Chapter 97: The Akimichi Family
Akimichi Clan Compound, Dining Room.
A massive table was laden with all kinds of meat dishes. Akimichi Chōza and Akimichi Chōji sat there, devouring the food at a speed that made Chōji’s mother shake her head in exasperation.
"Slow down, you two. There’s plenty of food, and if it’s not enough, there’s more in the kitchen."
"No worries, Mom! I can handle it!" Chōji’s mouth was stuffed to the brim, yet he spoke with surprising clarity, a testament to his skill.
"Come on, son, let’s see who can eat more!" Chōza proposed with a grin.
"Alright, I’m speeding up!"
"So am I!"
Chōji’s mother sighed helplessly. These two were like a pair of overgrown kids.
The father and son duo went at it with ferocious intensity. At first, they were neck and neck, but Chōji’s speed began to outpace his father’s. Chōza watched his son with growing disbelief. If he didn’t know any better, he’d think his son had mutated—no, awakened a Kekkei Genkai!
"Son, how’re you eating so fast?" Chōza asked, bewildered.
"What did you say?" Chōji was in full swing, shoving meat into his mouth without pause.
