6 Ichirakus Ramen (1/2)

The village looks really peaceful now that I'm walking through it, it's overwhelming feeling the vitality and seeing its beauty in person, it makes you really want to make this place home, to protect this peace is probably what all shinobi want, but sadly its just the outer appearance.

The area we're walking is on the south of the village, apparently the orphanage is located between the Uchicha Police department and the Aburame clan compound.

Wherever we walked all the people would stop to pay their respects to the Hokage, he really has high prestige inside the villagers, though to be fair, taking Konoha through 2 wars and winning makes him really amazing. I could also see curiousty from most of the villagers when they're looking at me, good thing I have the face mask on, blond hair won't expose me since its not rare when they have Yamanakas, its the whiskers that gives it away, but that curiousty won't last long when the haters in the civilian council releases information on me, they would then all show their ugly side.

Its really a miracle how Naruto wanted to protect them after all they've done and made him go through, naivety and the academy preaching and drilling loyalty probably played a big part in it.

You could also see it as the Hokage brainwashing Naruto if you don't take his feelings into account, although he does consider Naruto as a surrogate grandson, he's also a Hokage and has to take into account the village before anything else, showing affection to a attention starved kid will make them fiercely loyal. He could make him loyal, protect him and take care of him at the same time by doing that, you can't have a jinchuuriki that isn't loyal, that's just a recipe for disaster.

We soon reached the slums, and I could see Ichirakus on the other side of the road, its really close to the Hokage Tower, the smell coming out of it is heavenly. I started tugging on Hiruzens robe, when he turned to me I started to point towards it, I really want to see why it was so good in the show and if its true.

”Hmm? you want to go eat at Ichirakus?”

He seemed surprised and amused aswell. I nodded and started dragging him towards it, he started laughing and we entered the shop, he had to pull open the curtains to enter, we sat down and waited, it didn't take long for a young slender girl with long, dark brown hair and large black eyes with fair skin to come out, it was Ayame. She was wearing a white robe with the sleeves folded, a sort of dark blue apron with ribbon ties at the top and a bright white bandanna. She was in the process of tying her apron.

”Welcome to Ichirakus ramen, how may I serve you?” She had a really enthusiastic voice, when she looked up she was startled and started to look panicky.”H-Hokage-sama!, its an h-honour to have you here, how may I serve you” She composed herself fast and bowed almost 90 degrees while speaking.

Hiruzen was amused looking at her, he started waving his hand, ”how have you been doing Ayame-chan, I'm just here with young Naruto to eat ramen, could you give me 1 miso ramen and see what Naruto wants” He looked towards Naruto and saw him take out his brush, he looked around before seeing him take a napkin close by and write something, seeing him not able to speak really made him sad, hopefully he can have a doctor take a look and see whats wrong with him.

Ayame was curious about the little boy, she couldnt make out his face, just his blond hair and sky blue eyes, when she saw him take down his face mask and start writing made her curious on why he didn'ttalk but she soon forgot it when she saw how cute he looked when he concetrated, she just wanted to glomp him and pinch his cheeks.

I started shivering for no reason, I started looking around after I gave Ayame my order, I soon dismissed the feeling and went back to waiting. I wanted to try the Miso Chashu Pork ramen that I saw in the show.

Taking the napkin and reading it, she turned around and shouted into the kitchen, ”1 Miso ramen and 1  Miso Chashu Pork ramen tou-san”. I could hear a sound from inside, when she turned back towards us she started to intently stare at me, I started shivering again and when I looked up at her I could see her blushing and staring at me like I was a piece of meat, I wiped away the cold sweat and thanked god Hiruzen was here, I turned to him and implored him to make her stop with my eyes, fucker just stared at me with amusement in his eyes and a smile.
