In the bustling village of Sunagakure, a hot pot restaurant named "West Lai Shun" was packed with diners. The place was famous for its copper hot pot, known for its flavorful broth, tender lamb slices, meticulously crafted dipping sauces, and fair prices. The restaurant's innovative dining style had won the hearts of the villagers.
West Lai Shun had already opened branches in the Moon Lake District and the Land of Rain, and there were even rumors of plans to expand to Konohagakure (Hidden Leaf Village).
This establishment was a private venture owned by Jinghang, handed over to a group of retired and injured shinobi to manage. The working conditions were excellent, and the staff were happy to serve under Jinghang's name.
One of the shinobi, renowned for his exceptional knife skills, was currently putting on a live demonstration for the customers. With a few swift flashes of his blade, a fresh piece of lamb weighing over a kilogram was sliced into over a hundred paper-thin pieces, each as delicate as a cicada's wings. The performance was both delicious and visually stunning, earning rounds of applause from the diners.
At one table, Hidan and Ban no Shō were completely ignoring their table manners. Plate after plate of lamb slices were dumped into the boiling pot, and as soon as the meat turned a pale pink, they would scoop it out, dip it in sauce, and devour it with abandon. After all, today's test had drained them significantly, and they were desperate to replenish their energy.
Meanwhile, Furong Wu Zhong (Wu Zhong Furong) and Shūki Akasuna (Shūki of the Red Sand) were eating more gracefully. They dipped and ate one slice at a time, but their chopsticks never stopped moving.
