Tsunade, you're really drunk!

Two days later, Qianye, Kurotsuchi, and Yukito, who followed Qianye and said they wanted to visit the Iwagakure Village, disguised themselves and followed a merchant ship, arriving at the Land of Earth from the Land of Lightning by sea.

It would probably take another day to reach Iwagakure Village.

On the way, Qianye looked around at the road around him. The road was cramped and narrow, and even the most basic surface was not flat. He often saw rubble from the collapse of the surrounding mountains scattered on the path.

From time to time, you can also see mountain goats climbing the cliffs in search of green plants, and civilians carefully collecting medicinal herbs on the mountainside. Years of sun exposure have made their skin dark, and thick calluses have formed on their body joints due to friction. They carry bamboo baskets on their backs and constantly look for a place to stay on the cliffs.

That night, they settled in a village and planned to rest for the night.

What surprised Qianye was that he could still see old women making earthen cakes in the village.

Mix the yellowish-brown soil with water and flour in equal parts, and throw it directly into the fire to heat at high temperature.

Qianye came forward, bent down and asked the white-haired old woman in front of him.

"Old man, are you selling this cake? We are in a hurry to go to Iwagakure Village, and we haven't arranged dinner yet."

The old woman sat by the stone fire pit, looked up at Qianye, hesitated for a while, and finally asked.

“Do you want to buy this?”

"Young men, you guys are from outside, right? You may not be used to eating this, so forget it."

But Qianye still stuffed a paper note worth one hundred taels into the old woman's hand.

"You can take it, old man. I just want to try something new because I've never eaten it before."

Having said that, he took a piece directly from the fire and quickly left with the wooden man and the black soil.

The old woman looked at Qianye's actions just now, holding the paper money in her hand, staring at it for a few seconds. After making sure that it was not counterfeit money, she remembered the behavior of the young man just now, looked at Qianye's back, stood up and shouted loudly.

"Young man, be careful! Don't burn your mouth. Wait until it cools down before eating!"

Qianye didn't look back, but just raised his hands and waved them in the air twice.

The three of them wandered around the village for a while before they found a hotel in the north-central part.

It’s a pity that the inn is not big. Recently, the Iwagakure Village added a new gate for the use of caravans, so there is only one last room left in the inn.

With no other options, the three of them had to squeeze together and sleep on the floor.

After entering the room, the three of them sat cross-legged in front of a small table. Heitu, watched by the wooden man, as Qianye took out the soil cakes he had bought earlier.

"Are you really going to eat this thing? I thought you felt that the old lady was too pitiful and deliberately found an excuse to give her alms." You Muren looked at Qian Ye with some confusion, with a questioning tone in his voice.

Qianye smiled and said nothing. He just exerted a little force and pushed a piece of earth cake down, which made a "crunch" sound.

He lifted up the lump of soil in his hand, which was about the size of a glutinous rice ball and about one centimeter thick, and looked at it.

"Heitu, have you ever eaten this?"

Kurotsuchi shook his head.

"I usually stay in the village and rarely go out. Even when I am on a mission, I don't come into contact with ordinary people. I have never eaten this."

"But I heard from the old man that when he was young and the Iwagakure Village had just been established, almost everyone in the village ate dirt cakes."

"It was not until more than a decade of development that Iwagakure Village completely gave up on earth cakes, and relied on farming for part of its food and importing part of it."

"But there are still many remote places in the Land of Earth. Because the roads are difficult to travel, it is difficult for caravans to transport food, and they still maintain the habit of eating earth cakes."

After saying that, he took the small piece of soil from Qianye's hand, his face full of curiosity.

"Come to think of it, I haven't eaten it yet. This is a good opportunity for me to try it."

As a result, he just put it in his mouth, took a few bites, and then spat it out into the trash can next to him with a look of disgust on his face.

"Bah! Bah! Bah!"

"Is this something for human consumption? Why is it so disgusting?"

Yumu Ren standing by frowned, with a puzzled expression like a kitten.

“Is it really that unpalatable?”

"Could it be that you are the granddaughter of the Tsuchikage and have been spoiled?"

"I don't believe it. Let me try."

The wooden man stretched out his index finger with curiosity, and his nail instantly extended, cutting the earth cake, which was already missing a small piece, into chestnut-sized pieces.

He retracted his nails, picked up a piece, and put it to his nose to sniff it tentatively.

“A smell of earth.”

Heitu next to him finally spit out all the dirt in his mouth. He raised his water cup, rinsed his mouth, and spit into the trash can.

"You are talking nonsense. This thing is called dirt cake. How can it not taste dirt?"

"Anyway, you'll know once you eat it. It tastes worse than Bingliang Pills."

“It’s simply not something a human can eat.”

You Muren looked at Heitu with a half-believing and half-doubting expression on his face, which was ready to gloat, then looked at Qianye beside him, and an idea came to him.

"You eat with me."

As he said that, he picked up a piece of dirt with his other hand and quickly stuffed it into Qianye's mouth. He then held Qianye's chin and went on stage, letting the dirt drop directly into Qianye's mouth, leaving him no chance to spit it out.

Then he raised his eyebrows and looked at Qianye lovingly.

“This is the first time I feed someone.”

"Don't spit it out~"

Qian Ye, who was originally preparing to watch the show, was stunned, and then he felt a piece of dirt in his mouth.

A thought suddenly flashed through my mind: Oh no, I originally wanted to watch these two people have fun, but now I'm the one making fun of them.

The moment it entered his mouth, the moisture in Qianye’s mouth seemed to be sucked away instantly. The texture was hard and he had to bite it off with his teeth.

After biting it off, fine dust instantly spreads in the mouth, choking the person's throat.

After forcibly chewing it for a few times, it turned into a strange paste. Apart from the taste of soil, there was almost no taste of flour. It was completely covered by the earthy smell.

The taste is weird, like the residue stuck on the wall of the mouth after eating a handful of milk flakes, except that it is earthy residue, and the taste is still that earthy smell, and there is also a bitter taste of charcoal residue left after being roasted over a fire.

His brows suddenly furrowed tightly, as if he was doubting his life.

In the end, he forced himself to swallow it, then looked at Yu Muren next to him with kindness on his face.

"it's your turn."

"Although the taste is a little worse than Bingliang Pills, it's still acceptable."

The wooden man put it into his mouth half-believingly.

Then he grabbed the trash can and spit out the dirt in his mouth.

"Bah! Bah! Bah! Bah! Bah! Bah!!!"

"You lied to me! This is not only unpalatable!"

Qianye raised his hand, and it seemed as if he was pinching something out of thin air between his thumb and index finger.

"It's really just a few billion. I think it's only a few billion."
