Ichiraku Ramen

12:30 Pm.

After wandering a bit when Summer almost got lost because she forgot that the series she watched and the one before her isn't the exact same. Morty chuckled seeing her embarrassed expression while Summer pouted being laughed at. They had to ask the local where they could find the Ichiraku Ramen shop.

"Don't make that face. You'll grow a wrinkle." Morty teases her.

"Didn't I tell you to stop teasing?" Summer said.

"Sorry can't help when you're this cute when angry." Morty said and Summer about to speak when she was able to pick a scent drawing her.

"I think we're close." Summer exclaimed, her stomach rumbling audibly as they passed by the tantalizing aromas wafting from the various food stalls. She dragged Morty and it didn't take long for them to arrive at the familiar shop.

They made their way towards the iconic ramen stand, its vibrant red lanterns swaying gently in the breeze. As they approached, the unmistakable scent of savory broth and noodles filled the air, making their mouths water in anticipation.

"Welcome, what can I get you?" A man around his late forties or mid thirties greeted them with a warm smile. The two seated at the counter, they exchanged smiles with Teuchi, the owner of Ichiraku Ramen.

"Your faces are new, where are you from?" Teuchi had seen a lot of customers in his life and would know who were new to his shop.

"Ah yes, we're just a wandering couple trying to find our way through life." Morty said with a bright smile. He noticed a black haired young woman around 17 years old dressed the same way as Teuchi.

"Really? We don't get that many visitors besides merchants and vagabonds." The young woman remarked and from his memory recalled her name was Ayame. The only reason Morty knew is because of the amount of fanfic that she was included.

The woman she saw Morty immediately blush seeing how good looking he was and first seeing something that manly and charming. She was unsure why she felt that way but she was sure jealous of Summer.

"Y-Yes, we heard that this place serves the best ramen and wanted to try it." Summer praised and Teuchi seemed to like her compliment.

"Hahaha is that so? Well, since you two are new then let me cook and see if what I make is up to that title." Teuchi with bellowing laughter became excited to see new customers satisfied.

"I like your enthusiasm. You know I'm something of a cook myself." Morty said.

"Oh, then let me know what you think of my ramen if there's something I can improve." Teuchi started to like Morty because of their shared interests.

Within minutes, steaming bowls of ramen were placed before them, each one a work of culinary art. Thin slices of tender pork floated atop a sea of rich broth, accompanied by perfectly cooked noodles and a medley of fresh vegetables.

Summer wasted no time in diving into her bowl, savoring the flavorful broth with every slurp. Morty followed suit, his chopsticks moving deftly as he enjoyed the delicious combination of textures and flavors.

"Soooo…how is it?" Teuchi asked.

"Hmmm…" Morty took a moment to think and examined the flavor thoroughly.

"I have to say it's different from what I usually had but the texture and flavor are on point. The only thing I find lacking is a bit of spice to give a bit of kick. However, I think it's just my preference and overall verdict is that there is room for improvement but not that much. The meat is tender and easily soaked in the broth that is rich in spice and flavor. While the noodles are chewy but not annoyingly, I saw that it becomes like gum and overall smooth and soft that is easy to chew."

Morty gave a long description to Teuchi who took note of it.

"Frankly, I might steal your recipe for how good it is." Morty jokingly said and Teuchi simply laughed.

"Hahaha you could try but no one can make my ramen! It has a secret formula that I cook up." Teuchi said.

"What about you girl? Any suggestions?" He turns to Summer.

"None, it's one of the best ramen I had. I've come to know what ramen truly tastes like. All I had was instant ramen." Summer said and Teuchi huffed an air.

"Hmmhm, if you ever crave ramen just come here. Don't eat those vile things." Teuchi shows his distaste for instant ramen.

"Calm dad, forgive my dad. He can be a bit childish when it comes to instant ramen." Ayame awkwardly smiled.

"I understand, I don't think I can go back to eating instant ramen when I have this." Summer said.

The couple siblings continued eating their meal while Teuchi was preparing some for the ingredients in case someone else goes to eat.

"So where did you originally come from?" Ayame asked.

"From the far west." Morty answered.

"Where exactly? In the west?" She was intrigued by their visitor.

"Far enough that it is off the map." He said without care and Summer pulled his sleeves to get his attention and lean into his ears

"Are you sure it's fine to tell her?" Summer whispered.

"It's fine, there won't be a problem and I can handle it if things go apeshit." Morty said.

"Sorry if I'm intruding and you don't need to answer me if it is too personal." Ayame immediately pulled back.

"No no it's fine. You were simply curious, that's all. It's not a big deal after all." Morty said. Ayame nodded and chatted with them a bit more.

"Excuse me…but can I eat here again?" They all heard a voice turned to see someone familiar yet different. It was a child with blonde hair wearing a simple outfit.

"Of course, you're always welcome." Teuchi said uncaring if people stop coming to his shop because of petty reasons.

"But…."

The child turned to Morty and Summer who was staring intently where the latter was taken back what she was seeing then turned to Morty and whispered.

"What the fuck!? Why is Naruto a girl? Did you mess up?" Summer exclaimed, unable to believe what she saw.

"Wait, don't tell me you're planning on grooming her into becoming part of your harem?" She can't help but feel disgusted at the thought yet at the same time excited.

"Yes." Morty plainly answered unfazed by moral implications. Logically, ethically and morally speaking it's bad but Morty is detach from it and wasn't that bothers

[ A/N: This is fiction. No children are getting harm. ]

"The fuck, that feels wrong but I feel bad if we leave her while being harassed by the village." Summer said even though it wasn't her intention but can't simply go to another universe where he is the correct gender.

"Hope you two don't mind her being here." Ayame asked them and Morty smiled.

"Of course not. I'm curious why we would mind though?" Morty pretended not to know as the father and daughter looked at each other.

"I think it's best if you don't know. Anyway, take a seat at Naruko-chan. I'll start cooking your meal." Teuchi said as she slowly approached the seat, nervous around them.

"Don't worry kid, we won't do anything. Say, I heard your name is Naruko? I think it's a great name. What's your last name?" Morty started to speak in casual manners.

"U-Uzumaki, Naruko Uzumaki." She answered, still scared.

"Ah, that's a nice name indeed. So, do you want to be my friend, Naruko?" Morty sounded like a pedophile which isn't far. He can travel at the dawn of time and be the oldest living being. Age becomes irrelevant to him.

"W-What, really!? Y-You want to be my friend?" Naruko stuttered, shocked that someone was willing to be her friend.

"Sure we are! You'll be like a little sister to me that I always wanted." Summer said with a bright smile.

"B-But people said I'm a monster…aren't you scared?" Naruko was completely different at how she or he acted when introduced in the show.

"Monster? I only see an innocent child even if you are a monster then what does that make me?" Morty lets Ayame and Teuchi hear his words, making them think there's some dark past about him.

"W-What does that mean?" Naruko was confused and Morty patted her head.

"That means we are all monsters in our own way. Any person can be a monster even how kind they may appear. Anyway, do you want to be my friend or not?" Morty said, still leaving Naruko confused but.

"Yes! I want to be your friend!" Naruko didn't want to lose the chance she had to have someone with him. Morty smiled and took something from his pocket.

"Then here is to prove our friendship. It will keep you safe when things get tough." Morty said, glancing over to certain direction and muttered.

'Fall.' In that moment the Anbu ninja that was spying on Naruko fell, losing their memory of what happened.

'Guess I'll have to kill that guy…danzo was it? Yes, a dead man walking.' Morty thought about certain events that would unfold.

'Maybe I could recruit the entire uchiha and offer them a better place to live than this. Yeah, let's ruin Black Zetsu's plan.' Morty chuckled at the thought of having the entire uchiha under his command.

'As I recalled, this place has female Itachi and Sasuke. I'll try to convince Itachi to not be stupid thinking this country is worth saving.' He doesn't mind being patriotic but Itachi decided to let himself be a tool.

'I made sure the uchiha massacre hasn't started and I'll try to help them if possible. Alright, let's seduce Mikoto and save her, causing the course of everything to change. Ah yes, all according to plan.' Morty said, taking a sip of his ramen while Naruko looked at the small bracelet that Morty handed.

"W-Why are you giving that? We just met." Naruko said.

"It's a token of our friendship. I'll be sad if you don't take it." Morty said and she took it and wore it.

"Do you like it?" He asked, seeing how she was awed at the bracelet.

"Yes! Very much! Thank you…uhm…you haven't told me your names." Naruko said.

"Ah, we can't give you our name for personal reasons but you can call me The Fool while you can call her….Justice." Morty asked Summer why he gave an alias. It's like not anyone would know who they were.

"The Fool? Justice? Strange names but okay. It's nice you Mister Fool and Miss Justice." Naruko said and both smiths nodded as they continued eating and chatting a bit where Naruko became curious about their travel with Morty given his adventure with Rick but changed it a bit. Naruko became awed upon hearing Morty's adventure and the wonderful things he had done. Soon enough, they finished their meal.

"How was everything, you two??" Teuchi approached with a smile.

"Amazing." Summer replied, her expression blissful.

"Thanks, Teuchi-san. Your ramen did not disappoint." Morty nodded in agreement.

"Well, we better go." He said and Naruko became sad.

"Will I see you again, Mister Fool?" Naruko asked.

"Yes, you have that bracelet. So long you have that means we are not far apart."

Morty said who actually gave a teleportation device where when she gets in danger would be teleported back to his world allowing her to make reason to let her in their house in the future. He can't simply bring her back and Morty has plans to make things go smoothly.

"Okay." Naruko was sad but tried her best to smile. Even though it was brief, it had a huge impact on her life.

"Remember, Naruko. Someone's opinion of you does not have to be your reality." Morty said as he knelt down to kiss her forehead. Then Summer joined in, giving Naruko a hug.

"If anyone bullies you just tell Big sis Su-I mean Justice." Summer is eager to slaughter everyone who bullied Naruko. Afterwards, they bid farewell to Naruko, Ayame and Teuchi and made their way back to their world.
