Chapter 161
"Nothing about Mihai should be told outside." Maoyue Xiyan's voice suddenly came from a big tree in the distance, startling the three little birds.
"Hey..." Shikamaru held his heart and whispered to vent his dissatisfaction. Just now, he even touched a kunai with his hand.
Ino and Choji weren't much better. Although it hasn't been that long, the experience during this time has truly changed them.
The battlefield has a powerful invisible stance that can easily pull a person from the ivory of peace to reality.
The three little ones have unknowingly become accustomed to being ninjas.
Just like they had never considered why they touched the kunai when they suddenly heard a strange noise, the transformation happened quietly and naturally.
Maoyue Xiyan emphasized again: "Including your parents, you are not allowed to mention anything about Mihai to anyone without my permission."
The three little ones only looked at each other, and even they could detect something strange from Maoyue Xiyan's order. But Maoyue Xiyan had no intention of further explanation. She just stared at the three little ones silently, waiting for their answer.
"Understood." The three little ones agreed without any hesitation.
Ninjutsu is too magical, and there are too many secrets in the ninja world. As a ninja, everyone has one or two unknown secrets. For example, the three little animals each have their own secret arts inheritance. The three pig, deer, and butterfly families have been friends for generations, but the secret arts still have not been exchanged with each other. ’
It's not surprising at all that a child of a former ANBU ninja has some sort of secret heritage.
Curiosity is curiosity. Since the leader of the team has issued a gag order, the three little ones can't restrain their curiosity.
But since Mikai was mentioned, Choji actually decided that he should go there again. Although the incident was an accident, Choji admitted that he was not without responsibility. At least he still had to be sincere in apologizing properly.
A manly man, keeping his head low is not embarrassing.
After chatting with Ino and Shikamaru for a while, Choji excused himself to leave because he had something to do. Ino and Shikamaru just thought that Choji was going to practice again and didn't care.
After the three little ones separated, Dingci went straight to the kitchen in the camp.
To show sincerity, of course one cannot be empty-handed, and the Akimichi family's gift was nothing but food. Choji, a young leader of the Akimichi clan with upright roots and a bright future, naturally inherited the traditions of the Akimichi clan.
The border guard's camp was temporarily borrowed. It was originally an empty camp, with only a few firewood in the kitchen and no food supplies. Dingci's food reserves were confiscated by Mihai again, making it difficult for a clever woman to make a living without rice.
Choji sighed and turned to the street to buy ingredients.
The shops in the military town are relatively concentrated and are all operated in a unified manner, which saves Choji the process of shopping around. The ingredients were all very fresh, and Choji bought more with a tremor of his hands.
Choji simply planned to bring out all the members of Team Xi.
"Can the children buy so much?" the vegetable seller asked with a smile.
"It's okay." Ding Ci smiled innocently and made a seal, and his figure immediately expanded to more than two meters tall. With one big hand, he grabbed the full brown paper bag from the stunned vegetable seller.
"Goodbye, sister." The muscular man over two meters tall waved his hands innocently with a smile. After three seconds, the vegetable seller suddenly shuddered when she looked at Choji's broad back.
Choci, who was carrying large and small packages back to the camp, happened to be bumped into by Ino: "Choci, what are you doing?" As he said this, Ino naturally reached out and took one of the brown paper bags from Choci's hand.
"It's so heavy!" Ino changed from holding it with one hand to hugging it with both hands.
"Hehe, I'll show you my skills today!" Dingci smiled innocently and went straight to the kitchen.
Ino followed Choci step by step. It wasn't until Choci entered the kitchen that Ino realized what Choci probably wanted to do.
Ino couldn't help but look surprised: "Hey! You can't do it!"
Dingci put down the large and small packages he brought back, and arranged the various ingredients in order: "Hey, it's the one you were thinking of."
Ino looked at Choji suspiciously, as if getting to know his childhood sweetheart again: "Why didn't I know you had this skill? Have you done it before?
"No, but I have a hunch that it can be done!" Ding Ci looked confident.
Ino hummed, but his green eyes seemed to be shining. Instead of stopping Choji, he actually helped. They appear to be well-behaved, but in reality they are always worried about the world being in chaos. Growing up, whenever the three little ones got into trouble, it was most likely Ino's instigation.
Ino expressed great interest in dark cooking.
"I don't think it's necessary to take my share." Interest is interest, but Ino himself is not a guinea pig for food testing.
Dingci curled his lips unconvinced: "That's not a blessing for you. By the way, all the food reserves I brought are at Mihai's place. Is Mihai back?"
"I'm back. I immediately locked myself in the room when I came back. I seem to be in a bad mood." Ino replied casually.
Choji didn't ask any more questions and focused on handling the ingredients.
The main ingredients are rice and cabbage. Choji has never eaten pork but has seen pigs running away. It is not easy to make a pot of rice, but it is not a problem to make a pot of rice porridge.
There are only two secrets: one is to add more water, and the other is to increase the fire.
After finishing the main course, it’s time to get the main course.
This batch of cabbage is relatively small. Choji doesn’t know whether it’s because of the wrong season or because of the variety. Anyway, Choji felt that these cabbages were useless except for being beautiful and edible.
There was no kitchen knife in the kitchen, so Choji pulled out a kunai. Roughly peel off the outermost leaves, then cut off the head and tail. Cut the remaining cabbage leaves into slices. After cutting, I remembered that they hadn’t been washed yet.
When Choji came back from fetching water, Ino had already lit the stove pit.
Instead of buying oil, Choji bought a piece of fat meat. Meat in the ninja world is expensive. Choji didn't buy any lean meat or pork belly, but simply bought a piece of fat.
Peel the fat and chop it into small pieces and add it to the pot. It will make a sizzling sound and the aroma of barbecue will immediately fill the air. Choji didn't care, this piece of fat was used to produce fat.
Taking advantage of this time, Choji washed the cabbage again and chopped the millet pepper and garlic.
Take out the oil shuttle that has lost water by drying it, and add the cabbage roughly.
Oil and water collided, and oil droplets splashed for a moment. Then Choji realized that there was no shovel for cooking. Choji had no choice but to find a rag to put his hands on, and taking advantage of his rough skin and thick flesh, he started to play spoon-turning.
In order to prevent the vegetables in the pot from falling off, Choji had to flip the pot all the time, while Ino helped add firewood and blow air.
When the cabbage in the pot was almost broken, Choci threw the minced millet, pepper and garlic into the pot. Salt is a necessary survival material for ninjas. Choji also poured some brown sugar he just bought into the pot to season it.
