Konoha: Make the Uchiha Great Again

Chapter 24: Smart Girl

"I didn't expect to meet you here, Kotonoha."

Yuhara couldn't help but laugh at the person in front of him, then he glanced at the sign of Ichiraku Ramen, thought for a while, and simply walked in.

Ichiraku Ramen is a ramen restaurant with a very long history in Konoha. Yuhara often came here when he was a child. After all, this is a "famous check-in spot" in Konoha.

Naruto, Iruka, Kakashi and other characters in the original work have all eaten here. Naturally, Yuhara would not miss this place after traveling to this world.

It was only later, when he had more tasks, that he came less often.

As for Nara Kotonoha, this girl was Yuhara's classmate in the Ninja School.

Although both Hanehara and Shisui graduated early, she remained teammates with Hanehara for a while after graduation.

Yuhara had a deep impression of Nara Kotonoha. After all, the name Kotonoha was indeed hard for Yuhara to forget after watching a certain anime.

In addition, this girl is also very beautiful. Her hair can be tied up into a big ponytail, and it can be let down into long straight black hair. She can also be said to be dancing wildly on Yuhara XP.

And she seems to be the cousin of Nara Shikamaru, and she has inherited the unique intelligence of the Nara clan.

When they were on a mission together, she gave a lot of advice that even the team leader was willing to follow.

But later on their ninja levels were raised, and each of them had new positions and tasks, so their teams were naturally disbanded.

Yuhara has been doing missions alone over the years. Although there are team gatherings, he rarely participates.

It's not that he didn't want to go, but unfortunately, he was not in Konoha for many gatherings, so naturally he couldn't go.

"Yeah, I thought I was seeing things." Nara Kotonoha tilted her head and smiled, "You're a very busy man. I can't even remember when was the last time I saw you."

"About a year ago or two years ago?" Yuhara himself was a little unsure, but he shook his head indifferently: "You know, I am a mission ninja now, so naturally I have a lot of things to do."

Being with his old teammates, Yuhara still feels more relaxed.

There have never been any major conflicts within their team, and Yuhara himself does not have the bad habits of the Uchiha clan.

In addition to Nara Kotonoha, there is another teammate who is a civilian ninja. Overall, they get along well with each other.

"Boss, give him a big bowl of pork-flavored barbecued pork ramen. Remember to add more chili."

When Nara Kotonoha heard what Yuhara said, she did not answer immediately. Instead, she turned to Ichiraku and asked for a bowl of noodles. Then she lowered her head and spoke while eating the noodles.

"I know, but you did make the right choice by not being stupid enough to go and work for the Security Department.

Also, meeting you today is a happy thing, so I will treat you, please enjoy your meal."

"That's really rare. You actually treat us?"

Yuhara couldn't help but laugh even more happily when he heard this. Nara Kotonoha rarely chooses to treat guests. This woman's family is obviously not poor, but she seems very stingy.

As for her position in the Security Department, she had actually mentioned it to Yuhara very vaguely a few years ago.

The Nine-Tails Incident hadn't happened yet at that time, but she had reminded Yuhara on the day the team was disbanded that the Guard Division was definitely not a good way out.

This surprised Yuhara greatly. As a time traveler, he naturally knew that the Guard Department was a big trap, but Nara Kotonoha was not a time traveler, nor was she a member of the Uchiha clan.

"You are finding all kinds of ways to insult me, saying that I'm stingy?" Nara Kotonoha couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard what Yuhara said, but she didn't care about such things at the moment and continued to eat slowly with her head down.

"No, you can trust me, but what kind of job are you doing now?"

Yuhara naturally would not admit his true thoughts, but he was unwilling to dwell on this topic, so he quickly changed the subject and asked.

"It's strange that I believe you. And the way you change the subject is still so stiff. But it doesn't matter."

Nara Kotonoha raised her head and glanced at Yuhara, then spoke slowly.

“After the team was disbanded, I followed my father to learn how to handle family affairs. Later, my cousin asked me to go to the Ministry of Government Affairs with him. He said it would be a pity if I didn’t go there.

But I told him that I was still young and didn't have so many ideas for the time being. In fact, I didn't want to go to the Government Affairs Department at all. It was too boring and troublesome.

I would rather go to school and find a job, which is easy and less troublesome.”

Nara Kotonoha's cousin is naturally this guy Nara Shikaku, and Yuhara was not surprised that Nara Kotonoha could work in the Government Affairs Department.

After all, Kotonoha is so smart, and according to the tradition of the Nara clan, in the future they will either sell medicine or work in the government department. This is also a major tradition of their family.

However, the girl Nara Kotonoha seemed to have inherited the lazy style of the Nara clan, and it was obvious that she did not seem to be very eager to work in the Government Affairs Department.

While the two of them were chatting, Ichiraku prepared the ramen and brought it up. It must be said that Ichiraku ramen was the most substantial thing Yuhara had eaten in all these years.

Whether it is the portion or the ingredients, you can see how serious Ichiraku is about ramen. This is making ramen with heart.

People who make ramen with such care will always come back to Hanehara no matter how many times they eat there.

Just when Yuhara was about to eat the noodles, a little guy with yellow hair who looked short and thin suddenly ran in.

When the little guy came in, Yuhara found that Ichiraku had a smile on his face. His smile was very warm, but the other ninjas who were eating noodles here frowned.

"Hey? It's this little guy." Nara Kotonoha naturally noticed this scene, but she lost interest after taking a look: "I didn't expect to meet this little guy again."

"It seems that you don't dislike him." Yuhara looked at Nara Kotonoha with amusement: "This kid's name seems to be Naruto, right?"

That’s right, the little guy who ran in this time was Naruto!

In fact, Yuhara naturally knew Naruto, although for various reasons he had seen Naruto very rarely.

But as the protagonist of the original story, how could Yuhara forget? However, there is still a need for him to pretend a little, after all, he is not familiar with Naruto in reality.

"Oh, that's rare." Nara Kotonoha looked at Yuhara in surprise: "You actually called him by his name, and you don't even hate him."

"Come on, I'm not an idiot, okay?" Yuhara shook his head, then sighed: "I've heard about him, this guy is quite pitiful."

"Yeah, this kid is really pitiful." Nara Kotonoha also sighed slightly: "My brother and he are classmates, and I am not unfamiliar with this kid, but..."

Having said that, Nara Kotonoha suddenly looked at Yuhara seriously, then lowered his voice and spoke seriously.

"You'd better not act like you sympathize with him. His identity is too special. You should not have forgotten what happened back then, right?"
