Chapter 249: Entering Science

Fugaku, who was eating at another table, first had a frozen expression, and then his face instantly turned red.

It was obvious that the taste experienced by the shadow clone was so strong that even the original body was greatly shocked.

After taking the tea handed over by Hideki at the right time and drinking it all, Fugaku said speechlessly:

"Hideki, why did you add the Dragon Flame Pepper to your tomato scrambled eggs?"

Hideki said innocently:

"Fugaku, you are wronging me."

"This time it was to test the characteristics of the plants themselves. How could I put peppers in the dish to dominate the dish?"

"Then what about the spicy taste I tasted?"

Fugaku said suspiciously,

"Obviously, what my shadow clone sent back was a terrible spicy taste."

The people around him were also a little confused, not knowing which of the two was right.

Fortunately, Hideki spread his hands and smiled bitterly:

"I really didn't lie, but I have probably guessed the principle."

"In fact, although tomatoes and peppers seem to be very different in appearance, they have the same ancestor tens of millions of years ago, and both have genes that can produce capsaicin."

"It's just that the two have taken different evolutionary paths due to different environments."

"Peppers continue to be spicy and stimulated, while the 'spicy gene' in tomatoes gradually becomes dormant and gradually evolves into the current sweet and sour taste."

"But tomatoes still have all the genes that produce capsaicin, they are just not activated."

"And this tomato, as a special plant, is not impossible to activate the spicy gene by chance..."

There are actually spicy tomatoes in the world?

Tomatoes and peppers have the same ancestor?

Everyone around listened to Xiu Shu's detailed statement and became half-believing and half-doubting.

The shadow clones of the police officers couldn't help but stretch their chopsticks to the plate of fried eggs with tomatoes, wanting to verify it for themselves.

Of course, under the stern gaze of the original body, they could only take a small bite...

As a result, the next moment, their eyes lit up:

"It's really spicy!"

"It's amazing!"

"--It's not too spicy, it's sour and spicy, and it's quite delicious!"

"Captain Fugaku's shadow clone just disappeared because of the spiciness. I thought it was very spicy..."

The gradually crooked floor made everyone cast strange eyes on Fugaku, which made him a little embarrassed.

In order to verify the truth, Fugaku picked up a small piece of tomato and tasted it with the tip of his tongue.

Hey, it's not too spicy...

In fact, the spiciness and the original sweet and sour taste of the tomato produced a wonderful chemical reaction, forming a unique sweet and spicy taste, which is actually quite delicious.

Fugaku also reacted at this time, probably because the Dragon Flame Pepper had a huge psychological shadow on him.

So when his shadow clone tasted the spiciness in the dishes made by Hideki, he unconsciously magnified the spiciness infinitely.

In Hideki's words, it was PTSD.

But in order to maintain the little dignity left as the captain, Fugaku still muttered:

"I'm not afraid of spicy food, it's just that this spicy tomato is not to my taste."

"I see."

Everyone nodded and began to bury their heads in their rice.

Because otherwise, they were afraid that they would laugh out loud...

Hideki was overjoyed and said:

"Don't underestimate this tomato."

"In addition to providing the villagers with a new taste, the yield of tomatoes is also much higher than that of peppers."

"This means that we may be able to increase the yield of capsaicin by planting this kind of tomato."

"After that, as long as it is selected or purified, the Dragon Flame Pepper series of ninja tools can really start mass production."

Everyone understood this.

Although the children found these special plants according to Hideki's instructions.

But in fact, no one felt how special they were. It was not until the appearance of these spicy tomatoes that they really realized their specialness and value.

And Hideki, who was able to discover them from countless plants, suddenly became more mysterious.

As for Obito, his worries had turned into joy, and he felt that the final reward was already in his pocket.

However, Asuma was a little unconvinced when he saw this, and he quickly stood up and walked to Hideki and asked:

"Teacher, didn't I also find a large piece of ginger with a strange shape?"

"Does it have any special effects?"

Hideki said with a strange expression:

"Yes, it does..."

"It's just that its characteristics... only its appearance and texture are very similar to various meats..."

"I feel that if this thing becomes popular, Asuma, you may be cursed every day."

Asuma's little brain turned several circles before he understood what Teacher Hideki meant, and his little face suddenly wrinkled.

It was just like accidentally biting ginger disguised as meat...

...

Two days later, a small episode also happened during this training.

It turned out that although Fugaku had instructed, some of the police officers who were invited to help still leaked some details of this collection and training.

As a result, all kinds of strange plants hidden in the Konoha Forest suddenly became the daily talk of the villagers.

Some people were even blinded by greed and ran to the dangerous Konoha Forest to play treasure hunting games, but they basically got into trouble...

Although Fugaku immediately expelled those bad apples from the team, he still felt very sorry for Hideki.

Hideki didn't react much, after all, this was originally in his plan, just a little ahead of time.

Unlike ordinary villagers, the ninjas are more concerned about the information revealed in the rumors.

The magical Tom radar, the perspective function of the training clothes, and the leap in the children's strength have all shocked them.

In particular, the information that the children have at least mastered the C-level instant body technique still makes them unbelievable.

You know, many people used to laugh at the ridiculous training clothes and the weird training methods of the Kame-sen-ryu.

How come everything suddenly reversed?

In comparison, the Crane-sen-ryu, which is still practicing "Tai Chi" step by step, feels a bit boring.

If it weren't for the experimental training now, it is estimated that many students of the Crane-sen-ryu would have been unable to resist changing schools...

Of course, the Hyuga clan is also a little anxious about this.

"Hizashi, what do you think?"

In the courtyard of the Hyuga clan patriarch's mansion, Hiashi had just finished sparring with Hizashi. He wiped his sweat with a towel and said,

"I didn't expect Kimura Hideki to be so generous and actually equip the children with such magical training clothes."

"Especially that perspective function, it's obviously aimed at our Hyuga clan."

Hiashi sighed and said,

"That function should use the principle of the perception array. It was originally intended to sense the children's internal conditions and assist in practicing breathing techniques."

"So if we had cooperated with Kimura Hideki at the beginning, maybe he wouldn't have made such training clothes..."

Hiashi frowned and said,

"What's the point of you saying this now?"

"The question is how to deal with it."

"I believe that the final effect of our Tsurusen-ryu's teaching method will not be inferior to Kamesen-ryu."

"Even in the subsequent competition, I don't think we will lose."

"But Kamesen-ryu's quick-learning effect will probably attract the interest of many children."

"I don't know how long it will take to complete the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu in this way..."

Hiashi could only sigh in his heart.

Because he knew that Hiashi had an idea, but he didn't want to say it because it was a bit mean.

And of course, this job can only be entrusted to him...

"There are ways..."

Hiashi said expressionlessly,

"Kimura Hideki actually has a big weakness."

"That is, he is not a jonin yet..."

"Then Might Dai is said to be the head of Kamesen-ryu, but he is just a genin, not worth mentioning."

"The one who truly represents Kamesen-ryu is Kimura Hideki himself."

"So if he fails to be promoted in the next jonin assessment, Kamesen-ryu is destined to be inferior to us for a long time..."

"And to achieve this, it is really easy for us, the Hyuga clan..."
