Chapter 127.2 : Talent?

In Hokage, he wears many faces, but none of them are genuinely adept at cooking.

Even if someone is skilled, it's in Japanese cuisine."

The wielder of the Shokugeki no Soma was more extraordinary than the ninjas in the ninja world. The contrast between good and bad cooking could be likened to the performance of "spring medicine."

Being somewhat of a food enthusiast, Uchiha Ran found great interest in this world. Although the story primarily unfolds in a school located in the Eastern Capital of an island country, the Kyushu cuisine here was undeniably formidable.

He vividly recalled a cheongsam-clad beauty named Miyoko Hojo at the academy, showcasing remarkable talent and strength in Chinese cuisine. 

While there the chef Jōichirō Yukihira became a first option for hiring. Eishi Tsukasa was also a commendable choice. The God-tongue of the eldest lady defied common sense, making it a must-try.

However, these were tales for another time.

Uchiha Ran smiled casually and remarked, "So, this is the world of the Shokugeki no Soma. It seems good fortune awaits."

Impatiently, Onoki questioned, "Fifth Hokage, have you gained insights into the world beyond the portal?" 

The intensity in his fiery eyes was unmistakable.

Throughout the ninja world, those following the unfolding events via the Golden List live broadcast room expressed anticipation, only to later become skeptical. Han had already received his reward, so why did the live broadcast still focus on Rock Shinobi?

Amidst their doubts, all eyes turned to the honorary gold list, revealing the next entries – the Four Tails Son Goku and its Jinchūriki.

Apparently, Roshi had returned to Iwagakure by this time.

"I am acquainted with the world of the Shokugeki no Soma, perhaps even better than the natives. It's a world where chefs are revered, and countless culinary delights abound."

"Are there any special powers? Hard to say unless you're considering the art of cooking. In that world, cooking can be transformed into the elixir of spring."

"For specific details, I'll organize them after today's Summoning Beast Ranking announcement. We can delve into it during the upcoming Five Kages Meeting."

Uchiha Ran shared some information, piquing everyone's curiosity about the Shokugeki no Soma. However, he wasn't foolish enough to disclose every detail publicly.

"Now, let's invite the Four Tails Jinchūriki to claim their reward," Uchiha Ran continued, casting his gaze in a particular direction.

Rōshi stood with the four Son Goku, observing Uchiha Ran and Senju Tobirama with caution. Onoki regretted not obtaining more information, but since Uchiha Ran had decided not to share further, he turned to Rōshi and said, "Rōshi, it's your turn."

"My luck isn't any worse than Han's!" Rōshi approached with a disgruntled expression, still harboring disdain for Onoki.

Had it not been for Iwagakure lingering in his heart and the realization that the future of the ninja world was poised for change, he would never consider returning to the village.

"You go first, dude!" Rōshi motioned toward Four Tails Son Goku.

"Alright!"

Four Tails nodded, then made a selection.

Its reward list mirrored the previous six-tailed beasts.

Similarly, Rōshi's rewards matched Han's, both consisting of intermediate-level lottery draws (special).

"Ah~"

A beam of light enveloped Four Tails as Golden List's radiance covered it.

Senju Tobirama also focused his gaze.

Observing a tailed beast materialize in the flesh was a completely different experience from watching it through a screen.

Once it concluded, Rōshi didn't hastily proceed with the lottery but instead turned to Uchiha Ran and inquired, "Fifth Hokage, would you mind enlightening me about Low-level World and Small World?"

His question piqued the interest of many, prompting them to perk up and pay attention.

The Low-level World and the small world mentioned by the Golden List were subjects that had everyone's curiosity aroused.

"It's not a secret I can't share. Low-level World... Small World..."

Uchiha Ran smiled and provided an explanation based on his understanding of the world hierarchy.

Listening, everyone felt enriched by the information.

Tobirama, in particular, absorbed the details and asked with curiosity, "So, what level do we, the ninja world, fall into?"

"I can't say for certain."

Uchiha Ran shook his head and replied, "It can undoubtedly be considered top-tier in the small world. Whether it reaches the middle world category depends on Ōtsutsuki's strength."

Ōtsutsuki Hamura:?

Ōtsutsuki Hagoromo:??

Ōtsutsuki Kaguya:

"Fifth Hokage, thanks for clearing that up."

Rōshi expressed his gratitude before proceeding to claim his reward.

The golden list descended, transforming the light curtain into a spinning wheel.

"Commence the lottery," Rōshi declared.

The hands began to turn.

Under the scrutiny of countless onlookers, they eventually settled in the talent section.

"Talent!?"

Uchiha Ran, resting his chin in his hand, displayed a keen interest.

It wasn't just any talent drawn from various worlds; it was a talent capable of facing all worlds.

What would it be?
