Chapter 4 Errand 2

"So Yukio-kun wants 5000 Ryo and a free meal for one month in exchange for you will enhance the taste of any of my three ramen recipes?" Teuchi asked rubbing his chin.

"Indeed. It will maximize your business for the future and I might consider you as my disciple." I said with cross legs and arms.

"Yukio-chan, are you sure you are not sick?" Kushina asked with her soft gorilla hands on my forehead. She just finished her second bowl when I was talking to Teuchi

"It is a talk between two famous chefs, please refrain from interrupting us," I said taking her handoff.

"Ara~" She was baffled and also seemed excited and decided to eat the next ramen which will be prepared by me.

"Deal. I don't care much about money but if I can improve The Way Of Ramen then it's all worth it." Teuchi said.

I didn't know a single thing that he was talking about but professional chefs are always chunni no matter which era you live in.

Anyway, he first told me the recipes and I added some more ingredients and discard his previous ones.

"Ah~ the scent has changed," Kushina said when Teuchi was amidst his final preparation of three soon-to-be-legendary ramen.

He then served three bowls to me. I took a bite and after approval, I gave it to Kushina whose was very eager to try that her red hair started to float.

"Ah~"

As expected from god's tongue, she also moaned and having foodgasm and devouring ramen like a beast.

"Yukio-kun-no Yukio-sama, please make me your disciple," Teuchi said after tasting the improved ramen.

"Nope. I won't take any disciple for now and don't mention this to anyone especially to Akemichi since it will be a pain in the ass to deal with them."

Teuchi nodded and then gave me 5000 Ryo along with the written contract of a free meal of a month. I only already had money to that money to Kushina for safekeeping or the bastard uncle will surely rob me.

"Why Kushina oba-san is following me?" I asked the Red Hot-Blooded Habanero following me and sniffing the garland.

"It was your fault for making such delicious ramen so I gotta burn calories you know," Kushina said happily. She didn't mind if I call her oba-san since she was already considering adopting me. "Fufu~ and who knew you have such a talent." She chuckled and rubbed my hair.

I simply nodded and let her do whatever she wants. I already knew that Hokage had a personal force called Anbu. Guessing that an Anbu might be following me, I didn't mind her company since I want to create a good impression.

After that, we came to a clan with perverted eyes and long hair, Hyuga residence. Considering making their own brothers slave of their powers, they were even worse than Uchiha. In fact, if not for Madara Uchiha, Hyuga Clan would be the next target.

The door opened a man with long hair and ghost eyes came forward. His expression was so serious that if I have asked him to donate kidneys.

"Good afternoon Hizashi-sama." I greeted him with respect and the same goes for Kushina.

"Good afternoon Kushina-dono and Yukio-dono. No need for honorifics. How about you come in?" Hizashi was also greeted with a kind smile. I think it was his face that looks serious.

[4 IPs gained.]

I think IPs matters from person to person.

He was the brother of Hiashi Hyuga and soon to be the father of Neji Hyuga. Both men knew me and consider me their own member since I am the only stranger who could differentiate twins.

"Thank you Hizashi-sama but we just strolling on the street and we have to respect clan elites. Anyway, please, give these two garlands to two ladies and offer my greeting and prayers of good health." I said and hand him off three out of two garlands.

"Jeez, Yukio-dono is a very sensible and respectful child. Hope my Neji could follow your path." Hizashi smiled and rubbed my head.

[4 IPs gained.]

That tsundere siscon and me, no way! And as for my behavior, I am rotten to the core. It was just that a female berserker is following me who doesn't mind smacking my head.

Kushina and Hizashi exchange some words and then we left the Hyuga residence.

This time Kushina took the lead since the next location was Area 51 of Konoha, Uchiha District, or red-eyed freaks according to previous me.

"You are going for Mikoto, right? Do you know she has a son of your age and expecting another child?" Kushina bluntly said.

When I was little, my mother used to tell me that babies come from the heavens and are delivered by swans. If not for my high school perverted friends then I would also be praying to have a child without marrying a troublesome woman.

I have met Mikoto once but I didn't remember meeting the famous Itachi Uchiha since I heard that he was always training with his friend or father.

Soon we entered the Uchiha District and the fresh atmosphere changed into a gloomy one.

I didn't know if it was because of war or whatnot but felt very sad and depressed for some reason.

The gate in front of me opened and a boy of the same age as me came out. He had black hair and eyes and also a gloomy but also curious face.

"Hey Itachi-san, look I found a friend for you!" Kushina said patting my back. It seemed like she was introducing a boy to a girl more.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Yukio Yatogami." I said with a bow.

"Nice to meet you too. My name is Itachi Uchiha. Hope we get along." Itachi also bowed and said with a smile and then added, "Mother is resting. Please come in."

I was about to refuse when Kushina dragged me to the house. I also heard Itachi's slight giggle but I ignored him.

[1 IP gained.]

We then entered a room where a woman with a big belly lying on a bed. We greeted her and hand over garland to her.

A servant brought some refreshments when we were talking. Kushina was talking with Mikoto while I was chatting with passive Itachi.

Most of his topic was related to techniques which I didn't know shit about it while I wanted to talk about cooking and trickery but we soon get along well. I also made some jokes which he was not able to perceive and an awkward silence took place soon.

It was getting darker so we took our leave.

"Yukio-san if time permits then please visit again, I will introduce you to my friend," Itachi said sending us to the gate.

Perhaps if I was not an Uchiha and was not scared of them, he was very polite to me and seemed genuinely happy.

"I will. I will be relying on you to teach me some techniques."

"Yes leave it to me," Itachi said with a bright smile.

[1 IP gained.]

We soon left.

"Seems like another person was able to make a positive impression with an Uchiha," Kushina said. Yes, Uchiha's are very infamous for their prideful and battle-hungry behaviors but the only handful of them understands them.

"Hehe, he is a very talented kid. I think I will have to work hard."

It was true since, from just talk, he was already very mature. From previous wars, only clan members could understand how stressful it is to see their relatives dying day by day.

"Don't worry dear. Just work hard and set a goal, soon you will also grow stronger." Kushina said patting my head. I felt very warm and happy at the same time. I felt a sense of belonging when she said that. It was not what perverted readers are thinking since it was close to a relative love.

"Thank you Kushina oba-san. I will be leaving and thanks again for the company."

"Aren't you forgetting something?" Kushina said showing me her cheek.

I blushed and after not finding anyone in the vicinity, I gave a quick peck on her cheek and ran away. Being more than 25 years old in a child's body and kissing a 21 years old married woman was really embarrassing.

Anyway, it was a blissful day where I harvested many IPs in a single day. I was eager to grind some more IPs and unlock cool powers.

"Hmm~ today's dinner is very delicious." Said a yellow-haired man munching food.

"Fufu~ it all thanks to Yukio-chan," Kushina answered happily.

"You mean the self-sustained boy you were trying to adopt?"

"Humph. So what is wrong with adopting a promising child? Do you know he is not only good at cooking but also has better medical knowledge of his age?"

"I only heard that he was good at doing odd jobs. If I remember correctly then he is the nephew of Taji, a medic-nin and he is only good at doing odd jobs."

"Same here but today he seemed very different. Maybe he has a sudden desire to become strong? He also said something about the sensitive tongue."

"Then he is very suitable to become a medic-nin. I will ask Taji to train him and make him a helper in Konoha Hospital." Minato the fourth Hokage said.

"Nooo! Then how would he visit me? I-I mean we must support him ourselves." Kushina pleaded.

"We both know that a promising child needs a good environment to grow. I knew the difficulty to grow alone so I could sympathize with him." Minato stood from his seat and hugged Kushina. 'Plus I am kinda jealous of him.'

"Okay if you say so…" Kushina replied.

Minato smirked and then both of them disappeared.
