The granddaughter of the Third Tsuchikage, descendant of the First Tsuchikage was fuming in anger, anger which was caused by a small kid, literally half her age. She couldn"t catch him at all…
She had catched several of his Shadow Clones, but none of them were his original body, who was eating ramen at a Ramen Stand, literally ten meters away from her. She finally noticed him and neared him.
"Finally catched you… brat." She took a seat and growled, she was staring at him, if looks could kill people, then Ryu would be dead over ten times. However, he was too absorbed into the ramen to take notice of her.
"You finally did find my real body, nice job, Kuro." Ryu yawned as he finished his eleventh bowl of ramen, making the Iwa Kunoichi sweat. " I was getting really bored waiting for you to find me." He said.
Kurotsuchi slammed her hand into the table,"Oi, why are you calling me that, and stop sounding like you are a f.u.c.king Sage, you brat." She scowled and tried to pinch his ears, but failed to do so.
"Stop,Kuro, you are making a bad example for aspiring kunoichis and shin.o.bis, you don"t want that, do you?" Ryu yawned as he ordered another bowl of ramen to eat, p.i.s.sing the kunoichi even further.
Kurotsuchi took a deep breath, she couldn"t allow herself to get p.i.s.sed at a boy for no reason, she was a kunoichi for G.o.d"s sake.
"So really… A boy like you is here for the Chunin Exam? Did Konoha start lowering the quality of shin.o.bis, and increasing quant.i.ty recently or what?" Kurotsuchi joked with a chuckle as she ordered her own ramen bowl.
Ryu smirked,"No, it"s just that I"m awesome, and going to become a Chunin at 8, Jounin at 9 and the Elite Jounin at 10! At least that is my plan for the future." Kurotsuchi started to laugh again,"Man, you really are amusing!"
"Your grandpa is really a bully, just like you! Iwa is a bunch of bullies! Bullies! No wonder Konoha and Iwa don"t have good relationships!" Ryu started to pout in anger,faking his expression.
Kurotsuchi this time, ruffled his hair, successfully doing so, because the boy was tired of dodging her attempts. A bit of a touch wouldn"t hurt him at all. Besides he was too busy savoring the Iwa Ramen.
"My grandfather is not a bully, he just has a bad relation with some certain Konoha Shin.o.bis like for example…" Kurotsuchi frowned. Ryu"s curiosity peaked,"For example?"
"Madara Uchiha, my grandfather is the only active Kage to have ever seen Madara fight before. He always says he was a powerful figure, who despite being arrogant had the power to back it up." The kunoichi said.
"Not to mention the fact that Konoha did a lot of damage to Iwa, your father, Minato stopped over a thousand Iwa Shin.o.bi, and did a lot of small attacks with ambushes on our army in the Third Shin.o.bi Great war." Kurotsuchi said as she finished the ramen bowl.
Ryu took his thirteenth ramen bowl and devoured it,"But that was years ago, let bygones be bygones.We need to move into the future. You can"t be thinking about wars, thirty years later. Besides, Iwa damaged Konoha a lot too." He said. As he continued devouring even more ramen bowls...
Kurotsuchi chuckled,"You expect me to listen to you, a eight year old brat? Go cry to your mom, kid." Ryu rolled his eyes,"Yeah... Whatever you want,Kuro. I need to leave now, my teammates are probably worried about me." He said and got up and pointed at Kuro, and the owner smirked.
Ryu left, leaving Kurotsuchi along. The girl rolled her eyes and slowly got up, but was stopped by the owner who had his other hand released in the form of a palm, demanding payment. She sweated.
"RYU!"
She had been sucked dry by this payment. A Ramen Bowl costed around 250 Ryo, Ryu ate over 17 bowls of Ramen, a total of 4250 Ryo, and also 750 Ryo for her own 3 Ramen Bowls… A total of 5000 Ryo.
She growled, that didn"t take much money, but it was still a lot of money, for a total stranger that is. She"d make him pay… When she saw him again, yep. That would make her pain lessen a bit.
Ken rolled his eyes, as he noticed that his friend was not at his bed, not in their room, and clearly not close to this Stone Night Hotel. He probably was exploring Iwa right now. He always brought problems to them…
"Troublesome…" A certain Nara sneezed.
Yato had also woken up, and he was reading a book about the experiences of a jounin in the second and third great shin.o.bi war. It was a quite popular book, but the author himself had died several years before, due to old age.
It was a shame too.
Hayate and Yugao were out, having a couple walk. Yamato was busy, reading a scroll about the Wood Style. Ken groaned, he was the only one of his team that was doing absolutely nothing with his time.
" I guess I"ll go to the backyard of this hotel and try to use my EMS… Hopefully no one will notice me as it"s quite early" Ken thought and nodded to himself, but Ryu entered the room and interrupted his plans.
"What are you guys doing?! Missed me?! I was busy with a date with a beautiful girl from Iwa!" Ryu grinned as he appeared in front of his team with a laughter. He received glares of angriness by his teammates.
"Shut up Ryu. Mind explaining why you thought it was a good idea to just leave us here, without a warning, and go explore a land you"ve never been in and is possibly dangerous to you, right Ryu?" Ken said with a growl.
"Aww,Ken, I had a meeting with this beautiful girl who I call Kuro. I think she was a pretty important figure in this village, we had a nice hide and seek game and then we ate ramen together!" Ryu said cheerfully.
Yato just sighed at the stupid att.i.tude of his friend,"Really… How many times will this be repeated? I"m getting tired of it… Just be smart for one time in your life, Ryu." He thought and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
