Naruto Uzumaki: Ultimate Chef

Who is this Chef?

Previously on Naruto Uzumaki: Ultimate Chef,

*Ahem* and just like that the air became breathable again for their lungs and they soon caught their breath. "You weren't listening to me explain that this soup may be 'amazing' and 'awesome' but it is not the Century Soup. It is just soup with a lot of ingredients in it. It is an incomplete version of the soup." Naruto explained in a deep and frustrated tone that was clear to their ears. Then some of the soup emerged from the pot and was placed in front of Toriko and Komatsu. "Try it." With the expression of a serious sergeant, it was enough to get them to drink the soup without any questions.

"So? It is good." Toriko said, not getting the point of all this.

"Yes it is but it is not the real Century Soup. The proof that one has drank the soup has shown on your face. If this was the real Century Soup than it would have been much more delicious. The real one makes this taste spoiled and rotten." Naruto explained from experience, after all he was trained by the second-best cook in the world. "I was where the real soup was to be found and I had been trying to help Master remake it so that it was possible to be made in a kitchen rather having to risk going to that place where natural Soup is made."

"You mean that…"

"I don't care what you have to say. If you want the soup, it is either that you wait another twenty years…" Naruto said and the hunter and the cook pair froze in disbelief. "Or you can try and go to Ice Hell. That is where the soup can be found. It makes a drop of it once every one hundred years but no one was able to find that place so there is basically a pond of the soup in the center of Ice Hell. If you want the soup that baldly, it is your best option. Good luck." Naruto finished his lecture and later that night, Toriko and Komatsu set out; with the desire to taste the real Century Soup, they prepared themselves for a trip to place called Ice Hell. But the way to get there may be just around the corner for these two brave explorers.

A few days later, Toriko and Komatsu were no longer in Gourmet Town or in any human settlement. They were in Ice Hell, the Ice Continent where it is said to house the Gourmet Showcase; once every hundred years, its bountiful ingredients will drip and form natural Century Soup. A company president and one of the wealthiest men in the world had hired Gourmet Hunters to brace the icy depths of Ice Hell in order to retrieve the legendary soup, with a very handsome sum as a reward. Once this word got out in a hub that was popular with hunters, they grabbed their gear and braced to fight the intense cold that was able to cool even magma.

Now, the group of hunters had made it to the ice mountain, where the Century Soup is said to be at its very center. But they were attacked. Attacked by Gourmet Corp. A ruthless and secretive terrorist organization determined to rule the world and its ingredients. And to that, they must gain hold on GOD, the apex of all ingredients. But where it can be found was were only one with their Gourmet Cells raised to the absolute limit. After how they failed to capture the Jewel Meat from Biotope One, they needed another dish that raises Gourmet Cells like the Century Soup.

Right now, Toriko and his allies were fighting battles that they were losing in. "Ha ha ha! You are all pitiful! I don't see how you all can kill us if you are that weak!" One of them was a thin, young, light skinned man with serpentine like eyes, semi unruly hair and he has two asymmetrical fangs, one pointing upward and the other pointing downward.

However despite his somewhat "normal" appearance on the outside, on the inside he possessed a truly disturbing skeletal structure which was almost inhuman in form, possessing at least 4,000 bones and 4,600 joints which he can easily manipulate and rearrange in any way he pleases and allowing him to move and bend his body in very disturbing ways. With those limbs, he was the world's most flexible 'human' and that was how he was getting the upper edge on his opponent.

Takimaru was a Gourmet Knight, they fight in order to protect ecosystems too and they don't use electric lights or natural gas like in the towns and cities as they prefer to live with what Nature can bring in a cleaner way. They live like Indians, in huts, with diets and use handmade weapons. The young man was light skinned with slightly long black hair and keeps some of his hair brushed over his left eye, the reason for this being that his left eye contains the remains of a fatal Gourmet World illness he called a "curse", which causes his eye to be permanently altered in appearance, having a bright pink pupil and a dark sclera. Whenever he becomes agitated his left eye's pupil begins to glow a bright pink color.

His right eye however is perfectly healthy and has a normal blue colored pupil. Takimaru always wears an orange turban around his head which has a blue crescent design printed on the right side of the turban. His outfit normally consists of a simple blue colored long sleeved shirt with orange edges along with a pair of blue pants and brown shoes. Right now, Takimaru was has seen better days but as for why he is in Ice Hell; he was hoping that the Century Soup will be enough for his ailing leader and father figure who was the first to never shun Takimaru away despite his 'curse'.

"I will have to agree with you Bogie Woods. They are nothing but pushovers compared to all the beasts we have to fear back in the Gourmet World." Another one of them was more calm when it came to his insults. He was a muscular man with a mustache and beard. He has tusks on his mouth. He wears a special armor made from the shell of a Crush Turtle which was widely known for its durability, rivaling that of diamonds.

"I wish you will actually shout out for once Barrygamon. You will love to see them flinch like they were being hit by rocks. Then again, they could just fall down instead since they are just moments from dying! Ha ha ha!" Bogie addressed his companion and they all looked to the one near Takimaru.

He was a tall pale skinned man with blonde hair, but his most notable traits are that his body is completely covered in scars received at the hands of Zebra of the Four Heavenly Kings according to him. He was dressed in the typical style of a modern Yakuza, wearing a full white suit with white shoes and a purple dress shirt. He also always carries his legendary sword with him. He was Patch and he was now the boss of the Gourmet Yakuza crime organization but he still had his big heart for those who live in poverty; he is here to at least fetch a supply of the Century Soup for himself and use it to help the starving children of the underdeveloped countries within the Human World. Right now, Patch was not thinking that will happen because his men are already down and Patch himself was on his last legs.

All Takimaru and Patch do is listen to the laughs of the Gourmet Corp Operators until the laughter stopped. Bogie Woods and Barrygamon suddenly fell to the ground, holding their necks like someone was strangling them. "W w what…t the hell?" "I can't…breathe!"

"Of course you can't Gourmet Corp. I don't see what is so funny about people with real devolution being bullied and pounded to the ground by you bullies." Patch and Takimaru didn't recognize but once the two members of Gourmet Corp. fell to ground, out like lights. "And don't you think that I am interrupting you fights. You all must agree that when your opponent is barely scratched, now knows every single move you know and you being almost killed means that your fight is over; there is no losing when it comes to these jerks, you can only win or die." A figure in shadows had revealed himself to be…Naruto!

"Who the hell are you!?" Patch knew that Naruto had a good reason for finishing the Gourmet Corp. members off but he was no gentlemen or a very good loser.

"I am just one hell of a cook. Now where is Toriko and Komatsu?"

XXXXX

After a few months, Toriko and Komastu had hit off pretty good from their hellish experience at the Ice Continent; Toriko managed to defy the odds and regrew his arm in only a few months rather than twenty years according to the reviver named Yosaku; meanwhile, Komatsu had redone the formula for the legendary Century Soup in just three months rather than twenty years according to Setsuno. Now Toriko can continue hunting and he even was given the honor of being the first to try the soup. It was so good that Toriko ultimate called it his Soup in his Full Course Menu. But they were going to get another treat before the day was over.

While they were enjoying the soup so much, with their vulgar faces of pure joy that was so creepy, they suddenly felt something that they hadn't felt in their whole lives. It was like their bodies had fully digested the soup in an instant and now they were starving to death; their stomach growls were so loud and deep that they could be mistaken for that of

hungry bears. "Nice to see that everyone is already hungry. Now I will need to cook." Everyone to turned to see a young man of blonde hair with a sack filled to the brim

"NARUTO!" Toriko said while Komatsu didn't say anything, they were suddenly afraid of Naruto now. They must have figured that Naruto had to power to make them starve to death right on the spot if he wanted to.

"Hey! What did you do that made my Toriko hungry again!? That is supposed to be my job!" Rin, the user of multiple perfumes and fragrances, shouted in her usual tone when something is against Toriko or in her case, her future with him.

"It is within my power 'Beast Tamer' Rin and if you will like, I can show just what I can really do. With you as the guinea pig." Naruto said while smiling like a manic that scared Rin into silence so she just hurried to hug Toriko's arm in hopes he will protect her. "Anyhow, I have heard that you both are back in action after a few months of silence. I figured that with your Century Soup, a full feast is in order. Luckily I brought plenty of ingredients to cook with." Naruto remarked while directing the attention to his budging sack.

"And what is in the sack?" Setsuno happened to be there along with Patch and his bodyguards, Takimaru and a reviver who happened to be at Ice Hell named Teppei. They all had the same vulgar face which was shocking to see the least.

"That is to be a surprise Master. Just make sure to not go away before me and Komatsu are done." Naruto was always one to keep people on edge with his surprises.

"Me?"

"You're still a cook, right? Then give me a hand because you cooked all this before so you might as well pitch in. I want to see the cook that the Glutton had choose personally."

Naruto said which got Komatsu blushing under the praise that just overshadowed his embarrassment. Komatsu led Naruto to the nearest kitchen and after a good half hour, everyone but Setsuno were shocked to see an army of blondes emerge from the hallway. "Today we present our feast in honor of Toriko's miracle recovery and the rebirth of the Century Soup!" They all said in unison as the first one approached the table before lifting the serving dome,

"As the Hors d'Oeuvre of this evening, BB Corn!" Fireworks shout in the form of giant puff of popcorn that showered the room and yet they all landed in all the plates on the feasting table. But there was a white blur that caught most of the popcorn before it landed in the plates. It was someone who loved the popcorn even more than the guest at Hotel Gourmet.

It was a young wolf pup with completely white fur, black eyes with pink pupils and he has two blue markings on each side of his face below his eyes which resemble horizontal

scars. "A Battle Wolf huh? It must have decided that BB Corn was its favorite food."

"Terry? You were here the whole time!?" Toriko looked up from the Hors d'Oeuvre to see his animal partner in the hotel.

"Sorry, it must have smelled the corn from inside my sack and decided to follow me all the way here. For a pup, it sure is good at hiding and tracking, it could have killed him for less if I wasn't careful." The 'Naruto' remarked based on how Toriko knew the young Battle Wolf. Then the blonde made way for the next one,

"As the Soup has already be served, here is the Salad of the evening for all of you to enjoy, Silver Battle Grass!" the blonde said and revealed an herb that Toriko never seen before, it was definitely silver alights. It was like someone found a field of silver grass strands and plucked them as if they were flowers. Toriko uses his fork to pick up a strand and then felt like his fighting spirit had hit hyper drive and beyond; it was hard not to give into this new desire to break something or fight someone to burn off this energy. The effect was also like the Century Soup, Toriko's cells were reignited and supercharged all the way to evolution.

"But where in the world did you find such a grass Naruto?" Setsuno happened to one to ask that and everyone wanted too, not one single person had recognized the name 'Battle Grass' before in any of their knowledge of the world's 300,000 ingredients. Naruto just ignored her, very brave or foolish since Setsuno was as temperamental as an unhappy wife; good thing for Naruto, Setsuno adores him to much still.

"For our Meat Dish, it is this." The third blonde placed his serving dome onto the table which grew all of a sudden once it reached the very center of the table. The dome then lifted to reveal a wonder to everyone's eyes including Toriko's. There, on the serving platter was "Jewel Meat served with Galala Gator Meat."

"You entered a Regal Mammoth!? How did you do that and not get arrested!?" Toriko ranted, pretty much because he couldn't do by himself and yet this young cook did. "You will have to be given permission by the IGO…"

"It was IGO who asked me on such short notice that one of their Regal Mammoth had escape no doubt thanks you bunch scaring up the colony within Biotope One." The third 'Naruto' answered in a very blunt answer. Toriko just took it and enjoyed the meat just the same. Pretty soon, the result of everyone eating the meat collection had caused the entire room to light up without the aid of electric lights.

Then a fourth and fifth blonde took their step towards the table. "Now, we have both our Drink and Fish Dish in one go. Puffer Whale Salami and Puffer Whale Sake!" Toriko was in awe to see something that he never thought he will get to see in such short time; the golden Puffer Whale meat in a Salami order and the glittering sake made from grinding the fins into a liquid form. But speaking of which,

"I thought that Puffer Whale remain in deep water for another ten years!" Toriko said in realization and everyone but Setsuno were baffled at it; she just chuckled and said,

"Naruto is the most unpredictable cook in the world. I am not that easy to be surprised anymore after taking him in." Setsuno said as she enjoyed the very same sake that her former combo partner waited every decade in order to enjoy, it was delicious indeed.

Then a sixth 'blonde' came with a serving dome that appeared to have steam linking out. "Now we will present our Main Dish of this evening from our Full Course Menu, the hardest one to concur and yet the tastiest. Dare And Danger Ramen!" Once the Blonde removed the dome, he moved his arms in a blur and landed on every plate a bowl of freshly cooked and boiled ramen soaked in a bowl filled to the edging with broth. When everyone tried it out, they learned while Naruto gave such a dangerous sounding name; one time, the ramen grew a mouth and nearly eat one of Toriko's hands, another caught fire when Teppei tried to drink the broth, and other shot out spikes when Patch tried to use chopsticks to pick up the noodles. "Try again and this time, don't be hesitate or hasty. Truly enjoy food and this one as well like Lady Setsuno is." Naruto directed everyone's attention to Setsuno who ate it all up without problem and even asked for some more.

Everyone else looked at each other and tried to eat the noodles again and after trial and error, they were able to figure out the way to enjoy their bowl of noodles and broth. It truly was delicious, even more than the rest of the food. Toriko, for the third time that day had felt his body react to the food and grow all in an instant, now he felt like taking on any

danger fund in the Human World. But then he felt like the drool from his mouth gushed out like a waterfall. He knew this scent and feeling that invaded the room and into his nose.

It was the seventh 'Naruto' and this time, there was only one of them left so this must be the original and real blonde. "Now it will be Toriko's desert. The Rainbow Fruit." Naruto didn't do like with the copies from before and only introduced Komatsu who had somehow been standing there with the dome containing the Rainbow Fruit the whole time. How did the scent stand in the dome all this time?

Komatsu presented the fruit just like when he did with Toriko months ago. Everyone was drooling all the time save for Naruto who just looked to see everyone enjoy the aurora that shined from the pudding made from the Rainbow Fruit. They loved the taste of every single fruit in the world invade their mouths and flooded their taste buds. They now knew while Toriko chose this for his course menu.

After the whole feast, Naruto was packing up for something. Komatsu had to ask. "Are you going back to Setsuno's diner?"

Naruto halted and he turned to Komatsu with everyone else except for Setsuno who had already left the vicinity for the said restaurant. "No. She said it herself that I no longer need to be trained under her anymore. The last three months were I ever need to finish my training with her. Now it was time to make a name for myself but not anywhere under IGO."

"Why? You are a great cook and you could make it to the top hundred." Komatsu said in his usual modest and humble tone that tried to bounce the praise to others who were involved even the slightest.

"Thanks but now it is time for me to be needed back at my home at Konohagakure." Naruto said and before anyone could remark on never hearing about that, "It is in the Human World but off any maps in the Elemental Nations that refuse to be part of IGO. The only way there is to be that interested and already knowing where it is." Naruto made it clear but before he could leave altogether, he was asked of something he never even dreamed of,

"Can we come along and train under you?" Naruto turned to Toriko as the voice behind that question. Komatsu was by his side, nervous but not budging from that spot near Toriko along with Rin for more like interest and accompanying him. Naruto didn't know what to say about all this but if he could see the future, he will have the definite answer to that question.

End of Chapter 2.

*I guess I should explain why I am making these ingredients and dishes up but I need to make Naruto a very unique character and I am trying to get into the theme that the author is using for the others in his original work. I hope it doesn't offend you in any way. Just imagine what you can think of if you can make your own Full Course Menu with ingredients that never are features in either the manga or the anime. All you who read, watch and love Toriko should try some day; after all, that is exactly the inspiration that the author is using for his stories.*
