Chapter 274 1 Le Ramen

After leaving the gate of the Hatake family, Nagato slowed down and touched his slightly hot face.

He rubbed it hard twice and continued walking towards the commercial street.

The words of the elders just now came to my mind, and I felt uneasy again.

It was just a normal meal.

Now, he didn’t know how to face Nono.

Maybe that person really just wanted to thank me for saving his life, that's all.

Walking down the street, Nagato did not attract anyone's attention and blended into the crowd like an ordinary teenager.

It was dinner time at this time, and the commercial street was bustling with people coming and going.

The aroma of food and the cries of vendors were everywhere.

Although Nagato didn't go shopping often, he still knew the roads.

Following the direction he remembered, he walked straight to the meatball shop.

It's almost six o'clock now.

It’s still far away, and we haven’t reached the meatball shop yet.

Nagato saw a long line of people, this dumpling shop was doing really good business.

Not far from the long line, a figure was looking around. It was Yakushi Nono.

When she saw Nagato, a happy smile appeared on her face.

"Nagato, here!!"

Nono waved his hand and greeted Nagato loudly.

It can be seen that she dressed up carefully before going out.

Her smooth hair fell to her shoulders and she was dressed very decently in a clean kimono.

His fair face was matched with black-framed glasses, and his eyes were completely invisible when he smiled.

"coming."

Nagato agreed and quickened his pace towards Nono.

"Sorry to keep you waiting."

When he reached Nono, Nagato felt a little apologetic.

"It's okay, I just got here a while ago."

Nono had actually been waiting for almost half an hour, so she arrived a little early.

It's not even six o'clock yet.

"oh oh."

"Would you like some meatballs?"

Nagato pointed at the long line around him, but he himself didn't seem very interested.

But considering that Nono is here, it must be something she likes to eat.

"Okay, wait here for me, I'll go buy it."

“This meatball is really delicious.”

Nono's eyes lit up and he took a step forward to queue up.

"I'll go, what flavor do you want?"

Nagato stopped Nono, he subconsciously felt that it was a bit inappropriate to let girls queue up to buy.

Although he is young, he is a bit chauvinistic. I don’t know who he learned this from.

"No, I'll just go buy it."

Nono was still insisting, after all, it was she who asked Nagato out.

She thought to herself, if Nagato continued to fight for it, then let him buy it.

All I can say is that she still doesn't understand Nagato well enough, and Nagato is not the kind of person she thought he was.

"then you go."

Nagato replied calmly.

He stood there like a wooden stake, with no intention of moving at all.

"Ah~"

"Well, I'll go then."

Nono almost didn't react.

The introverted Nagato would never push her around, and his bit of machismo became unnecessary due to her insistence.

"Well, I'll wait for you."

Nagato nodded, looking extremely well behaved.

Nono walked slowly to the end of the long line before he came to his senses.

"What flavor do you eat?"

She called out to Nagato, the line was too long and they were already some distance apart.

"Just buy whatever you like, I'm fine with anything."

What Nagato said was true; the good days didn't last long.

He is not a picky eater.

When I was wandering with Yahiko and Konan, it was common for us to go hungry.

"it is good."

Nono didn't ask any more questions and prepared to order a portion for Nagato according to his own taste.

After more than ten minutes, it was finally Nono's turn.

She bought two boxes of red bean balls, which is her favorite flavor.

It’s sweet and sticky and delicious.

The two left the meatball shop and walked side by side on the street.

"Is it tasty?"

Nono took a big bite of one, with an expression of enjoyment on his face.

The eyes disappeared again.

"Well, not bad."

Nagato's eating style seems to be more elegant than Nono's.

He chewed it in small bites and it tasted really good.

"That's not."

"I'm telling you."

"Before I was at the root, I didn't have time to come out."

“I buy one every time I get a chance.”

“That’s when I’m happiest.”

Nono seemed to be telling a trivial matter.

In fact, the time she spent at the Root was the darkest experience in her life.

"As for the roots, I've heard the teacher mention it before."

"You must have suffered a lot at that time."

When Nagato came to Konoha, Danzo was already dead.

He also heard about some root matters during the occasional casual conversations between Chuan Feng and the others.

"Yeah, it's very bitter."

"Thanks to Lord Chuan Feng, we are able to escape from the sea of ​​suffering."

"By the way, Nagato, are you also a disciple of Master Kawanakade?"

Nono blinked her eyes. She didn't mean to pry into Nagato's privacy. She was just curious.

"Yes, we are orphans that our teacher picked up from the Rain Country."

Nagato said this very calmly, time had healed his pain.

He is also quite satisfied with his current life.

There are elders who love you and friends to have fun with.

Sometimes he still misses the hometown where he was born and raised.

Even though the place was in ruins, his parents' graves were there.

"Sorry, I do not know."

Nono felt a little guilty because she thought she had touched upon Nagato's sad past.

"It's okay, it's all over."

"At least we're all doing well now, aren't we?"

Nagato didn't mind at all and even smiled at Nono.

"Yes, you are right."

"Will Lord Chuanfeng be very strict at home?"

Kawanakade is already a legendary figure to ordinary ninjas.

Nono's knowledge of him was limited to rumors and a few meetings.

Fortunately, she was young, otherwise she might have been one of the people who died tragically on the day Danzo was killed.

"Uh, it's okay."

"The teacher is not too strict and is very nice to us."

Nagato thought about it briefly and he couldn't connect the word "Kawafeng" with the word "strict".

Perhaps Kawakaze's actual painting style is far from the characters in Nono's mind.

If Nono was asking Tsunade, it would be harsh indeed.

Nagato was beaten a lot when he was learning medical ninjutsu from Tsunade.

"I see. I thought Lord Chuanfeng would be very strict at home."

"I heard that he has fought more tailed beasts than most of us have ever seen."

Although Nono had never seen a tailed beast, he could still hear how terrifying the tailed beast was from everyone's fear.

Then wouldn’t Lord Kawakaze, who can beat up the tailed beasts, be even more brutal?

"Well, that's about right."

Nagato did not tell Nono that Kawakaze beat the Three-Tails to pieces in front of him.

"Then Nagato, did you learn medical ninjutsu from Hokage-sama?"

Nonou turns into a curious baby, constantly wanting to know about Nagato's life.

"Yes."

"Master's medical ninjutsu is indeed very powerful."

Nagato: This is praise from the bottom of your heart.

At his current level, he has only learned the basics of Tsunade.

"Of course."

"Hokage-sama's medical ninjutsu is second to none in the entire ninja world."

Nagato hadn't expected Nono to hold Tsunade in such high regard.

When she said this, the light in her eyes could be seen clearly through her glasses.

"Then I'll take you to see him when I have a chance."

"Maybe the Master's wife can give you some pointers."

Nagato wasn't just saying this casually, Tsunade was still very willing to give guidance to the medical ninja.

But Tsunade is usually very busy, so such opportunities are usually rare.

"really?"

Nono excitedly grabbed Nagato's arm and jumped happily on the spot.

If she could really get Tsunami's guidance, she would be willing to do so.

"Of course it's true. Can I still lie to you?"

Nagato was a little amused and confused. Was he really so unreliable in her eyes?

It may be difficult for others, but it is no big deal for him.

"Then I will remember it."

Nono was not a snobbish person, so she did not ask when Nagato would take her to see Tsunade.

Even if Nagato was just saying it casually, she probably wouldn't care.

She was very happy to have this thought.

"Don't worry, I won't let you down."

Nagato made another promise to keep this in mind.

"What are we going to eat?"

Nono was not aware of Nagato's preferences and did not act on his own.

Only now did I discuss it with him.

"Don't just ask me, what do you want to eat?"

Nagato still remembered what Kawakaze said and told himself to be more gentlemanly.

"me?"

Nono now has a little understanding of Nagato's ways. He is probably not someone who likes to make choices.

"Why don't we go get some ramen?"

“Ichiraku Ramen tastes great and the portions are generous.”

Nono thought about it for a moment and gave Nagato an answer.

"Well, I always hear people mention it."

“I haven’t eaten there yet.”

Nagato agreed without hesitation.

Ichiraku Ramen is now well-known in Konoha, and many Konoha ninjas are regular customers.

"Let's go then."

"This way!!"

Nono pulled Nagato, and they were now heading in the opposite direction of Ichiraku Ramen.

“Do you eat there often?”

Nagato followed Nono obediently.

Look at this lovely girl and try to understand her better.

"Not really, I just go there occasionally."

"Because there are so many people and there are always queues, it's very annoying."

When Nono said the last sentence, she pouted, which made her look even cuter.

“That’s annoying indeed.”

“So I seldom go out to eat.”

Nagato agreed with Nono's opinion that queuing was indeed a bit annoying.

However, he didn't avoid going out to eat because he was afraid of queuing, but because the Hatake family restaurant could satisfy all his taste buds.

The two walked and talked, and after a few minutes, Ichiraku Ramen was clearly visible.

The small noodle shop was packed with people and the line formed a long queue.

"So many people."

Nagato suddenly sighed, he really didn't expect Ichiraku Ramen to be so popular.

At the same time, I also have more expectations in my heart.

"How about changing to something else?"

Nono thought Nagato didn't want to wait too long, so he offered to change seats.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter whether she eats ramen or not.

"no, I'm fine."

"Since we're here, we should have a bowl of this now."

"I want to see if it's as delicious as everyone says."

A lot of people means the food tastes good, and Nagato is more inclined to believe this.

You can't have a group of people queuing up to eat at a restaurant that serves terrible food, right?

"It's really delicious. Let's go line up too."

"Otherwise there will be more people later."

Nono was very experienced. After he finished speaking, he took Nagato's hand and the two of them trotted to the end of the team.

It all happened naturally, and neither of them felt there was anything wrong with it.

Nagato was a little cautious and took a step forward to stand in front of Nono.

Nono didn't care and still smiled.

Not long after the two of them stood still, more people came up behind them.

“Business is really booming!!”

It was hard for Nagato to imagine how delicious the ramen must be to attract so many customers.

"That's right. The longest time I waited in line was almost an hour."

"I almost starved to death."

"When it was my turn, I ordered two bowls straight away."

Nono had some complaints, but also felt a little proud.

He stretched out two fingers and gestured in front of Nagato.

"Haha~ How many bowls do you plan to eat today?"

Nagato was amused by Nono. He didn't expect that someone who looked so weak could actually have such a big appetite.

"I've had meatballs today, so one bowl is enough."

Nono felt a little shy at this moment, wondering if he would be seen as a good-for-nothing.

How could she know that there would be a big eater in the future? That girl ate 48 bowls.

She only had two bowls, what does that count for?

"Don't hide your strength. Being able to eat is a blessing."

Nagato couldn't stop laughing and started teasing Nono.

He had experienced hunger before and could understand Nono's feelings at that time.

If he is very hungry, he would have no problem eating a few more bowls, let alone two.

"No need, I'm easy to feed."

“One bowl is really enough.”

Nono hurriedly explained, probably speaking without thinking in such a hurry.

What does it matter whether she can support Nagato?

After saying this, she seemed to come back to her senses and a blush appeared on her face.

He then explained: "I mean, I'm not good at spending money."

"not me……"

Nono felt that something was wrong the more he spoke, and his embarrassed look made people want to bully him.

"Well, I really don't believe you can bankrupt me."

Nagato couldn't help but reach out and pinch Nono's face.

It was only after he finished this action that he came to his senses.

The two looked at each other and stood there in a daze. The atmosphere was a little weird for a moment.

"Um, I'm sorry."

"I did not do it on purpose."

Nagato broke the silence and apologized.

Whether Nono believed it or not, he believed it anyway.

Maybe the hand has a mind of its own.

"It's okay. I don't mind."

Nono's voice was soft and his face was as red as a monkey's butt.

After all, her breasts have been touched, so what does it matter if her face is pinched?

"That's fine, that's fine."

Nagato breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing what he was feeling thankful for.

But the feeling of pinching Nonou's face is really good, much more stimulating than pinching Konan's face.

Xiaonan is not that gentle, she will pinch it back immediately.

"Hey, both of you move forward."

"Don't just chat."

Suddenly a voice came from behind Nono, and his words were quite tactful.

If it were a ruder guy, he would definitely tell the two of them to go home and talk about their relationship instead of disturbing everyone else’s mood while they queue.

"sorry Sorry."

Nono looked back, apologized quickly, and pushed Nagato forward.

There was already a large space in front of the two of them, so it was difficult for the eldest brother to just speak up and remind them.

"Be careful on your own."

The eldest brother rolled his eyes and sounded very unhappy.

I have to eat dog food when I go out to eat a bowl of noodles. I can't live a day like this.
