TUS Chapter 128: A Bowl Too Far
🕑 Added 2024-06-07 04:00:27 +0000 UTC“This customer.” Otsutsuki Teuchi said in a low tone. “There is something you must understand.”
"Please speak."
Otsutsuki Teuchi said with a serious expression: "Today's ramen event, only the first 100 bowls have discounts. You, the 101st bowl, have no discount!"
Funan's expression suddenly condensed, and he said in a deep voice: "Why? Just because you're one position behind?"
"As a ramen lover, you must give me a discount today, otherwise..." Funan sat down on the chair and said indifferently: "I won't leave today."
Teuchi sneered and said: "Are you threatening me?"
"For ramen, I'm threatening you today." Funan raised his head slightly, his expression proud.
The two looked at each other coldly.
Naruto swallowed carefully, a little scared.
Suddenly!
"Hahaha!"
"Funan, you haven't been here for a long time!"
"Yeah, I've been a little busy recently, Teuchi, do you miss me!?"
The two laughed and the atmosphere became extremely relaxed.
Teuchi sneered. "I miss you? What will I miss? That you come to bother me? My ramen has improved several times in the recent period, and you haven't come even once to try it. Do you still dare to call yourself a ramen lover?"
"Stop talking nonsense and make me a big bowl of ramen. I've been so busy that I haven't even eaten on time."
"Wait a minute!" Teuchi quickly got to work.
Naruto looked at them with envy and muttered: "You guys get along really well."
Funan took one look at him and said: "If he didn't charge me, we'd get along even better."
"Keep dreaming!" Teuchi, busy, laughed coldly and said: "You always eat at least three bowls every time you come, and you want it to be free. You're dreaming!"
The two have known each other for a long time.
When Funan was Naruto's age, Funan often ate ramen here.
Otsutsuki Teuchi's ramen was quite good, and Funan liked it very much.
Also...
Otsutsuki Teuchi's Ichiraku Ramen is known as one of the most mysterious places in the shinobi world.
No matter how many crises the world goes through, Ichiraku Ramen always thrives.
Many attribute the surname Otsutsuki to him, suspecting that he has some relation to them.
Faced with such a legendary figure, how could Funan not be curious?
What's more, such a person might become his enemy in the future, so it's good to know him earlier.
So the scene from just now came up.
Of course, this was just a joke on Funan's part, after years of interaction he knew that Teuchi was an ordinary person.
Unless his strength was so great that...
[Swish!]
Several shinobi wearing masks appeared at Ichiraku Ramen.
"Huh?" Teuchi looked at the newcomers and cast a furtive glance at Funan.
Seeing that he was calm, Teuchi sighed in relief and continued preparing the ramen.
"Funan-sama!" A shinobi came to Funan and whispered: "Why are you here?"
"Why?" Funan sneered and said: "Do I have to inform you where I'm going? How about I accompany you to the Konoha Police Force and give you a daily report?"
"No, that's not it." The shinobi was scared and almost collapsed. Just imagining that scene was scary enough. He was just a small ANBU. He hurriedly said: "Funan-sama, Hokage-sama invites you."
"Wait!" Funan responded with displeasure.
"It's not good to keep the Hokage waiting, is it?" A rough voice sounded.
Jiraiya strode into the ramen shop.
Recently, he has been following Naruto and teaching him. When he heard that Funan appeared beside Naruto, he rushed over as soon as possible.
Funan curled his lips and said: "Acting."
"...That's also the Hokage!" Jiraiya said. "Go, meet the Hokage."
"No, I want to eat noodles!" Funan sneered. "Why? Jiraiya, do you still want to play hard with me? Believe it or not, I will beat the shit out of you?"
"Cough! Cough!" Jiraiya couldn't help coughing dryly.
"Hey, Ero-Sennin, you're here to eat ramen too?" Naruto jumped up and greeted Jiraiya, a genuine smile on his face.
Jiraiya looked at little Naruto with a smile.
Funan glanced at Naruto and said: "Do you like him very much?"
"No!" Naruto pouted and said: "He's just a big pervert!"
"That's right!" Funan sneered and said: "Some people seem good, but who knows, maybe they have a dark side, maybe they hide unspeakable secrets. It is said that this is passed down from generation to generation."
Naruto was stunned.
Jiraiya said helplessly: "Funan!"
Funan sneered and was too lazy to talk.
The Third Hokage had always forbidden others from approaching the Jinchuriki, not just the Uchiha, but anyone.
As for Jiraiya, this bastard has been gone for so many years.
Even if he trusts the Third Hokage, Naruto is the son of his disciple, and he gave him the name. After so many years, shouldn't you come back to see him?
When the Uchiha made a move, Hiruzen called out to him, and he ran back.
Now that he saw Naruto's problems, he began to worry about him. Where was he before?
It was only thanks to Asura's chakra that Naruto maintained his joy. Otherwise, who knows if his heart would be distorted?
Anyway, Funan believes that if it were him, he would be the first to destroy Konoha.
Looking at Funan's gloomy face, Jiraiya stopped talking and waved to the ANBU.
The ANBU retreated and waited silently on the side.
Admittedly, Asura's chakra was really powerful.
Naruto, after a brief confusion, quickly returned to his cheerful state, shouting in front of Jiraiya.
Clearly, he considered Jiraiya to be very close to him.
Jiraiya wanted to interact with Naruto, but because Funan was next to him, he felt awkward.
Seeing this, Funan sarcastically said: "Are you guilty?"
Damn it! Jiraiya was frustrated. Couldn't you stop bothering me?
At this time, the ramen came.
Three bowls.
One bowl for each of the three people.
The three of them broke their chopsticks in unison and began to eat. The scene was really warm and welcoming.
Naruto was touched. Not just because of Jiraiya, but also because he liked Funan. He didn't know why, but he felt that Funan had no bad intentions towards him. Funan was different. He wanted to get closer to him.
“What do you think? What do you think?” Naruto looked at Funan excitedly and said: “Uncle Teuchi’s ramen is amazing, isn’t it?!”
Funan glanced at him and replied: “I used to eat his ramen before you were born.”
"Uh!"
"Haha!" Teuchi laughed and said: "Naruto, Funan is right. When he was your age, he often came to my place to eat noodles. He would come every two or three days."
Naruto asked curiously: "Then why haven't I seen him?"
Teuchi said indifferently: "Some time before you were born, he suddenly stopped coming."
"Why is that?" Naruto was still very curious and couldn't help but ask Funan subconsciously.
Funan glanced at Jiraiya and said sarcastically: "Ask your master, how dare I come here to eat noodles!"
"Huh?" Naruto looked at Jiraiya in confusion.
“Okay, that’s enough!” Jiraiya said impatiently: "Hurry up and eat your ramen."
He knew everything about Funan in Konoha. He knew that Funan loved Teuchi's ramen for a long time. But then the war broke out and Funan went to the front. Afterwards, Funan was caught in a storm of criticism and hardly left the Uchiha clan. He had no time to come here to eat ramen.
How to say this to Naruto?
Jiraiya felt that it was so embarrassing!
"What attitude? You scared me!" Naruto pouted in dissatisfaction.
A bowl of ramen was quickly finished.
The three of them ordered another bowl in unison.
The third bowl came next.
Naruto stunned Funan. This kid can actually eat five bowls!
Finally, Jiraiya paid the bill.
Funan looked at him with disdain and said: "Don't think that a few bowls of ramen can buy me off! Bah!"
Jiraiya's mouth twitched.
Funan looked at Teuchi again and said: "Didn't you say that only the 100th bowl was free? You liar, you actually gave discounts to other men!"
Teuchi's face fell.
Funan looked at the ANBU next to him and said: "Didn't you want to fight with me just now? Why didn't you move? I've been waiting for you for so long, come on! Come and fight me!"
The ANBU: "..."
Jiraiya said with a headache: “Funan, are you very angry today? Did you eat gunpowder or explosives?”
"Hmph!" Funan snorted coldly, turned around proudly, and left here. As for the Hokage's office? Go to hell, who has time to see that old thing.
...
In the Hokage's office, Torifu had just taken the medicine, drank a large glass of water, and then gasped for air!
Hearing that Funan and the Jinchuriki were eating ramen together, he felt like his heart was going to burst.
Kazu was very perceptive and quickly called the medical-nin.
Luckily, it wasn't long before Jiraiya intervened between Naruto and Funan.
As for Funan's cold face to the ANBU, what could Torifu say?
He is definitely the most aggrieved Hokage in history.
'I quit! I definitely quit! If I continue like this, I won't survive!'
"Now, immediately, right now, bring Tsunade back to me, tell Jiraiya that if Tsunade can't come back, he will take over for me!" Torifu shouted fiercely.
"Yes!"
The people in the office looked at each other.
[Knock! Knock! Knock!]
Hearing this sound, Torifu's scalp numbs.
Indeed!
Danzo and Hiruzen arrived together, standing like the two Guardian Beasts.
"Don't say anything!" Torifu raised his hand and said: "Whatever you want to say, tell Uchiha Funan. If it doesn't work, just have a fight! I promise I won't care!"
Hiruzen paused.
Danzo said angrily: "Torifu, do you still look like a Hokage now?"
"No!" Torifu said bluntly. “Replace me if you want. Which bastard is willing to be this Hokage."
Danzo almost choked to death again. 'I want! I dream of being Hokage!'
