Cherreads

Chapter 208 -  Nagi’s Repayment

"Here we go—Braised Fish with Golden Crispy Legs, Roast Pigeon with Special Sauce, Diced Mountain Chicken with Walnuts, Crab Meat with Twin Bamboo Shoots, Pine-Mushroom Lion's Mane, Cuttlefish Soup, Lotus Leaf Chicken, Beef Stir-fried with White Mushrooms…"

Nagi brought dish after dish out of the kitchen.

Seeing several tables filled with food, Tsunade and the others were dazzled.

"T-This is way too exaggerated!"

"Isn't this a little too luxurious?!"

"That smell… ah, I can't take it anymore!"

Nagi placed bowls and chopsticks in front of them.

"Alright, start eating. There's dessert after the meal as well."

"Let's eat!" ×5

Naruko and the others immediately began eating.

And once they started… they couldn't stop.

"This diced chicken is amazing!"

"This fish soup is so fresh! And the chicken is so tender!"

Kushina sighed while eating.

"So delicious! But… sigh… as a housewife, I've completely lost."

Although Nagi had prepared a huge amount of food, everyone still felt an overwhelming urge to fight for it, afraid they would miss out if they hesitated.

Thus, the four women silently began a fierce food-snatching battle.

[Jiraiya]: Whoa, Master-Uncle! This meal is way more luxurious than the last one.

[Hiruzen Sarutobi]: Just watching them eat makes this old man hungry.

[Tsunade]: Damn it, I'm so jealous of the me in that world!

[Minato Namikaze]: It does look great. Unfortunately I wasn't there.

[Hashirama Senju]: Looks like my junior's cooking skills have improved a lot.

[Nagi]: Probably because my strength has increased, so my control is much better now.

The Screen Continues…

Meanwhile, Tonton was happily eating noodles on the floor.

Yes—these days even pigs got noodles to eat.

Suddenly, Tonton sensed a strange gaze.

It looked up and discovered Nagi occasionally glancing at it while eating.

Nagi thought to himself:

"This little pig has been raised very well. Its skin is glossy, and it's a black pig too… Hmm. The meat must be firm, with a nice layer of fat. Definitely premium cooking material."

Tonton shivered under Nagi's gaze and quickly moved closer to Shizune and Tsunade.

Then it saw Tsunade eating braised pig head in sauce.

"!!!"

Tonton immediately fainted from fright.

After a while…

"Here are the desserts: Emerald Bean Cakes, Chestnut Cakes, Double-Colored Bean Cakes, Red Bean Rolls, Honey Peanuts, Spiced Cashews, Candied Walnuts, Apple Gummies…"

Nagi placed the desserts on the table.

But—

"Burp… I can't eat anymore."

"No… I still want to eat… burp…"

"…"

Tsunade, Shizune, Kushina, and Naruko were all sitting on the sofa, clutching their bulging stomachs.

More than half the food on the table had already been cleared.

Yet they still struggled, trying to taste the remaining half.

As for dignity?

What was that? Could it be eaten?

When Nagi brought out the desserts, the four women felt both joy and agony.

Joy—because the desserts were incredibly delicious.

Agony—because they simply couldn't eat another bite.

Seeing their situation, Nagi said awkwardly,

"Uh… why don't you pack some to take home?"

"Agreed." ×4

"But let us rest for a while first."

After some time…

"Nagi, if you ever need anything in the future, just say the word."

"Exactly! I'll definitely come help on time."

"Well then, goodbye everyone."

"Goodbye." ×4

After leaving the house, Kushina and Tsunade used the Transformation Technique to hide their swollen stomachs.

Then, with one hand holding dessert boxes and the other supporting themselves against the wall, they slowly made their way home.

Namikaze Residence

"Kushina, Naruko… what happened to you two?"

Minato looked confused at the mother and daughter lying on the sofa with huge bellies.

"Didn't you go to Nagi's house for dinner?"

"Yes… but we, burp, ate a bit too much."

"Right. Oh, there's also food and desserts we packed on the table."

Hearing this, Minato curiously opened the package.

Immediately, an explosion of irresistible aroma struck him.

He picked up a piece of diced chicken with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth.

His body trembled slightly.

Then came the second bite.

Then the third…

While tasting the food, Minato noticed another package of desserts.

He opened it and saw a variety of beautifully crafted sweets.

He selected a jujube paste cake.

And then… a second one.

Kushina and Naruko watched with envy.

"Minato, we haven't tried the desserts yet. How do they taste?"

After tasting a chestnut cake, Minato nodded.

"Sweet, soft, and delicious. The aroma and sweetness of chestnuts combine perfectly with the delicate fragrance of glutinous rice. This is practically art."

Kushina and Naruko drooled when they heard that.

Minato smiled.

"But you two probably can't eat anymore right now. And since I didn't eat much dinner… I'll help you take care of them."

"In your dreams!"

"Dad, you're too cunning!"

Thus, the Namikaze family staged a dramatic dessert-snatching battle.

That Night…

Nagi brought his index and middle fingers together.

Blue chakra gathered at his fingertips.

"Spirit Talisman Seal."

His fingers traced symbols in the air.

"By command—gods and demons, come here."

The six characters flew forward and struck a cup.

A web-like sealing pattern immediately spread across the cup's surface, surrounding it.

The six characters were imprinted in the center.

Even the droplets of water inside the cup froze in midair.

"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique."

A small transparent white cube appeared at Nagi's fingertip.

It struck the cup, producing a burst of intense light.

When the light faded—

The cup remained completely unharmed.

Nagi then condensed a Truth-Seeking Orb and slammed it into the cup.

The result was the same.

The cup was still perfectly intact.

Nagi nodded in satisfaction.

[Tobirama Senju]: That's quite a powerful seal.

[Madara Uchiha]: Even Truth-Seeking Orbs can't shake it. Impressive.

[Naruto Uzumaki]: But why did Nagi write those six characters?

[Nagi]: I'm not really sure either. It just feels like those six words carry an overwhelming suppressive power.

[Ōnoki]: Sigh… Nagi has even learned Dust Release now.

[Gengetsu Hōzuki]: The way you say that—your Dust Release and the bandage guy's are probably child's play to him now.

[Mū]: …

The Screen Continues…

Several months passed.

One day, Hokage Office.

Minato had the ANBU summon Nagi, Satsuki, Naruko, and Hinata.

When the four arrived, they discovered that not only the Third Hokage and Danzō were present—Fugaku and many other clan heads were also there.

Minato spoke to them solemnly:

"Nagi, Hinata, Naruko, Satsuki. A few months ago, the First Hokage and the Second Hokage already informed me of your strength.

Having such power is a blessing for Konoha.

Originally, there was a mission I intended to ask Lord First to handle. But now it seems we don't need to trouble him.

I have a mission for you. Of course, you may choose to refuse. But if a critical moment comes, I hope you will lend your strength."

"Lord Fourth, you're too polite. Please give your orders."

"Alright."

Minato opened a drawer and handed Nagi a red scroll.

"Nagi, this mission has been planned by Elder Danzō since before the Third Great Ninja War.

It is classified as an Ultra S-Rank Mission.

There is no time limit."

Nagi opened the scroll.

Three bold characters immediately caught his eye:

"Purge the Court."
