Chapter 150.1 : Chakra Seed?

"Grandpa, is this the Chakra seed you mentioned?" Nakiri Erina asked cautiously, holding the floating orb in front of her with intense anticipation in her eyes.

Beside her stood Eishi Tsukasa, Rindō Kobayashi, and others, each displaying a solemn demeanor.

"Yes, indeed," replied Nakiri Senzaemon, who had already utilized Chakra seeds before, appearing notably composed in comparison.

Nonchalantly suspending the luminous sphere before him, he spoke with gravity, "Chakra is crucial for mastering the Three-Body Technique, Fire Style Ninjutsu and any other ninjutsu."

"And to possess Chakra, one must integrate Chakra seeds to extract physical energy from cells and develop mental abilities through training and experience."

"In Ran-sama's world, not everyone can harness Chakra. Ninjas with exceptional talent exhibit variations in the speed and quantity of Chakra refinement."

"However, by obtaining Chakra seeds, which belonged to the first generation of Chakra owners, and refining it, one can acquire Chakra instantly."

"I can teach you some basic Ninjutsu since you are my Elite Ten of Totsuki. Yet, more potent techniques may be reserved after your maturity."

"Even so, you are now among the elite in this world, a level above."

Nakiri Senzaemon's expression remained earnest as he recalled the shattering of his perceptions upon encountering the Fifth Hokage Uchiha Ran, Second Hokage Tobirama, Fourth Tsuchikage Kurotsuchi, and Third Tsuchikage Onoki.

A Genjutsu cast by Uchiha Ran revealed a world of overwhelming power, where chefs, despite their authority, paled in comparison to such might.

Uchiha Ran's offer of assistance brought with it profound benefits, including seeds imbued with supernatural abilities and a myriad of extraordinary techniques.

Yesterday's events, from the refining of Chakra to the utilization of Uchiha Ran's Genjutsu and mastering Three Body Technique and basic attribute Ninjutsu, signaled a transformative shift.

In this new era, the ninja world would reign supreme, and chefs would serve as their vassals.

Although traditionally, ninjas may lack in academic pursuits due to their formidable prowess, Uchiha Ran's influence promised to enrich their world with knowledge previously unexplored.

Harnessing Chakra's spiritual energy exemplified the extent of their newfound dominance, paving the way for a future where the Shokugeki no Soma world would inevitably yield to the ninja's supremacy.

Nakiri Senzaemon resolved to align himself with Uchiha Ran, positioning himself as a pioneer of this emerging era, all while retaining the essence of their culinary heritage.

To become ninjas, they would need to surpass the natives of the ninja world, leveraging their unique resources and forging alliances to secure their place in this transformative landscape.

"But with adept cooking skills, you might just outmaneuver Uchiha Ran around the corner," Nakiri Senzaemon asserted sternly. "You're delving into Chakra seeds now, and I'll guide you through the refining techniques to kickstart your journey."

The ten individuals nodded hastily, absorbing Nakiri Senzaemon's instructions.

He made it unequivocally clear to them: Uchiha Ran was a figure capable of dismantling even the most formidable law enforcement agencies on a global scale. Resisting such power was futile. Adaptation was imperative.

In the past, they were esteemed chefs, wielding influence, renown, and riches, yet all paled in comparison to the looming presence capable of effortlessly obliterating them. As denizens from the ninja world increasingly infiltrated theirs, the likelihood of encountering more formidable adversaries heightened. Survival demanded fortification.

Furthermore, in this realm, could one afford not to strive for empowerment and the ability to shape their own fate?

Flight, eternal youth, invulnerable bodies—whose desires wouldn't be piqued?

In the blink of an eye, an hour had elapsed.

"Separate!" Nakiri Erina intoned, forming a seal with both hands, splitting the aura into two identical entities. Naruto would likely shed tears at this sight—six years of training still falling short against an hour's tutelage?

"Grandfather, I've mastered it completely," Erina informed Nakiri Senzaemon.

"Excellent!" Nakiri Senzaemon nodded approvingly. "Erina, you exhibit remarkable talent across the board, surpassing even your grandfather's expectations. I'll ensure you secure a place for further study in the ninja world. With your eventual advancement to Chūnin or even Jōnin, combining your God Tongue with culinary mastery is inevitable."

"Absolutely!" Erina evinced no reluctance. Tsundere she may be, but no simpleton either. Not everyone could pull off the tsundere act.

"Grandfather, what about his plans?" Erina queried calmly, prompting Nakiri Senzaemon's acknowledgment.

Having witnessed Erina's newfound resilience against her erstwhile betrothed, Nakiri Senzaemon felt reassured.

"Actually, Ran-sama had briefed me earlier, as did Etsuya Eizan," Nakiri Senzaemon revealed, opting not to conceal Erina's awareness of the situation.

"Master Ran foresaw it?" Erina's astonishment was palpable.

"Indeed, Master Ran possesses the gift of foresight," Nakiri Senzaemon spoke in reverence.

Erina's eyes widened, her toes curling within her black silk stockings, startled by the revelation of future sight. Such a formidable existence bordered on godhood.

"Azami Nakamura speculated that, with the aid of certain individuals, he could clandestinely rebel against the world, expecting to thwart me, seize control of Totsuki, and employ it as a springboard for meddling in Nakiri affairs. A mere pipe dream," Nakiri Senzaemon elucidated. "But without precautions, Totsuki is at risk of falling into his grasp."

Today, we find ourselves lacking in power. The importance of Chakra is paramount now, with greater utility and promising future benefits.

"So, I cannot permit him to proceed with that plan."
