Opening: Minato became my brother

People who love gourmet food are always good at discovering gourmet food.

After Akimichi BBQ, Yuele made another surprising discovery in Konoha, a ramen restaurant with amazing taste, Ichiraku Ramen.

The owner of the ramen shop is called Ichiraku. He is a very gentle person who smiles whenever he sees the diners.

I still remember that when Yuele went there for the first time, he told Yuele about it when they were chatting casually.

My biggest hobby in life is making ramen, and my dream in this life is to make everyone who eats my ramen like it.

.......

That day, Yue Le recommended this restaurant to Shuimen and his group. They sat in the restaurant, ordered food from Yi Le and started chatting.

After a while, two people, one big and one small, suddenly walked into the noodle shop.

As soon as the adult entered the store, he shouted to Ichiraku, "Boss, two bowls of tonkotsu ramen! One bowl in a small portion!"

"okay!"

Ichiraku looked up at the newcomer and responded enthusiastically, a smile on his face.

Hearing this voice, Yue Le couldn't help but look up, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. Only then did he realize that the person who came was Senior Shuomao.

Long before Hatake Sakumo entered the ramen restaurant, Yue Le felt a strong aura approaching, but this was Konoha, so Yue Le didn't pay much attention to it, and he wasn't too familiar with Hatake Sakumo...

"Sakumo-senpai, you are coming to eat too."

At this time, Hatake Sakumo was in his middle age, and there was always a gentle smile on his square face.

After entering the store, when he saw Yue Le and others who were also there, he couldn't help but show joy on his face. He responded to Yue Le and greeted them.

"Ah, Tsukile, Kushina, Minato, and Kyuwa, you're all here too. Good afternoon."

Yue Le had just greeted Hatake Sakumo, but in a flash, his eyes were attracted by the child following behind Sakumo.

Behind Senior Shumao, there was a child with iconic white hair and clear and bright eyes hiding. At this time, he showed half of his head and looked at Yue Le and the others.

Yue Le looked at the child and said jokingly, "Could this be... Senior Shuo Mao's child?"

Although it was a question, his tone was very firm.

Several people were already approaching, and Hatake Sakumo also heard Yue Le's voice, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

"Hehe, yes, my child, Hatake Kakashi. Come, Kakashi, say hello to all the brothers and sisters."

Young Kakashi was very well-behaved and cute, with big round eyes and a chubby little face with a rosy complexion. He was as lovable as a porcelain doll.

When Kushina saw Kakashi, she couldn't help but feel happy. She walked to Kakashi, squatted down, stretched out her fingers and gently pinched Kakashi's soft and elastic little face.

"Kakashi~"

Kushina called Kakashi's name with a big smile on her face.

However, Kakashi seemed a little shy. He tried to hide behind Sakumo, but failed to escape Kushina's "clutches". Not only that, Hatake Sakumo also pushed Kakashi, who was hiding behind him, towards Kushina.

At this time, Shuimen, who was originally standing next to Yuele, also ran over curiously to join in the fun.

"Kushina, Kakashi is so cute."

Minato's eyes were full of smiles as he looked at Kakashi and then at Kushina.

"Yes, yes!"

Kushina nodded excitedly in agreement.

Poor Kakashi was unable to fight back at this moment. His little face was kneaded by Kushina and Minato in turn, sometimes flattened and sometimes rounded.

He looked at his father helplessly, his eyes full of requests for help.

"Father-san, save me~~"

Unfortunately, Hatake Sakumo was talking to Yue Le at the time and didn't notice his son's predicament at all.

As the successor of the Root carefully cultivated by Danzo, Yuele may know more information than Sakumo. Although he usually does not reveal too much, Sakumo knows that as a direct descendant of the Hokage lineage, Yuele will definitely not be unaware of the movements of the upper echelons of Konoha.

The last time I had dinner with Tsunade and Orochimaru, I inadvertently said that Yuele's strength has reached the level of Jonin. You know, Yuele is only eleven years old now. If he wants, he can become the youngest Jonin in Konoha at any time.

The future life is terrible...

"Father~"

"Kakashi, sister will take you out to play, okay~"

"No~ don't~"

"Ahhh, Kakashi, you're even cuter like this~"

"You're so annoying."

"Minato, am I annoying?"

"How could that be? Our Kushina is the most well-behaved person in the world~"

"Ugh~"

"Ugh~"

The three of them were chatting at this time. Suddenly, hearing these words, Yue Le looked at the two people in front of him who were showing their affection madly with helplessness on his face.

I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, "What is going on... When did these two people get together..."

At this moment, Kakashi had a look of despair on his face, as if he had suffered 10,000 points of critical damage. He really didn't want to see the couple in front of him again for a moment!

Minato held Kushina's little hand tightly, and the affectionate looks in their eyes almost sparked love.

"Oh, Heaven! Oh, Earth!"

"Is it really okay for you two to openly show off your affection in front of a little kid like me!!!"

"! Wait, something is wrong! You guys are still kids, okay?! I'm going to tell the teacher! Someone here is in a premature love relationship!!!..."

.......

Stop paying attention to that side.

"Yuele, in your opinion, will the village go to war with the Hidden Cloud Village this time?"

I don't know when the topic on the other side suddenly became serious.

As Hatake Sakumo finished his words, Kushina and Minato, who were originally teasing Kakashi, paused and gave up teasing little Kakashi.

Standing up, Kushina gently picked up Kakashi and carefully placed him on the chair next to Hatake Sakumo. Then, she and Minato walked over to Kyuho and sat down.

"Well, I'm sorry, everyone. I suddenly remembered that the fire on the stove in the back is not yet on, so you may have to wait a little longer for your ramen. I'm so sorry."

After hearing what Yue Le was talking about, Boss Yi Le naturally put on an apologetic smile on his face. He said something to Yue Le and the others, then made an excuse and left for the kitchen.

Before entering the kitchen, Yile pulled the curtain at the door to create a relatively private conversation environment for the remaining people.

There were not many people eating at this time, and there were no other customers in the store, so Yile was very happy to provide such privacy protection measures for the guests.

Looking at Yi Le's back as he hurriedly walked into the kitchen, Yue Le's mouth corners slightly raised and a smile appeared.

In fact, what they were talking about was not any confidential matter, but we have to admit that Boss Yile really knows how to deal with people!

"Well... I guess there will be a conclusion soon. In the past few days, my grandfather and teacher have told me to be ready to go to the battlefield at any time."

"There might really be a fight. If it does happen, we should all go."

Having said that, Yue Le glanced at Hatake Sakumo with a hint of meaning in his eyes. Hatake Sakumo, the man with the title of Konoha White Fang, his fighting power would naturally not be ignored.

"Grandpa and the others are still discussing this. You know, the Hidden Cloud Village has not yet given a clear response to this incident."

After a short pause, Yue Le turned his gaze towards Kushina beside him and found that after the other party felt his gaze, Kushina's expression also became solemn.

She was one of the protagonists in this matter.

"Kushina is a Jinchūriki, so it goes without saying how important she is to the village."

"The Root has received the news. Two days ago, the Hidden Cloud Village sent teams to the Hidden Sand Village and the Hidden Rock Village. The elders analyzed that the Hidden Cloud Village might want to repeat the example of World War II and try to gather other villages to besiege Konoha."

"Then Hokage-sama..."

"..."

"I can only say this. Everyone should prepare early. The prices of some supplies will probably increase soon."

After hearing this, the eyes of everyone present changed subtly, as if they saw the upcoming war.

Minato, Kushina, and Hisahi all had irrepressible excitement in their eyes, but Hatake Sakumo couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Different from the thoughts of these young people, in his eyes, these young people including Yue Le are just innocent children, but at this moment they have to throw themselves into the cruel and ruthless battlefield.

Only those who have personally experienced the cruelty of war can truly understand the horror and despair involved.

Perhaps your companion who was laughing and chatting with you the moment before might be killed by the enemy's hidden weapon in the next moment.

On the battlefield, swords have no eyes... Even Tsunade's younger brother, Orochimaru's former disciple, Rope Tree...

Thinking of this, Hatake Sakumo shook his head helplessly and let out a silent sigh.

After a flash of thought, he remembered that Yue Le and the others were the direct descendants of the Hokage of Konoha Village, and Kushina was the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, so their safety might be relatively more guaranteed.

If they can be tempered and honed through this war, it may not be a bad thing for them.

He reached out and gently stroked Kakashi's hair, which immediately earned him a look of resentment from Kakashi...

You didn't respond to me when I called you just now, and now you're trying to show your goodwill. I won't appreciate it!

After the topic was over, the scene fell into a brief silence. As a member of the Hyuga branch family, Hyuga Hisaha, even with the support of Orochimaru and a personal visit to the Hyuga family, only got a small compromise.

The Hyuga family opened up some of their family secrets to Hyuga Hisaha, but they were unwilling to open up the core ones. As the Hokage, Sarutobi Hiruzen could not intervene in this matter, otherwise it would be forcibly interfering in the internal affairs of the ninja family, which would easily cause a backlash from other ninja clans.

Helplessly, for the sake of Hisahi's future development, Orochimaru began to enhance Hisahi's strength in other aspects, like the bow and arrow she now keeps by her side.

Strengthens Hyuga Hisaha's ranged attack capabilities and unleashes the potential of her Byakugan.

With the powerful weapon, the Byakugan, Hinata Hisakazu can observe enemies two kilometers away. Combined with the bow and arrow in his hand, he can kill people thousands of meters away. It is a powerful weapon on the battlefield.

When the enemy reaches her side after sacrificing countless lives, the gentle fist in Hinata Hisaho's hand will tell the enemy that an archer who can't fight in close combat is not a good ninja!

Just when the atmosphere became solemn, a little fox with nine tails suddenly appeared beside Kushina, looking towards the kitchen with shining eyes.

Coincidentally, after hearing the voices in the front hall fade away, Ichiraku came out carrying six bowls of ramen.

"The ramen is ready, everyone, please enjoy."

"Thank you, uncle."

"Kushina! I want to eat this!"

Kurama's eyes were shining brightly, as if little stars were coming out of them. He was sniffing the bowl of delicious ramen that was brought to Kushina with an intoxicated look on his face, and then he called out to Kushina proudly.

The human world is more comfortable, with so many delicious foods...

"Wow, what a cute little fox!"

"This... this is the Nine-Tailed Fox!!"

In stark contrast to the friendly smiles that Kakashi and Ichiraku showed when they looked at Kurama, after seeing Kurama, Hatake Sakumo's body shook violently and became tense in an instant. His hand subconsciously touched his waist, ready to draw his sword at any time, and stared at Kurama with vigilance.

"Sakumo-senpai, please rest assured, Kurama is very well behaved. And now Kurama is just in the form of a clone, and will not cause any damage to the village."

Yue Le next to him also explained to Hatake Sakumo, he didn't want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.

"I have already reported the matter of releasing Kurama from the seal to Grandpa Hokage, and I only did it with his approval, so there is no need to be nervous, Sakumo-senpai."

Hearing this, Sakumo relaxed a little, but still looked a little nervous.

He coughed lightly, trying to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere.

"Um... Boss, could you please make me another extra large bowl of char siu ramen? For this Ku...Kuroka...I'll treat him!"

Ichiraku didn't care who was eating. After hearing Hatake Sakumo's order, he immediately responded with a smile.

"Okay, wait a moment, it will be ready soon!"

Although his physical condition was much better than before, Sakumo still couldn't completely relax. At this time, Kurama said in a slightly mocking tone:

"Haha, you are such a fool. Don't think that a bowl of ramen can make me treat you better. With your small body, if my real body was here, I don't know how many guys like you I could swallow in one breath!"

Jiu Lama glanced at Sakumo, who had a nervous look on his face, his eyes full of contempt and disdain.

You know, if it hadn't become a lot kinder now (definitely not because of that little brat Kushina!), it wouldn't even bother to look at this bearded, stinky man.

“Ah! Kurama! I’m sorry, Sakumo-senpai, Kurama, thank Sakumo-senpai quickly!”

"Humph! I don't want it!"

"Haha, haha, it's okay, it's okay, I was just too sensitive just now..."

Sakumo scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, trying to lighten the mood.

Then, in front of everyone's surprised gaze, he stood up and escorted Kakashi out from in front of Kurama with a smile on his face.

"Come, Kurama, let me let you touch the face of Kakashi, Kushina's favorite."

"???"

Hearing this, Kakashi's body suddenly stiffened, his face full of disbelief. He turned his head stiffly and stared at Sakumo with wide eyes.

The words in my mouth were a little stuttering.

"You, you, you...what did you say?"

“Are you really my father???”

Kakashi's voice was trembling, and he obviously couldn't accept what was happening before his eyes.

At this moment, Yuele, who was standing aside watching the fun, was already laughing so hard that he was bent over. Even Minato, who had been trying hard not to laugh out loud, finally couldn't help it. For a moment, the entire Ichiraku Ramen Restaurant was filled with laughter.

"Hehe, hehe."

Sakumo laughed dryly, trying to break the deadlock. He quickly put the pork chop in his bowl into Kakashi's bowl, with a flattering look on his face.

"Um... son, don't be angry. This pork chop is for you."

"???"

Kakashi, however, did not react at all. He just sat there with a dead look on his face, as if he had lost all interest and ability to respond to everything around him.

Yuele seemed to see the dark clouds above Kakashi's head.

Teacher, our Kakashi seems to be broken...

Sitting there motionless, Kakashi was indifferent to the pork chops covering the surface of the bowl.

Seeing this, Hatake Sakumo, who was standing beside him, mistakenly thought that Kakashi was still sulking and throwing a tantrum, and was secretly wondering how to comfort the little guy.

At this moment, a gentle voice came.

"Um... Sakumo-senpai..."

Hatake Sakumo turned his head and responded, "Hmm? What's wrong, Jiuhe?"

However, Jiuhe's next words were like sharp knives that stabbed into his chest.

"... Kakashi, it seems like you haven't grown many teeth yet..."

"Can you really chew a pork chop?"

Although the tone of these words was gentle, the amount of information contained in them was enough to shock Hatake Sakumo.

He opened his eyes wide, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"!!!"

The next moment, he immediately realized what a serious mistake he had made, clasped his hands together, and quickly apologized to Kakashi.

"What a mess!!!"

"Oh! I'm sorry!!! Son!!!"
