Chapter 55 - Branch Demon Eyes

As soon as Xin reached out, all the money vanished.

"Let me, let me open them!" Naruto reached out impatiently.

Then came a thud.

Tsunade directly slammed her fist onto Naruto's head.

"It's best if Teuchi opens these Mystery Box himself." She remembered what Xin had said earlier.

The Mystery Box represent a change in the fate of the person who opens them.

This is Teuchi's dream.

Seriously, who knew dreams could be realized in this way.

Tsunade continued eating her ramen heartily.

As for Teuchi.

Looking at the Mystery Box in front of him, he swallowed nervously and slowly reached out his hand.

Everyone else, even Sasuke, was staring intently, their tension palpable.

It was simply because Xin had described the Mystery Box as too magical, mentioning food hunters and changing destiny, coupled with the unusual attitude of a legendary ninja like Tsunade.

They all felt.

As if something incredible would happen once the Mystery Box were opened.

In this atmosphere, Teuchi finally touched the first Mystery Box.

He picked it up and slowly opened it.

Inside was... a can of edamame?

Teuchi poured everything out; it was indeed a can of edamame.

"What? It's just edamame." Naruto seemed greatly disappointed. "A Mystery Box that costs fifty thousand yuan only has some edamame?"

"Just this?"

Sasuke frowned tightly, looking at Xin, his eyes filled with unspeakable disappointment.

He talked it up so much.

Was he just a charlatan in the end?

"These aren't ordinary edamame, are they?" Tsunade, however, was already well aware of the Mystery Box' characteristics.

"That's right." Xin nodded with a smile. "Although your luck isn't great, and the value of this item isn't very high, it's still quite rare. Mr. Teuchi, try opening the edamame pods and take a look."

Xin's words seemed to pique the others' attention again.

From the outside, no matter how you looked at it, they just seemed like ordinary edamame.

Teuchi didn't hesitate.

He picked up one pod directly and opened the outer shell.

"Ah—!" Sakura let out a thin scream, as if startled.

Because.

Inside the shell were some round, rolling eyeballs!

That's right, except for the lack of bloodshot veins, they looked exactly like eyeballs.

White sclera, black pupils.

Let alone Sakura, even Naruto and Sasuke felt a sense of creepiness.

"These are special edamame called Branch Demon Eyes," Xin explained with a smile. "Don't let their appearance scare you; they taste quite good. If you eat them with alcohol, they have a unique aroma. For drinkers, they are a rare snack to go with drinks."

This kind of bizarre delicacy naturally came from the world of Toriko.

Xin had put quite a few magical ingredients inside these Mystery Box.

"Snack with drinks?" Tsunade seemed interested. "Teuchi, you should have some sake here. Give me a little to try."

Although it was a ramen shop, many ninjas liked to drink alcohol.

So Ichiraku Ramen also kept a small stock of sake.

At this moment, a bottle was brought out.

Teuchi first poured a cup for Tsunade, then a small cup for himself, and put some of the grotesque-looking edamame into his mouth to go with it.
