14 The wait

"Your not that stealthy you know..."

I said while lying down on a training ground where my team was training. They left an hour earlier and now I was stuck here, with one Hyuuga with a stick up his ass watching me.

"So you noticed... Not like it matters-"

There we go... Fate blah blah blah, woe is me blah blah.

"-ate to win the chunin exams, you should just give up or I won't spare you or your teammates when we get to fight each other."

...Would the Hyuuga clan be mad if I take off this dumbasses limb... or two?

"...You done?"

The asshole clicked his tongue at me! This bastard!

"You should heed my warning..."

This fucker gets to threaten my life and get away with it, bet I can't do the same.

I stood up with a sigh... And promptly walk away, leaving the popsicle behind. Not dealing with this shit today. Rai, out!

A body flicker later and I was out of there and in the village again, well, this place is meh, the civilians just kept away from me, some shinobi were looking at me like I was about to commit a crime nothing like it was in Kumo.

On the road, I came across the all too familiar stand... The ichiraku.

Well, it should be worth a taste.

Walking over, I bent down and push away the curtains, no one was inside, so I was the only customer. With a shrug, I sat down on the chair.

An old man with squinted eyes walked out of the kitchen and looked at me.

"Welcome, can I take your order?"

...Okay... the moment of truth.

[Teuchi

Level: 4

A civilian of Konoha. He grew up mastering his craft, making perfect noodles and pleasing the customers, currently the best Ramen maker in the world.]

Really? Here I thought that he was some all mighty deity... Or maybe he can disguise his status!... Nah.

"One miso ramen please."

He nodded and went back inside.

I just sat there, awkwardly waiting for my order to arrive.

"Hey! Old man! Get me pork ramen, the usual amount!"

An obnoxiously loud voice sounded from right behind me and I winced. God, this kid was a shinobi?

"Okay, Naruto!"

The blonde sat down a chair away from me and started humming. It was after five minutes that he noticed my presence. His situational awareness is nonexistent... just like his fashion sense.

"It's you! the one that beat the makeup guy!"

I guess that's fair... but this is too.

"It's you... the guy that won by farting."

He faces faulted, literally, his face was on the ground right now.

"My name is Naruto! The future Hokage! You better believe it!"

...Wow... it was amusing when I was watching it on screen, but right now, it looks like a kid dreaming big. If I didn't know some of the future, I would have never believed that this guy is the Seventh Hokage.

"Here's your order!"

I looked back to the front as a bowl of Ramen was placed in front of me, with a shrug, I took a pair of chopsticks, and snapped them apart.

"Thank you for the food."

I bought a noodle to my mouth and...

Holy Carp! This is delicious! I Looked at naruto when I stopped slurping the noodles.

He looked at me.

It was like an unknown signal passed between us and we started eating faster. I had the advantage, due to my gamer's body, I could just keep eating, Naruto can keep up with me but he doesn't have my capacity.

I had to pay for thirty-four bowls.

I won... But at what cost?...

___

It was the day after my wallet took a blow that the Raikage arrived. With a week left to prepare for the exams, I was doing the only thing reasonable...

Taking a break.

The bed was nice, the pillow fluffy, and the weather was pleasant with a slight breeze, the open window was letting the air in as I lay there with hands behind my head.

But the silence couldn't last much longer, I could see the Raikage coming towards the inn with furrowed brows. Sometimes I hated Byakugan, but it also gave me time to prepare for the inevitable.

Six minutes later, he opened the door and glared at me.

I still had my eyes closed, pretending to be asleep.

[Detect Bloodlust has levelled up]

This fucker! Let me rest damn it!

"How may I help you lord Raikage?"

I couldn't see because I deactivated my byakugan but I had a distinct feeling that a tick mark appeared on his head.

"Brat! The exams are in three weeks, why are you slacking off?"

Opening my eyes, I was in the mood to be a little sassy, he ruined my peace.

"Well, Judging from the fact that I worked my ass off this past three weeks-"

I really didn't.

"-I want to rest for one day let my muscles cool down-"

Bullshit!

"- So that they can heal and grow stronger, I will resume my training tomorrow."

[Detect bloodlust has levelled up]

"You know the mystical palm, you can heal your muscles any time you want to."

I swear to god...

"Artificially recovered muscles don't grow stronger than naturally recovered ones."

If you are going to lecture the most knowledgeable person in medicine, you need to at least look things up. Oh, wait, Google doesn't exist.

He grunted and I heard footsteps, opening my eyes I watched as he stood in the middle of the room.

"Genin Rai, I have a mission for you."

With a sigh, I stood up and walked in front of him, taking a knee.

"You have to win the Chunin exams. You have to face an Uchiha so be careful not to let him copy any of B's teachings."

I nod in the affirmative, I knew that much. I was going to freak the kid out anyway.

"I want you to show off, but don't use "That", don't mess around and take things seriously."

Ah, a mission. Well, there is no downside for me.

"Yes, Lord Raikage."

He grunted and turned back, walking out of the door.

I stood up and sighed... Well! Time to go back to relaxing!

Walking to the door, I closed it and walked back to the bed, laid down and started enjoying the breeze again.

"..."

"We're back!"

God damn it, Karui!
