My older sister is Kushina

Before you knew it, it was eight o'clock.

Kakashi Hatake, Might Guy, Kurenai Yuhi, and Asuma Sarutobi were still enjoying their hot pot, their heads covered in sweat, feeling quite refreshed.

The group enjoyed their meal immensely.

Whirlpool Flower Path checked the time, then hung lanterns at the shop entrance, marking the start of the business.

The nights in Konoha have been rather quiet lately, with few people on the streets.

However, just as Uzumaki Hanamichi sat down back in the shop, a figure walked in.

Welcome!

When Uzumaki Hanamichi saw the newcomer, his expression shifted slightly. The newcomer had long, light yellow hair tied in a ponytail, thin, short eyebrows, and bright brown eyes. What was most striking was his voluptuous figure.

Tsunade!

Uzumaki Hanamichi never expected that his first customer would be his former dream girl—Tsunade!

Is it fate?

He didn't hesitate: "Lady Tsunade, what would you like to eat?"

The seating area at Midnight Diner is divided into two sections: one is a small table area for four people, like the one with Kakashi Hatake, and the other is a bar-like area surrounding his open kitchen, suitable for single diners.

Tsunade sat down directly at the bar.

She seemed a little down today, with a hint of worry between her brows.

Tsunade glanced around and, noticing there was no menu on the wall, asked, "Do you have any alcohol here?"

Uzumaki Hanamichi nodded: "Lady Tsunade, what kind of sake would you like to drink?"

Tsunade said, "Something stronger."

Uzumaki Hanamichi thought for a moment, then said, "I wonder if Lady Tsunade would like to try a cocktail?"

Tsunade looked slightly puzzled: "A cocktail?"

Whirlpool Flower Path explained, "This is a mixed drink made on-site, which can be exclusively made according to the customer's taste. It is usually made by mixing two or more kinds of alcohol or beverages and fruit juices, resulting in a richer taste."

Tsunade looked curious: "Alright, let's try a cup then."

Uzumaki Hanaka said, "Then please wait a moment, Lady Tsunade."

Then, Uzumaki Hanamichi began mixing cocktails. Because Tsunade wanted it to be strong, he used shochu as the base spirit, along with low-alcohol sake and fruit juice, and added ice.

Soon, a bright red cocktail was ready.

Uzumaki Hanamichi presented the finished cocktail to Tsunade, politely saying, "Lady Tsunade, here is your cocktail."

Tsunade looked at the bright red cocktail in front of her, a hint of anticipation appearing in her eyes.

Without hesitation, she raised the wine glass to her lips.

She pursed her red lips slightly.

Immediately afterwards, a hint of surprise appeared between her brows.

Uzumaki Hanamichi: "Lady Tsunade, how are you feeling?"

Tsunade put down her wine glass: "It tastes very good. Does this wine have a name?"

Whirlpool Flower said, "Your cup of wine is called Fiery Red Lips."

Tsunade murmured, "Flaming red lips!"

Uzumaki Hanamichi recommended, "Lady Tsunade, drinking alone is a bit monotonous. How about some barbecue? Alcohol and barbecue are a perfect match. You are our first official customer, so this meal is on you. I hope you enjoy it."

Tsunade's beautiful face showed considerable surprise: "The first guest?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Kakashi Hatake and the others.

Kakashi Hatake and the others were enjoying a hot pot meal when Hanamichi Uzumaki was mixing drinks, and they all respectfully greeted Tsunade.

Whirlpool Flower said, "These are my friends. I came here today to help out, so this is a small reward for them."

Tsunade didn't seem to care, but asked curiously, "What are they eating?"

Whirlpool Flower Path: "Mandarin Duck Hot Pot".

Tsunade said, "It looks pretty good."

Whirlpool Flower Path: "If you'd like to try, I can make it for you right now."

Tsunade shook her head: "No need, maybe next time. Just give me some barbecue instead."

Uzumaki Hanamichi: "Okay, Lady Tsunade, please wait a moment."

Tsunade hummed in agreement, then continued to savor her fiery red lips.

Whirlpool Flower Path immediately prepares for the barbecue.

Soon, a series of exquisitely decorated barbecue dishes were served in front of Tsunade.

Three large lamb skewers, two chicken skewers, a grilled saury, and a piece of grilled corn on the cob...

Tsunade drank alcohol while eating barbecue.

Without realizing it, she felt that her mood had improved a lot.

Delicious food seems to be able to temporarily cure everything.

While Tsunade was enjoying her meal, a young girl entered the restaurant.

The girl was none other than Ayame, the daughter of Uncle Ichiraku.

Although Uzumaki Hanamichi didn't tell Ayame that she was opening for business today, her family's ramen shop wasn't far from this Midnight Diner, and she was just surprised to find out that the Midnight Diner had opened.

So she greeted her father, Yile, and ran straight over.

Upon entering the shop, Ayame greeted Whirlpool Flower Arrangement warmly, and complained somewhat, "Flower Arrangement Master, why didn't you tell me you were opening?"

With a smile, Hakuzo Hanamichi explained, "Today is just a soft opening. What would you like to eat? It's on me."

Ayame flashed her signature smile: "Okay, I want to eat sushi!"

Back then, Uzumaki Hanamichi's sushi restaurant was a household name in Konoha, and she often frequented that restaurant. After Uzumaki Hanamichi left Konoha, she hadn't eaten Uzumaki Hanamichi's sushi for more than three years and missed it terribly.

Uzumaki Hanamichi nodded: "Alright, please have a seat. How about a glass of juice?"

Ayame, however, curiously observed Tsunade's fiery red lips not far away, noticing how much she seemed to enjoy it; it looked like it was very delicious.

Whirlpool Flower said, "That's wine, it's a bit strong. Would you like a glass?"

Changpu quickly replied, "No need."

Whirlpool Flower said, "How about this, I'll get you a cocktail of fruit wine, that should suit you."

Changpu nodded.

Whirlpool Flower Path quickly served Iris a glass of blue cocktail, mainly fruit juice with a touch of low-alcohol sake and a dash of mint.

Changpu looked at the blue drink in front of her with great anticipation.

Whirlpool Flower said, "Try it, I added a little bit of sake."

Changpu immediately picked up her wine glass and took a small sip; the cool sweetness exploded in her mouth almost instantly.

A feeling that's hard to describe!

"Master of flower arrangement!" said Acorus calamus with delight. "This is truly delicious!"

Whirlpool Flower Descent confidently replied, "Of course!"

At this moment, the whirlpool flower path has already begun making sushi for the iris. The sushi ingredients have been prepared in advance, and only the final preparation is needed.

Soon, Whirlpool Flower Path made four pieces of sushi, each with a different flavor.

He placed four pieces of sushi on a small plate and then offered them to Ayame: "Eat first."

Sweet flag said, "Thank you, Master Flower Arrangement!"

Tsunade glanced at the sushi and said, "I'd like some sushi too."

Uzumaki Hanamichi smiled and said, "Alright, Lady Tsunade, please wait a moment!"
