Naruto: Starting as the Third Hokage with Tears in His Eyes

Chapter 235 The Forced Feeding of Wind

Danzo Shimura: "..."

Uchiha Kagami: "...We're fine."

However, Akimichi Torifu completely ignored their explanations. In his simplistic logic, performing a mission equals expending physical energy, which in turn equals being hungry and requires eating meat.

An incredibly rich and domineering aroma of meat instantly filled the air, completely overpowering the faint smell of blood and the salty taste of the sea breeze.

That aroma is the sizzling sound of top-quality pork belly being grilled to perfection over charcoal, the fat dripping out, mixed with the Akimichi clan's secret sauce, and catalyzed by just the right amount of heat, creating the ultimate temptation.

Just holding it in your hands, its heavy weight is enough to intimidate any normal person.

"Come on, don't be shy. This was just heated up!"

As Akimichi Torifu spoke enthusiastically, he used an agility completely disproportionate to his size to stuff the two portions of grilled meat into Danzo and Kagami's mouths without saying a word.

The incident happened too suddenly.

Neither Shimura Danzo nor Uchiha Kagami, whose dynamic vision far surpassed that of ordinary people, could react at this moment.

Or rather, their brains simply couldn't process the idea of ​​being forcibly fed roasted meat on a hospital ship that had just ended the war into their normal emergency response plan.

next second.

Two huge chunks of roasted meat, radiating a sizzling aroma, were precisely stuffed into their mouths.

"Mmm!"

"Ugh...!"

Danzo Shimura's face instantly darkened.

His mouth was filled with the warm, oily, and fragrant roasted meat, which made all the words he wanted to say stuck in his throat, and he could only make muffled protests.

That perpetually poker face now looked somewhat comical because his mouth was forcibly forced open.

I felt my dignity and image vanish in that moment.

He began to chew, wanting to swallow what was in his mouth as soon as possible so that he could free his mouth to scold Akimichi Torifu, that unruly fellow.

however……

Feel the rich, yet not greasy, meat melting in your mouth; the intense juices mixed with the savory sauce instantly ignite your taste buds.

The inner struggle of Shimura Danzo and the dark lines on his face formed a stark contrast.

good to eat.

That was the first thought that flashed through his mind.

Then, a second thought came to mind: what part of the Konoha dolphin is the source of this high-quality protein? The ratio of fat to lean meat is about four to six, making it extremely high in calories.

For the members of the construction department who are engaged in intensive labor at the Nanga River Reservoir, this may be an excellent source of energy.

When we get back, we need to discuss with Sakumo whether we can use this specific cut of meat as a special allowance to supply frontline construction workers, in order to improve work efficiency and team morale...

Uchiha Kagami's situation wasn't much better. His gentle and refined demeanor had vanished completely. He tried hard to maintain his composure, but the grease oozing from the corners of his mouth betrayed him.

He tried to swallow, but his heart was filled with a mixture of laughter and tears.

That guy, Qu Feng, really... hasn't changed at all.

But for some reason, when that familiar, domineering, and smoky flavor spread in my mouth, my slightly tired spirit from using the kaleidoscope felt a strange sense of comfort.

Is this... the taste of peace?

Tsunade, who was standing to the side, couldn't hold back any longer when she saw this absurd scene.

She was stunned at first, then her shoulders began to tremble uncontrollably, and finally she couldn't help but cover her stomach with her hands and let out a loud, silvery laugh.

"Hahahaha... Senior Tokifune... what... what are you doing?!"

The laughter was crisp and cheerful, and infectious. It made the medical ninjas around them, who had been looking somber due to the tense atmosphere after the war, relax and put on kind smiles.

Being ridiculed in public, even someone as thick-skinned as Danzo Shimura couldn't help but feel embarrassed.

He swallowed the roasted meat in his mouth with force, then shot a gaze at Akimichi Torifu with a look that could almost freeze a person.

However, Akimichi Torifu was completely unaware of this.

He was proudly showing off his victory to Tsunade.

"Tsunade, you don't know, this is the latest achievement of our Konoha Ecological Farm. It's the second Konoha-exclusive pig, personally bred by Sakumo. Its meat is even more delicious than the first pig!"

"The barbecue uses our Akimichi family's newly developed No. 37 secret sauce. It incorporates three new ingredients into the herbs specially supplied by the Nara family, which effectively neutralizes the greasiness of the oil and promotes protein absorption!"

He spoke with great enthusiasm, as if he weren't talking about barbecue, but rather introducing a brand new S-rank ninjutsu.

Akimichi Torifu looked at the two "victims" with anticipation, "Danzo, Kagami, what do you think? Does it taste better than last time?"

Danzo Shimura wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth expressionlessly and squeezed out two words through gritted teeth.

"Can."

Uchiha Kagami nodded approvingly and said gently, "Torifu, your cooking skills have improved again. This is indeed a rare delicacy."

"...Very unique."

"Hahaha! I knew you guys would like it!"

Akimichi was even more pleased with himself after receiving a positive reply.

The bridge of the entire medical ship was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

The shadow of war seemed to be completely dispelled at this moment, replaced by the joy of the victors and the warmth among comrades.
