Chapter 10 Sorry, I had an appointment with him.
Ichiraku Ramen.
"Boss, a bowl of tonkotsu ramen!" Uchiha Ike ordered his ramen as he walked deeper into the ramen shop.
"Okay, buddy!" the uncle, kneading dough, shouted to the kitchen, "Ayame, a bowl of tonkotsu ramen!"
"Okay, okay!" a childish voice replied enthusiastically from the kitchen.
Uchiha Ike casually found a seat and sat down, looking at the azure text that appeared in front of him while waiting for his ramen.
[Approval from Metacare detected!]
[Gain 20 points and increase defense by 4%!]
[Target's emotional fluctuations exceed the standard; host receives additional reward... Taijutsu: Leaf Whirlwind!]
"Is this what bonds are? Then I accept it..."
Uchiha Ike was somewhat emotional. He hadn't expected that a simple, profound remark before leaving would make Might Guy cry like a 300-pound child, saying something like, "You are the person who understands youth best besides me and my father."
"The Leaf Village Whirlwind...?"
Uchiha Ike nodded slightly. Although he wasn't given the Eight Gates Formation directly, these lower-level taijutsu techniques were more suitable for him now compared to the forbidden Eight Gates Formation.
Even taijutsu ninjas like Might and Might Guy often suffer serious injuries when opening the Eight Gates, and Uchiha Ike doesn't think his body can withstand such a price.
[Skills: Three Body Technique, Body Flicker Technique, Body Immobilization Technique, Fire Release: Great Fireball Technique, Fire Release: Phoenix Flower Technique, Leaf Hollow Rise, Leaf Whirlwind]
Looking at the increasingly rich skill bar of the system, Uchiha Ike felt genuinely satisfied. In just a few days, the number of his ninjutsu had more than doubled.
"The tonkotsu ramen is ready!"
Ayame, wearing a small white headscarf, carried a large bowl of ramen from the kitchen to Uchiha Ike's table.
"enjoy your meal!"
She put the ramen on the table and hurriedly returned to the kitchen to continue working, since the ramen shop was very busy at lunchtime.
Uchiha Ike pulled a pair of chopsticks from the bamboo tube, picked up a piece of pork bone meat placed on the soup noodles, and took a bite.
The meat juices and broth gathered in his mouth, creating a unique flavor, and Uchiha Ike comfortably squinted his eyes.
"Now, in terms of both chakra reserves and the number of ninjutsu I can perform, I am a true Chunin."
"Although I can't compare to those predecessors who started at Kage level, as long as I continue to develop with the system, I'll definitely reach Jonin level by the time the Third Shinobi World War officially begins."
Thinking about this, Uchiha Ike felt a sense of relaxation.
For the past two weeks since he transmigrated to the ninja world, he had been somewhat apprehensive, fearing that he would be like a stray dog on the street, kicked to death during a mission in the future.
But now, with his strength rapidly increasing, he finally feels much more secure.
"Speaking of which... the ninja team needs to be assembled in four or five days."
Uchiha Ike began to look forward to what kind of teammates and mentors the village would assign him.
If possible, he hopes to encounter teammates with some kind of psychological issues, as this would make it easier for him to trigger rewards.
As for the supervising teacher... well, there's no room for problems with that.
If the instructor has any questions, then the team has already been assigned one!
Uchiha Ike suddenly felt a little worried.
Could I really be jinxing myself?
"Uchiha Ike?"
Just as he began to worry about the mental health of his mentor whom he had never met, a deep and somewhat familiar voice sounded behind him.
Uchiha Ike turned his head and saw a man dressed in Uchiha clan clothing sitting in the corner. His face was stern, and he was looking at him with his arms crossed.
It turns out to be the dear clan chief.
"Clan Chief Fugaku?" Uchiha Ike blinked. "Are you eating here alone?"
"He came with a friend," Fugaku Uchiha said expressionlessly, pointing to the table in front of him where two empty soup bowls sat. "He really likes ramen."
"Oh..." Uchiha Ike nodded thoughtfully. "Is it Lord Minato?"
The friend who liked to eat ramen that Fugaku Uchiha mentioned was probably the future Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.
Although the Third Shinobi World War has not yet begun and the name "Yellow Flash" is still well-known in the ninja world, he has already become quite famous in Konoha due to his outstanding performance in missions over the years.
"It's him." Fugaku Uchiha nodded, having no doubt that he could guess who Uchiha Ike was.
If they could detect even the spies from Konoha who had infiltrated their clan's territory, then guessing who was having dinner with them wouldn't be difficult at all.
However... I didn't greet people to play a deduction game.
After returning last time, Fugaku Uchiha investigated the information on Ike Uchiha.
Orphaned, with a withdrawn personality, no Sharingan, and only average ninja skills, he'll likely only ever reach the level of Chunin.
No wonder I was so excited after being praised by myself last time. This group, which is most easily neglected by their families, often longs for the care of their elders.
Like a green plant that survives in a crack, it will flourish if given a little sunshine.
Thinking of this, Fugaku Uchiha glanced casually at Ike Uchiha and said indifferently:
"It seems like you'll be assigning ninja teams in a few days, right?"
Uchiha Ike paused slightly, then nodded. "Yes, what's wrong?"
Fugaku Uchiha toyed with the teacup in his hand: "I'm going to instruct the children in my clan tomorrow, and I need an assistant..."
Since it's just a side benefit anyway, giving him a little reward will give him another loyal Chunin subordinate in the future. Why not?
Uchiha Ike blinked, naturally understanding that Uchiha Fugaku was inviting him to be an observer.
Of course, he also knew the other party's reason for doing so; it was simply to give him a chance to improve.
But the problem is...
He doesn't want it.
Just thinking about a useless leader like Fugaku Uchiha, who had no achievements, made Ike Uchiha feel a little annoyed.
Besides, he's already cheating, why would he still want to be someone's dog?
If stimulating the other person's emotions can make him stronger, then why should he wrong himself?
"I'm sorry, Lord Fugaku." Uchiha Ike shook his head and politely declined with a smile, "I suddenly remembered that I have some things to do tomorrow."
Fugaku Uchiha was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting the other party to refuse him, and his face immediately turned cold.
"What could be so important that it can't be done later?"
[Discontent detected from Uchiha Fugaku!]
[Gain 10 points and increase damage by 2%!]
Oh, it's not full yet.
Uchiha Ike looked around and his eyes met those of a pair of dead fish eyes that were secretly observing them. His eyes lit up immediately.
You're peeping again, aren't you?
Then come here!
Uchiha Ike pointed to the table opposite him: "I've already made plans with him."
Fugaku Uchiha paused slightly, then looked in the direction Uchiha Ike was pointing.
"This is......"
