My older sister is Kushina

Konoha Village, the home of the Fourth Hokage, Minato Namikaze.

Whirlpool Hanamichi held the little blond baby, who was about a month old, and gently rocked him.

Little Yellow Hair seems to have a bad temper lately, bursting into tears at the drop of a hat. He just had a good cry not long ago, and now he's finally quieted down, staring at the swirling flower path with his blue eyes.

Normally, Whirlpool Flower Path would come to see his little nephew every two or three days.

After about a month of recuperation, Kushina Uzumaki is basically in good health.

Xiaoyuzi came along too; this was her second time visiting the Fourth Hokage's house.

When she used to play ninja games with other children, the Hokage was undoubtedly the character they admired the most. In her mind, the Hokage was a high and mighty being. However, after meeting Minato Namikaze, she changed her mind. She realized that the Hokage was actually very approachable.

Kushina Uzumaki was very fond of her younger brother's apprentice, Tamako: "Tamako, you can come and play here often when you have time."

Tamako glanced at her master, Uzumaki Hanamichi, and then nodded to Kushina.

Soon after, Uzumaki Hanamichi left the Fourth Generation's house with Tamako and headed towards the Midnight Diner, which would be open for business that night, so the master and apprentice needed to prepare in advance.

Before long, the two arrived at the Midnight Diner.

Upon entering the Midnight Diner, Xiaoyuzi immediately got busy.

She has been at the Midnight Diner for more than half a month and is familiar with all aspects of it. Now she has become the little master of the Midnight Diner.

Whirlpool Flower Path quickly became busy as well.

The late-night diner opens at 8 p.m.

Although the late-night diner isn't as popular as it was in its first few days, it still attracts a steady stream of customers, especially between 8 and 10 p.m., when there are sometimes queues.

Although the evenings were busy, Whirlpool Flower Path was enjoying themselves.

Making delicious food is a pleasant thing for him.

Xiaoyuzi flitted around the shop like a happy little swallow.

After 10 p.m., the number of diners gradually decreased.

Whirlpool Flower Path is still busy; he's trying to create a new drink.

The menu at Midnight Diner changes almost every day, partly due to the ingredients, and partly because the whirlpool flower is constantly being updated.

The drink he made today wouldn't be considered innovative on Earth.

He made a grass jelly milk tea.

Back on Earth, he had learned how to make grass jelly from a master and had mastered the art. However, he made many changes in this ninja world. One issue was the limited availability of ingredients; the other was the taste. The flavor of the milk tea had to be adapted to local conditions. For example, in Konoha, most people didn't like overly sweet food, so the sugar ratio needed to be adjusted accordingly.

Currently, the whirlpool flower path is still in the experimental stage.

"The taste seems alright!"

Whirlpool Flower Path tasted the freshly made grass jelly milk tea.

He quickly ladled out a bowl and then beckoned to Xiaoyuzi, who was not far away: "Xiaoyuzi, come here and try the drink your master has just developed."

Xiaoyuzi walked over with anticipation.

Whirlpool Flower Path delivers the grass jelly milk tea to Xiaoyuzi.

Without hesitation, Xiaoyuzi immediately picked up the spoon and began to taste it.

Whirlpool Flower Path: "How does it taste?"

Xiaoyu nodded quickly: "It tastes very good, Master. The stuff inside is a bit like pudding."

Whirlpool Flower said, "Hmm, this is called Immortal Grass."

Normally, Tamako is also a guinea pig for the Whirlpool Flower Arrangement culinary experiments.

At 2 a.m., Uzumaki Hanamichi and Tamako finished packing and left the Midnight Diner together.

The night is quite beautiful tonight.

In the night sky, the stars shone brightly, like inlaid gems.

As Xiaoyuzi walked, she looked up at the beautiful night sky and exclaimed, "Master, the stars are so beautiful!"

Whirlpool Flower Path looked up and nodded: "Yes, Little Jade, let your master teach you a song."

Xiaoyuzi was somewhat surprised: "Master, you can sing too?"

Whirlpool Flower said, "Of course, Master is all-powerful!"

Xiaoyuzi remained noncommittal: "Yes, Master is the most powerful."

Whirlpool Flower Path smiled and patted Little Jade's head.

Soon, cheerful singing filled the quiet street:

Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are!

Hanging in the sky, shining brightly, like many tiny eyes

Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are!

……

Singing a children's song from his memories, Uzumaki Hanamichi's face showed a hint of reminiscence. Twenty years had passed since he came to this ninja world.

Time flies!

The master and apprentice hummed songs all the way.

Only two figures remained on the deserted street, gradually disappearing into the distance.

The next morning, after the two masters finished breakfast, they each left home.

Xiaoyu went to the morning market alone. Previously, Xuanwo Hanamichi had taken Xiaoyu to the morning market many times and taught her the skills of purchasing ingredients. In the past few days, he had specially let Xiaoyu go shopping by herself.

Based on the tests of the past two days, Xiaoyuzi has been able to basically complete the task of purchasing goods at the morning market.

Uzumaki Hanamichi is now intentionally cultivating Tamako's personal abilities. The little girl can't always rely on him; one day she'll grow into a young woman.

After leaving home, Uzumaki Hanamichi first went to the Hokage's office.

Minato Namikaze was a very diligent Hokage.

Since returning to Konoha, Uzumaki Hanamichi has discovered that this guy is a workaholic.

In the Hokage's office, Uzumaki Hanamichi reports to the Fourth Hokage on the latest missing persons cases.

There hasn't really been much progress; it's just a matter of giving a report periodically.

Soon after, Uzumaki Hanamichi left the Hokage's office and went to the Anbu.

The Dark Division has been quite busy lately, and on top of that, he also has to secretly investigate missing persons cases. Uzumaki Hanamichi, the seemingly idle captain, is actually the busiest one in private.

It wasn't until dusk that Uzumaki Hanamichi left the Anbu and headed to the Midnight Diner.

When he arrived at the Midnight Diner, a look of surprise appeared on his face, because the door was locked, which meant that Xiaoyuzi should not be in the store.

Normally, Xiaoyuzi would be in the shop at this time.

Whirlpool Flower Path opened the shop door and went inside to take a look, and indeed there was no sign of Tamako.

"Is it at home?"

Whirlpool Flower Path quickly closed the door and headed home.

Before long, Uzumaki Hanamichi returned home, but still couldn't find Tamako.

"Where did the little girl go?"

Whirlpool Flower Path quickly returned to the Midnight Diner and asked around among the acquaintances nearby. They told him that Tamako didn't seem to have come to the restaurant today.

Upon receiving the confirmation, Uzumaki Hanamichi felt a vague sense of unease; this situation was clearly very unusual.

Afterwards, Hanamichi searched for Tamako's whereabouts in the village, but he couldn't find the little girl even after searching most of the village.

"Missing?"

A bad thought arose in Whirlpool Flower Path's mind.
