Chapter 010 My Name Is Uzumaki

When the curtain was lifted, there were already a few customers sitting in the small noodle shop.

"Huan... is that you?"

It was a bit like the open kitchen in the previous life. The curtain was lifted and the bell rang. Shouda, who was cooking the ingredients, turned back with a smile.

But when he saw Danzo's face, his expression became a little strange.

Danzo smiled and looked at him and said, "It's been a while since I saw Shouda. The young man back then has become a greasy uncle. I hope your cooking skills have improved."

They are all old friends, and Danzo was not surprised that Shouda recognized him at the first time.

After all, his appearance now is when this body is 20 years old, and the period of his twenties was when Danzo often came to Ichiraku noodle shop.

Shouda's most profound memory of Danzo only stayed when Danzo was in his twenties.

Although Shouda was a little surprised that Danzo was still so young, Danzo was not the only one who maintained a young appearance, so he didn't care much.

"Old, you ninjas don't look old at all."

Seeing his old friend, Shouda's face was full of nostalgia. With Tsunade-hime as a "precedent", it was not difficult for Danzo to maintain his youthful appearance. Staying young

"What would you like to eat?" Shouda asked, handing the menu to Danzo.

The menu was different from the one in his memory, and Danzo couldn't recognize which one tasted the same as in his memory. Kaidō: "Just a big bowl of signature ramen."

"Okay." Shouda smiled, it was a happy thing for old customers to come back.

Looking at the customers in groups of three or two, Danzo asked with some doubt: "I heard that you have a daughter, hasn't she started to help you yet?"

Ayame should be about ten years old now. This is in the Hokage world. If she didn't go to the ninja school, Ayame, as a civilian, should help her parents take over the business after a certain age.

Speaking of his daughter, Shouda's face was filled with a happy smile. Kaidō: "She has just started to help me. She has to learn the basics of handling ingredients in the kitchen."

As he said, he shouted to the kitchen: "Ayame, come out and say hello."

"Got it."

A crisp and capable voice sounded, and a beautiful girl wrapped in a white apron came out of the kitchen. Because of handling ingredients, she inevitably had a little blood on her body.

"This is Uncle Danzo." Shouda introduced her.

Danzo's face froze, Uncle?

And Ayame looked at the young face in the noodle shop with some strangeness.

Uncle?

Even if this person looks a little mature, should he be called uncle?

Full of doubts in his heart, Ayame still stumbled and called: "Hello, Uncle Danzo."

"I..."

Danzo opened his mouth to explain something, but finally sighed, Uncle is uncle, who makes him senior.

"Slurp, slurp."

The noodles are very elastic and the soup is delicious.

Danzo ate one bowl after another. As a ninja, Danzo's body consumed a lot of food and had a big appetite.

In the small noodle shop, Hand-Dad occasionally exchanged a few words with the customers at the stall. The atmosphere was harmonious. Danzo did not join them and dealt with the ramen in the bowl seriously.

"Ring, ring, ring."

The sound of the curtain being lifted.

"It's Naruto." Hand-Dad saw the person coming and looked at Danzo who was eating noodles silently with a stiff face. He raised his smile and greeted Naruto.

Silence.

The customers who were still laughing at the stall suddenly quieted down. After looking back at the pitiful figure standing at the door, they turned cold and hurriedly paid the bill and left.

In the noisy noodle shop, only Danzo was left, and Naruto, who was standing behind him and was a little at a loss.

"Hand... Uncle Hand-Dad, have I caused you trouble again?" Naruto's childish voice was crying. He never shed tears when he was bullied by others.

But the uncle was very kind to him, but he made him lose business, which made Naruto very concerned.

But he was really hungry.

"No, no, how could it be, what are you going to eat today, little Naruto?" A trace of heartache flashed across the face of the hand, and he quickly asked Naruto to sit down.

Others don't know Naruto's identity, but how could Shouda, who has been stationed in Konoha Village for many years and has a wide network of contacts, not know it.

But the more he knows, the more he feels pity for Naruto.

Naruto carefully glanced at Danzo who was still at the stall, walked away from him and came to the other side of the noodle shop.

"I picked up an Ichiraku ramen cash coupon at the door today!"

Naruto excitedly came to his seat and sat down, holding a note in his little arm.

Shouda silently took the note from Naruto's hand and said with a smile: "Okay, this cash coupon can buy three bowls of ramen. Today is the first bowl. I'll write down the remaining two bowls for you."

"Ayame, Naruto is here!" Shouda shouted to the back of the noodle shop, where his daughter had been processing ingredients.

"Why are you here just now!" Ayame shouted dissatisfiedly as she walked out of the back kitchen.

Did the little guy finally notice the cash coupon she threw at the door?

In order to let this guy eat and take care of his self-esteem, Ayame thought for a long time before she came up with the cash voucher method.

No more customers came into the noodle shop, and it was quiet.

Hand-beater also took a break at this time, moved a stool and sat down next to Naruto, listening to him tell his interesting stories.

The two listened to Naruto's words very carefully, but it can be heard that all the interesting stories in Naruto's mouth are only about him.

Danzo didn't speak, lowered his head to eat noodles, and paid attention to Naruto's words.

His face was calm, but there was a little sigh in his heart.

This incident was deeply engraved in the memory left by the pot king. Danzo knew the reason for Naruto's current situation.

Although Naruto was chatting with Hand-beater, his eyes looked at Danzo from time to time.

This uncle didn't seem to have that kind of malice.

Naruto thought to himself, and couldn't help but look at Danzo again.

Noticing Naruto's gaze, Danzo raised his head and met his azure blue eyes.

Clear and pure.

Naruto was like a frightened deer when Danzo looked at him like this, and turned his head back to pretend that he was not peeking.

Ayame also noticed that the man she called uncle before did not stay away because of Naruto's identity.

She couldn't help but look at Danzo curiously.

Seeing Danzo staring at Naruto expressionlessly, Shouda smiled awkwardly and came to Danzo, blocking his gaze from Naruto, and said: "Old friend, after eating the noodles, shouldn't you pay the bill?"

He was a little worried that Danzo had bad thoughts about Naruto like those people outside.

This old friend was already a Jōnin when he was young, and his current identity should not be simple.

Naruto has a bad reputation in the village, but he is really a good kid.

Is he going to drive him away?

Danzo looked at Shouda's embarrassed look, frowned, and couldn't help sighing again in his heart.

After he came to this world, he did not take the blame for Sarutobi Hiruzen, but he could not get rid of the sins that the Pot King had committed before.

Strictly speaking, he and Naruto actually had a grudge.

But Danzo still decided to contact Naruto.

Standing up, regardless of the hand that wanted to stop him, Danzo walked step by step to Naruto, looking at the son of a hero who suffered because of the Pot King.

Naruto was obviously a little nervous about Danzo's gaze and approach, and waved his hand: "Yes... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to look at you."

Naruto's nervous and timid performance obviously made Danzo frown, stretched out his hand to touch his golden hair, and said gently: "Don't be nervous."

"Your name is Uzumaki Naruto, right?"

And Naruto's body, which was originally a little scared, suddenly froze, and he looked at Danzo in a daze.

The temperature from the hair and the smile on the face of the man in front of him made him feel an inexplicable warmth, which made him want to get closer to Danzo.

"Yes! My name is Uzumaki Naruto!"
