"Amazing! This wild boar is really huge!"
At this moment, Uchiha Tōshirō had already safely returned to Canyon Campsite with his companions.
Their main prey today, a wild boar weighing over 300 pounds, was placed on a simple wooden sled, being dragged forward by the six of them.
The other children, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, gathered around in small groups, watching curiously and occasionally exclaiming in amazement.
Usually, their prey consisted of wild chickens, rabbits, or fish caught from the river. Today, these little rascals got a real treat.
Uchiha Ryūka, Uchiha Yuki, Uchiha Mamoru, and Hono all seemed like victorious ninjas, returning to the village to be welcomed by the villagers. They walked proudly, not giving anyone a second glance, with an air of arrogance.
Some of the more observant girls noticed the fatal wound on the wild boar. They blushed and covered their eyes with their hands. However, some of them didn't cover their eyes tightly enough, and their bright eyes could still be seen peeking through the gaps.
Uchiha Tōshirō let his companions take over and continue dragging the wild boar's carcass. He was a bit stumped, as it would be impossible to scald such a large boar to remove its hair. He would probably have to skin it directly.
Moving it would be very difficult, and he didn't have any suitable tools or cutting boards at hand. Looking around, he spotted a shallow gravelly area by the river and had an idea. He would have to do the work himself, as he couldn't count on these little rascals.
"I'll tell you, that wild boar was only a body length away from me, and I did a forward roll..."
"Ryūka, stop boasting. Take them and drag the wild boar to that shallow area. Be careful not to cut your feet on the stones in the river!"
It was impossible to roast the whole boar, as they wouldn't be able to finish it, and it wouldn't taste good without being marinated. Noticing some good stones nearby, Uchiha Tōshirō decided to try a different method. He had already prepared some barbecue materials.
"Everyone, don't just stand there watching. Gather more firewood. And Shō, you're always fishing by the river. Are there any smooth stone slabs nearby? Preferably large but not too thick, and made of solid material. They shouldn't be too brittle."
Uchiha Ryūka, whose "highlight moment" had been interrupted, was a bit unhappy. However, seeing the threatening look in Uchiha Tōshirō's eyes, he blushed, apparently remembering something, and quickly complied, acting like a sycophant.
Uchiha Tōshirō pulled out a thick-backed machete from his backpack, a tool specifically for chopping branches. He never thought he would become a "butcher" one day...
Under the warm spring sun, in the canyon by the Naka River, the Uchiha Clan's children were divided into three groups, quietly waiting.
"Tōshirō! Is this going to work? I've never seen anyone grill on a stone plate →_→" Uchiha Ryūka spoke up again, truly the best at causing trouble.
"Whether it tastes good or not, we'll find out soon. But Ryūka, you did really poorly today. Hmm! As punishment, you'll have to grill the meat for us!" Uchiha Tōshirō glanced at the restless guy and said confidently.
In front of him was a makeshift barbecue stand, with a fire pit made from stones found nearby. The inside was lined with mud from the river, and a vent was left for air and fuel. The stone slab was placed on top, creating a specialized stone plate grill in the ninja world.
He felt the temperature of the stone slab, which was already starting to heat up. Uchiha Tōshirō personally added the oil he had prepared in advance, spreading it evenly with a brush. He explained the process to the other groups as he worked.
Using chopsticks, he picked up about 20 slices of pork from the large leaves used as plates and placed them on the stone slab. As the meat started to sizzle and release oil, he quickly applied the sauce and flipped the slices.
A light breeze carried the scent of grilled meat, mixed with the aroma of chili and cumin.
"Mmm, delicious! It's really delicious! Better than what I've had at Barbecue Q^_^" The first to grab a piece was Uchiha Asahina. Usually quiet, she knew the importance of being the first to act.
"Really? Asahina, are you fooling us?" Uchiha Ryūka was skeptical, having been fooled too many times. During their "Werewolf Game," he and the others were often tricked by her and Hono.
"Ahh! You're all so cunning!" Before he could react, the grilled meat on the stone slab was almost gone.
The cooking skills and seasonings might not match Barbecue Q, but the freshly killed wild boar, especially the shoulder meat, was perfect for grilling, and the novel way of eating it made it even more appealing.
For a moment, the sounds of snatching the meat rose and fell.
"You're so stupid! Ryūka, don't you quickly add more meat?" Asahina grabbed the last piece of grilled meat from the stone slab, ignoring Ryūka's teary-eyed look, and added a final jab.
...
"Shō, don't put so much firewood, it's already starting to smoke! It's choking!"
"Who collected this firewood? It's still wet!"
"Ryūka, you fool, brushing so much sauce, do you want to kill us with spiciness so you can eat all the grilled meat yourself?"
"Stop, stop, if you pour more oil it's going to overflow!"
Even though these six or seven-year-old children had successfully extracted chakra, their self-organized camping trip was still a bit bumpy and noisy.
These twenty or so little rascals finished about 80 to 90 pounds of wild boar meat in one go. Even though they had all successfully extracted chakra, their appetites and digestive abilities far exceeded those of normal children, but this amount still exceeded their capacity.
"So full! I feel like my stomach can't hold any more!" Uchiha Tōshirō and everyone else sat on the grass, hands behind their backs, quietly enjoying this leisurely and pleasant time.
"Yeah! I'm so happy! I really want to stay in this moment forever..." someone sighed.
The wind gradually picked up, blowing over the distant mountain ridge, across the hillside, over the hill, and sweeping through the lush valley.
The colorful mountain flowers on the hillside swayed in the wind, making a 'rustling' sound.
The clouds in the sky drifted by with the wind, and the sunlight filtered through the gaps, casting long beams of light in front of everyone. The lush and massive tree canopies swayed in the wind, making a 'rustling' sound, and the tree shadows also moved incessantly. The sound of trickling water nearby brought a sense of inner peace and tranquility.
Amidst this symphony of nature, Uchiha Tōshirō's eyelids fluttered a couple of times, and he fell into a deep sleep...
