"Naruto, you can go back by yourself later."
After the three of them left, Hyuga Sho paid the bill and stood up.
"B-big bro~!"
With ramen still in his mouth, Naruto Uzumaki looked confused.
"You ate too much. You won't be able to sleep tonight, and you'll have indigestion. Walking back will help you exercise."
That was what Hyuga Sho said.

"That's just tragic..."
The three of them had once been Minato Namikaze's subordinates.
They had received no small amount of kindness from Minato Namikaze.
Of course.
Minato Namikaze's warmth toward his three subordinates

Not helping Naruto Uzumaki was simply their
