Naruto, aspiring to become a well-known figure in the ninja world

"Isn't it time for the Sand Village to atone for the crimes it once committed against Konoha?"

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Wu Tiao Jieyue quietly pulled the chain on the collar to remind Ye Cang.

This kind of thing is a bit too much to ask.

After all, for the sake of the Sand Village, Ye Cang had voluntarily chosen to wear such a humiliating collar.

But Ye Cang's expression did not change, and even the shame and anger he felt when he was humiliated earlier had disappeared.

He just raised his head and looked at Gojo Jieyue calmly: "I want to go to Ichiraku Ramen to have a bowl of noodles."

"After that, I'll give you what you want."

"Oh, I want a lot." Gojo Jieyue raised an eyebrow and felt the determination in Ye Cang's eyes: "Okay, then I'll fulfill your wish~"

……

Ichiraku Ramen Shop.

Kobori wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand and felt a little scared when he saw the store crowded with Konoha natives and foreign travelers.

He pulled his daughter's sleeve and took her aside and asked softly, "Daughter, what's going on lately?"

"Why do we have so many more guests? This is... too much."

Ichiraku Ramen has always had good business, but it is mostly based on word-of-mouth among the old Konoha residents. Nowadays, young people are all going to the Internet-famous stores on the new commercial street to check in.

But since a few days ago, the number of customers at Ichiraku Ramen has increased several times.

There has never been a booming business.

For several days, Kobori's hand-made machine was like a perpetual motion top, running 24 hours a day. Even late at night, customers kept coming.

There was also a ninja who looked like he had spent all his money on ninja tools and was bankrupt because of a failed mission. He looked like he couldn't even afford to eat. He ran over to him with a red face and said:

"Boss, can you give me a bowl of clear soup noodles?"

How much is a bowl of clear soup noodles worth?

Under normal circumstances, Kobori might hesitate before serving a bowl of hot noodles to such a customer.

But now that business was so booming, he didn't even think twice about the pure cost of ingredients and directly served two bowls of clear soup noodles to the Genin for free.

Who knew... business would explode!

They, the Genin, probably have their own small circle of communication.

Many Genin who came out of the Ichiraku Ninja Tool Shop owned by his cousin walked straight into the shop, shouting something like, "I can't afford the ninja tools to be used, but can't I afford the ramen to be eaten?"

"Boss, bring me ten bowls of pork bone ramen with extra ingredients and place them on the wall... Oh, there seems to be no place to put them on the wall, so put them on the table!"

“Give it to the elderly and children first.”

"what?"

Whenever faced with such a situation, Kobori Teda could only be full of question marks, believing that it was caused by the rapid development of the ninja world. The villagers' ideas and concepts were changing with each passing day, and before a middle-aged man like him could react, the rhythm had completely changed.

Because there were too many unused ramen noodles, the boss posted a commission for the first time at Bos Direct Recruitment in the Hokage Building, entrusting the Genin to deliver the unused ramen noodles within the Konoha Village.

It's really too magical.

Fortunately, the boss's daughter, Kohori Ayame, is a fashion-savvy person. She told her father:

"It's the newly published "Three Years at Ninja School". Someone wrote a story about our Ichiraku Ramen Shop and sent it to the publisher, and the story was published in it."

"These guests probably came here for this."

Ayame simply repeated the story to her father, put her index finger on the tip of her round chin, and said doubtfully: "But... I don't remember a mother and her two children coming to our store to eat ramen ten years ago? There haven't been any recently."

"Dad, do you have any impression?"

Typed: "Ah, so I'm the one making ramen?"

"When did the five consultants get a reward of 200,000 taels? I was the one who treated the consultant to a 20-tael bottle of soda that day."

Kohori was confused and asked subconsciously, "Then...what about the ramen on standby?"

"It's my second uncle's ninja tool shop. It has a 'Ninja Tool Shop for Use' model. At first, my second uncle put the free ninja tools on the wall and let the ninjas in need take them."

"Later, ninjas would often buy two ninja tools, one for themselves and one to give to strangers."

Ayame said with admiration: "Second Uncle is really awesome. Every day I hear people praising him. The other day when I passed by Second Uncle's shop, I heard a ninja crying and thanking him."

"Ah... is there such a thing? The guy who brought the people has really changed."

I didn't even have a moment to think about the strange cause and effect. The next thing that broke into my mind was the consultant's shout from the store entrance:

"Boss, give me a bowl of clear soup ramen!"

Volume 94: Pravda

"Clear soup ramen is here~"

Kobori Ayame placed a bowl of steaming clear soup ramen on the table, and only then did she have time to look up at the person who was approaching.

One is the Gojo advisor... the other is a weirdo wearing a black cloak, which of course makes sense for a ninja.

Ayame didn't think much about it. She took out her newly bought copy of "Three Years at Ninja School", asked Gojo Kegetsu for an autograph, and left contentedly.

"Hey, here's the clear soup ramen you ordered." Gojo Jieyue pursed his lips.

Ye Cang clasped his hands together and prayed, then took out a pair of chopsticks, picked up the chewy noodles, looked at the swaying white smoke, and his thoughts seemed to drift far away.

After a long time, she slightly lifted the mask with her other hand, revealing her pink little mouth and slowly put the noodles into her mouth.

The next second, tears were streaming down my face.

This noodle is as bitter as a song.

"It's really that serious. Drinking noodle soup is like drinking Meng Po soup."

Gojo Jieyue was speechless as he watched from the side. Ye Cang's reaction made him seem like a really evil devil.

The bonds and affectations between people in the ninja world are something that Gojo Kegetsu will probably never be able to learn in his lifetime.

If the identities were reversed and a powerful female ninja wanted to put a leash on him, Gojo Jieyue would probably explode on the spot. The bond of the village, the bond of the disciple, were not as important as the face of Gojo-sama.

Therefore, people will never be able to empathize with others.

Bliss, blip~

Ye Cang put the chewy noodles into his mouth and swallowed them mouthful by mouthful.

There is obviously no seasoning, but... coupled with the mentality of atonement, this bowl of clear soup noodles seems extremely delicious.

Yes, Yekura is atonement for his village and apology to the mother and her two children who lost their family members in "Ichiraku Ramen".

The emotions of the people in the ninja world are so abundant.

Ye Cang sipped the last mouthful of noodle soup, put the bowl down, and said calmly, "I'm done."

"After eating, isn't it time to do something adults like to do?"

"…It's all up to you."

[————Communication is confidential————]

【————Unsealing warning————】

[Yunyin Year 51, Recipient: Samui]

[Mabui: Samui, regarding the intelligence you published a few days ago, the elders of Kumogakure have discussed and decided to create our own Kumogakure newspaper, Truth. They also highly praised your intelligence work at the Kumogakure meeting.]

[In addition, the elders hope that you will continue to work hard to destroy the alliance between Konoha and Kirigakure as soon as possible.]

The main residence of the Gojo family.

Samui sat alone on the bed, carefully receiving the reply from Mabuyi.

She had already sent the information back a few nights ago.

All along, the Council of Elders had been urging the Raikage to order the establishment of the "Great Kumogakure Co-Prosperity Sphere". Although the Raikage himself was more keen on enhancing the village's military strength, he could not resist the surprisingly unanimous will of the Council of Elders and reluctantly followed their advice.

The Great Cloud Village Co-Prosperity Sphere plan is being promoted in an orderly manner.

In just one month, the aid provided to the surrounding small villages reached 10 billion taels of cash.

This is still the most direct cash support, and there are also some difficult to count ninja tool support, ninjutsu wholesale, ninja poverty alleviation...

Seeing the village's account funds gradually decreasing, Ai felt heartbroken.

His money, all his money!

But material assistance alone is not enough. The Yunyin Elders have been thinking about what else they have not considered. This time there is no simple formula for them to apply.

There are no relevant cases in the Thirty-Five Strategies.

Samui's information solved the confusion in their hearts.

Clear the clouds and see the blue sky, let the elders know what they have been ignoring, that which is the opposite of matter——

spirit!

Spirit is culture or thought.

It is not okay to just give and let the members of the Great Cloud Village Co-Prosperity Circle suck the blood of Cloud Village. What if in the end they feed a group of ungrateful wolves?

It is necessary to let the members of the circle know who they should be grateful to and who they should praise! Although the greatness of Yunyin needs no further explanation, it can be kept silent, but it cannot be forgotten.

Elder Yafu, the representative of the Elders Council, slapped his thigh and decided that the newspaper founded by Kumogakure to form a unified ideological front should have a more resounding name, referring to the model of Konoha's "Konoha News".

Thus, Yunyin Pravda was born.

The content must be mainly about praising the greatness and achievements of Kumogakure. To be more specific, it must emphasize the leapfrog development of the villages under the Kumogakure Co-Prosperity Sphere, the various auspicious events that have occurred under its rule, and fiercely criticize the ugliness and backwardness of Konoha.

Kumogakure is the rising star of the ninja world! Joining the Kumogakure Co-Prosperity Sphere is equivalent to embracing the new era of the ninja world!

And in order to unify the ideological front of the Kumogakure Co-Prosperity Sphere, the elder Yafu waved his hand and announced a decree, regardless of the literacy rate of his village, that all administrative departments of Kumogakure would be forced to subscribe, conveying the absolute and heavy authority of the Raikage Building.

Each community and street in Kumogakure was also required to share the purchase of Pravda. Regardless of whether they read it or not, the number of copies must be guaranteed to ensure that the will of the village spreads to every corner.

All registered ninjas in Kumogakure will automatically have a portion of the mission commission money deducted after completing the mission in exchange for a copy of the current issue of "Pravda", and the remaining money will be used to cover the distribution cost of "Pravda".

In the Kumogakure Co-Prosperity Sphere, administrative personnel of member villages other than Kumogakure Village are also required to have a copy of the Pravda newspaper. Of course, the money for buying the newspaper is paid by the Kumogakure ninja's mission commission.

If you really want to collect a copy of Pravda, you can also buy it in major bookstores. However, if you want to buy a copy of Pravda in a bookstore, you have to look for it carefully in the corners, because the location is not as eye-catching as "Yimu".

After all these operations, the circulation of Pravda reached a rather terrifying number.

Such numbers are far from comparable even to the "Yi Mu" circulated in the four major countries.

On the day when the circulation statistics were released, the elders of Kumogakure raised their glasses and drank muscle tonic together in the Raikage Building to celebrate Kumogakure's great victory in unified decision-making on the ideological front!

Now, the Hidden Cloud Village and the Greater Hidden Cloud Co-Prosperity Sphere have completely reached a consensus on the issue of ideology... I guess.

Samui naturally had no idea about the implementation of these specific policies.

But when she saw that the Cloud Village Elders adopted her opinion, she felt that Nako was warm and thoughtful.

He stayed alone in Konoha, learning Konoha's advanced and desirable systems, and continuously passing them back to his own village.

Judging from the efficiency of creating newspapers, the village elders are not stubborn old fogies, and can face the advancement of Konoha objectively.

That's enough!

In the long run, Yunyin will become great again!

"call……"

Samui let out a long sigh, feeling his mind was clear and the depression caused by being abused by Gojo Jieyue dissipated a lot.

Click——

The sound of the door lock turning came from the entrance. Sam was like a tamed dog. The moment he heard his owner ringing the bell, a gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Welcome home, Jie..."

But before she could finish her words, Samui's smile froze on her face.
