Chapter 57 - 57 The Warmth Of Ramen
Seeing that Kakashi really answered his greetings, Naruto became more excited.
"Nii-chan, do you come here often? Why haven't I seen you before?"
"This ah…" Kakashi scratched his silver-white hair and said, "I usually come here often, but I hasn't come here in a while. Are you also often come here?"
"Yeah, I come here very often. I usually bring money to come here. The ramen here is really delicious. It is the best thing I have ever eaten."
Naruto said excitedly, it seems that he suddenly found a person who he can talk to, and he wants to say everything in his heart.
"That's true, I also think the ramen here is very delicious." Kakashi said with a smile.
"Right, right, I know that Nii-chan here also has excellent taste. The ramen here is superb and has a special taste."
Naruto's eyes became even brighter when he heard Kakashi's approval of the ramen.
"Yeah, it really has a special taste."
Kakashi's words are not wrong. After all, he really feels Teuchi's ramen does have a special taste.
This kind of food that is made with sincerity naturally has a special kind of warmth.
"Naruto, your ramen is ready."
At this time, Teuchi come with a bowl of ramen and placed it in front of Naruto.
Naruto couldn't help but stop talking when he sees this. He claps his hands together and said "Itadakimasu". Then he picked up the chopsticks and starts to eat the ramen happily.
He is so hungry right now. The monthly living expenses from Konoha are too little for Naruto, and he has already spent it all.
He hadn't eaten anything for two days now.
Naruto wondered if he didn't eat again today, he will be starves to death.
So Naruto starts to think of the people who could give him something to eat. But the people who would help him are only Sandaime and Teuchi.
Sandaime has been busy recently and he has forgotten to visit Naruto for a while now. When Sandaime did not visit Naruto, Naruto could not find Sandaime himself.
After all, it is hard to come to the Hokage office.
Naruto had no choice but to come over and find Teuchi, but he did not expect it to rain when he is in the middle of the road, making him wet.
Naruto wanted to go back halfway, but his hunger stops him from doing that.
At this time, Naruto cried out happily when eating the ramen in the bowl.
Sure enough, ramen is the best thing to eat, and Teuchi is the best person.
Naruto ate and ate, tears could not stop flowing from his eye.
'Why! Why!
Obviously I have done nothing wrong, so why all people hate me!
Why don't anyone want to play with me!
Why is anyone not willing to sell me something!
Why don't anyone smile to me!
Why!
What did I do wrong!
Who are my father and mother, why did they leave me alone…?'
Naruto's heart is full of bitterness, and only the temperature in this ramen gives Naruto a warm feeling.
Seeing Naruto's tears, Teuchi is a little bit stunned.
"What's wrong Naruto? Why did you cry? Did my ramen not good?"
Naruto hearing this quickly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and revealing a bright smile while saying: "No, Occhan's ramen is the best food in this entire world, so I cried because it was too delicious."
Looking at Naruto that made a strong smile, how can Teuchi not know what is going on?
'He is a really poor child.'
Teuchi secretly sighed in his heart.
Kakashi didn't feel good when he saw Naruto's tears.
'This is the child of the Yondaime Hokage!
He is the Hero who is holding Kyuubi inside him for Konoha's sake!
Why is he treated like this?
Is this what Jiraiya said about human suffering?
It's too cruel to let such a small child experience this.'
There are so many such children in this World, and the fate of all Jinchuriki is almost the same. Their childhood is definitely not a good memory.
Is this World wrong?
Kakashi doesn't know.
Under Naruto's fast eating, the bowl of ramen and soup quickly entered Naruto's stomach.
"Thank you for the ramen Occhan, it's very delicious."
Naruto put the chopsticks down and said Teuchi.
Kakashi looks at Naruto, only Naruto's tongue is still moving on his mouth, his hands are also touching his stomach, apparently he is not full yet.
Kakashi doesn't know how long Naruto has been hungry, but he knows about the amount of Naruto's terrifying appetite in the original work.
This guy is definitely not full, maybe not even a third full.
Naruto didn't really have enough, but he didn't dare to say it as he was afraid that Teuchi will think that Naruto wanted to take advantage of him and hate Naruto.
Although he knows that if he says it, Teuchi will definitely give him another bowl of ramen. Naruto still can't gamble on it.
He is afraid of losing someone who is kind to him.
This bowl of ramen is the only light that Naruto sees in the dark, he does not want to lose.
Seeing that Naruto is not eating enough, Kakashi feels a little distressed.
"Naruto, right?"
Seeing Kakashi calling his name, Naruto quickly turned his head at Kakashi and said, "Yes, I am Naruto."
"I am very glad that I meet you for the first time. I want to treat you with another bowl of ramen. Did you eat more of it?"
"Really? Shiro Nii-chan!" Naruto said excitedly.
"Shiro Nii-chan?" Kakashi is speechless. "Naruto, can you not give someone such a strange nickname?"
"Of course it's true, but don't call me Shiro Nii-chan, you can call me Kakashi Nii-san." Kakashi corrected.
However, Naruto apparently ignored Kakashi's correction, and said to Teuchi, "Occhan, Shiro Nii-chan treat me to some ramen, I want to eat the large bowl miso ramen!"
"Okay! I will give you a bowl of the biggest miso ramen!"
Teuchi said that he had pull up his sleeves and showed his biceps. Obviously he planned to do a big job.
"Otou-san, let me help you," said the little Ayame who is on the side.
"Ah, I have a really sensible daughter, let's do it together."
"Hmm."
Kakashi was sitting on the side and seemed helpless. Naruto didn't seem to hear his words just now. What the hell is Shiro Nii-chan? Who wants this kind of nickname?
'Sensei, it looks like your son really loves to give someone weird nickname.'
"Shiro Nii-chan, are you a shinobi? I see that you wear the Konoha's headband."
Naruto refers to the headband on Kakashi's head.
Kakashi sighed in his heart, it seems he can't escape the nickname of this Shiro Nii-chan.
"Yeah, I am a very good shinobi."
"Really? Nii-chan, can you teach me Ninjutsu?"
Naruto looked at Kakashi with expectations in his eyes.
"Ah, this is…"
Kakashi prolonged his words and Naruto starts to feels sad and thought: 'Sure enough, it is impossible.'
Naruto's heart is somewhat lost.
Seeing Naruto's appearance, Kakashi didn't know why but he was feeling a little uncomfortable.
"Of course it is ok." Kakashi said with a smile.
"Really? Really?" Naruto who originally thought that he would be rejected, was surprised to hear such words.
"Of course it is true."
"That's great!" Naruto happily jumped out of the chair.
Kakashi smiles as he looks at Naruto, he really is a hyperactive little devil.
"Naruto, your super miso ramen is ready."
Teuchi then said as he brings the super big miso ramen out of the kitchen and bring it toward Naruto.
Naruto saw the miso ramen, and the both of his eyes start to shine.
He didn't wait anymore and start eating the ramen.
"Ah! This is really delicious."
Yes, the ramen with this kind of warmth is a great ramen.
