Chapter 91: Riding the Bitter Without Flying!
The next morning.
When Yahiko and the other two met again, Yahiko's expression changed somewhat.
It seemed like a sense of realization that a certain decision had been made.
As for Nagato and Konan, needless to say, they always listen to Yahiko, and they will obey Yahiko's decisions unconditionally.
The Souji didn't interfere; whatever decision they made was their own business.
The Souji spent some money to borrow the inn's kitchen, then led everyone to the kitchen, distributed a menu to each person, and pointed to the ingredients laid out, saying:
"Alright, now follow this recipe and start making Momotaro rice balls."
"What is that?" Nagato asked, puzzled.
"Special food for summoned beasts. We'll rely on this to form a contract with the dragon."
"This..." The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
They initially thought the Souji had something to rely on when he confidently said he wanted to make a contract with the dragon, but it turned out he was just making rice balls.
"Who among you is the best cook?"
"I can't do it at all, don't count on me."
Sasori immediately answered, and stepped aside with his arms crossed, clearly unwilling for a dignified Kage-level puppeteer to be making rice balls.
"Really? And what about you?"
Souji didn't press the matter. He looked at Konan and instinctively felt that Konan, being a girl, was probably the best cook.
However, Yahiko chuckled upon seeing this and waved his hand, saying:
"Souji, you don't need to look after Konan anymore. We used to rely mainly on Nagato for cooking. Konan isn't even as good as me... Ugh!"
Konan punched Yahiko in the chest with her little fist, silencing him instantly.
The next moment, Konan expression changed instantly from one of displeasure to one of confidence, and she patted her chest and said:
"Souji, don't worry, I'll take care of making the rice balls!"
"Konan, let me do it..."
"Nagato, shut up."
Nagato tried to dissuade her with a worried look on her face, but was frightened by Konan's cold voice and dared not say anything more.
Souji also sensed something was wrong, but Konan, because of Yahiko's teasing, had already taken it seriously and it seemed there was no way to stop her.
"Will the effectiveness of recipes generated by the system be affected by individual cooking skills?"
Souji wondered as he left the kitchen with Sasori.
Yahiko glanced at the recipe, then looked at the pile of ingredients, his expression somewhat puzzled.
"Dried foxtail grass, crushed large sandworms, pig liver, crayfish shells... Ugh... Would dragons really like to eat this stuff?"
"I don't know... but since it's a recipe given by the captain, it should be real, right?" Nagato was also puzzled.
"You guys talk too much nonsense! While you were chatting so slowly, I had already started!"
Konan rolled up her sleeves, looking very energetic, and with a cleaver, she chopped the crayfish in half, shell and all, along with the cutting board underneath.
"Then add a spoonful of sugar, a spoonful of soy sauce... Isn't the taste too ordinary?
Add some chili to adjust the flavor, and the taste will have more layers."
Yahiko and Nagato watched as Konan busily added ingredients to the rice balls, speechless, but seeing the gleaming knife in Konan's hand, they dared not utter a word.
Souji heard various strange noises coming from the kitchen, including occasional explosions, which made him somewhat alarmed.
How do you make these sounds when you're making a rice ball?
The chief was prepared to lose money for the hotel, so he ignored it and looked at the system message.
[Killed three elite Jonin, reputation +60,000]
[Slayed seven Jonin, reputation +35000]
[Slayed 22 Special Jonin, reputation +11000]
[Reaching a reputation of 600,000 will reward you with a high-level sealing technique.]
Name: Mochizuki Souji
[Identity: Elite Jonin]
Chakra: 100,000
[Ninjutsu: Mochizuki-ryu Kunai Combat Technique, Mochizuki-ryu Kunai Throwing Technique, Others]
[Fame: 691200 (Renowned throughout the Ninja World)]
[Example: Never misses a shot: Ignoring the difference in strength and all means, it will always hit the target (no limit)]
[Ultimate Kill (Level 5): Ignores all methods, guaranteed to kill the target, only effective against elite Jonin level and below (Kunai limited)]
[Upgrading the Ultimate Kill skill to level 6 requires 1 million reputation points]
In the previous battle, Souji and Sasori joined forces to kill more than 300 Kirigakure ninja, including former Seven Ninja Swordsmen of the Mist such as Umino Rokuro, as well as Jonin and Special Jonin with high reputation values, plus a few Chunin and Genin, for a total of more than 110,000 reputation.
The new reward is high-level sealing techniques, which include advanced sealing techniques such as Corpse Demon Sealing, Four Symbols Sealing, and Eight Trigrams Sealing, all bundled together and given to him at once.
However, sealing techniques that require other conditions are not included, such as Chibaku Tensei (Planetary Devastation) which requires the Rinnegan, and Myōjinmon which requires Sage Chakra.
Of course, these advanced sealing techniques are quite useful.
If you also improve your basic sealing techniques to the point of mastery, it will be much more convenient to do things like free purchases in the future.
My reputation has reached 690,000, just a little short of getting another reward. It's a bit of a pity, but it should be soon.
The goal of reaching 1 million reputation points, which once seemed unattainable, is now more than halfway achieved, and it seems that it won't be long before it is reached.
When you reach level 6, your ultimate skill means you can absolutely kill even a Kage-level opponent.
I still have some concerns about Kage-level opponents.
In battle, I need to be wary of encountering reckless individuals who insist on trading one for one with me.
If I can't guarantee that I will kill them, I might actually get the chance to trade with them, and then I would die unjustly.
But when he can even kill a Kage-level opponent, then he no longer has this concern.
Without Hashirama, Madara is old and dying, meaning he has no rivals in the current ninja world.
Then we can truly begin the great undertaking of changing the ninja world, and also prepare to resolve the hidden dangers of the entire ninja world caused by Madara, Zetsu, and Kaguya.
One hour later.
"Souji! I'm ready!"
Minami walked out of the kitchen with a bright smile, picked up the mesh bag containing Momotaro rice balls and shook it.
If you didn't see her looking disheveled and unkempt for some reason, you would really think she was doing very well.
Yahiko and Nagato were also covered in dust and dirt, looking as if they had just gone through a great battle, and were quite exhausted.
However, they were both carrying net bags full of rice balls.
Judging from their appearance alone, the rice balls made by the three people were almost identical.
I don't know if this is due to the system's influence or Konan's strange ability, but although the process was obviously wrong, the finished product looked normal.
As for what's inside, I don't know... Let's see what the dragons think when we get to Dragon Island.
"Anyway, now that the rice balls are made, let's head to Dragon Island."
Souji took out a kunai and used the Super Light Heavy Rock Technique and other related techniques to make the kunai levitate.
Then he used the Kunai Giant Body Technique to make it grow to more than five meters in size.
It's big enough for several people to stand on.
Souji jumped onto the giant kunai first, then waved to the crowd and said:
"Come on up."
"Ah, this..."
Yahiko and the other two were shocked.
"Souji, this is... are we supposed to stand on this kunai and fly over?"
"That's right!"
Sasori was also somewhat dumbfounded when he saw the enormous kunai.
Although each major ninja village has some skilled individuals who can use special techniques to make puppets or other objects carry them in flight.
However, there has never been anyone who uses kunai to carry themselves...
Ignoring their reactions, the Souji had everyone stand on the kunai and began to use wind manipulation to fly on the Kunai.
