Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 129 Yi Le

I didn't expect that.

He simply had the thought in his mind and informed his family of this discovery.

There will be such great benefits!

Should I choose a Fire Release scroll or a Genjutsu scroll tomorrow? Or maybe I should choose some materials on sealing techniques, runes, or curse seals!

Soaking his entire body in the hot spring, Toshiro's mind was filled with fantasies.

After bidding farewell to Fugaku Uchiha, Toshiro headed straight for the hot spring town. He was quite exhausted after a month of tossing and turning at sea.

After finishing my business, I'll relax in a hot spring and treat myself to a good soak, letting off some steam after being tense for the past few days.

I picked up a cold drink from the floating tray beside me, downed it in one gulp, and felt the icy coolness that shot straight to my head, along with the temperature of the hot spring.

This is what life is all about...

He had already decided that he would continue to cling to his family's coattails; the Will of Fire and such had absolutely nothing to do with him.

The family side is more reliable; just think about the treasure in that secret room~

He'd been eyeing it for far too long...

The next morning, Toshiro got up early, finished his homework, and went to the streets of Konoha.

I'm preparing to purchase some supplies that I might need in the future.

Looking around at the streets, which were much more desolate than before the war, Toshiro couldn't help but think that no matter what world it was, war would harm people in every way.

At this time, the prices of some daily necessities, such as food and meat, had nearly doubled compared to before the war.

This has forced housewives responsible for purchasing to start being more frugal, making it increasingly difficult for businesses to operate.

As he walked, Toshiro suddenly saw a scene that looked somewhat familiar.

Outside a ramen shop, a long line was waiting. The shop's signboard prominently displayed the four characters "Ichiraku Ramen".

Unexpectedly, the famous "Ichiraku" has settled in Konoha Village at this time.

Seeing the words "New store opening, half price" written next to him, Toshiro, who hadn't had breakfast yet, decided to give it a try and see if the reputation was well-deserved.

"Hey! Isn't that Kai, Shizune, and Asuma? How's the food at this new shop?"

I greeted a few other little ones who were also in line, just like me.

"Toshiro-senpai!"

Upon seeing him, the kids quickly greeted Toshiro and addressed him as "senpai" (senior).

Ever since the battle in the "grove" years ago, Toshiro's name has spread among these kids, gaining him quite a few fans.

"The food at this shop is really good! Definitely worth trying!"

"Yeah! Yeah! Not only does it taste good, but it's also very affordable~ Especially their beef ramen~ Just thinking about it makes my mouth water..."

"Nonsense! Their best dish is clearly the seafood ramen..."

Upon seeing that one of their companions had expressed a different opinion, the kids immediately started arguing, enthusiastically praising their favorite flavors...

These kids, who are almost eight years old, don't have much time left to argue so carefree.

If he remembered correctly, within the next year or two, all of them would graduate early, and most of them would become casualties in this war...

Of course, this definitely doesn't include Asuma.

"It's just regular ramen, you guys are exaggerating too much~"

An untimely voice interrupted the children's argument.

Everyone turned around and saw Kakashi emerge from the crowd, offering his opinion.

This kid is much more normal now than he was a few years ago when 'White Fang' had just passed away.

Back then, Kakashi was practically unapproachable, but with the passage of time, he's now capable of cracking some lighthearted jokes.

Ignoring her former classmates, she nodded to Toshiro, ready to try this newly opened ramen shop and see how it tasted...

[Well, although I've become more cheerful... I'm still... aloof...]

Ever since the Chunin Exams, Kakashi has been occasionally challenging Toshiro to swordplay sparring, and over time, the two have become acquainted.

"Hmm! You've come at the right time. Don't you keep some summoned beasts? I happen to have some questions about that that I need your help with..."

Upon seeing the other person, Toshiro's eyes lit up. He was having a headache, not knowing how to take care of his big bird!

This is where the real talent comes in!

Everything else about his summoned beast was easy to handle, but getting it to speak and communicate with him was a real challenge.

A summoning beast that can't communicate and has little intelligence can only be of limited use. I can't possibly cast an illusion on it every time it appears.

While this allows you to control the other person, if something unexpected happens at a crucial moment, it could be fatal.

Just as I was about to have further conversations with the other party, someone came to disrupt things.

"Kakashi! We have a mission!"

A voice that sounded like a gentle breeze came from behind them, interrupting Toshiro and Kakashi's conversation.

Looking back, three figures dressed in special operations uniforms appeared silently behind them.

The leader had striking blond hair.

It was Minato Namikaze, who served as the referee during the last Chunin Exams.

Standing next to him were Shimi Aburame and Choza Akimichi.

Looking at the three people's attire, coupled with the scene, it's clear that...

Is it already time for the Loulan mission to begin?

【Hmm! It should be correct!】

During this mission, Minato Namikaze will likely encounter his future son.

only……

I wonder if things will unfold as the story goes now that I have my own little butterfly...

Kakashi nodded to Toshiro again as a farewell, ignoring his former classmate, and headed straight for Minato Namikaze.

Yongdai Mei gave them a friendly smile, then disappeared with her companions.

"What the hell! Kakashi, that guy~"

These kids were quite unhappy that they had been ignored by the other side.

If the other person hadn't already disappeared, I definitely would have gone up and confronted them properly...

Ignoring the complaints of those around him, Toshiro's thoughts drifted to Kakashi's current mission...
