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

Why hasn't it arrived yet... why hasn't it arrived yet?

"Wait ten more minutes." He glanced at the clock and muttered to himself, "If they're still not here, I'll go back and check."

These documents on the table can be reviewed tomorrow, but he absolutely cannot work on an empty stomach; that's not his style.

How can you concentrate on work if you're not enjoying delicious food?

As he waited anxiously, ten minutes quickly passed, but Lian Ye still did not appear.

"Hmph, I'd like to see what this kid is up to." Tobirama Senju removed his Hokage hat and left the Hokage's office.

This kid actually forgot something so important, it's unforgivable!

…………

The Tobirama Senju residence.

Lianye rushed into the house in a panic, casually placed the sweets she had bought on the table, and then plunged into the kitchen.

Oh no, oh no, it's so late!

Having been a chef for so many years, this is the first time I've ever forgotten how to cook.

He frantically searched for ingredients, clattering pots and pans, only to be horrified to discover that there were no ingredients at all.

We've been fighting outside all this time, where would we find any food at home?

I cooked lunch at Aunt Mito's house again today, and then I've been shopping with Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others until now. I haven't had any time to buy ingredients.

"I was so busy having fun that I forgot to prepare the ingredients," Lian Ye murmured softly, beads of sweat forming on her forehead. "I hope that old man won't come looking for trouble with me."

I glanced at the time; it was more than two hours later than usual when I delivered the food.

Going out to buy ingredients at this time is clearly impractical.

By the time the ingredients were bought, Tobirama Senju had returned.

No, they're probably already on their way back.

"It's too late, it's too late..." Lian Ye muttered to herself, her gaze sweeping across the cupboard before finally settling on the bag of flour in the corner.

For now, I can only cook a bowl of noodles to make do.

He quickly set up the pot, added water, grabbed some flour, and hurriedly started kneading the dough.

Kill it, faster!

The dough was kneaded and twisted in his hands, sometimes puffing up on one side and collapsing on the other.

He didn't care about the presentation at all; he just wanted to get the noodles into the pot as quickly as possible.

We have to hurry, it's a matter of life and death.

No one knows when Tobirama Senju will return.

The flames licked the bottom of the pot, and the water quickly boiled, bubbling and churning as if urging him to hurry up.

Lian Ye immediately put the noodles into the pot, and while the noodles were cooking, he started rummaging through the kitchen cabinets, looking for some side dishes.

But no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find any decent ingredients other than a bunch of wilted greens.

Lian Ye, holding the greens, was completely bewildered in the wind.

But time was of the essence, and he had no other choice but to grit his teeth and throw the vegetables into the pot.

Let's just eat this for now, anyway, that old guy isn't picky about food.

Finally, the noodles are cooked.

Lianye quickly scooped up the noodles and stuffed them into a bowl, then covered them with the wilted greens, trying to make the meal look less shabby.

He had just put the noodles into the food box when he heard familiar footsteps coming from the doorway.

Lianye's heart skipped a beat. Before he could even react, Tobirama Senju's tall figure had already appeared at the kitchen doorway.

He had just turned around when he saw Tobirama Senju leaning against the doorframe with a dark expression, his red eyes staring at him.

"Uncle, what brings you here? I was just about to bring you your food." Lian Ye waved the food box in her hand a little guiltily.

"Two and a half hours," Tobirama Senju said in a low voice. "You're two and a half hours later than usual."

He was practically starving in the office when he got home and found that the guy had just finished cooking.

"I went shopping with Danzo and the others this afternoon and forgot about it," Renya quickly explained.

Upon hearing this, Tobirama Senju's tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed.

After all, it was his own suggestion that Lian Ye go out more...

Since this kid forgot to cook because of this, let's forgive him.

Anyway, it's only been a little over two hours since I last ate.

And hasn't this kid already cooked the meal?

Don't forget next time.

Tobirama Senju didn't continue the topic, but walked closer and looked expectantly at the food box.

After waiting all afternoon, I can finally enjoy the delicious food.

I wonder what delicious food this kid made today?

"Uncle, are you starving?" Renya slowly opened the food box under Tobirama's expectant gaze.

When Tobirama Senju's gaze fell upon the bowl of bland noodles, his expression froze instantly, and a large question mark appeared on his forehead.

A few strands of noodles lay tangled at the bottom of the bowl, with a few wilted green vegetables floating forlornly on top.

Did this kid really make this food?

After a moment, he slowly raised his eyes and looked at Lian Ye.

"You...you just made this?"

This kid actually dared to fool me! I absolutely can't let him get away with this tonight!

Originally, I thought that since Lian Ye had just returned from the battlefield, I wouldn't use him for experiments in the short term.

It seems I need to change my mind.

"After eating too much rich and heavy food, it's good to have something light and refreshing every now and then."

"You agree, right, uncle?"

At this moment, Lianye was still unaware of the seriousness of the situation.

Tobirama Senju, his face dark, didn't say a word, silently picked up his noodles and left.

I must say, although it didn't look very appealing, it tasted pretty good.

As expected of this kid's cooking...

Lian Ye wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and said with lingering fear.

"Finally got over it."

……

……

P.S.: I had writer's block today, only two chapters. It's probably because I haven't been playing any games these past few days, sob sob...

Chapter 222 What is this old guy up to?

Tobirama Senju quickly finished the noodles in his bowl.

This kid's cooking skills are really good; even a bowl of noodles that looks shabby can be made to taste delicious.

Before you know it, it's all gone in a few bites.

Thinking that he needed to be well-fed to have the energy to do experiments, I decided to have this kid do another one.

Who can eat this little bit?

I didn't eat enough lunch, so I can't go hungry now; I need to do experiments later.

Tobirama Senju approached Renya with an empty bowl, saying, "Kid, there's not enough noodles, not enough for you."

Having not eaten anything all afternoon, I certainly wouldn't be satisfied with just a bowl of noodles.

—At least two bowls.

"I'll make you another bowl." Lian Ye took the empty bowl and went to the kitchen.

He initially thought Tobirama would be dissatisfied with the noodles he made, since there were no ingredients at home and time was tight, so dinner was indeed a bit perfunctory.

But to my surprise, he not only finished the noodles, but also asked for another bowl.

This old fellow isn't picky about food; he's indeed very easy to feed.

All I need to do is prepare three meals a day for him; I don't have to worry about anything else.

Lianye went to the kitchen and started kneading dough. This time, he planned to make enough for two people.

I barely ate anything at the barbecue restaurant this afternoon, so I'm cooking myself a bowl of noodles now.

Finally, he placed two bowls of noodles on the table, where Tobirama Senju was already sitting and waiting.

"Uncle, here's your noodles." Lianye placed a bowl of noodles in front of him and then began to eat by herself.

The flour was almost gone, so we couldn't make many noodles.

Renya put most of the noodles into Tobirama's bowl, leaving only a small bowl for herself.

Eat a bowl of noodles first to fill your stomach, and if you're still hungry later, you can eat something sweet.

He bought three large bags of sweets today.

"Kid, are you out of flour at home?" Senju Tobirama noticed the few noodles scattered in Renya's bowl and asked with a frown.

When did their family become so miserable?

Even when cooking a bowl of noodles, they would divide it into two portions, one large and one small.

If I remember correctly, he is now not only the Hokage of the village, but also the head of the clan.

They should have enough money to not be unable to afford food.

Lian Ye's earnings from missions over the years are at least ten million taels of silver.

Who would believe that someone of their status could have fallen to such a state?

Tobirama Senju felt somewhat dazed, as if he were dreaming.

“We’ve been on the battlefield the whole time, where would we get any fresh ingredients at home?” Lian Ye slurped up a mouthful of noodles. “The food for lunch today was all eaten up long ago.”

He planned to buy ingredients in the afternoon, but he forgot about it while shopping with Hiruzen and the others.

Besides seasonings, the only food we have at home is a small bag of flour.

The remaining flour is only enough to cook two bowls of noodles...

That's why there was only a small portion of noodles in his bowl; the other half was in the bowl of the guy opposite him.

"I'll go buy the ingredients tomorrow morning," Tobirama Senju said softly.

He usually handles the grocery shopping; whatever I buy, he makes it.

This was indeed his oversight.

I was so busy going back to the office to process documents that I forgot about something as important as buying groceries, which is why there was no food at home to cook.

"Suck it-"

Lianye sucked the last noodle in the bowl into her stomach and then put down her chopsticks.

"Uncle, I've finished eating."

As he spoke, he picked up the bowl and prepared to go to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

"and many more……"

Just then, Tobirama Senju called out to him.

Under Renya's questioning gaze, Tobirama Senju picked up half of the noodles from his bowl and put them into Renya's bowl.
