Naruto: Dual System Power At The Beginning

The Third Hokage is truly too ruthless.

Ten ryo isn't even enough to buy a bowl of plain noodles.

Naruto noticed the expression of the big brother in front of him. Clearly, his money wasn't enough to buy a bowl of ramen. He hurriedly said, "If the money isn't enough, then I just won't go."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Usually, he ate simple food. Although it could fill his stomach, it wasn't particularly tasty.

But he didn't have any complaints. That old man taking care of him, an orphan, was already a great kindness.

At this moment, Ryosuke called out to him.

"It's fine. Big brother will treat you."

Naruto looked at this big brother with a face full of disbelief.

What a good person! Not only did he not hate him, but he also invited him to eat.

His eyes almost welled up with tears.

Ryosuke didn't expect the other party to be so moved. It was merely treating him to ramen, a very simple thing.

While Ryosuke was taking Naruto to the Ichiraku Ramen shop, two people in masks were hiding in the shadows. One of them spoke:

"Captain Kakashi, isn't it too dangerous for someone from the Uchiha clan to approach the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki?"

"Should we stop them?"

Kakashi waved his hand and said, "Although this person is from the Uchiha clan, he's a Taijutsu ninja. He doesn't pose much danger."

"We'll follow the Hokage-sama's instructions and protect him in the shadows without revealing our identities."

In fact, his friend Obito Uchiha was also from the Uchiha clan.

Before dying, he even gave Kakashi a Sharingan. Not all Uchiha clan members are arrogant and self-important.

Moreover, this Uchiha Ryosuke was a close friend of Guy's, and both of them were Taijutsu specialists.

Someone recognized by Guy shouldn't be an evil person.

Soon, Ryosuke brought Naruto to Ichiraku Ramen and ordered two hearty bowls of ramen from the owner.

He not only invited Naruto to eat a bowl but also planned to eat one himself.

This stuff never gets boring, no matter how much you eat.

When the Ichiraku owner saw Naruto entering his shop, he furrowed his brows slightly but soon relaxed.

Although rumors about this child being the reincarnation of the Nine-Tails fox were everywhere, how could he believe such ridiculous claims?

The other party had arms and legs; he was clearly a human child. Who knows which wicked person spread such absurd gossip?

A child being ostracized by these adults—

It's not just a child; even an adult wouldn't be able to endure that.

The owner then went into the backroom to prepare a hearty bowl of ramen for them.

"Wait a moment, you two. It'll be ready soon."

Naruto, seeing the owner's attitude, relaxed. This was the first time he wasn't kicked out of a shop.

Although Ryosuke was treating him to ramen, if the owner refused, even with money, they wouldn't be served.

Now, he could peacefully try the ramen that Ryosuke spoke so highly of.

The owner quickly brought out two steaming bowls of ramen.

The bowl placed in front of Naruto had an obviously larger portion than Ryosuke's. It seemed the owner had put thought into it.

Ryosuke smiled and invited Naruto.

"Eat it while it's hot; it tastes better."

Upon hearing this, Naruto immediately picked up his chopsticks and grabbed some noodles to put in his mouth.

The taste was amazing.

He was so excited; it was simply too delicious.

His speed in eating ramen was no slower than Ryosuke's.

Very quickly, he finished the large bowl of ramen cleanly, even drinking a few big gulps of the soup before feeling fully satisfied.

Ryosuke initially worried that Naruto, being so young, might eat too much ramen and get stuffed. But seeing that Naruto showed no signs of discomfort, he felt relieved.

After all, it wasn't unusual for boys to eat a big bowl of ramen.

Moreover, this was Naruto's favorite food.

Both of them ate a hearty bowl of ramen and rested at the shop for a while.

Luckily, the ramen shop wasn't crowded, so they didn't disrupt the business.

Before leaving, Ryosuke took out a thick wad of money and handed it to the Ichiraku owner.

The owner looked surprised and quickly said, "Sir, this is clearly too much. 120 ryo is enough."

Ryosuke explained, "This is 1920 ryo. From now on, if Naruto wants to eat ramen, just deduct the cost from this. If the money runs out, let me know the next time I come by, and I'll prepay again."

As the grandson of the Uchiha clan elder, he had never lacked money.

Naruto, as the son of the Fourth Hokage, shouldn't lack money either. This was completely unjustifiable.

The Ichiraku owner finally understood and happily accepted the money.

He didn't share the same distrust of the Uchiha clan as the other villagers.

On the contrary, the Uchiha Police Force had strict law enforcement and had caught many people trying to eat for free.

As a small business owner, if freeloaders continued to take advantage of him, he wouldn't make any profit.

Naruto looked at Ryosuke with a face full of emotion, feeling as though he was about to cry.

At this moment, he felt that living in this village was a blessing.

After resting for a while, the two walked out of Ichiraku Ramen and strolled together for some distance.

Before parting ways, Naruto asked Ryosuke, "Ryosuke-nii, why are you so kind to me?"

Today was probably their first meeting. Someone treating him so well made Naruto very happy, but he wanted to know the reason.

Ryosuke slowly replied, "Because you are the descendant of a hero."

"We must not let the hero's descendants shed tears."

The Fourth Hokage and his wife died to protect the village, true believers of the Will of Fire.

They were flawless individuals, unlike the Third Hokage, who demanded others uphold the Will of Fire. This was the key difference.

Naruto's eyes widened in surprise.

The other's words had completely reshaped his understanding.

"A hero's descendant? Then whose child am I? Why do the villagers call me a demon fox?"

Just as Ryosuke was about to reveal Naruto's identity, a masked man with white hair appeared beside them and said coldly:

"Don't say any more."

Ryosuke looked at the newcomer's white hair and furrowed his brow.

Wasn't this Kakashi from the Anbu?

He hadn't expected him to personally protect Naruto.

Naruto, on the other hand, was very agitated. He had always wanted to know his father's identity and why he was called a demon fox. After all, he had arms and legs, no tail, and didn't look like a fox at all.

Were the villagers blind? But being interrupted at this moment made his face instantly turn unpleasant.

"Who are you? Why are you meddling in our business?"

Kakashi ignored young Naruto and focused on Uchiha Ryosuke.

Not wanting to clash with Kakashi here, Ryosuke smiled and said to Naruto:

"You should go back now. As for your identity, you'll find out someday."
