Creating Manga of Naruto in Ninjas World Become my Ultimate Goal! Chapter 12: Ichiraku Ramen

____________

"Looks like he inherited your gentle nature…"

Ikkaku muttered softly as he watched the next scene unfold.

In this scene, Ikkaku could clearly see everything — Iruka was telling Naruto that he couldn't go ho until he cleaned all the paint off the Hokage Sidefaces.

But Naruto's reply, "So? It's not like there's anyone waiting at ho for ," caused Iruka's expression to shift from anger to pity, and beyond that… to sadness.

"He feels sorry for Naruto… It turns out the boy's an orphan who lives alone."

Kohari placed a hand over her mouth to keep herself from crying.

"What a kind kid…"

Ikkaku smiled as he saw the next page, where Iruka suggested taking Naruto for a bowl of ran after he finished cleaning.

"Pfft~ Haha! Look at his shy face… he looks just like you when I praise you, dear!"

Kohari giggled softly as Iruka's cheeks turned red at the sight of Naruto's bright, happy expression.

"I see… he does resemble you more than ."

Ikkaku smiled; he was truly enjoying this story.

Although he didn't yet understand how this was possible, sothing inside him scread it clearly— Teacher Iruka, that academy instructor, was his son…

Yes, it sounded strange, but he and his wife both shared this sa feeling.

Who would have thought this manga could predict the future?

Even though the Art Store stated it plainly, no one truly believed they could glimpse the future within its walls while simply relaxing.

Everyone thought it was just a marketing lie.

But the Umino couple felt that the store's slogan — "Co relax and discover the future while you're at it" — might not be a marketing lie at all.

It might actually be the truth.

And that feeling grew stronger with every page they turned.

This wasn't happening just to the Umino couple, but also to the Third Hokage…

And recently, two teenagers had started to feel the sa way.

…

"Hahaha! Naruto is so funny!"

"What an amazing jutsu! I almost lost myself in that sexy beauty…! I totally sympathize with Teacher Iruka!"

"Hahaha! Such a troublemaker! But adorable… I love Naruto-kun!"

"Sigh~ No one's waiting for him at ho? Looks like he's an orphan…"

"Teacher Iruka is so kind… he feels bad for Naruto."

Not even half an hour had passed, and many people already found themselves completely hooked on what was called manga.

At this stage, most didn't think the story had anything to do with the future or anything of the sort — they believed it was simply entertaining fiction, authored by Rubiro, the store owner.

While most had already moved on to later chapters, so perverts were still stuck on the very first page — specifically, the scene with Naruto's "sexy jutsu."

That "creation" alone surpassed all the adult magazines they followed!

A brand-new door of entertainnt had just opened for these pathetic individuals.

…

Kushina placed the manga volu on the table and began reading the first chapter with full focus.

Silence… and then more silence.

So quiet that only the sound of her calm breathing could be heard.

Yet Rob could feel the storm of emotions inside the little girl.

It wasn't just her — Minato beside her looked even more stunned…

As if detached from reality while reading the manga.

At that mont, both Kushina and Minato felt as though they had traveled into the future — standing among a crowd of ninjas beside the elderly Hokage, who was yelling at Naruto for painting over the Hokage's sidefaces.

Then the events sped forward to the academy scene, where Teacher Iruka scolded Naruto harshly.

Since Naruto didn't seem affected by the scolding, Iruka decided to conduct a surprise test…

Kushina covered her eyes and blushed when she saw Naruto transform into a seductive girl.

Minato's cheeks reddened too; he quickly turned his head and pinched his nose tightly.

He even pinched himself to feel pain — just to stop his "little brother" from rising.

(N/B: Yes, a 13-year-old boy can easily get aroused. Fight if you think I'm wrong.)

In the next scene, both Kushina and Minato found themselves sitting atop the Hokage's sidefaces mountain.

Minato's eyes narrowed suspiciously at one familiar face carved in the mountain — he was standing right on the Fourth Hokage's head, which Naruto was cleaning.

anwhile, Kushina watched Iruka telling Naruto he could only leave once everything was spotless.

For so reason, her heart ached when Naruto said there wasn't anyone waiting for him at ho…

Without realizing it, two tears slipped down her cheeks.

"Huh? Tears…?"

The 13-year-old girl wiped her eyes and was startled when she felt the wetness on her fingers…

She didn't understand why she was crying.

Minato felt the sa sadness.

"Why do I see myself in this kid called Naruto…?"

Being so young, Minato couldn't yet understand why he felt such a connection to a boy his own age from within the manga's pages.

As they turned more pages, the duo was transported again — this ti, to a well-known ran shop in the village: Ran Ichiraku.

It was clearly depicted in the manga page — Iruka taking Naruto to Ran Ichiraku.

The na was written boldly on the shop front.

Not only that — the shop itself looked almost unchanged.

Even though nearly ten years had passed since it first opened, it still retained the sa traditional charm, even far into the manga's future.

Minato wiped away drool as he watched Naruto devour ran with enthusiasm…

The scene made him hungry, as well.

He also wanted to eat at Ran Ichiraku; he loved it so much.

…

Kushina and Minato weren't the only ones wandering the streets of Konoha through the manga's story — the Third Hokage felt the sa connection.

"Heh~ So you're saying you'll surpass all the previous Hokage? What ambition! Hahaha! Seems like the protagonist of this fictional story has a fiery spirit… how wonderful to see such a seed in Konoha."

"He reminds a lot of Minato."

When the Third Hokage looked at Minato, the illusion shattered for a mont, and reality returned.

But it could easily be regained by simply refocusing on the chapter.

Who could have imagined that Minato would one day father such a mischievous boy nad Naruto?

'But why does he bear the Uzumaki na? Don't tell …?'

The Third Hokage turned his gaze toward Kushina, sitting beside Minato.

Kushina was the Nine-Tails' jinchūriki — a precious asset of the village.

Her connection with the talented Chunin, who might very well beco the Fourth Hokage soday, was sothing he himself would gladly see happen.

But all that was still re speculation — both Minato and Kushina were too young for such matters.

The Hokage shook his head, driving away those thoughts, and continued reading the manga with growing curiosity.
