Naruto's civilian cannon fodder starts with the three-body technique

Chapter 43 Food Sources
At this time.

Gulu gulu...

There were rumblings in his stomach and the feeling of hunger kept coming. Umino Sasuke immediately felt his eyes turn green and he had the urge to eat everything he saw.

He quickly took out a bag of dried fish and gobbled it down in big mouthfuls. Only after he had eaten nearly two kilograms of dried fish did he manage to get rid of the hunger that was simply impossible to suppress.

One has to sigh that the law of conservation of energy applies everywhere. Although the Qiu Dao family's digestion technique is powerful, their food consumption is extremely astonishing.

If he were in Konoha, with the price level there, he would go bankrupt in less than half a year if he continued to eat like this.

No wonder the Akimichi clan owns so many industries. It seems that it is not that these fat guys are greedy or do not know how to bide their time, but that if they do not work hard to make money, they may really starve to death.

"Fortunately, I have mastered the art of infrasonic radar. Even on the front lines of the battlefield, I can be self-sufficient. With the little supplies Konoha gave me, I would starve to death."

According to his infrasonic radar, the river under his feet is a natural granary, the kind that is inexhaustible.

As the river flows, the fish schools upstream and downstream are like leeks, harvested one after another.

Given the rarity of golden croaker, the fact that they can still be caught despite continuous harvesting over the past few months shows how abundant the aquatic products of the River Country are.

The land in the River Kingdom may not be suitable for farming and is not as fertile as the Fire Kingdom, but in terms of fishing and hunting, it is definitely blessed with advantages. It is no wonder that the Wind Kingdom covets this land.

Look, there are a few golden gong fish leisurely eating the water plants at the bottom of the river.

"shock!"

Sasuke Umino directly released the shock force of infrasound, which killed the golden gong fish. This time, he even killed a large group of freshwater fish nearby.

"Water Style: Water Prison Technique."

Umino Sasuke formed seals with his hands and released a water prison, binding all the nearly 100 kilograms of fish in the water prison.

After bringing the fish to the shore, they took out the fish butchering knife and started to process it. In order to save time, all the internal organs were thrown away except for the delicious fish maw.

It took quite a while to finally process all the freshwater fish. Except for a few golden croakers, which were marinated in advance and ready for dinner to entertain Akimichi Torifon, all other freshwater fish weighing more than ten kilograms were put on the grill, while the smaller ones were all made into smoked fish.

Smoked fish takes a long time to make, but grilled fish can be done very quickly.

Sasuke Umino was already extremely hungry, so he quickly picked up a sand grouper weighing nearly 20 kilograms and started eating it.

At the same time, the chakra in the body began to stimulate the vagus nerve endings in the intestines. Soon, the intestines began to move, and gastric acid, bile, and digestive enzymes were secreted in large quantities, digesting the fish eaten in the stomach and converting them into surges of energy.

"Water Release: Kirigakure's Technique."

Sasuke Umino immediately felt that he seemed a little weak just now, but now he was fine again, and began to practice various ninjutsu.

He even released water prison techniques from time to time to tie up the precious aquatic products found in the river and throw them onto the shore.

After all the food energy in the body was consumed, he would go to the shore and eat another ten pounds of fish. By the way, he would take some time to process the precious aquatic products that had just been thrown ashore. If they were relatively resilient, he would deal with them later. He should focus on cultivation.

In this way, he would practice after eating, and eat fish when he ran out of energy from practice. In between, he would catch and kill fish. He was like a machine, tireless, repeating this cycle over and over again.

After practicing for nearly four hours, he finally stopped practicing when he saw that the sun was about to set and started preparing dinner to entertain Akimichi Torifon today.

Although he didn't catch any more yellow-margined turtles this afternoon, he did manage to catch a tabletop-sized Sichuan mussel. If it hadn't opened its massive shell, allowing him to sense the large pearl hidden within, he would have missed this treasure. While not as rare as the yellow-margined turtle, the Sichuan mussel is still a rare and premium ingredient, and if cooked with rice wine, it's a truly nourishing treat.

And it just so happened that there were a few bottles of good wine in Tekudo's sealed scroll.

These fine wines were specially prepared by the elders of Shoujiutang's family for Shoujiutang to curry favor with the leaders on the front line, and now is the perfect time to put them to good use.

Having sensed that Akimichi Toribo was heading this way, he could only speed up the cooking process, asked Tekudo and the others to stop practicing, and invited them to come over to help.

"Captain, a pearl this big must be worth at least 100,000 taels."

"Riao, you are the young master of the Inuzuka family, but your knowledge is so limited. The pearl in my aunt's collection is worth three hundred thousand taels, but its color and size are far inferior to this one."

Tekudo snatched the pearl from Ryo's hand and examined it carefully.

The pearl in his hand is bigger than a quail egg. Judging from its quality and color, it would cost at least 500,000 taels to buy it.

"Oh, that's a good harvest."

Sasuke Umino's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that this unexpected gain would be so big. It was equivalent to nearly a hundred detonating tags.

However, we are now on the front line of the battlefield, and it is also the Ninja War. As they say, antiques are valuable in prosperous times, and gold is valuable in troubled times. I guess I won't be able to cash in this pearl in the next few years. It is suitable to use it as a gift.

Of course, it is impossible to give such precious pearls to Akimichi Torifon, and he is not interested in it. It would be better to give him a sumptuous meal, which would be more effective.

The Sichuan mother clam looks very big, weighing two or three hundred kilograms, but in fact, there are only a few edible parts, accounting for only a little more than 20% of the total. Only the muscles, mantle and umbilical glands are edible, and all other internal organs must be discarded, leaving only about fifty kilograms of edible meat. With Akimichi Noboru's appetite, it is not enough for him alone, and now there is a big eater, so it is naturally even less.

"There's still time."

Umino Sasuke sensed that Akimichi Torifon was less than two kilometers away from here. At his speed, he would arrive in a few minutes.

Although the time is a bit short, it is enough.

The yellow and white glands of Sichuan mussels are the best seasoning and flavor-enhancing treasures. You don’t need too many ingredients to make an excellent flavor-enhancing soup.

The two large shells of the Sichuan mother clam can be used as two extra-large grilling plates for grilling fish.

Isn’t that big iron pot the best hot pot pot?

Put the marinated fish pieces on the clam shells and grill them, then wait to eat.

Next, heat oil in a pan and sauté the spices until fragrant. Pour in the yellow glands of the Sichuan mussels and stir-fry until golden brown. Pour in rice wine and sauté until fragrant. Then quickly pour in boiling water and continue cooking for a few minutes. A pot of excellent soup base is basically ready.

Finally, while the soup base in the pot is not yet fully cooked, pick up the fish knife, cut various fish meats and Sichuan mother clams into slices and arrange them, waiting for Akimichi Torifon to arrive and cook hot pot.

As for the various sauces, they have been prepared in the sealed scroll of Tekudo, with dozens of flavor combinations for you to choose from.

Soon, there were rustling sounds coming from the forest. This time, with Umino Sasuke's reminder, Tekudo and the other two let down their guard.

"Wow, so fresh and fragrant."

As soon as Akimichi Toribo arrived, he was fascinated by this pot of soup base.
