Aoba looked deeply at the yellow-haired boy.
He knows this person. It was not the kind of recognition because of his predecessor's memory.
He knew them even before crossing into the ninja world.
He was the future Fourth Hokage, Namikaze Minato!
The red-haired ponytail girl who followed behind Minato was Uzumaki Kushina.
These two people were about the same age as Aoba, about 14 or 15 years old.
"Minato."
Aoba nodded at Minato. When Minato called him, he knew that Minato and his predecessor knew each other.
He never thought of it. He just came out of the torture division to eat a bowl of ramen.
He hasn't eaten yet. He saw the parents of the original protagonist Uzumaki Naruto.
Now, these two people just seemed to like each other. They were at a relatively early stage of love and had not officially confirmed their relationship to become lovers.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. It must be three or four years!"
Minato walked directly towards Aoba and sat down on the chair beside him. Judging from his action and tone, he was obviously familiar with Aoba.
Kushina followed behind Minato, with doubts gleaming in her eyes. Because she didn't know Aoba.
"We haven't seen each other since you dropped out of school."
Minato stared and looked at Aoba carefully in front of him with a smile on his face.
"I heard Inoichi said that you went to join Anbu. How did it feel over there?"
Minato chatted with Aoba like an old friend.
Such a scene.
Aoba was caught off guard.
It seems that there were some omissions in the memory!
At this moment, Aoba quickly reviewed the memories of his predecessor about the Ninja School.
When he was ten years old.
The predecessor had a heart attack during a competition.
To be safe, he temporarily quit the ninja school and stayed at home for recuperation.
But he didn't go back and went through the withdrawal procedures.
But this did not prevent his predecessor from becoming a Konoha ninja, so he became an Anbu of the torture division.
His predecessor didn't know many friends during his short time in Ninja School except for the Ino-Shika-Cho trio and the passionate Minato.
"It's okay."
Aoba pursed his lips and smiled slightly. No wonder he instinctively felt a touch of familiarity when he heard Minato's voice.
It turns out that Minato was a friend of his predecessor.
Although they haven't seen each other for three or four years. But the subconscious level of memory still remembers this person.
"He is?"
Kushina sitting beside Minato, quietly tugged Minato's sleeves, showing a very ladylike appearance.
This was when she was facing strangers.
No one really thinks of Kushina as a lady.
It's just for the first time.
Kushina deliberately maintains her own image.
"Oh, I forgot to introduce him to you. I thought you knew each other!"
After feeling Kushina's doubt, Minato suddenly patted his forehead and immediately realized the problem. His handsome face suddenly put on a warm smile.
"His name is Yamanaka Aoba. He is Inoichi's cousin. Like Choza and Shikaku, he was in our class, and he is also a good friend of mine." Minato explained to Kushina.
"?"
Kushina's beautiful eyes flashed with doubts again, and she used her eyes to ask questions at Minato but did not directly ask.
"It's like this..."
Minato still had a gentle smile on his face, and that smile seemed to tell Kushina not to worry.
"Aoba's body has some health issue. He was also injured while practicing at school, and because of that, he left the school."
"After Aoba left school, you transferred to our class, so you haven't met each other."
"Actually…"
"It was precisely because Aoba left that the class has a vacant place, and you happened to come in."
"In a sense."
"We can get to know each other because of Aoba!"
Minato explained to Kushina with a smile. He was very patient when talking to Kushina.
"So that's it!"
Kushina suddenly realized that when she transferred, Aoba was no longer in the ninja school. No wonder she had never seen this person.
Aoba didn't say a word and silently listened to Minato talking about the past.
He didn't even think of it.
Kushina transferred to the class where Minato was located because of the vacancy he left.
The fate between people was really amazing!
"Aoba, her name is Uzumaki Kushina. You heard it just now. She was a transfer student to our class." Minato introduced Kushina to Aoba.
"Hello."
Aoba nodded and said hello to Kusina.
"Hello!"
Kushina nodded in the same way.
"Your ramen is ready~."
At this moment, three bowls of ramen were served with a dinner plate.
They were Aoba's Tonkotsu Ramen and Minaro and Kusina's usual order.
After serving three bowls of hot noodles, Teuchi took out a few dinner plates with some side dishes, which were all side dishes in the deluxe set meal belonging to Aoba.
"Please enjoy."
He smiled slightly and narrowed his eyes.
Because of the arrival of hot ramen, its fragrance kept drilling into the three people's nostrils, stimulating their taste buds.
"That... Aoba... let's talk later..."
Minato looked at the ramen in front of him and casually clapped both hands together.
"Itadakimasu!"
After Minato finished speaking, he couldn't wait to start eating it.
"Itadakimasu!"
Kushina also picked up the chopsticks and ate the ramen on the table, but her movements were slower than Minato.
Such a scene fell into Aoba's eyes and made the corners of his mouth slightly cocked inadvertently.
Good fellow.
He was the same as Naruto.
Really worthy of being a father and son!
It turns out to be…
It's hereditary to like ramen!
"Itadakimasu."
Aoba made a simple pre-dinner ritual and then picked up the chopsticks, ready to taste the legendary Ichiraku ramen.
The noodles of Ramen Ichiraku were firm, and the soup was extremely rich. Just one bite can bring a strong feeling of fullness.
If you were hungry, it could instantly bring a great sense of happiness!
It didn't take long for the three to finish the ramen on the table.
After eating, their body felt better.
"Aoba, life in Anbu is very boring. I don't think you have any problems with your body now. If you want to return to the normal ninja team, I can help you." Minato said sincerely, he still cares about this good friend of his from Ninja School.
"No need, I like being Anbu very much." Aoba simply refused.
"Hmm..." Minato took a deep look at Aoba. They hadn't seen for a long time, and it was hard for them to say anything when they met again.
"The work of an Anbu suits me very well."
Aoba hurriedly added one more sentence.
He was terrified of what Minato would suggest on a whim.
You know.
Minato was the future Fourth Hokage!
Although he was not old right now, who knows how much weight his word was.
If he really was transferred.
How could he read memory with peace of mind!
He doesn't want to go to different places other than the torture division.
