"So, you called me here just to show me this thing? what even is this?"
Sakuya, who had white hair and dull eyes, squatted in front of the table, staring at the white cup in front of him with Tetsuya.
There is a lid on the cup.
"What do you know? Let me tell you, this is definitely the greatest invention since the founding of Konoha."
"stop brag. The greatest invention is this measly cup? Don't mess around when you got nothing to show off ."
Sakuye curled his lips, he didn't believe this would be the greatest invention.
"What, you don't believe it? The magic is not the cup, but what's inside the cup. I'll demonstrate it to you right now."
As Tetsuya opened the lid of the cup, Sakuya stepped forward to take a look.
He discovered that there was actually a piece of flour cake inside. Isn't it just a piece of flour cake? What's so special about it?
Then, under Sakuya's provoking gaze, Tetsuya poured the hot water he had prepared in advance into the cup and then closed the lid again.
Sakuya just stared at Tetsuya, he wanted to see what kind of crack this guy was smoking.
After a while he smelled a familiar fragrance.
"This is it! This is the smell of signature tonkotsu ramen!"
"Hey, be patient, just wait for it!"
When the time was up, Tetsuya opened the lid, stirred the cup noodles with chopsticks, and then handed the noodles in front of Sakuya.
"Tadaaa! Chiba brand instant cup noodles."
"This is! Ramen?"
Sakuya looked at the ramen in the cup with some surprise.
The flour cake in the cup turned into ramen!
"Try it quickly and see how it tastes? You won't be charged for this cup."
At Tetsuya's urging, Sakuya picked up the chopsticks and tasted it.
The first bite felt pretty good, as if it wasn't as much as what I usually eat in the store.
But after taking a few more bites, he found that something was still a little off.
The portion of cup noodles is not that big, it is about the same size as a medium bowl of ramen in the store, but the taste is slightly lacklustre.
But it's not that much different. The most important thing is that this thing is convenient.
Soak it in boiling water and wait for a while before eating.
With this cup, it is convenient to carry.
Just imagine, when you perform missions outside in the future, you won't have to chew dry compressed food or tasteless military ration pills.
"How was it? How did it taste."
"The taste is okay, but it's still a bit inferior to the noodles in the store."
"Oh, that's inevitable. Ramen has to be hot and delicious just out of the pot."
Tetsuya smiled and said again.
"But, this instant cup noodles is all about convenience.
It can be eaten as soon as you brew it with hot water.
It's push comes to shove, you can eat the noodles dry without hot water, but the taste will definitely be worse if you eat them dry. .
With this, you will be able to eat delicious ramen when you are doing tasks outside."
Sakuya smiled.
"I didn't expect that when I casually mentioned it, you actually invented ramen that can be eaten outside. It's really hard for you."
"Oh, I didn't do it just for you. I just want to make more money."
As he spoke, Tetsuya laughed. He was not lying at all. The purpose of doing everything from the beginning was to make money.
"Yes, your idea can indeed make money. I think there will be many ninjas who will be happy to bring a cup of noodles when they go out on missions."
"Yeah, I think so. I called you here today because I want to hear your feelings and see if there is anything that needs improvement. If there are no problems, I plan to start mass production."
Hearing Tetsuya's words, Sakuya also started to think seriously.
"I don't think there's a big problem. If I have to nitpick, is there only one flavor? If you only eat this one flavor, you'll probably get bored easily."
"There is no other way for this at the moment. I have only developed this classic flavor so far, but there will definitely be more new flavors in the future."
"Then I have no problem."
"Okay, then I will prepare for mass production. When the first batch of products is released, I will have to trouble you to help me promote it."
"no problem."
With Sakuya's approval, Tetsuya officially started the production of cup noodles.
What, are you asking him where the cup noodle production tools came from? Of course they were extracted by the dog system.
This guy was using cup noodle making techniques as bait while constantly increasing essential machinery, finally drained his wallet.
Now it's time to make money and recoup his investments.
He used Ninjutsu to dig out a factory underneath the ramen shop, and placed all the machines for making cup noodles underneath.
The machine produced by the Dog System can directly seal its own Chakra and use it as an energy source in the machine.
The machine started and a steady stream of cup noodles was produced.
Chiba Cup Noodles is officially on sale.
Chiba Ramen is extremely popular among the ninjas of Konoha. Coupled with Hatake Sakuya's help in promoting , the first batch of cup noodles was sold out immediately.
Not only did ninjas came to buy, many interested Konoha villagers also came to join in the fun. After all, it was the first time cup noodles were invented, and Tetsuya's prices was reasonable.
"Boss Chiba, Lord Jiraiya is here! Do you still have your cup noodles?"
After a day of hard training, Jiraiya came running over with a roar.
"Hello Jiraiya. I'm sorry, you came too late. They were already sold out at noon."
"Ah! It's sold out!"
Jiraiya looked dejected. He originally heard that the Chiba boss had produced a ramen that could be eaten by brewing it with hot water. He came back in a hurry after finishing his training.
After all, he was practicing at Mount Myōboku and had only bugs to eat every day, which made Jiraiya very uncomfortable.
He originally thought that he could buy more cup noodles to eat at Mount Myōboku. Avoiding all upcoming days he had to swallow bugs for meals.
I didn't expect that I was too late. Was I destined to eat those disgusting bugs?
"Boss, can you tell me how you make those cup noodles?"
"Idiot Jiraiya! How can you just pry into other people's business secrets!"
Another familiar voice sounded. Tsunade walked into the store and smacked Jiraiya in the head.
"Tsunade, why did you hit me?"
"Because you're stupid."
"Don't say that about Jiraiya. After all, he has always been lacking in brains since school."
Orochimaru followed Tsunade into the shop.
"Orochimaru and Tsunade are here too. Are you here to buy cup noodles too?"
Orochimaru shook his head.
"No, I'm here to eat ramen."
"I'm here to eat ramen too. I'm going to pack a portion for my second grandfather to try. My second grandfather said before that he wanted to try your ramen, but he is too busy with work and can't afford to waste time by visiting."
"Ah, Mr. Second Generation wants to eat the ramen I made. It's an honor. Just wait a moment, I'll make it promptly."
