Chapter 7 Moving into Tsunade's House
Chapter 7 Moving into Tsunade's House
"Starting today, you'll be moving in with me."
After leaving Mito, Tsunade said in a serious tone, "Although it's not wartime, assassinations of geniuses are not uncommon. You should understand your own importance."
"I see."
Minato nodded; he didn't want to hastily hand over his elementalization trump card over something like this.
"As for the accommodation fee, we'll cover it with the meals you cooked~"
Seeing that Minato agreed, Tsunade smiled smugly, but then seemed to realize that she had gone a bit too far, so she added after a moment's thought, "Of course, I'll have Nawaki help you. Also, feel free to ask me anything you don't understand about training!"
Minato smiled gently: "Does the teacher have any dietary restrictions?"
Tsunade thought for a moment: "Hmm... I don't have any dietary restrictions, but I don't really like sweets, like dumplings or the like."
"So what does the teacher like to eat?" Minato asked again.
"Hmm, it's pretty tender chicken, like the Sichuan-style 'saliva chicken' you just made..."
Tsunade said, then laughed heartily, "But if it's your cooking level, then I think I'll like to eat whatever you make."
"chicken…"
Minato seemed to be deep in thought. Most boys are carnivores, and as a common ingredient, he knows quite a few dishes made with chicken.
Moreover, judging from Tsunade's appearance, although she can't handle spicy food very well, she doesn't dislike chili peppers.
After picking up some daily necessities, Minato followed Tsunade to her house.
As soon as the two entered, a round-faced boy with spiky brown hair rushed out barefoot, stomping loudly on the floor.
"Sis, you're back!"
The boy looked two or three years older than Minato and had a very energetic appearance.
"I'm back~"
Upon seeing the boy, Tsunade smiled gently and introduced him to Minato, saying, "This is my younger brother, Nawaki. Nawaki, this is my disciple, Minato Namikaze. You two should get along well."
"Huh? Unbelievable, a sister who can't even get out of bed has the leisure to take on disciples..."
Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Nawaki couldn't help but retort, then curiously sized up Minato: "This kid... looks younger than me?"
And he's so handsome, he'd definitely be popular with girls...
Damn, I'm so envious!
"Yes, Minato is a freshman this year."
Tsunade changed into slippers, then found a pair for Minato: "And he's a super genius, too!"
"Huh? A genius..."
Rope Tree didn't take it too seriously, after all, her sister was also a genius.
"Nice to meet you, please take care of me," Minato said with a gentle smile.
"Oh, um, nice to meet you."
Rope Tree nodded, trying to appear mature: "Since you're my older sister's disciple, you're my little brother now! I'll protect you at school!"
Upon hearing this, Minato smiled politely.
Tsunade couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this. Although Nawaki was two years older than Minato, judging from the strength Minato had shown so far, he was fully capable of crushing her stupid younger brother.
Tsunade's house is very large; it's a traditional Japanese-style house.
Minato's room was arranged next to Rope Tree's room, and the room had very good natural light.
After arranging the room and glancing at the sky outside, Minato went to sleep.
However, perhaps because of the sudden change of environment, he couldn't fall asleep for a while, and his mind was in turmoil.
His contact with Tsunade meant that he began to become entangled with characters from the original story.
This inevitably includes some people with ulterior motives, such as Danzo Shimura.
Minato wasn't too worried about these things. He didn't have a strong sense of belonging to Konoha. If he really angered him, he would just leave.
With the power of the Glint-Glint Fruit, no one can stop him from leaving Konoha if he wants to. As for Wood Release ninjutsu, he can just come back in a few years with Susanoo to retrieve it.
Of course, this is only the worst-case scenario.
Now he is Tsunade's disciple and is also under the care of Mito Uzumaki. He is, in a sense, the grand-disciple of the Third Hokage, and belongs to the direct line of the Hokage.
Given this political background, coupled with the unique nature of Wood Release, as long as he doesn't jump up and slap Hiruzen Sarutobi, no one will do anything to him even if he goes a little out of line.
However, given his personality, he wouldn't do anything like bullying others by abusing his power.
Lost in his own thoughts, Minato finally drifted off to sleep.
It wasn't until the next morning that his recently developed biological clock forced him to open his eyes. Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings, he paused for two seconds before remembering that he had moved to Tsunade's house.
Get up and take a shower.
Passing by Nawaki and Tsunade's room, the room was quiet, and it seemed that the two were still sleeping.
After washing up, Minato went to the kitchen, looked around, and found that the kitchen utensils and seasonings were fairly complete.
I checked each cabinet, and the rice, flour, and oil were still almost full.
Then he opened the refrigerator, which contained only two slices of toast, a can of fruit, some sauce, eggs, green onions, tomatoes, and wilted spinach…
"Hmm...it seems I used to eat bread for breakfast."
Minato scratched his head; he still preferred hot food.
I glanced at the freezer compartment again; it was mostly filled with ready-made meals: chicken cutlets, chicken thighs, pork chops, hamburger patties…
After thinking for a moment, Minato took a hamburger patty and put it in the microwave to freeze.
Then he poured the flour into a bowl, and Minato conjured a mini Rasengan in his hand. He added water while stirring, and soon the flour was stirred into the state he wanted.
After a flurry of activity, half an hour later, a rich aroma gradually wafted through the air.
Inside the room, Tsunade suddenly opened her eyes, her stomach growling wildly.
She smelled the aroma of food, an aroma so strange it was almost uncanny that it woke her right up from her sleep!
After a two-second pause, she remembered that she had brought a chef... disciple home yesterday, so she quickly dressed and rushed out of the room.
"What smells so good?!"
Just as Tsunade stepped out of the room, Nawaki rushed out while putting on his shirt.
The two entered the living room, where Minato was carrying a large bowl as he walked out of the kitchen.
"Eat something when you're awake. I made some dumpling soup; there's still quite a bit left in the pot..."
Before the words were even finished, the siblings rushed into the kitchen like a gust of wind.
"Hey, sister, don't push me!"
"Sure thing, I'll serve you first!"
"Hehe, my older sister is the best~"
"The rest are all mine."
"..."
Soon, the siblings emerged from the kitchen carrying large bowls.
Without saying a word, the two sat down next to Minato and eagerly scooped up the soup from their bowls with spoons, blew on it to cool it down, and began to sip it.
"call--"
"ha--"
After taking a sip of soup, the siblings both let out a satisfied sigh.
Minato couldn't help but smile at their reactions.
He always thought that dumpling soup was magical, that it had a warm and healing feeling when he drank it, simply put: warm and comforting.
Moreover, the method is very inclusive. He made tomato and egg dumpling soup, and added some spinach and hamburger patties, which did not clash with the taste. Tomatoes are very easy to awaken people's hunger, especially for those who like the taste and are eating it for the first time.
"Snoring..."
The brother and sister, like two pigs, drank the soup in their bowls clean.
"Ah, my stomach feels warm, it feels so satisfying~"
After finishing her soup, Tsunade leaned on the tatami mat with one hand and gently patted her slightly round belly with the other, licking her lips with a lingering sense of enjoyment.
What kind of inappropriate language is this…
Minato's lips twitched: "I added a hamburger patty because the main ingredients are beef and onions, and drinking it might make you sweat a bit. Besides, dumpling soup is warming to the stomach."
Nawaki reluctantly put down her bowl: "It was so delicious, this is what a human breakfast should be like..."
Tsunade's eyes sharpened: "Oh?"
"Of course, I still like my older sister's cooking the most!"
Nawaki jolted, quickly waving her hands: "But I didn't expect Minato to be able to cook. By the way, sister, you didn't take him on as your disciple because of his cooking skills, did you?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Tsunade rolled her eyes: "Didn't I tell you? This kid is a super genius, he might be your biggest rival on the road to becoming Hokage!"
Nawaki looked incredulous: "You're lying, Minato just enrolled."
"oh--?"
Tsunade sat up straight. She suddenly remembered that her younger brother didn't seem to have experienced any setbacks.
Thinking of this, her gaze suddenly became playful: "Then why don't you give it a try? I also need to test Minato's strength, so how about I give this task to you, his senior who is two years ahead of him?"
"Oh! Well, just you wait and see!"
Rope Tree exclaimed enthusiastically, "I absolutely won't lose!"
