Slurp Slurp
Izuna, Sasuke, and Naruto are slurping their ran.
"So, good! Ichiraku Ran is the best out there. Dattebyo!" Naruto praises the ran.
"Not bad. I like this ran." Sasuke complints the ran.
"Yes, it is very good, and Teuchi-san takes care of every fine detail when preparing the ran. The correct amount of broth, the flavor, the nutrition. He has got you covered in all aspects." Izuna remarks while slurping his ran.
Hun hun
Teuchi nods in satisfaction. His nine-year-old daughter walks out of the house.
"Oh! Aya my daughter. Sit near the counter. I will teach you how to make ran later."
Aya sits near the counter and watches us.
"Teuchi-san! She is your daughter!" I question Teuchi despite knowing the fact.
"Yes, she is my little daughter. Her mother passed away shortly after her birth." Teuchi reminisces his past and sighs in grief.
"Teuchi-san! Why don't you enroll Aya in Ninja academy?" I question him.
I am curious to know the reason why Aya never entered the academy.
Sigh...
"She is not cut to be a ninja. My wife's last wish was to ensure a secure future for our daughter. Aya is just like her mother. She is kind-hearted, quiet, and cheerful. I want her to stay that way and besides, after my retirent, she will take care of my Ran shop." Teuchi replies.
"So, that's how it is." I nod to him and continue eating my ran.
'Guess everyone wants to live a peaceful life.'
"Seconds give a second bowl. Dattebyo!" Naruto raises the empty bowl.
"Eat slowly Naruto, you can eat all you want. But eat slowly." Izuna reprimands Naruto.
"But it is so delicious. I can't stop eating, Dattebyo!" Naruto continues to inhale his ran.
"This boy!" Izuna shakes his head.
"Do you know your big brother Izuna is the first person to eat this heavenly Ran?" Izuna points out to Naruto.
"Wow! Really. That's so cool, Izuna nii-san. Tell more about it." Naruto's interest piques.
He slows down his eating and curiously looks at Izuna to listen to his story.
"It was around six years ago when Ichiraku Ran celebrated its Grand Opening Ceremony. I was the first custor in the shop. I lined up early in the morning to eat the ran before anyone else. It was also during this mont that Minato-san, your fath" Izuna pauses for a while before he continues.
"The Fourth Hokage invited on a mission."
"Wow! Big brother, you went on a mission with Fourth Hokage. But what is a Hokage? It sounds so cool. Dattebyo!" Naruto looks at Izuna with sparkling eyes.
"The Hokage is the strongest and the most respected Ninja of the village. All loves him and everyone respects him and follows his orders." Izuna explains to Naruto.
"Wow! That sounds so cool. I will also beco a hot shit!... Whatever it is. Then everyone in the village will respect and won't shun away." Naruto raises his fist in the air.
"Ok! Ok! Hokage-sama. Now eat your ran before it gets cold. If you want to beco a Hokage, then you will have to train hard to get stronger than everyone else. I will train you in the future. For now, eat your Ran."
"Yay! Izuna nii-san will teach jutsu. Dattebyo!" Naruto eats his ran.
I feel a sharp stare at my back. I turn around and notice Sasuke staring at . He pouts and questions,
"Izuna nii-san, you will teach jutsu to this dumb Naruto, but you won't teach anything. I also want to learn jutsu." Sasuke complains.
"Sasuke! I already taught you Fireball Jutsu. Have you mastered it yet? I will teach you your next jutsu only after you have mastered the previous one."
"I have already mastered Fireball Jutsu. I impressed father by my jutsu. Now teach more jutsu." Sasuke demands.
"Ok! Ok! I will teach you later. You can ask Shisui to teach you more jutsu. He will teach you more. Once you have mastered all of his jutsus, I will train you further."
"Yay! You are the best Izuna Nii-san." Sasuke cheers up.
Achoo
Itachi sneezes while returning ho.
'Why I have a feeling that my cute little brother is getting away from ? I must buy a gift for him. The other day Sasuke asked to buy him a tanto. I will buy a small blade for him as a gift.'
Itachi flickers towards the weapon shop.
---------------
Later in the evening,
Izuna drops Sasuke at his house and visits Senju compounds with Naruto. Tsunade greets him at doorsteps.
"It has been a while kid, you finally got so ti to visit ."
"I am ho, Granny Tsunade," Naruto shouts to Tsunade.
Tsunade flicks Naruto's forehead in response.
"Who are you calling granny, you brat? I am still too young to be a granny."
Naruto rubs his forehead and runs inside the house.
"Kid, we need to talk. Let's visit the newly opened Yakiniku Q Restaurant. I heard that their salted beef tongue with welsh onion is quite popular among the villagers. I wanted to try so with Sake." Tsunade drags Izuna without asking for his consent.
Izuna could only helplessly get dragged by Tsunade. They enter Yakiniku Q and grab a table. Yakiniku Q is a Korean, Gy-Kaku style Yakiniku restaurant.
Soon, we placed our order, and they brought the at to us. I cook the at on the charcoal brazier placed at the center of the table.
The aromatic sll of cooked at caused to drool. I applied so sauce on the at and grilled it for a while. I cook the at to perfection. I picked up my chopsticks to grab the at.
Swish
Tsunade grabbed the at before and put it in her mouth.
Munch munch
"Delicious. This is too delicious. Your cooking skills are quite good, kid." Tsunade continued to eat.
Humph
I angrily harrumphed at her.
"If you like at this much, then cook your own." Izuna place another piece of at on the grill.
Tsunade chugs down one cup of sake after another.
Haa
She gulped down another cup of sake and looked at Izuna, who is silently munching on a piece of at.
"Say it, kid. Earlier you were searching for . Shizune told about it. What do you want to say to ?"
Izuna place down his chopstick and thought of pranking Tsunade. He wants payback for the earlier piece of at.
Izuna grabs Tsunade's hand and looks in her eyes with a serious expression.
Tsunade is startled by this sudden move and turns red from embarrassnt.
"What what are you doing?" She stutters.
"Tsunade-san! It has been a while since we have known each other. The ti we spent together has made think differently about you. I have called you today to express my feelings for you."
Tsunade gulps down her saliva and embarrassedly looks at Izuna while fidgeting,
"No this is not possible. Our relationship can't exist, you you are a lot younger than and I...I had already given my heart to soone else. But but"
"Thank you, Tsunade-san, for taking care of Naruto. He is like a younger brother to and I am grateful to you for looking after him. Huh! Tsunade-san, what were you saying again"
Izuna smirks at Tsunade.
"I heard sothing about love. Tsunade-san, do you love ? But aren't you too old for ?"
Tsunade's expression turns ugly.
'I have been played by this kid.'
A tick mark appears on her forehead and she punches Izuna. Izuna takes the punch like a man and gets blasted out from Restaurant much further than Team Rocket.
"Damn! This kid. He played again. Now, I have to pay the bill for the window, roof and there is also the bill."
Tsunade pulls out her purse and opens it.
Buzzz
A fly buzzes out from the purse. Tsunade takes out a note from the purse and places it on the table.
'Damn! I don't have money anymore. I have spent all of it on booze and gambling. Why there is so much less money for ? I have to borrow so from Sensei. He is Hokage and would have plenty of money to spare.'
"Here! Keep this money as the expense for the roof, window, and the bill. Keep the change."
The waiter picks up the old tattered note and looks at Tsunade.
"I hate to break it you, but you need to pay more. This amount won't cut it out. Your dinner was way more expensive. The at was of premium quality and we used various expensive ingredients to prepare the sauce."
"Damn! You Izuna." Tsunade curse again.
"Here! Send this bill to Konoha's leaf Hospital. They will take care of it." Tsunade hurriedly runs out of the restaurant.
"Huh! Can't afford the expensive food and boast around like they freaking own everything." The server angrily curses at Tsunade.
Achoo
Izuna sneezes and looks towards Yakiniku Q. He spots an angry Tsunade stomping out of the restaurant.
"Hello! Tsunade-san. How was the food? Did you enjoy it?"
He smirks at Tsunade.
"You kid." Tsunade tries to punch him again, but this ti he dodges her attacks.
"Fine! I give up. You are so an, Izuna-kun. You won't get a girlfriend like this." Tsunade complains and puffs her cheeks.
Izuna pokes her cheeks and apologizes.
"I am sorry! Tsunade-san. As an apology, here take these million Ryo. That's all that I have at the mont."
Swish
Before Izuna could finish his statent, Tsunade grabs the bundle of money and starts to count it.
"-....-"
Izuna speechlessly looks at Tsunade. Tsunade stows the money in her purse and stares back at Izuna.
"Apology accepted. Now tell the real reason, why you were looking for ?"
Izuna stares at her for a while before he continues.
