Walking along to his next distraction, since he sure as hell wasn't going to do anything of meaning until the Hokage sent them out, he pondered picking up some more gear when his stomach barked at him.OK, food first. Then monies.Heck, Ichiraku was just right around the corner. Maybe he could just get a job there? Cooking was a useful skill. Didn't women like a man who could cook.
"WAGYU BOWL PLEASE!"
Son of b***h.Well, there went that ide-- no. Wait. He was a ninja now. Making a single seal he performed the transformation technique before rounding the corner and stepping into the shop. Now, his white hair wasn't something any of his classmates were likely to know about, but just encase, he transformed into a she. Besides, this was Sumika. Groucho glasses coulda fooled her. Removing her sword from her belt, she'd lean it against the bar while she leaned in to whisper to the daughter."Are you by chance hiring?"Apparently the answer was yes, because an apron was thrown into her face shortly before practically being thrown over the bar and into the back with the father and owner of the joint.
The infinitesimal imbecile had ordered the most expensive thing, and the owner was rushing to prep all the stupid crap that came with it, leaving the daughter at the bar, and Kanza... ko? That's retarded. Whatever. Leaving her to do the simple and easy prep work. Luckily, special bowls and hashi had already been made in the off chance anyone wanted to spend nearly 200 ryo on ramen, but were dusty as hell because nobody eats 200 ryo bowls of ramen, Jon. Plucking the dishes from where she was directed, she rolled back her single sleeve and got to work washing the bowl, the hashi, and for good measure the remaining dishes from the previous orders too, drying them off. [1/3]
NOPE! No time. She... really have to think of a name for herself in this disguise... Washing dishes wouldn't get this order out in a timely manner. There was a lot of expensive crap to be thrown into Sumi's order, and it needed space to be prepared correctly. No sense in letting truffles be tainted by soy sauce. To that end... Shiori! Yeah, Shiori-- began clearing away excess cutlery and utensils from the counter tops, wiping them down with a steamy rag to take away any other lingering ingredient traces. Next came wiping down the cutlery and cooking tools themselves, pretty much clean already, but damn, did this guy not want to contaminate Sumi's order. [2/3]
Shiori had to weave around the owner in a kitchen clearly not designed for more than one person running around like a chicken with their head cut off. Simple, non cooking or cleaning tasks she sort of did on her own. Pouring water in a pot and setting it to to a medium temperature, setting out a few pans to warm up, maybe a wok? I don't know how to cook ramen. Korean BBQ is more my deal. Cutting boards and knives were placed in the small space allowed, all directly next to the bowl that the dish was going to be served. The kitchen was ready and set for everything now in a few minutes while the owner unwrapped the ingredients. Kitchen Preparation: Complete
Oh, but nay! Apparently, Shiori had wasted time with superfluous bullshit by doing exactly what she was told. Now her aid was required to actually prepare the dish. Sumi's order called for pretty much every variety of broth this place served ramen in all in one. The meat and bones of the chicken and pork were readily available and thrown in to pot, with the dried shrimps and scallops tossed in for good measure. Ducking under the counter and almost setting her hair on fire in the process, several strips of seaweed were added to it as well. [1/4]
Leaving the broth to... brothize or whatever, Shiori spun about and snatched up a razor sharp knife, taking to the vegetables and cutting them up as neatly as she could, going slow to learn how to be smooth. Slow was smooth, and smooth was fast. Onions, more seaweed, and leeks were all turned into widdle cubes and cylinders, all of which were set into a separate bowl to be used shortly. Calling out and finding she was alone, plucked a boiled egg from another pot, cursing how stupid she was, running the egg under cold water to break the shell open. [2/4]
The smell of grilled beef came wafting from outside, so at least she knew where the owner went, the daughter coming in to start the remainder of the real cooking while Shiori was bid to fetch the truffles, being tossed a wooden plate marked 'Ichiraku' the meaning the clear that the place had a tab with a grocer, or had paid for ingredients in advance. Makes sense. Scooting out from the kitchen, she kicked it into high gear when she planted her hand on the bar near the corner and hopped over it, snatching her katana and bolting down the street, then over the buildings at the end. Ninja abilities were gonna cut down on this little trip. In record time (for Ichiraku) Shiroi was at the grocer, exchanging the plank for a sealed container of friggen truffles, and didn't waste time coming in through the front, since she could see the rising flames of the grill behind the ramen shop, because apparently the rare beef had to be cooked using a certain type of wood. [3/4]
By the time she was back in the kitchen, most of the dish had been cooked, so she took the noodles and broth and poured them into the bowl. The truffles were truffed, the beef was cooked and cut behind her, the remainder of the dish carefully placed while she was sent out to deliver the chopsticks that Sumika could keep, gently placed as close to the tiny ninja as they could be, before Shiori went back into the kitchen to put away the larger stock of items that weren't used for this one bowl, mostly the chopped vegetables and unused broth, then grate the truffles over the whole bowl before being shoved out to deliver it while the owner and daughter tried to figure out exactly how much this meal was going to cost Sumika. Food Preparation: Complete
"Wagyu Bowl. Please enjoy."Having not taken her sword off, she'd knocked over stuff in the kitchen when she left to serve Sumika her ramen, placing the heavy bowl on the counter, then finally using the actual door to come around to the customer side, remove her katana, and lean on the wall by the corner to light a cigarette, blowing the smoke out of the place why she could. All in all, the amount of time to make the ramen hadn't been longer than usual, it was just the sheer rarity of people willing to order it that most of the items weren't prepared. Kanzaki Shiori being there had cut down on time.

Before going to see Taka in person Naomi figured a bite to eat wouldn't hurt. By chance she found Sumika already getting a bowl. "Oi Sumi-chan!" her voice called out as she walked over and hopped up onto the seat of stool next to Sumika. The jump was clean since Naomi was pretty agile. Her eyes briefly glanced at the smoking woman in the corner before they trailed down to her cleavage and brought a blush to her cheeks. Feeling the heat caused her eyes to dart away "It's rather unlike me but I ditched the squad, I'm not sure I care for the leader or that creepy guy with the skull face."

Wasn't she hungry? Had she come here for food or money? Shiori had gotten a bit caught up in the serving and preparation of food instead of, you know, eating it. She got paid though, so it was all good. Curiously enough it looked like business was going to be picking up, with one of the team members coming in and sitting down. With the father-daughter pair in the back, she supposed it was up to her to take orders. Is that Naomi? Shouldn't she be with her squad doing some sort of anything other than getting food? Her brief glance over had not gone unnoticed, Shiori initially thinking she had something spilled on her shirt, looking down at where Naomi had been staring, groping herself.
Boobs. She looked like a woman and the outfit she had one was for men. With only three buttons, this was high as it went. Was she checking me out? Shiori grinned and put out her cigarette, flicking the butt into a can across the street, stepping back behind the counter. Time to have some fun with the ball of moe, and get paid to do it. Her walk would come to a halt when the mention of a 'skull face' came to her attention, staring off into the middle distance. Who would have such a stupid face claim? Such a lust for edgy? WHO?! Blinking out of her thousand yard stare, she swaggered over to Naomi, leaning over to rest her elbows on the counter, giving her a wink."Hey cutie. May I take your order?"

Sumika scrunched her nose at the woman's response but got her beefy bowl, and some company mid bite, soon enough. "Whaf upf Nahomi?" The girl managed, trying to juggle recognizing her friend's arrival and a mouth full of tasty food. "Umpf." It was almost painful trying to swallow everything too fast, but worth it on multiple levels. "Guess we're both in the same boat now. Well, not literally the same boat because I don't really do the whole water thing, but you know. Fig... uh... fig-uratively. Yeah... that one." She added with a big grin as the woman manning the tiny shop zipped over to take Naomi's order too. The little puppeteer hadn't expected company for her gastronomic adventure, but she couldn't say she was unhappy. The prospect of doing everything alone, despite her familiarity with the overall process of managing it, didn't strike her as terribly enjoyable. Of course, Naomi probably had to go do... well, whatever it was older people seemed in such a rush to go do with each other all the time... with "the Hokage'', at some point. The internally monologuing child of the iron sand gave about as snide an expression to that thought as possible, but at the end of the day it was what it was. Sumika got along with the Senju quite well, but they weren't exactly two peas in a pod, so it followed that Naomi's time was her own business. Plus, what was some little orphan junkrat going to give in terms of prescient commentary on their current disparate predicaments?

"I got your meaning Sumi-chan. Hey at least this way we can see each other more often." The pink on her cheeks hadn't quite receded when the white haired woman walked over to the other side of the counter and set her trap. Amethyst eyes settled upon the cleavage that was now front and center. That alone would have been enough to turn up the heat, but that wink? A shiver ran down her spine while her heart pounded insider her chest. Why hadn't she noticed before how cute girls could be? Heart near ready to explode the word cutie filtered into her ears. Face now matching those red strands of hair she tried avoid looking at both the woman's eyes and her glorious boobs. "Ka... karage ramen," she eked out at a little above a whisper." Oh what devil hath been set upon the sweet moe reincarnation of Naomi?

Priceless. This moment here just about made up for Naomi killing him in their previous lives. She had practically no filter against this sort of thing, acting as the opposite of what he remembered. She was still interested in girls though, like some kind of universal constant. Her blood was mad useful, and this bashfulness just might come in handy too. The genius of the idea would strike Shiori later. For now, she had a job to, rapping her knuckle on the counter and slinking off into the kitchen.
Having not been mindful of her sword, Shiori had to first clean up the mes she'd made exiting the kitchen to serve Sumika. Kneeling down she went about collecting the bowls and utensils and instruments that had been scattered on the ground, piling them up in the crook of her arm, thankful for the apron. They were dumped off into the sink, then she grabbed a dustpan and fox tail to sweep up the random food bits that had been wasted, tossing them in the trash. [1/3]
Next were the dishes themselves needing to be cleaned, Shiori running some water over them before stopping up the sink. Strange how in a world where anyone could generate water from chakra, there was still an emphasis on conserving it for cleaning, but she did it all the same, using the shallow basin to wet and scrub down all of the dirt and bits of food from the porcelain. With them all relatively clean, she rinsed them off and placed them in a small steamer to be disinfected, closing the door of the device and cranking the timer dial. [2/3]
With that accomplished, she'd have to set aside all the junk that the actual chefs would need to complete their dishes, but that couldn't start until everything was cleaned up after the last order. So now the trash can was grabbed, using a broad knife to scrap over the metal and wooden prep areas, removing the last traces of chopped this or mushed that. A warmed cloth and a bit of alcohol was used to clean off any germs from the raw meats in Sumika's Wagyu bowl, since there were so damn many animal parts to clean up from what with their pesky blood and fat having dripped everywhere. [Kitchen Preparation: Complete]
Now came the more fun part, which was setting up everything to be prepared, the owners giving Shiori more of the work to see how she handled it. Into the cupboards she went, referring to a sheet on the wall of all the ingredients needed for Karaage, placing them all on the metal counter. Corn, chicken, oil, eggs, and a multitude of veggies were all laid out in preparation for more preparation. [1/4]
She took an egg and gave it a rinse off, placing it carefully in an empty pot, then filling that pot with water. She set the water to boil, mindful of the time the egg was supposed to be in it. Then she set aside the package of noodles beside the pot to be used when the water reached a boil and the egg could be removed. The egg didn't count since it technically wasn't being cooked all the way, so she got a nod from the owner to keep going. [2/4]
Reaching into a drawer she withdrew a large knife with one hand, and grabbed a half ear of corn with the other. Dipping one end into a bowl to collect, she ran the knife down the side of the corn, shaving off the cold kernels, spinning the ear as she went. She tossed the naked stalk over her shoulder into the trash, setting aside the bowl of corn, and got to chopping the rest of the veggies into small cubes or strips as the recipe called for. [3/4]
Arguably the most important task was saved for last, that being the meat itself. Firstly the chicken breast was cut from the bone, not very well, but good enough for its purpose. Then the strips were doused in some pre-made batter from cold storage, set on a plate near the burners. Finally Shiori pulled up a large pan and set that next to the pot of water, pouring enough oil in there to halfway reach the top, and more than enough to fry the chicken strips in their entirety. [Food Preparation: Complete]
Backing off so that the actual chef could get to work, she decided to whip up something on her own as an experiment. Chakra as an ingredient! Since she didn't know much about how to cook anything, but all about preparation, she chose a small innocuous beverage to make, one that the patrons wouldn't normally be charged for anyways. Tea! Hot water and dried plants. Not even Kanzaki could ******** that up. [1/3]
Shiori snatched two small cups from a rack above her, using them to scoop out about a cup of the warming, but not yet boiling water that the egg and noodles were being prepared it. It was going to be reused anyways, since the broth was being cooked elsewhere. Eyes darting around for the tea types, she chose one that they had plenty stock of, older than the others with how infrequently it was ordered. Shaking the box of dried, plum pickled cherry blossoms next to her ear, she opened it to give it a smell, then headed back to the warm water. [2/3]
Shiori, with her backs to the other occupied chefs, made a horse seal with her hands, calling chakra to be molded into a fire flavor, then with some awkward leaning down, using her chin and chest, managed to dump the dried blossoms into her waiting palms, closing them into a tiger seal, refining the fire chakra a bit further. She held the formation until she was told Naomi's ramen was ready, then dumped the chakra infused blossoms into the water. Sakuraya wasn't the most flavor heavy type of tea, but it was an easy experiment all the same. [Special [E] Actual Cooking: Complete]
With one hand taking the two cups and the other balancing the heavy bowl of ramen, she backed out to the front of the store. Reaching over the counter she placed a cup of cherry blossom tea in front of Sumika then Naomi, then used both hands to place the heavy bowl of Karaage ramen before the latter."Karaage Bowl. Please enjoy. The tea is on the house, ladies. It's herbal so let me know if you feel warmer than usual."Shiori put a breathy bit of emphasis on the word 'warmer' while looking at Naomi, but this wasn't just about flustering her more. She didn't expect them to start shooting fireballs with every belch, but the tea would infuse just a fraction of fire chakra into their systems for as long as it took them to take a sip and realize their chakra was different.
Not that'd she'd wait around to find out. Popping her head in the back, she collected her pay, was offered to come back and work full time, accepted, and took off for more mischief and growth.

Measured steps had put her on the fastest route to her first stop. It was odd carrying so much equipment on her at once, but not an unwelcome feeling by a stretch. She moved down the streets with a sort of movement that came when one such as her had something specific to do. The time had come to shove her fist into something... to likely kill. This was going to be quite the worthy test of her skill. The shirt she was now wearing came up over both her neck and the lower half of her face. Still, any who looked would be able to see it was indeed Kya. She opened the door and stepped inside, face unreadable but eyes clearly in view. When she saw Naomi there, she kept it simple and sweet. She approached directly, and quickly. "Yasuhiro-sama orders that we meet him in the academy for our mission." Beyond that, she turned giving the girl no further room to speak or respond. She would show up or she wouldn't, and that bothered Kya not. She'd said what she came to say and had no use for conversation, and based on the girl's temperament during their last meet up she was likely the kind to raise a fuss over it. As always, Kya kept to her doctrine of finishing her business and moving on. Once outside the door, she would ponder on where she could find a lazy Nara.

Naomi tensed up, the display making her hotter than tea was. In essence Naomi was basically thirteen when it came to how her hormones were acting up now. Having never had crushes before or really experienced attraction it was kind of a fresh area for the girl. She dug into the ramen rather quickly though ignored the chicken at first. It always worth it when you let the broth soak into it first. Noodles and any of the veggies were quickly and almost silently consumed. By the end she ravenously devoured the chicken while relishing in the taste. It was so good that it left a smile on her face. She was about to start in on the broth when she sensed Kya's presence. Her faced turned to look at the woman before anything had been said. Apparently the girl wasn't here for food... how disappointing. "That so?" The question more of an out loud statement than it was directed at the brusque Kya. Contemplating this news somewhat she weighed the further disappointment of her family against doing what felt right to her. This time family won out in a way, she would hear him but if his plan sounded as bad as handicapping her she'd just call it quits. After finishing off the soup Naomi would pay up before hugging Sumika goodbye. "Sumi-chan, I better go see what he wants... whether or not I stay is up to him I suppose."

Walking into the large Ramen Shop one Nobuyuki Yamana looked around, his single golden eye glancing over the various customers in the shop alongside the people working behind the counter. It hadn't been long since he was promoted to Jounin, so he figured he'd do his own small celebration by ordering some ramen and Sake. Normally he would only eat home cooked meals to keep his physical condition in peak performance, but for today he would splurge and enjoy something different. Sitting down at one of the many tables in the building he grabbed a menu, glancing over it slowly in an attempt to decide what sounded best. The last time he'd had ramen was many years ago; and if he remembered correctly he ordered something along the lines of a pork ramen with extra vegetables, so with that in mind he waited patiently for the person to come take his order, making sure to order a nice bottle of chilled Sake alongside it. As he waited he looked down at the table he was sitting at, idly channeling a small bit of chakra into it through his palm, manipulating the wood within out of boredom to dance around and form random shapes. It didn't take them long to make his food, as a few moments of him messing around it was brought out alongside a decent sized bottle of Sake and a small cup to drink it from. Giving the woman a smile and a thank you he began eating his food slowly, savoring the flavor while glancing around towards the street.

There was an odd rush of speed as a wall, the fourth, was broken, and Kya stepped out of the breach in reality. She placed a hand on her friend from the academy, beckoning him in. "Get in loser, we're gonna spam missions!" And then she'd pull him along to their destination.

Mihoko SuzuGenin - D Rank Ninjutsu/Ninjutsu Class || 505/505 Chakra || 75/75 Stamina ||
Mission: Restaurant Service
Mihoko sighed as she was called in to work for the Ramen Shop. She was figured it was lucky she was just working front of house and would have very little to do with cooking. She smiled as she turned to one of the customers at the place, jotting down their order on a piece of paper. "One shoyu please," the man requested, he regarded her with a strange look on his eyes and Mihoko made a mental note to stay away from him. Mihoko smiled at him, pushing aside the urge to cringe at the male and run away. "Of course, no problem." she replied. She ran over to where the cooks were working and placed the order on one of the pegs they used to keep track of orders. One of the cooks grunted in acknowledgement of her, although they seemed to be more concentrated on the food luckily. [1/3]
She took another dish of Miso Ramen out, she quickly moved out of the cooking area and back to the dining section. She handed it to a young boy who was waiting patiently for his meal, he had a vacant and dead expression on his face as he regarded her with cold, piercing blue eyes. Mihoko gave him a friendly smile as she handed him a set of chopsticks from behind the counter. She was trying her best to not look dead on the inside while she was serving the people, as the manager said it would be bad for business. "Here you go, enjoy your meal." she said in a light and cheerful tone, trying her best to appear friendly. "Don't tell me what to do." the young boy snapped at her. "O-oh." Mihoko didn't know how to respond to the boy. [2/3]
She moved over to a young couple who were sitting next together, she felt like she was intruding on them as the female seemed to give her a somewhat cold stare, like she just walked in on something she shouldn't have. They had their menus down on the table, pushed away from them. Mihoko gave them a small and polite smile as they seemed ready to order. "May I take your order?" she asked, her cheeks still slightly red from the young boy. The female of the couple gave her a wide and cheerful smile. "Yeah the Couple's Bowl." Mihoko quickly wrote it down and put the order out. [3/3]

Restaurant Service [2]
Mihoko didn't like rushing around to help the restaurant, there was very little time for a short break. Mihoko handed a small bowl of food to a young man, he seemed to be rather uncomfortable, like he didn't want to be out in public. Beside him, another young man sat, he seemed more comfortable than the other. The awkward man with auburn hair completely adverted eye contact with her, and seemed preoccupied with looking through the drink menu. The other man who seemed more confident could only sigh and gave her a kind smile."Order of Sukiyaki?" Mihoko questioned, to which the uncomfortable looking male turned around with pink cheeks. "Y-yo," he was trying his absolute best at sounding calm and relaxed. Mihoko handed him his meal and smiled at him, erasing the look of being dead on the inside for a brief moment. "Enjoy your meal," she said in a slightly more lively tone than her usual monotone. "Y-you too." The young male had a look of mortification on his face as he realised what he said. Mihoko giggled politely and moved on. [1/3]
Mihoko moved along to the next table and took their order, they requested some dumplings, which wasn't too hard for them to make. Mihoko moved to the back of house, and put the order down. One of the cooks turned and looked at the new order. "Sh**." He growled with frustration, before yelling orders to the other cooks in the house. It was a busy time for them, and they couldn't afford to have people sick. Mihoko took another order, it was some Curry Bread for the table she was just at. She took the plate and walked over to where the two males seemed to be in discussion, they ceased to talk as she approached and the awkward male looked down at his plate. "Please enjoy your meal." She said with a smile as she handed the curry bread to the dark haired male. He smiled in return. "Thank you." He said with a kind and polite smile. [2/3]
Mihoko got to switch shifts with someone and was now in the position of being the kitchen slave. Her main job was washing up, washing vegetables or delivering food to the cooks. She didn't mind as she was often busy with the ever growing collection of dishes and she didn't have to socialise anymore. She allowed the usual blank expression to take over her face as she ordered younger and less experienced people to fetch the food for the cooks. It was fascinating seeing them at work, she always considered doing some cooking herself, but she was never sure. She scrubbed a dish quickly and placed it on the drying pile, where another worker would dry the dish ready for the cooks to put the meals on. [3/3]

Mihoko SuzuGenin - D Rank Ninjutsu/Ninjutsu Class || 505/505 Chakra || 75/75 Stamina ||
Mihoko Suzu was prepared to start her new job as a cook within the ramen shop. No longer was she just an additional helper, but she managed to actually get a job within the shop. It made her happy that she would be able to develop talents required to be an excellent cook. It would make her family proud knowing that she would be an effective cook. Mihoko began her job with kitchen and food preparation. It wasn't particularly shocking, and Mihoko didn't really mind not being in the intense environment the other cooks were in. She was simply there to make sure the dishes were washed and the food was ready for cooking. [1/3]
Mihoko began by washing the dishes, scrubbing all of the dirt and old food on them. She would scrub hard at them as the sink was full of hot water and soap, as she was had her fire resistance training the heat of the water didn't really bother her. She placed each of the dishes on the dish rack, when that was done she would have to dry them and put them away ready for the other cooks to grab without a moment to lose. She would be prepared to then clean all the other dishes throughout the evening and make sure all the food was ready. It was an intense workload for her to keep track of, and she was sure when the other cooks came in, she would be yelled at. [2/3]
She quickly moved over from all the dishes and grabbed a rag for drying, she carefully scrubbed the dishes ensuring they were clean and dry. She placed all the plates on small stacks for easy transport to the various cupboards and draws, while all the dishes went in a small carry container. She didn't want to get in trouble for not having all of this prepared before she came in, and she wanted to make sure she could keep her job and continue learning. She would have more work after this, something that she somewhat dreaded. Above all else, she couldn't wait until she got home and could take a rest. [3/3]
She considered she was lucky to be able to help out in the hospital, although she wasn't too sure how she would handle it. Mihoko quickly moved all the dishes into the drawers as well as the bowls. She stacked them neatly, hopefully they would be able to appreciate that from her. Mihoko considered learning a few genjutsu before turning up to her next job. Hopefully just something to make sure she would be able to be on par with the rest of her peers.
Mihoko then moved on to the food preparations, she grabbed out the vegetables on the crate and began to carefully chop them. She remembered a time when she was making a pumpkin soup and sliced into her finger, she grimaced and continued to cut the food carefully. She didn't want a repeat of that accident. She kept her eyes focused on the vegetables and used the sharp blades of the knife to slice through the vegetables easily, then putting them in their allocated bowls. [1/4]
She then aligned the bottles of spices and herbs, she kept them in their labelled positions nice and neatly. The herbs hung up above the bottles of spices and she kept multiple of the bottles out, knowing that the cooks may be waiting on different spices. She then pulled out the various kinds of flavouring and sauces used in the meals. She set them alongside the herbs, in a neat and organised line. [2/4]
She then got out the noodles for the ramen and the toppings. She placed the noodles in their respective bowls, and got the noodles cooking in a pot. She kept it on very low so the pot wouldn't overflow and so the noodles wouldn't go funny. Mihoko placed the toppings on the bottom centre island, knowing that the majority of the cooks would need to be getting their toppings quickly and easily. [3/4]
She then washed the chopping board, knowing she would need it for the finer meats. She then got out the collection of meat, putting it on the freshly washed chopping boards, slicing and dicing them easily. She cut them into the various sectioned pieces they would need. She then put the various meats that would need marinating or tenderising into the respective pots and got out the freshly marinated or tenderised meats. [4/4]
Kitchen Preparations and Food Preparations [1] - Complete
Mihoko continued washing the dishes as more and more customers came in, she seemed to have to frequently move between washing and drying dishes, she couldn't be washing up for too long or otherwise there would be no dry plates or bowls left. She was continuously moving between the stations and making sure that the plates were rigorously washed. It was going to be a long shift, that much she could tell. [1/3]
Mihoko rushed to collect the empty bowls, and began to continue washing them in the soapy water. A cook complained that his knife was blunt and handed it to the female, demanding that she sharpened it immediately. The female rushed over to where the blades were sharpened and ran the blade through the odd machine a few times. She then rushed out steadily with the knife, making sure not to accidentally stab herself or anyone else with the freshly sharpened blade. She handed it back to the cook and rushed back over to continue washing up. [2/3]
She finally managed to make an impact on the pile. The various glasses and cups used for drinks were put away and the plates and bowls were effectively stored. But they just kept on coming in, she was feeling overwhelmed by the situation of constantly rushing around and doing everything. Mihoko managed to slowly, but surely manage to get the pile down as the flow of customers became more steady. [3/3]
She moved on to food preparations as the cooks were loudly complaining about the lack of resources. She rushed out to grab more of the vegetables and began furiously chopping, the cooks came right up to her work station and just took the vegetables without asking. She figured it was a bit rude, but she didn't bother complaining about it, she had too much to do and she couldn't waste time complaining. [1/4]
She dashed around, as all of the vegetables were freshly chopped and placed into new bowls. She made sure they were all neatly organised so the cooks could find them easily. She weaved between the various people moving through the kitchen, back to her station where she would begin to gather the various herbs and meats. [2/4]
Mihoko pulled out the herbs and the sauces, moving over to where they were stationed and refilled them, various cooks ran up and took the herbs and sauces as she placed them down. Mihoko felt a bit overwhelmed by the situation as they furiously rushed around in order to cook the large amount of meals they were busy with. Mihoko ran back in order to get out the tenderising and marinating meat. [3/4]
Mihoko carefully pulled out the meat from the slow cooking oven, the large iron stick was hot and she placed it over the large plate in order to sheer some of it off. She cut down on it, leaving the meat in soft and tender shreds. She cut down to the bone, before she put it back in so they wouldn't use it all at once or waste anything. [4/4]
Kitchen Preparation and Food Preparation [2] - Complete
Mihoko rushed over to where the collection of blunt knives were, running them over in a container in order to individually sharpen each and every one of them. The cooks were meticulous about their knives being sharp enough, and she had to put through various of each and every kind of knife that was used for cooking. She could hear the grumbles from other cooks about their knives not being sharp enough and her heart pounded with anxiety. [1/3]
She ran them through the machine carefully, slicing against the machine and then putting them in a different container so the cooks would have access to them. She admired the gleam off of some of the knives as she placed them in, but she also didn't want to be stuck dealing with the knives the whole time. Mihoko placed them all in the container neatly. [2/3]
As she exited the area for sharpening knives, she was automatically bombarded by other cooks complaining about their dull knives. Mihoko ran to put the knives back and looked at the large group of them. "I just put down new knives, I need to go in the Storage Room, I'll deal with it soon." She promised as she dashed out behind the kitchen into where the various storage rooms were. [3/3]
She entered the meat room, it was pitch dark in there as the doors closed behind her. They were not allowed to have the door open while the lights turned on. She waited in the dark for a moment as she stood in there, she couldn't see anything in front of her. Suddenly, the lights flickered on in the freezing room to reveal the various amounts of meat. [1/4]
She did the simple things first, grabbing the already cut up portions and putting them in a basket, preparing them for later on when she would have to prepare them. She grabbed the various bits of chicken, mince and beef that would be required. She then grabbed a leg of lamb that they needed and she would need to tenderise and marinate after she was done with their blunt knives again. [2/4]
She then moved on to where a rather large cow was, they complained that they needed it hung up, and demanded that she did it. So Mihoko attempted to life up the large animal, it was incredibly heavy and just dead weight. She felt horrible about lifting up it's skinned and meaty form. But she grabbed the larger sections and began to manage to hook them up. [3/4]
After the cow meat was all hung up, she grabbed her basket of meat and walked out of the meat room, she turned off the light and shut the door behind her. She moved out into the kitchen where the cooks seemed to be relatively quiet about their knives. Instead they were complaining about the lack of meat for them to cook. [4/4]
Kitchen Preparation and Food Preparation [3] - Complete
Mihoko sighed and grabbed the various pieces of meat, organising them neatly so she would be able to cook them peacefully. Other cooks had gone out for a smoke, so naturally those left were getting very antsy about not having enough help or ingredients. Mihoko washed a cooking board and grabbed one of the only sharp knives left to get to work. [1/4]
Mihoko began with the chicken, she cut into the delicate chicken breast and made it into special little tender shapes. She made sure some were cut up small and some were large for various types of meals. She carefully put some in bread crumbs and passed them off to the chefs for them to make tempura with. She marinated others with various herbs and sauces, she left them to simmer in a pot. [2/4]
She grabbed the meats and began to ground the beef, making it soft and tender as she put various herbs into other sections. She was dealing with about seven pounds of beef as she sectioned pieces off into different meals, she made sure they were in their respective pots so that the cooks would be able to easily find them. [3/4]
She then moved onto making sure that the marinated and tender meat was enough for the cooks, she pulled out the same leg from before and sat it over the plate. She began to sheer off pieces of meat down to the bone, and once she reached down there, she put the leg away and knew she had another task waiting for her once she was done. [4/4]
Kitchen Preparation and Food Preparation [4] - Complete
Mihoko took the new basket full of blunt knives that the cooks had deemed unworthy, she didn't understand how they went through so many knives so easily. She quickened her pace and walked to the room where she was allowed to work on the knives in peace, without being bombarded with one hundred new requests, unless someone screamed it very loudly. [1/3]
Mihoko started up the machine carefully, and ran the knives through them carefully. She did it at a slower pace than usual for a chance to actually relax for once. She sighed and sat down as she made sure the knives were sharpened on automatic mode. It was slower, but it would be good for her to take a small break before she was given many different requests. [2/3]
Mihoko heard the knocking on the door, and with a grumble she began to do it manually, quickly moving through the pile of knives. They glistened under the artificial lights. Mihoko placed them quickly in the basket, knowing that the cooks would begin complaining very loudly soon. She opened the door and placed the newly sharpened knives down. [3/3]
She then heard more complains about the herbs and the sauces running out again, as well as the vegetables. She took a deep breath in and she walked over to the storage room and pulled out the crate of various herbs and spices, she moved them over to her work bench and began chopping up the herbs so they would be able to be used for cooking as soon as possible. She placed them into bowls, which were quickly taken by the cooks to put on the table. [1/4]
She soon placed the ones that they hadn't taken on the table alongside of them, and moved the spices in separate bowls. She had worked hard on making sure they wouldn't go without for long. She squeaked as she dodged a much large cook than herself move by. She walked through to the storage room and then grabbed as many sauces as she could gather in order to place them with the herbs and spices. [2/4]
As soon as she placed the sauces down, she made the long walk back to the storage room to grab more toppings and vegetables. She grabbed a large crate of vegetables and put them on her work bench. Mihoko then retreated to grab the packets of toppings and placed them in their respective bowls. She was swarmed as soon as they saw the toppings, although she quickly moved away from them and made sure the bowls were properly full. [3/4]
Mihoko then moved over to the vegetables and sighed, she took the various vegetables and organised them. She then washed the chopping board to prevent contamination and began to chop furiously, although carefully. She moved the freshly diced and sliced vegetables into their bowls and ran them over to where their proper place was. [4/4]

༺ Honō Hokorii༻tab [ "A supplement to all others, yet weak on its own." ]tab
金繕い
Honō stood outside the ramen stand, his white and blue robes stark against the wooden backdrop. He had a small, contented smile on his lips, lulled forward by the smell of delicious, hearty food being prepared within the stand. Hearty, hot meals were the common servings in the Hari clan member's personal household, based up in the mountains, dressed up in their heavy clothing. Down here in Konoha, the entire culture was so different yet similar, sometimes it through the Worker for a loop.
装 : Thigh-length, white, cotton haori has its sleeve cuffs edged in a blue strip of cotton. The hakama is cotton as well, with a gradient dye, going, top-down, white to a matching blue. The string ties, or 'himo,' are strands of glass beads, clear in colour and translucent. A matching necklace of these beads is worn around the neck. Underneath the haori, held up by a belt disguised under the tie of the hakama, are several pouches and a blade that, in any normal person's hand, would be would be described as a short sword. The hilt was clearly carved by hand, made of bone, yellowed with age. The blade bore jagged edges on the backside ( a boning edge ) while the other was razor sharp, curved wickedly at the end to act as a gutter. Stamped in the centre of the blade was a bear's paw surrounded in strangely shaped leaves. Traditional tabi, are also worn, marking this individual more of a civilian than a Kumogakure shinobi.
動 : When conversing, their eyes rarely meet the other person's, instead respectfully resting just beneath them, usually on the cheek bones. The walk with a demure air, posture relaxed and steps quiet, as though not to disturb. The hands are often clasped in front of them, as a servant does.
The streets of Konoha were unfamiliar, but Kagerou found her way. At first, with the help of helpful strangers who would answer her questions about directions. Then, as she got nearer, by the smell of delicious food wafting from the stand. Konohagakure's famous ramen. She remembered, in the distant past, eating here with her parents when they visited Konoha on a vacation when she was young. She didn't remember the taste, but that was okay. She was just about to eat some right now, after all.
In the final stretch of her journey to this ramen stand, Kagerou suddenly found that she didn't even need to use her nose. There he was, the absurdly tall and white acquaintance she had just met today. Kagerou's smile grew wide enough to cause her eyes to squint when she saw how he waited. His relaxed, conservative smile didn't show much anticipation, but she saw that small lean forwards. It didn't look like he was trying to make himself appear shorter this time, but instead, it was almost as if he couldn't wait to enter the stand and order some food for himself.
"Hono," Kagerou called out in greeting when she got close enough, "so you came. I'm glad." Her hand waved in the air, helping Hono locate her from the other people milling about in the streets.
Once she had really reached him, she didn't make him wait any longer to take a seat. She held up the stand's banners and stood to the side for Hono to enter. "Let's go in," she made the obvious intentions clearer then asked out of curiosity, "Do you enjoy ramen, Hono?".
