Konoha's dog is happy

The entrance to the City of Fire.

After leaving the capital city gate, Saitama and the other three people all looked back at the largest city in the Land of Fire.

Even after staying in this big city for three days, I still feel a little lingering about this city.

Food, entertainment, scenery, monuments, etc., everything about this city makes them amazed and unforgettable.

But no matter how good they were, they knew it was time to leave.

It has been more than a month since the three of them came out.

A bunch of Saitama's shadow clones have been spreading rumors for more than half a month.

As for his work attitude, it is incomparable to his body that is still wandering outside.

The three of them gathered their spirits, took the specialties of the Fire City, and set off on their way home.

Because Konoha wanted to defend the capital, the distance between the two places was actually not that far apart.

The three of them returned to Konoha in less than three days.

The gate of Konoha Village.

"Haha, I, Iruka, am finally back."

The excitement of returning home made Iruka shout loudly, which also attracted the two gatekeeper ninjas to look at him.

Of the three people standing at the gate, Saitama was the calmest one.

When he was outside, he had thought about whether he should just leave and never come back.

Unfortunately, he didn't have the answer in his mind.

He had always prioritized his own life, but he actually felt that breaking up with Konoha might be the best plan.

But when he thought that he would probably never return to that small shop or the small home where he had lived for more than four years, he felt a little more melancholy.

He didn't know if he couldn't let go of that place, or if he couldn't let go of the people in that place.

In short, this time he did not have a clear answer like before.

Saitama, who didn't want to be sentimental, followed his feelings and followed Iruka all the way back to Konoha.

This was one of the rare times when his sensibility triumphed over his reason.

But now that he is back here again, this place has always made him live cautiously.

Then everything will remain as usual

When I returned to the store, I felt very happy to see this brand new Ichiraku Ramen shop that I had built by myself.

After asking Azono to give gifts to all the employees in the store, Saitama took out the gifts he had prepared for Tate and Iris.

Chang Pu had been standing aside watching A Yuan hand out gifts, but found that there was no gift for him.

She was a little unhappy, but she quickly became curious when she saw Saitama took out two gift boxes from the backpack on the side.

"Saitama-kun, is this a gift you prepared for me and dad?"

"Well, this one is for you."

Saitama said as he handed a beautifully wrapped and kawaii gift box to Iris.

"I bought this in the capital. Most of the girls there like this."

"I don't know if you like it. You can take it apart and see for yourself."

"Thank you. As long as it's from Saitama-kun, I like it no matter what it is."

Calamus happily took the gift box, smiling with a little blush on her face.

Calamus picked up the gift box, ran to his cashier excitedly, and hurriedly opened the gift.

"Wow, so cute"

After seeing the gift, Iris started dancing happily.

What Saitama gave to Iris was a cat plush toy, which was the protagonist Umeko Hyozaburo in the recently released Neko Ninja.

This movie was released after Saitama left the village. It was extremely popular in the Fire City and attracted a lot of girls.

Dolls and plush toys of the film's protagonist, Umeko Hyozaburo, are selling extremely well.

Saitama waited in line for most of the day to buy this stuffed toy.

Seeing Iris's reaction and the girl employees who quickly squeezed past, he knew that this movie must be very popular in Konoha.

After seeing that Iris liked the gift he gave, Saitama didn't care about her anymore.

Instead, he took the hand-made gift box and came to his ramen area.

"Uncle Hand Beat, this is the gift I bought for you."

Saitama said as he handed over the gift box in his hand.

"Oh"

"I didn't expect you to buy me a gift."

Although I didn’t think much of the hand spanking, I was still very happy.

You know, he is already an uncle in his 30s, so how can he expect any gifts like those young employees.

"Disassemble it now"

I'm not sure what it is by hand, and I don't know if I can take it apart now.

"Uncle, you can tear it down whenever you want."

After Saitama finished speaking, he still stood where he was.

He knew that he would be tempted to open it and take a look. This is human nature's curiosity.

Especially gifts from others.

People who receive gifts can't help but be curious about what's inside the gift box, and want to open it quickly to take a look.

Even if it's an uncle like this, it's the same.

really

Within a minute, I just put down the gift box and picked it up again.

In fact, it wasn't because he was really curious about the gift, it was because Saitama was staring at him and he felt a little embarrassed.

Under Saitama's gaze, he opened the gift box completely within a few seconds, revealing a brand new book.

The Encyclopedia of Ramen in the Ninja World, this is the name of this book, written by Mr. Orika, a famous food critic in the Ninja World.

This book was created after she spent 20 years traveling around the ninja world and eating all kinds of special ramen. It has only been published and sold for three months.

Of course, she must have eaten more than just ramen in the past 20 years.

In fact, in addition to this book, she also published a lot of other types of food books.

What about the encyclopedia of Ninja Barbecue, the encyclopedia of Ninja Drinks, the encyclopedia of Ninja Sushi, the encyclopedia of Ninja Desserts, etc.

And there is also a collection, the Encyclopedia of Ninja World Food.

Saitama estimated that there must be a talented team behind this food critic.

The most important thing is that there must be a wealthy foodie sponsor, otherwise it would not be possible to publish so many books at the same time.

But even if she published so many books at the same time, the sales were still very high.

Saitama, who works in the catering industry, also bought a complete set of eight books.

He also roughly browsed through these books, which recorded various special delicacies that Orika had eaten when he came to Konoha a few years ago, including the hand-made special pork bone ramen.

Orika also praised his good craftsmanship and the ramen was very chewy.

Tonkotsu ramen used to be a hand-made specialty ramen, but it was changed to bone soup ramen by Saitama. There are almost no pork bones anymore, mainly because it is not cost-effective.

Pork bones have little meat to begin with, and they are quite expensive. Customers always say that there is too little meat and they are not satisfying to eat.

Shandai is also a very thoughtless person. As long as the customers ask for something, he will add more pork bones to the customers, which results in very low profits.

So later, Saitama directly split his signature ramen.

This also happened not long after the Ichiraku attack plan started. Saitama and Teida discussed it for a long time before getting the agreement.

At that time, some hands couldn't stand the pressure of giving out free vouchers, so they had no choice but to agree to Saitama's idea and split his signature ramen.

If you want to enjoy eating meat, just order the spareribs ramen.

If you don’t have much money and want to taste meat, you can order bone broth ramen.

If you really want to eat pork bone ramen, it’s not impossible, but you’ll have to pay extra.

The cost of pork bones is already high, and bones account for a large part. If you want to eat more meat, sorry, you have to pay a high price.

Because the large portion of pork bone ramen is even more expensive than beef ramen, Saitama does not put it on the menu.

Now that he has seen this encyclopedia of ramen in the Ninja world and is ready to raise the price again, Saitama decided to add this tonkotsu ramen to the menu again.

When the time comes, those who can afford it will eat it, and those who can’t afford it, don’t be so shameless as to add more pork bones and more meat.

Saitama liked the book quite a lot and left.

He was going to visit the kitchen where he had been away for a long time.

When I came to the kitchen, I was very pleased to see that my three apprentices had already started their daily work after receiving the gifts.

Their methodical work did not relax after receiving the gift.

Saitama felt that he no longer had to worry about the kitchen and could leave the place to the three of them.

"Ahu, Ayan, Aqing"

"You two have done a great job. From now on, the three of you will be the chefs."

Saitama told them happily with a smile.

"Teacher Saitama, are you going to ignore the kitchen from now on?"

Suddenly hearing Saitama's voice, Ahu, who was chopping vegetables, quickly stopped what he was doing.

"Well, you're out now"

Saitama smiled and nodded, not forgetting to give them instructions.

"I will only come here once a week from now on. I hope you won't be lazy."

"We will work hard and we will never be lazy."

Ahu put down the kitchen knife, patted his chest and promised.

As soon as Ahu finished expressing his position, Ayan and Aqing also responded quickly.

"Yes, we will live up to your expectations, teacher."

"Very well, you can continue working. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."

As soon as he finished speaking, Saitama left the kitchen without looking back.

He was going to systematically organize the records of A Yuan's impressions of the food they had eaten in the past month or so.

Although he left the village under the guise of doing market research, it doesn't mean he really doesn't take it seriously.

He really hopes to open Ichiraku Ramen to the entire ninja world in the future.

Now that Ayuan has made so many records, she still needs to sort them out.

I want to see which places are suitable for Yile to open a branch.
