In Konoha, at the start, Hinata was given the Tenseigan.

The aftershocks of the battle gradually subsided, leaving only a faint sound of wind and lingering flames.

Although Natsuki, Artoria, and Izumi Uchiha were victorious, fatigue gradually set in.

"Let's find a place to rest for a bit," Xia Mu suggested, glancing around at the surroundings.

"This is not a long-term solution; we need to leave as soon as possible," Uchiha Izumi warned.

“I know a place.” Artoria pondered for a moment, her eyes gleaming.

She turned and led the two through the wreckage into a small alley.

At the end of the alley is a small restaurant with a simple sign hanging in front that reads "Food House".

“The food here is delicious,” Artoria said with a smile, as if recalling some fond memories.

"I am somewhat curious." Xia Mu raised his eyebrows, his eyes revealing anticipation.

As you push open the restaurant door, a rich aroma wafts out.

The store's decor is simple yet cozy, with walls covered in photos of customers, creating a friendly and natural atmosphere.

"Welcome!" The shop owner, a middle-aged man, greeted us warmly with a smile.

“We’d like to try your signature dishes.” Artoria smiled slightly, sat down, and ordered a few dishes.

Soon after, dishes were served one after another, and a variety of delicious foods with appealing colors, aromas and flavors came into view.

"It looks really good!" Xia Mu's eyes sparkled as he couldn't help but say.

“This is my favorite fish soup,” Artoria said, scooping up a bowl of it. The rich aroma of the soup was mouthwatering.

"Let me try it." Xia Mu leaned closer, took a small sip, and instantly felt warmth and satisfaction.

"This soup tastes absolutely wonderful; it seems to dispel all fatigue," he exclaimed.

"And the ramen here is really good too," Artoria continued, pointing to a steaming bowl of ramen.

185: Ramen? A little treat between battles!!

"Ramen?" Natsuki asked, his eyes filled with curiosity.

He immediately picked up a noodle and gently put it into his mouth.

"It's so delicious!" he exclaimed. The chewy noodles and the savory broth blended perfectly, making it impossible not to eat one bite after another.

"I'm glad you like it." Artoria smiled slightly, feeling relieved.

At this moment, Uchiha Izumi was also immersed in the delicious food, savoring a plate of stir-fried vegetables.

"This dish is also very unique, refreshing and delicious," she said softly, a hint of appreciation in her eyes.

"You all have such a good appetite," Xia Mu teased, laughing as she picked up the noodles again.

Time 477 passed quietly as they enjoyed the delicious food. The three shared the joy of the meal, and the fatigue from the battle gradually dissipated.

"Actually, I've always loved food." Artoria's voice was gentle as she recalled the various delicacies she had tried during her past adventures.

"Once, I met an old lady in a village, and the dumplings she made were the best I've ever eaten." Her eyes shone with a gentle light.

"What you said makes me want to try dumplings too," Xia Mu replied with a smile.

"Then let's go find dumplings next time!" Artoria nodded with a smile, her heart filled with anticipation.

“Sometimes, being able to enjoy good food after a battle is one of life’s pleasures,” Uchiha Izumi added after a moment of contemplation.

“That’s right.” Xia Mu agreed, in a pleasant mood.

Just then, the shop owner came over, smiling, and asked, "Is there anything else you need?"

"Another signature dessert, please." Artoria said without hesitation.

"Okay, just a moment." The shop owner smiled and left.

Soon after, a tempting dessert was served, emitting a rich aroma.

"This is a special matcha cake, have a taste," Artoria introduced.

Xia Mu couldn't wait to pick up a piece and gently put it in his mouth.

"It's so delicious! The aroma of matcha and the creamy texture of the cake are a perfect combination!" he exclaimed.

Uchiha Izumi couldn't resist taking a bite, a look of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"It's definitely worth recommending." She nodded slightly.

Amidst laughter and joy, time flew by, and the night outside gradually deepened.

"Food can always heal the soul," Xia Mu remarked, her love for life growing ever stronger.

Just as they were immersed in the pleasant atmosphere, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door.

The three exchanged glances, a sense of unease creeping into their hearts.

"Could it be that another enemy has arrived?" Artoria gripped her invisible sword tightly, preparing to meet the challenge.

"I'll go take a look." Xia Mu stood up, walked to the door, and pushed open the restaurant door.

Outside, the wind and clouds were swirling, and several dark figures darted swiftly through the night, approaching the restaurant.

"Who are you?" Xia Mu asked coldly, his body tense, ready to deal with any unexpected situation.

Several figures stopped and gradually revealed their true identities.

The man in the lead was tall and burly with a cold face, followed by several companions dressed in dark ninja outfits.

“We’re from another organization. We’ve heard there are members of the Dimensional End Gathering Society here.” The man’s voice was deep and menacing.

Xia Mu frowned, becoming wary.

"What are you doing here?" he asked coldly, already thinking of a way to deal with the situation.

“We are very interested in Akatsuki’s plans.” The man revealed a sly smile.

186: The journey is over!!

"Unfortunately, your culinary journey is about to end." He waved his hand, and his companions behind him prepared to launch an attack.

"Trying to disturb our beautiful time?" Xia Mu sneered, the light of the Evil King's True Eye flashing once more.

"It seems you have no sense of awe." Before he finished speaking, he mobilized the power within his body, preparing to counterattack.

“You’ve messed with the wrong person.” Artoria followed closely behind, gripping her sword tightly, her eyes flashing with fighting spirit.

"I'll take care of these guys." Uchiha Izumi's voice was calm and firm as she unleashed the power of her Mangekyou Sharingan.

The moment the warm atmosphere of the delicious food was shattered, the battle horn sounded once again.

The night outside grew increasingly heavy, and the air was thick with the atmosphere of an impending battle.

Xia Mu's eyes were sharp as he locked onto the enemy before him.

The man in the lead was named Kairo, a powerful ninja from another land.

He enjoys a certain reputation in the ninja world and is known for his strength, but he is also highly controversial because of his ambition.

Kylo smiled slightly, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

"I only wanted to understand the power of the Dimensional End Gathering Society, but I didn't expect to run into a bunch of small fry like you."

“You have no way out this time.” Xia Mu replied coldly, his right hand clenching slightly, and the light of the Evil King’s True Eye gradually intensified.

"Do you think you can stop us with your strength?" Kylo's voice was laced with provocation.

Several ninjas gathered behind him, their imposing aura suggesting they were ready to attack at any moment.

"I don't want to waste time." Xia Mu took a deep breath and made a quick decision.

"Artoria, Izumi Uchiha, prepare for battle!"

Artoria nodded, and the invisible sword in her hand glowed faintly, its momentum like a rainbow.

Uchiha Izumi calmly activated her Mangekyou Sharingan, revealing a sharp aura.

“We will not let you succeed,” she said, her eyes flashing.

Upon seeing this, Kylo's lips curled into a cold smile.

"If you want to fight, then come on!"

At his command, the ninjas behind him launched their attack, moving like the wind as they rushed towards the three.

"Well done!" Xia Mu's heart stirred, and the power of the Evil King's True Eye rapidly expanded, forming an invisible barrier that locked onto the enemy.

· ·····Requesting flowers···· ····

"Evil King's True Eye - Imprisonment!" he whispered, and the air in the space seemed to freeze, instantly binding several ninjas.

"How could this be?" Kailo's expression changed slightly, and he was shocked.

"Your strength is no match for ours," Xia Mu replied coldly, his gaze unwavering.

Just then, Artoria unleashed a sword strike, its light as bright as a rainbow, aimed directly at Kylo.
