On the application of plant zombies in the world of Naruto
Chapter 11 Pea Pitcher! Your Loyal Friend!
The boring winter passed quickly, and Kyojuro was about to celebrate his second birthday.
There is no snow in the Fire Kingdom in winter, but the feeling of damp and cold always lingers on everyone.
The Uchiha family has an inherited fire-attribute formation. One only needs to input fire-attribute chakra to activate the formation, and it can continue to operate for more than thirty hours.
This formation is usually carved on the tatami in the center of the house to maintain warmth and dryness indoors.
When Kyojuro saw this kind of formation for the first time, he exclaimed in amazement, wondering if chakra could be used in such a daily life.
Given that this formation has little offensive power, the Uchiha clan is happy to write this formation on scrolls and sell it to other ninja clans, which is also a considerable source of income.
Another major event happened this winter. It was said that the eldest son of the Senju clan leader awakened the family's bloodline limit - Wood Release.
I heard that during a mission, they encountered an enemy ambush and the power suddenly erupted during the battle.
The Senshou family was also quick. In order to protect their own golden nugget, or perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it a wooden nugget, they immediately stuffed the person into the Wet Bone Forest to practice with the Slug Immortal who had a contract with their Senshou family.
Judging from the current situation, the Senju clan will probably not release the person until he has made some progress in his cultivation.
The appearance of the Wood Release User made the entire Fire Country focus its attention on the Senju clan.
The nobles will re-evaluate the strength of the Senju clan and consider whether to allocate more mission resources to the Senju in the future.
The ninja clan, which already had a good relationship with the Senju clan, took advantage of the New Year to deepen their ties with the Senju clan. The Uzumaki clan was even further along, and directly arranged a marriage between the two families for this generation without the appearance of a Wood Release user.
The ninja clan that has a bad relationship with Senju would of course want to take the opportunity to weaken Senju. It would be best if they could interfere with the Wood Release User's training. It would be even better if they could kill him directly when he is weak.
However, the Senju clan was no pushover. As a thousand-year-old ninja clan, they had the confidence to not only repel all the ninjas with evil intentions, but also severely inflicted several ninjas who dared to take real action, making an example of them.
Well, since the Senju clan was so eye-catching, the Uchiha clan had a good New Year.
As for the Wood Release User, don't they have one in their family?
------
The Spring Equinox is Kyojuro's birthday.
In addition to celebrating Kyojuro's healthy growth to two years old, the family also had another important event.
Uchiha Tajima also specially found a clan member who had seen the hand prints of the young Wood Release User of the Senju family, drew a picture of the other party's hand prints, and asked Kyojuro to imitate it.
Maybe it will be useful, Tajima thought.
Kyojuro thought it was fun to summon different plants by combining different hand seals, and he was very happy to learn the hand seals.
Yes, after his second birthday, Kyojuro discovered that he could summon new plants.
The number of sunflowers that can be summoned has also increased from two per year to one per month.
Tajima and Uchiha Arata were very happy when they found out about this. Of course, that’s a story for later. Today’s focus is still on Kyojuro’s new plant.
How can a plant grow so fast and produce so many peas? Hard work, dedication, and a balanced combination of sunlight, high fiber, and carbon dioxide make this healthy breakfast possible.
Kyojuro thought about it after seeing the confusing introduction. So plants can only work when there is sunlight on a sunny day? This is the same as sunflowers.
High fiber... fertilizer?
By the way, the introduction of Sunflower is [Sunflowers can't help but dance to the beat. What is the beat? Hey, it's the jazz beat that the earth uses to refresh itself. Only sunflowers can hear this frequency of beat. ]
You - Xu - Si...
Kyojuro slowly made hand gestures, and when he finished the last hand seal, he silently said in his heart:
'Summon Peashooter'
boom!
A green...turret?
It jumped out from the yard with a whoosh, and aimed the muzzle of the gun at the Uchiha present for a moment, then seemed to suddenly lose interest and moved the muzzle away.
"Kyojuro, can you control where the plants appear now? Good job!"
Uchiha Hiroshi carried his son to the yard and put him down. He and Uchiha Tajima went over to study it. Madara and Izuna began to guess what kind of plant mutation this was.
"Is it some kind of plant that ejects seeds?"
"That might be the Spray Melon, it's in the plant atlas that my father brought back before," Izuna walked around the plant and poked it.
“Looks a bit like him.”
"But the squirting melon will cause the fruit in front to fall off, which is not quite the same as this one."
"Is it the type that preserves fruit...beans?"
The leaves behind the pea trembled, it seemed that the guess was correct.
But what is the use of this plant?
From the time it was summoned until now, it has only been shaking its leaves and shaking its turrets, but has not produced anything like a sunflower.
Kyojuro pondered the manual in his mind for a while and found a word he had overlooked.
【Work】.
What would be the job of a shooter?
He had a flash of inspiration.
"Uncle! Can you bring the human-shaped target for training over here?"
"Sure!"
The moment the human-shaped target was placed in the yard,
puff!
A huge bean was shot out.
It hit the center of the target.
Izumi, who was behind the target, was forced to take three steps back by the impact, and the target in his arms slipped out of his hands.
After the target fell to the ground, the plant stopped shooting out beans.
"What a powerful attack."
Izuna shook her arm which was numbed by the shock and moved closer to observe.
Madara took out a kunai and cut open the skin of the beans, and the unique fragrance of the beans immediately emanated.
After Kyojuro double-checked the instructions in his mind, he said, "Uncle Madara! These beans are edible!"
…Since Kyojuro said so, why not give it a try?
To be on the safe side, they simply boiled the beans in water and did not use any other cooking methods.
After cooking, the aroma of the beans becomes more pronounced.
Izuna cut a small piece from the cooked beans.
Chew chew chew——
“It’s delicious!”
Tajima also cut a piece and said, "It has a crisp texture and a sweet taste. It's top quality!"
Seeing how popular it was, Kyojuro couldn't stop drooling. Fortunately, Koichi immediately cut him a small piece, blew it cool, and fed it to him.
"Five ants!!"
It is absolutely delicious when made into pea rice!!!
…………
After eating and drinking, Tajima sent the children to class or school, and he and Koichi stayed at home to study the characteristics of the Pea Shooter.
Pea Shooter is the name given to the strange plant that was summoned this time after several people discussed it. Izumi suggested calling it [Jet Pea].
The name is good, but it is not adopted.
Haoyi moved several human-shaped targets from the warehouse and placed them in different positions of the Pea Shooter.
"...As expected, they will prioritize attacking the target facing the turret."
If there are multiple targets on the scene, the pea shooter will prioritize attacking the target facing the pea shooter's launch port. If the target facing it is removed, it will attack from near to far.
If there is only one target in the field, but it is not directly opposite the pea shooter, the pea shooter will twist his stem to automatically adjust the angle to aim.
"The output...is higher than I thought," Tajima went to the study and took out his abacus.
As long as there is a target in sight, the pea shooter will fire at a rate of one per minute.
A pea can be up to 15 centimeters in diameter, about the same size as a sunflower's sun patches.
Assuming the sunshine time in a day is 8 hours, that is 480 minutes, or 480 peas. One pea weighs about 7.8 kg, which means 2 tons a day!
All it needs is sunlight and fertilizer to produce high-quality vegetables continuously...and so on.
"Haoyi, you said..."
"Ok?"
"Can peas... be processed into a staple food?"
"Can...right?"
"How many did Kyojuro say he could summon?"
"It seems like... one plant a month."
The two men looked at the Pea Shooter who was still enjoying the sunshine in the yard and couldn't help swallowing.
(Don't be surprised! The diameter of an ordinary pea is about 0.6 cm, the volume is about 0.113 cubic centimeters, and the weight is 500 mg. The diameter of the pea thrown by the pea shooter is about 15 cm, and the volume is 1766 cubic centimeters, which is more than 500 times that of an ordinary pea! If the density remains unchanged, the weight of the pea shot by the pea shooter is 7.8 times that of 16 mg, which is 500 kg! It is about the weight of bottles of ml of beverages added together. Thinking... It turns out that the zombies were really killed by being smashed.)
If it can really be processed and sold to the outside, then the cost is basically zero except for labor costs.
Exclusive in the world!
For a moment, the green pea shooter flashed with golden light.
But if that's the case, they can't be the only ones who know about the existence of this thing...
----
"I am back!"
It is a sunny day today, and Kyojuro goes to the pharmacy to study as usual, and summons the sunflower by the way.
Koichi stroked his son's hair and asked, "Kyojuro, are you willing to become a student of the Fifth Elder?"
Ok?
Why are you bringing this up suddenly?
Kyojuro was listening with great interest to Tajima talking about how much the Pea Shooter could produce. He had never imagined that a tiny pea could produce so many edible parts.
Hearing Haoyi's question, he thought for a moment about his father's sudden mention of the new great-grandfather's intention.
Don't you want to expose yourself to the public too early when you don't have the ability to protect yourself?
"I am willing!"
After thinking it through, Kyojuro agreed immediately.
Seeing that his son was really willing, Haoyi looked at Tiandao and said, "Uncle, what do you think?"
Tiandao stood up and quickly put the abacus in his hand into order.
"feasible."
The next day, Uchiha Shinji announced at the clan meeting that he had discovered a high-yield variety of peas, which seemed to be a special variety that absorbed the power of chakra.
It can be used as a special product sold by Uchiha to the outside world.
In order to ensure the exclusivity of the seeds, they must be processed and ground into powder before they can be shipped out of the tribe.
The old, weak and sick people in the tribe who were unable to fight all took action. Faced with peas that were countless times larger than ordinary peas, everyone accepted them well.
The Qiu Dao family also has the art of doubling, but it is only a little bigger than a pea, not enough to surprise them.
Peel the kunai, crush it with wind jutsu, dry it with fire jutsu, and make it into dry pea powder (it should be similar to a mixture of pea flour and pea starch, please ignore any bugs).
Uchiha Xin took some, added water and stirred it when eating, and then steamed it in a pot.
feasible!
For a time, every household in the tribe was researching and creating ways to cook this kind of dried pea powder.
Some people steam it in a pot like Uchiha Shin did before, then cut it into pieces, add their favorite seasonings and eat it.
You can also just rinse and stir it with hot water, add some seasoning and eat it with rice balls or steamed buns.
Some people also make dried pea powder into rice crust and use it as a snack to relieve hunger after daily training.
Uchiha Arata's daughter-in-law, Uchiha Mikiko, learned from Uchiha Arata that the peas were to be sold to the outside world. She targeted the nobles who had always been inclined towards Uchiha and developed two desserts.
One is called Jin Fang, which is made by grinding fresh peas, peeling, washing, boiling, stir-frying with sugar, coagulating, and cutting into pieces. The finished product is light yellow, melts in the mouth, and tastes sweet.
One is called Chengsha Soup. Wash and peel the peas, add water to boil the peas into a paste, add enough sugar, and add shredded dried persimmons or red dates. After cooling and solidifying, take it out. It is sweet and delicious, delicate and sweet.
For a time, these two desserts became the most popular desserts among Uchiha.
……
A month later, Kyojuro summoned another Pea Shooter.
All Uchiha stores also officially began to provide pea-related foods. Ordinary restaurants and taverns sold cold pea powder or pea rice crust, while high-end tea houses sold Jinfang and Chengsha soup.
In order to suit the aristocratic aesthetic, the Jinfang and Chengsha soups are made particularly exquisitely and even have carvings on them.
The price, too, is equally impressive.
At the suggestion of Uchiha Madara, the Uchiha also opened smaller stores on the streets where ordinary people could directly buy dry powder and make it at home. The price was cheaper than the same weight of wheat flour.
(Five kilograms of rice is enough for one person's staple food consumption for 20 days, which means one pea is equal to one person's staple food consumption for one month. The Pea Shooter produces 480 peas a day. Uchiha now has a total of two Pea Shooters, with a daily output of 2 tons. Although the quality will be greatly reduced after processing, the base number is too large. Uchiha changed his career to become a food dealer on the spot.)
--------
"Tobirama! The mission is over, let's go get something to eat!"
The white-haired boy was dragged by his companions into a small restaurant on the street. Before he could refuse, his companions asked the waiter about the shop's sign.
"what is this?"
Tobirama looked at the pale yellow bowl of noodles in front of him, while his companion was fiddling with the seasonings provided by the store on the table.
"It's called pea flour, and we have to season it ourselves. Do you want soy sauce or salt?"
"Salt, I've never seen this before, is it a new product?"
"It seems that someone has discovered a high-yield pea. As the pea yield has increased, these restaurants have started to think of new products to make money. This is delicious with vinegar! You should try it!"
Tobirama picked up the chopsticks and ate a piece. It was indeed delicious, with an amazing texture. His brother would definitely like this new thing.
Alas, I don’t know when big brother will be able to come out of the Wet Bone Forest.
(In the past when supplies were scarce, most restaurants would not provide self-service seasonings on the table. After all, salt was very precious at that time. However, this is Uchiha's store. At this stage, they are mainly promoting pea flour products, so they are a bit reckless, but they are not losing money. After all, there are still big contributions from the nobles.)
