Sky Curtain: Short Video Commentary on Konoha Villagers

The text on the screen began to scroll.

Let me tell you another small thing.

Just as the Fourth Shinobi World War was about to begin, Uncle Ichiraku once again prepared a bowl of special ramen for Naruto.

[And it was this bowl of ramen that kept Naruto going until the end of the war.]

Hidden Cloud Village.

Ai had lost count of how many times she had stood up from her chair.

"A whole war was won with a bowl of ramen?!"

"Are you kidding me!"

"The Fourth Shinobi World War will probably last at least two or three years, right?!"

"How long can a bowl of ramen last?!"

Konoha Village.

The villagers on the street were completely dumbfounded.

"I...I've been eating Ichiraku Ramen for twenty years, and I've never found anything special about it?"

"Is it possible... that Uncle Ichiraku only makes special ramen for specific people?"

"Like Naruto?"

The person next to him changed his expression drastically.

"You mean... Ichiraku has been secretly training that fox spirit all along?"

At the entrance of Ichiraku Ramen.

At that moment, Uncle Ichiraku was standing behind the counter, wearing a white apron, holding a rolling pin, and kneading dough with a smile.

He looked at the sky, then at the rolling pin in his hand.

"I'm just a ramen vendor..."

The text on the sky changed again.

[Further details also demonstrate that Uncle Ichiraku is definitely not a simple person.]

For example, there was a time when Naruto and Choji were spying on Ichiraku Ramen vendor making ramen.

The celestial display lights up.

night.

On the roof of Ichiraku Ramen.

Naruto and Choji lay behind the tiles, peeking out half their heads to peek down.

"Naruto, do you think Ichiraku-san is making a new ramen shop?"

Choji spoke softly, his mouth watering as he smelled the fresh broth, and asked Naruto beside him.

Naruto didn't respond; instead, he stared intently at the ramen below.

The two believed they had hidden it well.

After all, Naruto had already passed the Chunin Exams, and Choji was also a proper Chunin.

How could an ordinary civilian possibly detect the stealth techniques of two Chunin?

However, just when Naruto and Choji thought everything was safe.

Uncle Ichiraku's hand suddenly stopped.

He didn't turn around.

His body made no unnecessary movements.

He simply gripped the rolling pin on the table with his right hand as naturally as possible.

next second.

Whoosh!

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

Two muffled thuds.

Before Naruto and Choji could even react, they were so frightened by the rolling pin that they rolled off the roof.

The image freezes.

The entire ninja world fell silent once again.

[Kakashi Hatake: Naruto and Choji are ninjas after all... Even if they were careless, they shouldn't have done this.]

[Nara Shikamaru: An ordinary person possessing sensory abilities surpassing those of a Chunin... This is just too illogical.]

Hidden Rock Village.

Onoki stroked his chin, deep in thought.

"No, something is definitely fishy about this."

"But we can't rule out another possibility—what if those two actually made a sound?"

"After all, with that chubby kid's size, it's no wonder the roof tiles rattle when he's lying on the roof."

The black soil and yellow soil nearby echoed his sentiments, also finding it somewhat unreasonable.

"This is really a bit far-fetched..."

"What if that older man only heard the sounds they were making?"

"Exactly, even an ordinary person can hear the roof tiles rattling."

The text on the celestial screen flickered, and new text appeared.

[Following this, other major events also followed suit.]

Uncle Ichiraku always manages to easily avoid all sorts of disasters.

The celestial display lights up.

Konoha Village, night.

The sky was dyed blood red.

Ninjas and residents screamed and fled through the ruins.

The ANBU ninja fought desperately, but were swept away by the Nine-Tails' tail.

Throughout Konoha Village, countless people were killed or injured, and most of the houses and buildings were destroyed.

The scene moves slowly, passing through devastated streets, collapsed buildings, and burning flames.

Finally, the camera stopped in front of a well-preserved building.

Ichiraku Ramen.

The small ramen shop stands intact amidst the surrounding ruins.

Not a single crack, not a single tile fell off.

Even the noren (heated curtain) at the door was hung neatly, not disturbed in the slightest by the strong wind.

The entire ninja world: ...

[Konoha villagers: The entire village is mostly destroyed, but his ramen shop is okay?!]

The text on the screen continued to scroll.

That's not all.

[Following this, Pain invaded Konoha and unleashed Shinra Tensei.]

At this point, Konoha had become a deep crater, and all the buildings had been completely destroyed.

[And without anyone's help, Uncle Ichiraku was the first person to rebuild his house from the ruins.]

on the screen.

The ruins of Konoha Village.

All the ninjas and civilians were busy cleaning up the wreckage, their faces showing exhaustion from surviving the ordeal.

Meanwhile, Uncle Ichiraku's ramen shop has reopened.

Therefore, it is reasonable to suspect that Ichiraku Ramen was not actually destroyed by Pain.

[It was Ichiraku who used illusion magic to make everyone believe that the ramen shop had been destroyed, and then "rebuilt".]

Upon seeing this, the people under the canopy instantly perked up.

Konoha Village.

The villagers on the street looked at the sky and were completely thrown into chaos.

"Ichiraku is actually a hidden master?!"

"No, no, no, I think Uncle Ichiraku is just an ordinary ramen vendor. Tianmu is over-interpreting things!"

"Then explain why he was completely unharmed during the Nine-Tails' rampage and Shinra Tensei?"

"this……"

Hidden Rock Village.

Onoki floated in mid-air, completely frozen in place.

"A genjutsu... a genjutsu that covers the entire Hidden Leaf Village?"

"Someone who can do something like this..."

Onoki's voice trembled slightly.

"Could it be the divine magic that Tianmu mentioned before?!"

"If he really does possess illusion magic of this level..."

"Then what was his purpose in running a ramen shop in Konoha for decades?"
