Chapter 97: Thought of Taking a Disciple

When Kushina lifted the lid, something miraculous happened—the moment the lid was removed, a red light actually radiated outward.

But when Kushina and Minato looked closely, it seemed there was no light; it was just that the dish's color was too vividly red.

Gazing at the mapo tofu that filled her sight with bright red, Kushina swallowed her saliva and said:

"Muyue, you didn't say you'd put that much chili in it. It looks so spicy!"

She had thought Muyue would only add one more chili pepper, but judging by the color of the mapo tofu, Kushina felt the entire dish was dominated by spiciness.

"This dish is indeed a bit spicy, but it's not just spicy—it also has fragance, heat, crispness, numbness, and several other flavors," Muyue explained.

Hearing Muyue say there were so many flavors, Minato took the lead in scooping up a portion with his spoon and putting it into his mouth.

"Spicy!" Minato's first impression after eating the mapo tofu was spiciness—an indescribable spiciness. He felt that Muyue's "a bit spicy" was especially spicy for him.

It was so spicy that in a daze, Minato felt as if he had gone to a world full of flames, where fire was erupting everywhere, blazing hot beyond compare.

But mapo tofu wasn't just about spiciness; soon multiple flavors burst in Minato's mouth, immersing him in the delicious food.

"Go talk to Yexinnai about it. If she's willing to come study with you, then let her come," Muyue said.

However, judging by Obito's recent performance, Muyue felt that teaching those things to Obito probably wouldn't be of much use.

After all, he had just been promoted, so it was reasonable that he couldn't beat those from the original Team A.

"The taste is meat, but actually it's not meat—it's processed soybeans," Muyue explained, telling the two the principle behind it.

Yexinnai couldn't wait to fast-forward time to tomorrow and share the good news with Yexinnai.

"Absolutely incredible—soybeans can actually be made to taste like this!" Kushina found it extremely amazing.

When Muyue mentioned the ingredients needed for Magic Mapo Tofu, Kushina asked in doubt:

After speaking, Minato quickly scooped several spoonfuls of tofu into his bowl and continued savoring it.

"You should first master your own ninjutsu properly." Muyue tapped Obito on the head with two fingers together.

"Stop pretending. Do we even need to disguise the relationship between us? Besides, the news has spread through all three teams now—there's no point in you continuing to pretend."

"Why do I feel like everyone is staring at me?" Ebisu muttered, sensing the gazes coming from all directions.

"Teacher Muyue, how do you teach others ninjutsu?"

"I really didn't develop it; I just made a suggestion!" Ebisu felt his ninja academy career was already saying goodbye to him.

"Delicious!" Minato praised earnestly.

Hearing Muyue agree, Obito immediately cheered.

After the meal, the delicious Magic Mapo Tofu became the topic of after-dinner conversation.

"Ebisu, I never thought you, a proper-looking kid on the surface, would play so big behind the scenes." Shiranui Genma gave Ebisu a punch in the chest and said.

"I tasted it too." Minato nodded.

"I feel like I explained it pretty clearly, but Rin still can't understand." Obito sighed.

…

"My good friend Yexinnai also joined the summer special training, in Team B." Obito told Muyue what had happened today.

It was indeed very numbing and spicy, but also very fragrant. Kushina even tasted meat in it.

Kushina remembered that she hadn't eaten any meat in it.

Hearing Obito's words, Muyue fell into thought.

"As expected, Muyue the Sage is all-powerful!" Obito said excitedly.

"Isn't it just developing a more adult-oriented ninjutsu? Just be bold, Yexinnai." Shiranui Genma said.

Muyue thought about it—teaching Yexinnai had two benefits.

"It's really delicious!" Kushina also quickly scooped several spoonfuls of tofu with her spoon.

But Obito soon came up with another good idea: since he couldn't teach Yexinnai and Muyue couldn't make him much better at teaching, why not just have Muyue teach Yexinnai directly?

As for Muyue, he did have knowledge about how to be a qualified teacher, after all, he was a normal school student—that was his major.

Ebisu heard Shiranui Genma's words; although he knew what had happened, he instinctively felt something was off.

The next day, Huang Herong went to the training ground as usual in the early morning, ready to receive special training.

"Why ask that? Who does he want to teach?" Muyue asked.

Muyue was a bit speechless; just as Obito had described, he felt Obito's teaching level was about the same as Naruto's—teaching someone ninjutsu was about as effective as letting the other person take a look and then develop it on their own.

Kakashi also had S-rank potential, and he was already on the path of rapid growth; he was a good choice.

Because he still had to go train his disciples, Muyue quickly said goodbye to Minato and Jiumapo, saying there was no time to let them watch the cooking process again.

One was to stimulate Obito to train even harder, and the other was to have the opportunity to trick Kakashi into becoming a disciple.

Kushina saw that Minato was eating so eagerly, and she knew the dish must taste very good, so she also took a bite.

"If you have time at noon, let me show you that Confusion Technique; I want to challenge your weak spot," Shiranui Genma said jokingly.

Just thinking about being able to train with Yexinnai in the future, Obito was so excited he couldn't contain himself.

Last time when he monopolized the promotion list alone, he gained a lot of attention, but yesterday his performance in Group A was not good, so there was no reason to attract everyone's attention.

"But I clearly tasted something that tasted like meat," Jiumapo was a bit confused.

We are all students of Class 7-8, and our relationship is pretty good.

Minato also felt that Muyue's cooking skill was truly unheard of and unseen—he could even make small beans taste like meat.

Shisui was training in Phoenix Flower Claw Crimson, Might Guy was training his physical body and the use of Meiqiti, and Obito was continuing to work toward the entry level of Ti.

"Could it be that even the all-powerful Muyue the Immortal has no way this time?" Obito lowered his head, a bit disappointed.

"Adult techniques, all eight groups know..." Guessing what had happened, Ebisu's eyes rolled back and he almost fainted.

Although it was very spicy, it was just too delicious—Jiumapo couldn't control her own hand.

Going to the Southern Border Forest, Muyue routinely helped his disciples train.

"There is no meat among the ingredients," Muyue said affirmatively.

However, he could only be a disciple in reality; on the system side, it was not confirmed.

"Muyue, did you forget an ingredient? Isn't there meat?"

Currently, the system only has seven disciple slots, with only one vacancy left; giving it to Yexinnai is obviously impossible.

"Confusion Technique?" Ebisu vaguely guessed what had happened, and his heart sank immediately.

"Teacher Muyue, actually Dalin's grades are not good either. I think she urgently needs your guidance," Obito recommended to Muyue.

He had originally tried it with a mindset of giving it a shot, after all, he couldn't force Muyue to teach Yexinnai.

When the training time was almost up, Obito asked Muyue:

There is still one chapter that will come a bit later.
