After listening to Shen Yue's order, Long Shu lowered his eyelashes and said nothing, but anyone could see clearly that his hands were shaking.

Mushroom rice and grilled fish, this is what Hashirama and Tobirama like to eat the most, and it is also Long Shu's best dish.

"This, it's not available on the menu..."

Long Shu's head was swollen, he forced a stiff smile, stammered, and uttered words with difficulty, wanting to drive the two away directly, but his immediate boss, Auntie Siweite, was not happy, how could business be done like this.

"Long Shu boy, how can you drive customers away?"

Auntie angrily slapped the table to remind him not to forget his professional ethics, but Long Shu didn't listen at all. He was extremely embarrassed and didn't dare to raise his head. His confused mind found a random excuse to use the topic to drive people away.

"But, there are no ingredients in the kitchen..."

"Don't worry, I've prepared it!"

Momoka smiled and poked her head out from the back kitchen, holding a large bag of ingredients in her hand. It was mushrooms, rice and various seasonings that had been prepared in advance. Not only that, she even prepared the pots and pans needed for cooking.

"What, I, how can you..."

Ryushu was completely frozen in place. He finally realized that this group of people had planned it out. Shenyue, Momoka and the aunt smiled at each other. Before he could continue to say anything, the impatient aunt Siweit pushed him directly into the back kitchen.

Hashirama Senju was fidgeting. He choked in his throat and didn't dare to breathe. He looked embarrassed and confused, as if he was ready to run away at any time.

Moving his head stiffly, Hashirama looked at Shenyue, who was always calm, and begged in a low voice:

"Shenyue, let's eat another day!"

"Don't leave!"

Slapping the table domineeringly, Shenyue angrily glared at Hashirama, who was in a state of destitution like a beggar, and asked him loudly:

"How long have you not eaten?"

Being interrogated by a child like Shenyue, Hashirama couldn't help but blush, because it was really difficult for him to tell the truth to Shenyue. In fact, he had not eaten, drunk, or slept since Nagarjuna left.

Anyway, he has a sage body, so it's okay to be hungry for a few days!

Embarrassed, scratching his long hair that hadn't been taken care of for a long time, Hashirama thought so without any reason or strength, but when he saw Shenyue's angry look, he shut up at once.

Soon, Taoxiang brought out two bowls of mushroom rice and two servings of grilled fish. Shenyue didn't like mushrooms, so she gave all her rice to Hashirama. She grabbed the grilled fish and ate it in small bites, then exclaimed in surprise:

"Delicious!"

Looking at this familiar dish and smelling this familiar fragrance, Hashirama was in a trance, and almost subconsciously, he put the mushroom rice into his mouth.

Hashirama kept putting the rice into his mouth and froze in place. Shenyue stared at his blank face curiously and asked puzzledly:

"What's wrong, isn't it delicious?"

"..."

This is not a question of whether it tastes good or not. It can only be said that all of this is still the taste in Hashirama's memory.

The belated hunger is like a bird of prey, grabbing Hashirama with its beak and claws. He really hasn't eaten for too long, and his empty stomach is squirming wildly, as if to retaliate against his master's abominable behavior of not eating or drinking.

Hashirama simply ate to his heart's content, not even using chopsticks. He held up the plate with both hands and sucked the rice like drinking soup. Shen Yue was shocked by his wolfing down. Seeing the plate in Hashirama's hand being emptied at the speed of light, he quickly called out to the kitchen:

"Another serving!"

"More!"

Gradually, without Shen Yue's reminder, Ryushu continued to cook and Hashirama ate silently.

The ingredients Momoka had previously brought were not enough for Hashirama. In order to fill Hashirama's bottomless stomach, she could only rush to the market to buy vegetables again. Auntie also followed to move the mountain of ingredients. In the kitchen of the bakery, only Ryushu was left.

In the kitchen that suddenly became quiet, Ryushu was absent-minded and just stared at the pot in front of him in a daze. Fortunately, the steps of cooking had been deeply engraved in his bones and almost became his habit, so there was no fire or burnt food.

While putting bowl after bowl of mushroom rice on the plate, Long Shu suddenly recalled that the original intention of learning to cook was to cook for Hashirama!

The family always cooks for Tobirama, but Tobirama is really too busy, especially after the village was built, he simply can't spare the time to cook for them. Hashirama has a big appetite and poor cooking skills. He is always hungry at night and can't sleep without a midnight snack, so Long Shu can only take on the responsibility of cooking. Under Tobirama's careful guidance, his cooking skills have improved.It soared suddenly.

This was one of the few times that Tobirama and Hashirama would praise him.

Suddenly, Nagaragi covered his face with his hands, trying to suppress his crying. His shoulders trembled, but he couldn't help sobbing a few times, and his tears kept falling on the back of his hands.

After leaving the Senju clan, he did feel unprecedented happiness and freedom, but Senju Hashirama was always a threshold he couldn't cross.

"Father, I'm sorry..."

In the bakery, which was only separated from the kitchen by a wall, Hashirama ate mushroom rice in big mouthfuls, and couldn't help crying.

As if he wanted to make up for all the food he hadn't eaten in the past few days, Hashirama's mouth never stopped from dusk to dark.

Shen Yue was completely shocked by this bottomless glutton. She reasonably suspected that Hashirama's stomach was connected to another world, otherwise how could he swallow so much food?

"Very, burp - very delicious."

After eating and drinking, Hashirama burped exaggeratedly, as if to answer Shenyue's previous question, and kept praising Nagaraju's cooking skills.

Seeing that it was getting dark, Hashirama was still sitting in his seat nervously, looking at Shenyue sitting opposite from time to time, and secretly looking at the kitchen from time to time, thinking hard on his face, frowning and hesitating, and his expression looked very entangled.

Shenyue, who was sitting opposite, took a sip of the teacup and looked at his various actions with amusement. It can be said that Hashirama's psychological activities were clear -

He didn't know what to say to Nagaraju, but he didn't want to leave just like that.

"I'm leaving first. The master is here to pick me up."

After drinking a whole cup of tea, Shen Yue stood up and left. Aunt Siweit and Momoka, who had been helping in the kitchen, also hurriedly followed him. Before leaving, Aunt did not forget to tell Nagaraju who was still in a daze in the kitchen:

"Nagaraju boy, you come to close the shop tonight."

For a moment, only Hashirama and Nagaraju were left in the bakery. After a long silence that was almost eternal, Hashirama swallowed his saliva and bravely took the first step to resolve the past grudges. He walked into the kitchen and asked the doubt that had been bothering him these days:

"Nagaraju, how have you been recently?"

Outside the bakery, Uchiha Madara and Senju Tobirama, who had been hiding outside the whole time and had been worrying about the two, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and the turbid air accumulated in their chests was swept away.

Shen Yue was indeed right. As long as they were given a chance, the father and son would reconcile themselves.

Looking at the Senju father and son who were suddenly hugging each other tightly, Madara felt complicated. In addition to relief and comfort, he also felt a little sad and annoyed.

He quickly left with Shenyue, leaving only Tobirama to watch over the father and son.

"Master, the Five Kage Talks are about to begin."

On the way back to the clan land with Madara, Shenyue calculated the days and suddenly realized that the Five Kage Talks were just around the corner.

From the Chunin Exam to the Five Kage Talks, a month passed in a flash. Now think about it, a lot of things really happened during this period of time.

"Yes, it's really about to start..."

Uchiha Madara, who had been drinking all day, was full of alcohol, but his mind was not dizzy. His footsteps suddenly stopped, as if he was thinking about something.

When Shen Yue looked at him doubtfully, Madara let out a long breath and threw his doubts to his precocious disciple unexpectedly:

"Shen Yue, can Konoha swallow the entire Land of Fire?"

Shen Yue's breathing could not help but stagnate, but after a brief and careful thought, she shook her head and gave an answer that Madara did not want.

"Not yet."

"...Those rabble are definitely not the opponents of me and Hashirama!"

The alcohol rushed to his head in an instant, burning Madara's cheeks red. He exhaled heavily, trying his best to suppress the anger and helplessness that came from nowhere.

"It's easy to occupy the Land of Fire."

Kamizuki sighed, knowing that Madara was eager to solve all the problems once and for all. She didn't explain much, but just threw out a question that must be solved:

"But what should we do after occupying the Land of Fire?"

"..."

Uchiha Madara was silent for a moment. Kamzuki's question was to the point and stumped him directly.

"If we want to govern the entire Land of Fire, the number of ninjas in Konoha is far from enough."

Kamizuki frowned and thought, Konoha's current bureaucratic system and monetary system can only be said to be in their infancy. It is really a bit too scary to let such a young Konoha directly manage a vast and populous country.

Madara wants to...It is indeed very easy to annex the Land of Fire and even the entire Ninja World at once. The power of the Ninja God and the Shura of the Ninja World is invincible. In less than a day, the Land of Fire can be renamed the Land of Konoha, and the Ninja World can also be renamed the Land of Konoha.

But in actual governance, the astronomical government affairs of the entire country will only be thrown on her and Tobirama. By then, not only will Tobirama die of overwork, but she will also die with him.

Then when they die, expecting Uchiha Madara and Senju Hashirama to govern the Ninja World, to put it bluntly, it is better to directly launch the Infinite Moon Reading!

"However, it is time for Konoha to expand outward."

Madara's words reminded Shen Yue. She realized that Konoha had passed the most vulnerable period, and it was growing stronger and stronger and longing for a wider territory.

Then, let's set the expansion after the Five Kage Summit.

Expand outward, these four simple words undoubtedly touched Uchiha Madara's mind, and even his dormant passion began to boil for the first time in a long time. But soon, the smell of alcohol dissipated, and he was awakened by the cold wind and suddenly found that there was a faint blue-black circle under Shenyue's eyes.

Shenyue must be very tired these days.

The passion in Uchiha Madara's heart calmed down again, and his heart was full of love and guilt for Shenyue.

For the sake of the tribe and the village, Shenyue seemed to be thinking all the time. Recently, he was even more worried about the talks between Hashirama Ryuki and the Five Kage.

Obviously, these troublesome things should not be pushed on her head. Obviously, adults like him and Hashirama should support the children. Why does he rely on this child everywhere?

Madara's eyes suddenly softened. In the puzzled eyes of Shen Yue, he touched her hair and spoke in an incredibly gentle tone, as if the loss and anger just now were all illusions:

"Shen Yue, don't think too much, you should have a good rest first."

After sending Shen Yue home and watching her fall asleep with his own eyes, Madara returned to the silent patriarch's mansion alone, looking up at the cold and lonely full moon in the sky.

Every time at this time, he missed his brother especially.

"I really wish you were here too, Izuna."
