Chapter 22 Instant Cup Noodles

"So, you called me here just to show me this?"

Sakuya, with his white hair and dead fish eyes, squatted in front of the table, staring at the white cup in front of him along with Tetsuya.

The cup has a lid on it.

"What do you know? Let me tell you, this is absolutely the greatest invention since the founding of Konoha."

"You're just bragging. The greatest invention of all is just this one cup? Aren't you afraid of biting your tongue when you talk big?"

Shuoye pursed his lips; he didn't believe it could be the greatest invention of all time.

"What, you don't believe me? The point isn't the cup, but what's inside it. I'll show you right now."

As Tetsuya was speaking, he lifted the lid of the cup, and Sakuya leaned forward to take a look.

He discovered that it was actually a flatbread. It's just a flatbread, what's so great about it?

Then, under Sakuya's watchful gaze, Tetsuya poured the pre-prepared hot water into the cup and put the lid back on.

Sakuya just stared at Tetsuya, wanting to see what this guy was up to.

Soon he smelled a familiar fragrance.

"This is! This is the taste of their signature tonkotsu ramen!"

"Hehehe, just you wait and see!"

When the time was up, Tetsuya opened the lid, stirred the noodles with chopsticks, and then handed the noodles to Sakuya.

"Ta-da! Chiba brand instant cup noodles."

"This is... ramen?"

Sakuya looked at the ramen in the cup with some surprise.

The dough in the cup has now turned into ramen!

"Try it and see how it tastes. This cup is free."

Urged on by Tetsuya, Sakuya picked up his chopsticks and began to taste the food.

The first bite was pretty good; it didn't seem much different from what I usually eat in the store.

However, after taking a few more bites, he realized that something seemed a little different.

A cup of instant noodles isn't very big; it's about the same size as a medium-sized bowl of ramen in the store, and the taste is slightly inferior.

But it's not that much different. The most important thing is that this thing is convenient.

Just soak it in boiling water, and it's ready to eat in a little while.

With this cup, it's also convenient to carry around.

Imagine that in the future, when you're on a mission, you won't have to eat dry, compressed food or tasteless military rations anymore.

"How are you? How do you feel?"

"The taste is okay, but it's still not quite as good as the noodles in the restaurant."

"Oh, that's for sure. Ramen is best served piping hot, fresh out of the pot."

Tetsuya smiled and said again.

"However, the point of this instant cup noodle is convenience and speed. Just add hot water and you can eat it. If that doesn't work, you can eat the noodles dry if you don't have hot water, but the taste will definitely be worse if you eat it dry. With this, you'll be able to enjoy delicious ramen even when you're out doing missions."

Shuoye smiled.

"I never expected that when I casually mentioned it, you actually managed to make ramen that you could eat outside. It must have been really hard on you."

"Oh dear, it wasn't made especially for you. I just wanted to earn more money."

Tetsuya laughed as he spoke. He wasn't lying at all; from the very beginning, his purpose in getting this thing was to make money.

"That's right, your idea can really make money. I think quite a few ninjas would be happy to bring a cup of instant noodles when they go out on missions."

"Right, I think so too. I called you here today to hear your thoughts and see if there's anything that needs improvement. If there are no problems, I plan to start mass production."

Upon hearing Tetsuya's words, Sakuya began to think seriously.

"I don't think there's a big problem. If I had to say something, it would be that you only have one flavor? If you only eat one flavor, you'll probably get tired of it very easily."

"There's no other way for now. I've only been able to develop this one classic flavor so far, but there will definitely be many more new flavors in the future."

"Then I have no problem."

"Okay, then I'll prepare for mass production. When the first batch of products comes out, I'll need your help to promote them."

"no problem."

With Sakuya's approval, Tetsuya officially began production of cup noodles.

What, you want to ask him where the cup noodle production tools came from? Of course, they were extracted from the dog system.

This guy used the cup noodle making process as bait while constantly increasing the stakes, eventually emptying his wallet.

Now is the time to make money and recoup losses.

He used his ninjutsu to dig out a factory beneath the ramen shop, and placed all the cup noodle production machines underneath.

The machines produced by the Dog System can directly seal their own chakra within the machine as an energy source.

The machine started up, and a steady stream of cup noodles was produced.

Chiba Cup Noodles is now officially on sale.

Chiba Ramen is extremely popular among Konoha ninjas, and with the help of Hatake Sakuya's promotion, the first batch of cup noodles sold out immediately.

Not only ninjas came to buy, but also many interested Konoha villagers joined in the fun, since it was the first time Tetsuya had sold something and the price he set wasn't high.

"Mr. Chiba, Jiraiya is here! Do you still have any cup noodles?"

Jiraiya, having finished a day of arduous training, came running over in a loud and boisterous manner.

"Oh, it's Jiraiya. I'm sorry, you're too late. They were sold out by noon."

"Ah! Sold out!"

Jiraiya looked dejected. He had heard that the Chiba boss had released a new type of ramen that could be eaten simply by adding hot water, so he rushed back after finishing his training.

After all, he was training at Mount Myōboku, where he could only eat insects every day, which made Jiraiya very uncomfortable.

He had originally planned to buy more cup noodles to eat while he was training at Mount Myōboku, so he wouldn't have to eat insects.

I didn't expect to be late. Am I destined to eat those disgusting insects?

"Boss, could you tell me how you make those cup noodles?"

"You idiot Jiraiya! How could you pry into someone's business secrets like that!"

Another familiar voice rang out, and Tsunade walked into the shop and punched Jiraiya on the head.

"Tsunade, why did you hit me?"

"Because you're stupid."

"Don't say that about Jiraiya. After all, he's always been a bottom of his class since school."

Orochimaru followed Tsunade into the shop.

"Orochimaru and Tsunade are here too? Are you here to buy cup noodles as well?"

Orochimaru shook his head.

"No, I came here to eat noodles."

"I'm here to eat noodles too, and I'll also pack some to take back for my second grandfather to try. He said he wanted to try your noodles, but he's too busy with work to get away."

"Ah, Second Boss wants to eat my ramen? I'm truly honored. Please wait a moment, I'll make it right away."
