Inside the office, Hoshino Hideichi stared at the scroll in thought for a moment before looking up.

Tsunade immediately looked over expectantly, but Hoshishita Shuichi said, "How about we grab a late-night snack first?"

"If you can't find a solution right now, you might as well stop and relax. Maybe that will help you find a solution."

Tsunade instantly became furious.

Hoshita Shuichi then asked, "Lady Tsunade hasn't participated in the eating contest yet, has she?"

Tsunade's face darkened: "No."

Hoshino Hideichi smiled and said, "Then let's go together tomorrow!"

"If I lose, then I will obey Lady Tsunade's orders and do as you command."

Tsunade curled her lip: "Tch, brat, don't be so confident. You're not that important."

Hoshita Hide crossed his arms: "Of course, Lady Tsunade is the core. However... I do have a few ideas."

"Then hurry up and say it, you bastard!"

Tsunade propped herself up on the table and yelled at Hoshino Hideichi, spitting all over his face and making his hair fly backward.

Shizune, standing nearby, looked worried; angering Lady Tsunade could be disastrous.

Yakushi Nonou, on the other hand, remained calm, watching the scene with a smile.

Hoshino Hideichi wiped the drool from his mouth and said helplessly, "Just kidding to lighten the mood!"

But the next moment, his expression turned serious, and he said, "Lady Tsunade, if your brain, your consciousness, is the Hokage, then all the cells in your body are the numerous Konoha ninjas."

"So how do you manage to command them so easily?"

Tsunade listened thoughtfully: "Of course, the Hokage can't directly manage every ninja and give orders to each one."

"With the Hokage by their side to assist them with strategies, and the Anbu managed by the Anbu squad leaders, who in turn have platoon leaders."

"Ordinary ninjas are led by the Jonin squad leader, followed by various Jonin. Jonin are often capable of handling things independently..."

"So, you mean to use a tiered, graded approach, gradually reducing the difficulty?"

Hoshino nodded: "Lady Tsunade should be more familiar with the human body than I am. In terms of chakra circulation, the entire human body can be divided into three systems, or rather, three cores."

"Forehead, heart..."

Hoshino Hideichi pointed to his forehead, heart, and then his navel.

"These three locations are like transportation hubs, connecting the upper and lower parts and linking all the meridian systems in the human body. That's why I also set up a Yin seal on the abdomen before."

"The human body's systems are undoubtedly extremely sophisticated and perfect."

"Therefore, we already have a ready-made, most perfect and sophisticated system that can connect every single cell."

Tsunade frowned: "Of course I know that, but precisely because it is so perfect and meticulous, it is extremely difficult to utilize."

Hoshita Shuichi chuckled and shook his head: "Lady Tsunade, there are always thresholds to mastering any ninjutsu."

"Even the most basic Three Body Techniques are no exception."

"Such a technique is undoubtedly of S-rank difficulty. You can't expect everyone to be able to practice it."

Without a doubt, Tsunade has fallen into a trap.

At this moment, Yakushi Nonou said, "What Shuichi just mentioned about layered and graded management means controlling the body through the three chakra cores of the human body in a graded and partitioned manner."

"Chakra is very mysterious. Because it is refined from spiritual and physical energy, chakra possesses personal will, which is why it can create techniques like clones and shadow clones. Therefore, it is called a power that can connect with the mind."

"If the human brain is like the Hokage, then the forehead, heart, and abdomen are like the Hokage's assistants, the Anbu, and the Jonin team, respectively."

Shizune added, "It's like setting up three shadow clones in these three core locations to manage the three major areas of the body."

Hoshino Shuichi immediately gave a thumbs up.

Shizune smiled, then looked at Tsunade and said cautiously, "Lady Tsunade, I think Shuichi's suggestion is worth trying."

Tsunade didn't say anything, but got up and walked out the door: "Didn't we say we were going out for a late-night snack?"

The group exchanged smiles, then followed each other out.

After inviting Asuka, the group of five enjoyed a delicious late-night snack before parting ways.

The next day.

At 9 a.m., Hoshino Shuichi and his two companions met up with Tsunade and Shizune and went to the Akimichi clan's shop to participate in the eating contest.

The competitive eating contest has been going on for almost a month, so it's not nearly as popular as it was at the beginning.

But it has indeed attracted many diners to visit every day, not for anything else, but just to see if anyone has broken the record again in the store's rankings.

So when Hoshino Hideichi and his group entered the shop, they heard many diners talking.

"As expected of one of the Legendary Sannin, it's been ten days and no one has been able to break his record!"

"I wonder if Tsunade and Orochimaru, both of the Legendary Sannin, could break this barrier?"

"Lady Tsunade has signed up, but Lord Orochimaru hasn't!"

"Then let's look forward to Lady Tsunade!"

"Minato, the Jonin, is also very strong. As expected of Jiraiya-sama's disciple, he is only two bowls behind Jiraiya-sama."

"And there's Lady Kushina, even stronger than Jonin Minato!"

"Who is this guy named Might Guy? How can he eat so much? He's stronger than many Jonin, even surpassing Lord Sakumo!"

……

"Lady Tsunade!"

"What?"

"Lady Tsunade has arrived!"

The diners and onlookers inside the restaurant immediately became excited. Soon, the restaurant owner arrived and, upon learning that five people from Xingxia Xiuyi had come to compete, immediately began making arrangements.

Soon, news of Tsunade's participation in the competitive eating contest spread quickly, and more and more people came to the shop, ordered a bowl of udon noodles, and watched the spectacle.

While waiting, Hoshino Shuichi was looking at the rankings on the wall.

The first place goes to Jiraiya, whose record is an astonishing 41 bowls.

The second place winner was Kushina Uzumaki, with 40 bowls.

The third place went to Shuimen, with 39 bowls.

In addition, Hoshino Shuichi also saw familiar names such as Hatake Sakumo, Kakashi, Sarutobi Asuma, and Might Guy was among them, and he ate quite a lot, 30 bowls.

If this is how they usually eat, I wonder if Uncle Dai could afford to feed them.

Well, Uncle Dai ate quite a lot too.

When the show aired, it was revealed that Might Guy had eaten 36 bowls.

Unfortunately, there was no Akimichi Shigeiwa...

Hoshino Shizuka sighed inwardly.

A moment later, the shopkeeper was ready.

Hoshita Shuichi collected his thoughts, sat down with Tsunade and the others, and under the gaze of many diners, the match began with a command from the Akimichi clan referee.

Xingxia Xiu started eating methodically at first.

Yakushi Nono and the others ate slowly and politely.

But everyone was quite fast, eating bowl after bowl.

After 20 bowls, Shizune was the first to give up, unable to eat anymore, and lay on the table watching Hoshino Shuichi.

After 25 bowls, Yakushi Nonou also stopped, but she seemed to still have energy left.

Hoshino Shuichi and Tsunade's speed didn't slow down at all, but Asuka's speed did.

After 32 bowls, Asuka's performance also ended.

So everyone in the store stared at Hoshino Shuichi and Tsunade.

Some people couldn't help but whisper among themselves, "Who is this kid? How can he eat so much? He seems to be able to rival Lady Tsunade?"

"You don't know him at all?"

"What, is he famous?"

"Hmph, Shuichi is the youngest Chunin and Special Jonin in Konoha, and even the entire ninja world!"

"What, a Special...Special Jonin? At this age..."

"He must be under 10 years old, right?"

"Gulp... This is absolutely amazing!"

"He's also a disciple of Jonin Minato, and he studied medical ninjutsu under Lady Tsunade. He's currently a special Jonin in the medical team!"

"sharp!"

……

Listening to the murmurs, Hoshishita Shuichi couldn't help but think, "After this eating contest, the whole of Konoha will probably know about it by now, right?"

He previously broke the record for the youngest person to be promoted to Chunin and then Special Jonin, but this was only within the ninja community, and many people had never even seen him.

But this time, the ranking list for the competitive eating contest has a portrait on it.

Huh?

Suddenly, Hoshino Shuichi sensed movement in the word tree.

He paused for a moment, then immediately shifted his attention to the word tree.

As expected, a new term has been added.

Entry: Widely Renowned

Acquisition Requirements: Spread your fame throughout the major ninja countries and villages of the ninja world.

Effects: Luck increased by 50%, persuasive skills increased by 100%, charm increased by 100%.

It can actually improve one's luck!

Hoshino Hideichi was startled. This thing was ethereal and mysterious, and in the simplest terms, it was luck.

Bad luck can cause even water to get stuck between your teeth.

If you're lucky, you can reach your destination no matter which path you choose.

There's another saying: When fortune smiles, heaven and earth lend their strength; when luck turns, even heroes are powerless.

"However, it's a bit dangerous for a ninja to show their eye bags..."

Just as I was thinking this, I heard a gasp of surprise.

"Jiraiya-sama has been surpassed!"

"As expected of Lady Tsunade!"

"Shuichi Jonin is doing quite well too, he's already had 40 bowls!"

……

Hoshino Hideichi turned to look at Tsunade, who already had two more bowls than him, and immediately gathered his thoughts to focus on the competition.

Eat! Eat!

Unlike others, Hoshino Shuichi and Tsunade both practiced the Yin Seal and possessed exceptional chakra control and refining abilities.

They ate, refined chakra, and stored chakra simultaneously.

Even so, their digestive abilities are still limited, but there is no doubt that both of them are very good at it.

In particular, Hoshino Shuichi's physique has been improved several times, and his recovery ability has also doubled, which has also greatly enhanced his digestive ability.

Soon, Hoshino Shuichi caught up with Tsunade, which caused a chorus of exclamations: That's amazing!

When they reached the 50-bowl mark, Tsunade turned to look at Hoshino Shuichi: "This guy is really... his digestion ability is even better than mine?"

She can certainly continue eating, but if she continues, it will put too much pressure on her digestive system and cause damage.

And... let's just let this guy have his way!

When she had finished 52 bowls, Tsunade finally stopped.

Shuichi Hoshino, however, continued.

This is not yet his limit; his digestive system is still very powerful.

However, he also realized that the benefits of a comprehensive improvement in physical fitness could not be assessed simply by increasing the chakra limit.

If this continues, and his chakra limit reaches a level similar to that of Hashirama Senju, his physical constitution might even surpass Hashirama's.

60 bowls!

The onlookers inside the shop were stunned.

The shop owner was also shocked.

70 bowls!

The shop was completely silent.

After 75 bowls, Hoshino Shizuka finally put down his chopsticks and let out a satisfied burp.

That's the limit!

If this continues, it will damage your spleen and stomach.

"This should be enough, right?"

Hoshino Hideichi muttered to himself.

Immediately afterwards, enthusiastic applause and countless exclamations of praise rang out in the store!
