The aroma of ramen fills every corner of the ramen shop.

Located in a secluded location near the glass exterior wall of the ramen shop, Naruto picked up the ramen with his chopsticks with a satisfied look on his face, and swallowed all the picked ramen into his stomach in one breath. It was as if his body and mind had been healed, and he was extremely exposed.

a happy expression.

Although his expression was a bit exaggerated, it also showed that the ramen here completely conquered Naruto's stomach, otherwise he would not have made such an expression.

"It's so delicious! Whether it's the miso soup or the texture of the ramen, it's all top-notch! I never thought that in a foreign country, I could eat ramen that's as good as the hand-made ramen. I'm so happy!"

With that said, Naruto picked up the ramen with chopsticks, ate it in one bite, and then took a big gulp of the soup.

He looked so happy while eating ramen that even a few people nearby couldn't help but arouse their appetite after seeing it.

"Thank you so much, Akako, the ramen from this ramen shop you recommended is really delicious."

Naruto put down the empty bowl in his hand. Not to mention the ramen, there was not even a mouthful of soup left in it, all of it was destroyed by Naruto.

"It's okay, Naruto, as long as you like it. After all, you also treated me to grilled fish when you were in the Land of Waves, so this time I treat it as a return gift."

Chizi, who was sitting opposite, shook his head and said it was nothing.

Because Naruto said before that he 'wanted to eat the best ramen here', he recommended this place. Seeing that Naruto was very satisfied with the ramen made by this ramen shop, Akako felt sincerely happy.

Sasuke and Sakura sat aside and did not interfere in their conversation.

"Speaking of which, you are Konoha ninjas, right?"

At this time, a voice interrupted the conversation between Ako and Naruto.

The person who spoke was a dark, four-legged cub. It was slightly larger than an ordinary house cat, and its tail was wagging like a pet dog.

"Did the dog talk?"

Naruto was stunned for a moment when he heard Thundermaru suddenly speak.

Sasuke and Sakura also looked at Thundermaru in surprise. They didn't expect that this cub that looked like a pet dog could actually speak.

"How rude. Have you ever seen a dog with horns? No, I'm not a dog, but a fairy beast that controls thunder."

Thundermaru, who was half squatting on the dining table, shook the dark hair on his body and said to Naruto displeased.

"Fairy beast?"

Naruto tilted his head.

"Yes, as a fairy beast that controls thunder, I can discharge electricity. What do you think, do you want to try the taste of electrotherapy? It will definitely make you happy."

Thunder Maru glanced at Naruto who spoke rudely, and the horn on his forehead suddenly flashed with blue lightning, as if it could be fired at any time.

Compared to Naruto who was frightened, Sasuke looked at Thundermaru in surprise.

He could see that the way Thunder Pill stored electricity on the horn was some kind of Muji Thunder Release, and it could be retracted and released freely. This ability to control Thunder Release was something he had only seen in Kakashi so far.

I've been there. In other words, this dark cub that looks slightly larger than a house cat is probably no weaker than Kakashi in terms of lightning escape.

"Brother Raimingmaru, Naruto is my friend, and he doesn't mean any harm."

Chi Zi dissuaded.

"Don't worry, I'm just scaring him. No matter what, I won't mess around here."

Lei Mingwan removed the lightning from his horn, as if he had done nothing just now.

"Thunder Pill...brother?"

When Naruto heard Ako calling Thunder Maru, he was so surprised that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear.

"Yes, Brother Raimingmaru is my elder brother. Is there any problem?"

Ako looked at Naruto suspiciously.

"Do you recognize me as my brother?"

Naruto suppressed these words.

"Chizi and I are biological brothers, you are so rare and strange."

Naruto, who was despised by Thundermaru, wanted to complain, but he didn't know how to complain.

"By the way, this is my sister Tianyu Nu."

Ako introduced Naruto to the girl in miko uniform sitting on the other side of him.

"Ah, hello, I am Uzumaki Naruto. They are Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura, they are my best friends."

Naruto panicked for a moment and said hello to Tianyu Nu.

The Tianyu girl glanced at Naruto briefly, nodded, and then continued to sit aside in silence.

Some people couldn't figure out what the Tianyu girl was thinking, and Naruto didn't dare to talk to her casually.

"Don't worry, sister Tianyu has always been like this. In fact, she is a very good person. She often takes care of us younger brothers and sisters at home, and is responsible for all the housework at home. There has never been any mistakes. Even my father and mother are right.

This is full of praise.”

Akako briefly introduced the situation of Tianyu Girl to Naruto.

To Naruto's surprise, was there an extremely delicate heart beneath the cold appearance?

But Naruto didn't dwell on it for too long. Although he thought Ako's brothers and sisters were a little strange, it shouldn't matter, right?

"Speaking of which, Naruto, why did you appear in the Kingdom of Demons? I remember that Naruto, you are a ninja of Konoha."

Ako asked curiously.

Before Naruto could answer, Thundermaru had already spoken first: "It's probably because of the matter of uniting the Chuunin. So, you have passed the first and second exams, right?"

Thundermaru, who had some knowledge of this, deduced that the three Narutos were candidates for the Chunin Examination.

"That's right, and not only the first two exams, I also passed today's preliminaries."

Naruto adjusted the forehead protector on his forehead, making people's eyes subconsciously focus on his confident smiling face.

"Today seems indeed to be the day for the qualifiers."

After Naruto's reminder, Raimeimaru also remembered that the qualifying competition was held today.

"In other words, I can see you playing in the finals, Naruto?"

Ako asked expectantly.

"Yes, I will appear when the time comes."

Naruto replied loudly.

"Well, that's great. I will cheer for you Naruto then."

The words that came out of Chizi's mouth immediately made Lei Mingwan speechless.

"Hey, Ako, which side are you from? Even if you want to cheer, you should cheer for the genin on our side, right?"

Even if he is a biological brother, Lei Mingwan sometimes cannot figure out the inner thoughts of his younger brother Ako.

"Well... then I'll cheer for everyone."

After thinking about it for a while, Chizi felt that this was a bit inappropriate, so he answered this sentence blankly.

This left Lei Mingwan speechless.

Next, everyone, except Tianyu Girl, including Raiming Maru, enjoyed a delicious meal of ramen here. Especially Naruto, who directly consumed three large bowls of ramen and didn't stop until his stomach couldn't hold it anymore.

Through the glass wall next to it, the lights of various colors in the night market complement each other, creating various beautiful scenery. Even at this time, the outside is still very lively, with people coming and going, as if a lively festival is being held.

More than half an hour passed unknowingly. After everyone finished eating the ramen, they stood outside the ramen shop. Suddenly, they went from the quiet shop to the noisy street, as if they had traveled from one world to another.

"Then, let's separate here. I won't disturb your rest, Chizi."

Seeing Ako who was already starting to feel sleepy, Naruto was embarrassed to continue bothering Ako as their tour guide.

"I'm very sorry, Naruto. Due to my physical condition, I've been feeling lethargic recently, so I won't be able to be your tour guide in the future."

Ako said apologetically.

"It doesn't matter, it's us who say thank you. After all, it's the ramen you treated me to."

Naruto didn't care.

"Sorry." Ako apologized again, then pointed to a route and said: "Go forward three intersections, then turn left and go straight two intersections, you will see a ninja shop, you can get supplies from there

.”

"Thank you. We'll leave first. You should go back and rest early."

With that said, Naruto waved to Ako and led Sasuke and Sakura towards the route indicated by Ako.

Watching Naruto and the other three go away, Raiming Maru squatted on Tianyu Girl's shoulders and said, "Although it's a distasteful thing to say, it's better not to get involved with the guys from Konoha."

This sentence is directed at the innocent.

"Why?"

"Konoha is our enemy. You make friends with him now, but sooner or later you will kill him because of your own position."
