Chapter 17 Little Sannin’S Suspicion

The Chiba ramen shop reopened after the war.

However, the business after reopening was not as ideal as Tetsuya imagined.

"Ah, sure enough, war will only bring pain, There are no winners in war."

Looking at the few customers left in the store, Tetsuya sighed.

Although Konoha won World War II and under the leadership of Tobirama, fleeced a large amount of benefits from kumogakure at the negotiation table. The ninjas who died in Konoha will never come back.

Due to the war, Konoha lost a large number of elite ninjas, and now the remaining ninjas in the village can barely maintain normal operations of the village.

It is predicted that kumogakure's side faces worse problems. In addition to the war with Konoha, Golden Horn and Silver Horn also led people to start a civil war.

In this Ninja World War, no Ninja Village took advantage.

Four of the Second Generation shadows from the five villages died, and the only one who survived was saved by yours truly.

"Boss! You've finally opened for business. I really miss your ramen. Come on, come on, i want one bowl of your signature tonkotsu ramen!"

Hearing the sound before anyone saw it, Jiraiya's careless voice shouted from outside the store.

"It's Jiraiya, long time no see."

"Boss, long time no see."

"Long time no see, boss."

Tsunade and Orochimaru walked in behind Jiraiya.

"I haven't seen you two for a long time. What would you like to order?"

Tetsuya asked with a smile.

"I want assorted ramen, bring me some flame chow mein."

"Okay, wait a minute, you three."

Jiraiya and others found a place to sit down.

Orochimaru's eyes were always focused on Tetsuya's direction.

"What's wrong Orochimaru, why do you keep looking at Boss Chiba?"

Jiraiya watched as Orochimaru kept observing Tetsuya, and couldn't help but be curious why he keeps staring.

Orochimaru shook his head.

"It's nothing. Maybe it's because I haven't seen Boss Chiba for a long time. I always feel that Boss Chiba's temperament has changed."

"Hey? Is there any? Why do i feel like Boss Chiba hasn't changed much?"

Jiraiya scratched his head and immediately stood up and looked in the direction of the kitchen.

"Idiot Jiraiya, why are you speaking so loudly?"

Seeing Jiraiya making so much noise, Tsunade couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

Truthfully, she also felt it. Although Tetsuya's smile was still the same as before, for a moment, when he looked at others, his eyes obviously changed.

Although there are only some subtle changes, they are all ninjas, and they are naturally more sensitive to such subtle changes.

"I'm curious, but I really don't see any changes. Could it be that you haven't seen the boss for a long time, so you feel different?"

Jiraiya sat down a little aggrieved, why didn't he see anything different about Boss Chiba?

"The feeling just now lasted only for a moment. If I was the only one who felt this way, it might be an illusion, but since Tsunade also saw it, it is unlikely to be an illusion."

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade, as if seeking confirmation.

And Tsunade nodded.

"It's not an illusion. I think Boss Chiba's eyes have become much colder when he looks at people."

"You're right. Although Boss Chiba doesn't seem to have changed much, he always gives me a, how should I put it, a very malevolent feeling."

Orochimaru thought for a moment and explained.

"The last time I felt like this was at an Anbu ninja under the Second Generation."

"What are you two talking about? Boss Chiba is just a ramen shop owner."

Jiraiya was a little confused about his two companions, what the hell are they talking about.

His eyes were cold and evil-spirited.

Could it be that the true identity of Boss Chiba is a murderous and powerful ninja?

That's impossible. Boss Chiba's Chakra level and quality is too low.

"You three, your Noodles are ready."

Tetsuya walked out of the kitchen carrying three bowls of different flavored ramen on a tray.

Tsunade immediately gave Orochimaru a wink. Orochimaru knew that Tsunade hinted him to test Tetsuya.

Tetsuya put three bowls of ramen on the table.

"You three, please eat it slowly."

Orochimaru picked up the chopsticks and said casually.

"Boss, did something happen at home? When I came in just now, you seemed a little gloomy."

"My home?"

Tetsuya was confused for a moment, and then remembered just now.

"Hi, there's nothing wrong with my family. It's just that the store reopened today and business is declining, so I'm a little worried."

"That is true."

Orochimaru said with a smile.

"This boss you don't have to worry too much. You have just opened your business today and no one probably realises yet.

After all, you have your craftsmanship has a stellar reputation. As long as you stay open for two more days, people in the village will naturally know find out. They will then, come to eat at your place. "

"Haha, I appreciate your good sentiments, but I'm afraid it will be a little difficult to return to the previous level."

"Why do you say that?"

Seeing Orochimaru ask this, Tetsuya simply sat down and said.

"My shop used to do well. The most important reason is that the ninjas in the village love to come here. After all, although the price of my ramen is not high, it is not something that ordinary families can afford to consume on a regular basis. Only ninjas can afford it." Wealth always follows strength.

But..."

As he spoke, Tetsuya sighed and looked at the pedestrians passing by in twos and threes outside the door.

"The war has taken away too many lives."

Hearing this sentence, Orochimaru was also deeply touched.

"Yes, life is really too fragile."

Tsunade on the side retorted.

"Although numerous people have been sacrificed, everyone's sacrifices are meaningful. It is precisely because of everyone's sacrifice that peace has been brought to us!"

Hearing Tsunade's words, Tetsuya narrowed his eyes slightly and said in approval.

"Tsunade is right. Although life is fragile, everyone who sacrificed used their blood, sweat and tears to bloom a bright flower called peace.

Therefore, we must cherish this hard-won peace. "

"What are you talking about? Are you still not eating? If you don't eat the noodles, it will become lumpy."

Jiraiya shoveled noodles into his mouth, clearly not paying attention to what they were discussing about just now.

After the three of them had eaten, they left the ramen shop. After they were far away, Tsunade questioned.

"Orochimaru, how do you feel? Is there anything off with Boss Chiba?"

Orochimaru shook his head.

"I don't know, there doesn't seem to be any problem. Maybe it's just that the war took away too many lives, which made Boss Chiba a little depressed. After all, many ninjas were loyal customers of Boss Chiba.

Realising that he would never see those old customers who praised his craftsmanship again, there must be something wrong with Boss Chiba's state of mind. "

Tsunade also nodded.

"I think you are right. Boss Chiba is a peace-loving person. Maybe we are worrying too much."

"Oh, what are you two thinking about?"

Jiraiya picked his nose nonchalantly and said.

"Next time, why don't we bring Mr. Sarutobi to eat noodles with us? Mr. Sarutobi can tell at a glance whether Boss Chiba has any problems."

Hearing what Jiraiya said, Orochimaru and Tsunade were stunned for a moment.

"Okay, Jiraiya, when did you grow a brain?"
