Killing his way through the ninja world, starting from being adopted by the second generation!

He took out the novel that Lian Ye had been reading to pass the time.

After an unknown amount of time, Tobirama Senju sensed that Renya had completely fallen into a coma.

He then put down the novel and went to Lian Ye's room.

Looking at the unconscious Renya, Tobirama Senju murmured softly.

"I wonder if this kid has noticed any changes in his body?"

Before he finished speaking, he had already carried Lian Ye away from the Thousand Hands Clan's territory.

Chapter 138 Seafood Noodles

I'm so tired, I feel completely drained...

As soon as Lian Ye opened her eyes, she felt extremely tired.

He didn't think much of it, assuming it was just physical discomfort caused by spending too much time on the battlefield.

After all, it's normal to feel physically exhausted after spending three months on the battlefield.

After washing up, I left the room.

Just then, Tobirama Senju emerged from the room.

Seeing that the other person had dark circles under their eyes and looked like they hadn't woken up yet, Lian Ye couldn't help but ask:

"Uncle, you didn't have insomnia last night, did you?"

Tobirama Senju didn't speak, he just nodded.

He didn't just have insomnia; he didn't sleep at all.

As for why he didn't sleep, that involves personal privacy issues...

"Kid, hurry up and make breakfast, I'm leaving soon."

Senju Tobirama, worried that Renya would ask him about the reason for his insomnia, quickly changed the subject.

"Uncle, what would you like for breakfast?" Lianye asked.

"Rice, grilled fish, miso soup," Tobirama Senju expertly announced the menu.

"No problem." Lian Ye went into the kitchen, tied on an apron, and started making breakfast.

"Add seaweed to the miso soup," Tobirama Senju's voice came from outside. "Also, don't overcook the fish."

"Understood, Uncle," Lianye replied loudly.

Last night, Tobirama Senju not only bought milk, but also the ingredients needed for breakfast today.

It seems this old bastard had planned this all along...

This kind of breakfast is more traditional Japanese and tends to be quite oily.

Rice is the core ingredient, often paired with red beans or mixed grains.

Miso soup contains tofu, seafood, and other ingredients.

As a "juice", it provides protein and has a warming effect on the stomach.

This time, Tobirama Senju specifically requested seaweed sprouts, so there's no need to add tofu or seafood.

The main course is grilled fish, usually salmon or sea bream.

Renya took out the ingredients that Senju Tobirama had bought, and glanced at them; they were sea bream.

After deciding on the ingredients, I started preparing breakfast.

Open the rice container, scoop out two cups of rice and pour them into a clay pot. Rinse the rice twice with water and then place it on the stove.

When the water in the copper kettle boiled, he put the kelp into the pot and cooked it until soft, then took out the thawed saury.

The saury was cleaned before it was purchased.

Lianye doesn't need to spend time dealing with this...

Pat dry with kitchen paper and fry in hot oil until golden brown on both sides.

On the other side, he blanched and chopped the spinach, mixed it with sesame seeds, and took out the pickled yellow radish from the jar and put it in a small dish.

Pickled vegetables are very appetizing and perfect for eating with rice.

Especially when you have no appetite in the morning.

Dissolve miso in warm water, pour it into the pot of simmering kombu, stir well, and then sprinkle with chopped green onions.

Finally, plate the pan-fried saury and garnish with pickled yellow radish and spinach.

Pour the steaming hot miso soup into a bowl and place it on a tray.

And just like that, a simple traditional Japanese breakfast is ready.

Lian Ye then made herself breakfast, saying, "Just eat whatever you like."

He poured out all the ingredients that Tobirama Senju had bought the night before, leaving only sweet shrimp and clams.

Looking at the two ingredients in front of her, Lian Ye's eyes lit up. "Let's make seafood noodles!"

He poured water into the clay pot, added kelp to make a broth, and soaked the clams in salt water to remove the sand.

On the cutting board, peel and devein the sweet shrimp, cut the seaweed into thin strips, and soak the dried scallops in warm water.

After the water boils, remove the kelp, add the noodles until they float, then rinse with cold water and drain.

Rinsing noodles in cold water not only lowers their temperature to a suitable eating temperature, but also causes the internal fibers of the noodles to contract rapidly.

In layman's terms, it means making the noodles more chewy and springy.

In a separate pot, heat oil and sauté scallions, ginger, and garlic until fragrant. Add clams and stir-fry until they open. Add the noodle broth, dried scallops, and sweet shrimp. Bring to a boil and then turn off the heat.

First, put miso into a porcelain bowl and mix it, then ladle in seafood soup and top with noodles.

Finally, sprinkle with shredded seaweed and chopped green onions, and arrange the soft-boiled egg in half around the edge of the bowl.

The rising steam carries the fresh aroma of kelp and seafood.

And just like that, a simple seafood noodle dish was made.

Renya prepared to take out Senju Tobirama's breakfast first.

After such a long delay, this old man must be getting impatient.

"Uncle, your breakfast is ready."

Tobirama Senju took the tray and subconsciously asked:

"Why was only one serving made?"

Lianye rolled her eyes at him, annoyed. "You only bought one serving of sea bream, how am I supposed to make two?"

Upon hearing this, Tobirama Senju finally remembered the matter.

"Sorry, there was only one left when I bought it yesterday."

He handed the tray to Lian Ye, saying, "You can have this one."

Clearly, he wanted to save the grilled fish for Lianye to eat.

"Never mind, Uncle." Lian Ye didn't take the tray and explained, "My breakfast is already ready."

With that, he turned and went into the kitchen.

As Tobirama Senju watched Renya leave, he couldn't help but wonder what Renya had for breakfast.

When Renya came out carrying a bowl of seafood noodles, Tobirama Senju was stunned.

She looked at her own breakfast, then at Lianye's breakfast.

His breakfast consisted of fried sea bream, miso soup, and pickles, while Renya's breakfast was seafood noodles with clams, sweet shrimp, and a soft-boiled egg.

Steam from the seafood noodles wafted between the two of them.

The aroma of seafood noodles wafted into Tobirama Senju's nose, making him involuntarily swallow.

Why didn't you tell me you were making seafood noodles?

Lianye poked the soft-boiled egg with her chopsticks, and the golden egg liquid slid down the noodles into the soup.

"Didn't you say you wanted rice and grilled fish? I even asked you specifically..." Lian Ye slurped a mouthful of noodles and mumbled, "I only started cooking the noodles after I made breakfast for you."

“Slurp, slurp—”

As Tobirama Senju watched Renya eat noodles, he suddenly found the grilled sea bream in his hand less appealing.

If I had known it would turn out like this, I shouldn't have ordered the food.

It's impossible to ask Lianye to make him a seafood noodle dish now, is it?

Thinking of this, Tobirama Senju looked regretful.

I'm never ordering food again. This kid will eat whatever I make!

Since things have come to this, we have no choice but to eat it anyway.

“Slurp, slurp—”

Tobirama Senju picked up a sea bream with his chopsticks, the skin making a crisp sound.

However, the sound was masked by the slurping of noodles...

He removed the bones from the sea bream and mixed the minced fish meat with miso soup into the rice.

“Slurp, slurp—”

With veins bulging on his forehead, Tobirama Senju pretended not to hear the voice and began to enjoy his "sumptuous" breakfast.

He ate very quickly and finished in no time.

“Slurp, slurp—”

The sound of Lian Ye slurping noodles continued.

Tobirama Senju looked at Renya with a grim expression and said coldly:

"Kid, I want seafood noodles for lunch too!"

"Okay, Uncle," Lianye replied while slurping her noodles.

Hearing Renya's agreement, Tobirama Senju left satisfied.

Hmph, it's just seafood noodles.

We'll be able to eat it at noon!

P.S.: I'm starving! I'm going to eat seafood noodles too.

Chapter 139 You're Back

After having breakfast, Lianye enjoyed a rare moment of leisure.

Normally, he would definitely go to the training ground to practice.

But I'll be going to the battlefield in a few days, there's no need to exhaust myself.

After three months of fighting, it's time to relax.

Cherish this hard-won holiday...

They were about to head to the battlefield to fight to the death again.

Lianye pulled up a chair and sat in the courtyard, leisurely basking in the sun.

It was early morning, the sun had just risen, and the temperature was pleasant.

He moved his neck uncomfortably and murmured softly.

"Why am I so tired?"

It's not just my neck, my whole body feels uncomfortable.

My lower back aches and my legs feel weak.
