"Minato, do you smell anything?" Kushina, who was preparing to cook, suddenly smelled an extremely tempting fragrance.
"I smell it, a very tempting fried aroma." Minato nodded.
"Yes, what an alluring fragrance. How is it made?" Kushina sniffed the fragrance in the air and couldn't help but feel curious.
She also cooks and has made fried foods like tempura, but she has never had such an enticing aroma. Just by smelling it she can imagine the perfect golden and crispy appearance of the food.
"No, I need to go out and take a look." Kushina said and walked out.
She sniffed the scent in the air carefully and found that the source of the scent was the house to the right of Minato's house.
"Hey, isn't this Hanyu's house? Minato, come out quickly." Kushina waved to Minato in the room.
If she remembered correctly, this house was the home of the ninja school teacher Hanyu Muyue.
Although they had only known each other for a few days, Mu Yue had left a deep impression on Kushina.
He has blonde hair and blue eyes similar to Minato, is very good at speaking, and has strong teaching abilities.
Minato walked out, looked at where Kushina was pointing, nodded and said, "Yeah, it's Hanyu's house."
"Let's go visit our neighbors." Kushina pulled Minato and knocked on Mu Yue's door.
Mu Yue put the shrimps into the bowl, then put down her chopsticks, walked to the door and opened it.
As soon as the door opened Kushina couldn't wait to ask,
"Hanyu, are you making dinner?"
"Sorry to bother you." Minato said apologetically as he looked at Mu Yue who had not yet taken off her apron.
"It's okay, I've finished and was about to eat. You came at the right time." Mu Yue said with a gentle smile, and then invited the two into the house.
Kushina followed the smell all the way to the dining table and saw the slightly golden tempura on the plate. Her eyes lit up instantly. This was the smell.
However, when she walked into Mu Yue's house, Kushina discovered the aroma of fried rice.
"Hanyu, you are a hidden chef. I can smell the aroma of tempura from next door." Kushina praised.
"I'm not really a great chef, I'm just used to cooking since I'm often alone." Mu Yue said as she took out two cups of water from the cupboard and poured a glass of water for Minato and Kushina respectively.
"You can try it. I just made it." Mu Yue said as she took out two sets of tableware.
"Is it okay? I see you haven't eaten yet." Kushina said, staring at the tempura.
She really wanted to try what such fragrant tempura tasted like.
"Let's eat now." Mu Yue smiled and picked up the tempura from the bowl and put it into her mouth.
"Thank you for your help, Hanyu." Minato thanked him.
"I'm starting to eat." Kushina clasped her hands together and said very ceremoniously, then picked up the chopsticks, picked up the still steaming tempura and put it into her mouth.
"Hmm!" As soon as Kushina bit into the crispy outer layer, she saw the juicy and tender shrimp inside, which made her eyes widen instantly.
Something even more magical happened. Kushina seemed to have come to the ocean in a trance. She was surrounded by a mysterious and magnificent blue world, and she was a free and carefree fish, swimming happily in the sea all day long.
"Huh?" Kushina quickly came to her senses and almost thought she had just been caught in an illusion.
Then she thought carefully and realized that there was no one at the scene who could make her fall into this illusion.
"Muyue, how did you make this tempura? Did you add mushrooms of strange colors?" Kushina asked puzzledly.
She heard that there were ninjas who went to the forest to pick mushrooms to eat in the summer, and when they entered the Konoha Hospital, they still said that there were too many branches and leaves on their bodies and asked if anyone could help them trim them.
"Um, no, it's just this and that..." Mu Yue briefly described her cooking process.
At this moment, Kushina noticed that Minato seemed to have eaten a mouthful of fried rice and didn't say much. She looked at Minato and found that Minato was in a daze, so she patted Minato. "Minato, what's wrong with you?" Kushina asked.
Minato replied subconsciously: "Eating wild vegetables."
"Where are the wild vegetables here?" Kushina looked at the fried rice. Apart from eggs, there were only chopped green onions and no mushrooms, so she asked in confusion.
"Just after eating fried rice, I seemed to have turned into a pheasant living in the mountains..." Minato explained.
Kushina looked at the fried rice on the plate. Each grain was plump and golden, and seemed to be emitting a faint golden glow.
Because she had been paying attention to the tempura, Kushina discovered that the fried rice seemed to be glowing!
"This is the best fried rice I've ever eaten." Minato said and couldn't help but scoop two spoonfuls into his mouth.
"Is it really that delicious? You should try tempura." Kushina said doubtfully.
Then Kushina ate egg fried rice and Minato ate tempura.
Expressions of shock and happiness appeared on their faces again.
"Hanyu, have you developed a ninjutsu that can make food delicious? This is so delicious!" Kushina said jokingly.
"If you ever think of opening a restaurant, Hanyu, please let me know," Minato said seriously.
He was not a person who paid attention to material enjoyment, but Mu Yue's fried rice and tempura gave him an experience he had never had before.
"If you like, you can come and visit more often. It's quite quiet here." Mu Yue invited with a smile.
"I'm glad you don't mind the trouble. You can try my and Minato's cooking in the future. Although it's not as delicious as yours." Kushina was a little excited when she heard Mu Yue's invitation.
"Then I'm looking forward to it." Mu Yue replied with a smile.
After seeing the two off, Mu Yue thought to herself that the new skill was indeed powerful, and they were almost able to eat from each other.
Mu Yue brought down some books from the bedroom on the second floor so that she could gradually show her interest.
…
With Mu Yue's encouragement and his friend Asuma setting an example, Obito is full of energy. By Saturday, he will soon complete the training of his control ability and begin practicing nature changes.
When the weekend comes, it's time for Mu Yue, the tutor, to go back to work.
"You liar!" Asuma scolded Mu Yue.
Last week, in order not to waste the high tuition fees, he practiced really hard and was exhausted when he got home.
No matter how hard and painful the training was, Asuma hated Mu Yue after learning the truth.
"Oh, what did I lie to you about?" Mu Yue asked with a smile.
"The fee for your tutoring is clearly two thousand taels per hour, but you actually lied to me and said it was twenty-five thousand taels!" Asma became even angrier when he saw Mu Yue denying it.
"Then what did you lose? Did you really give me 25,000 taels?" Mu Yue continued to ask.
"Of course, I..." Asuma wanted to say something, but suddenly realized that he had nothing to lose.
"Look, you didn't lose anything, you even made a profit. You thought you spent 200,000 taels, but in fact you only spent 16,000 taels and made 184,000 taels. You should thank me." Mu Yue said quickly.
"Did I make money?" Asma thought according to Mu Yue's idea, and it seemed that he did make money.
"That's all right now, let's start practicing." Mu Yue said slowly.
"No, something is absolutely wrong." Asuma felt something was wrong.
