I became Hokage in Tokyo

Chapters 202 and 204: Immortal Transformation (4k)

"Pat-pat-pat".

Crack the egg on the corner of the table, then crack it into a bowl with one hand, add a few drops of sweet syrup for seasoning, and stir well. A dipping sauce is ready.

The hot pot was bubbling and boiling, the steam and the aroma of meat mingling together. The tender pink marbled beef changed color after rolling around in the milky white broth for a few seconds.

A pair of chopsticks scooped out several pieces of beef from the hot pot, dipped them in the egg mixture a few times, and then put them in their mouths.

"tasty!"

Namiraki narrowed her eyes, a blissful smile typical of carnivores spreading across her face.

"Although it's not sukiyaki, taking the beef out to cook in the broth like this gives it a unique flavor compared to stewed beef."

She reached out her chopsticks to pick up a slice of beef, but Uchiha Naruto rudely shoved them aside with his chopsticks.

"Raw and cooked food chopsticks should be used separately, Aunt Nami."

"Ningzai, don't be so formal like your brother-in-law. Also, you should call me Nami-chan." Nami-chan said without any awareness.

Naruto Uchiha glanced at Namikazu Sakaki with disdain, then used the serving chopsticks to remove half a plate of beef.

"Waaaah!"

Sakaki Nami's eyes lit up, clearly overwhelmed by Uchiha Naruto's extravagant and grand style.

Beef isn't cheap, and even a poor family like Chibi Maruko-chan's would add some pork to their sukiyaki to make do.

Sakaki Namiryu picked up another bowl, blew on it, took a sip, and savored it a few times before saying:

"This soup is so flavorful and rich! It's even better than the broth for tonkotsu ramen."

nonsense!

Naruto Uchiha raised an eyebrow, a hint of smugness flashing in his eyes.

His soup is made with old hen, ham, and pork bones. If you add sea cucumber, shark fin, abalone, or other ingredients, you can make a Buddha Jumps Over the Wall soup. He spares no expense, so the taste is naturally incredibly delicious.

The difference between Japanese beef hot pot sukiyaki and Chinese hot pot lies in the broth.

To make sukiyaki, first grease the pot with a little butter, then put in the beef and green onions to sear until fragrant, add mirin soy sauce for seasoning, and finally add a little water and vegetables. The main way to cook the ingredients is to let the moisture from the vegetables simmer.

The beef slices were cooked in the pot after a few boils. Uchiha Naruto and Sakaki Namikaze immediately started eating. There was plenty of beef, so there was no need to fight over it. The two of them ate heartily and enjoyed their meal immensely.

Namikazuchi fished a poached egg from the hot pot, took a bite, and commented:

"It's even more delicious to mix a raw egg and dip it in the beef. Mingzai, do you want to try it?"

Sakaki Nami proudly showed her prepared raw egg dipping sauce to Uchiha Naruto.

"snort."

Naruto Uchiha glanced at him sideways, his face full of disdain.

Using raw egg liquid to accompany beef is also a unique feature of sukiyaki.

Yes, it should be considered a Japanese specialty; it's well-known that Japanese people like to eat raw eggs over rice.

A bowl of steaming white rice, topped with a raw egg, and a little soy sauce, makes for a simple meal.

Although these raw eggs were sterile, Uchiha Naruto always felt that their safety was highly questionable and could not accept the sticky texture and fishy smell of raw eggs, so he always avoided them.

"Mingzai, you're still the same as before. You don't eat raw eggs, natto, or miso. How can you even be considered Japanese?"

Sakaki Namikazu said with a hint of regret, "It seems that Uchiha Naruto doesn't know how to appreciate good things."

Uchiha Naruto curled his lip in disdain.

"Aunt Nami, eat more, eat more."

Uchiha Naruto's implication was, "Isn't all this beef enough to satisfy your cravings?"

Shut up!

"What a pity, we have such good beef, but no beer! If I had known, I would have brought a dozen beers myself," Sakaki Nami said with a regretful expression.

Next, she added the other meats and vegetables. The scalding hot pot made Sakaki Nami sweat profusely, and in the end, she groaned while clutching her stomach, behaving very unrefined of an elder.

Although Nami Sakaki is a physical education teacher and has a larger appetite than the average girl, she is nowhere near as big as Naruto Uchiha.

Naruto Uchiha swiftly began clearing away the dishes.

"Mingzai, when did your family start having a dog?"

With nothing better to do than eat her fill, Nami Sakaki started to tormenting Tsunayoshi, the little dog who was gnawing on a bone under the table.

Tsuna hugged the big meaty bone and licked it with great relish. He gnawed all the meat and cartilage off the bone, but he still couldn't bear to let go.

"Oh dear, it's a male puppy. Hasn't it been neutered yet?"

Sakaki Nami casually grabbed Tsuna's hind leg, glanced at him, and laughed.

"Woof?"

Tsuna clearly hadn't expected to be attacked by the female demon. He quickly broke free from Sakaki Namikaze's clutches and cowered at Uchiha Naru's feet with his tail between his legs.

"Ha, this dog is really funny."

Naruto Uchiha was completely dumbfounded.

When I was a child, in my hometown in Shizuoka Prefecture, Aunt Nami was a leader among children, and now she has evolved into a tough woman.

Aunt Nami looks so much like my mother, could my mother also have this kind of personality?

Naruto Uchiha couldn't help but shudder.

He looked down at Tsunayoshi, who was whimpering at his feet with a wronged expression, and put the remaining pieces of raw beef from the plate into Tsunayoshi's food bowl.

"Woof!" Tsuna wagged his tail and lowered his head to wolf down his food.

"Mingzai, this puppy is eating really well, even beef."

Sakaki Namir, ever the social butterfly, turned on the TV and paced around the living room to digest her food. Suddenly, she asked curiously:

"And this beef is so good, this meal must have cost a lot of money. Where did you, a student, get so much money?"

"I earned it by working," Uchiha Naruto said without blinking.

"What kind of part-time job pays so much that you can afford to spend like this?" Nami Sakaki asked suspiciously.

Just then, the television suddenly broadcast a news report.

A recent BBC documentary has caused a major upheaval in the Japanese entertainment industry, exposing the scandal of Johnny Kitagawa, the founder of the well-known Japanese male idol agency Johnny & Associates, who allegedly assaulted and abused the male artists under his management.

"Ming-zai, you didn't take on a part-time job as an idol trainee or a male escort, did you?" Sakaki Nami said half-jokingly.

The Uchiha clan has excellent genes; every man in the Uchiha clan is a handsome man. When my sister was still alive, she complained that her brother-in-law attracted too many women after moving to Tokyo, with countless competitors.

When Mingzai was a child in the village, his good looks were already showing, and he was very popular with girls his age. Later, when he returned to Tokyo, some girls even had tears in their eyes and vowed to be Mingzai's bride when they grew up.

Sakaki Nami carefully examined Uchiha Naruto.

Now, Mingzai has a tall and slender figure, fair skin, and a healthy rosy glow.

With a dignified and beautiful appearance, and a hint of aloofness between his brows, he is definitely a handsome young man with a restrained and aloof nature!

If I weren't already in love with someone, I'd probably be smitten too if I saw a handsome young man like him.

"Aunt Nami-ru!"

Uchiha Naruto emphasized in an annoyed tone:

"What brings you here? If you're just here to freeload, now that you're full, why don't you head home?"

"Ningzai, your score on this month's test improved by several places, right?" Namikazu Sakaki asked.

"Um."

Sakaki Nami is currently an intern physical education teacher at Jinguji High School, and it's easy for her to find out about Uchiha Naruto's test scores.

Despite his hectic schedule of causing trouble, Naruto Uchiha's grades actually improved in April, all thanks to his Shadow Clone Technique.

"As a reward for your improved grades, I'll treat you to a trip to Kohama City in Wakasa Bay, Fukui Prefecture. How about that?" Sakaki Nami pulled out three tickets.

"It's a three-day, two-night travel package from May 3rd to May 5th, and isn't May 5th Boys' Day? Kohama City's carp streamers are also very famous. Naru, you haven't celebrated Boys' Day since you came to Tokyo, have you?"

May 5th is the last day of Golden Week, and also Boys' Day, a national holiday in Japan, as well as the Dragon Boat Festival. On this day, families with boys hang carp streamers at their doors, inspired by the legend of the carp leaping over the Dragon Gate, hoping that their sons will rise against the current like carp and soar to great heights.

Therefore, it is also known as the Carp Festival.

Wakasa Bay?

Wakasa Bay is located in the northwestern part of the Sea of ​​Japan, facing the mainland across the sea.

Upon hearing the place name, Naruto Uchiha frowned, his expression slightly unnatural.

"I'm already fifteen years old, how can I celebrate Boys' Day?"

"It's not that much bigger. Besides, you didn't go out during Golden Week, did you? It would have been a good opportunity to travel. Staying at home all the time is boring, and I'm worried you might get sick from being cooped up at home..."

"You're not my mother, why are you so long-winded?" Uchiha Naruto's lips twitched.

I can be your mom...

Sakaki Nami almost blurted it out, but quickly covered it up, saying:

"After all, I'm your sister's younger sister, so I'm practically your second mother. Naturally, I should care about my nephew's studies and mental health."

"Furthermore, during those days, Obama City will not only be celebrating the Carp Festival, but also its unique Mermaid Festival. You've probably heard of the legend of Yaobikuni, right? The Mermaid Festival originated from that legend, so it's sure to be a very lively event."

Sakaki Nami tried her best to persuade him, and her attitude was even a little too enthusiastic.

"Are there three tickets?"

Naruto Uchiha glanced at the tickets in Namikazu Sakaki's hand and had a feeling that her invitation to Wakasa Bay was not what it seemed.

The reason of celebrating Boys' Day for oneself is completely untenable.

"Well, these three tickets are actually first prize tickets I won while shopping at the convenience store." Sakaki Nami was a little embarrassed.

"Aren't we still short one person? I wonder if your dad and brother-in-law are available?"

Naruto Uchiha glanced at Namikazu Sakaki with some surprise.

"Because I've been calling my brother-in-law too often since I came to Tokyo, he told me not to bother him unless it's important. So, I'm asking you for help." Sakaki Nami looked at Uchiha Naru with pleading eyes.

Naruto Uchiha naturally didn't participate in the Koi Festival, and he was only slightly interested in the Mermaid Festival in Kohama City, remaining noncommittal about whether he wanted to travel there.

However, the name Wakasa Bay made him wary.

Since we'll have to go sooner or later anyway, we might as well just take care of it all at once.

"These are tickets for tomorrow morning. The Immortal Clan hasn't come back during this Golden Week, so he definitely won't be available. Don't get your hopes up too high," Uchiha Naruto said, frowning as he took the travel tickets and looked at them.

"We should at least give it a try. My brother-in-law works so hard, he should take a few days off during the Golden Week holiday."

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Naruto felt somewhat embarrassed.

The fact that the Uchiha Senmon was so busy with his work in the Fourth Investigation Division was undoubtedly related to him.

However, before Uchiha Naruto started causing trouble, the Uchiha Sage Clan was also extremely busy, and thinking about this, Uchiha Naruto felt no remorse at all.

"Then I'll call him."

Naruto Uchiha put the phone on speakerphone in front of Nami Sakaki. After the call connected, he asked where the Uchiha Sagemon was located, but Naruto was vague and didn't give specific details, only saying that it wasn't in Tokyo.

As for the invitation to travel to Wakasa Bay together, he unsurprisingly declined, citing his busy schedule.

"Aunt Nami, I've already told you everything."

"It's okay, Mingzai, if your brother-in-law isn't going, we'll go by ourselves."

Sakaki Nami, who had been somewhat disheartened, rallied again and pumped her fist to encourage herself.

"As for the remaining person, let my roommate go along too."

It's that school doctor with the big black waves.

Uchiha Naruto thought to himself.

"Then we'll drive to pick you up at the door at seven o'clock tomorrow morning, is that alright?"

Fine, I'll go then.

Seeing Uchiha Naruto nod, Sakaki Namikazu also got up to leave. Before saying goodbye, she seemed to remember something and gave some instructions.

"Mingzai, remember to call me Nami-ru-neechan in front of my roommate. If you call me 'Auntie' again and my roommate hears you, she'll definitely make fun of me."

"In exchange, you shouldn't call me Mingzai anymore."

Although it didn't bother me when I was a child in my hometown in Shizuoka Prefecture, I feel a bit ashamed now that I'm older, especially in front of strangers.

"Just like the Immortal Sect, call me A-Ming."

"Just like my brother-in-law?"

Upon hearing this, two blushes rose on Nami Sakaki's wheat-colored cheeks, and she covered her face, muttering to herself.

Why is Aunt Nami acting so strange?

Naruto Uchiha frowned.

After seeing Sakaki Namikaze off, Uchiha Naruto washed the dishes and utensils and then returned to his room.

Then the system panel was opened.

【Uchiha Naruto】

Jonin

【主技能：写轮眼LV3（114/1000）、火遁LV3（102/1000）、三身术LV3（49/1000）、封印术LV3（1/1000）、通灵术LV3（1/1000）、体术LV3（1/1000）】

After upgrading the six skills that were initially unlocked and subsequently unlocked in the system to LV3, Naruto Uchiha finally became a Jonin!

Unlike the special Jonin who can only reach the Jonin level in some areas, Uchiha Naruto reached the Jonin level in all three aspects: ninjutsu, taijutsu, and genjutsu.

After being promoted to Jonin, his chakra level increased dramatically. Although it's unknown how many times Kakashi he has now, he's getting closer and closer to Kisame's chakra reserves.

Not only that, the system also unlocked new features.
