The crowd arrived at Ichiraku Ramen and immediately packed the shop to the brim.
They ate and chatted, and as long as Naruto Uzumaki was not brought up, the atmosphere remained relaxed and pleasant.
"Kakashi-sensei, what do you think of Ayame?"
While eating his noodles, Naruto suddenly asked.
Kakashi looked up, puzzled. "Why are you asking that?"
