"Well, it was in the past." A look of nostalgia appeared on Senju Tobirama's face, "It was the Warring States Period that you have never experienced. At that time... the Senju family, no, not just the Senju family, but the kitchens of all ninja families

They are open all day and all night to work in shifts to prepare for the unexpected needs of the ninjas in the clan."

But now, although their family is still the leader and symbol of the Senju family, they are only "one member" of the Senju clan.

Although there are still many people living in this mansion, many people have indeed been sent away, so——

"Now, there should be only people left behind in the kitchen at this point."

"That's right." Uchiha smiled and nodded, "The chef is getting older and he doesn't like to leave his work to others, so he needs a good rest."

Hearing this, Qian Shu Fei Jian sighed in his heart: Sure enough, people with different temperaments and experiences see the world differently.

He saw the changes of the times,

And she saw how tired people were.

However, it is true...

"The chef has been with us for a long time... It's really great to be able to be in good health and work every day." Senju Tobirama said with a chuckle, "I always feel that even if one day in the future I am not

Even though he has become Hokage, he can still be in charge of the Senju family's kitchen." In other words, he can already be said to be the "Ren Rui" of the Senju family, right?

But this is actually not surprising.

Leaving aside the civilians who live alone, among the ninja clan... ordinary people often live longer than ninjas, after all, the latter's life is to lick blood on the tip of a knife.

"Then..." Ochiha asked curiously, "Go to the kitchen at this time. Is there anything else you can eat?"

"It's common sense," Qianju Tobirama said with a sideways smile, "But with me here, how can I let you eat leftovers?"

"Huh?" Uchiha Daizi was stunned and said subconsciously, "In other words..."

"How about I make you a bowl of noodles?" Senju Tobirama replied with a chuckle, "The mushrooms in this season are very delicious. The kitchen has been stewing matsutake chicken soup recently, and tonight should be no exception. Use this as the base soup, and then

Put some other kinds of mushrooms and give you a bowl of noodles. Finally, sprinkle in a handful of chopped green onions. What do you think?" Well, it should be very suitable for autumn nights, such a warm bowl of noodles?

past……

In such an autumn night,

He once cooked a bowl of hot noodles for his eldest brother like this.

The eldest brother would sit cross-legged on the floor outside the kitchen, eating noodles in a hurry and commenting vaguely——

"As expected of you, Tobirama, it's so delicious! Ogari!"

He deliberately said with disgust, "Don't talk when eating noodles, it's easy to spit out", while taking the huge empty bowl from his elder brother's hand, he turned to serve him the second bowl, and then the third bowl, until he

Eat until full.

Because my eldest brother likes to eat mushrooms.

Therefore, after his eldest brother died, he once felt that he would never cook mushroom-related meals for others in his life. After all, at least in his eyes, it was a symbol of his eldest brother. Whenever he cooked it, he would think of his eldest brother; and apart from his eldest brother

, and he is not willing to do it for anyone else.

Unexpectedly...

I will take the initiative to break it tonight.

Maybe it's because she looks a bit like a big brother, but it's definitely more than that.

Senju Tobirama sighed in his heart: So far, how many "boundaries" have I set for myself that I have broken for her?

Too many to count.

Too lazy to count.

So, he just looked at her with a smile, waiting for her answer.

Uchiha didn't speak, he just swallowed faithfully and fully expressed his thoughts.

——Please, that’s matsutake chicken soup!

——A lot of autumn mushrooms will also be added!

——Not to mention, it’s Tobirama-sama’s craftsmanship!

——So, it will definitely be super delicious.

Senshou Tobirama then raised his hand and rubbed the little girl's head in a good mood, and said softly: "Then let's walk faster." The man who spoke like this seemed to have completely forgotten that he originally wanted to go to the laboratory to sit around when he came back.

things.

"Um!"

After a while, the two of them arrived in the kitchen.

Just as Senju Tobirama said, the chef was no longer there, and only the people who stayed behind came to greet him. He motioned for them to do other things and not to call the chef who should have fallen asleep, and then casually walked from the wall on the side.

He took off a blue apron and hung it around his neck.

Uchiha stepped forward very consciously and tied the belt for him.

He glanced at her with a smile, walked to a row of stoves where stew pots were placed, looked at it, and smelled with the tip of his nose trembling slightly, then he immediately opened the third stew pot from the last on the right and looked down.

Looking at the color of the soup inside, he nodded with satisfaction.

"Okay, that's it for this pot."

After that, he took a spoon and a small bowl from the side, filled up a bowl of soup, chopped a handful of green onions and sprinkled it on top, handed it to the girl standing beside him, and said with a smile: "Here, rice."

Let’s drink a bowl of soup first to warm your stomach.”

"Thank you, Tobirama-sama!" Uchiha took the bowl of soup carefully, scooped up a spoonful of hot soup with a spoon, lowered his head and blew a few mouthfuls before slowly putting it into his mouth. The next second, his eyes suddenly lit up, "

It tastes delicious!” Ah~ she could already imagine how delicious the next noodle would be.

"As long as you like it."

Because he only planned to cook noodles, Senju Tobirama didn't wear an extra headscarf. Then, he selected some mushrooms on the vegetable rack that matched the style of the bowl of soup and added umami flavor. He took them in his hands and walked to the sink to prepare for washing.

However……

When passing by the girl, she grabbed the hem of her clothes.

"Huh?" He turned his head and asked in a particularly gentle tone, "Firefly, what's wrong? You still want to drink? Then just go and serve it yourself. It's okay to eat the whole pot, as long as it doesn't affect your appetite for the rest of the day.

."

"...No." Uchiha blinked and whispered, "Um...Tobirama-sama, this is really delicious..."

"Well, I know, so what?"

"So, so...only I can drink it, isn't it a little cruel?"

Qianju Tobijian: "?" He understood the little girl's meaning in the blink of an eye. He sighed at her tenderness in his heart, but he deliberately said, "But I don't have hands right now. What's wrong? Firefly, you want to feed me with your own hands?"

?”

"...Yeah, that's okay." Uchiha replied decisively, "So...hehehehe..."

Qianju Feijian shook his head helplessly: "Okay, you go get the bowl and spoon yourself and serve it yourself."

"Okay~"

After receiving permission, the girl loosened the hem of the silver-haired Hokage's clothes, happily filled three more bowls of soup, and then...well, gave them to the ANBU seniors who were also on shift.

The latter were not polite either, and made gestures to her one by one, which roughly meant something like this -

I want more matsutake.

I want more chicken.

I just want soup, ah, by the way, no green onions.

Uchiha nodded and obeyed, so...

Soon, the ANBU were also squatting outside the kitchen, drinking hot pine mushroom chicken soup. They thought, well, not bad, the group pet mascot is also playing a stable role today. Haha, other people heard about this,

I’m sure you’ll be very envious~ I’ll show it off later~

And the other side.

After Uchiha quickly drank her bowl of soup, she obviously didn't forget Senju Tobirama who was "hard-working" cooking noodles, so she really found another clean bowl, filled it with soup and put it in

Next to the other party, he scooped up a spoonful of soup, lowered his head and blew it gently, then raised his hand and raised the spoon slightly: "Sir Tobirama, come here, take your share~"

Senju Tobirama: "..." No, he was really just joking just now...

Moreover, while he was doing things, she was feeding her, didn't it just seem like... well, wasn't it too intimate? Hey, if she wasn't so simple and dull, maybe he could secretly look forward to something. However, he clearly knew

You know, she didn't have any distracting thoughts in her heart. She probably just thought that since everyone else drank the soup, it was fair for him to drink it too.

...Sometimes, she was really slow to the point that it made him feel particularly troubled.

And his hesitation at this moment was slightly misunderstood by Uchiha. She apologized and said: "Hey, I'm sorry, Tobirama-sama, I forgot that you have mysophobia, I will change the spoon right now!" Yes, she felt that the other party

It was because she blew on the spoon that he refused to eat. However, she really didn't mean anything else, it was just a subconscious behavior. But at this moment, she realized that she secretly despised herself for something wrong.

Qianju Tobirama: "..." No, that's not what he meant. He was keenly aware that if she really felt like this, then she might start trying to keep an appropriate distance in her life from now on. This would definitely

It's not what he wants. He really can't ask for it, but that doesn't mean he wants to push her away. These are two different things. So...
To be continued...
