Cooking-nin

} are ninja who specialize in cooking. They only work in the Land of Thunder. They walk around in forests and paths outside villages, waiting for hungry ninja to walk past. When they find a hungry ninja team, they make all kinds of good food for them. Hakaku, the only named Cooking-nin, makes such good food that ninja can't stop eating and become fat. Hakaku wanted Teuchi's "Demon" recipe but it turned out to only be the disposal of the bitter taste of the soup.
