Naruto: Beauty or Food?

Nara Shikamaru has a secret that isn't much of a secret. Why put it that way? First of all, that guy Naruto definitely doesn't know. Sasuke might vaguely remember, but he was too young back then. Besides, at the time, it was as if he'd been trapped in an Infinite Tsukuyomi where only he and his big brother, Uchiha Itachi, existed. As for Neji, the genius of the previous generation who was considered Sasuke's equal, and Gaara, all the way over in Sunagakure, they know even less since they never crossed paths... So when Shikamaru watched his big treasures, all familiar in different ways and with equally tsundere personalities, get brought home one after another by his older sister, Nara Jizhu, for dinner, the house turning into a lively cafeteria with ninjutsu flying everywhere, he couldn't take it anymore and ran away from home! And on the road, hugging a rice cooker as he ran away, he ran into the jounin Genma Shiranui, who'd brought his own bowl and chopsticks to mooch a meal; Teacher Kakashi, shamelessly eating for free; the Blue Beast, who'd seized the moment to bring his own disciple along; a rogue from the Akatsuki art division, soaring flamboyantly with a giant bird perched on his head; and a follower of the Jashin Cult, trailing behind with a scythe and complaining that his teammates were docking his pay. Nara Shikamaru was completely dumbfounded! And Uchiha Itachi! Stop using your crows to call me an idiot! Nara Jizhu, daughter of Nara Shikaku and a member of the Nara clan, stood out during the Chunin Exams for her beauty and was chosen by the daimyo of the Land of Waves to take the place of the late Princess Koyuki and ease the daimyo's grief over losing his daughter. One day, an immortal, who was actually me, the author, suddenly gave her an illustrated guide to Chinese cuisine in a dream. From then on, she developed Chinese dishes in the daimyo's kitchen and became a culinary genius in the ninja world. That's the story! I posted a chapter and lost a favorite. This is too hard. Theme: Diligence and hard work.
