"Suck... Suck... Hoo! Cool!"
Aoba, who had almost finished his meal, had already devoured three big bowls before he could finish them!
To be honest, this was the first time he had eaten his fill since coming to Konoha!
Moreover, not only was the ramen of Ichiraku tasted good, but the head of the soup was also especially delicious. More importantly, there was a sufficient amount!
In addition, it was unknown if it were forbecause they were still children, but the owner had silently added eggs to each bowl of ramen and even gifted two side dishes. He was really kind!
'No wonder so many people loved to eat here… Naruto had even become the lifelong customer of ichiraku Ramen.'
Seeing that Itachi had almost finished eating and still did not waste it, Aoba took out his wallet and slapped it on the table, shouting, "It's on me!"
Itachi was stunned for a moment, then quickly swallowed the noodles in his mouth, "Didn't we agree?"
"Haha, I was just teasing you. Besides, you invited me to eat a hundred sticks of noodles. If you invite me again, what will I become? If you treat me as a friend, then don't bother about this."
"Uncle, I want to pay!"
The boss looked at him in surprise, then showed his trademark sly smile and gave him a thumbs-up.
"A total of 270 taels. Thank you for your patronage!"
Aoba readily took out the money, and then pulled Itachi out after eating.
At this time, the hand who began to clean up the table sighed, "The current generation is really incredible"
...…
"What's wrong with you? You have been wanting to say something from the start. Did you eat something wrong?"
Itachi obviously had a lot to say, but when the words reached his mouth, he did not know how to speak.
In fact, the word "friend" that Aoba mentioned just now made his heart suddenly throb. Only then did he realize that he also longed for friendship.
However, the people in the family would not agree to him being friends with an ordinary civilian child. Once the people in the family knew that this kind of thing would bring shame to Uchiha, he did not need to think to know the reaction of the family. This would instead harm Aoba.
That was why he hesitated between these two difficulties.
"Nothing, I just have a little too much to eat. Oh right, didn't you say that you wanted to make a big purchase? It's good for you to exercise." Itachi smiled and changed the topic. He didn't want to cause any trouble for Aoba because of this matter, so he just needed to maintain the current situation. He was still used to carrying everything on his back.
Aoba couldn't see through Itachi's thoughts, so he had to give up. Then, he smiled and took Itachi to the market.
He really wanted to buy a lot of things. Just the rice alone was so heavy! If not for Itachi, he would probably not be able to bring it back even if he bought it.
Carrying a lot of things, they couldn't even see each other. However, the two of them were the brightest cubs nearby!
If it were forin the past, Itachi would probably have escaped directly.
However, after interacting with a heartless person like Aoba twice, he learned to ignore the strange gazes of others.
Although it was still very shameful, he persevered and walked home with Aoba.
...…
"Thank you. You really helped a lot today. If not for you, I wouldn't have been able to take back so many things by myself."
After putting down his things, Aoba stretched his muscles and bones and thanked Itachi.
After these days of training, his physique was obviously much better, and his strength was also much stronger. This kind of progress made him very happy.
"Nothing, it's good that you can help."
"In order to express my gratitude, how about tasting my cooking later?"
Hearing that Aoba still wanted to eat, Itachi's face immediately changed. He really couldn't eat anymore.
"Next time, next time! I should go back too. I still have some trainings to do."
"You really work hard. Then I won't keep you, but you will come again in the future, right?"
Itachi hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and said, "If there is a chance, I will come again. If you don't force me to eat so many things."
'Oh my god!'
'Even Uchiha Itachi would complain!'
Aoba was obviously choked for a moment and then said helplessly, "Don't worry, I can't afford to eat like this every day. Next time I come, I want to ask you something."
"No problem, then... goodbye." Itachi relaxed a lot when he heard this.
Seeing Itachi walk away with brisk steps, Aoba couldn't help but smile. He could feel that there were a lot of things hidden in Itachi's heart. However, Itachi, who was only five years old, obviously had not completely developed the reclusive character of a stranger in the future.
Moreover, looking at Itachi's short life, it was not difficult to find that Itachi's feelings were more restrained. In addition to his guilt for Sasuke, he also valued the feelings of his companions.
Even after entering Akatsuki, his personality charm still made his teammates admire him.
Even a traitor like Biwa Juzou could bravely block a fatal attack for him, not to mention his partner, Kisame. Before he died, he still had Itachi in his mind, and he respected Itachi very much.
When Itachi learned of Kisame's death, he could not help but shed a tear.
It could only be said that some people were born extraordinary, and no matter where they went, they could not be ignored.
After sighing, Aoba packed up his things and went outside to prepare for today's cultivation.
In any case, it was the way to train his body. He was not afraid of others knowing.
But all of a sudden, he felt a sense of danger. The feeling of sharpness on his back made his hair stand on end.
Thus, without even thinking about it, he rolled around and avoided the sneak attack in an extremely sorry state.
He saw three Kunai-shaped words nailed to the ground where he had just been standing.
"Eh?"
A figure suddenly appeared in front of Aoba. It seemed that he was a little surprised that a little brat had such a sharp intuition.
Although he had only casually attacked and did not really want to kill someone, this might have not been able to be established.
When Aoba saw the eye-catching clan emblem on the other party's clothes, his heart could not help but shiver. If he did not dodge in time, someone would probably be able to collect his corpse at this time.
Not only did the dignified Uchiha personally take action to deal with a child, he even attacked sneakily. Truly despicable!
"Who are you? As a ninja, you dare to attack civilians? Aren't you afraid that the Hokage will find out about your crime?"
Aoba shouted loudly, hoping to attract the attention of others. At the same time, he crossed his hands in front of him, ready to meet the attack at any time.
He knew that if the other party attacked him with all his strength, he would only die.
And turning around and running away was the most stupid way to do it!
Now, he could only hope that the other party would not attack him. After all, if there is news about notorious Uchiha attacking the civilians, they would probably suffer a lot.
Not to mention, Uchiha was Konoha's police department, responsible for maintaining the security and stability of the village.
'If the matter blows up, it will become me catching myself, and then there will be a good show to watch.'
