Chapter 2172: Will You Be There Tomorrow (4,000 Words)

"this……"

Seeing Ichiraku retracting the hand that put down the ramen and slowly retracting it, Haneda Kazuyo lowered his head and looked at the ramen in front of him. A look of astonishment flashed across his face, but his whole figure seemed to be stunned on the spot. Words fail.

"Hey——? Why? Uncle Yile, this is so unfair!"

At this time, Uzumaki Naruto, who looked over at the ramen in front of Haneda Kazuha that was obviously different from the other three bowls of ramen, finally shouted.

"Why doesn't mine have barbecued pork?"

Then, at the end of this sound, Uzumaki Naruto couldn't help but express his strong dissatisfaction.

And his eyes were completely attracted by the ramen with barbecued pork placed in front of Haneda Kazuyo and almost overflowing from the bowl.

Well……

Unknowingly...

At this moment, listening to Uzumaki Naruto's complaints, Uncle Ichiraku's face, which had stiffened since he put down the ramen, flashed a look of disdain.

Perhaps the young man in front of him was so similar to the person in his memory that even the type of ramen he liked to order was somewhat similar. Unknowingly, he subconsciously added barbecued pork for three people.

Everything is a conditioned reflex.

suspicious!

So suspicious!

At this time, Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura, who had already lost their suspicion because of Kazuyo Haneda's remarks, looked at Ichiraku and then at Kazuyo Haneda. The suspicion that had subsided in their hearts was now intense again. .

"I don't know why, but thank you? The people of Konoha are so hospitable!"

At this time, after hearing Uzumaki Naruto's shouting, Haneda Kazuha suddenly reacted and raised his head, looked at Ichiraku, and thanked him sincerely.

The implication is that he already added so much barbecued pork because Ichiraku was taking care of him, a foreigner.

"Haha! If you're not careful..."

And hearing this sound,

Yile laughed and said, but in his words, he brushed off the matter.

call……

But as he spoke, he felt relieved in his heart.

Um?

Then, the next moment, just as he was relieved, he was slightly stunned.

Why should I breathe a sigh of relief?

Isn't it because this boy looks a bit like that kid that I accidentally and subconsciously added more barbecued pork?

This kind of thing is not a big deal in the first place.

Why……

I want to breathe a sigh of relief, like no one else can find out?

And during this moment, Yile was puzzled.

"What? It turns out that Uncle Yile also takes care of people outside the village. He has completely different attitudes towards people in the village."

At this time, Uzumaki Naruto's words full of complaints and jealousy rang out.

Why?

Why!

Why--!

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute!

And just as these words rang out, Naruto Uzumaki's face froze when he first had a look of "I see" and a look of disdain on his face like "This is unfair" because of what they said.

Suddenly, he suddenly looked at Haruno Sakura, who was staring at Haneda Kazuha, and then at Ichiraku, who was covering the back of his head with one hand and laughing.

In an instant, his face turned a decadent blue-gray color.

Sakura...

Yile's uncle...

Could it be that they all like Haneda Kazuyo?

Even Uncle Yile...

Why!

Why is this guy so popular?

Not only does he have great strength, he also has such a cute face!

If this continues, if this continues...my...my position...

Then, in the blue-gray space, a crucial question suddenly appeared in his mind, an idea that made his heart tremble.

After that, he suddenly had an image of Haruno Sakura looking at him with disgust as he fell to the ground due to frustration. He snorted coldly and said that he never wanted to see the weak self again. At the same time, he had a look of disdain on his face. Uchiha Sasuke, who was looking at him, also snorted coldly, saying "weak", and then the two of them walked towards the back of Haneda Kazuha opposite him, who had walked far away, until he could no longer see their figures. , there was only a dark picture surrounding him.

No no no!

Will not!

This guy Kazuye is still a very good person!

Not only did he save Konohamaru, he also treated us to ramen.

Shouldn't be a bad person.

However, after this scene flashed, he couldn't help but recall the incident of Haneda Kazuha saving Konohamaru and eating ramen himself, and the sudden rise of his own fantasy towards the kind-looking man next to him. The boy's hostility slowly dissipated.

But……

Sakura, she...

Suddenly, Uzumaki Naruto was caught in many contradictions.

suspicious!

It's really suspicious!

Although he didn't feel any danger, he looked suspicious at Haneda Kazuha.

The Chuunin Examination is going to be held in the village now, and there are many people from other villages. This Haneda Kazuha is not disguised to spy on our village's intelligence.

At this time, Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura, who were not on the same channel as Uzumaki Naruto, looked at Haneda Kazuha with increasingly unkind eyes.

"Thank you... thank you, boss."

As the two people's eyes became more and more unkind, coupled with Uzumaki Naruto's tangled gaze, Haneda Kazuha, who was being stared at, finally became a little unable to hold back, and the leisurely smile that always appeared at the corner of his mouth began to slowly The stiffness gave it an unnatural color.

It seemed that he was still twitching slightly.

It was quite reluctantly that I said such a word of thanks.

"Hey! Then, please enjoy it slowly."

Seeing that this matter had come to an end, Yile did not stay any longer and continued to work.

"Naruto, if you can, please!"

Seeing Ichiraku hiding away, Haneda Kazuha forced a smile and gently pushed the ramen in front of him to Uzumaki Naruto next to him.

"Hey? Is that okay?"

Looking at the bowl filled with barbecued pork that was pushed over, the tangled expression on Naruto Uzumaki's face immediately froze, and he looked at the guy who was treating him to ramen with a slightly different smile on his face. The guy, who he didn't know whether to be hostile to or befriended, blinked and said with a confused look on his face.

"Of course, there is so much, I can't finish it by myself. If you can, please share it."

In this regard, Haneda Kazuha nodded firmly, and looked at Uchiha Sasuke and Haruno Sakura, and said so.

This extra amount of barbecued pork is enough for three people, enough for them to share.

"What! You are indeed a good person!"

Upon hearing this sound, Uzumaki Naruto's face immediately burst into joy. With a big toothy smile, he already took the large bowl of ramen and patted Haneda Kazuyo's shoulder heavily. There was no doubt about him, the suspicion was lifted, and it was completely confirmed that the guy named Haneda Kazuha in front of him was a good person.

ah!

This guy Naruto was bribed!

Looking at Uzumaki Naruto's appearance, Haruno Sakura and Uchiha Sasuke twitched their lips together, and an inexplicable emotion suddenly surged in their hearts, as if they had been betrayed by their teammates.

Sure enough, it’s so suspicious!

He actually bribed Naruto!

Then, with this thought, the two of them completely confirmed in their hearts that Haneda Kazuha was really suspicious and even resorted to bribery.

"Hey! Sakura, I'll give you the biggest piece!"

At this time, Naruto had already excitedly started to portion out the extra portion of barbecued pork. After all, it had to be done quickly, and Kazuha had to eat the rest.

This first part is naturally to win the favor of your sweetheart.

"As for Sasuke, now, I'll give you the bamboo shoots I hate the most."

Afterwards, as a love rival and rival, it is best not to give it to him, but after all, it was Kazuyo who said he wanted to share it, so give Kazuyo face and give him some bamboo shoots, since he won’t eat them anyway.

"Bang!"

However, just as he finished speaking, the sound of a fist hitting his scalp suddenly sounded.

"Naruto! Just stop it!"

Then, there was an angry rough voice from a girl.

"Hey, Sasuke, I'll give you the biggest piece."

After that, there was the girl's extremely gentle tone.

"Sakura, you...are just as annoying as Naruto!"

After that, there are the familiar words of Zhu Gusheng.

"Why is this... Sasuke..."

Then, the girl's voice sounded again, but this time, it was a tone full of decadence and disappointment but still special and gentle.

"What did you say! Sasuke! What did you say to Sakura? Do you want to fight?"

After that, there was the sound of Naruto Uzumaki almost going berserk.

"Shut up, Naruto!"

Then, there was the angry rough voice of the girl.

"Why is this like this...Sakura..."

After that, there was Uzumaki Naruto's extremely aggrieved voice.

"Haha...it's so annoying, you two..."

Finally, it is the final word of Zhu Gusheng.

While the three people were making a fuss, Haneda Kazuha was supporting the stall with one hand, gently supporting his cheek, turning his face sideways, with a leisurely smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, watching quietly without saying a word. He didn't interrupt the rough exchange between the three of them, nor did he urge them to share his barbecued pork quickly, even though he was already hungry.

He just watched, watching quietly, his eyes flickering, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.

In the midst of this commotion, Yile slowly turned his head around unconsciously, and his eyes fell on this noisy scene.

This time, he did not scold the noisy three and asked them to stop disturbing the guests with their noisy behavior.

Just, I watched silently for a long time.

Why does this scene feel so familiar?

Finally, an idea came to his mind.

As for this scene, because no one stopped and no new customers came, it continued until the end of the meal. The four of them waved goodbye in front of this Le Ramen stall.

"Thank you, Kazuye, you should be there tomorrow, I'll come find you tomorrow!"

Uzumaki Naruto, who was very satisfied with his meal and had already walked far away from his home, turned back, suddenly stretched out his hand, waved vigorously, towards the man standing at the door of the Ichiraku Ramen shop, with the light behind him, somewhat invisible in the dusk. The young man, who had a clear face but seemed to be shrouded in a strong sense of loneliness, said hello.

"ah!"

In response, Haneda Kazuyo, who had always maintained a leisurely smile, gently raised his hand and waved gently.

"Thank you! See you tomorrow!"

At this time, as if she was infected by something, Haruno Sakura also raised her hand, waved her hand, and spoke. The frightened Uzumaki Naruto who was waving at the side froze up, and his body seemed to turn pale. color.

At the same time, Uchiha Sasuke, who had turned his back, also turned slightly and nodded invisibly towards Haneda Kazuha.

Then, a group of three people walked further and further away in the afterglow of dusk, dragging their long shadows.

"call--!"

After watching the three people disappear into the sunset without even seeing their shadows, Haneda Kazuyo let out a long breath.

These three people...

Feelings are so good.

Then, such a thought flashed through his mind.

"Has the Third Hokage replied yet? Mr. ANBU."

Then, after this thought flashed across his face, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, slowly turning into a cautious and serious look, and he slowly looked towards the shadow of the corner of the Le Ramen stall. .

Varied!

At this time, the Anbu who was hiding in the shadow corner and had never found a suitable opportunity to appear to send the message was slightly startled. His figure suddenly stiffened, his eyes widened suddenly, and there was a look of astonishment under the mask.

thousand……

No!

No, not him!

Although they look very similar, their demeanor and temperament are completely different.

Obviously, he was also shocked by the young man's appearance, but after all, he was the ANBU of the village. He was far more sophisticated than Ichiraku in reading people. Ichiraku could tell the difference at a glance. This ANBU was almost the same. He immediately denied what he was thinking.

"This is Hokage-sama's reply. I should have given it to you a long time ago. It was delayed due to some matters. I'm extremely sorry."

And now that Xingzou was discovered, the ANBU ninja no longer hid, walked out of the shadows directly, and handed a scroll to Haneda Kazuyo with a normal expression.

After all, it is rare for the entire ninja world to find that these people who are not relatives look alike, or even exactly the same. After confirming that they are not the same person, this ANBU obviously adjusted his emotions immediately.

After all, he is one of the most elite ninjas in Konoha. If he couldn't do this, he would have died long ago.

Konoha has also been destroyed long ago.

"There are only seven days, no, six days left before the Chuunin Exams. Please send a letter back as soon as possible so that the participants can come over."

As the scroll was handed out, as if because of the similar face, the ANBU ninja suddenly spoke softly and softly.

"Yes! I understand, thank you!"

Upon hearing this, Kazuyo Haneda put away the scroll and bowed with reason.

"So……"

In response, the ANBU ninja responded with a salute. After all, the person facing him was the envoy of Kusakure Village, so the due respect was still necessary, and the person facing him was so polite.

Then, in the midst of this sound, the ANBU raised his fingers, and with the sudden sound of wind, his figure disappeared into the air.

really……

No?

And at the moment of leaving, the ANBU ninja couldn't help but look at the young man again, but after all, he was just disappointed in his heart.

"Are you a participant..."

And watching the ANBU ninja leave, the emotion on Haneda Kazuyo's face slowly began to fade away. Although he was still smiling, there was nothing in his eyes and mouth.

No feelings, no emotions!

"That situation has already been considered, and the person is already on his way!"

Then, with an emotionless expression, he said calmly.
