"You two have such a good relationship. When the neighbor lady who came back from shopping told us that the little princess of the Hyuga family had a marriage proposal, we all thought it was a political marriage of some noble family."
Perhaps because it was past mealtime, there were no other customers at Ichiraku Ramen Restaurant in the afternoon, and the leisurely Ayame chatted with the two of them with great interest.
In the morning at the Konoha vegetable market, housewives were chatting about gossip. Someone said that the second daughter of the Hyuga clan had suddenly made an engagement with Luo Yi. Everyone was shocked and asked: Who is Luo Yi?
"Uh... I'm just an ordinary person. Thank you for the kindness of Mr. Rizu, and... Miss Hanabi." Luo Yi resisted the urge to frown, and just looked at the little girl beside him with a slightly wry smile.
Do they...seem to have a good relationship?
They had only known each other for two days, and they had fought three times on the first day. There were also many confrontations during their subsequent training.
"Hmm...well, Luo Yi is very nice. He took me to eat ramen." Hanabi thought about it and affirmed what "Sister Ichiraku" said.
How should I describe the signature pork bone ramen of Ichiraku Ramen? In terms of taste, it cannot compare to the technology and hard work of the original world. But its advantage lies in its naturalness, and it is probably pollution-free, so Luo Yi feels relieved when eating it.
"Hehe, then little sister Hanabi, please come often in the future. Oops, is it rude to call the little princess of the Hyuga family like that? Please don't blame me." Ayame clasped her hands together to apologize.
"It's okay." Although Hanabi didn't smile, she shook her head seriously.
"I'm sorry, sister. Hua Huo is just serious, but she is still very kind." Luo Yi hesitated for a few seconds and decided to explain.
"I know, Princess Fireworks is very cute." Ayame smiled and waved her hands, "By the way, little brother, you are too mature. You really don't have any hidden identity, such as the lost bloodline of some famous person?"
Hidden identity…By the way, many readers have speculated whether Uncle Ichiraku has a hidden identity of the Otsutsuki clan.
As a squinty-eyed character who is a monster among humans, the hand-type uncle is considered to be anti-routine.
"Haha, I just wandered here accidentally... Although I'm not an orphan, I really can't go back to my parents." Luo Yi felt that he seemed to have revealed a little too much.
"It sounds more like he's an illegitimate child of a noble... Never mind, it's better for ordinary people like us not to know about this kind of inside story." Acorus ended the topic tactfully.
The identity of the time traveler must be kept secret, although no one may believe it if it is told. At most, they will regard him as a victim of a ninjutsu trap from some time and space.
But there is no guarantee that there are scientists in this world who are more crazy than Orochimaru. It is not impossible that one day he will be put in a sack and taken away for research.
When paying the bill, Luo Yi found that the ramen at Ichiraku Ramen was really affordable.
With our own store, we don't have to worry about rent, so we can reduce costs to a level that ordinary people can consume freely. That's not bad.
...
After returning to the Hyuga family residence, Luo Yi was finally able to let go of Hanabi's little hand, after holding it for nearly two hours in total.
Although in his mind, the little girl is like a child; but in fact, because their bodies have become smaller, their hands are almost the same size, and it is difficult to deceive themselves that there is a generation gap when holding hands.
Not to mention that even the vegetable market was spreading their news, and almost everyone in Konoha knew about it.
"Oh..." Luo Yi felt like a frog being boiled in warm water.
"Luo Yi, why are you sighing? Could it be that the mission didn't go well?" Hua Huo came over and sat next to the boy.
"Ah? Look, Kakashi... my jonin sensei, is going to conduct a field survival drill for the three graduates of Team 7 tomorrow. I was wondering if I should go and take a look."
Luo Yi couldn't tell Hua Huo that he was worried about their relationship, so he just casually threw out a question that he had already figured out.
"Aren't you a member of Team 7? It sounds like you don't have to go."
"Well, after all, I am considered an apprentice genin, so the content of the examination is different. This morning, Kakashi-sensei arranged a test for me alone, which is why I came back late."
"It's over in just this morning? Luo Yi is amazing, my sister hasn't even come back yet."
"You can't pull me down like that. The young lady is a proper Genin, different from me. And there are differences between different Jonin teachers."
Kakashi is the laziest among the jonin, and if he hadn't been late, Luo Yi would probably have been able to make it back for lunch.
Although I was also very happy to check in at Ichiraku Ramen.
"Oh...Okay, the break is over, let's fight again."
"Huh? Are you coming again?"
...
Taking into account the possible existence of the "observation effect", Luo Yi did not even plan to go to the rehearsal site, pretending not to interfere with the progress of the original work without knowing it.
Luo Yi didn't remember Team 7's experience today very clearly. He only knew that the "condition for passing the level" was that Sasuke and Sakura fed Naruto who was tied to a pillar, and that they were recognized by Kakashi for "valuing their companions."
"So it will last at least until lunch time, right? Then let's go to the training ground and take a look." Luo Yi tried hard to recall the impressive scenes in the original work.
"What lunch? Isn't it dinner now?" Hanabi turned her head.
"I was thinking about tomorrow. I think tomorrow's exercise will be very exciting." Luo Yi didn't even notice that he was talking to himself.
Before I knew it, I felt relaxed at the Hyuga household.
Before dinner, Hinata came back and explained the situation of Team 8.
Just like in the original work, Hinata's teammates are Kiba Inuzuka and Shino Aburame. It can be said that all three of them are very good at exploration and tracking, but they are slightly inferior in combat power.
The meticulous jonin teacher Yuhi Kurenai gave three students a day of theoretical knowledge today, and tomorrow they will have a practical exercise similar to that of Team 7, but in a different format.
The jonin-sensei have considerable decision-making power in arranging the content of the exercises.
"Luo Yi, I heard from the Hokage that your performance today was excellent and you can directly become a formal Genin." Hiashi praised.
Although he tried his best to keep a straight face, when he learned that Luo Yi defeated Kakashi's shadow clone unscathed in the Hokage's office, he held it in for a long time before he managed not to laugh out loud.
Wonderful, wonderful.
It's even more amazing than the Myoboku-sage of Myoboku Mountain.
"Uh...Mr. Rizu, this is..." Luo Yi was a little stuck and couldn't find a reason to refuse for a moment.
He couldn't say that he didn't want to destroy the coordination of the "Nine Little Strongmen of Konoha", and forcing them to become the "Ten Little Strongmen" would be too superfluous.
"No." During meal time, Hua Huo rarely took the initiative to speak, "Luo Yi, he has to go to school with me...
What precious time we spent together as classmates.
After a few days, through the occasional chats of people around him, Luo Yi roughly figured out the curriculum of the Ninja School in recent years.
Generally speaking, children in Konoha Village can enter school at the age of six, undergo six years of classroom study, and take the graduation exam at the age of twelve. But in reality, after completing the basic theory and practical exercises, you can take the graduation exam at any time and graduate early.
Hanabi, who is seven years old this year, did not start school last year, mainly for safety reasons. She was educated and trained independently in the Hyuga family. She was originally scheduled to start school in two years and graduate after three years of study.
It was Luo Yi's appearance and amazing performance that caused Rizu to change his mind and decide to send the two to school next semester.
"That makes sense. Then let's do as we said before. When there is a mission, Luo Yi will follow Kakashi to do it; when there is no mission, she will go to school." Rizu also rarely directly affirmed his daughter's suggestion.
Although he intended to let his "future son-in-law" complete tasks and accumulate reputation early, it seemed more important to cultivate feelings at the moment.
Don't create the youngest jonin of a new era and then have him snatched away by the nobles of the Land of Fire.
If this were to happen, the white eyes would turn into red eyes.
"By the way, Luo Yi, your status as an apprentice Genin and a new member of the Hyuga family will be revealed tomorrow. Tomorrow you can go to the Ninja Logistics Department to apply for equipment and ninja tools of the same level as Genin according to your needs. You can also customize props of a certain cost according to your own preferences. If you are interested, go and have a look." Hiashi glanced at the children on both sides, "Hinata, when you officially become a Genin, you can also enjoy this part of the logistics service, so I won't repeat it."
"Yes, Father."
"Okay, thank you Mr. Hiashi."
"Well, Luo Yi, starting tomorrow, you should change the way you address me."
"…it is good."
Luo Yi was also very tense.
This is not boiling a frog in warm water, it's clearly cutting sausage
