A kid like Itachi is probably still in training or thinking about life. He doesn't even know the other kids who come to the store and they're making so much noise that it makes his head hurt.
Taste it, hmm... the taste is average, a bit too sweet.
The dough of the Mitarashi Dango was good, but the sauce was a bit weird. As for the red bean dango, it was a dough topped with red bean paste, and the texture was just okay.
The last three-color dumpling...is so sweet, so sweet that it's sickening.
Is it true that only people with a bitter heart can eat such sweet things? The inner world of the Uchiha children has been bitter since childhood.
Afterwards, Noah cordially discussed with the proprietress the method of making red bean paste dumplings and had a good exchange of ideas on how to put the fillings into the dough.
"Mr. Adam, are you a gourmet from the Rain Country?"
"No, I'm just a travel writer. I've been to many places so I know a little bit about the characteristics of other places."
After the exchange, Noah walked out and continued to the next check-in spot.
The Anbu behind him took note and left immediately. He seemed to be an ordinary person.
Even civilians who enter Konoha Village will face initial spot checks. In order to guard against spies, the Anbu has been very busy recently.
Noah's act of checking in is also to establish his own personality and pave the way for his future fame in the ninja world.
Next is Mandiantang.
A grocery store that sells small gifts or souvenirs.
There are a lot of people in this store, all of whom are new to Konoha Village.
Noah, as a commoner who came to Konoha for the first time, was no exception and went in to choose some interesting small gifts.
Interestingly, I also saw Mr. 3500 million taels when I was buying gifts here.
Chapter 20: Root Ninja
This kid is only 16 years old, how come he has a face full of beard and looks haggard? If it weren't for the obvious body hair, Noah really wouldn't have recognized him.
Well, the characteristics of the gift I bought are very clear, it is for a little girl.
Children in the ninja world are really precocious, especially when it comes to vague love.
It seems that the love in One Piece is all about youth, which is indeed touching but not as immature as that in Naruto.
In Naruto, unrequited love is really a sin. Basically, it is a group of underage children who are in love.
Forget about national idols like Sasuke, there are many like Obito and Rin.
It turns out that even the coldest professional ninjas don't care about anything when it comes to love.
In order to follow in Sasuke's footsteps, Sakura actually dared to try to become a rebel ninja. This stupid behavior is really weird.
Obito wants to destroy the ninja world for Rin, which is a reason that Rin herself, Kakashi, and the Fourth Hokage would never have imagined.
So it is understandable to see Asma buying gifts to please girls.
Perhaps Noah stared for too long, which aroused Asuma's vigilance, so the boy took the initiative to talk to this ordinary man who looked rather bookish.
Young people always want to do something, just in case they can catch a spy.
He had also been on the battlefield during the Third Ninja War, and despite everyone's obstruction, he still participated in the final work of the Battle of Mount Kikyo.
I believe I have enough qualifications to prove myself, and carrying the label of the Hokage's son is... very tiring.
However, he underestimated the man's rich communication experience and was led astray by just a few words.
"Mr. Adam, is it true that this kind of gift doesn't have any effect on girls' favorability?"
"Of course, if the girl you're courting is a female ninja, there's really not much point in giving her these little trinkets. Why not try asking her out for some gourmet food in the evening?"
Noah began to seriously deceive the somewhat immature and silly son of the Hokage.
You don't have to guess to know that this kid has already started pursuing Yuhi Kurenai. There are really no scumbags in Naruto, they are all so pure and innocent.
Therefore, Noah, who had the information about Xi Ri Hong in his hands, was invincible. Based on the description of the goddess in his heart by this little brother, he analyzed a wave of love.
Asuma was astonished by this author from the Rain Country. This author was truly amazing.
Japanese-style verses are one sentence after another, and no matter how you listen to them, they are all about the most beautiful yearning for love.
Not only did he have a deep understanding of love, he also pointed out several paths for him, and the words he said afterwards were so profound.
He is truly a cultured person.
So the two continued to communicate, and Noah left with an excuse after establishing himself as a love mentor.
Talking to the Hokage's son for too long would attract the attention of the Anbu, so I'll wait until later to talk about something more impressive.
Noah left the child his hotel address and left.
After parting with Asuma, Noah also felt that the development was very strange. The first step in Konoha's fire transmission was to be an emotional mentor.
Moreover, the son of the Hokage is very rebellious, so it would be a good idea to let him awaken first.
Anyway, the kid had always been determined to rise above his own class, and even joined the Twelve Guardian Ninjas for the sake of Jade's inexplicable concept of loyalty.
This mysterious operation really left everyone dumbfounded.
In this case, it's okay for Yu to do it for world peace. I'm really optimistic about the development of this child.
Next up was Ichiraku Ramen.
This sign is really memorable.
If Noah wasn't afraid of being too eccentric, he would have wanted to take a photo here.
As a legendary restaurant, apart from not being able to emit light, it has an unparalleled blessing in conveying the thoughts.
I don’t know how many great figures who changed the ninja world have visited here.
A bowl of tonkotsu ramen tasted good, but it was just good enough because he still preferred to eat meat.
Watching people coming and going and leaving after eating, this kind of store is very much like a work lunch.
While eating noodles, Noah saw many characters with names in the original book hurriedly finishing a bowl of noodles and leaving.
The two main skills of hand-made ramen are delicious and fast.
Noah did not disturb those who came to the store to eat noodles, including the hand-made noodles.
I finished my meal quietly and left. I already had a big fish today so I couldn’t be too greedy.
Next we walked to the door of a bookstore.
【Jiyingtang】
This is it, the largest bookstore on the commercial street.
The blue sign next to it also had the release promotion of "Genshō Ninden" written on it.
It can be seen that the owner of this store still knows the rules of how to survive in Konoha. Jiraiya's books need to be promoted vigorously regardless of whether they are good or bad.
Noah was a little surprised when he saw the novels piled up in the store. Are these books selling well? Otherwise, why are there so many of them?
"Sir, would you like to buy a copy of the Genshin Ninja Biography? There's a promotion going on in the store, buy one and get one free~~"
"The book you gave me is still the Genshin Ninja Biography, right?"
"Yes."
I see. The books simply can't be sold, so all the goods are put on sale at a half-price discount and half-given away for clearance.
"Then I'll take a look first."
"OK……"
The clerk immediately walked away dejectedly. Many people came in to buy books after seeing the promotional board at the door, but most of them gave up after reading it.
This book... really can't be sold. But the boss put a lot of effort into promoting it. I don't know why.
After opening the work, Noah understood why it couldn't be sold.
First of all, the author used a pseudonym, not Jiraiya’s real name.
Secondly, the story is very unrealistic.
The story of a boy named Naruto who strives to pursue his dreams.
The main plot is very clear. The character relies on perseverance to gain everyone's recognition. The whole story is a growth story centered on the will of fire.
But no one reads such books, and readers cannot get any value from them.
The real Naruto has the bloodline of the Uzumaki clan, has the Nine-Tails as his Jinchūriki, has Ashura's chakra, and has the Sannin as his teacher.
In the absence of these, readers don’t understand why the enemy can be defeated purely by perseverance and slogans, or by talking?
Jiraiya chose the wrong track. Intimate Paradise is his final destination.
"I bought this book."
"You, really bought it!?"
The clerk was about to burst into tears. It was really not easy. This book has been on display for a long time. Every time a copy is sold, it is a great joy.
It was agreed to be a buy one get one free deal, so the two books were packaged with the highest standards and tied up to look the best.
“Welcome to visit us next time.”
The clerk still feels unreal watching Noah leave. He also read the book, and can only say... it's a pity to waste the promotional space at the door.
At this time, a white-haired man walked in and noticed at first glance that there were two books missing from the pile.
God bless you, he comes to the bookstore almost as often as the hot spring town, just to see if there is any miracle happening.
Sure enough, he knew that gold will shine!
“Brother, the sales of Genshin Ninjutsu are pretty good…hahahahahahahaha…”
The clerk looked at the man and gave him a business smile.
"Of course, the reader just praised this book as a rare good book. Now we have a buy one get one free promotion..."
"just!"
The white-haired man immediately turned around and left. He wanted to find that tasteful reader to have a good conversation with.
As a result, as soon as he went out, he was blocked by a little girl.
"Long time no see, Jiraiya-sensei."
Chapter 21: Meeting between Senior and Junior Brothers
"teacher?"
Jiraiya was frightened by this sentence as soon as he went out. He still remembered how many disciples he had accepted.
Little girl, Rain Ninja, with paper flowers on her head.
His memory went back to the three years after the Second Ninja World War.
“Xiao Nan, you…it’s actually you, hahahahaha.”
"Well, teacher, long time no see. I am now the representative of Rain Village, and I am here to watch the succession ceremony of the Fourth Hokage."
Xiaonan smiled as happy and brightly as before.
The white-haired man in front of him was the original teacher between him and his two good friends, the one who gave them hope to survive.
Even now they are very grateful to Teacher Jiraiya.
As a man of true feelings, Jiraiya was naturally ecstatic to see his former disciple appear.
The effort he put into his three disciples from the Rain Country was no less than that put into Minato Namikaze.
He had no selfish motives when accepting disciples, and he only discovered the Rinnegan after he accepted it as a disciple.
As for teaching ninjutsu, it was indeed because of Nagato's eyes that he made the decision.
As a pure teacher, I am just happy for the beauty of reunion.
In the ninja world, being able to meet each other alive after a long time is something worth celebrating.
