Encounter With Team 7

Early the next morning, Kai noticed that Anbu who was watching had left.

Kai woke up Karin and went to have breakfast with Hikari.

"Brother, where are we going to eat?"

"Ichiraku Ramen."

How can you not eat Ichiraku Ramen when you come to Konoha? After defecting from Konoha Village kai has not eaten Ichiraku Ramen for a long time.

Taking the two girls, Kai skillfully arrived at the Ichiraku Ramen shop.

"Boss, three bowls of tonkotsu ramen, I'm hungry."

The boss is a very enthusiastic uncle, and he is nicknamed Ōtsutsuki Ichiraku by netizens because he keeps squinting his eyes.

"Okay, three bowls of tonkotsu ramen!"

The hand-made uncle quickly became busy, pouring fresh bone broth into the cooked ramen and adding side dishes, and three bowls of hot tonkotsu ramen were ready.

"Three bowls of tonkotsu ramen, eat them with care."

"Thanks."

The three of them took the ramen and thanked them, then slowly tasted the hot noodles.

"I haven't seen you around. Where are you from?"

Kai smiled and said, "I am a foreign candidate who is here to take the Chūnin exam, and I came here to have fun in advance."

"That's it. I wish you a happy trip."

There was an endless stream of customers coming to eat in the morning.

While several people were slowly enjoying the meal, Kai heard a voice shouting, "Uncle, a bowl of tonkotsu ramen, Mr. Kakashi will pay for it."

I didn't expect that one of the goals of this drama would come so soon.

Kai wanted to laugh inexplicably. Now that Tenzo and he are not around, it depends on who Kakashi will pay this time.

I saw Uzumaki Naruto sitting next to someone excitedly, followed by Uchiha Sasuke, Haruno Sakura and Kakashi.

It seems that Kakashi's eye was taken back by Obito. It seems that he did not remain blind. He replaced it with an ordinary eye and a Short Sword was put on his back.

The four of them sat next to Kai and finished ordering ramen.

"You've been staring at us since we entered the door, Sound Ninja." Kakashi took out four pairs of chopsticks and distributed them to several students, and spoke calmly.

"Ah? Is he looking at me?" Naruto was still very serious.

Sasuke silently guarded the three of them. They had just experienced the Wave Country incident and were very wary of foreign ninjas.

Kai didn't show any surprise because he was discovered and turned to face the four of them: "I'm just curious about what Konoha's elite ninja Kakashi looks like."

"Are you here to take the Chūnin exam?"

"Yes, if these are Kakashi's disciples, they will definitely take part in this Chūnin exam. Let me introduce you, my name is Chiba Kushi, the name on the left is Chiba Hikaru, and the one on the right is Uzumaki Karin."

Kakashi also saw the red-haired figure. Was she from the same family as his master's wife? She was a refugee living in Soumd Country.

"Hello!"

Naruto warmly stretched out his hand and shook it with Kai. "Hello, my name is Uzumaki Naruto."

"My name is Haruno Sakura."

"Uchiha Sasuke." Sasuke still had that cold expression.

Uchiha Hikaru cast a curious look, this is the last descendant of Uchiha.

She now sees that the hatred for Uchiha has long been gone in her heart, and the person who harmed her has long since become the ashes of history.

Brother Kai is right, this is all the fault of the ninja world, pain comes from mistakes, everyone is just a bubble drifting with the crowd, and everyone should follow Brother Kai to change everything.

Sakura leaned close to Naruto and whispered: "That red-haired girl has the same last name as you?"

"Yes!" Naruto then reacted and thought excitedly that if he was from the same clan, he might know his parents.

Naruto jumped out of his seat excitedly, and stopped eating the ramen in his hand. He came to Uzumaki Karin, "You and I have the same surname, so do you know my parents?"

Uzumaki Karin shook her head, "I don't know you. I haven't been in the Country of Uzumaki since I can remember?"

Naruto Uzumaki scratched the back of his head: "The Country of Uzumaki...where is that?"

Karin looked surprised. Although none of the Uzumaki clan at their age were born in the Kingdom of Uzumaki, they must have heard of it.

"Don't you even know this?"

Naruto still looked like he was seeking knowledge: "I don't know, which country is that? There's no such country on the map now, right?"

Kai answered, "Let me answer. The Country of Uzumaki is located on an island to the east of the Country of Fire. Most of the residents on the island are Uzumaki tribesmen, who are famous for their powerful Sealing Techniques and vitality."

"Yes! Naruto heals quickly every time he is injured." Sakura reminded.

"In the early days of the founding of the nation, Konoha and the Country of Uzumakis signed a friendship agreement and have been friends for generations. The red whirlpool on the back of Konoha Jōnin's uniform is their clan emblem. Naruto, doesn't it also appear on your clothes?"

Several people looked at Naruto's sleeves, and Naruto suddenly realized: "It turns out that the clothes prepared by Grandpa Hokage have this meaning."

"However, later other countries coveted the powerful Sealing Techniques, and Kirigakure of the Water Country launched a war and destroyed the country. This is why you can't see the Uzumaki Country on the map."

"The Uzumaki clan was massacred by Kirigakure. Only a small part of the clan survived. They were displaced and lived a miserable life. Naruto's parents should be immigrants from the Kingdom of Uzumaki."

Naruto's eyes widened, he couldn't believe that all the people in a country were killed like this, "It's Kirigakure ninja again, how can they be so cruel!"

"Naruto, let's eat some noodles first. It's time to eat noodles. Don't you like eating noodles that have fallen out the most?" Kakashi saw that Naruto was in a bad mood and quickly spoke to calm him down.

Kai continued, "I see some characteristics in you, and it reminds me of a couple. I have seen it in the recorded mission records."

"Who is it!?" Naruto turned to look at Kai with extremely pleading eyes.

He has wanted to know who his parents are countless times and prove that he is not a demon fox.

Why do others have the love of their parents, but why only myself?

"Kishu-kun!" Kakashi suddenly interrupted Kai's speech, "This is Konoha's secret."

Kai was obedient and kept his mouth shut. He had to eat his food step by step. If he wanted to make Naruto and Sasuke black, he had to do it slowly.

"Sorry, this turns out to be Konoha's secret, I'm too talkative."

Kai stopped talking and concentrated on eating the noodles in the bowl. No matter how much Naruto, who was anxious around him, persuaded him, he stopped talking.

"Just tell me, okay? This is my life's request!"

"Sorry, Naruto-kun."

Kai shook his head.

Naruto grabbed Kai's clothes tightly, tears and snot could not stop flowing down, he begged: "Please, tell me...

I have been regarded as a demon fox by the villagers since I was a child, and they all said that I am the reincarnation of a demon fox, but I never believed that. I definitely have parents."

"Don't embarrass me. We are just ninjas from a small ninja village. We cannot withstand Konoha's anger. I'm sorry."

Kai took out a thousand ryo bill from his pocket and put it on the table: "I'll treat you to this meal."

Kai patted Naruto on the shoulder and said softly: "Sorry..."

Then, Kai walked away with Hikari and Karin.

Karin couldn't help but look back at Naruto, her heart full of sympathy. She whispered to Kai: "Naruto is so pitiful..."

Kai nodded silently, rubbed Karin's red hair, and comforted her, "Don't worry, we are here to save him."

Speaking of which, the configuration of the three of them is quite similar to that of Class 7.

'One Uchiha, one Uzumaki, then am I Sakura?'
