I sell sweets in Konoha

After the mutton smell was diluted by the vegetable oil, what was left was a heavy taste.

Rice coated in oil and water is beneficial because the presence of oil makes the rice less sticky than traditional steamed rice.But this kind of rice with clear grains has absorbed water, making it appear plump and weak.

Combined with this oil and water, it has a silky texture.

During the cooking process, the characteristics of radish, mutton, and raisins are absorbed to a great extent.

So just with the rice, you can taste the sweetness of the radish, the slightly sourness of the raisins, and the richness of the mutton.

The slight acidity is appetizing, while the sweetness adds flavor, and the richness of the oil provides the most authentic texture.

It's a perfect match under the ice and snow.

And the most important thing is that this meal is not just about the rice grains, so you can taste the wonderful mix of these different ingredients.

What’s more, the existence of these ingredients itself brings reality.

At this time, the radish is already soft, but it does not have a gritty texture like potatoes or yams.This radish is soft and moist, but it has a little bit of toughness at the end. It is not sandy and soft in texture, but now combined with the oil, it provides more of a tender and smooth touch.

The raisins mixed in the rice are garnished and garnished on top of the rice.

As an ingredient, it seems unimportant but it is also important.The slightly sour and sweet taste of raisins further dissipates the mutton smell, while being sour and appetizing while sweet and fragrant.

A supporting character does not overwhelm the protagonist, but firmly holds his own place and provides the most beautiful foil to the real protagonist.

It's just perfect.

Mutton, as one of the most important ingredients, has also had enough rice soup at this time.Under the premise of cooking at the same time, the mutton also seems to have a rice aroma.

The fat areas are not greasy, and the thin areas are not dry.

The smell of mutton is removed to a great extent and retained appropriately, making it the most unique taste in this rice.

Eating in large gulps not only satisfies the body's nutritional needs but also satisfies the body's craving for carbohydrates.

At the same time, it also satisfies the body's own thirst for calories.

"It tastes so good!" Kakashi took big mouthfuls of rice.

Thousands of words of praise now feel colorless.

The simplest language has become the most beautiful and appropriate tribute to this delicacy with a bold and prairie flavor.

Really fragrant!

Chapter 2 On the Road

On the road, the cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew in my face.

A team of dogs are marching against the biting cold wind.

"Can you see clearly?" Junko asked Kakashi at the helm with a little worry: "If it's not possible in this blizzard, we shouldn't leave, right?"

"Can your ability..." Kakashi asked loudly.

"No!" Junko shouted directly upon hearing this: "This is a natural storm, my ability will not have any effect."

Kakashi wants Junko to use her special ability to control the wind and snow a little, so that the road ahead becomes clearer.But the wind and snow in nature cannot be stopped by themselves.

"It will be a disaster if we get lost." Junko shouted loudly.

The wind and snow are so strong that you have to use this kind of roar to make some noise.

"It doesn't matter." Parker finally replied: "Leave this kind of thing to us, we will never get lost."

"Our sense of direction is much stronger than humans."

"It will definitely not get lost."

Parker is confident.

But Junko didn't have much confidence, although the ability of animals to identify directions is indeed much better than that of humans.But Junko always feels like Parker...

It's a bit like raising a flag.

Junko said no more.

Let's give Parker a little more trust.

Junko stopped talking, and under the wind and snow, the cold wind mixed with snowflakes scratched her face like a blade.

But both Gouzi and Kakashi thought it was okay.

'It still feels okay. Kakashi braved the cold wind and silently felt the difference.

This difference is the huge change brought about by a hot meal.Sufficient heat and influence will make your body stronger and more powerful during this period of time.

It also allows him to better withstand extreme weather outside.

This is not a mental strength, this is actual strength enough to withstand the severe cold and snowstorm.

'It seems like what she just suggested was right. '

Kakashi felt more approval and recognition in his heart.

Even without eating, Kakashi felt that he and the Eight Ninja Dogs could survive the sudden snowstorm, but the snowstorm would seriously slow down their movement speed and increase their physical energy consumption.

And after eating the full meal just now, although there is still a certain impact, it is obviously not too severe on the marching speed.

'Sure enough, it's still very useful. '

Kakashi said mentally silently.

He stared ahead, let go of the rope in his hands, and handed everything over to his most trusted partner.He knew that in such extremely harsh climate conditions, even the Sharingan would be of little use.

The only thing he can do is to entrust all this to his most loyal comrades.

The ninja dog walked through the snowy field.

They themselves can't see the direction clearly, but they are moving forward on the right path by relying on the strong sense of direction passed down to them by their ancestors flowing in their blood.

Braving the wind and snow, we moved forward.

Junko sat down, lowering her body as low as possible to shrink herself into the sled.

The road ahead is long...

"Speaking of which, we didn't encounter any snow ninja who intercepted us along the way." Junko suddenly asked: "This thing is a bit strange."

If the interception of the Snow Kingdom's warships when they arrived showed that they had been exposed, shouldn't someone be intercepting them now?

Junko is already ready to go through five stages, kill six, and ride thousands of miles to the Land of Snow alone.

As a result, at this point, a snow ninja has not been sent yet.

Is there no one left in the majestic Land of Snow?

"It's hard to say about this situation." Kakashi said: "Maybe it's not optimistic."

"The situation in the capital of Snow Kingdom may be more serious than we imagined."

Maybe not even a little bit.

The biggest possibility is that the coup is over, and even if they go, it will not help.Of course, the best thing that could happen is that the people who are planning the coup don't take them seriously at all.

Of course, the best case scenario is that they don't take themselves seriously at all.

But if it's the worst case scenario, it's hard to say.

"Can we speed up?" Kakashi asked Parker, "We need to go faster."

"It's already the fastest speed." Parker also said distressedly: "We have done our best under these conditions."

"Yeah." Kakashi wasn't asking for anything.

He knew his partner would never lie about this.

Now...

He could only hope to arrive as soon as possible.

Junko and Kakashi headed towards the capital of Snow Country.

At this time in the Uchiha family head's home, Uchiha Fugaku's expression was not very good.

"Father..." Itachi said with some hesitation: "Sandaime-sama asked me to join ANBU. What do you think about this matter?"

'What do you think? '

Fugaku drank the beer in his glass in one gulp.

Itachi's question was difficult for him to answer.

The only thing he could say was.

"In the end...has it come to this?"

Fugaku was powerless and helpless.He has been trying to repair the relationship between the Uchiha clan and Konoha, looking for a way to return the Uchiha clan to the center of Konoha.

He seemed to have found this path, and that was Junko.

He always felt that he seemed to be on the right track, but in fact...

In fact, that's right. This is the time to lay the foundation for friendship.The friendship with Junko will be one of the Uchiha clan's greatest political assets in the future.

But it's actually wrong.

It's true that Junko is the future Hokage, but here's the problem.

She is the 'future' Hokage!

The current Hokage is still the third generation.

There's nothing wrong with getting closer to the future Hokage, but there's nothing wrong with taking sides.But it would not do to ignore how many Hokage there are now.And his biggest mistake, Fugaku, was forgetting the current Hokage.

"Why is the Third Generation doing this?" Itachi said somewhat secretly: "I...I'm not sure what the Third Generation meant."

Joining ANBU was not a bad thing, but the current attitude of the third generation made Itachi smell something different.

"This is espionage." Fugaku crossed his arms and said, "The Third Hokage finally regarded the Uchiha clan as a potential threat."

"Why?" Itachi said in confusion: "The Uchiha clan...why don't the Third Generations want to trust us?"

Itachi couldn't understand this question!

It is true that the Uchiha clan does have some problems, and there are also some unsatisfactory places.But as a whole, the Uchiha clan is still the strongest force in Konoha.

Why do the three generations distrust the Uchiha clan?

"Because the Uchiha clan is the number one in Konoha!" Fugaku sighed and said, "This is enough."

From the moment the initial decision was made, Fugaku felt that something was wrong.

Expelling Konoha's most powerful clan from Konoha's core political circle and core area is a very dangerous thing.

Because the strongest fighting force is outside the village, the connection and ties with the village are gradually severed, and they are not welcomed or even rejected, and they will gradually become dissatisfied and lead to resentment.

When these dissatisfactions and resentments gradually accumulate, this once sharpest sword in Konoha will eventually cut down on Konoha itself.

And once this happens, the situation will be irreversible.

"Junko..." Fugaku sighed and said, "She appeared at the wrong time and at the wrong time."

"Why did father say that?" Itachi didn't understand why this matter was related to Junko.

"Do you know the so-called 'hate out of love'?" Fugaku explained to Itachi: "Because of the extreme love, it became twisted and turned into hate. The tribe's growing dissatisfaction suddenly encountered the situation without being released and comforted. When this happens, dissatisfaction and hatred will turn into greed and excess."

"Junko appeared at just such a juncture."

Her appearance quickly reversed the original hatred and dissatisfaction with the village. Just overnight, the Uchiha clan's feelings towards the village took a 180° turn from the previous hatred and dissatisfaction.

It looked beautiful, but Fugaku himself knew that this was terrible.

There was not much chatting beyond him. Under this sudden reversal, the clansmen's expectations and demands for Junko had exceeded their reasonable limits.

And if you are not satisfied in this situation, it will quickly turn into hatred and dissatisfaction.

Few people can remain calm under such ups and downs.

"Father..." Itachi said anxiously, "Then the Uchiha clan..."

"No problem for the time being." Fugaku reassured: "Since the Third Generation has decided to make you an ANBU, it means that he still has trust in the Uchiha clan."

Although Fugaku was indeed a bit uncomfortable with this.

The third generation made Itachi an ANBU just so that he could monitor the situation in the clan and report to him anytime and anywhere.
