Hearing the word "treat" and seeing your charming smile, the atmosphere instantly broke into cheers, especially from one particular person.
Naruto: "WHAT?! BUY ICHIRAKU RAMEN?!" Naruto jumped into the air with explosive enthusiasm. "You're really a good person, Zak! I love you! Come on, we have to make sure Grandma Tsunade gives you a permanent residence permit!"
Choji: Choji's eyes instantly lit up. "A big meal treat? I'm coming! I'll order a jumbo portion with extra meat!"
Tents: He was still a little blushing because of your gaze earlier, but tried to join in the conversation while tidying up his weapon roll. "That's very good from you, Zak. I hope you feel at home here... really."
Evil: He immediately approached my left side, trying to grab the closest position. "In that case, I have to make sure you get the most strategic place to live so that it is not far from my flower shop," he said with a wink, not wanting to lose to Tenten.
Sakura: He chuckled at the behavior of his friends. "You just won their hearts with one sentence, Zak. But honestly, it's a very generous offer."
You start walking together towards the Hokage Building. You walk in the middle of these elite ninjas, creating a very contrasting scene: a group of ninjas in combat suits, accompanied by an athletic, handsome, and very fragrant man who walks casually as if he were on the catwalk.
Along the way, the villagers (especially the women) stop doing their activities just to see you pass by. You can hear whispers like, "Who is that?" or "Is he a noble from the Fire Nation?"
Shikamaru who was walking beside you muttered softly, "You know, Zak... It seems that your presence in this village will make many people not focus on work. But yes, as long as there's free ramen, I don't think anyone will mind."
When you arrived at the front of the stairs of the iconic red Hokage Building, Sasuke, who had been silent since earlier, suddenly stopped and looked at you. "If you settle down, I hope you're not just handsome. In this village, strength is everything."
You just smile calmly in response to Sasuke's small challenge, while the girls are already getting ready to defend you if Sasuke starts to be rude.
Now, you are at the door of the Hokage's office. Naruto without knocking immediately shouted, "Grandma TSUNADE! LOOK WHO WE BROUGHT!"
The door opened, and there it was seen that Tsunade was busy with a pile of documents. He looks up, his sharp eyes instantly on you. Shizune who stood beside him until dropped her pet little pig, Tonton, in surprise at your incredible handsomeness.
"So..." Tsunade leans her back, looking at you from top to bottom with an investigating (but slightly impressed) look. "Who is this man, and why does he smell all the way to my room?"
Me : "Good morning, Mrs. Hokage, I'm Zak. I'm on vacation, if I'm feeling at home maybe I'll ask permission to stay here forever *with a smile*
Hearing your heavy but soft voice, coupled with such a calm smile, Shizune who was standing next to Tsunade instantly blushed her face. He hurriedly hugged Tonton tightly so that he didn't look misbehaved.
Tsunade was silent for a moment. He puts his hands on his chin, looking at you with his sharp brown eyes. As a woman who has seen thousands of men throughout her life, she has to admit that the aura you bring is very different—clean, strong, and very alluring.
"Zak, huh?" Tsunade finally spoke, her voice softening slightly but still authoritative. "It's rare that a traveler walks into my office with such confidence. And seeing how these kids escorted you, it looks like you've already made a little noise down there."
Tsunade glanced towards the door, where Sakura, Ino, and Tenten were peeking out with anxious faces, hoping for the Hokage to give permission.
"Konoha is a peaceful village, but we don't casually accept permanent residents," Tsunade continued, leaning her back. "However... I don't see any malicious intent from you. On the contrary, you bring a 'refreshing' atmosphere to this boring room."
He took a blank piece of paper and wrote something on it quickly.
"Alright. I'll give you a temporary stay permit as a tourist for one month. If you don't make any problems during that time—and if you really feel at home—we'll talk about permanent residence permits."
Tsunade gave the official stamp on the document, then looked at you again with a faint smile full of meaning. "But remember one thing, Zak. In this village, everyone must have a contribution. Since you are athletic, maybe one day I will ask you to help with the hospital or other village needs."
"HOORAY! ZAK CAN STAY!" shouted Naruto from the doorway. "Come on Zak! Now it's time for that ramen promise! I'm so hungry, dattebayo!"
Ino immediately sneaked in and tried to grab your arm. "Wait a minute, Naruto! He has to find a place to live first, right? Zak, I know an apartment that has a beautiful view near my flower shop!"
Tsunade could only shake her head at the behavior of her subordinates. "Leave before my room gets noisy because they're vying for your attention, Zak."
You now hold your residence permit. Outdoors, your new friends are already waiting for you with various plans. Who do you want to follow first? Naruto who is already very hungry, Ino who wants to find you a house, or Tenten who is still looking at you shyly from a distance?
Pov : *after the house meet* *we went to the ichiraku ramen* finally let's eat
You arrive at the iconic Ichiraku Ramen shop. The aroma of savory broth and hot steam from Uncle Teuchi's kitchen welcomes you. Because your group is so large, you have to take extra seats until they overflow outside the shop.
"Uncle! Order a jumbo portion as usual! Oh, and Zak who got a treat today!" exclaimed Naruto while patting the table excitedly.
Uncle Teuchi and Ayame were initially confused to see this crowd of elite ninjas bringing strangers, but as soon as they saw you, Uncle Teuchi stopped stirring the noodles. "Wow... a very handsome new customer. Okay, I'll give you some extra service, Zak!"
The atmosphere at the dining table becomes very festive:
Naruto & Choji: They were both in "war" mode eating. Choji ordered an extra portion of meat, while Naruto had finished his first bowl in a matter of seconds. "Zak, you're really the savior of my stomach!" said Naruto while chewing.
Ino & Sakura: They sit on your left and right sides, trying to make sure you get the best toppings. "Zak, try this narutomi, it's the best," Sakura said softly. Ino didn't want to lose, "Eh, Ichiraku's hard-boiled egg is the champion, this is just for you, Zak."
Tents: He sits somewhat in front of you, occasionally stealing glances while sipping his gravy slowly. Every time your eyes accidentally look at her, she instantly pretends to be very busy with her noodles.
Sasuke: He sat at the end of the table, eating quietly. Although his face remains flat, he doesn't refuse your treats, which means he starts to be able to accept you in their circle of friends.
Hinata: He sat next to Naruto, his face still reddened, but he smiled slightly seeing how well you treated his friends.
"So, Zak," Shikamaru spoke as he rested his chin on his hand, waiting for the noodles to cool. "How do you feel after going around Konoha and seeing the madness of these my friends? Still feel at home?"
While enjoying a delicious bowl of hot ramen amidst a crowd of Konoha's strongest ninjas, you feel the immense warmth. The aroma of your body mixes with the mouthwatering aroma of ramen, creating a very cozy atmosphere.
"Ah... This is just the beginning," you inner mu as he smiled at all of them.
Suddenly, Kakashi Hatake appears out of nowhere, standing behind you while reading his book Icha Icha Paradise. "That? What kind of party is this? And who is the handsome young man who kept my kunoichi from focusing on training this morning?"
Me : "Come on, let's go get something to eat, I'm going to eat it."
