Chapter 76 Naruto: And the crime of possessing a huge amount of unexplained wealth? Akamaru's horror: How could Master even eat this?
Thinking this to herself, Shizune happily slurped up her noodles.
Not long after, Lin Mo and Hinata entered Ichiraku Ramen and saw Tenten waving.
"Forehead."
When Lin Mo sat down, he saw that there was not only a bowl of Ichiraku Ramen on the table in front of him, but also a bowl of snail rice noodles.
"Tian Tian, do you really like eating this?"
Looking at the snail rice noodles in front of Tenten, Hinata hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Why are you having a bowl of ramen and a bowl of snail rice noodles? Does this even taste good?"
And to Hinata's surprise, he ate two bowls every day.
To be honest, I didn't eat lunch today.
Tian Tian shrugged and said, "I can definitely finish two bowls. I even want to have a third bowl. You have no idea how much physical exertion today's physical training took for me."
"Eat up, eat up! The ramen was cooked and served already, I'll eat first."
As she spoke, Tiantian quickly picked up her chopsticks and started eating snail rice noodles.
Seeing this, Hinata Hyuga also picked up a bowl of Ichiraku Ramen and started eating.
Before Lin Mo and Hinata had even finished their bowls of ramen, Tenten had already devoured a bowl of snail rice noodles.
Then he picked up the Ichiraku Ramen next to him and ate it in big bites.
They looked like they were really starving.
"No need to rush, Tian Tian."
Seeing how quickly Tenten was eating, Hinata quickly said, "Eating too fast is not good."
"It's okay, my physical condition can hold up. I just need to eat something."
While slurping his noodles, Tian Tian complained, "You might not believe it, but I even wanted to create a shadow clone, but unfortunately, it came along to eat with me."
Hinata Hyuga: "????"
Lin Mo: "."
Lin Mo's expression turned strange upon hearing Tian Tian's words.
Shadow clones eating?
It seems that no one has ever done this before.
Even Naruto's Multiple Shadow Clone Technique doesn't seem to have done anything like that.
However, he was surprised that Tenten had mastered the Shadow Clone Technique.
Because the clone technique mastered by students who graduate from ninja academies is merely a residual illusion created using chakra, and it does not possess any offensive power.
Above that is the Shadow Clone Technique.
As for Naruto's Multiple Shadow Clone Technique, it is a forbidden technique and is not practiced by ordinary ninjas.
As Lin Mo was thinking this.
the other side.
At the training camp of Team 7 in Konoha.
Kakashi looked at Naruto Uzumaki, Sasuke Uchiha, and Sakura Haruno, who were panting heavily, with satisfaction, and nodded, saying, "Not bad, your teamwork has become even more skillful today. You have lived up to my expectations."
Upon hearing this, Sakura Haruno and Sasuke immediately looked up.
Does this mean they don't have to go back to the ninja academy?
"Then can you lend me the money?"
Naruto rubbed his hands together excitedly and said, "I don't need much, one million will do."
Passing the test means I can borrow money from Kakashi.
Kakashi: "."
Sakura Haruno: "."
Uchiha Sasuke: "."
Kakashi, who was about to say something more, saw Naruto Uzumaki ruining the atmosphere, rubbed his temples with a headache, and said, "To be honest, your performance today exceeded my expectations. I didn't expect you to perform like this."
"So I didn't bring any money with me."
"Besides, I don't have that much money to lend you; I can only bring it to you when we meet tomorrow."
"But Naruto, can you tell me what you need so much money for?"
Kakashi was quite puzzled when he said this.
A child who had just graduated from the ninja academy not only had some money in his hand, but also borrowed some money from his teacher.
Now they actually need to borrow money from him, their mentor ninja.
Borrow another million?
He really wanted to know what Naruto Uzumaki was going to do with so much money.
Keep in mind that a B-level mission can only earn a maximum of 200,000 taels of silver.
It's usually between 50,000 and 150,000 taels.
One million taels of silver—that's practically an A-level mission.
Even for a Jonin like him, it would be somewhat difficult and time-consuming to execute.
If I were to lend Naruto another million ryo, that would be no small sum.
What does Naruto Uzumaki need so much money for?
Kakashi was confused.
Even if someone owes gambling debts, it couldn't be this exaggerated.
As Kakashi asked the question, Sakura Haruno and Sasuke Uchiha immediately turned to look at them.
They were also curious about what Naruto Uzumaki needed so much money for.
One million?!
"Of course, we'll open the can."
Naruto Uzumaki mentally scoffed at Kakashi's question.
It's because the shop owner sells the jars at such a high price.
He's short of money!
"Isn't it because my little Charmander has a big appetite?"
Naruto looked at the little dragon and sighed, "It eats so much! It ate all the milk and food in my refrigerator. I'm so poor."
Charmander: "????"
Upon hearing Naruto's words, Charmander looked up with a confused expression.
It eats too much?
I didn't eat anything!
Last night I drank milk and ate a bowl of instant noodles, and that was it.
Kakashi, Sasuke, and Sakura looked down at the little dragon after hearing Naruto's words, their expressions incredibly strange.
Is it really that exaggerated?
Even if this little thing can eat a lot, how much can it eat?
"Fine, if you don't want to talk about it, I won't force you."
Kakashi's gaze turned brooding as he said, "But Naruto, if you don't have a reasonable excuse in the future, you'll be targeted by the Anbu."
"What!?"
Upon hearing Kakashi's words, Naruto's expression changed drastically, his eyes widening: "Being targeted by the Anbu? Is that even possible?"
what the hell.
Even he knew the value of the Dark Division.
That's a secret organization comprised of elite ninjas.
It seems to only obey the Hokage's orders.
This was something he overheard some ninja families discussing at school; it seemed very mysterious and dangerous.
If I just make some money myself, I shouldn't attract the attention of the secret service.
Not only Naruto Uzumaki, but Sasuke Uchiha next to him also frowned.
As for Sakura Haruno, she looked bewildered.
What is the Dark Side?
"The crime of possessing a huge amount of property with unexplained sources."
Seeing Naruto's drastically changed expression, Kakashi said in a low voice, "Do you know how much one million ryo is? What does a kid who just graduated from the Ninja Academy need so much money for? After all, one million ryo can buy quite a few explosive tags."
Naruto Uzumaki: "."
Upon hearing this, Naruto Uzumaki's face turned green.
Is this even possible?
"If you have any reason for needing money, you can tell me. If you don't want to talk about it, then keep it to yourself, okay?"
"If you're short of money and want money, then don't go around telling everyone. Otherwise, if the village's ANBU ninjas find out, they'll definitely start watching you."
"It's fine if you lend me money, but what are you going to do with all that money?"
Kakashi paused for a moment, then said nothing more.
He immediately stood up and casually said, "Alright, that's enough for today. We'll meet here again tomorrow for the official mission. Don't be late. You've passed."
With that, Kakashi vanished from the spot in an instant.
"Seriously? Does Konoha even have such a crime?"
Watching Kakashi leave, Sakura Haruno looked at Naruto and Sasuke Uchiha with a bewildered expression: "I've never heard of you before, what about you?"
"I've never heard of this crime before."
Sasuke Uchiha calmly said, "But I know a little about the Anbu. It's an organization of elite ninjas, directly under the village's leaders, mainly responsible for carrying out highly classified and dangerous missions, including assassinations, espionage, counterintelligence operations, and protecting important figures in the village."
At this point, Uchiha's expression darkened.
It seems she was thinking of something unpleasant.
He then calmly said, "However, ordinary people don't need to know these things. Knowing too much is not a good thing."
As soon as he finished speaking, Uchiha Sasuke turned and left.
"Huh?"
Upon hearing these words, Sakura Haruno's eyes widened in surprise.
Are there any other like this?
This was the first time she had heard of it.
"Ugh."
Naruto, on the other hand, had a toothache.
If it attracts the attention of the secret service, then the jars on the shop owner's side will be exposed.
That won't do.
He hoped the jar shop would remain hidden until he had opened enough jars himself.
He was still thinking about opening the can to become stronger and meet his parents.
Thinking of this, Naruto Uzumaki stormed off in a huff.
When did Konoha Village start having the crime of possessing huge amounts of unexplained wealth?
Kakashi-sensei isn't lying to him, is he?
So next time I go to Lin Mo's shop to open a jar, won't I have to be even more discreet?
"Try to avoid running over there as much as possible."
Naruto Uzumaki muttered to himself, deciding that he would only go once to open the can, and not go at other times.
"But it does cost money."
The next second, Naruto Uzumaki looked at the little fire dragon in his arms and felt a headache coming on.
After all, this little dragon also needs to eat, and its appetite is even bigger than mine.
"Even if we contact those guys, it definitely won't work."
Naruto suddenly remembered that there were students from ninja clans in the school whose families specialized in training humans and animals.
One guy, in particular, had a small dog with him.
Unfortunately, I don't recognize it myself.
The little Charmander's growth is such a headache.
Thinking this, Naruto walked towards his home.
Tomorrow I'll get the money from Kakashi-sensei, see how much it is, deduct some for food expenses, and then go to Lin Mo's shop to open the jar.
That's what Naruto Uzumaki was thinking.
The Inuzuka clan.
At Ya's house.
Ya walked into the house with two bowls of snail rice noodles on her face full of excitement.
The sour, foul smell still lingered on the tip of his nose.
Although the taste was indeed a bit "special", Ya couldn't help but want to share it with his partner Akamaru when he thought about the delicious food he had just tasted at Ichiraku Ramen.
"Akamaru, come and try this!" Kiba called out enthusiastically, placing the snail rice noodles in front of Akamaru.
Akamaru has always been Kiba's partner and a powerful ally in battle.
It eats anything, especially things given to it by its teeth; Akamaru never refuses them.
However, this time, things took an unexpected turn.
As soon as Akamaru got close to the bowl of snail rice noodles, his nose twitched slightly, and he immediately smelled the strong, sour, and pungent odor.
The reaction was almost instantaneous; its ears perked up immediately, and its tail stiffened.
Instead of rushing forward excitedly as usual, it appeared very alert and uneasy.
"What's wrong, Akamaru? Don't you like it?" Kiba looked at Akamaru with some surprise, his tone full of doubt.
Akamaru shook his head and took a step back, clearly wary of the bowl of snail rice noodles in front of him.
Its nose kept sniffing, but each time it caught that smell, its eyes revealed a look of disgust and resistance.
"Waaah"
Akamaru even let out a low whimper, his steps backward quickening as if he wanted to get as far away from the bowl of snail rice noodles as possible.
Seeing Akamaru's reaction, Ya suddenly felt a headache coming on.
He knew that Akamaru's sense of smell was more sensitive than his own, but he didn't expect it to react so strongly to snail rice noodles, as if the bowl of noodles were something extremely terrifying.
"Akamaru, this is really delicious!"
Kiba, undeterred, tried again to push the bowl toward Akamaru: "You have to try it, otherwise it'll be such a waste!"
However, Akamaru clearly had no interest in Kiba's persuasion.
It glanced in alarm at the bowl of snail rice noodles that was getting closer and closer, then at Inuzuka Kiba, and decisively retreated.
"There's really no other way."
Kiba Inuzuka sighed helplessly.
Seeing that Akamaru absolutely refused to get close to the snail rice noodles, he had no choice but to decide to finish this delicious bowl of food himself.
He immediately prepared to feast on the food.
After all, this stuff is really delicious.
However, before he could even take a bite, he heard a rapid digging sound.
Ya suddenly looked up, and the scene before him stunned him instantly.
Akamaru was frantically digging at the ground with his claws, clearly intending to bury the bowl of snail noodles on the ground!
It dug with all its might, sending dirt flying, appearing urgent and earnest.
"Hey, Akamaru! What are you doing!" Kiba Inuzuka's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly put down his bowl and rushed over to stop Akamaru's "destructive" behavior.
He never expected that Akamaru would be so averse to snail rice noodles, actually wanting to bury them!
He taught Akamaru to bury his excrement on the spot after urinating or defecating.
However, Akamaru moved too quickly; it had already dug a small hole and very swiftly overturned the snail rice noodle bowl that Ya had placed aside.
The sour soup and vermicelli were spilled all over the ground, and Akamaru continued to dig, clearly trying to completely bury this "threat".
"Oh no! The snail rice noodles are wasted!" Kiba Inuzuka was extremely anxious and quickly reached out to salvage the bowl of snail rice noodles that had already been overturned.
When I received it, I found that there wasn't much soup left in the bowl.
The powder was also sprinkled on the soil, mixing with the dirt and debris, making it completely inedible.
Kiba Inuzuka was speechless.
Well, what a waste of a bowl of snail rice noodles!
"Akamaru, this was a delicious treat I specially brought back for you to try, and you've ruined it all!"
Kiba glared angrily at Akamaru: "Even if you're not going to eat it, don't ruin it!"
Akamaru tilted his head upon seeing Kiba's reaction, seemingly realizing what he had done.
But it clearly didn't think anything was wrong; instead, it gently wagged its tail, as if to say, "This thing is inedible; it's better to bury it."
Looking at the snail rice noodles that had already been buried in the ground, Kiba Inuzuka could only sigh helplessly.
He had originally planned to share this delicious food with Akamaru, but he ended up making a mess of it.
Now that the snail rice noodles have been buried, he can only accept this "tragic" reality.
"Seriously, I can't let you get close next time," Kiba Inuzuka muttered to himself helplessly.
I secretly decided that next time I would enjoy snail rice noodles by myself to avoid such an "accident" from happening again.
Akamaru was still wagging its tail, seemingly satisfied with its "achievements".
Then his gaze fell on the other bowl of snail rice noodles in Kiba Inuzuka's hand.
Kiba Inuzuka looked helplessly at the mound of dirt on the ground, then decisively picked up another bowl of snail rice noodles and ate it as he got up.
Akamaru: "!!!"
Seeing his master slurping up that sour, smelly stuff, Akamaru's eyes showed terror.
Why would the owner eat this too?
And they're enjoying their meal so much!
Kiba Inuzuka, oblivious to Akamaru's reaction, continued eating as he walked towards his room.
"It's delicious, I'll go eat it again tomorrow."
"Wait, how about we go to Ichiraku Ramen for a late-night snack?"
As Kiba Inuzuka ate, he thought to himself that.
Inside Ichiraku Ramen.
Lin Mo and Hinata looked at Tenten, who already had four empty bowls piled up in front of them, with strange expressions.
Tian Tian was really starving.
I actually finished three bowls of ramen and one bowl of snail rice noodles for dinner.
"Phew, I'm full!"
The next second, Tian Tian finished her fifth bowl of Ichiraku Ramen soup and put the bowl down with a satisfied look on her face.
It was so delicious!
However, seeing Lin Mo and Hinata looking at her, Tenten blushed and said, "What's so strange about that? I had a lot of training today, so I ate a bit more."
As she spoke, Tian Tian felt a little uneasy and glanced at Lin Mo.
Lin Mo probably doesn't think she eats too much.
"without."
Lin Mo chuckled: "It's delicious to eat, and physical training like this consumes a lot of energy, which is understandable."
Hearing this, Tian Tian immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
That's great, Lin Mo doesn't mind.
Immediately, the three of them got up and walked out of Ichiraku Ramen.
After strolling around for a while, they went their separate ways.
"At this rate, it will take at least a few geniuses to decipher and cultivate the second gate of the Eight Gates Formation."
Back at the jar shop, Lin Mo immediately took out the scroll containing the incomplete Eight Gates Formation and pondered while rubbing his chin.
If only someone could open the can and directly unleash the power of the Eight Gates.
You can master it instantly.
"In two more days, I can improve my strength again."
Thinking that Hinata and Hanabi will be able to open the can the day after tomorrow, and with Hiashi Hyuga joining the team, his strength will surely be able to improve once again.
With that in mind, Lin Mo decisively sat cross-legged and began to refine his chakra.
Even in a completely safe environment within the jar shop, he would not refrain from improving his strength.
Improving one's strength has only benefits and no drawbacks.
We can't keep relying on others to open the can.
With that thought in mind, Lin Mo immersed himself in cultivation.
Time slips away quietly.
It wasn't until late at night that Lin Mo finished his cultivation, closed the door, and went upstairs to sleep.
Silent all night.
the next day.
A kind, bright red sun, rough like broken brick fragments, illuminated Konoha Village.
Jingyin walked out of the hotel with a blissful expression, holding the pink piglet in her arms.
"I'll have another serving of snail rice noodles in the morning, then pack two more servings for lunch and dinner, and then follow the caravan back to Duan Ce Street."
"Perfect!"
"There's not much information left to gather in Konoha. We need to get back to Tsunade-sama as soon as possible."
"I wonder how Lady Tsunade is doing now, she should be alright."
As Shizune walked out of the hotel, she touched a scroll in her sleeve.
This scroll contains the information she has gathered since returning to Konoha Village these past few days.
