Konoha: Starting from being adopted by Tsunade

"Natsume-sensei, did you do this on purpose?"

Naruto Uzumaki asked with a complaint on his face.

Uchiha Sasuke raised his head after hearing this, his eyes also full of suspicion.

Even Hinata Hinata thinks so.

Because in her opinion, it was too easy to obtain the bell, and there was no unnecessary obstruction.

Obviously it doesn't match Natsume's strength.

It was obviously intentional.

But Uzumaki Naruto has another meaning.

Why were the two of them soaking and drinking water, but nothing happened to Hinata Hinata?

"You wrongly blamed the teacher. This is the result of your teamwork."

Natsume said nonsense seriously, "Without a head-on confrontation between you two, Hinata wouldn't be able to get the bell."

"Really?"

Although it sounded reasonable, Uzumaki Naruto instinctively felt that something was wrong.

Uchiha Sasuke snorted, not believing it at all.

But after this test, he recognized Natsume's strength.

During the battle, the pressure on him was far greater than that of Hatake Kakashi.

Very weak.

His proud Sharingan, Fire Style or Thunder Style, let alone hurt him, have never even touched the real body.

All in all, surprisingly strong.

"Really, what's the point of me lying to you?"

Natsume put on a smiling expression and praised, "Through this test, I have learned about your strength. You are the absolute best among your peers. Teacher believes that you can realize your dreams."

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Uzumaki Naruto immediately became excited. He clenched his fists and said, "I am indeed the man destined to become Hokage!"

"Bah, delete the last few words."

Natsume's expression changed and he quickly said, "It's about becoming Hokage, not a man who becomes Hokage. Do you understand?"

"ah?"

Naruto Uzumaki looked confused and asked, "What's the difference?"

"A big difference."

Natsume cut through the mess quickly and said, "If you want to be Hokage, just listen to me."

"Oh."

Uzumaki Naruto didn't know why, but he nodded and said, "I want to become Hokage!"

"idiot!"

Uchiha Sasuke glanced at him and said.

Natsume was clearly teasing him and was still so happy.

He didn't think there was any difference between the two.

"You two go change and we'll meet at Ichiraku Ramen."

Natsume paused and asked, "Naruto, are you sure you want to treat me today?"

"yes."

Naruto Uzumaki scratched his head and asked, "Is there any problem?"

Why does he feel that Natsume is acting weird today?

The man corrected the Hokage again and asked him for a treat.

Although he is frugal, he is really not short of money.

He could still afford a mere meal of ramen.

"no problem."

Natsume remembered that each of his three students was richer than the last.

Uzumaki Naruto inherited the fortune of Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina.

Needless to say, Uchiha Sasuke holds the wealth of the Uchiha clan in his hands.

Hinata Hinata is the eldest lady of the Hyuga clan and has a lot of pocket money.

Well, it probably won't break the bank to treat you to a guest.

It just might hurt for a long time.

"You go ahead."

Natsume waved his hand.

Uchiha Sasuke and Uzumaki Naruto, who were soaked in the rain, instantly turned into two black shadows and disappeared.

When he looked away, he noticed Hinata Hinata looking at him, with a pair of white eyes that seemed to have something to say.

"You can eat without worry."

Natsume stretched out his hand, touched her head and said, "Naruto is very rich."

"Um."

Hinata Hinata breathed a sigh of relief.

She followed Natsume's footsteps and looked at his big hands.

His heart was pounding, but he didn't dare to step forward. His hands were intertwined uneasily.

"Hinata."

Natsume saw her actions, took the initiative to hold her little hand, and asked, "I asked you to graduate early, do you blame me?"

Hinata Hinata's face suddenly turned red when she touched his warm hands, and her head felt dizzy.

Hearing his question again, I managed to stay awake and replied in a low voice: "No...it's not strange, I'm very happy."

She is introverted, but she still has many friends in school.

Graduating early now is really hard to bear.

Just being able to be with Natsume diluted the sentimental mood.

And friends can meet at any time.

It's not a matter of life and death.

"That's good."

Natsume smiled and said, "The teacher asked me to choose three students, so I thought of you."

"Um."

Hinata quickly lowered her head, but she didn't dare to ask the question she wanted to ask the most.

That is, after becoming a student, can the relationship go further?

She struggled for a moment, then raised her head, looked at his profile, and asked, "Brother Natsume, how was my performance just now?"

"Very powerful ah."

Natsume said without thinking, "At your age, you are already working very hard to be able to skillfully use the advanced secret technique of Soft Step and Double Lion Fist."

Hinata subconsciously pursed her lips and smiled.

Although the two of them met every day, it didn't last long. Most of the time, she was practicing silently by herself.

"Then...brother, did you do it on purpose just now?"

Hinata blushed and summoned the courage to ask.

"It was intentional."

Natsume glanced down at her, and seeing how cute she looked, he smiled and said, "Hinata, you are treated very favorably here."

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt his hand being held harder by Hinata Hinata.

If it weren't for his support, she might have fainted and fallen to the ground.

Even so, she has transformed into a steam girl.

Natsume didn't say anything else, lest she really passed out, in which case he would be no different from a pervert.

After waiting for a while, Hinata recovered slightly, but she was still very nervous.

While walking, he kept peeking at Natsume cautiously.

Maybe she didn't notice.

But in Natsume's opinion, it was quite obvious.

After all, his strength lies here.

There was no way anyone was peeking at him without him knowing.

So sneaky, so cute.

Natsume didn't expose her, and the two of them slowly walked onto the street.

Hinata quickly let go of her hand like a frightened rabbit.

Alone it's fine.

She felt embarrassed in the presence of so many people.

"Hug...sorry."

Hinata stammered.

"There's nothing to apologize for."

Natsume touched her head and said, "I don't want others to see you looking so cute."

"Eh?"

Hinata Hinata suddenly panicked and walked to Ichiraku Ramen House without even noticing.

What Natsume just said was all in his mind.

"Natsume-sama."

Shou Da, who was wearing a white chef costume, said with a smile, "You haven't been here for a long time."

"Dad, there is another guest."

Iris pointed at Hinata Hinata who was in a daze and said.

"Sorry sorry."

Tateda laughed and asked, "Hinata, what do you want to eat?"

He was very impressed with Hinata Hinata.

It should be said that anyone who sees a little girl eating forty-six bowls of ramen in one go will be impressed and unforgettable.

"I am the same as Natsume-nii."

Hinata Hinata came back to her senses and said subconsciously.

"As expected."

Iris showed an 'I understand very well' expression, looked at Natsume, and asked, "What does this handsome guy want?"

"We have a treat today."

Natsume smiled and said, "He will come later."

Calamus was a little dazed by his smile, but she was still a little surprised when she heard these words.

Invite Hinata to dinner?

So brave?

While she was wondering who it was, Uzumaki Naruto ran in quickly.

"Slap uncle with your hands! Sister Calamus!"

"So it's your treat today?"

Calamus asked with a somewhat admiring tone.

"It's me."

Uzumaki Naruto nodded in acknowledgement.

"It's not surprising that it's you."

Calamus touched his chin and asked, "Did you bring enough money today?"

"certainly!"

Naruto Uzumaki patted the bulging frog wallet on his waist and said.

"He's treating me to a bowl of bonito tomato ramen."

Uchiha Sasuke sat down without ceremony and ordered his meal.

"no problem."

Calamus blinked, but the handsome boy did not poke him with the needle.

No loss today.

"Teacher, and Hinata, you can do whatever you want."

Naruto Uzumaki supported the ninja's forehead, and said with full fighting spirit, "Uncle, please increase the bowl of barbecued pork ribs ramen, I want to have a big meal today!"

"Hey, I graduated."

Tejida noticed his forehead protector and said, "I told you that you will definitely become an excellent ninja."

"Thank you, uncle!"

Uzumaki Naruto suddenly giggled.

"Tonkotsu ramen."

Natsume glanced at the menu and said.

"me too."

Hinata Hinata said immediately.

"Just a moment."

Shou Da turned around and immediately got busy.

Not long after, the ramen was served.

Natsume casually handed a pair of chopsticks to Hinata Hinata.

Uchiha Sasuke twitched the corners of his lips and picked up the chopsticks himself, becoming even more sure that the test he just performed was intentional.

Uzumaki Naruto was the last one to finish the meal because he had an extra large bowl.

He touched his stomach and found that both Natsume and Uchiha Sasuke had stopped, but Hinata was eating the second bowl.

At first, he didn't care. After all, it wasn't uncommon for girls to eat two bowls.

It wasn't until she ate the third bowl that he felt something was wrong.

On the tenth bowl, his eyes were even bigger than those of the Nine Lamas.

Not only Uzumaki Naruto, but also Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina.

"Rizu, did you hold the wrong child?"

Namikaze Minato couldn't help but ask, "Is it from Ding Zao?"

"What are you talking about?"

Uzumaki Kushina elbowed him and said, "Hinata's Byakugan can't be fake."

"Naruto can't afford to support such a delicious girl."

Namikaze Minato said with emotion on his face.

"Do you need him to support you?"

Uzumaki Kushina turned to glare at him and said, "Don't you see that Hinata likes Natsume?"

"Have it?"

Namikaze Minato scratched his head.

"fool."

Uzumaki Kushina said, making herself laugh.

What they didn't expect was that the tenth bowl was just the beginning.

Hinata Hinata stopped after eating her fiftieth bowl.

Uchiha Sasuke, who was always calm, looked as if he had seen a ghost.

A big eater event held by Ichiraku Ramen before.

The two of them just missed training, so they didn't know Hinata Hinata's record.

Now that I saw it for the first time, I was so surprised that I couldn’t believe it.

"Naruto."

Acorus showed a beautiful and gentle smile and said, "For the sake of your graduation today, I will give you three thousand two hundred taels, minus the change."

Uzumaki Naruto nodded with some heartbreak.

He was suddenly glad that he was eating ramen and not barbecue, otherwise, it wouldn't be so cheap.

Even so, according to the genin mission standards and share, you have to do a lot of D-level missions to earn back.

Three thousand words.
