"Uhh…"
"Lord Madara, you can rest assured."
"If there's any chance of information leaking, I'll sever the connection to my clone immediately."
Seeing the questioning look in Madara's eyes, White Zetsu quickly explained.
What he did not know was that Yagami, as a transmigrator, had known about their existence from the very beginning.
And just now, Yagami had invaded the memories of White Zetsu's clone and discovered the place where Madara had originally been hiding.
"If that's the case, then what exactly is so bad?"
Madara let out a faint breath and shook his head, somewhat speechless.
As long as he himself had not been exposed, he did not care much about anything else.
"Mm?"
"Isn't my clone being exposed already a major problem?"
Hearing Madara's words, White Zetsu tilted his head in confusion.
Then he looked as if he had been deeply hurt.
"It's not a small matter."
"But how was your clone exposed?"
Black Zetsu looked at White Zetsu suspiciously.
After all, there were only the three of them now. All of their intelligence had to rely on White Zetsu's clones.
If White Zetsu's clones were restricted, it would be a huge blow to their intelligence network going forward.
"How would I know that?"
"Mine is a spore clone, not the Shadow Clone Jutsu."
"I have no idea what happened to the clone at that moment."
White Zetsu spread his hands helplessly at Black Zetsu.
His clone was not made from chakra like an ordinary shadow clone. It was a spore separated from his main body.
Because of that, when the clone died, its memories would not automatically return to him like the Shadow Clone Jutsu.
"So you don't even know how you were exposed?"
Black Zetsu muttered quietly, and his voice gradually sank.
Knowing nothing was the most troublesome situation.
"It's not completely impossible to find out…"
"As long as I can find the body of my clone, I can reabsorb it and obtain its individual memories."
When he said this, White Zetsu became proud again.
In an instant, his usual frivolous attitude returned.
"If that's the case, then go check it immediately. Find out what happened."
Hearing White Zetsu's words, Uchiha Madara spoke calmly.
He did not like this feeling.
The feeling that something had slipped outside his control.
"Understood, Lord Madara. I'll go investigate."
After responding to Madara, White Zetsu turned and leapt out of the cave.
"Wait."
"You don't need to come back here afterward. Go straight to the battlefield between Kirigakure and Konoha."
"We'll be heading there as well."
Madara's voice came from behind him.
At this point, the plan was about to reach its next stage.
So Madara also intended to personally go to the front line and observe the situation.
"I understand, Lord Madara."
White Zetsu turned back, waved once, and disappeared outside the cave.
On the other side.
After failing to find Uchiha Madara and the others, Yagami spent a few minutes flying back to Konoha's position.
When he descended from the sky, all the Konoha shinobi could not help looking at him with envy.
After all, flying was one of those things almost everyone had dreamed of at least once.
Yagami's strength and achievements had already placed him far beyond their reach.
And now, he had shown another ability that everyone wished they had.
How could they not be envious?
Not to mention them, even Kushina stared at Yagami with bright eyes.
Although she could also fly, it was only with the help of an external tool like the bamboo-copter.
Flying directly like Yagami was what truly felt like flying.
"Where did you go?"
Seeing Yagami land, Kushina asked with suspicion.
The jōnin commanders also looked at him curiously.
After ordering the team to disband, Yagami had flown away without saying a word, leaving everyone confused.
So after sealing White Zetsu's body, none of them had actually dispersed yet.
"I sensed something strange over there, so I went to check it out."
"But it looks like I was overthinking it. There was nothing there."
Yagami smiled casually and brushed it off.
Of course, he could not tell everyone that he had gone to look for Uchiha Madara.
After all, for most of them, the name Uchiha Madara had long since become something buried in the dust of history.
And the secrets involved were not things they could know for the time being, so Yagami naturally concealed it.
Hearing his explanation, everyone showed looks of understanding.
No one doubted his words.
They were comrades. If there really was something important, they believed Yagami would not hide it from them.
"Right, Senior Dahe."
"What ingredients did the logistics team prepare today?"
Just as Yagami was about to wave everyone away, he suddenly asked.
It was almost noon, and the army would soon begin eating.
So he wanted to cook personally and improve the meal for himself and Kushina.
After all, with his God of Cookery-level skills, eating the army's large-pot meals every day felt a little dull.
If he had to describe it in one sentence…
It was a failure among failures.
"Today's ingredients? They're actually pretty good."
"The support team from the village brought a lot of fresh chicken, duck, and fish. The army should be able to eat well today."
Hearing Yagami's question, Dahe answered with a smile.
He was the jōnin in charge of logistics, so he knew the food supplies better than anyone else.
"There are fresh ingredients?"
Yagami's eyes lit up at once.
"Then let's go. I'm making something for myself today."
As he spoke, Yagami placed a hand on Dahe's shoulder and dragged him toward the logistics department.
Dahe was immediately flattered by how casually and kindly Yagami treated him.
"Lord Yagami is going to cook for himself?"
"Does that mean Lord Yagami's cooking is even better than the logistics team's?"
Watching the two leave, Chōza Akimichi looked curious.
The other Konoha jōnin had almost the same expression.
The logistics team's cooking was already considered decent since they were responsible for feeding the army.
But Yagami still wanted to improve the food himself.
That made them wonder.
Was he really that dissatisfied with the logistics team's meals?
"Of course!"
"Yagami's cooking is definitely the best in Konoha!"
Hearing Chōza's words, Kushina raised her head proudly.
Then she unconsciously swallowed and hurried after Yagami.
She was the only one who had tasted Yagami's cooking before, so she was also the only one who knew just how terrifying his cooking skills were.
"What? The best cooking in Konoha?"
"I don't believe it. I'm going to see for myself."
Hearing Kushina's words, Chōza Akimichi immediately exclaimed.
His eyes rolled around on his round face a few times before he quickly ran toward the logistics department.
"Ahem… I don't believe it either."
Shikaku Nara coughed lightly, then followed after him.
"Do you believe it?"
"No."
"We don't believe it either."
The group of jōnin commanders glanced at one another.
Then they shook their heads with faint smiles and followed Shikaku's footsteps.
By the time Yagami arrived at the logistics department and selected enough ingredients for two people, a group of jōnin had already swarmed over.
After hearing that Kushina had been showing off his cooking skills, they all shamelessly used the excuse of wanting to eat together.
Yagami did not know whether to laugh or sigh.
But since everyone had already come, he did not refuse after smiling helplessly.
And so, the small meal originally prepared for two people turned into a dinner for the jōnin commanders.
Borrowing a stove from the logistics department, Yagami began displaying his cooking skills.
With practiced movements, smooth knife work, and frightening control over the heat, he quickly left the jōnin who had only come to watch completely dumbfounded.
When the tempting fragrance drifted out of the pot, several people almost swallowed their tongues.
Once a table of food large enough for everyone was nearly finished, Yagami asked Kushina to call Kakashi over.
Since this was no longer a private meal with Kushina, calling Kakashi to join them was not a problem.
Naturally, no one objected.
After all, Kakashi was Yagami's disciple.
But when Kushina returned, Yagami was slightly surprised.
Because Tekuno, whom he had not seen for more than ten days, had actually come back with Kushina and Kakashi.
After asking, Yagami learned that after Tekuno had delivered the mission report back to the village, he had been ordered by the Third Hokage to interrupt several ninja who were out on missions. Because of that, he had not been able to return to the battlefield in time.
By the time Yagami finished asking about Tekuno's situation, the final dish was ready.
And so, a special meal began in full swing.
For the first time, Yagami's God of Cookery-like skills were revealed in front of everyone.
