Chapter 140 Ramen
Chapter 140 Ramen
Chapter 140 Ichiraku Ramen
In the blink of an eye, most of the day had passed quietly.
After learning the Shadow Clone Technique, Naruto mastered the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique with just a little practice.
The rest of the time, naturally, consisted of the same old routine: climbing trees and splashing in water.
Considering Naruto's age, Minato only allowed Naruto to create twenty shadow clones.
With twenty shadow clones working together, Naruto finished climbing the tree in less than half an hour.
Having mastered the skill of climbing trees, he soon learned to wade in water as well.
The rest, naturally, is to begin training in the Rasengan.
Unlike climbing trees and wading through water, this time, even with the help of shadow clones, there was no significant effect.
"ha"
Naruto held the water balloon and roared, but the water balloon only twitched weakly a few times.
"Phew—still no progress! Damn it!"
After training for a long time without making any progress, Naruto couldn't help but feel a little anxious.
Minato glanced at the sky: "It's getting late. Let's call it a day and go eat."
"Ah! Then let me treat you to Ichiraku Ramen?"
Upon hearing about food, Naruto's eyes lit up, eager to share his treasure trove of a small shop with Minato.
"Ichiraku Ramen, huh?!"
Minato rubbed his chin. In his world, Ichiraku Ramen hadn't opened yet.
I remember it was mentioned in one of the movies about the Loulan Dragon Vein that Ichiraku Ramen should have opened during the time of Minato's Jonin days in the original manga, but it's unclear whether the information from the movie is accurate.
"Let's go then."
Minato nodded happily; he was also very curious about what the legendary Ichiraku Ramen tasted like.
Soon, the two arrived at Ichiraku Ramen.
"Welcome?"
Upon seeing the person's face clearly, the noodle shop owner, Uncle Shouda, froze on the spot.
"Water—Watergate?"
"Uncle, you know Minato too?"
Naruto was somewhat surprised: "He's a good friend I just met today!"
"Oh, this—"
He glanced at Naruto, then at Minato.
friend?
Is that correct?
Minato chuckled and glanced at the menu on the wall: "Two deluxe seafood ramen dishes, please."
"Luxury Seafood —"
Naruto paused, took out his wallet, counted the money, and couldn't help feeling a little guilty.
"Don't worry, it's my treat."
Seeing Naruto's worried expression, Minato shook his head and chuckled.
"How can you do this? You already promised to teach me ninjutsu!"
Naruto gave a genuine smile: "Don't worry, I have enough money!"
"Yeah?"
Minato gave him a half-smile: "Alright then."
Soon, two bowls of deluxe seafood ramen were placed in front of the two of them.
"Deluxe seafood ramen, please!"
The boss, an older man, watched the two men with eager anticipation.
"Let's dig in!"
Naruto eagerly started eating, while Minato leisurely picked up his chopsticks.
He didn't wolf down his food; he ate slowly and leisurely, and in the blink of an eye, a large bowl of ramen was gone.
"Another bowl, please!"
"OK!"
"Slurp—another bowl, please!"
"OK!"
"—Another bowl, please!"
"————?"
Soon, bowl after bowl of ramen was gone, and the middle-aged man was sweating profusely, his face gradually showing an expression of existential doubt.
He had seen people who could eat a lot.
He had also met Minato Namikaze.
But this was the first time he had ever seen Minato Namikaze eat so much.
What's the relationship between this child and Minato? They even have the same name!
Could he be an illegitimate child?
That mother must be from the Akimichi clan, right?
While the thought process was divergent, Naruto was simply shocked.
When Minato finished his fifth bowl of ramen, he was already too full to eat anymore.
Naruto's eyes widened as he watched Minato eat dozens of bowls of ramen!
"Wow, I ate so much!"
Naruto looked at the stack of ramen bowls on the table, his heart aching so much he could hardly breathe!
If you had told me earlier that you could eat so much, I wouldn't have invited you!
They're all deluxe seafood ramen, the most expensive kind of ramen. Who can afford to eat like that?
"I already said I'd pay the bill."
Minato calmly took out the money and handed it to Tate, saying, "It tastes very good, I like it very much."
"Haha, I like it, I'll come again next time!"
With a hearty laugh, he felt that all his hard work was worth it after hearing Minato's words.
"Speaking of which, this money doesn't belong to this world; it might disappear later—"
Minato glanced at the money he handed to Naruto and reminded him, "Just in case, I'll make up the same amount later. If this money doesn't disappear, consider it as my money for Naruto's meals."
"What do you mean?"
Shou Da's face turned pale instantly, and his back was soaked with cold sweat.
A person who has been dead for who knows how many years suddenly appears in front of you as a child and tells you that the money he is carrying does not belong to this world.
The more he thought about it, the more terrified he became, and his face turned deathly pale.
Could this water gate in front of us be—
"My name is Minato Namikaze, and I come from a parallel universe."
Minato nodded politely: "Thank you for taking care of Naruto all these years."
Shouda stood frozen in place, stunned by the news. Changpu, who was helping out, also had a complicated expression, never expecting that there was such a connection.
Naruto had called Minato's name more than once, and although they were curious, they didn't ask any further questions.
Hearing Minato say this now, I was deeply moved.
"Parallelism—that's all as it should be!"
His eyes gradually welled up with tears. When he first saw Naruto, he had already guessed the other person's identity.
I never imagined that I would see the Fourth Hokage again in this way during my lifetime.
"Forget about the money, consider it my treat! As long as Minato is still alive, this place will be free for you every day!"
Teji gave Minato a thumbs-up, then gently wiped the tears from the corner of his eye with the back of his hand: "The only regret is that Kushina didn't come along. I really wanted to see you guys—oh well, it's nothing."
"Kushina————"
Upon hearing this unfamiliar name, Naruto's heart suddenly raced for a moment, for some reason.
He didn't quite understand what the older man meant: "Uncle, do you know Minato? You seem to know him quite well—"
Wait, was the meal free just now? Haha, it's a pity I'm too full, otherwise I really wanted another bowl.
The two got up and left. Along the way, Naruto patted his round belly and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Speaking of Minato, what is a parallel world?"
"Even if I told you now, you probably wouldn't understand."
"Who is that Kushina?"
Naruto asked, puzzled. He didn't know why he had been so concerned about this name.
"Kushina—Uzumaki Kushina."
Minato softly murmured the name: "In my world, she is currently the person I'm in a committed relationship with, but in this world, she is your mother."
"ha-?!"
Naruto was shocked. After realizing what had happened, he angrily pointed at Minato and shouted, "You actually dated my mom?!"
L
'
Minato sighed.
Maybe we should abort our first pregnancy with Kushina.
