I Am Fugaku Uchiha

Chapter 22: Fugaku culinary talent



She always thought Uchiha Fugaku was a serious and responsible guy who never cracked a smile. That's why it was so shocking to see how sweet he could be. When her friend complimented her husband, Mikoto smiled sweetly: "Minato is nice guy too."

"Okay, you two chat for a bit, I'm going to cook. Oh, and Kushina, why don't you invite Minato over for dinner later? He can try the new dish I've been working on." Uchiha Fugaku said to the two of them, feeling helpful. He had cooked a few times in the past three months, but he took over the role of cook after finding out yesterday that Mikoto was pregnant.

Although he used to be a guide, he had a friend who was a chef and he learned some skills from him. The dish he bought today was also what he told Mikoto last night.

Kushina looked at Uchiha Fugaku with disbelief. The clan leader actually cooked at home? Even though ninjas had learned some basic cooking for their missions, it was only for survival and convenience. Most of the time, they relied on military rations to fill their stomachs.

Kushina looked at Mikoto's happy smile and felt envious, but she felt better when she thought of how gentle and considerate her Minato was. Fugaku picked up the ingredients she had just bought and went to the kitchen, looking familiar ingredients as he looked at them.

Half hour later

A handsome blond man in a ninja outfit and a jounin vest entered Fugaku's house, led by Kushina. When Minato came in, he glanced around and saw the figure working alone in the kitchen. He couldn't help but be surprised: "Huh? Is Fugaku-sama cooking himself?"

Kushina grinned at Minato and said, "I wonder what he's up to, He won't let us see Do you want to help me find out?"

"No need, no need. It's almost ready." Fugaku's voice came from the kitchen. Soon, plate after plate of dishes came out of the kitchen and filled the entire table. Looking at the dishes on the table, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Wow, these… I've never seen any of them before. But they smell so good." Kushina looked at Uchiha Fugaku with a surprised expression and pointed to the table. "What are these?"

"This is called Tekkadon"

"What about this?"

"This pressed sushi variety consist of a sushi rice base that is topped with marinated mackerel fillet, which is typically covered with a thin, delicate layer of kelp!"

Kushina also looked at Uchiha Fugaku with a surprised expression and said, "That… Fugaku-sama, where did you learn this?"

Fugaku lied through his teeth and said, "Eh? I went to the Konoha Library the other day and saw it by chance. I thought it was good, so I learned it."

Anyway, Konoha Village library big, and there were so many library books inside, there was no way to confirm it.

"it's delicious..." Kushina took a bite of the Saba zushi and couldn't help but exclaim. Kushina admired Fugaku's culinary talent and called him over to give her some tips.

It was not the first time Fugaku had eaten with Minato, because of the relationship between Mikoto and Kushina, so the two had often interacted during this time.

The current Minato was only eighteen years old, just like Kushina. He looked young and sunny, and according to Fugaku's memory, he was afraid that Minato was one of the two sunniest in the history of Konoha, and of course the other one was Naruto who inherited his genes.

He originally wanted to ask him about the Flying Thunder God Ninjustu, but he thought it would be too abrupt to do so, since they had just met. He decided to wait for another opportunity. He was very interested in this ninjustu, which was one of space-time Ninjustu. Even in the final battle against the Ten Tails Obito, it played a importantcu role.

After Minato and Kushina finished eating, they thanked Fugaku and Mikoto and left arm in arm. Fugaku watched them go with a thoughtful expression. Minato was the future fourth Hokage, and Fugaku wondered if he could befriend him and prevent his death. Maybe then, without the interference of Danzo and the third Hokage, the Uchiha clan could survive.

"What are you thinking?" A gentle voice asked from behind. Fugaku turned around and saw Mikoto smiling at him. He shook his head and said, "Nothing. I'm just wondering what we should name our son in the future."
