Konoha Qiweiju

The war lasted for three years and gradually ended.

All battlefields have also become calmer.

But on this day, bad news happened.

The rope tree is dead.

Twelve-year-old Shengshu died.

Just the day after his birthday.

On that ruthless battlefield, this is the fate of being too impulsive.

The battlefield is not a house, let alone a game.

If you are not careful, you will die.

Even Tobirama, who was as powerful as the Second Hokage, could not escape being beaten to death.

The rebellion launched by the Golden Horn and the Silver Horn back then directly killed the second generation Raikage, which shows how powerful it was.

Tobirama is also a key target of attack, and he can escape from Kumogakure with a six-person elite team, which shows that his strength is already impressive.

If it weren't for the fact that he hadn't yet reached the ultimate level of Flying Thunder God at that time, and moving six people outside Yunyin Village was the limit, he wouldn't have died.

Tobirama, the best among the Kage level, would die even if he was ambushed, let alone Nawaki, who was not as strong as a chuunin.

That day, it rained.

Tsunade returned to Konoha with the corpse of Nanagi.

Tsunade, who had always been heartless, cried very sadly this time.

Tsunade came back in the rain and hugged Shinsu.

"Uncle, I... don't have a brother anymore."

She endured her grief all the way back and cried desperately after saying these words.

That was the first time Shinsu saw Tsunade like this.

He felt a little distressed.

He patted Tsunade on the back and said nothing.

Tsunade doesn't need comfort now.

Because there have been too many words of comfort along the way.

She also listened more.

All she needs now is a quiet embrace and a good cry.

When people get tired of crying, they will stop.

Shichimi was in the middle, Tsunade leaned on Shinshu's shoulder and fell asleep.

The little girl back then has now become a young girl.

I have my own responsibilities and my own ideas.

Tsunade has always loved the rope tree.

That is her only brother.

Especially after the death of her parents, Tsunade regarded her younger brother as her most important person.

Although Shinshu has a good relationship with Tsunade, they are elders after all.

Tsunade can respect him, worship him, and rely on him, but she still won't pamper him.

That would be weird.

But the rope tree is different.

After her parents died, Tsunade felt her responsibility to the rope tree.

That kind of responsibility is similar to that of parents.

But now, this responsibility has been interrupted.

It's like holding back a lot of energy and suddenly not knowing where to go.

It was a feeling of emptiness and powerlessness.

Putting the sleeping Tsunade on the chair, Shinshu sighed.

He has seen through life, old age, sickness and death.

But Tsunade hasn't yet.

How could she accept this reality easily when she was still young?

"Poor kid."

Zhenxiu sighed again and walked into his kitchen.

This small kitchen is his world, where he can exert all his power.

Unable to comfort him with words, Zhenxiu could only choose the cuisine he was best at.

This dish is the perfect way to stimulate your tired body and stomach that has no appetite after sadness.

The white tofu has just been cooked, take it out.

Soybeans are the next key.

The soybeans are cooked with stock, crushed, seasoned with sauce, cooked to bring out the aroma of the meat, then shaped into the shape of the meat, and quickly fried in oil to finalize the shape.

Soybean minced meat is formed.

There is no tenderness of the meat, only a crispy texture.

This taste will be the key to opening up your taste buds.

Mapo tofu, a home-cooked side dish.

But in the hands of a true cultivator, an incredible flavor erupted.

The red piece, the slightly white tofu, and the minced meat can already be fake.

When the cooking is finished, a red light flashes in the center of the seven flavors.

But the strong aroma swept over me like ocean waves.

The aroma is like a hook that can arouse everyone's appetite.

Even if it's a sleeping person.

Tsunade's nose moved, and then she slowly opened her eyes, revealing those amber eyes.

"This smells...so delicious."

Tsunade sat up straight and saw a piece of Mapo Tofu placed in front of her.

Looking up, Zhen Xiu looked at her with a smile.

"Eat a little. I know you haven't eaten much for many days."

Zhenxiu said softly, with love in his golden eyes.

Smelling the aroma, Tsunade's stomach couldn't help but growl.

Tsunade's face turned red and she felt a little embarrassed.

She is indeed hungry.

And for the first time in these days, she felt hungry.

Ever since Naoki's death, Tsunade has been like a person without feelings.

Except for crying loudly at the beginning, everyone was numb.

Only here, in front of Zhen Xiu, can Tsunade regain some of her original appearance.

Hearing Tsunade's stomach growl, Shinsu smiled and handed over a pair of chopsticks.

"Eat quickly. The Mapo Tofu made by my uncle and grandpa is delicious only when it is hot. There is not enough."

"Um!"

Tsunade nodded, responded, and took the chopsticks.

Picking up a piece of white tofu dyed red, Tsunade put it in her mouth.

It's hot in the mouth, then spicy, and the aftertaste is numb.

The three flavors blend so seamlessly.

It sounds very subtle.

In addition, the five senses, including the fragrance you smell and the colors you see, are conveyed vividly.

Pick up the minced meat, and the crispiness will burst out at the end.

That feeling keeps impacting the future, making you unable to help but swallow it one mouthful after another.

Tsunade finished the large plate of mapo tofu without even realizing it.

When Tsunade's hand was empty, she was stunned for a moment.

"Have you finished eating?"

Feeling the warmth in her stomach and the spicy and numb taste in her mouth, Tsunade realized that she had already eaten so much.

It's like a magic trick.

A warm feeling swept through my body.

It seems that the sadness has also slowed down a lot.

That feeling is very wonderful.

"Tsunade, let him go. The rope tree is dead and cannot come back. But he will always live in your heart. Your life is not over yet. You still need to live with more warmth."

Zhenxiu said softly, his voice was not loud, and he didn't make a lot of sense.

Just saying it at this time, Tsunade suddenly felt that she had thought about it.

I don't know if it was the effect of tofu or whether it was true cultivation that made Tsunade understand this truth.

Touching her flat belly, Tsunade pushed the plate in front of her to Shinsu.

Just when Zhen Xiu was puzzled, Tsunade said: "Uncle, I want it more."

Zhenxiu smiled lightly.

"good."

Food is like this sometimes, it can fill you up when you are feeling empty.

Maybe it only fills the stomach, but the soul seems to be redeemed as well.

How many people have been sad at night, but feel happy because of a late night snack.

Sometimes, maybe that food fills more than just your stomach.
