Since the establishment of the Shinobi World, the five major ninja clans have been fighting with each other for a long time, and there were even several large-scale wars that affected the entire world.
In fact, it's not only the history of the Shinobi World, but also the history of the Shinobi World. Since the birth of the Shinobi system, ninjas were still distributed in different clans, the war between them has never stopped.
The long history of the Shinobi World War entered a new chapter after the Fourth Shinobi World War.
The entire Shinobi World finally ushered in an unprecedented peace, and all ninjas can begin to understand each other.
The most important reason for all of this is not only the efforts of the ninjas, but also the heroes who emerged in the war.
From a certain point of view, the people who caused the war also promoted the peace today.
After all, most of human history was filled with battles, not just ninjas.
Only after experiencing the war can you understand the preciousness of peace. This is human nature.
But in any case, peace will eventually come.
And after this war, the name that shook the Shinobi World decades ago became an unprecedented legend in the history of the Shinobi World, surpassing all his predecessors.
He is the current Wood Leaf's Fourth Naruto, Minato Watergate.
However, for Watergate himself, this so-called reputation is not important, what he really cares about is maintaining the hard-won peace and being able to stay with the people he cherishes forever.
The rings of history never stop.
Three years after the end of the Fourth Shinobi World War, the 66th year of Wood Leaf.
— —
Wood Leaf's Main Gate.
A blonde man in a white haired robe was waiting quietly at the gate with several attendants.
At a certain moment, Watergate slowly raised his head, and in front of him, there was a group of people walking slowly.
Standing in the middle of several people was a woman with an enchanting figure, brown curly hair hanging down to her waist, and a bamboo hat with the word "Water" written on it.
The Fifth Mizukage of the Mist, Empress Shōmei!
When she saw Watergate's group waiting at the gate, Empress Shōmei quickened her pace.
Soon after, Wood Leaf and several people from the Mist officially met in front of Wood Leaf's gate.
"Mizukage-sama." Minato was still humble and courteous, he chuckled.
Empress Shōmei replied with a faint smile, "Naruto -sama, didn't we already agree on this? There's no need to be so courteous. "
Minato smiled and shrugged his shoulders. He raised his arm and said: "In that case, everyone from the Mist Village, please."
"Alright!" Empress Shōmei and the Mist Ninjas behind her nodded and followed Watergate and the others into the Wood Leaf.
The former walked a few steps faster and walked side by side with Watergate, who was in front of Wood Leaf and the others.
She raised her beautiful emerald-like eyes and stared at the silhouette and bustling crowd of people in front of her, as well as the lively sounds that followed, and her red lips curled up slightly.
"Wood Leaf is getting more and more lively." Empress Shōmei sighed.
"Yes, since then, there have been many civilians and ninjas from other countries coming to the village."
Watergate smiled. After the Fourth Shinobi World War, the nationality division between the five major countries was not as strict as before. Even civilians from other countries can live in other villages after some procedures.
After all, Wood Leaf is the most powerful village among the five major countries. However, only a few civilians from other countries moved to the village. Most of them are just traveling to the village.
Of course, in the process of traveling, if they can meet the heroes of other countries who gradually became famous after the last war, it can be considered as a gain.
Not only Watergate, but also Naruto, Sasuke, and several members of the Uchiha Clan. Today's Wood Leaf is undoubtedly the most prosperous village in history.
Empress Shōmei looked at Watergate and whispered, "Shinna Kushina -san, how are Naruto and Qianyou recently?"
The Mist Village is the first of the other four major countries to ally with Wood Leaf, so the trade chain between the two countries is also the first to be established.
As the Mizukage, she came here with the Mist delegation to discuss some security matters that need ninjas to be responsible for.
Of course, in addition to that, there are some selfish reasons.
She likes the atmosphere of Watergate's family very much. She also gets along well with Shinna Kushina and Naruto and Qianyou. She has long regarded each other as family.
"Ah, everyone is very good." Watergate responded.
When they walked into Wood Leaf's street, many people immediately looked at them. In this regard, Empress Shōmei and Watergate both responded with a gentle smile.
Watergate slightly glanced at the Mist delegation, there was a gray-haired youth with a white bandage wrapped around his weapon. He had a delicate appearance and wore a pair of black glasses. He didn't look like a ninja at all.
His name is Chōjuro. Although he is young, he has already become one of the Seven Legendary Swordsmen of the Mist Village. In the previous war, he also made a lot of contributions.
Empress Shōmei intends to train him as the candidate of the Sixth Mizukage.
Chōjuro looked around curiously, but he seemed to have entered a strange environment. He looked a little shy.
"That child should be coming to another village for the first time." Watergate glanced at Chōjuro and then said to Empress Shōmei.
Empress Shōmei looked back at Chōjuro and said: "Yes."
She turned her gaze back to Minato and curled her lips. "Come to think of it, you haven't changed at all after so many years."
"Maybe."
Watergate shrugged. Because his body has been transformed by Nine-Tailed Chakra, his aging is very slow. Now he looks no different from his twenties.
But Empress Shōmei looks older than a few years ago.
In order to change the topic, Watergate said: "Let the child walk around Wood Leaf's street. Anyway, there is no need for the guards to participate."
"Good."
Empress Shōmei didn't have any opinion. She turned her head and said to the gray-haired youth behind her: "Chōjuro, you can walk around Wood Leaf's street."
"Mizukage-sama, I can't leave your side. This is my task." Chōjuro frowned and shook his head.
"Don't worry, I'm not old enough to need someone to protect me."
Empress Shōmei was very gentle to him and said: "What's more, who dares to attack me here?"
Chōjuro still looked a little hesitant.
At this time, Watergate also turned his head and said: "Well, Chōjuro, Mizukage-sama asked you to walk around Wood Leaf's street. This is also your task. As a ninja, it's important to resolutely carry out the task."
"That … Okay." Chōjuro nodded.
Watergate looked at a young man in Wood Leaf's entourage behind him and said: "Shikamaru, take him around."
Shikamaru, as the core member of Wood Leaf's new generation of ninjas, inherited the mind of his father Shihisa, not only has he become a Jonin, but he also has an important position in the village.
"Yes."
Shikamaru nodded, then looked at Chōjuro and said with a smile: "Come with me."
"Ok."
Chōjuro nodded, and then after saying goodbye to Empress Shōmei and Watergate, he was taken to the most lively part of the village by Shikamaru.
...
Today, the most lively place in Wood Leaf's street is Ichiraku Ramen, after the renovation, the shop has expanded a lot.
In the ramen shop, a large number of people gathered. As one of the most unique shops in Konoha, in order to celebrate the renovation of the shop, Ichiraku also held a competition on the opening day of the shop.
After hearing the news, people who are loyal fans of Ichiraku Ramen naturally gathered here early.
Of course, Naruto is no exception.
"Everyone, today is the re-opening day of Ichiraku Ramen. Thank you for your long-term support. We are holding a big appetite competition today. Whoever can eat the most bowls of classic ramen will get a year's Ichiraku Ramen limited coupon."
Behind the workbench, Ichiraku introduced today's event.
On the nearest table to his right, Naruto showed an eager expression.
Shizuki and Hinata sat on his left and right sides, respectively. Opposite him, Sakura and Sasuke sat in a row across Choji in the middle.
"Today, I must win!" Naruto was eager to try and was full of enthusiasm.
"Onii-san, come on!"
"Naruto -kun, work hard!"
Shizuki and Hinata cheered for Naruto.
"Don't worry, I will win."
Naruto suddenly became energetic and patted his chest.
"Big idiot." Sasuke held his cheeks with a reluctant expression.
He naturally wouldn't participate in this kind of competition out of boredom, but he was dragged here by Naruto and his sister.
Sakura glanced at Choji next to her, then looked at Naruto and said, "Naruto, with this guy here, I don't think you have much hope of winning."
"When it comes to eating ramen, I won't lose to anyone!" Naruto slammed the table and stared at Choji.
For today's competition, Choji didn't have snacks in his hand, but in the face of Naruto's challenge, he looked very indifferent and just smiled.
In front of them, there was a number plate that represented the order of the competition.
At this time, several newly recruited staff members also put ramen in front of Naruto and the other contestants.
"Pa!"
Naruto held the chopsticks with both thumbs, put his palms together, and murmured, "I'm ready to start."
Then, he looked at Choji opposite him. When the latter saw the delicious food, he showed an enthusiasm that was rarely seen in the past.
Seeing that all the contestants were ready, the boss smiled and said, "Let's go.
"Then, now, I announce the official start of the Big Stomach Competition!"
As soon as his voice fell, the entire Yiraku Ramen Shop fell silent, and then there was only the crisp sound of chopsticks hitting bowls.
Naruto and Choji picked up the ramen in front of them almost at the same time, almost burying their faces in it.
The two of them sucked the noodles into their mouths and swallowed them without chewing.
"Please give me another bowl."
Only a few seconds later, Naruto raised the bowl in his hand and shouted. Even the soup had been emptied.
"So fast!"
Choji opposite him couldn't help but be shocked. He didn't expect Naruto to eat so fast.
Similarly, the other contestants and onlookers in the shop were shocked.
Even Sasuke couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Naruto looked at Choji and smiled proudly.
When it came to eating ramen, he was confident that he wouldn't lose to anyone!
The staff members also paused for a moment, then brought Naruto a bowl full of ramen and placed it in front of him.
Naruto took the ramen and continued to eat.
At this time, Choji also finished his first bowl of ramen and raised the bowl in his hand.
"Please give me another bowl of ramen."
"Please get me a bowl too."
"Me too!"
...
In the shop, the noodle competition was in full swing. However, the commotion that was happening here had attracted more and more people to watch.
Even though the store had been refurbished, it still couldn't accommodate so many people.
Therefore, there was still a large crowd gathered at the entrance.
Almost everyone's eyes were gathered on Naruto's table because he and Choji's progress was too fast.
Gradually, some contestants couldn't hold on after three or four bowls of ramen.
The amount of Yile Ramen was indescribable. For ordinary people, it wasn't easy to eat so much.
While raising his hand to withdraw, the man also glanced at the table where Naruto and Choji were sitting, and his eyes widened.
He couldn't hold on after four bowls, but in front of the two, there were already seven bowls.
Naruto and Choji were still wolfing down the ramen. At this time, the people around them didn't disturb them.
"Another bowl."
After finishing the ninth bowl, even Naruto burped, looking very tired.
On the other hand, although Choji's progress was slower than his, he still looked fine.
At this time, there were only two contestants left in the shop.
He glanced at Choji's belly, then looked at his own belly, which was bloated because of eating too much ramen, and smiled bitterly.
However, after looking at the eyes of Sasuke, Asami, and Hinata, he still pretended to be calm. At this time, the tenth bowl of ramen was placed in front of him.
Naruto swallowed his saliva, suppressed the ramen in his stomach, and continued to eat.
...
"Please give me another bowl."
After eating 12 bowls, Ding Yi burped and said, "Don't worry.
In front of him, Naruto, who was also eating his twelfth bowl, heard this and quickly put down the chopsticks in his hand. He hurriedly covered his mouth, suppressing the noodles that were about to spurt out.
"Onii-san."
"Naruto -kun."
Asami and Hinata were very worried and reached out to pat him on the back.
"Don't touch me at this time."
Naruto, who was covering his mouth, said. At this time, if anyone touches him a little, the ramen in his mouth will spurt out.
"I think you can't do it anymore."
Sasuke glanced at Choji, who got the thirteenth bowl of ramen and began to eat happily again, then looked at Naruto, curled his lips, and said: "Give up, you can't win."
"Who will give up so easily!" Naruto looked at Sasuke and said while covering his mouth, looking like he was about to vomit.
He looked at Choji in front of him, his eyes full of unwillingness.
But Naruto really can't eat anymore.
"Sure enough, you're still a big idiot who can't recognize reality." Sasuke crossed his arms and said with a snort.
"You!" Naruto said vaguely. At this time, he couldn't even quarrel with Sasuke.
At this moment, Hinata beside him suddenly said, "Naruto-kun, do you really want to get the prize for this victory?"
Naruto nodded and said vaguely: "Of course."
Looking at Naruto's eyes full of unwillingness and expectation, Hinata's beautiful brows slightly frowned and fell into a short silence.
"Since it's for Naruto -kun …"
Not long after, she seemed to have made a decision in her heart and stood up from her seat.
"Hinata-nee-san, what's wrong?" Asami looked up at her.
Hinata turned from her seat and looked at Chang Pu, the owner's daughter in front of the workbench.
At this time, Chang Pu was still busy in the kitchen.
She bowed to Chang Pu and said softly: "Sorry, I want to sign up for the competition now, is it too late?"
As soon as her words fell, Sasuke, Sakura, and Asami's expression changed slightly.
Because Hinata is the eldest daughter of the Hyuga Clan, her father is very strict, and it's reasonable to say that he would never let her participate in such a boring competition.
Even Naruto, who has always been careless, looked at Hinata with horror at this time, but his hands were still covering his mouth.
Chang Pu was stunned and responded: "Of course, no problem, it's just …"
With that said, she glanced at Choji behind Hinata and the thirteenth bowl of ramen in front of him that was about to reach the bottom and muttered in her heart.
"This little girl, after seeing that guy's appetite, she still wants to participate?"
