Morning!

With the day on its final legs, Shin finally decided to rest. Teuchi went up to the ramen store's second floor and told Shin to go ahead and take a shower in Teuchi's room.

"Where are that dirty clothes of yours?" Teuchi asked

Shin told Teuchi he threw it away as it was too dirty. Well, after such a long day yesterday, on top of blood smudges all over his clothes, it was no doubt that it was time for Shin to dispose of it. He made sure it was thrown away and burnt somewhere along the way to Ichiraku ramen store, to get rid of any evidence that he killed the Anbus.

After a good nice relaxing shower, and finally, FRESH pair of clothes, he could rest the night. Though... Teuchi did warn him before going to sleep... "If you try anything funny to Ayame, I'll be the first one to hunt you down, and make sure you'll never see the sun-rise ever again..."

'Why is this man so intimidating... I swear he's an OP retired main character or something.. ' Shin thought to himself.

Prior to this, Shin had agreed to sleep on the couch, in the living room, as he did not want to disturb Teuchi.. nor Ayame.

After a short while... Shin finally fell asleep.

*Chirp Chirp* Ah... the beautiful sound of the bird... Unlike the first time he woke up in this world, this time, he actually did wake up to the sound of some chirping birds... and no panic attack for being butt-naked.

'What a great morning!' he thought... It seems like Shin has such a low standard for a great morning...

Shin showered quickly and prepared himself for this newfound day. He didn't see Ayame nor Teuchi anywhere on the top floor.

Shin headed downstairs where Teuchi was already hard at work to prepare delicious Ramens for all of Konoha citizens to experience. He was moving at an agile speed, moving here and there as if he was a shinobi of the kitchen. One by one, preparations were being done. At first, the tare, then the pork, the noodles were cleanly arranged, and many more were done at such an unprecedented speed. It was almost like art...

Teuchi realised that Shin was looking over at him. "Hey Shin, would you like to eat?"

In which, Shin immediately nodded as his stomach was growling wildly. Teuchi began preparing the ramen for Shin and under a minute, breakfast was served.

Shin began to eat at lightning speed due to his hunger, and after a moment, he'd finish the food. He was about to head off the Ichiraku ramen store to perform some mission... but something felt off. Teuchi was looking at him funny.

"Are you forgetting something Shin?" Teuchi asked...

"Ah! Of course!" Shin realised. Teuchi wanted Shin to pay for his ramen. Shin took out his own version of Gama-chan (wallet) that he bought yesterday and prepared some cash... before Teuchi wrote and gave him a modified bill. A large writing was on the paper.

"500 ryo."

...

Both parties began looking at one another.

It was quite awkward.

Teuchi, at one point as he woke up, saw Gama-chan on the table near Shin, and saw exactly how much he has there.

'Shin spent quite the fortune purchasing all those clothes yesterday, it's only right I get a portion of my money back too right!?' was Teuchi's mindset at that point. Hence, the bill.

"I-I don't have that..." Shin said before Teuchi interrupted. "You dare lie?"

...

It looks like Shin had no choice... He gave his money and pouted slightly at the sight of him being poor once more.

Teuchi was not a full-on dick. So he pitied Shin and gave him 100 ryo back.

'.... What a bad morning...' Shin changed his mind.

After a while, It was finally time for him to go ahead and find some mission. Shin greeted Teuchi and said goodbye to Ayane, who ignored him

:'),

and went ahead to the Konoha Academy. He finally reached the table for the assignments that was available and asked the clerk there. Thankfully for Shin, the Third Hokage isn't there this time. However, something was different this day. Circulation about the Uchiha massacre has finally begun spreading out.

"Hey have you heard?"

"Itachi"

"Massacre"

"Sasuke Uchiha is the only survivor"

All of the words above were things Shin could hear consistently even around the academy. 'Looks like Sasuke will have a hard time' he thought to himself...

However, one conversation stood out for Shin. "Have you heard, four anbus were killed last night... It was such a weird accident... Two of them became Skeletons.. one poisoned and the last stabbed"

Looks like rumours about his 'misdemeanour' had also begun circulating

"It seemed like it was done by the same man who killed the Uchiha clan."

As Shin heard that, a sigh of relief went by him as it seemed like they suspected someone else.

"So, what can I help you with?" The clerk asked as Shin stood there for a bit without saying much.

"Ah yeah... um, I'd like to get a mission" Shin said

"Sure! you can see for yourself on that wall there what missions there are and come back to me once you have what you want!"

Shin nodded and headed off to the wall to grab a C-Rank Mission...
