That's right, what Xin was talking about were Gourmet Hunters from the world of Toriko.
The gourmet food in that world had completely surpassed imagination.
Even the system's descriptions of most of its gourmet foods included warnings.
The weak cannot eat it!
"Gourmet Hunters..." Teuchi murmured, repeating these words, a strange longing seeming to stir within him.
"Mister," Naruto said, looking a bit disbelieving, "If they're that amazing, why have we never heard of them?"
"Yeah, yeah," Sakura nodded subconsciously. They were never mentioned in books either.
"Hmph," Sasuke coolly snorted. "That kind of talk is just to fool kids. The more you eat, the stronger you get? Getting stronger isn't that easy."
Although he subconsciously thought it was fake, Sasuke's slightly disappointed expression showed that deep down, he might still have such an expectation.
A way to quickly become stronger.
Xin glanced at him.
Among the protagonist trio, Sasuke was the most likely person to become his customer.
He pursued power at all costs, had a firm goal, and possessed both means and ability.
"If anyone else said something like that, I definitely wouldn't believe it," Tsunade glanced at Xin, shaking her head with a hint of regret. "But if you say it, then it must be true. It's a shame they're not easy to see."
"Lady Tsunade..." Teuchi looked at Tsunade with some surprise.
"This guy is very strange, no, I should say amazing," Tsunade separated her chopsticks, seemingly ready to eat.
"...Since even Lady Tsunade says so," Teuchi looked firmly at Xin, "I believe it, and I understand what true chefs pursue in gourmet food."
This could also be considered a benefit of Tsunade's good relationship with him.
Tsunade was still highly trusted in Konoha.
"As expected," Xin looked at Teuchi with admiration. "You and the chef who made this bowl of ramen are the same kind of person. So... do you want to be like him and walk the path of a true chef?"
"What!?" Teuchi's pupils contracted.
Although he believed it, he also thought it wouldn't be easy to witness.
But, listening to the meaning in Xin's words...
"Under normal circumstances, obtaining that kind of power is almost impossible," Xin's lips curved slightly. He stood up and spread his hands. "However, I am a merchant who grants clients turning points in their destiny. Everything that everyone pursues, whether it's power or wishes, can be realized here with me. So—customer, how about a set of gourmet series Mystery Box?"
Almost the instant his words fell.
A set of small Mystery Box appeared before them.
