Arriving at the ramen shop, Tsukimi entered the small cart shop with the rest of the people following behind him.
He looked around to see a Teen manning the shop by himself, his eyes were almost closed but from what it looked like he was still able to see what he was doing.
"Welcome to Ichiraku Ramen, what would you like to order." The boy asked politely while smiling at the customers.
"Order whatever you want." Tsukimi spoke before taking a seat. The girls chose to sit beside him like they do in the class.
"This is the first time we came here isn't it." Matatabi asked, looking around the small store.
Kokuo nodded and looked at Tsukimi to order the food for her. Matatabi also started looking at the types of dishes they served.
"I would have a Miso Ramen first. After that you can make the others one by one." Tsukimi gave the order after looking at the Menu. Kokuo and Matatabi also agreed to have the same.
He wanted to try ever single ramen on the menu, since they could easily eat his whole store worth of stock without even getting satisfied. They were just eating for taste.
Tsunade looked at the boy with a weird look her eyes. "Can you even finish that much? Well what do I care, Its your money."
Orochimaru had already given his order for the ramen.
Tsunade's surprise yes shone looking at the menu and ordered the most expensive ramen without any reserves. she just wanted to shame the by for the disrespect he had shown to his 'elders'
'That will teach you how to not be arrogant. Hehe if you beg me I might pay the bill later but I will make sure you suffer properly.'
Tsukimi heard the maniac like giggles from her and looked at her with a weird look in his eyes.
The boy managing the stall took the order and started making the noodles.
"Here is your order." Before long he placed everyone's order on the table and they started eating the food.
"Teuchi, your Ramen seems to better than before." Tsunade commented while taking the bite of the pieces of chicken in the ramen.
"Thanks for the praise Tsunade-sama." Teuchi scratched the back of his head in embarrassment. He has been trying to perfect the recipe of his ramen.
While Tsunade and Orochimaru did not even finish half of the ramen, Tsukimi, Kokuo and Matatabi had already finished their meals, shocking the rest of the people.
It was not the speed of their eating that shocked them but it was the fact that they were eating elegantly while maintaining that speed somehow.
"The next one please." Tsukimi spoke calmly bringing the teenage boy out of his shock and he hurriedly replied.
"Right away."
In a minute three more ramens were placed on the counter just like the other they were devoured by the trio in a proper manner.
Tsunade looked at the three of them like he was a monster. "What do you even do to be able to eat that much?" She did not even finish her first yet the boy finished the two whole bowls of ramen.
"We just eat a little more than normal people." His comment caused her lips to twitch.
She cursed in her mind thinking, ''just a little more? What kind of normal people are you talking about?'
Tsukimi did not have to wait for a long time as Teuchi hurriedly started preparing one bowl after another for him. In the end they just ate around ten or so Ramens per person while Tsunade and Orochimaru ate 4 and 2 each respectively.
After everyone was done eating, Tsukimi looked at the boy with a hint of impatience in her eyes. She wanted to see how he would pay the bill now.
"The bill is 70,000 ryo." Teuchi left a small slip of bill on the counter top and Tsukimi got up to pay.
"Hey boy, can you pay? If you cannot, I might help you pay for that but you have to ask 'nicely'."
Hearing her loud exclamation even Orochimaru's lips twitched while he did not even say a thing to meddle in her talk. He knew better than to say unnecessary things in front of her.
Tsukimi's hand halted and he looked at the blonde kunoichi with a small smirk on his face under the mask.
"What if I can pay?"
Tsukimi spoke the words in a tone that made it look like they were gambling if he can pay or not.
Tsunade's grin widened hearing those words as she spoke. She was instantly hooked with her gambling habits ever since she came in touch with it through grandpa. Tsukimi knew Hashirama well enough to know his gambling habits and much to his surprise even his granddaughter had it too.
He came to know about it while living with them and somehow he wasn't surprised.
" if you manage to pay it. I will agree to your request for once, Any request." She spoke with a victorious smirk on her face and Tsukimi raised his eyebrow hearing the response.
He decided to humor the girl and placed a bundle of ryos on the counter in front of the shocked Teuchi.
"There is 100,000 ryo in it, the rest is your tip." Tsukimi turned towards Tsunade and added," I will see what I would want you to do for me."
Even though she could not see his face, Tsunade knew that the boy was smirking under the mask.
"Damn you boy!!!" she could only shout in anger as Tsukimi quietly walked out with the girls.
