Chapter 454 Surprise From the Country of Grass
The toad headquarters that has had a huge influence on the ninja world since ancient times: Mt. Myoboku.
It is said that the toad sitting on the top seat is an old toad that is over thousands of years old. It often has a peaceful smile, but the huge chakra contained in its body can exert the ability to foresee the future.
In order to obtain this power, there are countless politicians who challenge this mysterious mountain.
The only time the Great Toad Sage (named Toadmaru) saw his future was something that affected the survival of the ninja world. 100 years ago, he predicted that Jiraiya would come up the mountain and he would teach Jiraiya the power of the toad.
It can be seen from the above record that Myoboku Mountain is located in a little-known area of the ninja world, so that it can be protected from the interference of mortals.
Through the information left by Jiraiya in the book, Yang Ming and his team worked hard and left the Country of Fire within a few days and arrived at the Country of Grass.
It is worth mentioning that because Naruto was worried about Jiraiya's safety, he had to follow the team even if he died.
The geographical characteristics of each country in the ninja world are very peculiar. Just like its name, the Country of Grass has a general landform, but it has a prairie that is rare in other countries.
The sky is like a dome, covering the four fields. The sky is clear, the fields are vast, and the grass is blown by the wind, and cattle and sheep can be seen low.
There is also a thin river on the green grassland, exposed in the sun, and looking from a distance, it looks like a shining silver necklace.
Looking from a distance, there are white clouds squirming on the grassland. It turns out that these are the sheep in the pasture. Each one is white, fat and cute, making the grassland more vibrant.
Yang Ming and his party stood on the vast grassland. They felt that the world was so vast, and they suddenly became filled with pride. They wished they could ride a powerful horse and run on the grassland to their heart's content.
However, seeing that it was getting late, Yang Ming and his party were also tired, so they walked towards the pasture ahead.
The owner of the ranch is a typical man from the Country of Grass. He is nearly two meters tall, with a strong build and well-developed muscles. His skin is dark because he is often exposed to the sun.
He saw that Yang Ming and his group were dressed in strange clothes, and many of them were wearing Konoha Village forehead protectors, so he didn't know that they were ninjas.
In this ninja world, to ordinary people, ninjas are omnipotent beings who can fly in the sky and escape from the earth.
Not to mention, Yang Ming and his group were not short of money, so they were particularly generous in order to avoid sleeping on the streets.
Naturally, the ranch owner had a bright smile on his face and enthusiastically invited Yang Ming and his party to stay here.
From the ranch owner's mouth, Yang Ming and his party learned that his name was Agusu.
Agusu enthusiastically stopped Yang Ming's shoulders, "Guests from Konoha Village, I will be your host today, and I will definitely let you feel the enthusiasm of the people of the Country of Grass!"
"Thank you for your warm hospitality." Yang Ming said politely.
Under Agusu's instructions, everyone in the ranch put down their work and started working in a coordinated manner.
Agusu led Yang Ming and his party into the tent. The interior was luxuriously paved, showing that the ranch owner had a good income.
Agusu spoke with a thick accent and took out a leather bag made of cowhide, with a heroic smile on his face.
"Dear guests, come and try our own kumiss!"
As he spoke, he took out earthen jars and poured milky white kumiss into them.
The host is so enthusiastic, how can I refuse as a guest?
Yang Ming took the earthen pot, brought it to his nose and smelled it. In addition to the buttery smell, there was also a faint fishy smell that hit his nostrils.
It seems that the ranch owner did not do a good job in removing the fishy smell from the mare's milk, which led to this situation.
However, seeing how enthusiastic the owner was, Yang Ming had no choice but to pinch his nose and drink it.
When the milky white kumiss entered his stomach, Yang Ming felt a burning taste from the tip of his tongue to his stomach.
The most peculiar thing is that the kumis has a sour taste at first, and then it is as strong as fire. When the heat is over, it has a mellow milky sweetness. When it enters the stomach, it makes the whole stomach warm and comfortable.
Sour, cracking, sweet and warm are the biggest characteristics of this kumiss.
The only fly in the ointment is that there is a faint fishy smell in it. For those who are not used to drinking it, no matter how many advantages it has in front of it, it will be completely wiped out by this shortcoming.
It can be seen that except for Yang Ming's expression, Naruto's whole face turned purple after drinking the kumis, which must be because he was not used to it.
Agusu didn't seem to notice the strange expressions on everyone's faces. He clapped a few times and the servants outside walked in.
Four servants, each carrying a large plate of roasted lamb, came in and placed it in the center of the room.
I saw that the whole roasted lamb was roasted until the skin was browned, emitting smoke, and the aroma of barbecue mixed with the smell of spices gradually filled the air.
"It looks delicious!" Naruto's eyes almost popped out of his head.
"Hahaha!" Seeing that the guests from Konoha Village liked it so much, Agusu, as the owner of the ranch, laughed boldly as if he was honored.
Agusu waved his hand like a bear and said boldly: "Go and give this young man a taste of our carefully prepared roasted leg of lamb!"
The owner of the ranch has given up, but the servants below don’t know what to do?
One person brought the plate on Naruto's table, another held down the roasted whole lamb, another took out a machete and cut off the roasted lamb legs, and the last person took out a delicate knife and cut the roasted lamb legs into thin slices. Small pieces were placed on the plate, and soon they were stacked as high as a hill.
The servant brought the plate to Naruto's table and added several small bowls filled with various seasonings.
Naruto came closer and smelled the tempting roasting aroma, and his mouth almost watered.
Like Choji, Naruto's favorite food is barbecue.
However, Naruto soon discovered that there were some differences between this roasted whole lamb and the usual barbecue.
The cut mutton slices are very thin, and you can see beautiful patterns from the cross section. The most important thing is that the meat inside is not as burnt as the outside, but looks very tender, which makes people more appetizing.
Since he didn't have chopsticks, Naruto had to grab a handful of meat slices with his hands, dip them in the tomato sauce, and add a little cumin powder and black pepper.
When the hot mutton slices entered his mouth, Naruto was surprised to find that the mutton had no smell at all. Apart from the fact that the sheepskin was a little crispy, the mutton was particularly delicious and tender!
The aroma of black pepper and cumin powder blew a fragrant wind in his tongue, giving Naruto an illusion that even his breath was vaguely scented.
Seeing Naruto gobbling up his food, Agusu laughed boldly, "Come on, come on, everyone, eat more, no need to be polite to me!"
With Naruto in front of him, others also joined in. A roasted whole lamb was neither too much nor too little, but under the appetites of many gluttonous people present, soon there was only a pile of bones left.
