I Can Become Stronger Just By Teaching

Chapter 34: Hosakawa the Chef

"Minato, do you smell anything?" Kushina, who was about to cook, suddenly smelled an extremely attractive fragrance.

"I smell it, a very tempting aroma of fried food." Minato nodded.

"Yes, what a tempting fragrance. How on earth is it made?" Kushina sniffed the fragrance in the air and couldn't help but be curious.

She also cooks and has made fried food like tempura, but she has never smelled this alluring aroma. Just by smelling it, she can already imagine the perfect golden and crispy appearance of the food.

"No, I want 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 Hosakawa's home? 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 Hosakawa Makoto.

Although they had only known each other for a few days, Makoto left a deep impression on Kushina.

He has blond hair and blue eyes similar to Minato, is good at talking, and has strong teaching abilities. Most importantly, he also said that her red hair is beautiful.

Minato walked out, looked at where Kushina was pointing, nodded and said, "Well, it's Hosakawa's house."

"Let's go visit the neighbor!" Kushina pulled Minato and knocked on Makoto's house. door.

Makoto returned the shrimp into the bowl, put down his chopsticks, and walked to the door.

As soon as the door opened, Kushina couldn't wait to ask:

"Hosakawa, are you making dinner?"

"Sorry to bother you." Minato said with an apologetic look as he looked at Makoto's apron that had not yet been taken off.

"It's okay. I've finished cooking and was about to eat. You guys came just in time." Makoto said with a gentle smile, and then invited the two of them into the house.

Kushina followed the scent and walked to the dining table. When she saw the lightly fried tempura on the plate, her eyes lit up. This was the smell.

However, when she walked into Makoto's home, Kushina discovered that there was also the smell of fried rice.

"Hosakawa, you are still a hidden chef. I can smell the tempura from next door." Kushina praised.

"I'm not much of a chef. I'm used to cooking because I'm often alone." Makoto said as he took out two water glasses from the cabinet and poured a glass of water for each of Minato and Kushina.

"You can have a try, I just made them." Makoto took out two sets of tableware and said.

"Is that okay? I think you haven't eaten yet." Kushina said, staring at the tempura.

She really wanted to try what such fragrant tempura tasted like.

"Now let's eat." Makoto smiled and picked up the tempura in the bowl and put it in hir mouth.

"Excuse me, Hosakawa." Minato thanked.

"I'm starting." Kushina clasped her hands together and said in a very ceremonial manner, then picked up the chopsticks and inserted the steaming tempura into her mouth.

"Hmm!" Kushina's eyes widened as soon as she bit open the crispy skin and found the moist and tender shrimp inside.

An even more magical thing happened. Kushina seemed to be in the ocean in a trance, surrounded by a mysterious and magnificent blue world, and she was a free and carefree fish, happy in the sea all day long.

"Huh?" Kushina quickly woke up and almost thought she had just been hit by an illusion.

Then when she thought about it carefully, there was no one at the scene who could make her fall under the illusion.

"Makoto, how did you make this tempura? Could it be that you added strangely colored mushrooms?" Kushina asked doubtfully.

"Uh, no, it's just like this and that..." Makoto briefly described his cooking process.

At this moment, Kushina noticed that Minato seemed to be silent after taking a bite of fried rice. She looked at him and found that Minato was in a daze, so she patted Minato.

"Minato what's wrong with you?" Kushina asked.

Minato subconsciously replied: "Eating wild vegetables."

"Where are the wild vegetables here?" Kushina looked at the fried rice. Apart from the eggs, there were only chopped green onions and no mushrooms, so she asked doubtfully.

"I just finished eating fried rice, and in a trance, I seemed to have turned into a pheasant living in the forest..." Minato explained.

Kushina looked at the fried rice on the plate. The grains were plump and golden, as if they were glowing with gold.

Because she had been paying attention to the tempura, Kushina discovered that the fried rice seemed to be glowing!

"This. This is the best fried rice I've ever had!" Minato said, unable to help but shovel two spoonfuls into his mouth.

"Is it so delicious? You'd better try the tempura." Kushina said doubtfully.

Then Kushina had egg fried rice and Minato had tempura.

The expressions of shock and happiness appeared on their faces again.

""Ahhh~""

"Hosakawa, have you developed a ninjutsu that can make food delicious?! This is so amazing!" Kushina joked.

"If you have the idea of opening a restaurant someday, please tell me." Minato said seriously.

He is not a person who pays attention to material comfort, but Makoto's fried rice and tempura gave him an experience he had never had before. He even is tempted to make Makoto his own chef after becoming hokage.

"If you like it, you can come more often. It just so happens that my place is very deserted." Makoto invited with a smile.

"As long as you don't mind the trouble, you can try mine and Minato's cooking in the future, although it's not as delicious as yours." Kushina was a little excited when she heard Makoto's invitation.

"Then I have some expectations." Makoto replied with a smile.

After seeing the two of them off, Makoto secretly said that the new skill was really powerful.

Makoto took down some books from the bedroom on the second floor so that he could gradually show his interest.

With Makoto's encouragement, and with Asuma as a friend who leads by example, Obito is full of motivation. By Saturday, he will soon complete the control control training and start practicing the change of nature.

At the weekend, it was time for Makoto, the tutor, to work again.

"You liar!" Asuma scolded Makoto angrily.

Last week, in order not to waste the high tuition fees, he really practiced hard, and he was exhausted when he got home.

No matter how hard and painful the training was, Asuma hated Makoto so much after learning the truth.

"Oh, what lie did I lie to you?" Makoto asked with a smile.

"Your tutoring fee is obviously one thousand Ryo an hour, but you actually lied to me and said it was twenty-five thousand Ryo!" Seeing that Makoto refused to admit it, Asuma became even more angry.

"Then what did you lose? Did you really give me twenty-five thousand Ryo?" Makoto 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 100,000 Ryo, but in fact you only spent 4,000 Ryo and made a profit of 196,000 Ryo. You should thank me." Makoto said quickly.

"Did I make a profit?" Asuma thought according to Makoto's thinking, and it seemed that he did make a profit.

"It's okay now, let's start practicing." Makoto said leisurely.

"No, I am sure 12 out of 10 that something is wrong." Asuma felt heavy question marks on his head.
