Chapter 870: Outdoor Picnic and Q&A

"Er... Sasuke, with this discovery, I have a way to help you open your eyes quickly, but it might be dangerous. Are you willing to give it a try?"

Tang Ping dumped various ingredients into the pot, the aroma wafting through the air as he spoke.

Using the Eternal God's body as the main ingredient, he naturally wouldn't risk testing it on ordinary people. And he wouldn't want to put the girls in danger either, so Ergouzi was the perfect choice for this experiment.

Success meant a reward, and failure wouldn't hurt him.

Of course, this wasn't mandatory.

If Sasuke didn't want to be a test subject, Tang Ping wouldn't force him.

Being a test subject for Tang Ping required certain qualifications.

Take Housuke Yamakage, for example. If he wasn't Tang Ping's close friend, Tang Ping wouldn't have given him the opportunity. Whether it was the powered armor or various potions, Housuke always got the first taste.

If the experiment succeeded, acquiring it would be difficult and require a hefty price.

But for experiments, there was no need to pay a price.

So, being a test subject for others was like gambling with one's life, but for Tang Ping, it was almost a privilege.

Firstly, the success rate of Tang Ping's creations was always high, and unless luck was against him, nothing would go wrong.

Secondly, even if something did go wrong, Tang Ping's abilities were more than enough to resolve the issue.

Even if someone died, Tang Ping could easily revive them.

Of course, Tang Ping would never mention these last two points.

So, this offer to be a test subject wasn't because of a lack of test subjects, but rather a reward for Ergouzi.

"Alright!"

Sasuke nodded.

Although he wasn't privy to the details, he saw his teacher's subtle nod and instantly agreed.

Sasuke had great trust in Tsukuyuki Hyuga.

Even though Tsukuyuki often treated him coldly, as if he owed someone money.

But Sasuke knew that even if Tsukuyuki didn't treat him as a true disciple, he wouldn't take advantage of him. So, upon receiving the signal, Sasuke readily agreed.

"After you open your eyes, I can help you deliver a message to Daxiaoxi... Itachi."

Tang Ping suddenly remembered the 'Eagle' squad, which hadn't appeared yet. Xiang Lin and Mizuki, who were part of the squad, had been recruited by Tang Ping in advance, just in case Sasuke couldn't find Daxiaoxi.

It wouldn't do to have Sasuke searching for Daxiaoxi's whereabouts all over the Shinobi World.

However, his words caused everyone's faces to turn slightly black.

'Did you just say that?'

He almost blurted out Itachi's nickname.

If it were just Sasuke, it might have been fine, but Itachi's younger brother was right there, making it a bit awkward to say such a thing.

"Here, eat up."

Tang Ping handed bowls and chopsticks to Sasuke and Chong Wu, quickly changing the subject.

His philosophy was simple: 'As long as I'm not embarrassed, the embarrassment falls on others.'

For Daxiaoxi... Itachi, his evaluation and address wouldn't change, even if he had to call him that to his face in the future.

He sought to express himself freely.

In the past, when he lacked strength, he had to be cautious, but now that he had gained power, if he couldn't even call Daxiaoxi by his nickname to his face, what was the point of gaining strength?

The scorching hot pot and tender ingredients allowed Ergouzi to understand what true cuisine was.

He had been with Orochimaru for years, eating nothing but dry rations and the occasional grilled meat. When had he ever tasted such delicacies? So, he ate with increased speed.

It could be said that Tang Ping had strong opinions about the food in the Shinobi World.

They often grilled meat, as if it were the best food.

In response, Tang Ping developed various culinary delights in the Sunblaze Nation.

Confections, hot pots, stir-fries, and other delicacies began to trend.

If these foods were only available in remote areas, those who occasionally tasted them might consider them local specialties, and they wouldn't become popular.

But when these dishes appeared in the most prosperous city, attracting countless admirers, others couldn't help but want to try them too.

After all, if the people of such a bustling city praised these dishes, and they were indeed delicious, how could they not become popular?

This is how trends are born!

Tang Ping decided to enjoy a wild hot pot outdoors.

Although he preferred spicy food, he chose a clear soup to accommodate the girls.

After the meal, Tang Ping took out a scroll and retrieved various tools.

For Tang Ping, a master of sealing techniques, sealing everyday tools and experimental equipment into a scroll for easy carrying was a basic skill.

"Not just tools, but even seasonings and ingredients, he agreed to bring them along."

"Otherwise, although there are also foods in Tian Tian's space, it's far from being able to create such a grand feast in the wild."

"Sasuke, what do you think? Is the Fire Will of Konoha correct, or is the Blazing Sun Will of the Sunlight Nation correct?"

After finishing his meal, Tang Ping suddenly spoke up, addressing Sasuke who was drinking soup.

He also wanted to know which one, in the eyes of an 'outsider', was more superior between his Sunlight Nation and Konoha.

The most suitable person to evaluate this was indeed Sasuke.

Born in Konoha and understanding the Fire Will, he then joined the Sunlight Nation and witnessed the Blazing Sun Will.

Yes, Sasuke had 'seen' the Blazing Sun Will; he wasn't brainwashed.

During his time under Orochimaru, he had been on numerous missions, naturally allowing him to witness the changes within the Sunlight Nation's sphere of influence.

"The Blazing Sun Will!"

Sasuke, the embodiment of 'justice's partner', answered without the slightest hesitation.

If not for this, why would his favor for the Sunlight Nation be increasing?

"I hope you'll remember today's thoughts!"

Tang Ping looked deeply into Sasuke's eyes, noticing the Indra Chakra within his body.

The Chakra in his body was so obedient that there wasn't even a hint of movement.

However, in the original plot, Sasuke still entered the Six Paths Level, and although it was the Six Paths Sage who activated it, it also meant that there was a possibility of changing Sasuke's personality and will.

He didn't want Sasuke to be influenced by Asura Chakra like Naruto.

"Hmph, I don't need you to say more. I won't believe in the Fire Will anymore!"

Sasuke, in his tsundere manner, let out a soft hum.

Although he didn't understand why Sasuke specifically said this, Sasuke's identity meant he wouldn't speak carelessly, so there must be a 'deeper meaning' to his words.

Compared to Sasuke's contemplation, both Hyuga Tsukuyuki and Ming Zi were observing him with complex eyes.

Tang Ping's 'prophecy' ability was no secret among the Sunlight Nation's higher-ups, and it never made mistakes. In this situation, his sudden comment to Sasuke might indicate that Sasuke would later face a choice between Konoha and the Sunlight Nation.

They were both intelligent and instantly grasped the deeper meaning.

However, Hyuga Tsukuyuki first observed Tang Ping and didn't sense any dissatisfaction or murderous intent, so she didn't plan to take action.

If Tang Ping showed any hostility, she would act immediately, even if it meant harming her disciple.

In her heart, there was only one sun—Tang Ping.

Loyalty!

It could be said that Hyuga Tsukuyuki lived solely for him. Her life had become nothing but him.

After the picnic, it also meant that there were no more tasks in the Tang Country, only enjoyment and relaxation.

Therefore, the team didn't rush back to the Hot Springs Pavilion but stayed here for a few days.

It was like they were camping.

Camping without any supplies would undoubtedly be torture.

However, with Tang Ping and Tian Tian both bringing a large number of tools, camping in the wild became a relaxing experience.

Who would bring seasonings and tableware more complete than a kitchen?

It was a perfect balance between leisure and work.

For these few days, Tang Ping spent most of his time dealing with the Death God's body.

Skin, blood, flesh, and more were not wasted at all.

After all, the other party's true form, under the influence of faith and time, had transformed into something else, making it the perfect material.

Tang Ping even successfully completed the Extraordinary Organ he was customizing for Quan.

Quan!

The other party's contributions were already enough to exchange for an Extraordinary Organ, but due to a lack of ideas and materials, it hadn't been delivered yet.

Now, it was finally completed.

With this Extraordinary Organ, Quan could at least counteract the influence of Da Xiaoxi's two spiritual artifacts and fight him effectively in battle.

After dealing with the Death God's corpse, Tang Ping threw a bottle of pale green potion to Ergouzi.

"Here!"

This was the reward for Sasuke's agreement to be a test subject.

Even if it only used the body's leftovers, the potion's effectiveness was genuinely remarkable.

It contained a terrifying amount of vitality.

As long as Ergouzi drank it, he could immediately awaken his eyes.

Glug!

Sasuke took it without hesitation and began to savor the changes in his body.
