Yes.
Although this was a very small shop, with only a row of seats by the door, it could probably only accommodate five people at a time.
But in the hearts of netizens in his previous life, the owner here was known as the existence of Teuchi Ichiraku!
This statement might be a bit exaggerated, but neither the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack nor the later Six Paths of Pain affected this Ichiraku Ramen shop.
This was a fact!
Even in the Boruto era, this small shop was still there, and had even expanded its storefront.
"Yo, it's Jin-kun!"
"Today is your graduation day, so you definitely need to celebrate properly."
"Today, Uncle will treat you to some char siu and tempura!"
Teuchi Ichiraku squinted, a warm smile on his face.
Ayame, who was busy in the shop, heard this and came out, also smiling and starting to chat with Uchiha Jin.
Uchiha Jin smiled.
He chatted idly with the father and daughter while waiting for his food.
Just then, a masked ninja walked in.
"One extra-large tonkotsu ramen."
He had a cold expression.
With a head full of white hair and a black mask, he exuded an aura that warned people to keep their distance.
Yes.
He was Hatake Kakashi.
Uchiha Jin's nominal classmate.
After speaking.
He sat directly next to Uchiha Jin, even subtly glancing at him.
A hint of confusion appeared in the depths of his eyes.
Kakashi didn't recognize this old classmate.
But the Uchiha's fan symbol was known to everyone in Konoha, and even the entire Shinobi World.
What Kakashi couldn't understand was, weren't most members of the Uchiha Clan arrogant and disdainful of ordinary people?
This Uchiha in front of him was truly quite strange.
He hadn't expected it.
Besides Obito, who constantly followed him around and clamored, there could actually be such an oddball among the Uchiha.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
While Kakashi was observing Uchiha Jin, Uchiha Jin was also silently observing Kakashi.
He also hadn't expected to encounter him here.
However, thinking about it, it seemed quite normal.
Most of the well-known characters in the original story were willing to come to Ichiraku Ramen.
But.
He had no intention of engaging with Kakashi, so he just continued chatting with Ayame while heartily eating his dinner.
After all, the two were not close.
Uchiha Jin just wanted to keep a low profile, and the system he awakened today was an absolute lazy slob who just wanted to lie flat and slack off.
Under these circumstances, he was even less inclined to interact with these plot characters.
Because that meant trouble!
"Uncle Teuchi, Ayame, thank you for the meal."
"I'm heading back."
After finishing his meal, he smiled and bid them farewell.
He stood up, stretched, and then turned to leave the ramen shop.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
Kakashi, who was still eating, was constantly thinking about Uchiha Jin.
"Kakashi, why aren't you eating?"
"Does it not taste good today?"
Ayame walked over, her arms crossed, glaring at Kakashi with an unhappy expression.
Clearly.
If Kakashi didn't give an explanation, she would be very angry.
Kakashi gave an awkward smile in response.
He quickly ate while apologizing, and then inquired about Uchiha Jin.
Ayame, hearing this, didn't hide anything.
"You're talking about Jin-kun!"
"He is indeed an unusual Uchiha; he started coming to our shop seven or eight years ago, so he's one of our regulars."
"Jin-kun speaks very gently and is very polite; he's a truly good person."
"..."
Kakashi's expression relaxed slightly upon hearing this.
Honestly, when he first saw Uchiha Jin, he subconsciously thought that the other party was deliberately approaching him.
Because of his teacher, Namikaze Minato!
Perhaps ordinary people weren't aware, but he was very clear that his teacher was a strong contender for the Fourth Hokage.
Kakashi was also very familiar with the issues concerning the Uchiha Clan.
So, when he saw Uchiha Jin, he naturally and subconsciously wondered if this guy was trying to use this to get close to his teacher.
Fortunately.
Ayame's words dispelled his doubts.
The person had been coming here for seven or eight years in a row; he was definitely a regular customer.
Thinking of this, he shook his head.
"What a strange Uchiha!"
Chapter 3: Rewards for Lying Flat, Preparing an Escape Route in Advance
Uchiha Clan Grounds.
At the edge stood a dilapidated two-story house; this was Uchiha Jin's home in this world.
It had to be said.
Although the house was a bit run-down, the location was quite good, very close to Konoha's commercial street.
After all, the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox's Attack hadn't erupted yet, and the Uchiha Clan Grounds hadn't been relocated.
As one of Konoha's founding clans, the clan grounds they occupied certainly wouldn't be bad.
As Uchiha Jin walked along, he received many 'eye-rolls,' 'provocations,' and 'humiliations' from fellow clansmen... But, to this.
He, long accustomed to it, merely drooped his face, yawned, and began to use his 'mouth no jutsu.'
"Ah, yes, yes, yes!"
"You're absolutely right, I'm a coward, I'm a good-for-nothing!"
"You're amazing, you're incredible, you're the GOAT!"
"..."
Yes.
When he first transmigrated, he might have felt angry or aggrieved.
But now?
He had long grown accustomed and numb, developing a thick skin.
He even found these clansmen ridiculous and pathetic.
Clinging to the so-called 'Konoha's Foremost Noble Clan' broken signboard, yet unaware that they had long become a dish on someone else's table.
