Due to their current prestigious status, Uchiha Ryun and Tsunade were arranged by Akimichi Torifu to sit in a private room on the second floor.
What puzzled Uchiha Ryun was the absence of a menu. After asking Akimichi Torifu, he learned that Torifu planned to serve every type of grilled meat available. They could order more of whatever they liked.
Both Uchiha Ryun and Tsunade were flattered and couldn't help but feel that Akimichi Torifu was truly a good person.
Just serving one portion of each type of grilled meat would cost nearly 8,000 ryo, not to mention the additional orders if they wanted more. Akimichi Torifu was incredibly generous!
Soon, the waiter brought in plate after plate of the most tender and fresh cuts of meat. The slices were marbled with red and white, glistening with a layer of golden oil. The meat had already been pre-marinated.
Even Uchiha Ryun couldn't help but secretly swallow his saliva. The raw meat looked so good he felt he could eat it as is. This was his first time eating grilled meat since his transmigration.
Back when he watched anime, he always thought the Akimichi clan's grilled meat must be delicious. So much so that in various games, the Akimichi clan's grilled meat often appeared as an item.
After arranging the meat, the waiter lit the charcoal and placed the grill on top.
Seeing that it was about time, Akimichi Torifu smiled and said, "Please enjoy your meal." Then he left the private room, closing the door behind him. He also instructed the staff to stand guard outside the door, ready to fulfill any requests from the esteemed guests and serve dishes immediately.
Uchiha Ryun picked up a slice of meat with his chopsticks and placed it on the grill. In the blink of an eye, his Mangekyō Sharingan activated!
He watched as the meat's texture gradually cooked under the charcoal's heat. The moment the redness completely disappeared, he lifted the meat with his tongs and placed it on Tsunade's plate.
Tsunade was stunned, then her lips curled upward. Hehe, Ryun's first bite for me! So sweet! Just looking at it, it seemed delicious!
How could it not be delicious? He had even activated his Mangekyō Sharingan, observing every cell of the meat until the perfect moment of doneness—neither overcooked nor undercooked—before picking it up.
Tsunade smiled and said, "Thank you, Ryun!"
She picked up the grilled meat with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth.
Uchiha Ryun's eyes lit up. "How is it? Is it good?"
He was a little nervous. This was his first time grilling meat for a girl, and he had been extremely careful.
Hadn't he even activated his Mangekyō Sharingan for this? (Mangekyō: With an owner like you, I've hit the jackpot of bad luck!)
"Mmm! So delicious, Ryun! Tender, soft, fragrant... Mmm~ This is the best grilled meat I've ever had!" Tsunade's eyes sparkled as she praised it sincerely.
If it weren't delicious, that would be the real problem. Shocking! A certain Uchiha ninja activates his Mangekyō Sharingan in anger, all for grilled meat! Is this the distortion of human nature or the collapse of morality?
Seeing this, Uchiha Ryun relaxed. Knowing Tsunade enjoyed it put him at ease. So he continued grilling. Just as he was about to pick up another slice for Tsunade, she beat him to it, offering him a piece first.
Uchiha Ryun froze, then noticed Tsunade blushing as she said, "I often come to Akimichi's grilled meat too, Ryun. Try my grilling skills!"
In that moment, his heart felt warm.
Love is mutual. You feed me, so of course I'll feed you too!
Uchiha Ryun placed the meat he had grilled onto Tsunade's plate, then accepted hers and put it in his mouth. Mmm~ Sweet, fragrant, sticky, soft, and savory all exploded on his taste buds at once.
Delicious. Not just physically delicious, but spiritually and psychologically satisfying too! It was the first time he had eaten meat grilled by a member of the opposite sex other than his mother.
"Huh? Ryun, why are you crying?" Tsunade asked after finishing the meat Uchiha Ryun had just given her. She looked up and noticed his expression.
Uchiha Ryun was startled. Was he? He touched his cheek and felt moisture. At the same time, he realized something—his ocular power had increased! He could see even farther now!
"It must be because the meat you grilled was so delicious that I cried without realizing it! Haha!" Uchiha Ryun joked, providing rich emotional value that made Tsunade blush and secretly rejoice.
Tsunade sat on her chair, her legs swinging under the table. The corners of her lips curled upward uncontrollably, betraying her joy. She lightly bit the tip of her chopsticks, giggling foolishly to herself.
Uchiha Ryun was a little confused. Why had his ocular power increased just from eating grilled meat? He asked his system.
"Ding! The Uchiha clan is a clan of love. Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are all emotions, and emotions directly influence ocular power. It's just that the power of anger is too strong, making people mistakenly believe it's a cursed power."
Uchiha Ryun nodded in understanding. So that was how it worked. He looked up at Tsunade's delighted expression, feeling warmth in his heart. Then, without stopping his hands, he activated his Mangekyō Sharingan again and continued grilling the meat with meticulous care.
The sizzling sound of oil and the intoxicating aroma of meat filled the air. The two took turns grilling for each other, feeding each other bite after bite. The meal lasted until 3 p.m. before they finally finished.
When they stepped out of the room, the waiter, hearing the noise, quickly went to the cashier area to notify Akimichi Torifu. Torifu smiled, patted the waiter's shoulder, and said, "Good job. I plan to promote you to manager in two months!"
The waiter immediately bowed and said, "Thank you, store manager."
Akimichi Torifu waved his hand, and the waiter understood, returning to his duties.
Torifu, meanwhile, cheerfully headed upstairs. Now that Uchiha Ryun was a Konoha elder, an Uchiha elder, the man Tsunade favored, and bore titles like "Military God" and "Crimson Gold Slayer," Torifu naturally had to treat him with importance.
Just as Uchiha Ryun and Tsunade opened the door to leave, they ran into Akimichi Torifu. Torifu grinned broadly and asked, "Ryun, Lady Tsunade, how was the grilled meat? Did it suit your tastes?"
Uchiha Ryun smiled. "Extremely delicious, Uncle Torifu. Thank you for your hospitality."
He then reached for his money, but Torifu immediately stopped him.
"Hey, what are you doing? Are you trying to embarrass your Uncle Torifu? Put that away, seriously!" There was no way Torifu would accept payment for this meal!
Tsunade tugged at Uchiha Ryun's sleeve. "Ryun, Uncle Torifu is right."
Uchiha Ryun thought for a moment, then nodded. "Alright, then thank you, Uncle Torifu. With the New Year approaching, I'll visit with Tsunade and bring gifts to trouble you again!"
Akimichi Torifu raised an eyebrow and laughed.
"Just come, no need for gifts. I'll prepare big red envelopes for you and Lady Tsunade then! Hahaha."
Perfect! This would deepen the relationship between their families. What Akimichi Torifu valued was the Uchiha clan led by Uchiha Ryun, not the arrogant Uchiha of the past.
To be precise, in his heart, Uchiha Ryun's status and abilities were rising rapidly. At just 18 years old, his strength had already reached Kage-level. A true powerhouse! By the time he reached his prime at 30, who knew how far he would go?
Perhaps one day, he might even reach the heights of those two legendary shinobi! Therefore, befriending Uchiha Ryun was absolutely necessary.
Akimichi Torifu also instructed the waiter to bring two bottles of freshly produced milk for them. "Drink it before bed. It helps with sleep!"
"Thank you, Uncle Torifu!" they said in unison.
Torifu stood at the door, waving at them with a smile that lingered long after their figures disappeared from sight. Only then did he return to the shop to continue working.
I think daily life should be written too. What do you all think?
