Chapter 23: Calm Konoha Village

Although a little curious as to why Hinata appeared here, she looked at Naruto silently.

But Sakura couldn't care about that now. She now felt like being 'betrayed'.

I was obviously the one who came first!

"Naruto, why are you eating noodles here alone?" Sakura walked into the ramen shop and said in an exaggerated tone.

"Sakura?!" Ino immediately saw his former best friend walking in.

The moment he saw Sakura, Ino sat upright unconsciously, as if someone had caught her.

But after a moment, she came to her senses. Sakura and Naruto were just companions and had no other relationship. Why was she so nervous?

Faced with Sakura's attack with a gun and a stick, Ino responded quickly: "Speaking of which, Sakura hopes that you will come alone. Why didn't I see Sasuke-kun?"

"Sasuke-kun is busy training every day. It's not like someone who doesn't stay in his own team and runs out to find other men." Sakura immediately responded.

Strangely enough, Naruto was confident that he could deal with many enemies, but he had a headache in such a scene.

One side is a friend, the other side is a teammate, no matter where you stand, you look like a different person.

"It's also a skill to be able to find a man." Ino emphasized the word 'skill', "It's better than being alone."

"Well Boar!"

"Wide forehead!"

.....................................

No one expected that the man who finally stood up to settle the dispute turned out to be the shop owner's uncle.

"Guests, why don't you come and try our new special ramen?" The hand-made uncle brought over four large bowls of ramen.

"And that girl outside the door, why don't you come in and have a seat?" Uncle Hand Beat laughed and said, "Naruto's wallet must be able to support it."

Now that the boss has spoken, Naruto can no longer pretend not to know.

He poked his head out of the store and said, "Hinata, come in and have a meal together. I'll treat you."

Naruto-kun...Naruto-kun wants to treat me to dinner. Just thinking of this made Hinata blush from her neck to her face, and she even had the tendency to faint.

Naruto instantly caught Hinata's body, which seemed to be about to faint, and brought her back to the store.

"Hey, Hinata, what's going on?" Sakura was very surprised when she saw this scene and hurried to help.

Naruto shook his head: "It doesn't matter, she's just too shy. Just rest for a while."

"But how did you find out about the hand-beating uncle?" Naruto asked while finding a place for Hinata to sit down.

As a ninja, he had already noticed Hinata, but Sakura and Ino were enough of a headache, so Naruto had to pretend not to see her temporarily.

On the other hand, Uncle Hand Beater was able to discover Hinata, which surprised Naruto.

It can't be that in this world, Uncle Ichiraku has the surname "Otsutsuki", right?

"Naruto, don't look down on me." The hand-beating uncle smiled. "After all, I am also a man who has defeated the food ninja."

"What is a food ninja? Is it a ninja who can cook luminous food?" Ino asked curiously.

After hearing Ino's question, Ichiraku Tatechi laughed immediately: "Dishes that light up are a legend in the gourmet world! No one knows whether they exist or not."

"The so-called food ninja are a group of ninjas who study the art of food and are responsible for the appetites of other ninjas." Uncle Shouda explained with a smile.

"However, in the legend of Shokunin, there is indeed a dream recipe that records the 'Luminous Cuisine'. Unfortunately, no one has seen it, so it can only be regarded as a legend." At this point, Uncle Shouda still feels a little regretful. After all, as a cook

, it’s natural to want to see higher-level recipes.

While the two sides were making jokes, Hinata, who had almost fainted before, finally slowly returned to normal.

"Hinata-chan, you are too shy. Don't you usually talk to others?" Seeing Hinata recover, Sakura raised her own question. How do you usually communicate with your teammates if you are so shy?

"Well...except for Kiba-kun...Shino-kun doesn't like to talk either." Hinata's eyes swept over Naruto and she began to stutter again.

"So that's it." Everyone in the team is a taciturn type, no wonder Hinata is so shy and shy.

Sakura was about to say something, but she heard Naruto beside her say "I'm starting", and then she picked up her chopsticks and started eating noodles.

The steaming big bowl of ramen really whets your appetite, and you can't help but move your index fingers.

Seeing Naruto eating ramen with big mouthfuls, the stomachs of the other three people couldn't help but growl, and they all picked up their bowls and chopsticks.

"Ah! The super large portion of ramen is really great!" Naruto was the first to finish eating and couldn't help but raise his hand: "Uncle, please have another bowl."

"Okay!" As a chef, the ingredients you prepare can be understood by customers. This is when I feel happiest.

Ino and Sakura could only eat one bowl of the extra-large luxury ramen, while Naruto ate three full bowls. But he was not the best eater.

Five large empty bowls of ramen were already placed on Hinata's table.

"It's amazing." Sakura said to the stack of big bowls, "Hinata, how did you manage to eat so much in your stomach?"

"Maybe...maybe it's because I usually practice boxing a lot and I ate a little bit more today." Hinata was also a little embarrassed to expose her big eater's attributes in front of everyone.

"Ah! It's so delicious!" Naruto stretched out contentedly, stood up and settled the bill.

Hinata mustered up her courage and said with a blush on her face: "Naruto-kun, why don't I do it? Compared to how much I've eaten..."

Naruto waved his hand: "It's okay, Hinata. I made a lot of money from this mission. It's not a big deal to treat me like this."

Sakura touched her purse and was quite envious of Naruto. She had taken on so many ninja missions, but most of the mission rewards were taken away by her mother and 'kept for safekeeping'.

Unlike Naruto, one person can feed the whole family without getting tired, so he can spend money so lavishly.

When it came time to separate, Sakura and Ino took one path, while Naruto and Hinata took another.

This was what Ino said specifically to Naruto. Seeing that Hinata was shy and afraid of getting into trouble like this, she asked Naruto to escort Hinata back to Hinata's house.

However, this move seemed to have the opposite effect. Along the way, Hinata's head felt dizzy and she looked like she was going to faint at any moment.

Seeing Hinata like this, Naruto felt helpless.

He met Hinata according to the original story, so Hinata still fell in love with him, and she still looked extremely shy.

Suddenly, he had a bold idea: What would happen if he used the tiger charm on Hinata?

The Tiger Talisman can divide oneself into good and evil sides. If used externally, can it catalyze a completely different personality in others?

With such a neutral personality, will Hinata become more cheerful?
