In Konoha, you call this a ninja tool?

Tianyu's parents were always away on business, and the family was quite wealthy, so they never lacked food or clothing.

So he and his sister Tenten were regulars at Ichiraku Ramen.

After getting to know Matt Kay,

Teacher Kai always generously treated them to barbecue.

Tenyu hasn't been to Ichiraku Ramen for quite some time.

The ramen hasn't been served yet.

Tianyu sat to one side, looking around, bored.

Just then, he suddenly saw a boy in an orange tracksuit standing in front of a ramen shop, lingering but not coming in.

Hey, isn't that Naruto?

Upon seeing the beard on his face, Tianyu immediately recognized his identity.

"Why are you standing here without coming in?" Tianyu asked as he walked over.

Naruto was clearly taken aback that someone in the village would actually speak to him.

He then scratched his head somewhat awkwardly and shyly, and chuckled sheepishly, "Um... I originally wanted to come here to eat at Ichiraku Ramen, but my allowance that I had saved up for half a month suddenly disappeared. I remember I clearly had it in my pocket..."

Oh, it turns out the money was lost.

Tianyu waved to him and said, "If it's lost, it's lost. Come in and eat with me. This ramen is on me."

Chapter 28 Ichiraku Ramen

After making sure that there was no one else around,

Naruto Uzumaki looked at Tenyu with an incredulous expression.

Then, pointing to himself with his index finger, he asked uncertainly:

Are you talking about me?

Seeing Naruto's reaction, Tenyu couldn't help but sigh.

The son of the Fourth Hokage is being treated like this in the village? Konoha is really something else.

"Yes, it's you."

"Didn't you lose some money? I'm in a good mood today, so I'll treat you to ramen. Anyway, I'm quite wealthy."

Tianyu casually waved the bulging purse in his hand.

"!!!"

Naruto's eyes lit up immediately.

The look in her eyes as she looked at Tianyu was filled with deep emotion.

This was the first time anyone in the village had treated him to ramen, and the first time anyone had treated him so kindly.

Naruto, who was already facing starvation because he lost his money,

At that moment, I was so moved that I almost cried.

"What are you still hesitating for? Come and eat!" Tianyu urged.

"Here I am, here I am!" Naruto's face lit up with a bright smile as he walked over and sat down next to Tenyu, grinning broadly at him, "Hehe, then I won't be polite!"

Uncle Ichiraku quickly brought over two bowls of ramen.

Tenyu and Naruto simultaneously put down their chopsticks and said in unison:

"Then I won't be polite!"

Slurp slurp~~

The two of them gulped down the ramen noodles, making a crisp sound.

Having just finished his battle with Might Guy, Tenyu had almost exhausted his chakra. He was starving and wolfed down his ramen.

Naruto was clearly hungry too.

He can eat ramen just as fast as Tianyu.

Since he started physical training, Tianyu's appetite has also increased.

Although he is only seven years old, he already has an appetite that surpasses that of an adult.

After eating a bowl of ramen, Tianyu was only about three-tenths full, still quite a distance from being truly full.

He remembered that Naruto had a large appetite in the original work, and now he looked pitiful, drooling over Ichiraku Ramen in other people's bowls, clearly one bowl wasn't enough for him either.

"Uncle, two more bowls, please!"

Tenyu quickly finished a bowl, and seeing that Naruto next to him had also finished a bowl, he shouted loudly to Uncle Ichiraku.

Two bowls of ramen were served again soon.

"Eat up!" Tianyu pushed one of the bowls in front of Naruto.

Naruto paused for a moment, then asked blankly, "This one's for me?"

Tianyu said dismissively, "Of course! Since I said I'd treat you to ramen, you should definitely eat your fill. You should eat quickly, or the noodles won't taste good if they get soggy."

"Thank you, thank you!"

Naruto's cheeks were slightly flushed.

I felt incredibly happy and grateful for my good luck today, having met such a wonderful person!

He didn't show any disgust or aversion towards him like the others did.

And he even offered to treat me to ramen!

Waaaaah~~ He's such a kind person!

"Uncle, two more bowls, please!"

Ten minutes later, Tianyu shouted again.

And so, after Tenyu ate five bowls of ramen and Naruto ate three bowls of ramen, the two of them were finally full.

So satisfying~~

Ichiraku Ramen truly lives up to its reputation.

After eating his fill, Tianyu felt his body was full of energy again, and even the fatigue from the previous battle was greatly reduced.

This is the joy that food brings!

Naruto looked at Tenyu with eyes full of admiration.

"Wow, you have a huge appetite! You can eat five bowls of ramen in one go, that's amazing!"

"You're quite impressive too, being able to eat three bowls."

"Hehe, I don't have much money for living expenses, so I usually only eat one meal a day. I really owe you a lot today, otherwise I would have gone hungry until tomorrow." Naruto scratched his head, a shy smile on his face, and said, "By the way, my name is Uzumaki Naruto, a man who aspires to become Hokage! What's your name?"

Can you only eat one meal a day?

It's really hard to imagine what kind of life Naruto was living before...

What kind of heinous things has Hiruzen Sarutobi done all these years?!

Tenyu inwardly sighed at Naruto's misfortune.

There was also a hint of sympathy in their gazes towards him.

"My name is Tianyu."

"Um... Ten, Tenyu, can we be friends?" Naruto seemed a little nervous, a far cry from his previous carefree demeanor, and cautiously asked Tenyu.

Naruto felt very uneasy.

The villagers didn't want to be his friend.

He finally met someone who was willing to get close to him. Would this person also reject him because of some so-called "fox demon" rumor?

"Of course!" Tianyu smiled at him.

"But...aren't you afraid I'm a fox demon?" Naruto couldn't help but ask.

Naruto guessed in his heart,

Tianyu may not know this yet.

Everyone says he's a fox spirit.

But that's precisely why he wants to ask about it now.

He already considered Tianyu a friend and didn't want to hide this from him.

He was even more afraid that one day Tianyu would find out he was a fox demon and distance himself from him...

"Naruto, aren't you just a kid about my age right now?"

Tianyu said dismissively,

They didn't seem to take the so-called "fox demon" rumors seriously.

Naruto froze on the spot, then stood there sobbing uncontrollably.

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you crying!"

"Yes, I'm sorry, I was just too touched."

Naruto kept wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, sobbing incessantly.

"This is the first time someone has ever seen me as Naruto instead of a fox demon, and it's also the first time someone has been willing to be my friend, waaaaaah~~~"

"Alright, stop crying." Tianyu patted Naruto's shoulder and smiled. "I'll introduce you to my friends later, then you'll have lots of friends! They're all really nice people~"

"Really? Really?" Naruto's eyes widened in disbelief.

“Of course,” Tenyu said with a smile to Naruto Uzumaki.

At this moment, in Tianyu's mind,

Suddenly, three system voices rang out.
