The New Uzumaki Legend of Naruto

"Whoa!"

As the Japanese-style sliding door was pushed aside by Terumi Mei, the familiar layout that was exactly the same as Kirigakure's time immediately jumped into their eyes.

"Welcome to Ariuma-sama! Ming-sama!"

The boss was sitting bored behind the counter when he heard the sound of the sliding door and subconsciously greeted him, but when he saw the face of the visitor clearly, he paused in his voice.

He hurriedly walked around the counter and walked quickly to the two of them and bowed deeply.

"Long time no see, Boss Zhongsen."

Terumi Mei smiled and said hello to the middle-aged man with a stout figure in front of her, then moved her eyes to "examine" the environment in the store.

"Hey, it's rare that Mr. Mei can still remember me." Boss Nakamori stretched out his fat hand and scratched his head, and said gratefully to Menma behind Terumi Mei.

"I still have to thank Menma-sama for his kindness in reshaping me, otherwise I would have starved to death overseas."

"The environment is exactly the same as back then."

Terumi Mei glanced around with a look of longing on her face. The former Kirigakure had sunk to the bottom of the sea. Although she would not regret it, the longing would inevitably come to her heart again every time she saw something familiar.

When Boss Nakamori heard Terumi Mei's words, his expression was also filled with sadness.

"At that time, I didn't expect that Menma-sama would let me continue to open an inn, and open an exact same one. That inn was my hard work for the first half of my life, and I remember every corner of it clearly."

Menma pointed to the corridor on the second floor to the west and smiled and said to Mimei.

"That should be the place where Ming was touched by me for the first time, right?"

Terumi Mei followed Menma's gaze and looked there. It was the room where she and Menma lived at that time. When the Taketori clan rebelled, it was also where they had their first profound conversation.

Terumi Mei looked away and gave a blank look.

"From then on, the ignorant me fell into a fox's trap."

"Well there it is a happy story."

Menma looked at Terumi Mei's mouth with a nice curve, and his eyes became more and more doting.

When the two of them were in love, Menma glanced at Boss Zhongmori with his peripheral vision. He thought for a while and asked Boss Zhongmori with an awkward expression.

"No, I remember that the kaiseki meal we ate was hand-made by the boss. I don't know if it was different from that time."

Boss Zhongsen smiled confidently

"Menma-sama, you have come at the right time. The season is the same now as it was at that time. I guarantee that it will be exactly the same as before."

After being rescued by Menma to the Country of Uzumaki, Nakamori had already become familiar with what Menma was doing in his shop. Although he didn’t know why Menma asked him to rebuild the hotel, he would be waiting at any time. Come with a face mask.

"Menma-sama, just go directly to the private room in the restaurant. It is only for Menma-sama's use right now. I will go down and prepare the two adults first."

As he said this, he put back his fat belly and bowed to the two of you. He first walked outside the door and hung up the sign that said he was closed for business, and then hurriedly ran towards the kitchen.

Seeing the boss leave with great interest, Arume and Ma smiled at each other, folded their hands and walked towards the back hall.

The restaurant is located inside the hotel through a corridor behind the counter on the first floor.

The two walked and stopped all the way, looking for memories from the past, and finally stopped in front of a private room labeled "Qingya Pavilion". They felt numb and slid open the wooden door and walked in.

The layout of the room is very simple, with a long table covered with a white tablecloth and tatami mats surrounding the long table. The decoration in the room is not gorgeous, but the view directly opposite is really amazing.

Bluestone and green bamboo stood in pavilions, and a clear spring jumped over the stone. Even though a clear glass blocked the two people, they could still clearly hear the sound of the gurgling water.

After Menma and Terumi put their shoes in the entrance hall, they walked to the seats closest to the window and sat opposite each other.

After Menma sat cross-legged, he closed his eyes slightly and listened carefully to the sound of the spring water flowing gently. He couldn't help but admire it.

"The most impressive thing about this hotel at that time was the dining environment of the 'Qing Ya Pavilion'. I asked Yuto to perfectly recreate it according to the memories of Boss Nakamori."

Terumi Mei looked at Menma's appearance and said it was funny.

"At that time, you were so fascinated by the sound of running water that you left the food alone for a long time."

"I still remember that you struggled for a long time before you were willing to sit down and eat together."

"You were completely different from others at that time. Other employers would not choose to dine with the hired ninjas."

"How can I win your heart otherwise?"

"You are the only one with more tricks!"

While the two were flirting back and forth, the wooden door slid open gently, and Boss Zhongmori, who had changed into a chef's uniform, came into the house carrying a food box.

Kaiseki cuisine is extremely exquisite and requires very high standards in terms of tableware and food placement. It can be said to be a work of art in Japanese cuisine.

The first thing that comes to the table is the eight-inch "Snack Platter", which is made with an eight-inch square cedar plate as the base and uses seasonal seafood, vegetables and flowers as ingredients. These include dragon whale sushi, deep-sea lobster sashimi, and Mizunoshima large abalone. The seafood portion of the platter is decorated with vegetable salad and bright flowers.

Menma and Terumi Mei moved their chopsticks at the same time, and each of them picked up a piece of crystal lobster sashimi and put it into their mouths. The smooth and refreshing touch instantly made them narrow their eyes in enjoyment.

Now the ingredients here are basically specially supplied by the Country of Whirlpool. Although the processing methods of the ingredients are different from before, the quality of this ingredient and that ingredient is completely different.

This naturally allows Men and Ma to have a newer and more beautiful experience while remembering the past.

After enjoying the eight-inch meal, the next dish was sashimi, which is seasonal fish.

This sashimi is made from the freshest bluefin tuna in the season. The bright red fish meat is made with exquisite knife skills and presentation skills. It looks like a red tuna soaring into the sky. It is also paired with a shaped smoothie underneath the sashimi. It forms a picture of swimming fish breaking through the ice.

Menma used chopsticks to gently peel off a piece of tuna sashimi. The fish meat was bright red and the thickness was moderate. It was neither too thin to lose its shape nor too thick to affect the taste.

The wooden chopsticks with a pointed tip and a thin body are used to hold the sashimi and put it into Menma's mouth. The meat of the tuna is delicate and smooth, and the taste of the sea is mixed with a sweetness that makes you feel like you are in the ocean where tuna schools are swimming.

After tasting the kufu, there comes the gyomon and yakiniku, that is, thick soup and barbecue. The thick soup is made from shrimp, abalone and other seafood.

A bowl of milky white soup filled with a rich aroma was brought up, with cooked red seafood floating on the surface looming.

The grilled food was grilled pearl oysters. Pearl oysters were considered a specialty of Kirigakure Village at that time. They were several times larger than ordinary oysters, and a whole one looked like a huge bowl.

A few years ago, the boss modified this dish at Menma's request, adding only minced garlic and green onion, and eliminating other troublesome sauces.

According to Menma, oysters like this are the most delicious.
