Whoosh! In the middle of the night, a vortex suddenly appeared above the dark streets of Konoha. Along with the vortex, Lin Yu appeared. He was wearing a black robe that blended into the night. Under the hood, there was a brand new orange mask with black stripes on it.
In the two holes of the mask, his Sharingan shone in the dark.
"Finally, I'm here …"
Looking at the words "Ichiraku Ramen" in front of him, Lin Yu sighed.
He opened the curtains and walked in.
"Welcome!"
Behind the counter and the dining table, Boss Ichiraku, dressed in a chef's outfit, greeted him warmly.
At this time, Uncle Ichiraku was in his prime, without the wrinkles of age on his face. Beside him, his daughter, Chang Pu, was sleeping soundly in her stroller.
"A big bowl of pork bones soup …"
Lin Yu sat down at the rightmost seat of the three seats in front of the table.
This time, he came alone, not with Hoodlum. He was afraid that Hoodlum would chatter about poop during the meal, which would affect his appetite.
Ichiraku poured the pork bone soup into the bowl, scooped up the noodles with a slotted spoon, and added chopped green onions, red ginger, etc., to blend the color and aroma into the bowl, and brought it to Lin Yu.
"Guest, your pork bones soup."
"Oh."
The aroma assailed his nostrils, stimulating his taste buds. Lin Yu couldn't wait. He opened his chopsticks, took off his mask, put it aside, and lowered his head to eat.
Slurp!
The noodles entered his mouth, the tendons were smooth, and the soup was rich and mellow.
It was too delicious, ten times better than the best ramen Lin Yu had ever eaten. Once he started eating, he couldn't stop!
While Lin Yu was tasting the noodles with relish, two ninjas opened the curtain and walked into the noodle shop side by side. Coincidentally, it was Mike Guy and … Kakashi!
Guy was wearing his signature green tights, and Kakashi's left eye was covered with a black patch, but what was hidden under it was no longer the Sharingan, but an empty eye socket …
"Boss, two big bowls of spicy barbecued pork." Maito Guy blinked his big eyes under his thick eyebrows, and his teeth sparkled. He raised two fingers to Boss Yile and sat down on the left side.
Kakashi sat in the middle seat unhurriedly and inadvertently turned his head. When he saw the side of Lin Yu's face covered by his long hair, he was slightly absent-minded …
"Hi, here's your Tastebun Pork Belly." Only when Uncle Yile carried the two bowls of noodles to them did Kakashi withdraw his gaze.
"I say, Kakashi, so far our competition has been 20 wins and 20 losses. The content of this competition is to see who can finish the ramen in front of him faster!" Guy said energetically as always.
"Sorry, I'm really not in the mood right now …" Kakashi said listlessly. He opened his chopsticks, pulled down his mask, and ate casually.
Kai looked at Kakashi with a complicated expression.
Half a year ago, Kakashi lost Rin and his Sharingan and was rescued back to Konoha. He suffered extremely serious physical and mental trauma. He stayed in Konoha's sanatorium until he was officially discharged a month ago. He has been in this negative state since then.
Guy retracted his gaze, opened his chopsticks, and wolfed down the noodles. In less than a minute, he finished the noodles and drank the soup. He put down the bowl, wiped the soup from the corner of his mouth, and solemnly looked at Kakashi.
"Kakashi, as your rival and best friend, I can understand how you feel. I've been through the same period you've been through (the incident with my father, Maito Dai). It would be a blasphemy to the deceased to not be able to recover from a setback. I want to entrust you with not only Obito's eyes, but also his will. If he were still alive, he wouldn't want to see you like this."
Kakashi's chopsticks paused as he said: "What you said, I understand, but I can't let it go. I didn't protect Rin, so I don't deserve that eye. I think this must be Obito's punishment for me, so he took it back. He must hate me to the core …"
Guy frowned: "Kakashi, aren't you a bit too stubborn …"
"Maybe, but I have decided to join Root." Kakashi's words were shocking.
Bang! Guy suddenly got up and said in disbelief: "Root!? Kakashi, are you serious?! "
Seeing his boss's gaze, Guy realized that he lost his composure. After apologizing, he sat down and whispered to Kakashi: "Is this Yondaime-sama's idea?"
Kakashi said: "No, it's my own idea. Half a month ago, Root's headquarters was attacked by mysterious ninjas, and several members died. Danzo exaggerated this matter and reported the Land of Fire, saying that Yondaime-sama deliberately let the enemy in to shake Konoha's foundation."
Guy frowned: "Will the Daimyo believe this nonsense?"
Kakashi said: "If it was before, I'm afraid not. But a month ago, Hosuke directly under Yondaime-sama tried to assassinate the Daimyo, which made the Daimyo suspicious. Coupled with this incident, the situation is quite unfavorable for Yondaime-sama."
"Hosuke … Although his strength is good, he doesn't seem to have the courage to do such a thing. Could it be Root's doing?"
"The Anbu also had this speculation, so they sent people to hunt down Hosuke to find out the truth. But just before night, the dispatched Anbu was killed, and it was the leader of the Anbu team! This made the credibility of Yondaime-sama suffer another blow, and the Sandaime-Sama came forward and vouched for Yondaime-sama. But Root's condition was to put the Kyuubi's Jinchuriki under his supervision, and the Daimyo agreed … "
Guy hit the nail on the head: "Jinchuriki, could it be that Danzo wants to …"
Kakashi said in a deep voice: "Yes, Danzo has been coveting the position of Hokage for a long time. He must want to control the Kyuubi in his hands and shake Yondaime-sama's position. Things have reached this point, and even the Anbu can't intervene. The only thing I can do is to join Root and do my best to protect Kushina so that Yondaime-sama won't have to worry about the future …"
Guy was worried: "But Kakashi, you know what kind of person Danzo is, you might lose your life!"
Kakashi said decisively: "It doesn't matter, I couldn't protect Obito, I couldn't protect Rin. People like me don't deserve to die. At least, I have to share some of the pressure of Sensei …"
On the other side, Lin Yu finished his noodles, paid the money, put the mask on his face, got up, and walked out.
On the street, Lin Yu looked at the moon covered by dark clouds. Although he didn't plan to capture the Kyuubi right now, if the Kyuubi fell into Danzo's hands, it would add a lot of disadvantages in the future. In the script I want to realize, Naruto is no longer the protagonist. At least, I want to give him a carefree childhood, and I can't repeat the same mistake. Kushina will be the last Kyuubi Jinchuriki in the history of ninja …
On the street, an ominous wind blew. Lin Yu turned his head and looked at the darkness of the village.
"Danzo, let's go and meet him …"
