Konoha: Start with the card-drawing mobile game

"It doesn't seem right to say this at this time, Minato!"

Kushina stopped drinking the salt ramen soup and hurriedly stretched out her hand to shake Namikaze Minato's arm.

She quickly stopped the topic of Namikaze Minato, as she didn't seem to want to tell her students so straightforwardly.

"Toru and Shisui, please sit here first!"

Uzumaki Kushina stretched out her hand and motioned for Uchiha Toru to sit next to her and Minato.

Although she had only been a teacher for half a day, Uzumaki Kushina still wanted to take care of her students' emotions as much as possible.

After seeing Uchiha Toru and Uchiha Shisui taking their seats one after another, Uzumaki Kushina took a deep breath and replied:

"Well, regarding the disbandment of the team, it's not your problem."

Uzumaki Kushina put the ramen bowl with some noodle soup left on the table, and then explained to Uchiha Toru:

"I'm just trying to scare you by going back to Ninja School and retaking it. I won't really go back and retake it!"

"Everyone's strength is up to par, and they all have their own characteristics."

Uzumaki Kushina clasped her hands together and said to Uchiha Toru apologetically.

"I have some temporary issues here, and I can no longer work as an instructor normally."

“There may be a new instructor assigned, or there may not be one for the time being.”

Kushina Uzumaki put her palm against the side of her face and gave an accurate answer.

"If you take the Chunin Exam, you should be able to take it normally."

"I'm sorry, I should have declared it!"

Some customers who finished their ramen have already left

Then, Uzumaki Kushina shook Namikaze Minato's coat next to her and pulled his wrist.

"Wait, Kushina."

"But it's okay, Minato will help you complete the procedures required for the Chunin Exam."

Namikaze Minato, whose wrist was held by Uzumaki Kushina, was startled for a moment, and then his mind went blank.

No matter how superb the reaction ability and combat experience are, they cannot withstand such a test.

"You say so, Minato~!"

"Mmm Good"

Feeling the vague soft touch on his hand, Namikaze Minato half pushed and half responded.

Uchiha Toru and Uchiha Shisui were confused. They were chatting normally, why did they suddenly lose their temper!

But if you think about it carefully, it's normal. They were in a dating atmosphere.

They were not sensible at all, they should be the ones who came to disturb Minato and Kushina's pleasure.

"What a long wait, two servings of signature ramen!"

Uncle Yile's voice came in time, breaking the gradually strange atmosphere.

Two small bowls of Ichiraku Ramen were placed on the bar in front of Uchiha Toru and Shisui.

‘The legendary Ichiraku Ramen! ’

Under the scent of ramen, the broken knife in his arms was getting in the way.

‘Although the sword has not been repaired, Shisui has officially been won over to my side. ’

While thinking about it, Uchiha Toru placed the broken knife wrapped in cloth upright next to the stool.

Maybe it's the angle, or maybe it's the dark night.

Under the orange light of Ichiraku Ramen, the Senju clan emblem on the handle shone an extremely attractive dark golden light.

Smelling the special aroma of the signature ramen, Toru Uchiha moved the ramen placed on the table by Uncle Ichiraku in front of him.

Even the cheapest regular ramen has plenty of ingredients.

Nori, fish slabs, bonito flakes made from dried bonito, and the special three slices of barbecued pork?

"That, Uncle Yile!"

Uchiha Toru, who had never eaten Ichiraku Ramen, didn't notice anything unusual.

However, Uchiha Shisui, who had eaten signature ramen before, found that this ordinary ramen was different.

“It doesn’t seem like what we ordered is the signature tonkotsu ramen!”

Following Uchiha Shisui's reminder, Uchiha Toru also discovered the barbecued pork that he had seen in other people's bowls before, which was exclusive to the 'Large Bowl of Pork and Miso Barbecued Pork Ramen'.

"Was it wrong?"

Uncle Ichiraku, who was taking the ramen out of the pot, stopped his work, drained the ramen in the sieve, turned around and explained:

"That's right, this is the signature ramen."

"However, three thick slices of barbecued pork are a special gift from me."

Uncle Yile, wearing a hood, showed a standard squinting smile, and he could already vaguely see the shadow of his middle age.

"How can we do this without eating more meat at this age?"

After waving his hands towards the two people behind him, Uncle Ichiraku turned around again and continued making ramen.

"Thanks."

Before Uchiha Toru was about to start, Uzumaki Kushina and Namikaze Minato seemed to have recovered from that strange state.

"Ahem."

With two coughs, the hands held by Namikaze Minato and Uzumaki Kushina loosened.

Uzumaki Kushina, whose face was slightly red, retracted her hands into her sleeves and looked around pretending to be nonchalant.

Namikaze Minato briefly took control of the situation with his powerful expression control ability.

But after realizing that it was inappropriate for him to hold hands in front of Kushina's students, but he held hands, what else could he do.

"By the way, about the Chunin Exam."

Despite the embarrassment, Namikaze Minato brought the somewhat strange atmosphere back on track.

"You have not performed enough missions. In principle, you are not allowed to take the Chunin Exam."

"However, you can apply for an exception, because your team's Yamashiro Aoba is a very experienced genin, and his number of missions has completely exceeded his limit."

Namikaze Minato looked up at the time on the clock of Ichiraku Ramen Shop and decided not to waste too much time here.

"Tomorrow at two o'clock in the afternoon, I will take over from Kushina and teach you some ninja skills. Kakashi and the others will also be there."

After biting his tongue on 'Ninja Skills', Namikaze Minato took out a note from his wallet and placed it directly at the front desk of the ramen shop.

"It's a skill that can really help you survive on the battlefield."

Hearing Minato's words, Uchiha Toru and Uchiha Shisui, who were devouring ramen, stopped together.

The two of them turned to look at Namikaze Minato in unison.

"Shisui, you can also come and observe this teaching. It may be helpful."

After Minato Namikaze accepted the change recovered by Uncle Ichiraku, he said to Uchiha Toru and Uchiha Shisui.

"Then, let's take the first step."

Uzumaki Kushina, whose cheeks were somewhat rosy, followed closely behind Namikaze Minato, seemingly preparing to leave together.

"I have a hunch." When passing by Uchiha Toru and Uchiha Shisui, Namikaze Minato said with a somewhat speculative tone, "You will become great ninjas in the future."

"It's just my sixth sense, but you can see if my guess is accurate."

After saying that, Namikaze Minato took the initiative to hold Uzumaki Kushina's hand.

After lifting the hanging curtain with the words 'Ichiraku Ramen' written on it, the two gradually disappeared from the sight of Uchiha Toru and Uchiha Shisui.

"Want to come and see it? The school should be able to deal with it using the shadow clone."

Shisui nodded and took a bite of ramen silently.

At this time, a sound of the hanging curtain being slightly pushed open came from outside.

"I'm going to bother you tonight too, the same old tonkotsu ramen."

A voice that sounded more like a middle-aged man came from the door, and Uncle Yile showed his characteristic smile when he recognized the 'regular customer'.

"Have you just returned from a mission, Kosuke?"

"Well, there was a slight accident in this C-level mission, and it's just over now."

The middle-aged Kosuke Maruhoshi took a fancy to the spot where Uzumaki Kushina was sitting.

When moving the chair, he accidentally touched Uchiha Toru's ninja sword wrapped in cloth.

"Not good intentions?!"

After seeing the familiar clan emblem on the handle of the knife, Kosuke Maruhoshi's eyes widened with an expression of disbelief.

"That's where you got it from!"
