46 Chapter 45 : chains

In a kitchen from the hand-painted ceramic tiles that adorned the backsplash to the meticulously organized spice racks and knife blocks.

The floor, made from polished hardwood, added warmth to the room's ambiance. A comfortable seating area with plush leather barstools allowed guests to watch the culinary artistry unfold or enjoy a casual conversation with the chef.

I approached where the ingredients were ready for me to start cooking, as I started...

Myfingers, deft as a black belt's strikes, hovered over the cutting board as I prepared the chicken. With a swift, controlled motion, I sliced the plump chicken breast. The blade of my knife moved with precision,

As the chicken met the seasoned flour, My technique was akin to a martial artist's kata, with a series of movements executed flawlessly. Each piece of chicken was coated with a swift, controlled motion, ensuring an even distribution of flavor and texture.

*clap clap clap*

"Whooooh !!"

The clan head was cheering for me as I moved gracefully with me mixing some of my martial arts to my cooking that will catch anyone's attention.

1 and half hour later /

"Annnd here's the last one, enjoy" I plainly said as I put the last dish infront of the clan head.

I look at all the food that I made then pat my own back for inventing all of this.

*clap clap clap*

"Hohoho, what are all this dango-san ?! Only the smell of them are going to literally make me go berserk !!" The clan head said with saliva falling down his mouth like a waterfall.

"This are pizza, cheeseburger, bacon, kebabs, sandwiches, simple burger, french fries, fried chicken, chicken nuggets, shawarma, Tacos, burritos, hot dogs, pancakes, waffles and lastly pepperoni pizza" I said in one breath while pointing at the dishes and their names.

*CLAP CLAP CLAP!*

"THIS IS AWESOME !! HAHAHAHAH" He said and he started to inhale all the food with stars and universes shining brightly on his eyes.

I looked at him with no surprise and nod to myself in pride for introducing this masterpieces to this world.

"I will go and write the recipes of all of them and how to make them until you finish" I said but he was already in another world, so I slowly went back to his office to find paper, ink and brush.

30 minutes later /

As I finished writing down the recipes for those junk foods, the door of the office opened and the clan head entered with a dazed look.

"I wrote down the necessary things and I want to talk business now" I said impatiently to him with my arms crossed.

"Ohh, sorry dango-san, but those dishes your served are just heavenly ! Are they your creation ?!" He said with admiration and stars shining in his eyes.

"Yea yea, just let's talk about the contact quickly and finish this...please" I replied quickly because I have already something I wanted to check.

"Sorry sorry dango-san for wasting your time. Please tell me then, how do you want to cooperate with the akimichi clan ?" He finally asked what I wanted to hear.

"I want %60 of the profits of what you gain from my creation" I said with an internal smirk to myself.

"Deal !" He quickly replied with a huge smile on his chubby face.

"Huh ?" I uttered in surprise while looking at the clan head weirdly.

"Don't get me wrong dango-san but your dishes are so special that I am sure that it will become a very huge hit to both our clan's economy, And I am sure that we will become very rich, I can say even comparable to the Senju and the Uchiha clans in no time, So even %40 is still alot" He said with a smile while I internally fasepalmed myself.

'I should have asked for more' I thought as I felt my underwear pocket screaming in pain.

"And as a clan who love food alot, this is the least I could do to my now idol" He said with stars again shine in his eyes.

'Wtf ?' I thought as I felt weirded out and get away a little.

"Ok then thanks for that, but I want to tell you two things regarding this" I quickly said before he said anything else as I raise my index and middle finger at him.

"Please tell, I am all ears" He said.

"First is that, I want the money to be sent to my clan's bank account in the bank that's in the capital of the fire country and not konoha's bank" I said and he narrowed his eyes for a second but still nodded.

"Second is that, I want you to sell this new dishes under the banner of one restaurant as a whole, then build many chains of the same restaurant across konoha districts and eventually I want you to spread this chain restaurants to the outside, maybe even build restaurants in the other countries" I said and he seriously nodded with a hand on his chin.

"Anyways, You know this things better than me, so I hope you take care of it, that's all I have to say regarding this" I calmly said.

"That's a really great idea dango-san, with this, so many people will get eat this food without travelling far to get to only one place" He said and I nod in response.

"So can I ask for the name of this chain restaurants dango-san" He said and I nod.

"I will name it...Heavens Feel I said with a smile to myself.

30 minutes later /

"And the contact is complete now dango-san ! thank you for your cooperation and gave the akimichi caln this chance" He said with a smile and I shake his hands with a nod.

"I will be going now. if you need anything related to this matter then just just send a ninja to inform me please" I said as I left his office and saw a ninja outside waiting on his knees.

"Sure sure dango-san, please let this ninja escort you out" He said and I just nod.

'Sighh, finally this is over' I thought with a tired sighh as I left for my home.

30 Minutes later /

I stand infront of my house's front door for a few moments, take a deep breathe then go inside.

"I am home" I said as I remove the tai chi slippers and slowly walk inside.

"Ohh Garou you are bac- WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU AGAIN ?!!" My mom yelled at the end and I sighh again.

"It's nothing, I just visited the Senju Compound and met Mito" I replied calmly while looking at the ground tiredly.

"..."

I look up to see my mom making a serious face which was weird "What ?" I asked her with a raised eyebrow.

"Why did you meet Mito-sama ?" She asked seriously.

"Sighh, Can we talk about this later mom ? I am really tired" I said in hurry to look at myself in the mirror.

She stared at me for a few moments " Go wash yourself, you smell" she said before she left to the kitchen.

I immediately walked towards the bathroom where there was a huge mirror and take off my clothes along the way.

'I hope it's not what I think it is' I thought seriously as walked into the bathroom and approach the mirror.

The moment I saw my face in the mirror "Fuck my life" I muttered as I coldly looked at a long fresh scar that spread across my face from my forhead then making it's way between my eyebrows until my right cheek.

1 hour later /

I was eating dinner on a small table with my parents who were staring at me from time to time which made me annoyed.

"So why did Mito-sama ask for you son?" My dad asked with a serious face which surprised me for a moment.

"I am friends with her granddaughter and she wanted to meet me because my friend talked about me to her" I said with some fish on my mouth.

*Bam!*

"YOU HAVE A GIRLFRIEND ?!" My mom yelled in surprise as she hit the table with wide eyes.

"Yeah ?" I said in confusion while looking at my mom.

"Well, it seems you finally are stepping into becoming a man" My dad said with a proud smile.

"Ahh shut up old man" I said in annoyance.

"Finally 'sob sob' We will have some grand kids hiroshi" My mom started to cry while looking at my dad with snot running down her face.

"Hahaha yeah honey but let's ask first what did he talk about with Mito-sama" My dad awkwardly laughed and looked at me to explain.

"Well, I had a talk with her and eventually I asked for her granddaughter's hand in marriage but she didn't agree then we fought and I won" I said calmly and continue to eat.

Even though I despise lying but I at least told them some truth.

"Ohh, so that's why you have that scar across your face, don't you want to remove it ? It will be difficult to do so later on y'know" My dad said as he pointed with his chopstick at my face.

"Bones heal, pain is temporary, And chicks dig scars" I said as I pondered about the Og garou a little.

'It seems that I will inherit even his scars' I thought seriously.

*pat pat*

"Well said son, well said" my dad said as he patted my back with a smile.

"So when should we visit the Senju compound to make Mito-sama's granddaughter your fiance ?" My mom said with a huge smile on her face.

"I will tell Tsunade that when I go to the academy tomorrow" I replied with a shrug.

"But before that, I plan to invite my friends, will that be ok ?" I said and asked my parents.

"Yea" My dad replied nonchalantly.

"Absolutely baby ! Tell them that I will cook something delicious for them" My mom replied happily and I just smile at her enthusiasm.

'Guess she really worries about me too much' I thought with a small smile.

'I just hope this life will stay the same in the future too' I thought again with worry while unbeknownst to me, my parents were exchanging serious side glances.

The End
