Undercurrent of Konoha

"Spiritual Ring: Has a weak nourishing effect on the spirit (can be upgraded)"

Putting on this ring, Heiji felt refreshed and his mind was clearer and calmer than ever before.

Some mysteries that were previously difficult to solve gradually became clear in my mind.

Why was the top secret of the powerful Konoha Hidden Village, the Forbidden Technique Scroll, so easily stolen by a naughty boy like Uzumaki Naruto?

Why can hostile forces infiltrate Konoha so easily?

Why were such important events as Mizuki's death and Naruto's theft of the forbidden scroll scroll so strangely left unanswered?

What is revealed behind all these doubts seems to be extremely obvious.

Heiji had broken out in a cold sweat and hurriedly returned to his residence.

Curling up in this small, dark, yet neat and cozy nest, Heiji was like a frightened bird, unable to help but tremble.

At this moment, Heiji suddenly realized that as a ninja, he was like walking on a wire rope on a cliff.

If a gust of evil wind blows from any direction, or if you accidentally lose your footing and step on the air, you will fall off the cliff, leaving no trace of your body.

Heiji lay on the bed, his body gradually relaxed, and he unconsciously touched the ring on the little finger of his left hand, and his whole body calmed down again.

"Child, you are too weak now..."

Jiraiya's voice echoed in his mind over and over again.

Because he is weak, Heiji has been bullied by children his own age and even younger children since he was a child.

Because he was weak, Heiji waited for 12 years just to wait for this opportunity to reveal the truth to Uzumaki Naruto in advance. Then with the help of Naruto's violent power, he killed the traitorous ninja Mizuki, thus awakening chakra and becoming a ninja. A true ninja.

But now, Heiji is still so weak in this ninja world. Just a little carelessness will lead to disaster.

Sure enough, being weak is the original sin...

Heiji came to the tall dressing mirror, looked at the handsome young man in the mirror, and began to practice various hand seals quickly.

If someone stood aside, they would be surprised to find that the seal gestures Heiji is practicing are all A-level ninjutsu.

There are even some seal gestures that even the Jounin of Konoha have never seen...

From the simple and honest Uzumaki Naruto, it is easy to copy most of the ninjutsu on the forbidden jutsu scroll.

However, Heiji's method of copying these forbidden techniques was not paper and pen, but his own brain.

Paper and pen will leave stupid evidence, only memory is the safest and most reliable.

The premise is that he was not forced to use ninjutsu to explore his brain by a ninja who specializes in interrogation.

However, the operation was as fierce as a tiger, but the chakra in the body remained unmoved.

Heiji sighed softly, and used his consciousness to slowly condense the chakra to the tip of his finger. Then he took out a shuriken from the backpack behind him, pinched both ends with his fingers and gently twisted it.

"Ka-cha!"

A shuriken that had been refined in the blacksmith shop was actually broken into two pieces by Heiji's slender fingers.

The fracture is smooth and smooth, just like a knife cutting it.

"In this case, we can only spend all our time and energy on practicing physical skills..."

After washing his face with cold water, Heiji became more energetic.

Except for the fact that my stomach started growling again, I was in excellent condition both mentally and physically.

"Heiji-kun, are you...are you at home?"

The door opened.

Hinata Hinata stood timidly at the door, holding the corners of her clothes involuntarily with her hands.

Heiji was slightly disappointed when he saw that the other party had empty hands.

"Heiji-kun, have you had dinner..."

"Cuckoo-!"

His stomach growled extremely unsatisfactorily, and Heiji smiled awkwardly.

"Ichiraku Ramen has launched a new super-large limited-time challenge barbecued pork ramen. Are you willing...are you willing to accompany me..."

"Is it the kind where you get a free meal if you eat it within the specified time?"

Heiji's eyes suddenly lit up, and his whole person instantly became energetic.

……

A ramen shop.

Heiji looked at the bowl of extra-large barbecued pork ramen in front of him, which was half an inch deeper and an inch wider than a large iron basin, and felt that he had been tricked by the seemingly honest and honest uncle Ichiraku.

This bowl of ramen weighs 15 kilograms of noodles alone, and the portion of barbecued pork also reaches a terrifying 5 kilograms.

And 30 soft-boiled eggs, a mountain of cabbage...

This portion is far beyond the limit of human appetite.

Akimichi Choji looked at the oversized bowl of ramen in front of him and was a little confused.

Hinata Hinata sat there calmly, neither happy nor sad.

"Uncle...if you can't finish the meal within an hour, you have to pay the price, right?"

Heiji's voice trembled slightly.

Uncle Yile smiled honestly.

"Yes, this bowl is the equivalent of 30 servings of ordinary ramen. You need to pay 15000 taels."

"If you can't finish eating, can you take it away..."

"Of course! But, Heiji, the game hasn't started yet, how can you be discouraged! I believe in you, come on! Come on!"

Uncle Ichiraku's daughter Iris, wearing a spotless white scarf, was also smiling and cheering for Heiji.

"The first Ichiraku Ramen Big Eater Challenge is about to begin! If you finish a super large portion of ramen within the specified time, you can enjoy a free order! The champion will also receive a quarterly coupon issued by Ichiraku Ramen Store, and all ramen in the store will be % off at that time !”

"Boom--!"

The drumstick hit the gong hard, making a crisp sound.

Hinata Hinata, Akimichi Choji and Heiji all started to eat.

After eating only about one-fifth of the food, Heiji raised the white flag in despair and gritted his teeth to pay 15000 taels.

(The commissions and rewards earned from doing tasks these days have all been pocketed by the seemingly honest and honest Uncle Yile. Sure enough, to survive in this world, you must not judge people by their appearance...)

The peak showdown between Hyuga Hinata and Akimichi Choji has just begun.

For a long time, Akimichi Choji found it hard to believe that the white-eyed little girl in front of him, who was weak and weak and seemed to have no strength to speak, could actually eat more than he did.

This is absolutely a naked provocation and a great shame for Akimichi Choji, who is consistent on the outside and inside!

From the beginning, Akimichi Choji showed his amazing courage. He ate large pieces of barbecued pork and soft-poached eggs from the big bowl like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

Hinata Hinata, on the other hand, looked like she was chewing her food carefully. She took a bite of ramen and a bite of cabbage slowly, then took a bite of barbecued pork and stuffed a soft-boiled egg.

Choji glanced at Hinata beside him and was secretly happy. He could be said to be in an absolute leading position and had already eaten about one-third of the entire bowl of ramen.

Hinata Hinata, on the other hand, only ate at most one-fifth of the portion.

"This time, I must prove myself upright! I, Akimichi Choji, am the well-deserved king of big eaters in the entire Konoha Hidden Village!"
