Konoha: Start with omniscience and omnipotence

Chapter 19 [019] Fish

How efficient is a ninja?
According to the statistics of the Konoha Logistics Department, during the Second Ninja War, a standard frontline team only had five to 10 minutes of eating and excreting time a day.

They are able to squeeze in all the extra hours of the day for a quick run and a quick break.

The ninjas in the sealing class can even draw sealing scrolls and a large number of detonating symbols at the same time during the rush, with hands, feet, and even mouths.

In order to obtain higher survivability on the battlefield and better meet the operational requirements of the headquarters, everything that their subordinates need to accomplish is extremely fast.

And this efficiency, which has reached the limit of human beings, is also successfully reflected in their grabbing food.

"Swoosh! Pop—"

Qiudao Dingzuo's fat body showed a sensitivity that did not match his size at the moment of snatching the fish.

On his face, which was always plump and simple and honest, there was a ferocious expression as if he was facing an enemy.

Those big bear-like hands controlled the thin chopsticks with the most ingenious and delicate force, like a spirit snake jumping, quickly passed the several dishes in front of him, and picked up five or six pieces of fish accurately and clamped them on the chopsticks with their backhands central.

Then he opened his bloody mouth with an 'ah' sound, stuffing that big face to the brim, chewing on his cheeks, chewing and swallowing the thorns together.

For a moment, Qiu Dao Ding Zuo couldn't help showing an expression of intense satisfaction filled with happiness.

Only a few acquaintances sitting beside him looked shocked because of their good relationship with him.

Immediately afterwards, they looked at the dishes in front of them that were decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the speed under their hands suddenly increased a bit.

good to eat!

Even a little too delicious.

All the young ninjas who were happily chatting just now forgot to chat at this moment. A few of them were bewildered, and after tasting the fish on the plate, they also joined the meat grabbing team.

In the living room, which seemed warm and joyful at first, there was only a continuous tinkling sound left for a while.

Fortunately, Aida Masaki's craftsmanship is still inherited from his previous life, and he is used to stir-frying rice in a large northern pot in his hometown, so that each plate is full of meat and vegetables, even if the Akimichi family suppresses them, it is enough to fill their stomachs.

Otherwise, maybe there will be a few hungry people left because of their slow response.

The young ninjas present couldn't tell why it was delicious, or what kind of fish it was
When eating, no one cares about these.

They only felt that after they took a bite or two, they couldn't stop the slight warmth like a massage from their stomachs.

That is the feedback of the body's instinctive reward mechanism brought about by the rapid increase of life energy.

It's like the body deliberately made the reproduction system into a reward mechanism in order to encourage human beings to reproduce, causing people to habitually practice guiding skills in the middle of the night when there is no one around.

When you eat something good, your body will give you a high level of feedback, and then eat more-this is also the body's natural response.

Among the people present, only Kushina Uzumaki was in a bad mood, so she was too lazy to compete with them today, and just picked some vegetables on the plate to eat.

Not at all the domineering spirit of the previous 'Blood Red Pepper' big sister.

"Kushina?"

Only Minato's tone was puzzled.

After all, Kushina is the pickiest eater he has ever met.

Since she was a child, she didn't like vegetables, and she didn't like boiled carrots. Like a little princess, she was picky and picky about everything she did.

After a pause, he asked cautiously:
"Don't you like fish?"

Jiuxinna was taken aback for a moment, then scratched his face embarrassedly and said with a smile: "I like to eat."

"only."

"No, not too picky."

"Ah! Not at all."

While organizing her words and trying to explain, she put a piece of fish meat on the dinner plate as if to prove something, slowly picked out the fishbone in the meat with chopsticks, and said in a voice that only two people could hear:

"Because in the past, when adults ate fish, they only needed to roll their tongues a little bit to pick out the fishbone."

"Only I can't learn it all the time. My throat is always stuck, crying and making noise."

"So when I was young, Grandma Mito kept saying that I was a 'stupid tongue'."

"Minato also knows, right?"

Namikaze Minato listened silently at the side, and also smiled when he heard the words, but he snatched several more slices at the right time, and continued the conversation:
"Yes, there's also Alu, your oral habit when you were a child."

"That's to prevent talking too fast and biting your tongue all at once!"

Uzumaki Kushina gave him an angry look, but when her eyes turned back to the dinner plate, her emotions gradually calmed down.

Because she is not proficient at pulling out fishbone, the piece on her dinner plate has been pulled out for a long time, and there are still several thorns left.

The fish was a bit cold.

But Jiu Xinna's attention was not on the dinner plate, but continued:

"...Although Grandma Mito said that at the time, she still often bought fish to cook."

"But because I'm clumsy, she always pulls out the thorns for me at home before putting them on my plate."

"The fish soup stewed by grandma is the best, and the tofu is also delicious."

"And fish, too."

"So, after seeing all kinds of fish on the table just now, I suddenly felt something. From now on, it seems that no one will help me remove the thorns."

"This kind of slightly... regretful feeling?"

"Sorry, I suddenly thought so."

Jiu Xinnai was a little embarrassed while talking.

Even if he is surrounded by his childhood sweetheart who grew up with him, it is actually a bit embarrassing to tell such childhood embarrassment in front of him.

However, Jiu Xinnai didn't know why, as if his heart had become a dam that had been flooded for a long time, carrying a heavy negative pressure that he could not bear alone, and urgently needed to open the gate to pour it out.

In the days when she lost her last relative, Grandma Mito seemed to be everywhere in her life.

Even though Kushina is now a mature ninja who has experienced war, she is still just a 15-year-old girl who lost all her family.

Therefore, when Namikaze Minato asked, she naturally expressed the pressure, loneliness, and sense of emptiness about the future that could not be shared with others.

During the whole process, even she herself didn't think about whether it should be done or not.

Kushina just thought—ah, if it was Minato, he should be able to hear me finish these strange words, right?

She herself wasn't too sure.

"Here."

Kushina was muttering in her heart in embarrassment, thinking that she was a little too reckless, and wondered if Minato would feel that she was too naive and immature, when he heard his voice suddenly in his ear.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Minato with chopsticks in one hand and a small plate in the other, smiling gently.

In that small plate, there are six or seven slices of fish filled to the brim.

Each piece is carefully removed and picked clean one by one, and it is white and tender, looking very clean.

Kushina was stunned suddenly.

Minato looked at her a little strangely, and smiled again: "This fish is delicious, Jiang Hui cooks it himself, it's absolutely delicious!"

Seeing that the girl was still in a daze, he added another sentence and said softly:
"Don't worry, the thorns are gone."

"."

After being stunned for a long time, Jiu Xinnai took the plate, and a smile suddenly appeared on the originally calm goose egg face, and suddenly said:
"Shuimen-kun."

"I'm here."

"Has anyone ever said that you are actually very suitable to take home as a wife?"

"Eh?!"

The young Minato-san suddenly showed a look of astonishment, his eyes widened in surprise, as if he was wondering how Kushina came to such a conclusion.

He was puzzled for a long time before he approached and muttered in a low voice:

"Well, in fact, my orientation is quite positive."

"Pfft hahaha."

Seeing Minato's stunned expression, Kushina couldn't help laughing, her face turned red.

After a long time, she heard her mutter in a low voice:
"Fool."

When the laughter died down, the girl seemed to have regained her usual carefree vigor, and unceremoniously stretched out her chopsticks to pick up the fish.

At first, she was just very reserved and took a bite like a little princess.

But after taking the first bite, the rich taste experience made her feel like an electric current ran from her tongue to the root of her hair.

"What kind of meat is this?"

"Is Aida-kun's craftsmanship so strong?"

“Amazing, simply delicious!!”

Followed by the second and third bites, the meat on the plate was quickly swept away.

Soon, as if nothing had happened to her just now, she threw herself into the meat grabbing activity that was still going on, and ran amok.

Seeing this, Minato, who had a dull expression just now, gradually relaxed.

It's great to be refreshed.

Uzumaki Kushina, who can say 'sorry' from her mouth, doesn't look like her at all.

Jiu Xinnai has to be energetic to be like Pepper!
Although it would be nice if it could be a little more gentle.

He didn't notice the little bright pink ears under the girl's red hair.

"Idiot~"

Aida Masaki, who saw their young couple fighting from a distance, couldn't help but smiled happily when he was half full.

It is very rare to see the water gate deflated.

After scanning the surrounding guys who were about to be overwhelmed, he knew in his heart that this 'product display' had a perfect result.

Sure enough, before he could finish digesting it, he saw Akimichi Dingza, who also had bright red hair, knelt down to Masaki Aida's side with great sincerity, with a pious attitude almost like a pilgrim, with a serious tone:

"Mr. Jianghui!"

"Although it's an unfeeling request, I really have something to ask for!"

"Ok?"

Aida Masaki didn't react, and suddenly there was a solid muffled sound in his ear.

"boom!"

Qiudao Dingzuo's fat head hit the floor hard, and then began to rub wildly, almost crying:
"Where is this kind of fish that you cook sold?!"

　I came back late today, and this chapter was not very easy to write, so I overturned and rewrote it, which took a long time.

　　terribly sorry.
