Chapter 16 A Different Taste

Waiting is the most tormenting process, especially when you smell the aroma of delicious food but can only wait, the torment is a hundred times more uncomfortable.

Iruka felt as if he had returned to many years ago, when he was still a child.

At that time, Iruka's parents were still alive, and they both loved food.

Although because of the relationship between ninjas, I often have to go on business trips, but I don't always go home for dinner.

But once free, Iruka's parents will buy a large bag of ingredients and go home to cook delicious food.

At that time, Iruka also sat on the chair like now.

Because he was still young, Iruka could only hold his head in his hands and stare blankly at his parents kneading the dough.

"At that time, what were they talking about?"

Iruka rested his chin on one hand, thinking so.

The memory of the past is too far away, even the voice and appearance of the parents are gradually blurred with the passage of time.

No!

There are still some!

Iruka finally remembered, the memory that has been deep in his mind.

That is, the scent!

When Yang Ming put the noodles into the pot, the boiling soup submerged the noodles, and the rich aroma of wheat filled the air in an instant, lingering around Iluka.

"That's the scent!"

The familiar but unfamiliar Mai Xiang suddenly brought Ilukara into the long-term memory.

He seemed to see two vague figures standing not far in front of him, laughing and talking while putting the noodles into the pot.

"Damn it, Iruka is about to go to ninja school."

"Yes, I didn't expect so many years to pass in the blink of an eye!"

"What are you talking about, it makes us look like we are so old."

"Yes, yes, I was wrong, our life has just begun."

"My child, are you willing to continue walking with me?"

"Of course... hey! Don't play tricks, the child is sitting there..."

Tears gradually blurred Iruka's eyes, making his vision hazy for a while.

He is a little convinced now that the ramen in this small shop is extraordinary.

Just smelling the aroma, Iruka couldn't wait to steal it, just like looking forward to the dishes made by his parents when he was a child, his heart was full of fantasies.

"Here, your beef ramen."

At this time, Yang Ming came to Iruka with a bowl of hot ramen and interrupted his train of thought.

To be honest, the moment Iruka saw the ramen, Iruka was full of disappointment.

The ramen is soaked in a clear soup, and there are only a few slices of beef on it. Even with a pinch of chopped green onion, it still looks a bit thin.

Iruka still remembers that the beef ramen made by his parents when he was a child was filled with thick beef. Just looking at it made people feel full.

"That's right. After all, when people open their doors to do business, they always want to make money."

Iruka seemed to have forgotten the original intention of coming here, and started to make excuses for Yang Ming's cooking.

Iruka didn't pick up the beef first like Naruto did, but picked up a pinch of noodles, breathed out with his mouth and gently blew it cold, and then ate it.

Suck and suck!

This is……

Iruka's eyes widened suddenly.

When the noodles enter the tongue, the smooth taste explodes instantly!

That taste, just like the taste of parents!

How many years has it been...

Since Iruka's parents sacrificed to defend the village during the Kyuubi Disaster, he has never eaten this kind of ramen again!

Even the ramen made by Uncle Yile doesn't have this taste!

Suck and suck! Suck and suck!

Iruka swallowed ramen frantically, tears streaming down his face.

For countless nights, Iruka was alone at home staring at the kitchen in a daze.

There, filled with his countless memories and warmth.

Only then did Iruka feel that his parents hadn't died yet and were still living by his side.

Growing up, Iruka also learned how to make ramen.

But he couldn't get back the taste of that year.

It seemed that it was just a dream, a dream that would never appear.

But now...

When a bowl of ramen was swept away by Iruka, he still felt unsatisfied. It seemed like this was the only way to capture the feeling of eating with his parents back then.

"Hey, Iruka-sensei, why are you crying?"

Well, Naruto, who has always been dull, jumped out at this time, interrupting Iruka's slightly sad memories.

"Troubleshooting! Eat your noodles!"

Uncharacteristically, Iruka said to Naruto in a rude manner.

Sure enough, this trick was especially effective for Naruto, he instantly shrank his neck like a frightened ostrich, and focused on his ramen.

"Sorry, Naruto."

Iruka said to Naruto in his heart.

He didn't want Naruto's big mouth to go to school the next day to publicize today's matter, otherwise, where would he put his face?

When the noodles were all eaten, there were only a few thin slices of beef floating on the clear soup, like a rootless log, which immediately attracted Iruka.

Since ramen is so good, what about beef?

With such expectation, Iruka picked up a piece of beef and ate it in one bite.

Well!

When the teeth began to stir, like clothes in a washing machine, the beef was constantly torn and shredded, and the rich meaty aroma burst out with the soup, filling Iruka's entire tongue, and the tip of his tongue was full of Hot soup.

In an instant, a sense of comfort rushed straight into my mind.

The soup flowed into his body along his throat, and for a while, Iruka only felt a warmth flowing to his limbs and veins, making his whole body feel warm.

What surprised Iruka even more was not these, but that his chakra cultivation level, which had been immobile for many years, had an upward trend!

You know, Iruka has been in Zhongnin for many years, which means that his potential has long been used up, and he will be like that for the rest of his life.

But now, eating a piece of beef actually increased the amount of chakra a little!

Although not many, this is like the dawn before dawn, full of hope for the future!

Suddenly, Iruka stood up excitedly.

"Boss, can the beef ramen here increase the body's chakra?"

Yang Ming gave him a strange look, "Didn't Naruto tell you?"

"Well!"

Iruka slapped Naruto fiercely, and complained, "Naruto, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Naruto stared innocently, blinked, and said, "Mr. Iruka, you didn't ask me!"

"you!"

Anyone who is answered in this way will be pissed off, and Iruka is no exception, he can only stare dryly and feel sulking in his heart.

But outside Yang Ming's shop, they didn't know that there was a pair of eyes watching all this.

"It's a magical shop. I don't know what secrets are hidden inside?"

"No, sir's plan does not allow any variables, it seems that we have to test it out."

The man muttered to himself.
