By the time Kakashi finished speaking, Ruri had already walked over to them with the pot.
"What were you talking about just now?" Ruri looked at Uchiha Itachi and asked him with a smile.
Hearing Ruri's question, Uchiha Itachi replied, "Nothing much. The captain just said we have to eat some meat every day from now on. Only then will we have enough energy to keep us moving all day!"
Ruri nodded, then smiled at Kakashi. "That's right, but eating nothing but meat won't do. We need vegetables too. A balance of meat and vegetables is best. Leave this sort of thing to me from now on. I'll be in charge of finding food!"
Kakashi gave a slight nod at Ruri's words, then smiled at him. "All right, then I'll leave finding food to you from now on. What's in your pot?"
Ruri lowered his head and glanced into the pot, then looked up and said to Kakashi and the others, "The rabbit, of course. I just cut the whole thing into chunks and put it in. Tonight we're having rabbit stewed with radishes! You know, I used to make this dish all the time. It'll definitely be delicious!"
"And this soup has both meat and vegetables. I'm sure we'll feel energetic tomorrow after eating it. It also provides plenty of energy, enough to keep us moving and maintain our stamina all day tomorrow!" Ruri told them with a smile.
"Oh, really? I never expected you to know how to cook too! Then I'll have to get a good taste of your cooking later!" Kakashi said to Ruri with a smile.
At that moment, Uzuki Yugao, who had been sitting to one side, stood up, walked over to Ruri, and took the pot from his hands with both of hers.
