My older sister is Kushina

Soon, Uzumaki Hanamichi brought Sarutobi Asuma to the Anbu.

Each squad in the Dark Division has its own separate area, which can be considered an independent office area.

Besides the three members on duty, the rest of the first team were also present. Unless there are special circumstances, the team members are required to report to the secret unit every day.

Hyuga Mai is explaining the affairs of the Anbu to Yuhi Kurenai and Might Guy. The two newcomers still have a lot to learn in the Anbu.

Kakashi Hatake accompanied Kazuki Inuzuka and Shihei Aburame on their guard duty.

Akimichi Fat Thorn sat to the side, leisurely eating and drinking. For him, the happiest thing in the world was undoubtedly enjoying delicious food.

Hirayama Nagao is organizing the materials.

Upon seeing Captain Langya arrive, everyone's attention quickly fell on him and Sarutobi Asuma, who was following behind him with a blade of grass in his mouth.

"Good morning, Captain!"

The team members greeted Wolf Fang.

Sarutobi Asuma glanced at everyone, his gaze quickly landing on Kurenai Yuhi. He raised his hand, waved, and excitedly called out, "Kurenai!"

Kurenai Yuhi was somewhat surprised: "Asuma, what brings you here?"

Sarutobi Asuma chuckled.

Uzumaki Hanamichi nodded to everyone and then said, "Please stop for a moment. Let me introduce our team's new member. This is our new member next to me—Sarutobi Asuma."

Sarutobi Asuma faced the crowd with an arrogant demeanor.

Uzumaki Hanamichi continued, "Asuma, please introduce yourself first."

Sarutobi Asuma nodded and said, "Hello everyone, my name is Sarutobi Asuma, you can just call me Asuma. I'm sixteen years old, my favorite food is sausage, and I hate asparagus..."

His simple self-introduction conveyed a degree of confidence.

After Sarutobi Asuma introduced himself, Uzumaki Hanamichi introduced the rest of the team to him and then handed them over to Hyuga Himaru.

Hyuga Himaru is considered a veteran in the first squad of the Anbu.

Soon after, he quietly left the Dark Division, but left behind a shadow clone.

His shadow clones can last for a long time as long as they are not fatally attacked, after all, the chakra in his body is comparable to that of a tailed beast.

Furthermore, the Shadow Clone Technique he acquired through his ninjutsu research system is more advanced than that of the Second Hokage, because his Shadow Clone Technique allows him to freely control the amount of chakra, rather than distributing it evenly. This allows him to better utilize the Shadow Clone Technique depending on the situation.

After leaving the Dark Side, Uzumaki Hanamichi quickly arrived at the shop.

He has been busy with the design and renovation of the Midnight Diner lately.

While busy running the shop, he also kept watch in the shadows, making life quite easy for Whirlpool Flower Path.

In the blink of an eye, ten days have passed.

After ten days of hard work, Whirlpool Flower Path finally completed the design and renovation of the Midnight Diner.

"We can have a soft opening tonight!"

Whirlpool Flower Path carefully inspected the Midnight Diner inside and out, and after confirming that there were no problems, he planned to have a trial run tonight.

According to his plan, the Midnight Diner will be open from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m.

Before this, he hadn't done any promotion. He only told Kakashi Hatake, Might Guy, and Kurenai Yuhi about the trial opening tonight, and he didn't even tell his sister Shina Uzumaki.

For Hanamichi Uzumaki, running the Midnight Diner wasn't about making money; it was simply about doing something he enjoyed.

At 6 PM, Kakashi Hatake, along with Might Guy and Kurenai Yuhi, arrived at the Midnight Diner.

Besides the three of them, Sarutobi Asuma also came along.

Kakashi Hatake and the others came directly from the Anbu shore, and of course they didn't know that their captain was Hanamichi Uzumaki.

When the group arrived, Whirlpool Flower Path was preparing ingredients for tonight's trial opening.

He bought the ingredients that morning; there weren't many, since it was only a trial operation.

However, there are many kinds of ingredients.

Whirlpool Flower Path: "You guys are a bit early, I haven't even opened for business yet!"

Kurenai Yuhi: "Master of Ikebana, we've come here to see if we can help."

Matt Kai: "Yes, flower arrangement master, just tell us what to do."

Kakashi Hatake nodded.

Sarutobi Asuma, with a blade of grass dangling from his mouth, looked all smug!

Uzumaki Hanamichi smiled and said, "Alright, since you're willing to help, I won't stand on ceremony."

Afterwards, Whirlpool Flower Path instructed the group to do some simple tasks, such as washing vegetables and cleaning tableware.

With the help of Kakashi Hatake and Kurenai Yuhi, Hanamichi Uzumaki found things much easier.

By 7 p.m., the preparations for the trial operation of the late-night diner were basically completed.

Uzumaki Hanamichi looked at Hatake Kakashi and the others and said with great approval, "You've all worked hard. There's still about an hour before we open, so let's treat you first. Let me think, how about a hot pot with two broths?"

Kurenai asked expectantly, "What's a 'Mandarin Duck Hot Pot,' you flower arrangement master?"

The other three also looked curiously at the Whirlpool Flower Path.

Whirlpool Flower said, "You'll find out soon enough what ingredients you particularly want to eat."

Sarutobi Asuma said, "I want sausages!"

Whirlpool Flower Path: "No problem, how about you guys?"

Kurenai asked, "Would octopus be okay?"

Whirlpool Flower Path: "Okay."

Might Guy: "I want to eat ramen!"

Whirlpool Flower Path nodded.

Kakashi Hatake said, "Saury."

Whirlpool Flower said, "Alright, please wait a moment."

Then, the whirlpool flower path became busy.

He first quickly prepared a hot pot base with two broths, then cut up a lot of ingredients, including meat and vegetables, as well as some that the group particularly wanted to eat. However, he planned to prepare Kakashi Hatake's saury separately, but served them tender fish slices instead.

Kakashi Hatake, Kurenai Yuhi, Might Guy, and Asuma Sarutobi sat around a table with a hot pot in the center and a dozen or so dishes of hot pot ingredients around it.

Whirlpool Flower Path prepared dipping sauces according to their preferences and taught them how to eat hot pot.

Kakashi Hatake and the others couldn't wait to try it out, picking up their favorite ingredients and putting them into the boiling hot pot.

They were all very excited to try hot pot for the first time.

Soon, they enjoyed the charm of hot pot. Although they had to cook it themselves, the novelty was unparalleled, and the food tasted amazing.

Kakashi Hatake and Kurenai Yuhi ate hotpot while praising it repeatedly.

Sarutobi Asuma: "Flower arrangement master, could you please bring me another sausage?"

Whirlpool Flower said, "No problem, I'll be right there."

Kurenai Yuhi: "I want more beef rolls, they're so delicious!"

Matt Kai: "I want meatballs!"

Whirlpool Flower Path glanced at the food and saw that most of the dozen or so dishes had already been eaten. He quickly replenished the food for the group with a new batch, and also served Kakashi Hatake's favorite salt-grilled saury.
