I'll Come Clean: I'm Otsutsuki Iruka

Ichiraku, the ramen seller in the Hidden Leaf Village, is actually the head of the Otsutsuki clan and Kaguya's father.

He lies low amid the chaos of the warring era, viewing the shinobi world through the eyes of an ordinary person.

At last, as he loses all faith in this world, he comes to understand the true power of ramen.

"Feel the seasonings. Understand the broth. Pick up your chopsticks. Taste the ramen. From this moment on, let the world feel the power of ramen."

Determined to change a future in which no one eats ramen, Otsutsuki Ichiraku takes action.

Obito: "If you can bring Rin back to life, I'll follow you."

Nagato: "You are the true god of this world. The entire Akatsuki will act under your command."

Madara: "In your presence, I am the one who should be dancing."

Hashirama: "If you can correct my mistakes, I am willing to dedicate this village to your ideals and follow you."

As his followers multiply and his influence expands, a sweeping reform is about to begin.
