CH 7 𝕄ℝ.ℝ𝕒𝕞𝕖𝕟 (EDITED)

   After a while of walking out of the wooded area where the lady lived in they finally made it into town and were walking on the main road.

 Team 7 was following behind Naruto who was running almost sprinting down the street.

 They all shook their heads at thinking that he was trying to get to his favorite meal faster.

'Breathe  ᗷᖇᗴᗩ丅ᕼE Bᵣₑₐ𝚝𝓱e.'

The young boy told himself blinking back tears when a memory came through into his mind.

Flashes of memories of this street came into his mind.

The 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧 he felt back then he wish he could've D̶̨̡͖̠̱̪̓̋̔͗̓̋͠ͅÌ̸̮̰̱̗͎͛̐͠È̵̡̹͉̼̱̹̆̈́̒̈́͘͠ instead...

                                                                                      h̶e̶ ̶h̶a̶t̶e̶s̶ ̶p̶a̶i̶n̶

      When he was in front of 𝘐𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘳𝘢𝘬𝘶'𝘴 he wiped some of the tears off his face letting out a few coughs wiping his mouth and waited for his team to catch up while he put up a f̶a̶k̶e̶   smile.

  When he saw his team he gave them a big smile and started to wave.

But his arm stung and he whimpered a bit at the 𝐩𝐚𝐢𝐧 but then just blinked and pulled up a bigger smile and gave them a big wave with his left arm instead of calling them over.

 They arrived at the blond boy's favorite ramen shop and went inside together. 

    Entering the small homey shop the smell of meat, noodles, and spices hit you noise making you drool.

"Hey, old man we're here for ramen!!!!"

 Naruto yelled smiling a sunny (𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭) smile.

Pointing at the man with a white hat his back facing the counter cooking something. 

The smell was wayfaring in the air. 

The old man behind the counter turned his attention from the ramen to the bright blond boy yelling at him and gave him a smile.

   "Hey, Naruto haven't seen you in a while. Have a seat up front and I'll have a fresh batch up in a second."

 They all went up and sat on the front bar stool.

" How many ramen bowls this time Naruto?"

 Naruto opened his mouth to say 'Keep them coming.' 

But he remember that he had barely any money and he needed to save up for next month's rent. 

Naruto just nervously laughed 

"Uh, just one bowl I'm not that hungry today old man."

 The old ramen chef gave him a confused look but gave him an understanding smile which Naruto was grateful for and gave his attention to his team members taking their orders.

𝐓𝐞𝐮𝐜𝐡𝐢'𝐬 𝐩𝐨𝐯:

    I was in the middle of making a fresh batch of ramen for the next round of customers when I heard a little boy yell that I knew all too well.

"Hey, old man we're here for ramen!!!!"

I turned away from the food for a moment to see a cheerful smiling boy pointing at me.

I smiled and chuckled under my breath at him still calling me old man

  "Hey, Naruto I haven't seen you in a while. Have a seat up front and I'll have a fresh batch up in a second."

   I responded to the boy he smiled more cheerfully running to the spot where he always sat.

He bounced in his seat and drooled at the smell that was coming from the stove while his teammates just rolled their eyes at him and his sensei was just reading his book not paying attention.

'I'm glad he's safe. I haven't seen him for about two months.'

I looked up at the boy and asked

" How many ramen bowls this time Naruto?"

    I saw how he froze out of his daze and thoughts of ramen and open his mouth seemingly about to yell but then patted his jacket pocket and nervously laughed then just stuttered out a. 

"Uh, just one bowl I'm not that hungry today old man."

    At first, Teuchi was confused by the blond's behavior but the remembered how he hated being in debt to someone and just probably that he just didn't have the money to pay.

    Teuchi just smiled at the little boy in understanding as he took the other teammate's orders.
