Chapter 42: Makoto Is Interested in Fuinjutsu


    Makoto returned to his house in the main city on Saturday afternoon.


    Since the two parties had eaten and drank with each other a few times, and the rtionship had be familiar, Makoto directly invited them to his house before cooking.


    "Hosakawa, what are you going to cook today?" Kushina asked curiously.


    Makoto always cooks new things. Kushina never had the same meal.


    It doesn''t matter whether he knows countless recipes. The key is that Makoto can make them all delicious, which makes Kushina both admire and envy him.


    "Fried mushrooms and mushroom soup." Makoto pointed to a stic bag full of mushrooms next to the sink and said.


    At noon, Shisui and the others prepared too many ingredients, including various fish and wild vegetables, and even hunted a wild boar. Makoto took the uneaten ingredients home.


    Apart from anything else, wild fungi are indeed fresh, but they must be cooked thoroughly, otherwise, you will suffer from food poisoning. Diarrhea is a trivial matter, but it could be much worse.


    "Are these wild mushrooms picked in the forest?" Kushina saw that the mushrooms were of different sizes, and it didn''t feel like they were bought.


    This reminded her of the first time she teased Makoto when she had dinner at Makoto''s house. Did he add some strangely colored mushrooms that made her hallucinate?


    Is it the secret to Makoto''s meals?


    Makoto nodded and said, "Today I had a pic in the forest with a few students at noon. I made too many ingredients and didn''t finish them all, so I took the extra portions home."


    "Hosakawa, are you still taking the students on a pic?"


    Kushina asked with some envy.


    She went to ninja school for six years and never saw a teacher that was that good, even taking the students on a pic.


    "Those students have a better rtionship with me." Makoto exined.


    "Hosakawa, do you want help? I''ll wash the vegetables." Minato, who was embarrassed to be a freeloader, took the initiative to help.


    "Sure, please help me wash the mushrooms. I''ll deal with the wild boar meat first." Makoto was not polite and directly arranged work for Minato.


    If you are too polite all the time, it will not be conducive to the growth of friendship.


    Emotions need toe and go in order to improve.


    Because there are three people, in addition to mushroom soup and stir-fried mushrooms, Makoto is also going to make a side of braised pork.


    In his previous life, he didn''t know why he felt like vomiting whenever he ate fatty meat, but he could only ept the fat in pork belly. He even thought that the fat and thin pork belly was more delicious. Braised pork with pickled vegetables was his favorite dish.


    But there are no pickles at the moment, so he can only make braised pork instead of braised pork with pickles.


    "What about me, what do I do?" Looking at the backs of Minato and Makoto, Kushina scratched her head. They look like two loving brothers with a good rtionship, cooking together, while she is an outsider.


    "There is no more space here, just sit down and wait for dinner." Makoto replied.


    This is not a restaurant kitchen, so three people working together will only make things more difficult. The two of them are just right, and there isn''t much that needs help with.


    So the bored Kushina sat on the chair in the living room for a few minutes, looked around, and then casually picked up a book that was ced on a drop-leaf desk.


    "Huh." Kushina was a little surprised when she saw the title on the cover. It was also a book rted to sealing techniques.


    "[Introduction to Fuinjutsu], Hosakawa, why are you still reading this kind of book? You might as well-"


    Kushina paused because she turned the page and saw the words "Uzumaki Ashina''s masterpiece".


    "Ahem, this book is pretty good, Makoto, make sure to read it carefully." Kushina coughed twice and reorganized her words.


    "Well, I''ve read it several times. Ashina-Sama is indeed the father of Konoha''s Funijutsu.


    Even someone like me who doesn''t know anything about sealing can gain a lot from reading this book." Makoto replied while handling the pork.


    "Of course, this is one of the leaders of our Uzumaki n," Kushina said with a proud look on her face.


    "But Makoto, are you still interested in Funijutsu?" Kushina asked curiously.


    "I''m very interested. I feel that Fuinjutsu is not only very mysterious but also extremely powerful with a lot of potential." Makoto said with a longing look on his face.


    "From the perspective of improving strength, Fuinjutsu is indeed a good choice." Minato nodded and said.


    The three of them chatted about Fuinjutsu until the meal was finished.


    Makoto spent most of the time listening, and from time to time he woulde up with some new ideas and questions, which gave Minato and Kushina a greater sense of aplishment.


    Kushina first tried the braised pork, which she had never eaten before, and she was amazed after one bite. The soft, glutinous fat and the ungreasy texture made Kushina take a big mouthful of rice.


    "This is so delicious. Why have I never seen such a delicious dish before?" Kushina fell in love with the taste of the braised pork.


    "If you want to learn, I can teach you." Makoto said with a smile.


    "It''s a deal, Minato and I will help you buy groceries tomorrow night." Kushina nodded quickly and said.


    After saying that, Kushina nced at the te of fried mushrooms, and found that most of it was gone. Minato kept eating quietly while she was engrossed with the braised pork.


    *Tick*


    "Namikaze Minato, save some for me." Kushina''s forehead bulged. She immediately attacked the te.


    The taste also seeded in surprising Kushina.


    After eating and drinking, the three of them went out for a walk together.


    It was inevitable to chat while walking. Makoto talked about some of his interesting teaching experiences, while Minato and Kushina also talked about some anecdotes that happened during their own tasks.


    ...


    With two days left before thepetition, Makoto began the final training for Obito.


    "If you want your ninjutsu to appear more powerful than it really is, you can work on the changes in form." Makoto said.


    "But there are only two days left, isn''t toote to practice form changing?" Obito said, scratching his head.


    "Yes. Yes, it is."


    "I will just teach you some basics and ways to make your fireballrger."


    In order to let Obito get the first ce and maximize the rewards of his training mission, Makoto took great pains.


    He specially modified the Great Fire Ball to make it look bigger, but in fact, he just decreased the density of the mes to increase the size of the fireball. Its overall power remains the same when hitting big objects but weaker when attacking smaller ones.


    In short, it''s the art of advanced bluffing created by King-Sama.


    Anyway, the junior''s ninjutsupetition doesn''t involve fighting, it''s just a matter of each person performing a ninjutsu to see who has the higher score.


    "Teacher Makoto, you are simply my sage of six paths!" Obito heard Makoto''s words and instantly felt that the first ce was guaranteed.


    Against himself who has the guidance of Teacher Makoto, Kakashi has no chance of winning!


    "My dear student requested help. As a teacher, of course, I have to do my best." Makoto said with a smile, deliberately cultivating Obito''s dependance on him and the awareness of asking for his help.


    "Hehe." Obito smiled sheepishly.


    "Hurry up and practice." Makoto knocked Obito on the head.


    "Yes!" Obito started practicing immediately.


    He couldn''t wait to defeat Kakashi and take first ce in front of Nohara Rin.
