Chapter 17 — The New Satan's Dinner
At noon, master and apprentice stared at the charred, bubbling mass in the pot, falling into a deep and solemn silence.
"Master... is this the result of using Sharingan to copy someone else's cooking?" Gion asked cautiously.
Uchiha Madara's expression darkened slightly.
"...A miscalculation. I copied his movements, but I forgot the seasoning placements were completely different."
He was referring, of course, to a chef he'd tried to mimic copying precise hand movements using Sharingan, just as Kakashi had copied Zabuza's Water Style techniques flawlessly but clearly, cooking was another matter altogether.
Gion, seeing Madara gazing contemplatively at the blackened pot, took a quiet step back.
She desperately wanted to escape before the old demon of the kitchen could utter that inevitable sentence.
But, alas, she was still one step too slow.
"...No. We must not waste food."
With a flick of his fingers, numerous thick wooden branches erupted from the floor Madara's [Wood Style: Deep Forest Emergence] at work trapping Gion mid-turn as she tried to flee.
Gion, her face paling with horror, struggled against the tightening vines, shouting frantically at Madara, who now extended his hands ominously.
"NOOOO! I'm the future Admiral Gion! I can't die here! Release me, you old man with a kitchen black hole! Evil Uchiha!!"
Madara ignored her cries, instead calmly retrieving plates from the cupboard.
He carefully ladled out portions of the still-bubbling black mass from the pot, the sinister gurgling echoing like a death knell.
As the spoon clanged against the sides of the pot, Gion's heart grew colder and colder.
The sound was eerily reminiscent of the ominous bells tolling atop Marineford during executions.
"AHHHHH! HELP! Vice Admiral Garp! Fleet Admiral Sengoku! Teacher Zephyr! Someone's trying to murder the future flower of the Navy! Save me! This madman's lost his mind!!"
Frantically thrashing, Gion suddenly heard a sharp crack—the branch binding her right wrist splintered!
Hope flickered in her eyes.
Freedom was within reach!
But just then, Madara's cold voice cut through the air like a blade.
"Wood Style: Tree Bind Eternal Burial."
The vines thickened instantly, twisting around her tighter than before.
The branches bloomed until they filled the entire dining room, pinning Gion to her chair like a prisoner on death row.
At that moment, Uchiha Madara, carrying a plate of Satan's Dinner in both hands, strode slowly out of the kitchen.
It was as if a gust of cold, evil wind blew from hell itself, swirling around his form.
Gion could only watch, frozen in terror, as Madara approached step by dreadful step.
"Master! Please, I was wrong!" she wailed, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"I'll never mention the Will of Fire again! I'll pay you a retirement pension! Please don't! This isn't human food!!"
The putrid stench grew thicker, stabbing into her nose like kunai.
Madara said nothing, the plate creeping ever closer.
"MASTER, WAIT! You should eat first!" Gion cried desperately.
"The Warring States General said it 'filial piety starts with serving your elders'! As an apprentice, it's improper for me to eat before you, Master! Please believe me, I'm really not hungry! PLEASE KEEP THAT AWAY FROM ME AAAAAHHHHH!!"
...
After what felt like an eternity, silence finally returned to the small house of the Uchiha.
Gion lay slumped over the table, face drained of all color, tears staining her cheeks.
From the corner of her slack mouth, a lavender-colored liquid drooled out evidence of the tragic "meal" she had endured.
One trembling hand reached out helplessly into the air, as if trying to grasp her departing sense of taste before it fled forever.
"General Gion... is not clean anymore... ┭┮﹏┭┮"
Meanwhile, Uchiha Madara, utterly unmoved by the devastation he had wrought, rose and began cleaning the table with his usual stoic efficiency.
"My mistake," he muttered to himself.
"I didn't realize that dish soap was mixed in with the seasoning."
Gion had once imagined that, after spending enough time with Uchiha Madara, she would slowly teach him how to cook properly.
She dreamed of preparing delicious meals day after day, of filling the house with mouthwatering aromas.
But reality, it seemed, was crueler than any nightmare.
Now it seems that I am still too naive, even if there is a day when Madara can cook delicious food, I probably won't see it.
Madara was actually a little embarrassed, he didn't expect the food he made to be so unpalatable, but after feeding the little ghost two mouthfuls, she started to foam.
Even he himself gave up silently after taking two bites.
Uchiha Madara couldn't figure it out, they were all harmless things, but when combined together, they could actually make him feel the taste of death.
Thanks to that satanic dinner, he now feels that the water is delicious in the world, while Gion is lying on the table, completely spoiled.
Gion swore secretly that when he grew up enough to beat his master, he would tie him to the dining table and let him eat a pot full of Satan's dinner in one go! ! !
General Gion, revenge must be avenged!
Just thinking about it, Gion struggled to get up, walked into the kitchen with the last of his strength, wrote down all the seasonings used in "Satan's Dinner", and then fell down on the kitchen floor with a peaceful face... ..take a nap.
It's a pity that a certain evil Uchiha didn't let her sleep for long, and was caught by Gion
"You are about to start school, and before school starts, there is another test."
Gion rubbed his eyes sleepily
"Let me sleep for a while~ What kind of test?"
"Fight with me."
Gion froze for a moment, then began to struggle violently.
"Ah! You evil Uchiha! The evil heart is not dead! Sure enough, you just want to find a chance to kill me, and then tell her sister Tsuru that it was a failure in cultivation after she comes back, so that you can avoid being buried by General Gion Fate in the soil!"
With two bang bangs, Gion, who was struggling violently, stood beside Uchiha Madara obediently with two packs on his head, and said with a flattering face
"Master, why don't you let me go for the sake of being so cute, okay? You have only been in possession of this apprentice for a month. You are not serious about what you do. If you beat me to death, you will be fine." Apprentice wow."
"Think about it, if you don't have me in your life, you can't get up early to prepare breakfast every day, you can't clean the house every day, you can't watch me play hooligans, you can't... no no no, without me, you I can only go out and hunt those stinky pirates, how can it be better to be around the sweet and lovely Admiral Gion, right, wow master."
As Gion talked, he felt more and more wrong, so he hurriedly changed his words.
On the contrary, Uchiha Madara's eyes became brighter and brighter, as if he was considering the feasibility of this matter, and the corners of his expressionless mouth began to smile, as if he was imagining a better life without Gion.
Seeing that Uchiha Madara's heart was moved by what he said, Gion panicked. Could this evil Uchiha take it seriously, so he hurriedly changed his words.
"Okay, okay, the teacher's order is hard to break, General Gion can only promise you."
The light in Uchiha Madara's eyes dimmed instantly, as if a little disappointed.
All of this was seen by Gion, he breathed a sigh of relief, and thought to himself
"Huh~, thanks to the quick response, otherwise this master might have made a move. Wow, he really deserves to be the evil Uchiha, he is quite cold-blooded."
Looking at the complex expression on Gion's face in front of her, Uchiha Madara could see what she was thinking at a glance, and secretly regretted why she was blinded by lard back then, and let her know what the guy in Toboma was doing. My own nickname.
It's alright now, this damn girl, opening her mouth every day is the evil Uchiha, and it's almost become a mantra. If Garp's old guys listen to this, the entire navy will probably know it, and I don't want my old face. ?
Originally, he thought that this sparring should be done more lightly, but thinking of this, he decided to use a little more strength, so as to save this girl from talking about every door every day.
The owner of the restaurant already knows about the evil Uchiha. If this dead girl starts school, she might be able to live in another power.
Gion felt a sudden cry, as if someone wanted to hurt the future General Gion. What she didn't notice was that Madara Uchiha's aura behind her became more and more dangerous.
Gion didn't notice the malicious Uchiha Madara behind him at all, bouncing and walking in front of him.
I was still thinking in my heart, but it was just a test. When I pretended to be pitiful, I guess that evil Uchiha would let me go.
