My experience at Konoha Liver

"Well, what should I do now?"

Naruto stood at the gate of Konoha Guest House with his head dizzy, and the red-haired Uzumaki Koso followed behind him with his head lowered.

After Kakashi revealed that Naruto's mother also had red hair, Xiang Ling, who had realized that he was inexplicably dissatisfied because of the absurdity he felt, greatly accelerated the progress of the recognition with a ten thousand points of cooperation.

As a result, Xianglan could leave the guest house as Naruto's relative and move freely within Konoha.

Naruto actually couldn't accept this result.

Because he had no relatives since he was a child, he imagined his relatives too wonderfully. Xiang Phosphorus's completely visible utilitarian mentality was too far from the relatives he imagined.

but--

Naruto felt a little better when he looked at Koro with an expression of shock and joy as he faced the bustling streets of Konoha after walking out of the guest house.

'Anyway, at least she seems happy now, so her hard work is not in vain.'

and--

Naruto looked at Xiang Lian's smiling face and tried to imagine a more mature look in his mind.

'When mommy smiles, does it look like this too?'

Xiang Ling could feel Naruto's eyes on her, and she suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

As a non-villager, she was born in Kusakunin and lived in a hostile environment since she was a child.

In this case, being noticed often means being hurt.

However, she also knew that the rare freedom she had now was all because of her possible kinship with Naruto.

So I tried hard to control my discomfort and tried to show a flattering smile.

Naruto immediately turned his head.

At this time, Tsuruma Nobu and Kakashi walked far away without knowing it, leaving him and Karin behind.

So he took the opportunity and said:

"You smiled so hard just now."

Xiang Ling was stunned for a moment and looked at Naruto in a panic, as if he was afraid of being accused or punished.

Seeing this, Naruto quickly added.

"What I mean is, if you don't want to laugh, you don't have to laugh."

"When you force yourself to smile in order to please others, it's very tiring and ugly."

"But don't get me wrong, you look really good when you smile."

Xiang Phosphorus fell into silence.

Because whether she observed Naruto with her eyes or sensed Naruto's chakra with Kagura's Heart Eye, she got the same answer.

What Naruto said was true from the bottom of his heart.

Her expression began to become subtle, and her body, which had been deliberately curled up and looked very weak and pitiful, became slightly more natural.

She no longer deliberately kept half a step behind Naruto, but walked at her normal pace.

Compared with just now, she began to look less 'weak and harmless', and even a little aggressive.

But Naruto breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:

"It feels much more normal this way."

Xiang Ling glanced at him and said angrily:

"You're such a strange guy."

"Konoha is also a strange place."

"but--"

Xiang Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, and Kagura's inner eyes passively sensed the emotions and states of the people around him.

Relaxed, calm, lazy, full of noisy sounds and full of energy.

It is completely different from the coldness that feels like a cloudy day entangled in the bones in the Land of Grass!

"That's great!"

Naruto laughed, held his head and said:

"There's still a long way to go. I'll show you the real good places in Konoha!"

There was a trace of curiosity on Xiang Lian's face, obviously interested in the 'real good place' in Naruto's words.

Seeing this, Naruto suddenly thought of something, and excitedly waved to Tsuruma Shin and Kakashi in front of him.

"Xin, Mr. Kakashi, I want to invite Xianglan to eat at the best place in Konoha."

"You two come too!"

Tsuruma Nobu and Kakashi who were walking in front stopped and turned around to look at Naruto.

When He Jianxin heard the treat, he roughly guessed what Naruto was talking about.

But Kakashi showed a puzzled expression.

"It would cost a lot to treat you to a meal like this."

"Naruto, do you have enough money?"

Naruto patted his chest and said confidently:

"Of course that's enough. I've always had the habit of saving."

Seeing how confident he was, Xiang Ling became more and more expectant, and Kakashi nodded in agreement.

After all, in his impression, the best place in Konoha was very expensive to eat, and even the Jonin would feel sick.

If you can get a free meal, you definitely can’t miss it.

And looking at the yellow hair and red hair dangling in front of him, he also felt a little nostalgic for the past.

In this way, a group of people, led by Naruto who held his head high and his chest high, passed through half of Konoha and came to——

Ichiraku Ramen!

"Naruto, this is what you said, the real good place of Konoha?"

Kaoru and Kakashi raised their heads at the same time, looking at the simple appearance of Ichiraku Ramen Shop, and asked Naruto with a sidelong glance.

Naruto nodded without hesitation, then swaggered into the ramen shop and ordered ten bowls of ramen in one go.

After the first bowl came out, he gave a special warning.

"If it's not enough, you can keep shouting!"

Let Hou Bang Bang Bang finish six bowls.

Under his guidance, Xiang Phosphorus couldn't help but take a bite, wanting to see if it was really that delicious.

After taking the first bite, Xiang Lian glanced at Naruto and complained in a low voice:

"What, it's just normal ramen."

"Although the taste is indeed okay, it's not so exaggerated."

Hearing this, He Jianxin raised his head slightly and said in a low voice:

"Probably because Naruto has lived alone since he was a child, and the ramen here is the most delicious thing he has ever eaten."

"Moreover, only here can he have someone to talk to while eating like ordinary people at home."

Xianglan turned his head and glanced at Naruto, stopped talking, and ate ramen in silence.

After Naruto finished eating, he looked at Xianglan quietly and saw a happy smile on her face after she finished the ramen.

For him, inviting Kosu, Tsuruma Nobu, and Kakashi to eat Ichiraku Ramen was not just a treat.

It's more about sharing food.

From an anthropological perspective, sharing food is a sign of intimacy and the most primitive and effective way to identify distance between people.

For Naruto, Xianglan is willing to eat Ichiraku Ramen together.

Even if there is evidence in the future that the two of them are not related at all, he will regard Xiang Phosphorus as his relative.

After Xiang Lian and the others finished eating, Naruto suddenly stood up and said with a bright smile:

"It's decided, I will practice twice as much this afternoon!"

"Otherwise, it would be too embarrassing if we lose in front of Koso during the Chuunin Exam!"
