CH 61

After coming out of Duy’s house, Kanpū did not relax, or show any suspicious expressions such as joy and ease.

In his previous life, Kanpū had seen too many examples of people standing in front of the gate to success, but being trampled to death because of their complacency.

For example, those villains, after various schemes, various provocations, and various hardships, they finally successfully beat the protagonist to the ground! They could have ended the plot with one slash of their sword, or ruled the world, or embraced the beauty, but in the end, the villains either started to talk about how tortuous their mental journey, or they started talking about ideals and pretending to be great, or pretending to have no brains and nagging endlessly, in short, these villains are obviously already standing in front of the gate of success, but they walked around in front of this gate and just didn’t go in. In the end, with no surprise, these villains were all counterattacked by the protagonist.

There are too many, Kanpū has watched too many of them from TV series and movies!

So in any case, he will not repeat the mistakes of these villains!

‘I have stood in front of the gate to success. At this time, I must not reveal the slightest flaw! ‘

So, in the next few days, Kanpū resisted with great perseverance to not take out the scroll under the corridor, and he didn’t even look at it, as if he didn’t have that thing at all.

The past three days passed peacefully, and nothing happened at all.

Of course, to say that nothing happens, there actually is, Kanpū can’t sleep well at night, and always worrying about which little animal will take away the scroll that is under the corridor.

On the fourth day, Kanpū was attending classes at the Academy, distracted throughout the whole journey, and was criticized several times by Yu.

But there is no way, as Kanpū’s mind is now full of scroll, and there is no way for him to calm down and study.

“Kanpū, what happened to you these past few days?”

Iruka, who is next to him, looked worried, “Is it related to what you did after school?”

Kanpū shook his head and then nodded, he couldn’t tell anyone about this, so he could only let it rot in his heart.

Iruka looked even more worried.

He went to discuss with Anko and the others, and decided to go shopping and eat ramen together after school in the afternoon, so that Kanpū could have a change of mood!

For Kanpū, Anko and Tsukasa has made great sacrifices, otherwise, they would definitely eat desserts such as dango, red bean paste, and bean paste buns.

“Kanpū, let’s go eat ramen together after school!” Iruka returned to his seat after finished discussing, and said directly to Kanpū.

“Ramen?” Kanpū’s mind moved, and the stalwart figure of a middle-aged man instantly appeared in his mind.

“Well, I know the ramen in a ramen shop is very delicious, and its taste is the best in Konoha!” Iruka said excitedly, “I always eat it every month!”

Kanpū’s eyes lit up: “Okay, let’s eat ramen later!”

When it comes to ramen, the first thing Kanpū thinks of is the legendary Ichiraku Ramen. If there is no cheat, Kanpū might have become an apprentice in the Ichiraku Ramen now!

After school, Kanpū immediately sent Hayate home, and told him that he won’t be home for dinner. Then, he go out and meet Iruka and the others at the agreed place, and then the six-person group rushed to the ramen shop full of energy.

On the way, Anko hummed and said: “Kanpū, you need to thank me. If it were not for you, I would not eat ramen. how can ramen be as delicious as red bean paste.”

“I also want to eat red bean paste.” Tsukasa swallowed her saliva.

“Woof.”

The little puppy Shiramaru wags its tail. No matter when and where, no matter if it is windy or rainy, as long as its little master speaks, it guarantees to be the first to response!

“Compared to red bean paste, I still prefer ramen.” As men, Kotesu and Izumo, don’t like dessert very much.

“You two, you obviously ate a lot at the last picnic.” Anko was dissatisfied.

“That’s because you bought extra spicy meatballs!” Iruka couldn’t help but complain.

Anko ignored them, resolutely not admitting her mistake.

Soon, the entire group rushed to the ramen shop noisily.

When Kanpū saw this, he suddenly panicked: “Fu, Futaki Ramen?”

Looking at the words on the signboard outside the ramen shop, Kanpū was shocked, ‘What the hell is that name?’

“Kanpū, this is the best ramen shop in Konoha!” Iruka said excitedly, “Futaki Ramen!”

“Uh…”

Kanpū looked at Iruka blankly: ‘I didn’t expect that you, Iruka, turned out to be a traitor to Ichiraku Ramen.

‘I and Teuchi-san are very disappointed in you!’

“Let’s go in.” As a regular customer, Iruka walked into Futaki Ramen first.

The storefront of Futaki Ramen is somewhat similar to a tavern. On the right is the ramen bar, and on the left are small square tables. It is almost time for dinner, but there are not many customers on these small square tables.

Iruka seemed to see the doubts on Kanpū’s face, and sighed helplessly, “Because the ramen here is the best, the price is also expensive. That’s why there are not many people coming her.”

Anko, as the group’s financial manager, immediately took out the money from her pocket, checking the price list, frowned and then said: “Iruka, our money is only enough for the cheapest miso ramen, and it’s also a small bowl.”

“Don’t worry, even the cheapest miso ramen tastes superb!!” Iruka said excitedly.

At this time, the waiter of Futaki Ramen had already seen Kanpū and the others, so he smiled and greeted them to sit down: “Hello kids, what kind of ramen do you want to eat?”

“Six bowls of miso ramen, small bowl!” Iruka said, “We also wanted a lot of soup, thank you.”

“Understood, then please wait.”

After the waiter left, the group started chatting again.

Kanpū sat in the middle position with his elbow propped his chin, boredly watching the ramen master behind the bar start pulling the noodles.

‘It’s just that, did the small eyes of the 20-years or so-old youth look so familiar?’

Kanpū suddenly have a thought flashed through his mind, turned to look at Iruka, and asked in a low voice: “Iruka, who is the boss of Futaki Ramen?”

“It’s boss Fujino Matsu.” Iruka said.

‘Fujino Matsu?’

Kanpū blinked his eyes twice, then pointed to the small-eyed young man who was pulling the noodles, and asked: “Then who is he?”

“He is boss Fujino Matsu’s disciple.”

Iruka suddenly leaned to Kanpū’s ear and whispered, “However, although he is the boss’s disciple, the ramen he made is actually more delicious than the boss!”

“What’s his name?” Kanpū’s heart thumped.

“Teuchi, everyone calls him Teuchi-san.” Iruka said, “What’s wrong?”

“No, nothing.”

Kanpū finally understands.

‘No wonder there is no Ichiraku Ramen, it turns out that Teuchi-san is still working for others!’

Kanpū recalled, ‘In the original plot, the first mention of Ramen Ichiraku in the original work should be in the movie version, Lost Tower. At that time, Ramen Ichiraku, which was founded by Teuchi-chan, was just opened and it was full of costumers, and the line went out for several hundred meters. Kakashi, Guy, Shizune, and Asuma were also in the line, and then, Minato appeared and took Kakashi to Rōran to perform the Ryūmyaku’s mission, so…’

‘Huh?’

‘Chotto matte!’ (T/N: It’s like this in the raw, just like ganbatte.)

‘Ryūmyaku?!’

Kanpū’s eyes suddenly lit up.
