Gourmet Hunter: Join the Chat Group

【Ninja World Dance King】: "Who made the changes?"

Madara Uchiha's aged face darkened visibly; if that was a lie, then everything he had done was a joke.

[Star Forger]: "Did you create an incarnation of will called Black Zetsu?"

[Ninja World Dance King]: "That's right."

[Star Forger]: "Black is not your will. He is a product of the will of the Sage of Six Paths' mother. He is a creation of Yin-Yang Escape and has lived for a very long time."

"He modified the contents of the stone tablet so that the Uchiha people could awaken the Rinnegan and perform the Infinite Tsukuyomi to rescue his mother, Kaguya Otsutsuki, who was sealed on the moon."

"Madara, you have great talent. You can awaken the Rinnegan. You are the best piece for Black Zetsu."

"When the Infinite Tsukuyomi succeeds in the future, you will be spoken to from behind by the Black Zetsu you trust."

[Ninja World Dance King]: "Damn it, that bastard Black Zetsu, how dare he?"

Madara Uchiha was furious. He had become Black Zetsu's tool, playing a ridiculous, clown-like role. To him, this was the epitome of irony.

You want to rip my heart out, huh? Or were you spying on me from behind, you dark, coal-like lump, while I was fighting Hasilama to the death?

Backstab me with the same move that Hasilama used against me, fine, very good!

Hasilama's sneak attack was something I could only find hard to believe, but who does Black Zetsu think he is to betray me?

Even across the world, Qin Zhou could imagine Madara Uchiha's anger, especially now that he was in his old age Madara state. Would he be so angry that he went straight to the Pure Land?

【Pink Fairy】: "Mr. Madara sounds a bit pitiful."

[God of Justice]: "It's really a bit tragic."

Silly Fufu played the role of the water god for over five hundred years. Put yourself in her shoes; if you found out in the end that all your efforts were in vain and all those years of hard work were for nothing, your mentality would probably completely collapse.

The reflection of myself in the mirror hopes that you can succeed and avert the prophetic crisis.

Otherwise, I'll have to rely on the power of the outside world (chat groups).

[Ninja World Dancer]: "Are Black Zetsu and the Sage of Six Paths brothers?"

Madara Uchiha calmed down a bit. Although he had never seen what the Sage of Six Paths looked like, he shouldn't be as dark-skinned as Black Zetsu.

[Star Forger]: "They're not exactly brothers. Black Zetsu was a backup plan that Kaguya hastily created before she was sealed away by her two sons."

"Kaguya had two sons, one was the Sage of Six Paths, and the other was the ancestor of the Hyuga clan. After the mother and sons had a falling out, Kaguya was sealed away by her two sons."

[Ninja World Dance King]: "This family is really chaotic, what a loving mother and filial son."

[Star Forger]: "Black Zetsu does not have the power of the Sage of Six Paths, so he can only act in secret. Many of the wars that broke out may have been instigated by Black Zetsu."

"You and Hashirama are related to the two sons of the Sage of Six Paths."

[Ninja World Dance King]: "Could it be that Hashirama and I are descendants of the son of the Sage of Six Paths?"

【Star Forger】: "Although the Senju and Uchiha are indeed descendants of the Sage of Six Paths, you and Hashirama are special. Although the Sage of Six Paths' two sons have passed away, their souls and chakra will continue to reincarnate."

[Ninja World Dance King]: "You mean, I'm the reincarnation of that Indra?"

Madara Uchiha was completely dumbfounded. What the hell was going on? This was too chaotic.

Only today do I realize that I am not myself?

Who is he?

He really couldn't tell the difference.

[Star Forger]: "It's not exactly a reincarnation, but there should be Indra's soul within you, just in a dormant state. Although it won't turn you into Indra, it will affect your personality and power."

"Madara, haven't you realized that you and Hasirama are special cases within the Uchiha and Senju clans?"

Madara Uchiha pondered. The two of them were indeed special cases. After all, his combat strength was far ahead of others in the Uchiha clan, especially after he awakened the Eternal Eye, the gap became even greater. He had been away from Konoha for some years, but no one in the Uchiha clan had been able to rival him.

Among the Senju clan, Hasirama's power far surpasses others, and his Wood Release technique is practically cheat-like, giving him a precipitous lead.

Chapter 10 Main Story Begins

Madara Uchiha has logged off. He heard too much information today and needs to process it properly.

That traitor Black Zetsu, let him roam freely for a while, and deal with him when you're ready.

Knowing that Black Zetsu would betray him, Madara Uchiha, with his ruthless and decisive nature, had no intention of letting Black Zetsu go.

Black Zetsu, that dark-skinned guy, is very cunning. You can't alert him. His ability to hide is among the best in the ninja world.

If Black Zetsu escapes, there will be no chance to catch him again. We must eliminate him completely the moment we make our move.

Madara Uchiha was somewhat bewildered that the Infinite Tsukuyomi was a hoax. He had spent so much time preparing for peace, but now he learned that it was just a tool used by Otsutsuki Shinobu to save his mother.

He needs to think carefully about what to do next. The existence of the chat group has also broadened his horizons.

The food construction team worked very quickly; the foundation of the house had already been laid, and Qin Zhou was looking forward to seeing what it would look like when it was finished.

"Hey, Qin Zhou, do you have some free time lately?"

Toriko walked over with a young man who was about 1.5 meters tall. Compared to Toriko and Qin Zhou, this young man was much shorter.

Qin Zhou recognized who it was.

Komatsu is the protagonist with exceptionally good luck in eating. He has very large nostrils, hence the nickname "Big-Nosed Komatsu." Later in the manga, Komatsu's nostrils become normal.

"Hello, Mr. Qin Zhou, my name is Xiao Song." Xiao Song introduced himself.

"Hello, Komatsu. Toriko, I've been free lately. Is there something you need?" Qin Zhou nodded and looked at Toriko beside him. The main storyline must be about to begin.

"Haha, Komatsu asked me to capture the Kayla Crocodile, so I came to ask if you wanted to come along," Toriko said with a smile.

The Kaira Crocodile is a giant crocodile that reigns supreme in the Baron Islands ecosystem.

A regular Kayla crocodile has a capture level of 5, while a 300-year-old Kayla crocodile has a capture level of 8. As the capture level increases, the flavor also becomes richer.

Ordinary tanks are no match for this level of ferocity; only a gourmet would be truly capable of taking action.

"Hehe, I'm just killing time anyway, so I'll go with you guys." Qin Zhou nodded.

There's no way to miss out on delicious food that you don't have to lift a finger. Toriko has no problem dealing with the giant crocodile, Kaira.

"Komatsu, you can go back to the Gourmet Hotel first," Toriko said.

"Um, Mr. Toriko, I've been asked to go on an ecological survey of the Kayla Crocodile," Komatsu said with a sigh.

If he could, he wouldn't want to go to such a dangerous place.

"What? You're coming with us?" Toriko asked, looking shocked.

He was certain that Xiaosong's physical condition was that of an ordinary person, not even that of an ordinary soldier.

Although there aren't any gourmet creatures on the Baron Islands that exceed level ten, there are still countless that can kill Xiao Song.

“Toriko, it won’t hurt to have one more person with you. I think Komatsu has a good luck with food,” Qin Zhou said.

People with strong luck in food can avoid harm and seek advantage. In most cases, they can remain safe and sound, and they generally will not encounter fatal injuries. People like Qiao Ya, who have strong luck in food and can use it, can directly avoid powerful attacks.

His luck with food should be pretty good too. Jiro said that people with Qin Zhou's luck with food are rare on the whole planet, but Qin Zhou himself doesn't know exactly what level it is.

With the buffs of being a time traveler, a chat group, and the power of the Dragon King, one's luck (fortune) is naturally not weak.

Toriko looked at Komatsu thoughtfully. He had heard the old man say that food luck was a mysterious thing, but it really existed.

"Fine, since you're not afraid of death, then come along tomorrow."

Xiaosong was on the verge of tears. How could he not be afraid of death? Of course he was afraid of death. He was very timid, after all, he had never been on an adventure in the wild and had no experience at all.

When Qin Zhou and his two companions arrived at the port, Xiao Song carried a hunting rifle on his back, which gave him a sense of security.

He hadn't yet witnessed Qin Zhou and Alu's strength; otherwise, he would have known that there was absolutely no need to bring guns, and that ordinary firearms really weren't very lethal.

"Toriko, who are these two? Aren't you going to introduce them to me?" Tomu said with a smile.

He and Toriko are old friends, and Toriko usually entrusts him with the processing of the ingredients he wants to sell.

"Qin Zhou, a gourmet better than me, and Komatsu, the head chef of the gourmet hotel," Toriko introduced.

"A chef? Komatsu, are you sure you want to go to the Baron Islands?"

Qin Zhou only surprised Shi Meng, but Xiao Song puzzled him greatly. This was too courageous, as he could tell that Xiao Song was a chef with little skill.

Although there are strong chefs, such as Setsuno and the others, Komatsu is clearly not one of them. He actually wants to go to such a dangerous place, which doesn't seem like he has any strength at all.

"Yes, that's right." Komatsu chuckled awkwardly.

"Since you're mentally prepared, let's get on the ship."

Shi Meng had no objections. He was just a boatman; his job was simply to get them to their destination, and the rest was none of his concern.

After the three boarded the ship, Shi Meng started the vessel and sped off at sea, cutting through the waves. Before long, the port behind them disappeared from sight.

In stark contrast to the nervous Komatsu, Qin Zhou and Toriko were leisurely eating their lunchboxes. Both were confident in their abilities and believed that the Baron Islands would be no problem.

"Qin Zhou, when do you plan to enter the culinary world?" Toriko asked casually as he ate almond cabbage.

Komatsu pricked up his ears; he had never cooked any of the ingredients in the culinary world, only heard about them from others.

It was a vast and magical yet dangerous region, teeming with unparalleled culinary delights. Every year, gourmets would eagerly venture into the culinary world, but most would never return.

"No rush, but I'll definitely be ahead of you, Toriko," Qin Zhou said.

The culinary world should be prepared, as there are hundreds or even thousands of creatures there, and nuclear bombs probably wouldn't be able to do much damage to creatures of that level.

"If you ever go to the culinary world and bring back any ingredients, don't forget me!" Shi Meng poked her head out of the driver's seat and said with a smile.

"The price is negotiable, and we will definitely satisfy you."

The price of ingredients in the culinary world is much higher than in the human world because things are rare and therefore expensive. Very few ingredients are available, and they are in short supply in the market.

"You'll definitely get a share." Toriko readily agreed. After years of cooperation, Tomu was a trustworthy person.

Qin Zhou nodded. If he were to sell, he would definitely do so through someone he knew.

"We've arrived. The only entrance to the Baron Islands—the Mouth of the Demon—I'll drop you off here."

After passing through the reefs, Shi Meng stopped the boat. He wasn't a gourmet, so he had no intention of following them in.

After disembarking, the three paddled their kayak along the eerie passage into the Baron Islands.
