Konoha's Ninja Successor

Two days have passed at sea.

Teru Shimura was preparing meals for a dozen people on the ship in the kitchen of the working cabin area of ​​the ship. Teru Shimura was responsible for the meals for the crew for the past three days, and because of this, his relationship with the crew improved. After getting closer, the crew members who had been threatened by him reluctantly put down their grudges and could talk to Shimura Teru normally.

Teru Shimura put on a chef's apron. Although he only had one hand, he had no problem cooking.

The kitchen knife spun wildly in his hand, and after the flash of the sword, all the ingredients were cut.After Teru Shimura slammed the chopping board hard, the ingredients stirred up by chakra fell into the iron pot one after another.

Fire...

Pour in boiling water...

Shaking the edge of the pot with the spoon, a stream of crystal clear soup pulled out a golden bridge in the air. The hot soup was sprinkled on the cut cubes of tofu, shining with a supreme golden light.

After finishing the dish, Shimura Teru opened the lid of the wooden barrel on the side, smelled the aroma of rice, and nodded secretly.

Shimura Teru turned his head and looked at the busy shadow clone behind him and said, "How are you preparing the soup?"

The shadow clone pressed the lid of the soup pot with one hand and responded without looking back: "It's almost time. After all, cooking fish soup takes time."

"I understand, it will be served in 5 minutes."

"it is good!"

Shimura Teru took off his apron, took the towel on the side and wiped the sweat from his head.

Teru Shimura is not tired of being in charge of the kitchen. This is not like a job for him, but more like an entertainment activity.

"Perfect marks for housekeeping. If it were a peaceful time, I might consider transforming into a kitchen ninja."

Looking at the rich dishes on the table, Shimura Teru nodded with satisfaction, feeling very satisfied with his cooking skills.

"dinner time!"

Shimura Teru knocked on the leaky iron vegetable sink in his hand and shouted.

"Guys, dinner is ready."

"I'm coming..."

"Wow! It's such a rich table of food again, I'm so blessed."

......

More than a dozen crew members came down the stairs one after another, their mouths watering as they looked at the sumptuous food on the table.How could they, who had always lived in poverty in the land of water, eat so luxuriously? Most of them just fried a piece of saury, made miso soup and rice and got away with it.

Before going to sea, Shimura Teru bought a large amount of supplies and stored them in the storage cabin. There were a lot of vegetables, fruits and meat, which was equivalent to a month's supply.

The crew sitting on the table suddenly felt that it seemed that it was not as difficult as it was not imagined to drive the boat this time.

"Master Yasuo, the food you cook is so delicious!" The youngest boy, almost 12 years old, gave a thumbs up to Shimura Teru who was about to use his chopsticks.

The boy's name is Kento Kimura. He is a native of the Kingdom of Water. He performs the duties of a sailor on the ship and is mainly responsible for the daily maintenance of the ship's hull.He was also the first person willing to chat with Shimura Teru. Compared to others, he did not have such a deep understanding of the dangers of the ocean cemetery.

Not only is Kento Kimura not afraid of grudges against Teru Shimura, but he also yearns for Teru Shimura's identity as a ninja. After all, the profession of ninja is very mysterious and powerful.

After two days of conversation, Kimura Kento also had a certain understanding of Shimura Teru. After knowing that Shimura Teru was a good-tempered and approachable person, Kimura Kento quickly became familiar with him.

"If it tastes good, eat more." Shimura Teru smiled and put a piece of meat into Kimura Kento's bowl. He had a good impression of this energetic young man.

Shimura Teru saw everyone eating happily, and he was very pleased in his heart.

However, Shimura Teru noticed that the captain Miura Kenjiro's face was worried at this time, as if he had something serious on his mind.

"Kento, what's wrong with your captain?" Teru Shimura asked, patting Kento Kimura who was eating happily at the side.

Kento Kimura stopped what he was doing, glanced at Kentaro Miura who was worried, and said with a clear expression: "Oh, Captain, he said that we are about to enter the ocean cemetery, so he is worried about picking up the ship." Did the voyage down go smoothly? I heard that the captain’s child was just born and he misses his relatives at home very much.”

What a sin... Shimura Teru smiled bitterly. He knew that it was because of him that this new father had to leave his hometown.

"Don't worry! With me here, each of you can go back safely, and you will go back with enough compensation!" Shimura Teru said with a chuckle, without any inappropriate look on his face.

As early as when Shimura Teru and Kimura Kento were talking, the crew members who were nearby pricked up their ears to listen to their conversation, and they were also very worried about the upcoming voyage.Shimura Teru said this not only to Kimura Kento, but also to the surrounding crew members.

The confident smile on Shimura Teru's face is also to reassure the crew members. At the same time, Shimura Teru is relatively confident in his own strength. The confident smile on his casual face is not a disguise.

After hearing Teru Shimura's assurance, Kentaro Miura looked up at Teru Shimura, who was eating at another table not far away. Teru Shimura also met the captain's eyes.

Kentaro Miura sighed and said: "The reward doesn't matter, I just want to take the boat back this time and spend time with my family."

Kentaro Miura has a lot of resentment towards Shimura Teru in his heart, not just him, but most of the people here.It's just that Shimura Teru is a powerful ninja, so they have to obey each other.Even though they refused to eat Shimura Teru's food in the past two days and finally accepted it calmly, the resentment in their hearts still existed.

Of course Shimura Teru knew this, but he didn't say much.There was no way he could coerce these people like this, and he would not regret his actions.

Shimura Teru didn't want to waste any time talking to Kentaro Miura about the explanation he promised.What you say is worse than what you do. Just protect them carefully when the time comes.

Shimura Teru took a sip of the salty fish soup and did not respond to Miura Kentaro's words.

Boom! ! !

At this time, the hull suddenly shook, as if something at the bottom had been hitting the ship.

"What...what's going on!?" A crew member shouted in panic.

"It seems that we have entered the ocean cemetery. There should be a swarm of piranhas starting to attack our boat." Kentaro Miura calmed down and quickly explained.

Then everyone turned their attention to Shimura Teru, who was sitting silently in his seat drinking fish soup, because this was the time for Shimura Teru to fulfill his promise.

Shimura Teru put down the bowl of soup in his hand, stood up slowly, and said with a normal expression: "You continue to eat, and the safety of the ship will be left to me."

After saying that, Shimura Teru's figure instantly turned into an afterimage and disappeared in front of everyone in the blink of an eye.
