Ramen.

On the long bar, Kakashi and Asuma were sitting against the wall eating ramen.

Although he can only see Kakashi’s back, with the white silver hair, Kanpū is very sure it is him!

‘But this is not right!’

‘In the plot of the Lost Tower, on the opening day of Ichiraku Ramen, Minato obviously took Akimichi Chōza, Aburame Shibi and Kakashi to the ancient country of Rōran to perform the mission!’

‘Moreover, the ancient country of Rōran is located in the depths of Land of Wind. Firstly, and it takes a month to travel back and forth. If Kakashi follows Minato, it is absolutely impossible for him to appear in Ichiraku Ramen at this time!’

‘Minato didn’t bring Kakashi?’

‘Why?’

Although he is now a little butterfly, his pair of little wings can only affect Shisui, Yui, Iruka and the others who is at his generation at most, ‘How can it affect Minato and Kakashi?’

“Kanpū, what are you thinking, hurry up!”

Iruka pulled Kanpū away.

“Oh oh.”

""

Kanpū came back to his senses and found that Anko and the others have found empty seats, which is the innermost part of Ichiraku Ramen.

They ordered six large bowls of miso ramen, and ordered six crispy radishes. Kanpū, who was not short of money, sat there while his thought is wandering around, as he couldn’t figure out why Kakashi didn’t follow Minato to Rōran.

‘Or, should I just ask Kakashi directly?’

‘But I am not familiar with Kakashi now, and even if I ask, how should I ask?’

‘Why didn’t you follow Minato to the ancient country of Rōran?’

“Kanpū, I always feel that you are thinking about something, what’s wrong?” Tsukasa said as she eat the crispy radish.

“Woof woof~”

The little puppy, Shiramaru, squatted at the corner of the small square table, drooling.

“It’s about mission, nothing major.”

After Kanpū’s thought was interrupted, he took a deep breath, and tried not to let the imagination run wild. He then listened to their interesting stories about the Academy.

“By the way, how is Fatty?”

As he spoke, a round and fat figure suddenly appeared in Kanpū’s mind, it can’t be helped, after all, he hasn’t seen Fatty for a few months, and he kind of miss his classmate, Fatty.

“Kanpū, Fatty hates you to death now.” Anko said with praise, “Now, the entire Academy knows him, and they call him Fatty, and almost no one remembers his real name.”

“Yeah, I saw him muttering your name while gnashing his teeth several times.” Iruka tried to hold back his laugh.

“It’s all Kanpū’s fault for being too bad and giving Fatty such a nickname.” Tsukasa chuckled beside him.

Kanpū wanted to laugh too, but he was already a serious Shinobi, and couldn’t be laughed unbridled like this group of brats, so he coughed slightly and suggested: “Should we go to Futatsu Sushi Restaurant and meet Fatty this afternoon?”

Everyone looks at each other, and said one after another.

“Kanpū, you are getting worse and worse.”

“You’re really unkind.”

“It’s too much!”

Kanpū said with a stern expression: “Then, will you go?”

“Go!”

Iruka and Anko said in unison.

‘Heh, I thought you were better, it turned out you’re just hidden deeper!’

""

Kanpū looked at them contemptuously.

After a while, Teuchi came over with the big bowls of ramen in person.

“Everyone, the ramen is here. If there’s anything you’re dissatisfied with, please feel free to comment.” Teuchi is very enthusiastic.

“Thank you, Teuchi-san.”

Everyone thanked him.

There’s nothing to comment about with Teuchi’s ramen, and it is even more delicious and refreshing with the pickled crispy radish.

Kanpū asked while eating: “Iruka, after Ichiraku Ramen opened, how is Futaki Ramen?”

“The price has dropped!”

Iruka chuckled when he talked about this, “After Teuchi-san opened Ichiraku Ramen, everyone came here to eat ramen because of the secret soup and the affordable price! The business of Futaki Ramen is getting worse and worse, and the boss has no choice but to lower the price, but I heard that even if the price is lowered, everyone would rather come to Ichiraku Ramen to eat.” (T/N: I don’t know how this kind of thing can happen in just one day.)

“The boss of Futaki Ramen is reaping what he had sown.” Izumo rarely spoke, “If he listens to Teuchi-san’s request to reduce the price from the beginning, Teuchi-san will not come out to open Ichiraku Ramen.”

“Ah! There are bugs!”

Tsukasa suddenly screamed, grabbed the little puppy at the corner of the table and dangled it.

“Wu wu…” Shiramaru was shaken a little bit.

“Tsukasa, stop! The dog’s fur has fallen into the ramen!” Kotetsu next to him yelled with a bitter face.

“Woof woof woof~!” Shiramaru was instantly furious when it heard these words: ‘Who are you, a stinky human, looking down on! The first thing I do when I get up every day is to lick my hair, lick myself clean every day, I’m not dirty at all!!’

Seeing dog fur flying around, Kanpū was busy protecting his bowl, and then he found an insect flying on the back of his hand and stopped.

‘This insect… Shikuro-sensei?’

Kanpū instantly understood.

“Everyone, I have to go first.” Kanpū stood up immediately, “There is a mission.”

“Huh? Isn’t today Sunday?”

“There is no Sunday for Shinobi, sorry.”

Kanpū smiled and said, “I’ll go and settle the bill, just eat slowly. We can just meet again next time.”

“Kanpū, pay attention to safety!”

“Goodbye.”

“Woof woof woof~!!!” Shiramaru barked at Kotetsu.

“I’d better change my seat.” Kotetsu hurriedly got up and sat down in Kanpū’s seat.

After paying the bill, Kanpū glanced at the bar against the wall, and saw that Kakashi and Asuma had left.

With a sigh, Kanpū rushed straight towards the Hokage Tower.

…

Arriving at the entrance of Hokage Tower, Shikuro has come back as expected, and Yui and Shisui also arrived one after another.

“Shikuro-sensei, gomenasai.”

Yui bowed her head and apologized as soon as she arrived.

She handed over the scroll that sealed Yuki Kōri’s corpse to a non-Anbu member, and she blamed herself for this.

“Don’t worry. Although that person is not an Anbu, he is still a senior in the village.” Shikuro said.

“Shikuro-sensei, did you catch the Kirigakure’s Shinobi?” Kanpū asked at this moment.

Shikuro tilted his head slightly and said: “This is not something you should ask.”

""

Kanpū was shocked when he saw this: ‘Look at the attitude of this speech. He spoke softly and gently to his niece just now, but he’s talking to me with business-like mannter, stinky Jōnin Instructor, poor review!’

Kanpū silently cursed in his heart, and he suddenly saw a brilliant golden color in the corner of his eyes.

He subconsciously turned his head to look and saw Minato, Chōza, and Shibi coming in from outside.

Kanpū’s pupils shrank when he saw this.

‘It’s not that Minato didn’t take Kakashi to Rōran, but Minato didn’t go there!’

‘But why?’

‘Could it be that I remembered wrongly, and they didn’t go there on the opening day of Ichiraku Ramen?’

‘Or could it be that… the plot has changed because of me?’

A thought flashed through Kanpū’s mind, and he pondered secretly: ‘Minato and the others went to the ancient country of Rōran to protect the Queen of Rōran because Sunagakure’s Missing-nin, Mukade traveled to this era through Ryūmyaku from more than ten years later. He used the Anrokuzan alias to take over the ancient country of Rōran, so the Queen of Rōran sent a letter to Konoha for help!’

‘But what if that Mukade dies in the future?’

The current Kanpū is indeed a small butterfly. No matter how hard he flaps his wings, he will not be able to affect Minato and Kakashi. However, in the future, with Kanpū’s cheat, he will definitely become one of the strongest figures, at that time, as long as he kills that Sunagakure’s Missing-nin, Mukade, then the Ryūmyaku crossing incident will be gone!

Without Mukade crossing here, the ancient country of Rōran will not be held hostage, and the Queen of Rōran will naturally not write to Konoha for help!

In this case, for what reason do Minato, Kakashi and the others have to go to the ancient country of Rōran?

At this moment, Kanpū felt that everything suddenly becomes clear!
