Moving in with Tsunade

Although the Senju Clan had fully integrated into Konoha and no longer regarded themselves as a separate clan,

they had once built up substantial holdings, after all, and Tsunade now lived in one of the Senju Clan's properties.

Yecheng thought to himself that Tsunade clearly wanted to protect him by having him move in with her.

He immediately agreed.

"Thank you, Teacher."

As long as he lived with Tsunade, even if Danzo still had designs on him, he would no longer resort to such outright violence as he had today.

Besides, living with two gorgeous women-the more he thought about it, the more he had to look forward to.

With his agreement secured, Tsunade smiled in satisfaction and picked up her chopsticks.

"Let's eat."

She picked up a piece of Yecheng's stir-fried pork and put it in her mouth, her eyes suddenly widening.

"This... what is this?!"

She looked at the table. The pork belly had been seared until its edges browned, and the green peppers had been stir-fried until their skins blistered. The moment it entered her mouth, the fragrance of meat and fat burst forth in full. Tender and silky, paired with the sharp, refreshing heat of the peppers-the combination was simply exquisite!

Tsunade had never been picky about food. Back on the battlefield, sitting beside corpses and chewing on soldier pills had been routine.

But the mouthful she had eaten today overturned her understanding of cooking!

Tsunade picked up some of the tomato and scrambled eggs beside it. Savory flavor rushed straight into her nose-sour, sweet, salty, fragrant, it had everything!

Shizune was already an excellent cook, but compared with Yecheng, she was still several levels below!

Tsunade couldn't help looking at Yecheng, then at Shizune.

Comparisons really did hurt...

"Lady Tsunade?"

Shizune noticed her gaze, and a bad feeling rose in her heart.

She reached out with her chopsticks and tasted Yecheng's cooking, then froze as though a thunderclap had struck out of a clear sky.

There was no other reason-it was simply too delicious!

Precisely because Shizune could cook herself, she understood all the more clearly the gap between their cooking skills!

H-how could this be?

She turned her head like a rusty machine and looked at Yecheng. This junior fellow disciple was only six years old. How could he cook like this?!

He was more talented than me, and he could cook better, too!

A terrifying thought suddenly sprang into Shizune's mind:

Lady Tsunade wasn't going to stop wanting me just like that, was she?!

Agh!

No! Anything but that!

Ignoring Shizune's look of near collapse, Tsunade chuckled.

"I don't think it'll be all that safe tonight, either. Kid, move in after dinner!"

"Huh?"

Yecheng looked utterly bewildered, but since his teacher had spoken, he naturally obeyed.

"Yes."

"Let's eat. The food's getting cold."

Though dinner was a little simple, all three ate their fill with great satisfaction.

Back when Yecheng had been a university student in his previous life, he had often watched videos online to learn cooking and improve his meals.

After coming to the orphanage in this life, he had kept those skills up. After all, there were so many children there, and cooking for them took skill.

Now that he also had the Six Eyes, not a single minute change in the ingredients could escape his gaze. His handling of ingredients and use of seasonings were both exquisitely precise!

Naturally, the food was incredibly delicious.

If he returned to Earth with the Six Eyes, Yecheng could easily earn a master chef certification.

Winning over people in the Shinobi World who had hardly eaten anything good was a piece of cake.

He was also already experimenting with the wildly popular dishes of his previous life. Once his experiments succeeded and he brought them to the Shinobi World, making a fortune would be just around the corner.

Early morning.

Yecheng abruptly opened his eyes.

"An unfamiliar ceiling..."

Oh, I moved. This is Tsunade's house.

Yecheng had nearly forgotten. A morning without a jonin standing in the courtyard threatening him was actually so relaxing and refreshing.

"It's all Danzo's fault..."

Muttering to himself, Yecheng felt a slight pressure in his lower abdomen and got up to use the bathroom.

The moment he pushed open the door, the sight before him nearly left him dizzy.

Tsunade was wearing a close-fitting short top and shorts, fully displaying her curvaceous figure and exposing great expanses of soft, pale skin. Under the light, her snow-white skin almost seemed to give off a dazzling glow.

The expanse of white at her chest, in particular, was even more dazzling than the high beams of a truck on the highway, leaving Yecheng's head spinning.

Tsunade was brushing her teeth. Seeing Yecheng open the door, she also paused briefly.

Some white foam inadvertently dripped from her lips onto her chest, making her all the more alluring.

Afraid he would lose control of himself, Yecheng hurriedly shut the door.

"S-sorry, Teacher! I... I didn't know you were in there..."

As he spoke, he hurried away to find another bathroom.

"That little brat..."

Tsunade gave a soft huff, spat out the foam, and emerged after finishing her morning wash.

Seeing her literally unrestrained state, Shizune immediately understood.

"Lady Tsunade, there's another person living here now. You should pay a little more attention to how you dress!"

As she spoke, she brought over the clothes she had prepared.

Tsunade scoffed. "The kid's only six. What could he possibly know?"

What she didn't know was that Yecheng's mental age was far beyond a mere six years.

A long while later, Yecheng finally finished washing up and emerged from the bathroom.

Only after seeing Tsunade dressed in loose clothing did he breathe a sigh of relief.

Even so, those loose clothes could hardly conceal her alluring curves, which remained full and proud.

Even just sitting there, the clothing pulled taut behind her faintly revealed her shape.

"Eat first."

Tsunade had long since grown accustomed to people's prying gazes and paid them no mind.

"Your theoretical knowledge is lacking, so you still need to attend your morning classes.

"But with your strength, there's no need to attend the afternoon combat classes. Go to the hospital. I'll start teaching you medical ninjutsu."

"Then I'll send a Shadow Clone Technique to the afternoon classes."

Yecheng nodded.

With the aid of the Six Eyes, his Shadow Clone Techniques consumed extremely little chakra while active and could remain for long periods.

Besides, no one in his class could currently destroy his Shadow Clone Technique.

Tsunade's thoughts stirred. The Ninja Academy's afternoon classes lasted four hours. Did that mean his chakra control was already refined enough to sustain a Shadow Clone Technique for at least four hours?

That was a level even many jonin couldn't achieve!

I've really taken on an extraordinary disciple!

Tsunade was quite surprised, but said nothing more.

Today, she had things of her own to do.

She intended to make full use of the ninja captured yesterday.

Her teacher had grown old. The bearing of the Shinobi Hero he had once been was long gone. All that remained now was an old man struggling to maintain a balance.

He dared not touch this, nor did he dare touch that.

But she was still young.

Her disciple had been openly attacked in the village. Did they really think she, Tsunade, was a pushover, too?
