Ayame actually recognized Sasuke.

"You're the boss's daughter, right?" Sasuke remembered her face from the anime, but her name was too difficult to recall, so he had no real impression of it.

"My name is Ayame. I didn't expect Uchiha Sasuke to come and eat at Ichiraku Ramen. And the one next to you must be Haruno Sakura, right?"

"What a cute, beautiful girl."

Sakura was usually carefree. In the original show, when she beat up Naruto, she was like a tigress. But when she was with her love, Sasuke, she acted like a gentle and considerate bird.

"Hello, Ayame. I'm sorry to bother you so late at night," Sakura said politely.

Ayame was also cheerful and generous. She smiled and said, "We're open for business. No matter how late it is, as long as there are hungry customers, we'll make delicious food for them."

It felt very much like the two-dimensional anime world, where no matter the job, everyone was full of passion.

Ayame suddenly leaned in with a teasing expression.

"I overheard you two earlier... Are you two boyfriend and girlfriend? Have you gotten to that stage yet? Holding hands, kissing, or maybe more?"

Just the thought was interesting.

Sasuke was considered the most handsome guy in the village, and Sakura was regarded as the class beauty. In the original show, both Naruto and Rock Lee had crushes on her. Naturally, Ayame was curious about this talented and beautiful couple.

Sasuke smiled. "Everything that should've happened has happened."

Ayame was surprised, "Is that so exciting?" Although Ayame wasn't particularly young anymore, she hadn't been in love before.

Ayame felt a little envious of Sakura. Even though Sakura was cute, her chest wasn't as full as Ayame's. Despite Sasuke transforming Sakura from a girl into a woman, the outward changes weren't all that significant. After all, Sakura was still young and inexperienced in love.

She seemed not much different from her innocent girl self. This was completely unlike Tsunade, whose mature charm Sakura could never fully grasp.The reason for Ayame's envy stemmed from the fact that, in the Naruto world, many girls were crazy about men. In the original show, wherever Sasuke went, he attracted countless fangirls, like a young male celebrity.

Ayame had been young once too. Although she never dated, she fantasized about meeting a handsome boy like Sasuke when she was Sakura's age. Unfortunately, she wasn't as lucky as Sakura. She had never met someone like that. Besides, Ichiraku Ramen was always busy, and Ayame had no time for love.

So, Ayame's envy was understandable, especially since Sasuke seemed particularly gentle with Sakura. A handsome, considerate boy like that was the perfect boyfriend.

"Your ramen is ready!"

The shop's owner, Teuchi, enthusiastically served the food. For him, business wasn't just about making money. He loved seeing customers enjoy the food he made. He was passionate about that sense of accomplishment.

"It smells so good! I'm going to dig in." Sasuke picked up his chopsticks and started eating, "Mmm, delicious." Man cannot live without food. After eating something so tasty, his body was filled with energy.

"Sakura, don't just stare at me—eat too," Sasuke reminded her when he noticed her gazing at him, entranced. "It won't taste good once it gets cold."

The ramen bowl was larger than Sasuke had expected. In the original show, Naruto could eat several bowls at once. Sasuke wasn't sure if he could handle more than one. Just then, a lazy voice sounded nearby.

"Uncle Ichiraku, I'm starving—give me some ramen!"

It was Uzumaki Naruto, walking in sluggishly. He must've been napping somewhere during the day and woke up cold at night. In the original show, Naruto often skipped class and didn't train as hard as Rock Lee, instead finding quiet places to sleep. Today was no different.

However, Naruto had no idea how much Uchiha Sasuke had changed, or that the girl he had long admired, Sakura, was no longer the same. Naruto waved a coupon in his hand. Too poor to afford a full meal, he had to use vouchers for ramen.

In the original show, there was a scene where Naruto took Sakura out for dinner to impress her, only to realize he had no money. He ended up treating her to ramen and splitting the bill. Of course, in the Naruto world, splitting the bill wasn't unusual. But it was embarrassing for Naruto, who wanted to woo Sakura, to be so poor. No wonder Sakura never took him seriously when he lacked abilities or wealth.

"Sasuke! Sakura!" Naruto exclaimed, shocked to see them sitting together at Ichiraku Ramen. What was even more unbelievable was how different Sakura seemed, her face flushed and her eyes soft and full of affection.

'What's going on?' Naruto thought, confused, "Sakura! I'm so happy to see you," He said, moving closer in his excitement. Just being near Sakura and hearing her voice was enough to make him feel elated.

But Sakura was colder to Naruto than usual. Tonight, she was downright dismissive.

"Naruto, I'm Sasuke's girlfriend now. Please don't get too close to me," She said, her face showing clear disgust.

Naruto, unaware that his hair was a mess from sleeping outside, looked unkempt and disheveled. Compared to Sasuke's dashing appearance, Naruto was no match.

"This... This can't be!" Naruto's heart sank. He stared at them in disbelief, his eyes wide with shock.

But Sasuke, ever possessive, even with his friend Naruto, simply pulled Sakura into his arms and leaned down right in front of Ayame and Naruto, and kissed her on the lipps.

"Mmmm~ Slurp~" Sakura moaned lightly, feeling Sasuke's tongue inside her mouth.

"Ah—!" Naruto went crazy on the spot, clutching his hair, ready to rush over and stop Sasuke from doing anything more with his beloved Sakura. But seeing Sakura's blushing face and closed eyes made it clear she was willing.

"Naruto, don't be presumptuous!" Sasuke broke the kiss raised his hand, releasing a powerful burst of chakra that knocked Naruto back.

"..." Naruto was speechless.

The owner of Ichiraku Ramen was surprised. "Such strong chakra, at least at the jonin level."

Ayame, meanwhile, watched with a playful and gossip-hungry expression, "Oh my, what a dramatic love triangle! Uchiha Sasuke is so handsome and strong."

Though young, Sasuke's domineering aura while protecting Sakura was awe-inspiring. However, the most shocked person present was Sasuke hiprompt. As he pushed Naruto away, he unexpectedly heard the system's prompt.

[Congratulations! You have signed in and sealed the Nine-Tails, gaining the Nine-Tails Chakra.]

WTF?

Sasuke stared at his hand in disbelief, then at the heartbroken Naruto, who was now sitting on the ground.

'My system is too overpowered!' Sasuke touched his eyes and found his Sharingan had evolved into the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan.

He checked his chakra reserves, which had now reached the level of a jonin. And all it took was pushing Naruto. He couldn't believe that just by signing in, he'd gained the [Nine-Tails Chakra].

At the moment, Sasuke didn't fully understand how strong this chakra was, but he knew he had to keep it hidden. Being this powerful at such a young age was dangerous and could attract unwanted attention. Feigning weakness while hiding immense power was a must for any time traveler.

Sasuke suppressed his excitement.

'My sign-in system is ridiculously powerful!' Earlier, he'd touched Sakura all over, inside and out, but the system hadn't triggered. Yet now, with Naruto, he had gained the Nine-Tails Chakra in an instant.

"Sasuke, are you alright?" Sakura asked, concerned. Even though Naruto had been knocked to the ground, her focus was entirely on Sasuke.
