My older sister is Kushina

The temporary squad division of the first squad of the Dark Division has been completed. Subsequent missions will be carried out mainly in squad units, with Uzumaki Hanamichi as the captain, overseeing the overall situation.

After the group meeting ended, Hyuga Mai quickly assigned tasks to each class.

The daily affairs of the first squad are mainly handled by Hyuga Hima.

Getting something for free makes people happy!

Of course, Uzumaki Hanamichi isn't completely shameless in his freeloading; sometimes he'll cover for Hyuga Himaru's missions, which can be considered a form of feedback from the captain.

The team members quickly got to work.

Soon after, Uzumaki Hanamichi found an opportunity to slip away, leaving behind a shadow clone.

After leaving the Dark Side, Uzumaki Hanamichi first went back to the Midnight Diner.

The Midnight Diner is not open during the day. He left Xiaoyuzi at the store mainly to let her get used to the environment and at the same time to start learning and practicing some basic skills.

Whirlpool Flower Path gave Tamako some tasks and then left.

During the day, his main task is to fulfill his duties as the captain of the first squad of the Dark Division. Now, his important task is to conduct a secret investigation.

To be honest, conducting secret investigations into missing persons cases is hard work.

It wasn't until dusk that Whirlpool Flower Path returned to the Midnight Diner.

He checked the tasks he had assigned to Xiaoyuzi that morning.

It must be said that Xiaoyuzi has quite a bit of talent, much better than he had expected.

Whirlpool Flower Path didn't hold back his praise, giving Xiaoyuzi a lot of recognition.

Xiaoyu was very happy, and her cute little face was beaming with a smile.

In addition to praise and recognition, Whirlpool Flower Path also pointed out some shortcomings of Tamako, saying that in order to become an excellent gourmet, every detail needs to be perfected as much as possible.

This is not being demanding, but rather a principle.

Whirlpool Flower Arrangement didn't expect Tamako, who had just started learning, to be perfect; she just wanted her to keep improving and progressing.

During this time, Hakudou Hanamichi personally demonstrated the techniques to Tamako on several occasions.

Xiaoyuzi studied diligently.

She hopes that she can become a gourmet like Hanamichi Uzumaki in the future.

Finally, Uzumaki Hanamichi gave Tamako a reward by making her a cake.

A simple fruit cake.

Xiaoyu was pleasantly surprised to see the palm-sized cake in front of her.

Before we started eating, Xiaoyuzi cut the small cake in half: "Master, this is for you."

Uzumaki Hanamichi reached out and patted Tamako's head, smiled, and didn't refuse.

The master and apprentice ate cake together.

At 8 p.m. sharp, the late-night diner opens for business.

The shop quickly became lively as many diners entered one after another.

Whirlpool Flower Path warmly welcomes every diner.

Today, Xiaoyuzi was much more at ease than yesterday, and her cute little face was often adorned with a sunny smile.

The Midnight Diner also welcomed many regular customers, such as Tsunade and Shizune.

Tsunade seems to really like Uzumaki Hanamichi's late-night diner, and she comes here every few days.

Uzumaki Hanamichi naturally welcomed this former dream girl from the Naruto series, and he would always recommend some delicious food to Tsunade.

Tsunade's impression of Uzumaki Hanamichi, the Konoha gourmet, grew deeper and deeper, mainly because Uzumaki Hanamichi almost always produced dishes that amazed her.

As midnight approached, the number of customers at the late-night diner gradually decreased.

Both Hanamichi and Tamako felt much more relaxed.

However, Whirlpool Flower Arrangement took the opportunity to teach Tamako some skills.

Xiaoyuzi has an excellent learning ability, which makes Uzumaki Hanamichi look forward to it. Perhaps Xiaoyuzi will surpass him in the future.

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

Whirlpool Flower Path locked the door, then took Little Jade's hand and walked towards home.

With Xiaoyuzi by my side these past two days, Whirlpool Flower Path feels that life seems to have become more relaxed and enjoyable.

Over the next few days, Uzumaki Hanamichi would assign Xiaoyuzi some tasks every day, all related to basic skills. Although Xiaoyuzi had some talent, everything still needed to start from the basics.

Xiaoyuzi spends most of her time at the Midnight Diner.

Although there is no Whirlpool Flower Path to supervise her, she will try her best to complete the tasks assigned by her master.

Whirlpool Flower Path also sets aside some time each day to teach Tamako.

This has become another part of his daily routine lately.

The master and apprentice became more and more in sync as they spent time together.

Besides her daily skill training, Tamako is also a diligent and thrifty maid who keeps the house in perfect order, which makes Uzumaki Hanamichi's life much easier.

Whirlpool Flower Path was somewhat glad to have taken in Little Jade; the little girl was becoming more and more likable.

The Midnight Diner is not open every day; according to the arrangement of Whirlpool Flower Path, it is closed every few days.

Rest days are the holidays for Uzumaki Hanamichi and Tamako.

Uzumaki Hanamichi took Tamako to see her older sister Kushina and the blond-haired boy, and also took her to towns near Konoha, bought her new clothes, and took her to amusement parks.

Unbeknownst to him, Uzumaki Hanamichi had come to regard Tamako as a member of the family.

Xiaoyuzi has been very happy lately. Although learning the skills requires spending a lot of time doing repetitive things, she enjoys it. Almost every day she receives a reward from her master, such as a delicious meal or a warm pat on the head.

A long-lost sense of kinship welled up within her from the depths of her heart.

From her master, Uzumaki Ikemichi, she seemed to feel a fatherly warmth.

She loves her life now, and if she could, she would wish it to last forever.

During the day, Whirlpool Flower Path's main task is still to play the role of Wolf Fang, the captain of the first squad of the Dark Division. The temporary squad assignment is quite effective, and the mission efficiency is much higher than before.

As the team leader, he usually seems to be doing nothing, but secretly he is conducting a covert investigation into the missing persons cases.

During his visit to the orphanage, Hanamichi Uzumaki discovered some unexpected clues. He initially thought there might be problems among the caregivers, but on a windy, moonlit night, he discovered that an eight or nine-year-old child from the orphanage had secretly slipped out and made contact with a masked man. Through tracking, he discovered that the masked man was actually a member of the "Root" organization.

Afterwards, Hanamichi Uzumaki investigated the child from the orphanage and eventually concluded that the child was also a member of the "Root" organization.

Uzumaki Hanamichi never imagined that the "Root" organization would turn such a young child into a "tool".

However, Uzumaki Hanamichi doesn't yet have any evidence to prove that the orphanage child is related to the missing persons case. But the fact that the orphanage is a major area of ​​missing persons cases, coupled with the information from the previous three generations, has inadvertently increased his suspicion of the "Root" organization.
