The sky brightens, and I found my eyes slowly sliding open. After last night, and seeing the girls in that way, God, Budha or the devil likes fucking with me. But at least it made my decision on going on hunt easier even if the world I originate from is frozen (and when I get back, it will only be the next morning.)

The hunt gave me three months to come to terms with what happened and maybe learn something to beg for forgiveness…yes, yes, forgiveness for never being able to erase what I saw. My cheeks went rosy and flush as the images of all of the beautiful things I had seen replayed in a loop. I sat up and remembered the information I received when I arrived, and it seemed I was in a world of shinobi. The identity my system gave me was a son of a merchant who does business with the hidden villages in the land. I was only taking this journey as my father had things to do where the business originated from, and this was the first time I had come on my own with the convoy; in fact, the last time was when I was a child.

There were even rumors that I knew some martial skills and had strange abilities, which had led to some fights when some female shinobis made eyes at me, causing their male comrades to become jealous and want to wreck my face. But the result ended with them being left bloodied and broken, and it wasn't my guards' doing.

Suddenly, I heard a knocking at the door followed by two young women entering. They were my maids, and from the memories that I inherited, I only like to tease them so, for now, I will not eat them. As I walked past them, I smacked their butts and said;" naughty little ones entering without your young master's permission, I'm going have to punish you." The two women blushed and squirmed as they rubbed their butts. "I know you'll make your own meals and everyone else will get your share of my cooking."

In unison, the girls yelled, "No…young master is being too mean." I turned to see the two maids about to be in tears.

"You know I was kidding, but you know how lucky you both are; I mean, how many people have their boss make all three meals for them."

The girls blushed and acted sheepishly, and the youngest Little Ye said, "If it is so difficult, I'm willing to compensate with my body." I could see why my alter hasn't done anything to them; it is fun to tease," Little Ye, you should be careful with your words, or this wolf will devour your bones and all, so there be no tears to soothe you. I then went down the stairs and headed to the kitchen to begin the day. I am happy everyone in convoy like my cooking; it only ensures my survival from bandits or rogue ninjas."

After a few moments, like it was second nature, I began taking the items from their spot where the previous me had placed them; I used my powers as the people among me already knew of them, and they seemed to enjoy the show. Of course, this wasn't the first time the chef mage had appeared; it was only this world's first.

I could see the look of marvel on the their face as I plated the finished food and passed it out to everyone; as people began eating, I heard Little Ye ask, "Young master, why don't you ask your Uncle Sarutobi to teach you about chakra and maybe shinobi arts."

This caused me to pause before I said, "because Ye if Uncle did I break the trust with the other villages and it would harm the family business so at most I learn from the guards of the convoy who the family hires or from books and scrolls I buy in the village and allow the anubi check so they can record what was in them."

Little ye nodded as she began to understand and then she began to eat. "I know you think being stuck here for three months will be a waste if I don't try to improve, but I already have so much power. If I were to learn more, the heavens might revolt and destroy my family… But don't worry, I did make an arrangement with a friend of my father to work in his noodle shop, and maybe after, I'll be able to cook those types of dishes for everyone." The group of maid's heads snapped up at hearing this. Little Ye said, "young master is going to work when your father asked you to rest here."

I smiled. "It's not work when it's something you enjoy doing and I always like learning new dishes." After that, we all ate, and I left the maids clean as I went to get ready to meet my father's friend; back in the room, I took my time using magic to cleanse my body and then got dressed in a basic set of clothing nothing that screamed that I was an heir to a merchant family. After I got dressed and I went to leave, but as I did, I said when I felt people getting up to follow, "no…I am not a child, and unlike the young lords and ladies I've grown up with, I rarely need henchmen as I am not going grab country beauties nor plan to attack a hero." The guards blushed, and the maid giggled as I often said many different things when I wanted to be allowed to do things independently.

Of course, twenty minutes after I left, the head maid scent the guards to follow one, she wanted to know where I was working, and two, she wanted to ensure my safety; Of course, I had no idea, but I picked up items here and there as I walked through the street as I walked to 'Ichiraku' as I got there I found a young blonde boy slurping down his seventh bowl of ramen and I had to smile but my attention return to the old man and said, "hey uncle; I'm broth.."

The old looked at me and his old face bloom into, and he said, "Your old Chi boy…naaaw I think ."

I smirked and said, "I've said so too in the past, but the old man won't budge; he says I'm his son….So uncle, can I work here and try to learn… Chi wants me her for three months, probably shacking up with mom."

Old Ichiraku laughed. "Probably and sure." I smiled and made my way behind the counter, and the old man let me watch at first and try to learn, and I did; even if I didn't know the prep work, I knew how it was put together and how to plate it, and in time I would learn how to make the soup broth and the noodles, and eventually the old man let me do some order and as the young man swallowed his twelfth bowl two people a young woman with pink hair and a young man with crimson eyes came to retrieve him saying they been waiting and it was time to go to the land of water. I continued to cook, and I even learned some of my uncle's recipes for side dishes and helped him when there was a rush; it even got to the point where I had to help put thing together as we were running low on things this went on until a young woman I later learn was 'Anko Mitarashi' she was the last disciple of a shinobi that had brought harm to the village and many gave her the cold shoulder. I understood and I was about to collect some bowl so uncle daughter could wash them but my hand brushed across Anko's hand.

This broke her out of her stun moment as she been stare at me; she than coughed and blushed this caused uncle and his daughter to have a strange look as it was well known Anko was very shy and even rare at here as they didn't serve sweet bean soup and dango unless it asked for a few days prior as other shops also serve it.

"Teuchi-Sama one Miso Pork please." Teuchi began outing the order together, and I found myself watching her as I did, Teuchi's daughter jabbed me in the back and said, "Brat, my father is letting you learn how to cook, not flirt with girls." I blushed and said, "Ayame, I know that, but she's cute." This was followed by pain as I felt my left side be pinched, and this made Teuchi and Anko look, followed by Ayame saying, "Don't mind us. Marcus just told me how Anko is cute." As I heard her say this, it was like it was being repeated on a loop, and my face was dyed red, especially as I saw Anko blush.
