As time passed, Jiraiya gradually smelled the fragrance coming from the kitchen.
"It looks like fried fish?" Jiraiya smelled the aroma and guessed what Mu Yue was cooking.
"The fragrance is quite good, but I don't know how it tastes." Jiraiya touched his stomach. He felt a little hungry without realizing it.
Fortunately, Muyue and Minato didn't keep him waiting too long. Just when Jiraiya was thinking about what to write in the novel, Muyue and Minato brought all the prepared dishes.
Jiraiya was instantly attracted by the squirrel fish with its peculiar shape and extremely appetizing color. Although he encountered many unique delicacies when traveling around the ninja world, this was the first time he saw fish cooked in this way.
"What's the name of this dish? It must have taken a lot of effort to shape it." Jiraiya asked curiously after taking a look at the squirrel fish.
"The name of this dish is Squirrel Fish, and its shape is indeed the characteristic of this dish." Mu Yue introduced with a smile.
"Teacher Jiraiya, don't underestimate it because it doesn't look complicated. It's actually quite difficult to make. Kushina and I have been learning for a while but we still can't make it like Mu Yue. The taste is even more different."
Minato talked about the difficulties he and Kushina had in learning how to make squirrel fish, and when he mentioned that Kushina had learned halfway and directly handed over the flower knife cutting steps to him, a helpless smile appeared on Minato's face.
"Haha, that sounds like something Kushina would do." Jiraiya said with a smile.
"Let's eat the dishes first. They should be eaten while they are hot." Mu Yue reminded.
Some dishes taste completely different when they are hot and when they are cold.
Jilai didn't hesitate to do so. He just stretched out his chopsticks to pick up some fish meat and put it into his mouth. When he did so, he felt a little sorry for ruining such a beautiful dish.
But soon the regret in Jiraiya's heart disappeared. He bit through the crispy shell and found extremely tender fish meat inside. The sweet and sour soup on the fish meat made Jiraiya's appetite open. He felt even hungrier after taking a bite of the fish.
After eating the fish, Jiraiya felt as if he had turned into a dragon and rushed into the vast ocean, swimming freely. He no longer needed to search around the world for the son of prophecy who could change the world.
When he came to his senses, Jiraiya found that what Minato said in the letter was not an exaggeration at all. It was so delicious that it felt like an illusion. Just for a moment, Jiraiya experienced the feeling of ultimate relaxation for the first time in a long time.
"The timing of frying the fish is really well controlled, and the sour-sweet ratio of the soup is also perfect. No matter if it is more sour or sweet, it can't achieve this effect."
Jiraiya made some comments, and when he looked at the squirrel fish, he suddenly realized that half of the fish meat was gone. Minato just kept eating without saying a word.
"Minato, when did you eat so fast?"
Jiraiya couldn't sit still anymore. Minato ate so much just after he said a few words, so Jiraiya stopped talking and quickly ate.
Not only the uniquely shaped squirrel fish, but also the ordinary-looking braised pork with preserved vegetables and stir-fried pork with chili peppers made Jiraiya unable to help but eat bowl after bowl of rice.
"Muyue, your fried pork with peppers tastes delicious, but why don't you put more meat?" Jiraiya looked among the large amount of peppers with sharp eyes, and finally picked up a piece of meat and asked puzzledly.
"If there is more meat than pepper, it won't taste like this." Mu Yue explained.
The pepper fried pork he made was not just peppers but meat. It was just that the peppers were not eaten, so there seemed to be a lot of peppers in the end.
"That makes sense. Cooking is similar to ninja training. If the proportions are disrupted, it will fail." Jiraiya touched his chin and agreed. To synthesize Sage Chakra, it is necessary to coordinate the ratio of chakra and natural energy.
"Then this dish is better served in a larger portion," Jiraiya suggested.
Since adding more meat will ruin the taste, adding more chili and meat will not ruin the proportion.
"I, Jiraiya, would like to call you the best chef in the ninja world. This is the first time I have eaten such delicious food after traveling all over the world for so many years." Jiraiya praised.
This was the first time he couldn't help but want to suck the chopsticks clean while eating.
Although Minato's description of Mugetsu's cooking was outrageous, after eating it, Jiraiya found that Minato's description was actually realistic and did not use any exaggerated elements.
"I don't dare to claim to be the best in the ninja world. I just put more thought into cooking." Mu Yue said modestly.
"Haha, the extra thought you put in means a lot." Jiraiya smiled and looked at Mu Yue with great favor.
At this time, Minato suddenly coughed twice, and said with an apologetic look on his face:
"Mu Yue, I have something to apologize to you for."
Mu Yue guessed something in her heart, but with a puzzled expression on her face, she asked,
"What is it? Did you pick up the food too quickly when eating? That's unnecessary."
After hearing Mu Yue's words, Minato felt even more embarrassed and explained,
"I really didn't speed up on purpose. It's just that your food is so delicious, so I ate it quickly subconsciously."
Mu Yue knew that Minato might really be like this, after all, Minato had superhuman reactions.
Then Minato showed a serious expression and apologized:
"I'm sorry Mu Yue, I lied to you when I said I didn't have time to eat. In fact, I wasn't particularly busy during that time. I just wanted to bring food to Kushina, so I made up an excuse that I was very busy."
"So that's it. I knew it a long time ago. No one is so busy that he would come here every day to eat for free." Mu Yue said with a smile.
Sometimes you can act stupid, but you can't let others think you are really stupid.
"Kushina is undergoing secret training, so she can't come over, but she really wants to eat your cooking, Mu Yue, so..."
Minato and Mu Yue gave a brief explanation, hiding a series of secret information such as Kushina's identity and surveillance of the Anbu.
It can no longer be concealed, because Minato will go to the battlefield with Jiraiya in a while, and he can't leave a shadow clone to bring food to Kushina at that time.
"Sorry to trouble you, Mu Yue." Minato said apologetically.
"It's okay, I just make one more meal. It's nothing compared to your help with my sealing technique." Mu Yue nodded with a smile, indicating that Kushina would not starve if she stayed in Konoha.
After dinner, the three of them sat together and chatted for a while. At first, Jiraiya asked Mu Yue questions about cooking, and then they talked about sealing techniques.
"I have an idea. I will set a seal in my body and store some chakra in it. When the combat chakra is not enough, I will release the chakra in the seal to quickly replenish the chakra." Mu Yue expressed his idea.
Jiraiya and Minato both have a high level of sealing skills, and they know more local knowledge than him as a time traveler. Mu Yue wants to take this opportunity to find inspiration.
Anyway, to put it bluntly, this is just an idea and a fantasy, and it is impossible to see his true level of sealing skills.
"It's a good idea, but it's basically impossible to realize it." Jiraiya thought for a moment and replied.
"Your idea comes from the Jinchūriki's tailed beasts, right?" Jiraiya asked.
Mu Yue nodded. In fact, his inspiration came from Tsunade's Yin Seal.
"The reason why Jinchūriki can use the chakra of the tailed beasts is because the tailed beasts have very unique properties. Sealing them into the human body can achieve the effect of integration. No matter how much chakra the tailed beasts have, it will not affect the chakra meridians and acupoints."
"But your idea is different. If you want to store your own chakra, you must set up sealing techniques on the chakra meridians, not to mention the difficulty of setting up sealing techniques on the chakra meridians.
A large amount of chakra is suddenly released at a certain meridian point. The gushing out of a large amount of chakra will affect the chakra of your entire body and cause it to fall into chaos, making it impossible for you to release ninjutsu. How can you use it in battle?" Jiraiya explained.
"And we also have to consider the damage that a sudden burst of chakra would cause to the body."
Jiraiya's words suddenly made Mu Yue realize a lot. He had previously thought that Tsunade's Yin Seal was to maintain her appearance, so the Hundred Healings Technique released by the Yin Seal became an automatic medical ninjutsu mode that could not be turned off once it was activated.
According to Jiraiya, it was not that Tsunade wanted to heal herself automatically but that she had no choice but to do so. Otherwise, the sudden surge of chakra would become a negative state that would hinder herself, just like the chakra that opened the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu.
Jiraiya's words were indeed of great help to Mu Yue. Before, he only thought about building a power bank in his body, but ignored other aspects.
However, Mu Yue did not give up the power bank plan directly. Jiraiya thought it was impossible, but he might not be able to do it because he was a cheater.
He has a transparent world and absolute control over his body. He can complete any delicate operation inside, and he also has an excellent talent for sealing.
Mu Yue had only studied the sealing technique for half a year but he had already mastered the Five Elements Sealing and Contract Sealing techniques. He was also already proficient in the Evil Sealing Technique taught to him by the third generation not long ago, and had already mastered the Fire Sealing Technique.
"Maybe I can first make an automatic Rock Breathing Pattern Seal." Mu Yue thought to himself.
He could stop innovating and imitate Tsunade to create a fully automated sealing ninjutsu.
The reason why it is called Rock Breathing is because the Rock Breathing pattern has an extreme strengthening effect on the body, even the inside of the body can be strengthened to prevent the sudden emergence of chakra from hurting the body.
"Thank you, Lord Jiraiya, for your reminder. I took it for granted." Mu Yue thanked.
"It's okay. The most important thing for young people is to think more. If you don't even dare to think, how can you be called a young person? Haha." Jiraiya patted Mu Yue's shoulder and said with a smile.
"Mu Yue, this makes me feel ashamed. I have never thought about this kind of thing. I was just trying to improve the effects of some sealing techniques." Minato said with a smile.
If the person who said this was not Minato, Mu Yue felt that person must be in Versailles. Those who can improve the sealing technique are the ones who truly understand the sealing technique.
But as for Minato's words, Mu Yue felt that Minato might really think that his imagination was good.
When the time was almost up, Minato and Jiraiya left.
Mu Yue gave an appraisal when Jiraiya left.
