Chap.58 Apple cut out of basket

To the surprise of many, Danzo managed to persist through three consecutive days of mental assault by twenty simultaneous people before they could access his mind and what they found was so terrible that some of the Yamanaka clansmen who saw it ended up vomiting. .

Danzo's atrocities were too much for them.

But much to his dismay, the orders were to get as much information out as possible and record it to be sent to the Hokage's office. So they rolled up their sleeves and they all made an appointment with a psychologist so that when they finished, they wouldn't have nightmares.

It was several days of rotating shifts as they continuously extracted all the information and by the time they were done, Danzo had no light in his eyes, well, the only eye he had left and he was staring into nothing while he drooled.

His mind was left in a vegetative state by the aggressive extraction.

Given the overwhelming amount of evidence, Danzo was executed and the Shimura clan lost its greatest power figure. Councilors Homura Mitokado and Koharu Utatane were forcibly removed after their collaboration with Danzo as well as their corruption were revealed and fined, depriving them of their lifetime bribes and more.

-Finally! —Tsunade and Tony exclaimed at the same time, to the grace of the others.

Tony stopped Tsunade from drinking a single drop of alcohol these days and Tsunade never expected the chunin to be able to block her effectively for so long.

Even Shizune stood her ground and confronted his master, giving away all of his secret hideouts where she kept the good liquor!

But now that Danzo was out of the equation, Tsunade was able to drink to vent his emotions and Tony completed the System mission.

[The host has successfully completed the mission!]

[The rewards are being delivered.]

[Reward: Pearl Jam (Jojo)]

[Description: Tonio Trussardi's Stand that possesses the skill "Healing Through Ingestion"! Pearl Jam can cure ailments depending on the dishes prepared. Incurable diseases will no longer be as long as good ingredients are involved. The process is somewhat violent, but the client's body will return to normal when it has finished its effect with the ailment fully healed. The Stand has gone through an adaptation to be able to use the full power of it in the host world.]

[Additional fact: This Stand was born out of a desire to perfect the culinary arts and no arrow was involved. As it should be!]

[Reminder: The host can decide whether or not to activate the Stand every time he cooks in person. The Stand will not activate if there is no culinary process involved.]

"System, do you mean that if I just use the power of my devil fruit, I won't be able to use it?

[Correct. The System suggests using the power of the fruit to produce the necessary ingredients for recipes where the host wants to activate Pearl Jam. This will ensure quality and better effects than if the host used common ingredients.]

"I see..." Tony thought deeply.

He wasn't a fan of Jojo himself, but a good friend of his explained several seasons to him in great detail. He does not remember most of them, but this Stand caught his attention then because it is one of the few that is not used in combat and as the System pointed out, it was not born as a result of the arrow either. If his memory serves you correctly, Tonio even prepared a dish using a rare type of abalone as the main ingredient to cure his lover Virginia's cancer.

And he did it.

In other words, the greater the ailment, the higher quality the ingredients must be.

-One second! System, it's possible… —Tony told him about the absurd idea that suddenly occurred to him— Is it viable?

[Calculated…]

[Pretending…]

[In response to the host's question, in fact, there is an 87.48% chance of success. However, only a few dishes that the host knows and is able to prepare meet the nutritional requirements necessary to reach the goal.]

"As long as there's a chance, that's enough," Tony smiled.

—Tony, more dragées of all flavors! Tsunade yelled.

-I'm going!

…A week later…

"Is it just me, or do you also think that Tony has been acting strange these days?" —Anko asked when she came to visit.

"Actually, it's kind of suspicious," Tayuya commented. She had started living with Karin and Tony in the same house and even had her own room. But during this period of time, the number of times she saw Tony could be counted on the fingers of one hand— What do you know, redhead? —Karin was the closest to Tony on the team, if anyone knows what was going on, it was her.

"I don't know." Karin looked away unnaturally. She actually knew exactly that she was making her older brother, but she had serious instructions not to reveal anything to Tayuya and Anko, since it was related to them and it should be a surprise.

The girl's unnaturalness did not go unnoticed in the least, so Anko and Tayuya exchanged glances, communicating silently.

"It sounds like you know something and don't want to share it."

"That means we'll have to resort to unorthodox interrogation methods."

"And we won't stop until we get to the bottom of it."

Karin stared at them with wide eyes as they approached her with a large feather, a thick rope, and various objects of dubious provenance. Fortunately for her, a heavenly voice rescued her from the clutches of demons.

"What are you doing?" Tony asked as he entered the living room.

-Any! The rope and everything else disappeared as if by magic as they turned to give him a look of complete and utter innocence.

—Sure… —Tony was sure he was missing something, especially seeing how Karin looked at him as if she had just saved his life— Anyway, tonight I hope you can come to dinner Anko-sensei. I'm going to prepare a new recipe and I need tasters.

-I'll be there! —Anko raised her hand enthusiastically while with the other she not very discreetly wiped the saliva from her lips. No one in the village would refuse a meal made by Tony himself at this point, especially after the success of the banquet in the Land of Rice was made known and people discovered that even the Hokage often goes to Tony's house to eat. .

Well, she is Karin's teacher.

What would Tony do otherwise?

Karin sighed in relief understanding that she wouldn't need to keep the secret for too long and Tayuya pouted as she took Karin and dragged her towards her room.

-Where are you going? Tony asked, as speechless as Karin herself.

Is no one noticing that I'm being kidnapped from my own home?

"Girl talk!" Tayuya muttered, an excuse he found to be very useful in keeping Tony in line. And it's not really like he's lying either...

Anko's expression darkened when she heard that and clenched her teeth.

And why wasn't she being dragged along as well?

Wasn't she a woman? Wasn't she a reliable source of information?

Anko turned around and left the house fuming from her head.

"What the hell just happened?" Tony wondered as he was suddenly alone in the living room.
