Chapter 67 Curry House
Asuma looked at the map very carefully. They couldn't be said to be close. One was in the River Country and the other was in the Fire Country, but both were in the same mountain range.
He thought about it carefully and said, "It is possible that there is a connection between the two, but there is no need to worry too much. Even if hostile ninjas appear, we can deal with them. I believe that you are all excellent ninjas."
Ino curled her lips, feeling that what he said was not appropriate, but she didn't take it too seriously. Asuma was very powerful, and she was a little suspicious. Zabuza should be in the Land of Waves at this time, and it was impossible for him to cross the Land of Fire and run to the Land of Rivers in the west to cause trouble.
Even if this group of ronin is in collusion with the previous bandits, so what? Just kill them.
It’s a pity that Buggy and Dongfeng were drafted into forced labor, otherwise we could have gotten some information by asking them.
The four of them went back to pack their bags, and an hour later, they gathered at the village entrance.
Every time Ino came to the village entrance, she would greet the gatekeepers Kamatsuki Izumo and Gang Zitetsu to get to know them.
No matter whether “Lao Tie” is Danzo’s illegitimate son or not, it’s always a good idea to build a good relationship with him.
Konoha Village has suffered so many disasters, but look at them? Nothing happened to them from the beginning to the end. The two of them stood at the gate every day, like door gods, and as a result, they lived safely until Boruto. This is a real talent, you can't help but admire it.
Kamijutsuki Izumo and Gang Zitetsu admire Asuma very much, and it's a bit like fans seeing their idol.
Ino couldn't understand where their admiration came from.
Team 10 wrote down the time of leaving the village, number of people and destination on the registration form nearby. After the four of them signed in turn, they left Konoha Village.
After traveling through the mountains and forests for two days, Team 10 finally emerged from a jungle and entered the territory of the River Country.
The last time we went to suppress bandits, it was a mission in our own country after all. This time we are going to a neighboring country, and we have to be careful a lot of the time. Not only do we have to be careful of all kinds of ninjas, but we also have to hide our tracks. Not to mention Asuma, for Ino and the other three, this journey of walking through the woods and staying on guard can be called hard. Fortunately, Choji has learned a good cooking skill from old man Kosuke, and he can prepare some hot food for the four of them in the wild, so that they don't have to eat dry rice balls.
As they walked, Choji suddenly became excited. He pointed ahead and said, "Teacher Asuma! I smell curry! There must be a place to eat up ahead. Shall we go over and take a look?"
Ino and Shikamaru sniffed, but smelled nothing.
The four of them walked along a country road, and soon they saw a two-story wooden house at the intersection. Just like many places in Ino's previous life where there was a circle drawn on the side of the wall with the word "demolition" written on it, there was also a big circle on the side of the wall of this wooden house with the word "life" written inside.
"Teacher Asuma, this is it! The curry smells so good!" Choji looked excited.
"Then let's go in and have some rest." Asma was very reasonable. He lifted the curtain at the door and walked in first.
Choji followed closely behind, and Shikamaru also walked in with his hands covering his head. Ino looked around and saw only one wooden house in the middle of nowhere. It looked a little strange, so she followed in with caution.
There was an old lady in the house who looked quite kind. As she was old, her reaction was a little slow. It was not until the four people stood in front of the counter that she noticed that a stranger had entered the house.
Ino was very alert and looked at the old lady carefully, taking in every detail: her height, weight, chakra, facial skin, and the calluses on her palms.
Asma patted her shoulder, then shook his head and smiled, indicating that she didn't need to be so nervous, as she was just an ordinary old lady.
"Who are you?" asked the old lady.
"A traveler passing by."
Even though the four of them were clearly wearing Konoha Village ninja forehead protectors, Asuma lied with his eyes open and the old lady didn't notice anything was wrong.
"You must have had a hard time on the journey! Come and try the unique curry rice at the Curry House of Destiny!" The old lady was very enthusiastic. She invited them to sit down without saying a word and quickly brought them a few plates of curry rice for them to taste.
There was no vigilance, no suspicion, and a kind smile. The old lady seemed not afraid at all that the four of them were bad guys.
Ino couldn't help but ask one more question: "Hello, mother-in-law, what is your name?"
The old lady was not used to her flowery way of asking questions. After thinking for a while, she said, "Everyone in the village calls me Grandma Sansho. You can call me that too. When I was young, I made the most delicious Sansho! But in my later years, I found that curry is the best delicacy in the world!"
"Yes, yes!" Shikamaru nodded. He thought that everything edible was delicious.
The old woman chattered on and on about delicious food, and her speech was incoherent. She would repeat something she had said before after three or four sentences.
Ino stared blankly. Grandma Salamander? Are you a relative of Hanzo Salamander? But at this point in time, Hanzo Salamander seems to have died.
"I'm ready to eat!" Shikamaru, who was standing by, had already been so hungry that he couldn't stand it anymore. He simply greeted him, picked up the spoon and started eating. The food seemed to be very delicious as he nodded happily while eating.
Asuma didn't eat right away. He sat by the window and lit a cigarette. Seeing Ino's suspicious look, he smiled and said nothing.
It is a good thing to stay vigilant, but how to judge friend and foe and reduce physical and mental consumption also requires experience. This girl still has a long way to go in the future.
Ino waited for about two minutes, and seeing that Shikamaru had already started eating his third plate, she thought there was no poison in the rice, so she picked up the spoon and took a small bite.
"Woo!——!" While she was still chewing the carrot, a burst of extremely hot fire rushed down her throat into her stomach. Ino felt as if she had swallowed a mouthful of fire, burning from the inside out. Her fair face turned red in an instant. The curry rice was so spicy that the ponytail on her head stood up.
"Shui Shui!!!" He took out the water bottle he carried with him and took three or four gulps of water, "dong dong dong", before he could suppress the spicy taste.
After just one bite, a thin layer of sweat broke out on her forehead. This thing is too spicy! Is this for human consumption?
She looked at Choji.
Choji: “???”
Good man, you are a fearless foodie, right? You can even eat something this spicy? Her eyes were too fierce, and Dingci smiled awkwardly: "Haha. Haha, it's a little spicy."
Is this slightly spicy? It is very spicy! This so-called "Curry House of Life" is a deadly place!
When Granny Sansho heard the noise from their side, she hurried over to ask, "Guest, is it not spicy enough? I will definitely increase the spiciness of the next pot by a hundred times, and I will definitely not destroy the reputation of the Curry House of Life!"
Ino waved her hands repeatedly, "Thank you! This is already very spicy! You should keep the one that is a hundred times spicier for yourself."
