5 Chap.5 Welcome to the clan

Tony was overjoyed when he regained consciousness and the System explained what had happened. Mrs. Yamanaka made it so that she will not remember what happened, but the System had a record of everything and could not be affected. Thanks to the rapid response capacity and the last-minute plan, he was able to clear up any doubts about its origin.

The part he didn't expect was that the Akimichi clan was the one who took the initiative to adopt him, without him even asking for it. And when asked the reason for the attack, he gave a perfect answer.

"Maybe it's because of my family's secret cooking technique?"

Other clans would have scoffed at such words, but not the Akimichi clan. They politely asked him to cook something and Tony made them a simple salad with some of his own ingredients. Even the Akimichi family was surprised at the simplicity of the dish. They expected a tremendously elaborate or precise dish. Or at least something more mysterious.

Since when does a salad require technique? It is just cleaning and cutting some vegetables and then depositing them in a bowl, there is nothing secret about that.

But after the first bite, no one spoke. They were too busy stuffing their mouths and chewing!

Speak?

Yes I'm talking, I'm not eating salad!

And that wasn't even what surprised them the most...

The boy before them turned out to have more appetite than everyone present together!

Each clansman in the room ate twelve bowls of salad, but the boy ate thirty by himself. It was not a joke!

They were all ninjas and they could feel the change in their bodies, it was as if their chakra felt stimulated, not to mention their resistance. They exchanged glances with those who shared the same thought.

Looks like that really was the reason for the attack!

But at the same time that everyone believed that, a great sadness invades them. Had they known that a family with such abilities was nearby, their alliance of three clans would perhaps have increased to four. Even if that hadn't been the case, the Akimichi clan would have gained a like-minded ally with great compatibility.

And so, at the end of the day, Tony Akimichi was born. Not only that, he was provided with a status in the clan similar to a cousin of the main bloodline.

The adoption of him caused surprise and drew the attention of many clans.

One of the noble clans in the village adopted a child from outside?!

Everyone wanted to know the reason for it.

The first clans to be alerted were naturally the Nara clan, the Yamanaka clan, and even the Inuzuka clan.

When both of Akimichi's allied clans asked the reason, the only answer they got was an invitation to the Akimichi clan for dinner. After dinner and exchanging glances, everyone understood the reason and why the Akimichi clan gave so much importance to the child. Even the descendants of the clans did double take of the child.

Choji was excited about the new "cousin" and her delicious food, Shikamaru began to see Tony's food dishes in the clouds and Ino was elated to discover that Tony's food did not make her fat despite how tasty it was. she was hers.

As for the Inuzuka clan, her response was that had they known that he could be adopted, her clan would not have hesitated to do so. That, along with an order for sausages that left the Akimichi clan baffled. Tony had to go out and explain the situation and as a result, he had to send more sausages to the Inuzuka clan as a gift, as well as prepare some for the Akimichi clan under the guise of supervising their quality.

He spent several days acclimating to his new clan and then the topic he was waiting for came up, the ninja academy. They asked him if he was interested in attending and he stated that he wanted to go so that he would have the strength to protect himself. He didn't mention anything like revenge since it could backfire and from the clan's expressions, it seems he did the right thing.

[Ding! The host has embarked on the path to become stronger]

[New quest: The road to the force is paved with food!]

[Task: Complete the following exercise routine daily for two months.]

-100 push-ups

-100 sit-ups

-100 air squats

-10km run

[Reward: Curry of Life Recipe + ???]

"My first mission!" Tony clapped. "Let's see… Wait, where have I seen this before." System, isn't this Saitama's routine? Does it really work?

[The System only provides beneficial targets for the host.]

-I will do it. In this world, I will need to be in shape or else who knows what could happen to me. A little exercise won't hurt.

…A routine later…

-I'm dying! Tony complained. "Okay, in my previous life I didn't exercise much, but I wasn't in such bad shape." This body is as if it had never been exercised. I need to eat something." He entered the kitchen, to which he had been given full access, and began to eat.

Sure, he could have taken a stone and turned it into a huge strawberry. But ever since he became known about adopting him, he found out by accident that there was always an ANBU watching. At least, he hoped he was just an ANBU, he didn't remember what the difference was between the ANBU and ROOT masks.

It did not seem normal to him, so he informed Choza of the matter and he calmed him down saying that it was just a usual check due to the situation. Tony didn't find it unusual to send what he assumed to be at least one Chunin, to watch over a child under the age of ten.

It will be that common sense varies from world to world.

However, he had to endure the masked man's harassment until he formally joined the ninja academy. They gave him a written test to check his level and Tony was surprised at the low level required, he almost thought it was blatant favoritism. I mean, apart from a bunch of nonsense about the Will of Fire that took up most of it, the rest consisted of basic logic and math questions that barely went beyond addition and subtraction.

Now I could understand why the graduates had such a low level. Even some subjects like chemistry were only taught during the last year. The education system sucked because it was geared more towards brainwashing the new generation than making them useful and skilled. He could almost see the Third Hokage's name on the papers of whoever designed this teaching method.

After the results came out, he was placed in the same classroom as Choji, Shikamaru, Ino, and company. Everything was fine, but it seemed his response to the Will of Fire was not up to par. In other words:

—You're intelligent and capable, but since I don't know if you're impressionable, you have to be brainwashed.

Something like that. Clear manipulation of my results aside, I was able to complete the quest and obtain the recipe for the Curry of Life, which I can now prepare at any time thanks to my skill. Not only that, but apparently the reward of ??? It was just what she expected.
