Konoha The night is not deserted. Under the moonlight and starlight, it is a time for many people to gather together for a while.
At this time, Team 7 experienced a small reunion after a long separation, so naturally he wanted to come to Ichiraku Ramen to celebrate.
Naruto looked like he was familiar with the road. After sitting down, he shouted to Uncle Teuchi in the same old way, and then introduced to the beautiful woman sitting there, "Ming Older Sister, I recommend this Tonkotsu Chashu Ramen, it is absolutely delicious!"
"Really? Brother Naruto's recommendation is definitely not wrong, so give me one."
Mei Terumi responded to Naruto's recommendation with a smile.
"Well, the clear soup is also delicious, the tempura is also very good, and this..."
Mei Terumi listened to Naruto's introduction gently at first, thinking it was a child showing off how much he had eaten.
However, when she saw that the other party was introducing her and actually following the recipes next to her and starting to order for herself, she quickly stopped her.
"That's enough, that's enough. You don't need so much, just the tonkotsu from the beginning... just a bowl of that!"
"Really? Are you full? You're welcome, we come to Ichiraku Ramen as a treat from Kakashi-sensei!"
Hearing Mei Terumi shout to stop, Naruto was a little confused and asked quickly.
After confirming that Mei Terumi was not being falsely polite, Naruto glanced at Hinata curiously. "Hinata, did you tell me before that girls have a much bigger appetite than boys?"
"Ming Older Sister, please don't be polite to us. Come Konoha and we won't make you really hungry!"
Listening to Naruto mention the excuse he had made in a hurry, Hinata turned away with a guilty conscience.
Mei Terumi, who is beautiful and attentive, looked at the posture of the little girl Hinata, and then looked at Naruto's performance, and thought that she was almost right.
[It seems that this little girl ate too much before, so she found an excuse to make Naruto misunderstand...]
So, she thoughtfully explained for Hinata: "Naruto, little brother, girls develop earlier than boys, so they will naturally eat more at this age. This is correct."
"However, Older Sister I am already twenty-five years old and have already matured, so don't worry about me."
When she mentioned that she was well developed, she even showed her pride in a provocative way.
Little Naruto had never seen such a scene before. He blushed and hesitated to express his understanding.
[So Naruto-kun likes... like this?]
Hinata looked at Naruto's performance thoughtfully.
Sasuke also turned his face away at this time, so that no one noticed his expression, but the slight redness at the base of his ears obviously meant that he had noticed the scene just now.
However, when Mei Terumi looked at the person he wanted to care about most, he found that the other person was not looking at him at all, but was holding his wallet and muttering something.
[No, it's just a few bowls of noodles...]
However, after a while, Mei Terumi first took his share, and then watched the uncle at Ramen store continue to skillfully hand out bowl after bowl...
When Naruto had one bowl in front of her, Sasuke had one bowl in front of her, Kakashi had one bowl in front of her, and Hinata had five bowls in front of her, her eyes were full of shock.
Her beautiful green eyes looked back and forth, and she saw the accustomed expressions on everyone's faces.
And they naturally picked up the chopsticks and started eating. Hinata had already put the empty bowl aside.
There wasn't even any soup left.
Mei Terumi couldn't help but look down at Ramen in front of him.
The large portion of noodles floating in the broth in the bowl made her fall into a stage of doubting her life -
Is it true that Konoha's noodles are not enough?
Did you win Genjutsu?
"Let's eat, it's just the beginning."
At this time, Kakashi handed over a pair of chopsticks and a spoon. Looking at Mei Terumi's face full of question marks, he sighed softly.
"Thank you for your patronage!"
Uncle Teuchi gave a clear shout, and then he and his daughter Ayame enthusiastically waved goodbye to the 'distinguished guest' and her friends.
"Well, Shutan! How about Ming Older Sister? Konoha's Ichiraku Ramen is pretty good!"
Naruto touched his round belly, exhaled with satisfaction, and then did not forget to ask the guests for their opinions.
"(Looking at it all) I'm full, it's delicious. Thank you."
Mei Terumi nodded quickly, then glanced at the peaceful Hinata, glanced at Naruto's belly and then hers. He really couldn't hold back his curiosity. "She... isn't it? You... are always like this?"
"Yeah, otherwise why would we call it the same old thing!"
After receiving the answer, Mei Terumi couldn't help but look to his side with some sympathy.
Kakashi, who has been looking up at the sky since he just paid the money, unable to hide his sadness.
"Okay, let's disband today. I'll let you know when things are settled here. Oh, by the way, I'll sort out some information and give it to you."
After clearing up his sad mood, Kakashi said to Naruto and the others, and then looked at Mei Terumi: "And you, my suggestion is, please ask Ms. Mei Terumi to return directly to Inn. This will be good for everyone."
Mei Terumi, who originally wanted to mess with Kakashi, thought about the other party's shriveled wallet just now and lost his mind.
It's not that Kakashi restricts her personal freedom. If she wants to go shopping again, Kakashi can only accompany her.
"... Okay, I won't go shopping today."
As Kakashi and Mei Terumi said goodbye to everyone, Naruto and Sasuke also very sensible sent Hinata back to the Hyuga Clan first, and then they walked in the same direction.
And Hinata did not enter the house immediately, but stood at the door and quietly watched the two of them leave until they disappeared around the corner.
I don't know why, but every time I look at the backs of the two of them, Hinata always has an indescribable feeling in his heart. He always feels very harmonious, and he even feels a little bit envious in his heart.
After all, the two of them live next door.
Sasuke and Naruto were walking home like this. Although they didn't say anything, halfway along the way, I didn't know who was walking ahead a little faster.
The other person immediately and calmly overtook him, and was immediately overtaken by him again.
As they walked back and forth, they saw two figures moving at extremely fast speeds, as if they were walking in a race. Neither of them was convinced. In the process of chasing each other, they had already passed the house, but they still did not stop.
Then the two people walked faster and faster, regardless of whether it was the water or the roof in front of them, and they walked all the way... As a result, the two of them almost walked back and forth around the village.
"Hey, I still win after exercising after meals!"
When the two figures returned to the door again, Naruto took the lead, wiped his nose and smiled at Sasuke.
"... boring."
Sasuke turned directly and went upstairs, but compared with the disdain he showed in his mouth, he was silently recording in his heart at this time--
[0 wins, 198 losses...]
