NOVEL WEB Chapter 5: Ichiraku Ramen
In the morning course, the teacher taught some theoretical lessons.
This was of no use to Uchiha Chiba.
He simply imitated Nara Shikaku, who was sitting behind him, and fell asleep directly at his desk.
As for the idea of imitating Itachi to use Shadow Clone to skip class, that was banned after being caught by Uchiha Genka once before.
Unlike the typical Uchiha, Uchiha Genka wanted Uchiha Chiba to make more friends at school.
According to Uchiha Genka, using Shadow Clone to skip class would make Uchiha Chiba withdrawn because he would have no friends.
After the Shadow Clone is released, the memory returns to the original body.
However, Uchiha believed that a memory cannot compare to personal experience.
She just wanted her children to grow up happily and didn't care whether her children were geniuses or not.
As long as they could grow up healthy, that was fine.
On the podium, looking at the two people sleeping below, the teacher couldn't help but sigh. Uchiha, Nara—both were from Konoha's prestigious families.
He also knew that the knowledge he was explaining was a bit shallow for children from these big families.
Just sleep, as long as you don't disturb the other students.
After all, he was just an ordinary teacher teaching theoretical classes.
Although these students were not a worry, fortunately, the students in this class would graduate in one year.
Then he wouldn't have to worry so much.
...
"Ding-a-ling, jingle-a-ling."
"Well, is school over?"
Hearing the familiar school bell, Uchiha Chiba, who had already formed muscle memory for it, woke up instantly.
Then he turned to look at Akamichi Choza: "Choza, let's go, let's go have lunch."
Akamichi Choza stood up immediately after hearing this, "Let's go. What are we going to eat today? How about ramen? There is a new ramen shop nearby. I heard it is very delicious."
"Okay, let's go."
Because both of them were big eaters, their families did not prepare lunch boxes for them but gave them money to eat out at noon.
As soon as the hungry two people left school, they headed toward the ramen shop impatiently.
Fortunately, the ramen shop was not far from the school. They could reach their destination just by crossing a street.
But when he saw the name of the ramen shop, Uchiha Chiba was stunned for a moment.
Ichiraku Ramen?
Uchiha Chiba did not expect that he would travel to this timeline, which was still decades away from the beginning of the Hokage plot.
He could actually see the place where the senior time traveler and the Hokage would come to check in.
"Chiba, what's wrong with this ramen shop?"
Discovering that Uchiha Chiba had been staring at the sign of the ramen shop, Akamichi Choza was a little curious.
Uchiha Chiba shook his head, "Nothing, I just think the name of this ramen shop is quite special."
Of course, Uchiha Chiba would not say that there is a hidden boss of the Ōtsutsuki clan in this ramen shop, commonly known as 'Ōtsutsuki Ichiraku' ((๑>ڡ<)☆)
Of course, this is just a joke played by netizens.
However, after experiencing the Night of Nine Tails, Orochimaru's plan to destroy Konoha, Pain's invasion, and other disasters that affected the entire Konoha Village, Ichiraku was still safe.
Uchiha Chiba could only say that Ichiraku's luck was comparable to that of the red-nosed clown next door.
"Ichiraku Ramen, it's a very normal name. What's so special about it?"
Akamichi Choza was very puzzled, but he didn't ask any more questions and ran quickly toward Ichiraku Ramen.
"Chiba, come on, I'm starving."
Hearing this, Uchiha Chiba no longer thought too much and followed Akamichi Choza footsteps into Ichiraku Ramen.
After Uchiha looked around the store, he found that apart from the customers eating noodles, there were only the boss who was cooking the noodles and a kid who was wiping the dishes.
"Welcome, what do you two want to eat?"
Ichiraku Teuchi looked at the two young guests who had come in and asked with a smile.
After sitting down and looking at the menu on the wall, Uchiha Chiba quickly made a decision.
"Five bowls of tonkotsu ramen and five bowls of barbecued pork noodles."
"That, me too."
Akamichi Choza, who was still struggling with what to eat, stopped thinking about it when he heard Uchiha Chiba had already ordered the meal.
After Uchiha Chiba finished speaking, he continued.
After hearing the seemingly impossible orders from Uchiha Chiba and Akamichi Choza, Ichiraku Teuchi was stunned for a moment, and then began to wonder if he was hearing hallucinations.
What did these two kids say? Ten bowls of ramen per person?
The guests who were dining on the side also stopped when they heard this number and looked up at the two people on the left.
"Kid, it's a blessing to be able to eat, but it would be shameful to waste it."
Uchiha Chiba curled his lips, and he admitted that the eater uncle was right, but the stranger's preaching still made him a little unhappy.
"Uncle, does it matter to you whether I can eat so much? It didn't cost you anything."
"It really has nothing to do with me, but I don't want to waste food."
"I haven't eaten yet, do you know that I will waste food?"
Uchiha Chiba saw this and responded unceremoniously.
"Oh, even me as an adult can only eat two bowls at most in one meal, let alone you two brats."
Seeing this strange diner insisting on arguing with him, Uchiha Chiba was not used to it.
"Okay, how about we make a bet? If I can finish the meal, you will pay for it on my behalf."
"Okay, but what if you don't finish eating? Since it's a bet, you have to have corresponding betting funds, right?"
The uncle diner glanced at Uchiha Chiba and said calmly.
Uchiha Chiba nodded, "Well, indeed. Let's do that. I just checked, a bowl of ramen is 80 taels, and the total of 10 bowls of ramen is 800 taels."
"If I don't finish the meal, I'll pay for it myself, and I'll give you another 1,000 taels. How about it, uncle? Do you dare to accept this bet?"
Akamichi Choza on the side reminded in a low voice, "Chiba, is it bad for you to do this? We are still children and cannot gamble."
"Your friend is right. Children really shouldn't gamble. Since you are so confident, let's do it. If you can finish 10 bowls of ramen, I'll pay for it."
"But if you can't finish it, I'll still pay for it, but you have to apologize to me and promise never to waste food again."
"So, this condition isn't too much, right?"
The uncle diner thought about it and realized that there was really no need to embarrass a child.
"Uncle, it's no problem. I agree to your terms."
Uchiha Chiba smiled and gave the diner a thumbs up.
Uchiha Chiba didn't expect to have a free lunch today, and his mental image of the uncle who treated him to a meal immediately changed a lot.
Ichiraku Teuchi looked at his uncle first, then at Uchiha Chiba and Akamichi Dingza.
"Two guests, are you sure you want to order so much?"
"Yes, that's right. Each of us has 10 bowls each. Don't worry, we have a lot of food and we won't waste it."
"Yeah, that's right." Akamichi Choza nodded.
After confirming that he had no auditory hallucinations, he turned to greet the boy: "Hands on, pour tea for the two guests."
Then he said to Uchiha Chiba and Akamichi Choza, "You two, wait a moment. I'm going to cook noodles for you."
"Okay, father." A musician who was washing the dishes immediately put down his work when he heard his father's greeting.
He immediately poured two cups of tea and placed them in front of the two of them.
"Two guests, please."
Hand beating?
This kid with squinting eyes is the one who will be nicknamed by netizens as 'Ōtsutsuki Ichiraku'?
After carefully looking at the musician in front of him, Uchiha Chiba realized that this was just an ordinary person.
It is said that anyone with squinting eyes is a monster, but the title of monster obviously had nothing to do with the person in front of him.
...
Soon, as the boss kept serving ramen, bowl after bowl of ramen went into Uchiha Chiba's belly.
The uncle who was calm at first became louder and louder.
Damn it, are all the kids these days so good at eating?
"Hiccup... uncle, please pay."
Uchiha Chiba looked at the diner provocatively after finishing the last bowl of ramen.
The already sluggish uncle heard Uchiha Chiba's reminder and subconsciously took out his wallet.
Then he took out 900 taels and handed it to Ichiraku Teuchi.
On the side, Akamichi Choza, who finished eating a little slower than Uchiha Chiba, also took out 800 taels and handed it over.
"Boss, here, this is my meal money."
"Thank you for your patronage." Ichiraku Teuchi took the money and asked for change for the uncle.
The uncle diner who came back to his senses laughed loudly: "Haha, kid, you are really awesome. I apologize for what I just said."
Uchiha Chiba smiled: "It doesn't matter. I forgive you, uncle."
"Here, guest, here is your money."
Just when Ichiraku Teuchi handed the change to the diner uncle,
Uchiha Chiba took advantage of this gap and quickly took out 800 taels from his wallet and slapped it on the table. Then, he immediately ran out of Ichiraku Ramen with Akamichi Choza.
