My older sister is Kushina

As evening fell, four boys and a girl entered the Midnight Diner.

The newcomers were none other than Kakashi Hatake, Shisui Uchiha, Might Guy, Asuma Sarutobi, and Kurenai Yuhi.

All five of them had just come from the Dark Division.

Although Uchiha Shisui had only been in the first squad of the Anbu for a few days, his social skills were quite good, and he got along well with Kakashi Hatake and the others.

After finishing up their business with the Anbu, Kurenai Yuhi suggested going to the late-night diner of the flower arrangement master.

Kakashi Hatake, Shisui Uchiha, and the others responded enthusiastically. They hadn't been to the Midnight Diner for several days, and the thought of the Flower Arrangement Master's delicious food made them quite hungry.

"Good evening, master of flower arrangement!"

Kakashi Hatake, Shisui Uchiha, and the others greeted Hanamichi Uzumaki.

When Uzumaki Hanamichi saw that it was Hatake Kakashi and the others, he nodded to them.

Kakashi Hatake and the others quickly spotted the small figure not far from Uzumaki Hanamichi. Kurenai Yuhi asked curiously, "Master Hanamichi, who is she?"

Whirlpool Flower Path replied with a smile, "Her name is Xiaoyuzi, and she is my newly accepted disciple."

Matt Kai exclaimed in surprise, "Master of Flower Arrangement, you've even taken on disciples!"

Whirlpool Flower said, "What, can't I take on disciples?"

Matt Kay: "No, it was just a bit of a surprise."

Uzumaki Hanamichi then introduced Kakashi Hatake, Shisui Uchiha, and the others to Tamako.

Xiaoyu was quite surprised to learn that two of the five were Jonin, and the others were Chunin. Born in Konoha, she was very familiar with ninjas. Her father was a ninja, and she often played ninja games with her friends when she was a child. She naturally knew about the ranks of ninjas. Chunin and Jonin were mid-to-high-ranking ninjas in the village. Kakashi and Itachi Uchiha were only a few years older than her, yet they were already Jonin.

Kakashi Hatake, Shisui Uchiha, and the others were very friendly to Tamako and greeted her warmly.

Uzumaki Hanamichi: "What would you guys like to eat today?"

Matt Kay: "I want beef ramen!"

Uchiha Shisui: "I want to eat sushi!"

Kurenai Yuhi: "I want to eat hot pot!"

Sarutobi Asuma: "Sausage!"

Kakashi Hatake: "Sanma!"

Whirlpool Flower Ditch gave a bright smile: "No problem!"

Might Guy: "Flower arrangement teacher, is there anything we can help you with?"

Whirlpool Flower Path: "Help Tamako wipe the table!"

Kakashi Hatake and Might Guy quickly got busy. Their relationship with Uzumaki Hanamichi wasn't that of ordinary diners and owners; it was more like a friendship.

Soon, Uzumaki Hanamichi prepared a series of exquisite dishes and served them on the table, including not only the dishes that Hatake Kakashi and the others wanted to eat, but also other delicious dishes.

Uzumaki Hanamichi and Tamako also joined Kakashi Hatake and the others for a meal.

Before eight o'clock, the group finished their dinner.

Kakashi Hatake and Might Guy originally wanted to stay at the shop to help out, but Uzumaki Hanamichi refused. Although the shop has been very busy lately, they are still able to manage. In addition, he now has Tamako, and Kakashi and the others are already quite tired from their daytime missions, so it's better for them to go back and rest early.

Before leaving, Uchiha Shisui packed a sushi for Uchiha Itachi.

At 8 PM, the late-night diner officially opens for business.

The late-night diner remains popular, with customers coming in one after another, most of whom are repeat customers.

Whirlpool Flower Path warmly welcomes every diner.

The regulars noticed Xiaoyuzi, and the curious ones even asked her about the Whirlpool Flower Path.

Whirlpool Flower Path did not hide anything and introduced them to their newly accepted disciple, Xiaoyuzi.

As the guests thronged around her, Xiaoyuzi was initially a little nervous facing many unfamiliar faces, but she quickly relaxed. Most of the diners were very enthusiastic towards her, the disciple of the flower arrangement master, and affectionately called her "Xiaoyuzi." Although she was constantly busy, she liked the atmosphere.

The master and apprentice were busy until almost midnight before they finally felt a little relieved.

After midnight, there are not many customers at the late-night diner, with only one or two customers occasionally coming in.

Whirlpool Flower said, "Little Jade, you've been busy all day. Sit down and rest. I made you a fruit pudding. Come and try it."

Xiaoyuzi walked to the bar with great anticipation.

Whirlpool Flower Path handed a freshly made fruit pudding to Little Jade: "This is your reward for working hard tonight!"

Little Jade looked at the beautiful pudding and said, "Thank you, Master!"

Whirlpool Flower Path: "Sit down and eat."

Xiaoyu sat down obediently, then gently picked up the small spoon.

The mini puddings are small and not very plentiful, with fresh fruit pieces neatly arranged, a carefully crafted milk pudding in the center with a swirling floral pattern, and a tempting red cherry on top.

Xiaoyu looked at the pretty pudding, unsure of where to begin.

She was afraid that she would ruin such a pretty little pudding if she touched it.

Whirlpool Flower Path said with a smile, "Eat up, it's delicious!"

Xiaoyu nodded, then finally scooped out a small piece with a spoon and put it in her mouth.

It was her first time eating pudding, and the smooth and tender taste almost instantly amazed her, giving her a wonderful feeling that she couldn't describe.

"Is it tasty?"

The swirling flower path looked like it was really enjoying the taste of the little jade.

Xiaoyu nodded quickly and said, "Master, this pudding is so delicious! It's the first time I've ever tasted anything like it."

Whirlpool Flower Path: "As long as it tastes good."

Xiaoyu took a few more bites, then asked, "Master, can you teach me how to make pudding?"

Uzumaki Hanamichi nodded: "Of course you can, but it's not the right time for you to learn. As I told you before, cooking skills need to start from the basics. You should learn the basics first, and then I'll teach you how to make pudding."

Xiaoyuzi: "Yes, Master, I will definitely study hard."

At 2 a.m., the late-night diner closed for the day.

Soon after, Uzumaki Hanamichi led Tamako out of the Midnight Diner and they headed home together.

Back home, Xiaoyu washed up and quickly went to bed and fell asleep.

Whirlpool Flower Path glanced at Little Jade; the little girl must be quite tired after a long day.

He quickly returned to his room.

Whirlpool Flower Path also took a break soon.

The next morning, as soon as he got up, he found that Tamako was already in the kitchen preparing breakfast.

My little maid is really diligent!

Whirlpool Hanamichi was somewhat helpless, but he didn't stop them. Instead, he quickly joined in and taught Tamako some simple cooking skills, such as making porridge, since he preferred to drink porridge for breakfast.

After some busy work, the two finally finished making breakfast.

The main dish for breakfast was porridge, accompanied by pancakes, side dishes, and eggs.

The master and apprentice quickly and happily enjoyed breakfast together.
