In Konoha: My canned food shop is very popular in the ninja world

Chapter 12 Uzumaki Naruto: Doesn’t he hate me?

"Ok?"

Hearing what Shouda said, Lin Mo looked at him with a little surprise; "Why do you say that?"

"From the way you are dressed and your spirited appearance, I can see that you don't look like someone from our Konoha Village."

Shouda laughed and said, "That's why I concluded that you are not from our Konoha Village. You must be from a wealthy family."

Lin Mo: “.”

"Then you really guessed wrong."

Lin Mo shook his head: "But I am not from Konoha Village. I am here to stay temporarily."

"But I'm curious, why do you say that it's the right time for me to come here?"

"Because it's the annual graduation season for the Ninja School."

The hand-beating uncle smiled and said, "After these children graduate from the ninja school, they will follow their teachers to carry out some tasks in the village. At this time, the price of issuing tasks will be lower than before."

“This time of year, there are a little more people.”

"I see."

Hearing the typed words, Lin Mo understood.

Graduated from Ninja School?
So, does that mean Hinata is about to graduate?
"Uncle, another bowl of ramen!"

Just then, a smaller voice sounded, causing Lin Mo to take a closer look.

But after looking over, Lin Mo found Uzumaki Naruto sitting in the corner, handing out a bowl of noodles.

"Forehead."

Seeing Uzumaki Naruto, Lin Mo looked surprised.

What a coincidence?

When I first came to Ichiraku Ramen, I didn’t notice this little guy.

As Lin Mo looked over, Uzumaki Naruto, who was handing out a bowl of ramen, felt someone was staring at him and his movements suddenly froze.

The feeling of being watched made him feel uncomfortable and nervous.

He subconsciously shrank his head, as if hoping to avoid that sight.

His hands were shaking slightly, and he seemed hesitant in handing the ramen bowl to Ichiraku.

However, when he realized that there was no malice in that gaze, Uzumaki Naruto secretly raised his eyelids and glanced at the person who was looking at him.

I found out that it was a strange young man.

However, when Naruto saw Lin Mo turning his head and looking at him with a look that contained no malice, he still felt a little inferior and uneasy.

He quickly lowered his head, his eyes fixed on the texture of the table, as if there were countless secrets hidden there that could make him forget his current situation.

"no offence."

"He doesn't hate me?"

Naruto lowered his head and sighed secretly in his heart. He knew that he was not welcome in the village.

From childhood to adulthood, the villagers have always looked at him with all kinds of complicated expressions, including disgust, fear, and sympathy, but not friendliness.

He had long been accustomed to such looks, but every time he was stared at, he would still feel a sense of sadness and helplessness.

He clutched the corner of his clothes tightly, and memories of the cold stares and rejection he had received flashed through his mind quickly.

Whenever this happened, he felt as if he had been abandoned by the whole world and was lonely with nowhere to escape.

Only in Ichiraku Ramen can he find a little warmth and comfort.

Uncle Ichiraku here always greets people with a smile and never has any prejudice against him because of him.

But today, there is one more young man.

The other person's eyes seemed to recognize him, but there was no disgust in them?
Is that friendly?
Although he only glanced at Lin Mo, Uzumaki Naruto was still very keenly aware that the other party did not have any disgust, which was completely different from the eyes of the villagers before.

"Ok."

At this time, Uncle Ichiraku spoke with a smile and brought him a new bowl of ramen.

The steaming ramen exuded an enticing aroma, which made Naruto feel a little better. He took a deep breath, picked up his chopsticks, and carefully began to eat the noodles.

While eating, he kept his head down, trying not to pay attention to the eyes around him.

For him, this bowl of ramen is not just food to fill his stomach, but also a kind of spiritual comfort.

"Naruto, eat more so that you can have a strong body." The uncle's voice was warm and kind, which warmed Naruto's heart.

He raised his head and forced a smile, "Thank you, uncle."

While speaking, Uzumaki Naruto turned his head and glanced at Lin Mo again.

Lin Mo was just looking away when he saw Uzumaki Naruto looking at him, and immediately smiled and nodded.

"He really doesn't hate me?!"

Seeing Lin Mo smiling at him, Uzumaki Naruto was suddenly surprised.

I definitely didn't see it wrong.

Twice, there was no dislike or disgust in the other person's eyes.

Not the bland look other strangers gave him.

Nor was it the disdainful looks from the villagers.

For a moment, Uzumaki Naruto really wanted to step forward and communicate.

However, looking at Lin Mo eating ramen again, Uzumaki Naruto was silent for a moment, then shrank back and lowered his head to eat ramen.

In this way, Uzumaki Naruto ate ramen while secretly looking at Lin Mo, sizing him up.

While Lin Mo was eating ramen, he chatted with Ichiraku: "Are there any entertainment facilities in Konoha Village?"

"Entertainment? Just playing cards."

Hearing Lin Mo's words, Yile raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "On normal days, we just soak in hot springs or watch small stage plays, but many plays are old now, and I don't know when the next new play will be."

At this point, Yile sighed: "Or, brother, you can go to the bookstore. The bookstore is also quite good. There are also rap performances. I don't usually play much. I am busy making ramen."

"If you really want to find entertainment, you can post a mission and let the ninjas of Konoha Village show you around."

"Ah."

Hearing Yile's words, Lin Mo nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Of all that Yile said, only the hot springs slightly attracted him.

Then, Lin Mo continued to make ramen and prepared to go back after eating.

If I'm lucky today, Hinata Hyuga will bring people to open the jars.

Lin Mo was thinking this while eating ramen.

the other side.

The entrance of the jar shop.

Hinata Hiashi arrived and looked at the closed shop door in front of him and frowned.

I'm here, why is the store closed?
Are you not ready to open?
still?

Hinata Hiashi stood in the shadowy corner of the room beside him, lost in thought.

As he rushed here, he was still wondering who this person was and why he was selling such a magical jar.

Sharingan and the like can be collected and sold, which is understandable to him.

But it is incomprehensible to open a store so blatantly.

Later on, even the so-called chakra attributes, which could fuse the Sharingan with just a touch, were something he really couldn't understand.

He came this time to visit this person.

Judging from Hinata and Hanabi's situation, this one seems to be doing charity.

"Wait a minute."

Thinking of Hanabi's Sharingan, Hinata Hiashi narrowed his eyes and stood in the corner waiting quietly.
