You Know Nothing About Pain

Naruto really didn't know what expression to make at this moment, as expected, Kyuubi had never let him down in terms of eating.

At this time, the oden and sake that Naruto ordered also came up. Naruto took the oden and sake, first took a bite of a steaming egg, and then mixed the mouthful of eggs and the aroma of oden, squinting his eyes to drink Take a sip of chilled sake.

"Huh——" Naruto let out a sigh of satisfaction, shook the wine glass in his hand and said to the boss with a smile: "Boss, the wine is good, and your oden is really delicious, no wonder my friend can't get enough of it."

Hearing that Naruto praised his oden is delicious, the boss smiled and said that he would give Naruto an egg for free.

Naruto smiled at the egg presented by his boss and said, "Boss, is this an ancestral handicraft?"

"Of course!" Hearing Naruto's culture, the boss responded with a proud tone with a bright smile on his face: "Our family's oden has been passed down to me for the third generation!"

"That's it, it's indeed a time-honored brand." Naruto was stunned, and while continuing to eat eggs, he chatted and said, "Will it continue to be passed down in the future?"

"It must be passed on." Anyway, there were no other customers at the moment, so the boss simply chatted with Naruto: "My son is going to be [-] this year, and I plan to let him come to the store to help after a while, so I can do it in advance." Familiarize yourself with the future work."

"Twelve...you can indeed help the store." Naruto cut off the radish in the bowl with chopsticks, then picked one of them and put it in his mouth, saying: "Then boss, you can be regarded as a successor, you can not worried."

"Ah." Who knows, after hearing Naruto's words, the boss sighed, and said sadly: "My kid has always been very resistant to inheriting the family shop, otherwise he would have been asked to help in the shop. Other people’s children started helping out in the store when they were seven or eight years old, so it’s not like him, he’s still hanging around outside when he’s a teenager.”

"Very resistant?" Naruto tilted his head and said, "Does he want to do something else?"

"Hmm..." The boss nodded, and said in a helpless tone, "I've been talking about going out all day, and I don't want to stay in a small shop for the rest of my life. It's almost driving me to death."

"It's a good thing for children to have their own dreams." Naruto swallowed the radish in his mouth, and said with a smile: "It's better to let him try it himself. It's okay to run around when you are young."

"What's the use of having a dream? Can you have enough to eat?" The boss shook his head and said, "Three generations of my family have opened and closed Dongzhu restaurant. He is the son of the owner of the Kanto cooked restaurant. Why don't you open Dongzhu restaurant in the future?"

"Not necessarily." Naruto paused for a moment, and said with a measured tone: "What if he really achieves something in the future?"

"It's useless." The boss shook his head resolutely without any hesitation, and then said in a vicissitudes of life: "I'm not that stubborn old man, I was just like him back then, thinking about going to the outside world all day long." I feel like I can’t stay in a small shop for the rest of my life.”

"What happened?" The boss said with a wry smile, "I got hit with a bloody head, and finally came back with injuries all over my body, and honestly took over the family's Oden restaurant."

Hearing what the boss said, Naruto stopped eating unconsciously, fell silent for a while, then picked up the wine bottle, filled the glass in front of him, and handed it to the boss.

The boss took the wine from Naruto, gave Naruto a grateful look, and then drank the wine in a gulp and said: "Now I finally understand what my father said back then, and I also know why my father treated me like that back then. Just like I do with my son now."

Naruto didn't speak, just continued to fill the boss.

"In this world, you can do whatever you want. If you have that life, you can do whatever you want. If you don't have that life, just live your life obediently. Don't think about those things you have or don't have."

The boss didn't drink so fast this time, he drank bit by bit and said, "What is he doing if he doesn't cook oden, is he an official? Let's not talk about how much he has studied. People who are officials need letters of recommendation from nobles. Where did he come from?" A recommendation from someone, a letter of recommendation from the owner of the oden restaurant?"

"Being a businessman? Does he have the capital, and he needs to be recommended to enter the chamber of commerce, otherwise he will do it alone, and sooner or later there will be no bones left to be swallowed by others." The boss drank the sake in the glass and said: "Let's not talk about ninjas. Does he have that talent? Does he have that condition? He couldn't even pass the selection of the ninja school."

"It's not necessarily these occupations." Naruto picked up the bottle and continued to fill it up for the boss, "Maybe he has other hobbies or things he wants to do. It's not bad to make a small living."

"You don't understand, you can't." The boss waved his hand directly and said, "Nowadays, outsiders can join any business at will. Those who sell fish have a century-old fish shop, those who sell dim sum have a century-old dim sum shop, and those who do handicrafts have a hundred-year-old craft shop." Even the fucking beggars have three generations of professional beggars, what do you use to compete with them, you have to be inferior to their professional beggars.”

"Take my oden shop as an example." The boss pointed to the steaming oden in front of him and said: "The ingredients here are all specially selected, the most suitable type of oden, the same radish, The taste is different depending on the place of production, and the stores that sell my ingredients have been related since my grandparents, even if you outsiders know my recipe, but you don’t have the corresponding ingredients, the taste is still not as good as mine.”

"With the relationship of three generations of ancestors, I can always get the best and freshest ingredients at the first time. How can outsiders compete with me?"

The boss is already a little drunk at the moment, shaking his head and saying:

"That's why it's impossible. He's lucky. Although he's not as good as those ninjas and nobles, there is still an oden restaurant that can be inherited, isn't it? Others don't even inherit the store. They can only farm the land, exposed to the wind and sun every day." Some of them planed food in the fields, and those who were even worse could only serve as servants to the nobles and wealthy families, not only as servants themselves, but also as cattle and horses for their children and grandchildren in the future!"

Naruto silently looked at the boss in front of him. Although he was just a small shop owner who could be seen everywhere on the roadside, what the other party said today, in Naruto's opinion, was more profound and deeper than what Ohnoki from Yanyin Village said. point directly to the essence of this world.

As the saying goes, seeing the truth from the subtleties, the most unusual truths are often hidden in the most common and ordinary little things.

Although the owner of the oden restaurant is far inferior to Neji in terms of knowledge and contacts, he can speak similar words to Neji.

"So this is fate, who told him to be born in my family, who told him to be my son." The owner of the Guandong cooking shop showed a strange expression that seemed to be crying and smiling, and said with a sob: "Be content, when a person is born, he is my son." The son of a nobleman is a nobleman, the son of a ninja is a ninja, the son of a sushi restaurant owner makes sushi, what does the son of an oden restaurant owner do if he doesn’t cook oden?”

The owner of the Guandong cooking shop said that he was already crying at the end. Although there were no tears on his face, he was crying from the bottom of his heart.

Naruto didn't know what he was crying for.

Maybe it was crying for the self who was full of dreams but was hit by reality.

Maybe it was crying that he lost to reality in the end, killed his youth by himself, and became the current owner of a well-regulated oden restaurant.

Maybe it was crying that he wanted to be like his own father back then, wanting to personally kill that son who still harbored dreams just like himself back then.

Alcohol is not intoxicating, people are self-intoxicating.

While talking, the boss unconsciously fell asleep on the table, leaving only the oden in the pot in front of him still gurgling and tumbling.

Naruto didn't wake up the boss, but silently picked up the wine bottle, took a sip directly to his mouth, and muttered:

"This shitty world."

Kyuubi at the side heard Naruto's murmur, raised his head with his mouth full of food, raised his head and said vaguely: "What are you talking about? What the fuck?"

"It's nothing." Naruto shook his head, took out a wad of money from his pocket, and stuffed it directly into the coat pocket of the oden shop owner without counting it.

More, even if the other party thanked him for his heartfelt words today.

"Let's go." Naruto wasn't in the mood to eat anymore, so he helped the boss turn off the stove, and said to Kyuubi, "Okay, don't eat, go back."

"Let's go back now." Kyuubi reluctantly looked at the oden in the big pot in front of him, and said to Naruto beside him, "Wait a minute."

Then Kyuubi stood up, took out the seal scrolls that Naruto had given him earlier from his bosom, and picked oden from the pot in front of him one by one.

"Eggs...beef tendon...radish..." Kyuubi counted while taking it: "Fish balls...oh yes, and seaweed...."

Naruto looked at Kyuubi, who was carefully selected in front of him, and said: "Why do you choose to be so serious, just get a copy of each item, anyway, the money I give must be enough."

"That won't work!" Kyuubi directly retorted: "Some things don't taste very good, how can I bring Haruko something that doesn't taste good, I ate more than twenty skewers of every thing I picked here, I chose it only after making sure the taste is okay! Don’t hinder me if you don’t understand!”

"Okay, okay, take your time." Naruto saw that Kyuubi had actually trained him, so he could only slap his head and said helplessly, "It's because I didn't think carefully."

In the end, Kyuubi took about ten strings of things, carefully put them into the sealing scroll, and then went back to the hotel with Naruto.

On the way back to the hotel, Kyuubi chatted with Naruto.

"Speaking of... why did the boss suddenly fall asleep just now, and I seemed to be crying when I heard him talk?"

"Hmm... I guess it's been too long since I opened the store, so I'm a little tired."

"Is that so...but his oden is really good, I want to eat it again before I leave!"

"Well... you can do whatever you want."

"Do you want to come with me?"

"...Forget it, I won't come."

"Why, you don't like to eat their Oden?"

"It's not that I don't like eating...just...forget it, it's nothing."

"What is nothing, I hate talking halfway, do you like it or not?"

"................."

"Speak quickly!"

"To shut up."

"........Oh"

The voices of Naruto and Kyuubi gradually faded away, and the small shop on the street behind them was still lit with yellowish lights, but at this time there were no customers in the shop, and only the boss was left lying on the wooden table in the narrow counter Go to sleep.

The cauldron of Kanto cooking in front of him has cooled slightly, and the ingredients in the pot are slowly floating in the soup.

Just like his life, he couldn't escape this pot anyway.In Muye Village, in a dark underground secret room, Danzo is listening to his subordinates' reports.

"Danzo-sama, the arrangements for Kakashi's seventh squad have been made, and Sai, who we arranged, has officially joined it." The man wearing a mask knelt on one knee and said, "The village should be back to normal soon." The assignment of their team."

"Hmm..." Danzo replied faintly, then stroked his bandaged right arm and said, "Is there anything else?"

"Other things..." The men kneeling below hesitated for a moment, and finally said bravely: "It seems that someone in the village is checking us recently, and several people have been knocked out, but what happened after waking up?" I don’t know, they all said that I only felt black in front of my eyes at that time, and then I didn’t know anything.”

"Don't know anything?" Danzang frowned, and directly scolded: "A bunch of trash! Let alone being attacked, they don't even know who the attacker is, it's ridiculous!"

"My lord, forgive me." The subordinate quickly lowered his head and said, "We have mobilized everyone to investigate, and we will definitely give you a satisfactory answer, Danzo-sama!"

Hearing the subordinate's reply, Danzo didn't speak, and only looked at the subordinate below coldly, and the dark room fell into silence for a while.

As the silence time went by, the ninja kneeling below felt more and more pressure on his body. Before he knew it, his back was completely soaked in cold sweat. Now he only felt the wind blowing from his back and his legs were weak .

At this moment, he felt the darkness around him attacking him little by little, as if trying to swallow him up.

Danzo saw that the fire was almost ready, raised his eyelids, looked at the trembling subordinates below, and said slowly: "I guess this time it's Tsunade and Jiraiya who did it, don't worry, I'm here, It’s impossible to turn the sky around, as long as they don’t want Konoha to split, it’s useless to find anything.”

"But this kind of thing is indispensable." Before the face of the subordinate kneeling below showed joy, Danzo suddenly changed the subject and said in a cold tone: "If this kind of thing happens again next time, you don't have to came back."

The subordinate kneeling below nodded quickly, indicating that this kind of problem would never happen again in the future.

Seeing the reaction of his subordinates, Danzo nodded in satisfaction, waved his hand and said, "Go out."

Hearing Danzo's words, his subordinates got up and left the room in a hurry as if they had received an amnesty.

After his subordinates left, the room became more and more gloomy and cold. Danzo sat alone in the dark, rubbing his right hand, and didn't know what he was thinking.

At this moment, there was a slight noise outside the door, which was extremely slight, but Danzo, as an old ninja, any abnormal sound would arouse his vigilance.

"Who!" Danzo stood up abruptly from his seat, staring at the opposite door with his exposed left eye.

However, more than ten seconds passed, and there was no response from the opposite door, as if the sound just now was just an illusion.

Danzo didn't relax his vigilance because of this. He can be sure that he heard correctly just now. Although the sound was very slight, it was obviously the sound made by a human body falling to the ground.

Could it be Tsunade and Jiraiya who called in?

Thinking of Danzo here, he couldn't help but feel a slight chill in his heart. After all, Jilai had given him a good beating back then, and the bruise on his face couldn't go away for several days, so he had to disappear for a while, otherwise if this would be given to his subordinates It was really embarrassing to see it.

Although Danzo boasted that if he really fought to the death, he would not be afraid of Ziraiya, but that was only because he held a few hole cards in his hand, and things like hole cards would be gone if he used them.

If he really surpassed the conventional strength, Zi Lai also threw him a few blocks away, and beat him if he said he would beat him, without any ambiguity.

Although Danzo said to his subordinates not to worry just now, if the other party really wanted to call him, he would still be a little scared.

In the final analysis, his biggest hole card is nothing more than the threat of death. Tsunade and Jiraiya are afraid to make a move because they are worried that the loss will be too great, but the other party is really determined to tease him. He seems to have no choice but to wait for death. Great idea.

Thinking of this, a drop of cold sweat slowly rolled down Danzo's forehead.

I don't know how long it took before I heard a tooth-piercing squeak, and the door opposite Danzo slowly opened.

Danzo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the figure of the person who appeared outside the door. Although he couldn't see his face clearly for the time being, he could be sure that it wasn't Tsunade or Jiraiya from his body shape.

Now that it was confirmed that it wasn't those two people, Danzo put up his airs, sorted out his mood, and looked at the person standing at the door with a majestic look.

"Who are you?" Danzang Shi Shiran sat back in his seat and said, "Do you know where this is? No matter why you broke in here, since you are here, don't even think about going back."
