Konoha teaches, then stands in the sky

"No matter how nice it sounds, a dead person is dead. Living in the heart is just nice words to comfort a child." Orochimaru retorted calmly.

He had witnessed many deaths since he was born; his parents died when he was still young.

During the Second Shinobi World War, Orochimaru was already an outstanding jonin and had led many Konoha ninjas on important war missions. During this period, he witnessed many of his subordinates die before his eyes.

However, what touched Orochimaru the most was the death of his disciple Nawaki.

Nawase is both his disciple and Tsunade's younger brother. Although he is Orochimaru's disciple, Nawase and Orochimaru have almost opposite personalities. Orochimaru always has a stern face, while Nawase always has an excited and enthusiastic smile on his face.

Although their personalities are very different, Orochimaru likes this disciple very much. The fact that he doesn't smile doesn't mean that he can't stand others smiling. In fact, Orochimaru feels extremely comfortable when teaching Nawaki.

But the Ninja World War was too cruel. During a night mission, Nawaki accidentally fell into an explosive trap because he was in a hurry to chase the enemy, and died on the spot in front of Orochimaru.

From then on, Orochimaru knew one thing: humans are very fragile creatures, so he had to study ninjutsu to the extreme to make himself less vulnerable.

Listening to Orochimaru's words, Tsunade recalled some bad memories and drank several glasses of wine.

"You are becoming more and more cruel." Jiraiya sighed after hearing what Orochimaru said.

"Your idea is too naive." Orochimaru said after taking a sip of wine.

"A fool with naive ideas and a fool who can't speak." Tsunade chose to confront both of them together.

The three of them drank, ate and chatted for a long time. Although they spent a lot of time joking with each other, the overall atmosphere was still good.

"Haha, I'm pretty happy today. Do you want to continue drinking tomorrow?" Jiraiya asked with his cheeks flushed when it was over.

"I don't have time. I have to study ninjutsu tomorrow night." Orochimaru rejected Jiraiya's invitation.

"No, if you hadn't invited me today, I would have eaten the chicken dish made by Mu Yue." Tsunade also refused very directly and decisively.

Are you kidding? She changed her mind just to eat the chicken made by Mu Yue. How could she possibly go out for a drink with Jiraiya?

"That's indeed a big loss. After all, it was Mu Yue's cooking." Jiraiya touched his chin and nodded in agreement.

"Mu Yue?" Orochimaru looked thoughtful when he heard Jiraiya and Tsunade discussing this name.

However, what he was thinking about was not the legend of some cooking god, but the content of the Konoha newspaper and the communication between Danzo and him.

He happened to be working in the Root organization on the day the Konoha newspaper was published. When Danzo saw the content of the newspaper, he couldn't hold it in anymore.

I originally thought that he was just an insignificant little shrimp being poached, but it turned out that he was an outstanding jonin who could make great contributions in the battle against the tailed beasts.

Danzo immediately couldn't help but use his authority to obtain a detailed report of the battle and learned how Mu Yue had made contributions in the war.

If Orochimaru remembered correctly, this Hanyu Muyue was good at using combination ninjutsu, which was very powerful.

After a brief recollection, Orochimaru lost interest. He was now studying ninjutsu not those ordinary ninjutsu of the five major properties, but those with more special effects.

……

When Tsunade woke up again, it was already noon.

Feeling a bit hungry, Tsunade walked out of the room and called out, "Shizune, I'm so hungry. Is there anything to eat?"

"I'm doing it, please wait a moment, Lady Tsunade," Shizune responded.

Tsunade simply washed up and smelled a faint floral scent when passing by the table. Then, based on the smell, she locked onto two packaging bags on the table that contained unknown contents.

Because she was a little hungry, Tsunade curiously opened one of the packages and stuffed the pastry into her mouth.

"It's actually quite delicious. Is it a newly developed dessert?" Tsunade opened the second package, put the pastry into her mouth, and nodded.

"Lady Tsunade, the food is ready." Shizune trotted and placed the prepared food on the table.

Then she saw two opened packaging bags.

Jingyin was stunned. Because it was so delicious, she decided to eat another one within 24 hours. In order to prevent herself from being tempted, she deliberately did not bring it with her when she cooked. Unexpectedly...

"Maybe it's just the same bag. Maybe Lady Tsunade would eat other types of desserts," Shizune consoled herself mentally.

Then Jingyin picked up the two empty packaging bags and looked through them carefully. There were still a few pastry crumbs on them.

At this moment, Jingyin could no longer comfort herself. There was no doubt that this was the pastry she placed on the table.

Shizune's face froze, and she stared at Tsunade with lifeless eyes.

"Shizune, what's wrong with you?" Tsunade noticed Shizune's gaze and asked.

"Gone."

"What's gone?" Tsunade asked confusedly.

"The dessert is gone. It was eaten by Lady Tsunade, who doesn't like sweets." Shizune's voice was filled with a hint of resentment.

"Oh, it's the two on the table. They taste surprisingly good. Where did you buy them? I'll give you money and you can buy some more." Tsunade showed an expression of sudden enlightenment and was ready to give money to Shizune.

"You can't buy it. That one was made by Teacher Mu Yue herself." Jingyin looked very disappointed.

Seeing Shizune in a low mood, Tsunade also felt a little embarrassed. Although she usually didn't care about such things, she did feel an indescribable sense of guilt for accidentally stealing the candy that the child was looking forward to.

"It's not a big deal. Shizune, you should eat soon. I'll ask him for some when he comes." Tsunade said, quickly thinking of a solution.

"It's not good to trouble Teacher Mu Yue like this." Jingyin shook her head.

Although she really wanted to eat, she felt that it would be a bad thing to bother Mu Yue for no reason.

"What's the big deal? His problems are so complicated and difficult. One hundred thousand taels an hour is not enough. He deserves some dessert." Tsunade waved her hand to indicate that there was no problem.

At half past twelve, Mu Yue came to Tsunade's house again, but this time she didn't need Jiraiya to lead the way, Mu Yue came by herself.

"Lady Tsunade, today's time is five hours." Mu Yue handed 500,000 taels of banknotes to Tsunade.

Tsunade took the money and threw it to Shizune, then began to answer Mu Yue's questions.

He didn’t know if it was Mu Yue’s illusion, but he felt that Tsunade was more active today than yesterday. Yesterday, Tsunade slacked off whenever she had the chance.

After five hours, Mu Yue felt the same as yesterday, and still gained a lot.

After the teaching was over, Mu Yue fulfilled her promise and made a chicken dish for Tsunade.

Curious and with nothing to do, Tsunade took Shizune with her to watch Mu Yue cook, wanting to see if the new dish Mu Yue was talking about was a scam.

"Why do you want to smear mud on it?" Tsunade asked Mu Yue who ran into the yard with a puzzled look on her face.

"What if it gets dirty? Will it taste good this way?"

"It won't be dirty. The lotus leaves are wrapped tightly. As for the taste, you will know after you eat it." Mu Yue replied with a smile.

The chicken dish he wanted to make for Tsunade was the famous beggar's chicken from his previous life, which had a very unique flavor.

After putting the beggar's chicken into the simple baking tool made by earth escape, Mu Yue began to prepare other dishes.

I fried some tempura and made some sushi, and then it was time for the inevitable stir-fry. When all the dishes were placed on the table, it looked very sumptuous.

Although many dishes exuded very tempting aromas, Tsunade's attention was still attracted by the largest dish among them, the beggar's chicken.

Tsunade poured herself a glass of sake, which she had bought specifically for eating chicken.

"Will it taste good if it's wrapped in mud and roasted?" Tsunade pulled off a chicken leg and took a bite with this doubt.

After taking the first bite, the crispy, tender and fat flavors burst out in Tsunade's mouth. Tsunade's eyes lit up. She had never eaten such delicious chicken.

Then came a trance, and Tsunade felt as if she had turned into a free pheasant living in the jungle, her mind and body extremely relaxed.

Tsunade didn't say another word until she finished eating the food on the table.

"Mu Yue, your dessert is delicious. Can you give some to Shizue? She likes it very much." After dinner, Tsunade thought of Shizue.

"No problem, I'll bring some with me when I come to study tomorrow." Mu Yue replied with a smile.

Tsunade fell silent, thinking that her short teaching career would end today.

"Forget it, I'll teach you for another day. It's for Shizune, and it's definitely not because the food is so delicious." Tsunade decided to ask Mu Yue not to come tomorrow.

Chapter 289 Tsunade: Teach me again!

"Why haven't you come yet? Have you not gotten up yet?"

Tsunade glanced at the clock and saw that the hour hand was pointing to twelve and the minute hand was halfway through.

Since Mu Yue arrived at the same time the past two days, Tsunade thought that Mu Yue would arrive at about the same time today.

"Teacher Mu Yue shouldn't be the kind of person who gets up at noon." Jingyin felt that Mu Yue must be different from Tsunade.

"What's wrong with getting up at noon? There's nothing to do anyway, so it doesn't matter how long you sleep." Tsunade felt that Shizune's words had a hidden meaning, so she stretched out her evil hands towards Shizune's cheeks.

"Hmm..." Shizune wanted to say that she would have lost one-third of her energy in a day starting at noon, but Tsunade's rubbing attack made her words unclear.

Until one o'clock, Tsunade still didn't see Mu Yue, so she simply started teaching Jingyin.

"I think he's still teaching you the Palm Fairy Technique, right?" Tsunade asked Shizune.

"Yeah." Shizune nodded.

At half past two, Mu Yue entered Tsunade's yard with a small box in her hand.

"Lady Tsunade." Mu Yue greeted Tsunade with a smile and placed the box next to Tsunade and Shizune.

Tsunade was taking a break after talking for a while. She nodded and opened the gift box directly.

Jingyin, who was standing next to him, had her eyes light up instantly when she saw the cakes in the gift box.

Tsunade picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, then nodded. She had to admit that Mu Yue was really knowledgeable about food. Even someone like her who didn't like sweets thought it tasted good.

"Eat it, it was originally brought for you." Mu Yue said to Jingyin with a smile.

After receiving the affirmation, Jingyin looked at Mu Yue with gratitude, and then started eating as well.

In fact, Shizune wanted to save some food for dinner or tomorrow, but Tsunade's constant movements made Shizune give up the idea. She definitely couldn't save any food, and if she didn't eat it, Tsunade would eat it.

"Lady Tsunade, I have to study for four hours today. Thank you for your help." Mu Yue said after Tsunade finished eating and handed 400,000 taels to Tsunade.

"Let's get started." After taking the money, Tsunade threw it to Shizune without even looking at it.

She didn't ask Mu Yue why it only took four hours today. After all, Mu Yue might not be as free as her, so it was normal for her to be delayed due to some things.

For the next four hours, the courtyard was filled with the sounds of lectures and questions. Although the knowledge Tsunade was talking about was too advanced for Shizune at the moment, in order not to affect the atmosphere, Shizune also tried hard to listen to the lectures and wrote down the content that she did not understand.

After the lecture, Mu Yue prepared dinner for Tsunade and her husband as usual, and left a preview for the next day.

"In addition to beggar's chicken, I actually know a way to cook chicken that's very delicious, but it's a little spicy." Mu Yue said after dinner.

After hearing Mu Yue's words, Tsunade silently swallowed the words she was about to say.

The beggar chicken made by Mu Yue is the most delicious chicken Tsunade has ever eaten. In fact, Tsunade and Shizune tried to replicate it at noon today. Although the taste was okay, it was completely different from Mu Yue's. After eating it, she didn't feel relaxed both mentally and physically.

"After we eat the chicken dish tomorrow, I must stop him from coming!" Tsunade thought resolutely in her heart.

There is no doubt that Mu Yue's presence seriously affected her performance.

It would be easy for Tsunade to teach a ninja of Shizune's level, because she can give the answer without thinking, and most of the time she can just let Shizune practice on her own.

But Mu Yue is different. Sometimes she needs to think carefully about the questions Mu Yue asks.

When Mu Yue left, Jing Yin waved goodbye to her with a reluctant look on her face, saying, "Goodbye, Teacher Mu Yue."

Mu Yue is so nice to Jingyin. Not only does she give her desserts, but she also cooks delicious meals for them for free.

Mu Yue responded with a gentle smile and left the yard under the gaze of the two.

Seeing her disciple staring at Mu Yue's departing figure, Tsunade knocked Jingyin's head with her hand knife, crossed her arms and said:

"Still looking? He's already gone far away. Did a few meals make you like him so much?"

"It's not because of cooking, it's because Teacher Mu Yue is a very nice person." Jingyin explained with her hands covering her head and a slightly red face.

"I'm not the only one who likes Teacher Mu Yue. Everyone in the fourth grade likes her very much."

The next day, since she didn't have a hangover, Tsunade got up a little earlier, at ten o'clock.

However, getting up early is meaningless for Tsunade, and may even have a negative impact, because it means she has to wait longer if she wants to eat Mu Yue's food.

Shizune was actually very happy, thinking that Tsunade might be able to get back to a healthy routine of waking up at 8am.

"I should have slept until 6:30 in the afternoon." Tsunade glanced at the clock. It was one o'clock and Mu Yue had not come yet.

"If he really sleeps that late, he will definitely not be able to eat Teacher Mu Yue's cooking. He will leave disappointed when he sees the teacher sleeping, and he will not stay to cook." Shizune thinks Tsunade's idea is not good.

She thought that Mu Yue stayed to cook as a reward for Tsunade who was giving a lecture. Then Tsunade wanted to eat Mu Yue's cooking without giving a lecture. Isn't this getting something for nothing?

Tsunade thought about it and realized that it was true. If she didn't teach her, how could Mu Yue stay?
