Chapter 23 You've come up with a really brilliant idea!
As night falls, in this ninja world where nighttime entertainment is scarce, the streets are deserted, with only ninjas on routine patrols remaining.
Every household turned off their lights and went to bed early, and the only entertainment left was making babies.
Meanwhile, in the Hokage's office, the Second Hokage, Tobirama, was reviewing documents. After all, all the affairs, big and small, of the entire ninja village had to be handled by him as the Hokage.
Before he collapsed, he hoped to contribute more to the village.
Unfortunately, not everyone could understand him. So many eyes were watching him, waiting to seize power from him after his death.
"Second Grandfather".
A crisp voice rang out as Tsunade pushed open the door to the Hokage's office and walked in carrying a food box.
"Oh, it's Xiaogang. Why didn't you go to rest but came to find me instead?"
"Hehe, didn't Second Grandpa say before that you also wanted to try Chiba's ramen? I'm here to bring Second Grandpa some ramen."
"Bringing me ramen? Hahaha."
Hearing that Tsunade was actually concerned about him, Tobirama smiled.
“Our little Tsunade has become so sensible, she knows how to care about her second grandfather. I just casually mentioned that I wanted to try his ramen, and I didn’t expect you to actually bring it to me.”
"As a junior, isn't it only right to care for the elders? Second Grandfather, come and eat while it's hot."
Tsunade placed the food box on Tobirama Senju's desk.
"His ramen is so delicious. I just delivered some to my grandma, and she really likes his ramen too."
"Oh, you brought one for your sister-in-law too? Tsunade has really grown up."
Tsunade sat obediently beside Tobirama.
"It's alright. Actually, I only bought one serving at the time. The other one was a gift from Mr. Chiba. When he heard that I wanted to bring it to my second grandfather to try, he gave me a special discount, buy one get one free, and said that I could also bring one for my grandmother."
Tobirama opened the food box, and the aroma of ramen instantly filled the Hokage's office.
Tobirama nodded in approval.
"The younger generation of the Chiba family is very thoughtful. It seems he still cares about our Senju clan."
"The Chiba family? Is it the Chiba family?"
Tsunade became interested in the Chiba family. She knew that her Senju clan was a major clan in the village, and many humans had once been their vassals.
However, she really didn't have much of an impression of the Chiba clan.
"Yes, the Chiba family, he's the only one left."
"Huh? Is that so? Second Grandfather, can you tell me about the Chiba family? How did they end up with only one person left?"
"Speaking of which, it's us Senju who have let down Chiba."
Tobirama sighed and began telling Tsunade about the past.
After hearing about the Chiba family's deeds, Tsunade was also very surprised.
"The entire Chiba family were ninjas. They all sacrificed themselves for our Senju clan and for the village! Only Chiba Boss, who had no ninja talent, survived. And the former good-for-nothing became the only heir of the Chiba family."
"Yes, the Chiba family are all excellent, including the current Chiba boy."
With that, Tobirama took a bite of ramen.
The taste was surprisingly good. Although it was packaged and the noodles had been soaking in the soup for a long time, they were still surprisingly chewy.
The noodles absorbed the flavor of the broth, making them even more fragrant.
The side dishes were also handled just right, not overpowering the main flavor of the ramen, but rather enhancing it.
“Indeed, this lad from the Chiba family is truly skilled. With this skill, I believe he can live a prosperous life in the village.”
"That's right, Second Grandfather. You don't know, Boss Chiba's business is absolutely unique in the village. He even invented instant ramen, which can be eaten after just soaking in hot water. It's so convenient."
"Oh, is that so?"
Upon hearing about instant ramen, Tobirama thought about many things for a moment. His first thought was whether it could be used by ninjas to carry out missions.
Thinking about it carefully, it seems to have little significance.
It seems to be useful for some patrol missions, allowing ninjas to have a hot meal when it's inconvenient to light a fire.
However, for some people who don't like cooking over a fire, or who don't know how to cook, this is indeed a good option.
Naruto: Long live instant ramen!
Tsunade told Tobirama about instant ramen, and then from instant ramen she talked about the idiot Jiraiya, and then about their training and other things.
The grandfather and grandson chatted about this and that for a long time.
Meanwhile, at Tetsuya Chiba's home.
Tetsuya sat on the bed, just about to meditate and communicate with the energy of heaven and earth to cultivate immortal techniques.
[My dear master, have you missed me these past few days?]
Seeing the dog system that had jumped out at him, Zhe couldn't help but sneer.
"Heh, I miss you, of course I miss you, I miss you so much! Why don't you just die! Last time you swindled me out of everything and gave me a bunch of worthless junk, and you still dare to show your face!"
"Oh, calm down, dear master. How could I possibly wrong you? You were just a little bit unlucky, okay?"
"Screw you! I can accept my bad luck, but why the hell did you divide a cup noodle production machine into five parts for me?! Are you trying to draw ninja fragments?! Why don't you just disassemble the machine into forty pieces, or even a hundred pieces, and then create a high-level gacha pool for me to draw from?!"
【Oh dear, calm down, calm down. I had no choice. It's just a production line, isn't it? I prepared an entire production line for you, my dear master, from making the cup noodles to the final packaging. It's a complete process, right? Please understand, it's very difficult for me too.】
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't hit this bastard, Tetsuya really wanted to strangle him.
There's no way around it, this dog is just too annoying, especially that husky face, I really want to hang him up and whip him.
"What are you planning to do this time? Let me tell you, I don't have any plans to draw cards right now. I have enough to digest for a while."
"Oh dear, what are you saying? You are my host, my dearest friend and loved one, my most respected master. Can't I even come out to see you?"
"Heh, keep bragging. Even if you brag the most, I'm not going to spend money on the lottery."
Tetsuya had basically figured out this guy's true nature. Whenever he had spare money, this guy would jump out and trick him into participating in various lotteries, then squeeze all the money out of him before leaving without a trace.
How could you think of me like that? Do you think I'm that kind of person?
"You're not human, you're a dog, and the most unreliable husky at that."
【...】
"Stop beating around the bush, just tell me, what do you want?"
[Um, Master, didn't you want to resurrect someone before? I've prepared a special reward for you.]
As he spoke, an interface that closely resembled the advanced recruitment interface of the Naruto mobile game appeared before his eyes.
Hey, what do you think of this?
"No way, you actually came up with a brilliant idea!"
