In the pub, Jiraiya, Tsunade and Orochimaru sat side by side.
"I miss it so much. The last time the three of us drank like this was a few years ago?" Jiraiya said with a laugh after taking a sip of wine.
"It was around the end of the Second Ninja World War." Tsunade drank the wine in the glass and said after briefly recalling the past.
After the Second Ninja World War, they each went about their own business.
"Jiraiya, after so much time, have you found the student who can change the ninja world?" Orochimaru picked up the appetizer and ate it before asking.
"Haha, that's a good question. I don't know either." Jiraiya replied with a smile.
The prediction of the Great Toad Immortal was too vague, and he didn't know whether there really was a Child of Destiny among the students he had taught.
"I don't know how you can still say that with such confidence, you're just as dumb as ever," Tsunade complained.
"He's just looking for trouble." Orochimaru was not surprised by Jiraiya's answer.
He believed that it was absolutely impossible to change the entire ninja world with personal strength. Even someone as powerful as the God of Ninja, Hashirama Senju, could not do it. After his death, the ninja world would remain the same.
"I'm just looking for trouble, but who are you? You want to learn all the ninjutsu in the world to gain immortality? That's impossible. No matter how much you study, human life will not be eternal." Jiraiya retorted unceremoniously.
"Instead of studying immortality, it is better to find a pleasing successor to pass on your ninja way. This way, although you are dead, you are still alive in another way."
"No matter how nice it sounds, a dead person is dead. Saying they're still alive in your heart is just nice talk to comfort a child." Orochimaru retorted calmly.
He had witnessed many deaths since he was born, and his parents died when he was just a child.
During the Second Ninja World War, Orochimaru was already an outstanding jonin and had led many Konoha ninjas to carry out important war missions. During this period, he witnessed many of his subordinates die before his eyes.
However, what touched Orochimaru the most was the death of his disciple Nawaki.
Nawase is both his disciple and Tsunade's younger brother. Although he is Orochimaru's disciple, the personalities of Nawase and Orochimaru can be said to be almost opposite. Orochimaru always has a stern face, while Nawase always has an excited and enthusiastic smile on his face.
Although their personalities are very different, Orochimaru likes this disciple very much. The fact that he doesn't smile doesn't mean he can't stand others smiling. In fact, Orochimaru feels extremely comfortable when teaching Nawaki.
But the Ninja World War was too cruel. During a night mission, Nawaki accidentally fell into an explosive trap because he was in a hurry to catch up with the enemy, and died on the spot in front of Orochimaru.
From then on, Orochimaru knew one thing: humans are very fragile creatures, so he had to study ninjutsu to the extreme to make himself less vulnerable.
Listening to Orochimaru's words, Tsunade recalled some bad memories and drank several glasses of wine.
"You are becoming more and more cruel." Jiraiya sighed after hearing what Orochimaru said.
"Your idea is too naive." Orochimaru said after taking a sip of wine.
"A fool with naive ideas and a fool who can't speak." Tsunade chose to confront both of them together.
The three of them chatted for a long time while drinking and eating. Although they spent a lot of time arguing with each other, the overall atmosphere was still good.
"Haha, I'm quite happy today. Do you want to continue drinking tomorrow?" Jiraiya asked with red cheeks when he finished.
"No time. I have to study ninjutsu tomorrow night." Orochimaru rejected Jiraiya's invitation.
"No, if you hadn't invited me today, I would have eaten the chicken dish made by Mu Yue." Tsunade also refused very directly and decisively.
Are you kidding? She changed her mind just to eat the chicken made by Mu Yue. How could she possibly go and have a drink with Jiraiya?
"That is indeed a big loss. After all, it was Mu Yue's cooking." Jiraiya touched his chin and nodded in agreement.
"Mu Yue?" Orochimaru looked thoughtful when he heard Jiraiya and Tsunade discussing this name.
However, what he was thinking about was not the legend of some cooking god, but the content of the Konoha newspaper and the communication between Danzo and him.
He happened to be working in the Root organization on the day the Konoha newspaper was published, and when Danzo saw the content of the newspaper, he couldn't hold back his excitement.
Originally thought to be just an insignificant shrimp being poached, but it turned out to be an outstanding jonin who could make contributions in the battle against the tailed beasts.
Danzo immediately couldn't help but use his authority to obtain a detailed report of the battle and learned how Mu Yue had made contributions in the war.
If Orochimaru remembered correctly, this Hanyu Muyue was good at using combination ninjutsu, which was very powerful.
After a brief recollection, Orochimaru lost interest. He was now studying ninjutsu not those ordinary ninjutsu of the five major properties, but those ninjutsu with more special effects.
…
When Tsunade woke up again, it was already noon.
Feeling a little hungry, Tsunade walked out of the room and called out, "Shizune, I'm so hungry, is there anything to eat?"
"I'm doing it, please wait a moment, Lady Tsunade." Shizune responded.
Tsunade simply washed up and smelled a faint floral scent when she passed by the table. Then, based on the smell, she locked onto two packaging bags on the table that contained unknown contents.
Since she was a little hungry, Tsunade curiously opened one of the packages and stuffed the pastry into her mouth.
"It's actually quite delicious. Is it a newly developed dessert?" Tsunade opened the second package, stuffed the pastry into her mouth, and nodded.
"Lady Tsunade, the food is ready." Shizune trotted and put the prepared food on the table.
Then she saw two opened packaging bags.
Jingyin was dumbfounded. Because it was so delicious, she decided to eat another one within 24 hours. In order to prevent herself from being unable to resist the temptation, she deliberately did not bring it with her when she cooked. Unexpectedly...
"Maybe it's just the same bag. Maybe Lady Tsunade would eat other types of desserts," Shizune consoled herself mentally.
Then Jingyin picked up the two empty packaging bags and looked through them carefully. There were still a few pastry crumbs on them.
At this moment, Shizune could no longer comfort herself. There was no doubt that this was the pastry she had placed on the table.
Shizune's face froze, and she stared at Tsunade with lifeless eyes.
"Shizune, what's wrong with you?" Tsunade noticed Shizune's gaze and asked.
"No more."
"What's gone?" Tsunade asked confused.
"The dessert is gone. It was eaten by Lady Tsunade, who doesn't like sweets." Shizune's voice was filled with a hint of resentment.
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
"Oh, it's the two on the table. They taste surprisingly good. Where did you buy them? I'll give you money and you can buy some more." Tsunade showed an expression of sudden enlightenment and was ready to give money to Shizune.
"You can't buy it. That one was made by Teacher Mu Yue herself." Jingyin looked very disappointed.
Seeing Shizune in a low mood, Tsunade also felt a little embarrassed. Although she usually didn't care about such things, she did feel an indescribable sense of guilt for accidentally snatching the candy that a child was looking forward to.
"It's not a big deal. Shizune, you should eat soon. I'll ask him for some when he comes." Tsunade said, quickly thinking of a solution.
"It's not good to trouble Teacher Mu Yue like this." Jingyin shook her head.
Although she really wanted to eat, she felt that it would be a bad thing to bother Mu Yue for no reason.
"What's the big deal? His questions are so complicated and difficult. One hundred thousand ryo per hour is not enough. He deserves some dessert." Tsunade waved her hand to indicate that there was no problem.
At half past twelve, Mu Yue came to Tsunade's house again, but this time she didn't need Jiraiya to lead the way, Mu Yue came by herself.
"Lady Tsunade, today's time is five hours." Mu Yue handed 500,000 taels of banknotes to Tsunade.
Tsunade took the money and threw it to Shizune, then began to answer Mu Yue's questions.
He didn't know if it was Mu Yue's illusion, but he felt that Tsunade was more active today than yesterday. Yesterday, Tsunade slacked off whenever she had the chance.
After five hours, Mu Yue felt the same as yesterday, and still gained a lot.
After the teaching was over, Mu Yue fulfilled her promise and made a chicken dish for Tsunade.
Tsunade, who was curious and had nothing to do, took Shizune to watch Mu Yue cook, wanting to see if the new dish Mu Yue was talking about was a scam.
"Why do you want to smear mud on it?" Tsunade asked Mu Yue who ran into the yard with a puzzled look on her face.
"What if it gets dirty? Will it taste good this way?"
"It won't be dirty, the lotus leaves are wrapped very tightly. As for the taste, you will know after you eat it." Mu Yue replied with a smile.
The chicken dish he was going to make for Tsunade was the famous beggar's chicken from his previous life, which had a very unique flavor.
After putting the beggar's chicken into the simple baking tool made by earth escape, Mu Yue began to prepare other dishes.
I fried some tempura and made some sushi, and then it was time for the inevitable stir-fry. When all the dishes were placed on the table, it looked very sumptuous.
Although many dishes exuded very tempting aromas, Tsunade's attention was still attracted by the largest dish among them, the beggar's chicken.
Tsunade poured herself a glass of sake, which she bought specifically for eating chicken.
"Will it taste good if it's wrapped in mud and roasted?" Tsunade pulled off a chicken leg and took a bite with this doubt.
After taking the first bite, the crispy, tender and rich flavors burst out in Tsunade's mouth. Tsunade's eyes lit up. She had never eaten such delicious chicken.
What followed was a trance, and Tsunade felt as if she had turned into a free pheasant living in the jungle, her mind and body extremely relaxed.
Tsunade didn't say another word until she finished eating the food on the table.
"Muyue, your dessert is delicious. Can you give some to Shizune? She likes it very much." After dinner, Tsunade thought of Shizune.
"No problem, I'll bring some with me when I come to study tomorrow." Mu Yue replied with a smile.
Tsunade fell silent, thinking that her short teaching career would end today.
"Forget it, I'll teach you for another day. It's for Shizune, and it's definitely not because the food is so delicious." Tsunade decided to ask Mu Yue not to come tomorrow.
