Naruto: Forced to marry Naruto's mother at the beginning

Thinking of this, Asuma chuckled and said, "Red Bean, this meat doesn't taste good at all. Let me try the lion's head meatballs instead!"

"no!"

Hongdou quickly shielded the lion's head in front of her.

Unexpectedly, Asuma was too fast and managed to take one away.

"Hmm... Lion's head meatballs are indeed the real delicacy of the world."

"Hmph! Asma, you shameless! Let me tell you the truth, this lion's head was also made by Lin Ye."

"What? It's him again?"

Asuma's face darkened, and he showed a look of disgust.

Yuhi Red blinked her eyes slightly and grasped Hongdou's soft little hand: "Is everything you said true?"

"Of course, I'm Lin Ye's big customer. I bought a hundred lion's head meatballs in one go yesterday."

"This tastes much better than regular meatballs."

Red Bean patted her chest proudly in response.

Kurenai asked softly, "Red bean, may I have one?"

"Eat up! I have plenty more here."

"However, I want to eat your braised pork too."

"OK!"

"Tch, what good is it if he's just a cook? Don't even dream about stealing my fame."

Asma looked disdainful.

...

Konoha Village.

At this moment, Lin Ye's noodle shop welcomed a very important customer.

This person was none other than the Third Hokage, Hiruzen Sarutobi.

These past few days, he's been bored, so he's been using his telescope to peep at beautiful women taking baths—cough cough, I mean, to patrol the village.

Suddenly, I discovered that a Huaxia noodle shop had opened in the village.

This shop is doing very well, and it's owned by that kid Lin Ye.

So today, he came to taste it.

"Lord Third Generation, what brings you here?"

Lin Ye greeted him warmly.

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled calmly: "I'm here to eat noodles."

Chapter 12 Birthday Gift

"Please wait a moment!"

Ten minutes later.

A bowl of fragrant beef noodles is ready, to make the three generations of old men happy.

Lin Ye also specially put two pieces of braised pork and two braised eggs inside.

"This smells really good."

Hiruzen Sarutobi sat at the dining table and stroked his mustache.

Lin Ye laughed: "Third Generation Lord, you should try it quickly!"

"Then I won't stand on ceremony."

"Hahahahaha!"

"Good, good, good!"

"These noodles are smooth, chewy, and very elastic. The meat is cooked until tender and delicious. Paired with bright red chili peppers, it's simply a delicacy!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi was astonished and exclaimed in admiration.

The next second, he asked in confusion, "Lin Ye, when did you learn to make noodles?"

You should know that he lost both his parents at a young age and has lived in the village all his life, never even going out.

Lin Ye rolled his eyes and quickly explained, "Third Generation Lord, it's like this. Some time ago, I suddenly had a dream at night. I dreamed that I came to a place called Huaxia, which is full of all kinds of delicious food. That's where I learned to make Banmian (flat noodles)."

I initially thought it was just a dream, but unexpectedly, I actually succeeded in making noodles after trying it myself.

"Such a thing is true?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi looked shocked.

Lin Ye nodded vigorously: "Otherwise, how could I have suddenly learned how to make noodles?"

"China?"

“Even I have never heard of this name before. It seems you were not lying.”

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded to himself.

He considered whether to have the secret service search his memories, but then thought better of it. If he turned Lin Ye into a fool, how could he face Lin Ye's dead parents?

...

Time passed, and another ten minutes went by.

After the meal, Hiruzen Sarutobi asked, "Lin Ye, has anything happened with Kushina lately?"

"Don't worry, Lord Third Generation, she's fine. She's not as cold as before. We were talking just yesterday!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi nodded slightly: "Alright, I'll remember that. Report to me immediately if anything unusual happens."

"Your subordinate obeys!"

Lin Ye nodded and bowed.

At this moment, Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly asked, "By the way, Lin Ye, I have something else I'd like to ask for your help with."

"Please speak, Your Excellency. I will do my utmost to accomplish anything within my power."

Hiruzen Sarutobi stopped beating around the bush and spoke his mind: "It's like this, tomorrow is Asuma's birthday, and I can't think of a gift for him right now. What do you think?"

"Um......"

“My lord, it’s been cold lately. How about we give him a hat? It will keep him warm and let him know how kind you are to him.”

Lin Ye thought for a moment, and then spoke.

Hiruzen Sarutobi smiled and said, "Good idea, it's decided then."

After saying this, he put on the Hokage hat and slowly left.

"Hello, Lord Hokage!"

"These vegetables are for you!"

Many villagers came to greet them from outside the door.

"You are welcome."

Hiruzen Sarutobi responded with a smile.

...

After a while, Hiruzen Sarutobi arrived at a small hat shop.

"Holy Hokage, what brings you here?"

The shop owner, a middle-aged man, quickly stepped forward to greet him.

Hiruzen Sarutobi didn't mince words and went straight to the point: "I want to buy a hat."

"What color does Lord Naruto want?"

The shop owner pointed to the hats on the side, red, white, green, black... they had everything.

"Where the leaves dance, the fire will never cease; its light will illuminate the village and cause new trees to sprout."

"Give me a green hat."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said resolutely.

Green symbolizes life and growth, and he hopes that Asma can grow into a towering tree so as to better protect the village.

"Alright, Third Generation Lord, here you go. This is pure cotton and very warm."

The shop owner wrapped the hat up and handed it over.

"goodbye!"

...

Huaxia Noodle Shop.

"Brother Lin Ye, let me help you greet the guests."

Not long after Hiruzen Sarutobi left, Kurenai Yuhi, a beautiful girl with black hair and red eyes, arrived.

Lin Ye laughed: "Rihong, you are a guest, how can I let you do these things?"

"Brother Lin Ye, it's alright, don't be so polite with me."

Kurenai's attitude was resolute, her rosy face showing stubbornness.

Lin Ye had no choice but to agree: "Alright then! I'll make you something delicious later to make it up to you."

"OK!"

...

After the guests had eaten and drunk their fill, the two sat down to chat.

"Little sister Rihong, weren't you out on a mission?"

Lin Ye asked.
