Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

It's approaching noon.

In just one morning, Shirakumo Aoba had already mastered the basics of the Chakra Scalpel.

However, I sometimes lose control of my strength, and several times the fish in that basin almost died.

Fortunately, Shizune, who had been giving instructions from the side, intervened in time and pulled the fish back from the brink of death.

As for why it was a silent instruction, it's because after Tsunade demonstrated it once, she drank some wine and went back to sleep.

It wasn't until nearly noon, when Jingyin had already gone to prepare the ingredients for lunch, that she slowly woke up.

Still half asleep, he walked up to Baiyun Qingye, who was intently working on the fish, and looked at the fish that she had just healed, letting out a sigh of admiration.

"Hmm, very good. Your training results this morning are equivalent to several days of my training back then, and your chakra level is also quite good for your age."

"Kid, in terms of medical ninjutsu, among all the ninjas I have ever seen, no one is better than you. I, Tsunade, would call you the strongest."

"?"

What the hell!

Originally, Shirokumo Aoba was planning to cut a slit in the belly of this fish.

Upon suddenly hearing Tsunade's bold statement, he lost control of his strength and stabbed the fish right through.

Baiyun Qingye quickly used the Palm Immortal Technique to treat the fish again, but after struggling violently, the fish breathed its last and ended its short and tragic life.

Even though the fish was dead, its eyes still gleamed with an eerie light.

He looked at Tsunade, who had suddenly come over to bother him, somewhat speechless.

It wasn't that he was upset that the other person suddenly interrupted him; what really made him feel uneasy was Tsunade's comment: "Have you paid the copyright fee to Madara yet?"

"Uh, cough cough—"

Tsunade realized that she had suddenly disturbed the other person, but the embarrassment on her face only lasted for a moment before she said in a serious tone.

"It seems your mastery of the Chakra Scalpel and Healing Palm Technique is still insufficient; you can't fully control them!"

"You have to practice cooking a lot, you know?"

As she spoke, Tsunade patted Shirokumo Aoba on the shoulder encouragingly.

"Ah yes yes yes! You are right!"

Shirokumo Aoba didn't want to argue with Tsunade, this "little girl," so she changed the subject and said...

"Teacher, what should we do with this fish?"

"This fish will be our lunch. But you little brat... why did you sound so irritating just now?"

Although Tsunade wanted to hear Shirokumo Aoba's answer, for some reason, she felt an urge to punch him after hearing it.

"No, I was just listening to the teacher." Bai Yunqingye's eyes were somewhat unfocused.

Tsunade naturally noticed this as well.

"Really? Fine, whatever you mean, just don't use that smug tone again, or I'll punch you!"

As she spoke, she waved her fist, her expression full of threat.

Bai Yun Qingye didn't answer, but changed the subject, saying, "Today is also the first day of formally becoming a disciple. I don't have anything valuable, so how about I cook you a meal as a gift?"

"I don't care about the apprenticeship ceremony, but... you can cook?"

Tsunade was somewhat surprised and said uncertainly, "You wouldn't deliberately cook bad food to take revenge on me, would you?"

"What are you saying? What kind of talk is that? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

Bai Yun Qingye also showed an angry expression and said, "My cooking skills are so good that others can't even get to eat them!"

"Heh, I'd like to see for myself then. Since you're so confident, lunch is yours. If you don't satisfy me, there will be a punishment."

"Another foot massage?"

"How about I give you a massage?" Tsunade clenched her fist and narrowed her eyes.

"Don't worry, you'll be satisfied."

Upon seeing this, Baiyun Qingye hurriedly grabbed the basin of water and ran towards the kitchen.

"Sister Shizune, I'll make lunch!"

"Huh? Aoba, you're still so young, are you sure you can handle this?"

"..."

"That brat!"

Tsunade looked at the two people talking in the kitchen and couldn't help but chuckle.

A little extra flavor can make life more wonderful.

She now thinks that taking Bai Yunqingye as a disciple is not bad at all; it's quite fun to tease him when they have nothing to do.

At least when I'm not gambling, I'm not so bored.

……

After some discussion, Shizune finally agreed to let Shirakumo Aoba cook.

Most of the ingredients in the kitchen had already been prepared silently; he only needed to process the fish in his hand.

Considering that she wasn't quite sure what Tsunade and Shizune's tastes were, Shirakumo Aoba decided to cook a few lighter dishes.

Moreover, this fish is so fresh, and it has been treated so many times with his palm magic, so the meat must be extremely tender, making it perfect for steaming.

He skillfully scaled the fish, removed its internal organs and gills, and then cleaned it thoroughly.

Then sprinkle a layer of salt on the surface of the fish, spread it evenly, and rub it several times to remove the slime and fishy smell.

Next, cut the fish open from the middle to both sides, remove the middle bone, and make cuts in the thicker parts of the fish.

Then place some scallion segments and ginger slices under the bowl, use two chopsticks to support the fish on top of the bowl, and then you can put it in a steamer to steam.

Steam for about ten minutes (the time varies depending on the type of fish), then remove the fish and place it in another bowl.

Next, prepare shredded ginger, scallions, and chili peppers, place them on the fish, and drizzle hot oil over them to release the aroma of the ginger, scallions, and chili peppers.

Finally, drizzle with soy sauce, and the fragrant steamed fish is ready.

Before steaming the fish, Baiyun Qingye had already simmered a pot of chicken soup and prepared a serving of green vegetables.

After everything was prepared, looking at the delicious food in front of them, even Tsunade and Shizune, who were preparing to start their meal at the table, swallowed hard at the aroma.

Both of them were eager to start eating and couldn't wait to begin.

"Chicken soup is here!"

"The dishes are all ready. Teacher and Sister Jingyin can start eating now."

As Shirokumo Aoba brought the chicken soup to the table, Tsunade couldn't wait to reach out her chopsticks and pick up a piece of fish.

Upon tasting it, the fish meat was tender and smooth, with a hint of sweetness and the salty aroma of soy sauce. Tsunade's eyes widened immediately.

"good to eat!"

"Such delicious food deserves to be paired with wine!"

Tsunade immediately started looking for sake, and then Shirokumo Aoba placed a bowl of chicken soup in front of her.

"This chicken soup is very precious and delicious. Teacher, please drink this bowl of chicken soup first!"

"This……"

Tsunade looked at the thin, tempting layer of oil floating on the surface of the chicken soup, and beneath that oil was a pale yellow broth with some finely chopped scallions, and her mouth watered again.

I picked up the bowl and took a sip. After the rich aroma, a salty and savory flavor spread in my mouth. As the hot soup went down, a warm feeling went straight to my heart.

Tsunade felt a warm sensation in her lower abdomen.

The chicken soup was indeed better than the wine, and she took a few more sips.

When she put down the bowl, it was empty. She licked her lips with her pink tongue and applied a unique lip gloss.

It's often said that the way to a woman's heart is through her stomach.

Tsunade's stomach is now completely filled with Shirokumo Aoba's chicken soup.
