At noon of the same day, Wood Leaf Hidden Village, in a barbecue restaurant called Barbecue Q, in a well-decorated private room.
Kato Mitsukaze and Tsunade, who had just returned to the village after completing a mission, were having a meal and drinking.
In the morning, after Kato Mitsukaze met Tsunade and the others at the gate of Wood Leaf, he accompanied the three to the House of Naruto to hand over the mission last night, and also went to see Sandaime Hokage's master, Yuanfei RIzhan.
Kato Mitsukaze invited the three to have a meal and drink. It was a simple welcome dinner for the three of them, and it was also a meal for friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.
This time, Kato Mitsukaze didn't take the three to the Kikukawa Izakaya where he often goes to eat and drink. Instead, he deliberately found a barbecue restaurant located in the central business district of Wood Leaf to organize this meal.
The reason is naturally that Tsunade likes to eat barbecue, and the opinions of the other two are not important … …
In the private room of the barbecue restaurant, Kato Mitsukaze and the others sat around a rectangular table. Kato Mitsukaze and Tsunade sat on one side, and Jiraiya and Orochi Maru sat on the opposite side.
On the table, two grills were filled with delicious ingredients. Streaky pork and other fatty meats were roasted under the hot grills, and oil dripped down, making a sizzling sound.
The four of them have already eaten and drank a round, and they were half-drunk. The four of them were eating barbecue while chatting, and the atmosphere at the table was just right.
Among the four of them, except for Orochi Maru, who has a rational and cold personality, who wants to maintain a cold persona, the other three are veteran enthusiasts of drinking.
Next to the table, a row of empty sake bottles showed how fierce the meal was.
Several of them are high-level ninjas of Wood Leaf, and they have a high resistance to alcohol. Even after drinking so much sake, they were only slightly tipsy, and it didn't affect their chatting and eating at all.
"So, the mission of the three of you is also related to Wood Leaf's good ally, the Sand Hidden Village? The Sandaime-sama urgently sent you to deal with a small-scale conflict with the Sand Hidden Village in the western border defense area. "
Kato Mitsukaze said while putting a grilled chicken wing on the plate in front of Tsunade.
"There's no need for the three of you, the disciples of the Third Hokage and Konoha's new Jonin, to deal with a small conflict. That's more than a month's time!" Kato Yukaze continued to ask.
Tsunade replied in a hoarse voice, "The three of us were sent there mainly to mediate the conflict. We are strong enough, and we are the disciples of the Sandaime. To a certain extent, it also represents the importance of the Sandaime.
"After all, the Sand Hidden Village has been allies with Wood Leaf since the middle of the last shinobi world war, and the relationship between the two villages has been good for more than ten years."
"The three of us are going, in addition to deterrence, it is more to reconcile and see if there is any possibility of restoring the relationship between the two villages. The reason for the conflict between the two villages, according to the Sand Hidden Village, is related to the assassination of the Sandaime-sama a few years ago. According to them, there are traces of the use of Sharingan at the scene." Jiraiya raised his glass and drank the last sip of sake in his hand, then took another bottle and put it on the table, and said to Orochi Maru.
Tsunade used the chopsticks in her hand to pick up the chicken wing that Kato Mitsukaze had just grilled for her and put it in her mouth. She signaled Kato Mitsukaze not to give her any more food while continuing the conversation.
"It's just a cliché, it's related to the assassination of the Sandaime-sama a few years ago. Wood Leaf and the Sand Hidden Village have their own reasons. This time, the three of us are sent because this conflict can't be described as small-scale, it's almost comparable to a low-intensity war. That's why our mission took more than a month, most of the time was spent arguing with the representatives of both sides. The representatives sent by the Sand Hidden Village are the son and daughter-in-law of their advisor, Chiyo, who is good at using poison. "
"Since the Sandaime-sama of each village took power a few years ago, the situation in the shinobi world has become more and more tense. I just dealt with the Rain Hidden Village's spy mission in Wood Leaf half a month ago, and it also involved the Sand Hidden Village's spy. It's not only the Sand Hidden Village and Wood Leaf's conflict, but also the Rock Hidden Village, Cloud Hidden Village, and even the mysterious Mist Hidden Village, and the Rain Hidden Village that recently stood out in the shinobi world, the conflict between Wood Leaf and the Sand Hidden Village has been increasing year by year. The skirmishes around the borders of the Land of Fire have never stopped. "Kato Mitsukaze said.
Kato Mitsukaze ignored Tsunade's eyes and looked at Tsunade eating his grilled chicken wing.
He carefully grilled the ingredients on the grill in front of him and continued to give Tsunade a piece of grilled pork belly to Tsunade's plate.
Kato Mitsukaze has been very experienced in pursuing Tsunade over the years.
Women, hehe. They were all animals who did not mean what they said. Their mouths said no, but their bodies were quite honest.
Didn't Tsunade eat the chicken wing just now? She finished it in such a short time.
When Tsunade really put down her chopsticks, she's really full.
At that time, she'll use her eyes to signal Kato Mitsukaze to stop grilling.
As for when Tsunade is full, how big is her appetite?
Kato Mitsukaze has been pursuing Tsunade tirelessly for so many years. How can he not know this information? Isn't he underestimating the Wood Leaf Ninja's intelligence gathering ability?
Jiraiya looked at the handsome man and beautiful woman opposite him, and there they were giving each other food and making eye contact.
Suddenly, he felt that the grilled meat in his mouth was not delicious, and the sake in his hand was not delicious.
What's so great about women? Only Kato Mitsukaze would be a fool to like Tsunade, a woman with a bad temper.
What's the use of being good-looking? What's the use of having big breasts? Aren't they just bad-tempered and fierce?
Pursuing women? Tsk, if you have the time, why don't you practice ninjutsu? Why don't you read a new novel?
Novels are the eternal home of men.
"Hey, you two, pay attention, in public … there are other people here!"
Jiraiya complained to Kato Mitsukaze and Tsunade opposite him. "Let's not talk about the mission. It's not easy to come back to the village, why talk about those boring things?"
Kato Mitsukaze ignored Jiraiya's complaints about him giving Tsunade food and continued to do his own thing.
However, he didn't continue to talk about the past missions, but talked about the recent plans.
"I'm going to participate in the Shinobu Kiba exam next Tuesday. You came back just in time. Who has time to go and watch and cheer me? As for you guys, do you have any plans after this? Don't tell me you want to form a team and continue to go on missions together? The three of you are already Jonin. Do you still want to maintain the three-person team? "
Tsunade's body was very honest as she ate the streaky pork that Kato Mitsukaze had picked up again. She saw that Kato Mitsukaze ignored her signal.
She glared at Kato Mitsukaze, meaning that you're all grown up now. I'll teach you a lesson later.
She also ignored Jiraiya's complaints. She replied to Kato Mitsukaze's words.
"The three-person team will definitely not disband. After all, we've been on missions together for so many years, and we have a good tacit understanding with each other. However, we probably won't go on missions together so easily in the near future. This mission is quite special. "
Tsunade replied while chewing the streaky pork in her mouth. Her cheeks were a little puffed up, like a little squirrel that stole food.
Thinking that the chicken wings that Kato Mitsukaze just roasted were good, she motioned to Kato Mitsukaze to give her another chicken wing.
She concentrated on roasting the vegetables on the grill in front of her.
Mm, I'm a lady who only eats vegetables and needs to maintain my figure. Things like barbecued meat are all given to me by Kato Imperial Wind who doesn't know how to flirt. I'm only eating barbecued meat to give Kato Imperial Wind some face.
Tsunade flipped through the vegetables in front of her and continued: "Next Tuesday, I should be in the village. I should be free to watch your Jonin assessment. After that, I should stay in Kiba Hospital's medical class and continue my medical ninjutsu research. "
Orochi Maru didn't say anything for a long time. He just ate his barbecue silently and watched the interaction between the two with interest.
At this time, he also said: "I should also be in the village. Sandaime and the village arranged a confidential experiment that requires me to participate in for a long time. I should be in the village recently. If I'm free next Tuesday, I will also go and watch Kun Kato's Jonin assessment. With Kato's strength, you should have been promoted to Jonin with us last year. "
Jiraiya listened to the conversation of his companions and casually said: "Kato's promotion, I will definitely be free to participate. Maybe you will fail the promotion, haha, just kidding. With your strength, how can you fail? "
"If the village doesn't arrange any tasks, I should leave Wood Leaf Village and travel around to train. The Toad Sage in Mount Myoboku has some arrangements. Who knows, maybe I will go there to collect literature and write novels. Let's talk about it later …"
"Then it's settled. If you're free next Tuesday, come and watch my Jonin assessment … Let's meet again after I pass the Jonin assessment."
Kato Mitsukaze received Tsunade's command and picked a crispy chicken wing and put it on Tsunade's plate.
The other three also casually agreed. If they are free, they will participate in Kato Mitsukaze's Jonin assessment.
The four continued to eat and chat, barbecue and drink.
