-aged man chuckled, "Vivi-chan! You haven't come for two days! I was so worried about you."

Vivi, wearing sunglasses, stuck out her tongue and smiled, "Sometimes I want to try something different, you know."

The middle-aged man chuckled: "Is today the same as usual?"

"Um, no thanks, I won't have char siu today. I'll have a giant ramen instead!"

"Huh? Can you finish eating so much Vivi-chan?" the middle-aged man asked in surprise.

Vivi smiled, reached out and made a few grasping motions in the air before finally touching the head of the dog beneath her.

"If you can't finish it, give it to Ziwan~ It deserves a big meal too."

"Haha, great! Today, Vivi-chan, you'll definitely get the biggest portion!"

"Haha, boss, you can't be biased! We need to get a bigger portion too."

"Okay, okay~ I'll give you all extra today~"

Inuzuka stared blankly at the dog sitting obediently on the ground with its tongue lolling out, as if he understood something, and then he looked at Yua.

Yuya shrugged: "That's right. The Inuzuka clan has things that only the Inuzuka clan can do, so the Inuzuka clan is an indispensable part of Konoha."

Of course...

Yua smiled at Kiba Inuzuka and said, "Just like your clan leader who saved the Inuzuka clan from starvation..."

Why don't you give it a try?

"How about we raise the Inuzuka clan's fighting strength to the level of the Hyuga clan?"

Inuzuka Kiba was dumbfounded...
