Ichiraku Ramen, Konoha's famous check-in spot. Well, actually, it was just a small eatery, about the size of a night-market stall, and far less impressive than a street food restaurant.
This was Yuhara's first time dining at this "famous attraction." He ordered the most ordinary bowl of ramen, then watched as "Otsutsuki" Ichiraku rolled out the dough, pulled the noodles, and dropped them into the pot.
When the bowl of ramen was set in front of Yuhara, he eagerly picked up his chopsticks and took a bite. The noodles tasted pretty good, with a hint of Lanzhou flavor.
He had only just started eating when Tenzo plopped down beside him. "Owner, one chashu ramen. Add three extra slices of chashu."

Yuhara thought, Look at you, acting all high and mighty. "Why don't you just order chashu without the noodles?"
"You're paying, anyway," Tenzo said as he handed Yuhara a book. "Here's what you wanted."
Yuhara set down his chopsticks. After taking the book, he flipped through it casually and found the contents rather interesting.
"Interesting. According to this book, the origins of many wild, large Chakra beasts are mostly connected to the activities of the tailed beasts... It actually makes sense."
The Chakra beasts Yuhara was referring to were creatures capable of using Chakra in battle and serving as Summoning Beasts. According to the theory in the book he held, the birth of such creatures involved a certain degree of chance and was related to the activities of the tailed beasts. There did not seem to be anything wrong with that theory... The source of all power in this world could ultimately be traced back to the "ancestor of Chakra" or the "Divine Tree," while the tailed beasts were beings incredibly close to the "Divine Tree."
