Uzuki Yugao turned around and walked deeper into the street. Yongye followed her, with his hands in his trouser pockets, walking at a leisurely pace, admiring her graceful electric motor.
The two walked through two alleys and turned into a narrower path. There were tall wooden walls on both sides. The top of the wall was covered with ivy. The vines hung down from the top of the wall and swayed gently in the breeze.
Uzuki Yugao stopped in front of a small building.
It was a two-story wooden house. The exterior walls were painted with light gray paint. The paint peeled off, revealing the dark brown wooden boards underneath. There was a small bush of Hydrangea planted at the door. The flowers were in full bloom, and the blue-purple flower bulbs fell heavily on the branches.
She took out the key from her waist, typed Opening Gate, and stepped aside.
"Please come in."
Yongye stepped in.
The entrance hall is small, with a dark brown wooden floor, which is very clean and has a slight sheen. There is a low cabinet beside the wall, and a Celadon vase is placed on the cabinet, with a few unknown wild flowers inserted in the vase.
Uzuki Yugao took out a pair of guest Geta from the cabinet, placed it at Yongye's feet, then put on his slippers and walked quickly into the kitchen.
Yongye put on Geta and walked into the living room.
The living room is not big either. A low table is placed in the center. The table is covered with a plain tablecloth. There is a bookshelf against the wall. There are several rows of Scroll and books neatly stacked on the bookshelf. The window is open, and the white gauze curtain is fluttering gently in the wind.
He sat down at the low table, crossed his legs, put his hands on his knees, and glanced around the living room.
The sound of chopping vegetables came from the kitchen, and the kitchen knife fell on the chopping board, making a rhythmic thud sound. Then there was the sizzling sound of the oil pan being heated, the sizzling sound of ingredients being put into the pot, and the clatter of spatulas.
A quarter of an hour later, Uzuki Yugao came out of the kitchen carrying a tray.
There was a white porcelain bowl on the tray, which contained Miso Soup. There were a few pieces of soft tofu and a handful of chopped green onions floating on the soup surface.
She placed the bowl in front of Yongye, took a half step back, and wiped her hands on her apron.
"Drink a bowl of soup first to warm your stomach."
Yongye picked up the bowl, lowered his head and took a sip. The temperature of the soup was just right, not burning your mouth, and the saltiness was just right.
He nodded and said he was satisfied.
Seeing this scene, Uzuki Yugao's eyes flashed with annoyance.
The annoyance only flashed for a moment before she was forced to suppress it. She turned around and walked back to the kitchen, walking a little faster than when she came.
In the kitchen, she stood in front of the stove, holding a spatula in her hand and staring at the boiling soup in the pot.
The soup was bubbling in the pot, and the heat was steaming up, blurring her vision.
Her other hand clenched tightly on the edge of the stove, her knuckles cracking.
The thought surged up in my mind, but was forced down again!
--Can't be so direct!
She gritted her teeth and tightened the muscles on her cheeks. She released her hand from the edge of the stove, held the spatula again, and turned the vegetables in the pot twice.
The second dish is ready.
Uzuki Yugao put the vegetables on the plate and walked out of the kitchen with the tray.
Uchiha Yongye was continuing to drink soup. When he saw her coming out, he put down the bowl and his eyes fell on the plate in her hand.
"Braised Fish." Uzuki Yugao put the plate on the table, "Try it."
Yongye picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of fish belly, and stuffed it into his mouth. The fish was fresh and tender, the sauce was rich, and the heat was just right.
"Very good." Uchiha Yongye nodded in praise.
Seeing this scene, Uzuki Yugao's eyes flashed with annoyance again.
The annoyance was deeper and heavier than before, as if a crocodile was surging in her chest and she was holding it tightly.
She turned around and walked back to the kitchen.
This time her steps were faster, and Geta stepped on the wooden floor with a rapid click. The kitchen door closed behind her with a soft sound.
She walked to the hot pot, and her long purple hair fell from her shoulders, covering half of her face. On that face, fear, hatred, humiliation, struggle, and countless emotions were intertwined.
After a while, she gritted her teeth and took out a small bottle. Her breathing was rapid and her chest heaved violently.
Just as she was about to open the small bottle, ANBU Deputy Captain Sarutobi Tsukikage's long voice exploded in her mind, and every word pierced her brain like a needle.
"Don't even think about putting poison directly into your food!"
"He's just crazy, not stupid! He once saw through Teuchi's slander!"
"You have had conflicts with him, so you will naturally be suspected! Be careful and careful!"
"If you want to kill him, you must make sacrifices! If you don't have this consciousness, don't go. Instead, you'll scare the snake away..."
Uzuki Yugao was shocked all over.
She took a deep breath and put away the small bottle.
The soup in the pot was bubbling, and the steam was steaming up, blurring her vision.
Sarutobi Tsukikage's words echoed repeatedly in her mind.
"The goal is to be a super strong person who can single-handedly force Third Hokage to step down. There must be no chance..."
She gritted her teeth, picked up the third dish, and opened the kitchen door.
In the living room, Uchiha Yongye was still drinking soup. The bowl had reached the bottom. He poured the last mouthful of soup into his mouth, put down the bowl, and licked his lips.
A spotted kitten squatted at his feet, head raised, its round eyes staring at the chopsticks in his hand, and its tail flicking on the floor.
Yongye looked down at the kitten, picked up a piece of meat from the fish belly, and threw it to the ground.
The kitten pounced on it, picked up the fish meat, swallowed it in two or two mouthfuls, raised its head again, and meowed twice.
Uzuki Yugao Put the plate on the table.
"Soy-Braised Beef."
Yongye picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of beef and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it twice and nodded.
"With your skills, you might consider switching careers to opening a restaurant."
He picked up another piece and threw it to the kitten at his feet. The kitten jumped up to catch it, rolled when it landed, and got up again, with its tail erect.
Uzuki Yugao looked at this scene, a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
She turned around and walked back to the kitchen... After a while, she brought out the fourth dish. Yongye picked up a chopstick and threw another chopstick to the kitten.
Channel 5.Yongye picked up a chopstick and threw another chopstick to the kitten.
No. Six Paths. Yongye picked up a chopstick and threw another chopstick to the kitten.
Uzuki Yugao stood at the door of the kitchen, holding the last dish in his hand. Looking at Yongye eating one bite after another, an indescribable feeling surged in his heart.
She imagined many possibilities--
Uchiha Yongye will let her try the food first, make her take a bite of each dish before using her chopsticks, use Sharingan to scan her Chakra fluctuations, and even... maybe try every dish with a silver needle.
She carefully prepared her words, actions, and facial expressions to deal with every temptation.
But Uchiha Yongye... didn't do any testing!
Eat as soon as it is served, drink the soup when it is finished, play with the cat after drinking, and continue eating after teasing.
From beginning to end, there was never any doubt that she might be poisoned!
Uzuki Yugao had mixed feelings. He didn't know whether to scold him for being careless and rude, or to praise him for trusting him.
She walked out of the kitchen carrying the last dish, put the plate on the table, and sat down opposite Yongye.
Yongye raised his head, glanced at her, and raised a smile at the corner of his mouth.
"Gekko Hayate is cured?"
"I only plan to teach him a lesson about his bad mouth, but I don't want him to squat and pee forever and become your sister."
Uzuki Yugao's fingers clenched tightly on his knees.
The resentment that she had suppressed all day was completely ignited by these words! Anger and hatred surged up from the deepest part of her chest, destroying all her pretense.
Her eyes were red, she was gritting her teeth, and the muscles on her cheeks were tense.
"Then you are so cruel!"
The voice was squeezed out from between the teeth, and every word was filled with irrepressible hatred.
"The healer Medical Ninja said that your sword didn't just cut it off. Chakra broke out at the wound and shattered most of it. There's no cure at all!"
Her voice was trembling, and her fingers clenched the fabric on her knees into wrinkles.
She also knows a little bit about Medical Ninjutsu, and knows the difference between "shattering" and "cutting off". Cutting off can easily be connected, shattering... nothing will happen!
Yongye put down his chopsticks, the smile on his face did not change at all, and displayed Show-Off Style:
"You can't even treat such a minor injury, right?"
There was a bit of surprise, a bit of contempt, and a bit of hatred in his tone, like a country bumpkin coming into the city and seeing a girl in a short skirt standing on the street soliciting customers.
