When the wedding reached its climax, Minato and Kushina exchanged tokens, and Kushina couldn't hold back the tears any longer and slid down her cheeks.
Minato gently wiped away her tears and said softly, "Stop crying, today is our happiest day."
"I know..." Kushina choked and said, "I'm just... so happy."
There was warm applause from the audience, and Senju Chen also applauded with a sincere smile on his face.
After the wedding, the guests left one after another, and Senju Chen walked up to Minato and Kushina.
"Congratulations, Sister Kushina, Brother Minato." He said sincerely.
Kushina hugged him and said with a cry in his voice, "Little Chen, thank you. Thank you very much."
Senju Chen patted her back. "Sister Kushina, thank you for what you said to me. You must be happy."
"Yes." Minato also came over and stretched out his hand, "Little Chen, thank you for being our witness today."
Senju Chen held his hand. "It should be."
He paused and said with a smile, "But, Brother Minato, don't forget your promise today. You have to do all the housework."
Minato smiled helplessly, "Don't worry, I remember."
Kushina burst into laughter and gave Senju Chen a light slap.
"You brat, you only know how to cause trouble for Minato."
The three people looked at each other and smiled.
As night falls, the guests disperse.
Senju Chen stood at the door of the new house, looking at the warm light coming from inside the house.
He knew that from today on, the lives of Minato and Kushina would open a new page.
And he should be ready to leave.
"Little Chen."
The voice of Hiruzen Sarutobi came from behind.
Senju Chen turned around and saw Hokage standing alone not far away.
"Lord Hokage"
Hiruzen Sarutobi approached and handed him a scroll.
"Based on your merits, the village is going to award you the title of 'Konoha Hero' and a bonus of thirty million taels."
Senju Chen took the scroll, opened it and took a look.
"Thank you Lord Hokage."
Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at him deeply. "I heard that you are leaving the village to find Tsunade?"
"Yes, Lord Hokage." Senju Chen nodded, "The war is over. I also want to visit my sister and see if I can persuade her to come back."
Hiruzen Sarutobi was silent for a moment.
"Tsunade She... must have had a hard time these years. If you can persuade her to come back, that would be the best."
Senju Chen smiled, "Well, I will try my best."
Hiruzen Sarutobi patted his shoulder. "Be careful on the road. Konoha will always be your home."
"Got it, Lord Hokage."
After watching Hiruzen Sarutobi leave, Senju Chen put away the scroll, turned around and walked towards Senju's mansion.
Thirty million taels, the title Konoha Hero...
As the heir of the Senju Clan, can he still be short of money?
As for reputation, he Senju Chen is now considered "famous Shinobi World", does he lack your fame?
To Konoha, these things are just political shows put out for everyone to see.
Returning to Senju's mansion, Senju Chen began to pack his luggage.
In fact, there is nothing to deal with.
Just bring a few changes of clothes, some commonly used ninja tools and scrolls, and "some money" to get started.
Senju Chen was packing his luggage when he heard a knock on the door and answered. Maruboshi Kosuke pushed the door open and entered.
"Young Master Chen." Kosuke saluted, looking tired.
Senju Chen put down the scroll in his hand and pointed to the chair beside the table, "Grandpa Kosuke, I'm going to leave tomorrow. How's it going over there at 'Food Is Heaven'? Is it going well?"
Maruboshi Kosuke sat down and sighed, "The search for personnel is ongoing, but it is indeed not easy. The standards proposed by Young Master Chen are too high. They must have superb cooking skills, good conduct, and the ability to keep secrets. Such talents are in Konoha is rare. But don't worry, I have contacted several veteran chefs who are retiring, and they have shown a strong interest in your recipes. In addition, a training plan for service staff and management staff has also been initially drawn up, focusing mainly on what you said, service etiquette and understanding of dish culture."
Senju Chen nodded after hearing this. "Thank you for your hard work, Grandpa Kosuke. High standards are a must. 'Food Is Heaven' does not want to be an ordinary pub, but to become a banner for Land of Fire and even the entire Shinobi World. Service, reputation and quality are the foundation for our foothold. No matter how large the initial investment is, it is better than subsequent problems."
He paused and then added, "In addition to the start-up capital I gave you before, I will continue to inject it after discussing it with my sister. You don't have to worry about the capital, just let it go. But there is one thing. It is better to be slower in the early stage, but also to ensure that every dish and every service can be remembered by customers. Let diners eat with peace of mind, be satisfied with their food, and spread the word of mouth. This is what we need most."
"Grandpa Kosuke You don't have to focus only on Konoha. The whole Land of Fire can actually be used. In fact, except for the store manager and chef, the rest can be recruited from the local area. The war has just ended. Some children who have lost their parents can also be recruited and trained in advance as long as they look smart."
Maruboshi Kosuke praised Senju Chen's proposal, "Young Master Chen is kind-hearted and has a long-term vision. I understand."
But Maruboshi Kosuke's face was not completely relaxed as he looked at Senju Chen who was packing his luggage.
He hesitated for a moment and then said, "Young Master Chen, forgive me for talking too much. How long do you plan to leave this time?"
"'Food Is Heaven' is a large-scale task with extensive implications, and the flow of funds is no small matter. You will entrust such an important task, as well as such a huge amount of funds, to me, an old man, to take care of it. Old man, I have never seen so much money in my life. To be honest, I feel a little unsure."
Senju Chen said with a chuckle to Maruboshi Kosuke.
"Grandpa Kosuke, you have watched me grow up in the past few years. In terms of your understanding of me and your loyalty to the Senju Clan, I can only think of you throughout Konoha. I entrust 'Food Is Heaven' to you not only because of the funds, but also because I believe in your character and ability."
"As for how long I will be away, I really cannot give an exact time. When I find my sister, I will see if I can persuade her to return to the village. If my sister comes back, she will also become an important pillar of the 'Food Is Heaven' plan."
Maruboshi Kosuke After hearing this, his tense body really relaxed.
He nodded repeatedly, and finally a relieved smile appeared on his face, "Young Master Chen has this arrangement, so I feel relieved. Since you trust me, I will do my best and live up to your trust."
After sending Maruboshi Kosuke away, silence returned to the house. Kushina had gotten married, and Senju Chen was the only one left in the entire Senju mansion.
Senju Chen walked to the window, opened it, and the night breeze blew against his face with the coolness of early autumn. He looked up at the deep night sky, where stars were dotted, and the silver moon was like a hook, reflecting the outline of Konoha.
He thought of the wedding of Minato and Kushina during the day. The pure joy and happiness formed a sharp contrast with the state of mind that he was about to leave at this moment.
But the next moment, I was overwhelmed by the anticipation of seeing Tsunade and Shizune.
Hehe, I don't know what kind of expression my sister will show when she suddenly sees him appearing in front of her.
Sister, I'm here to find you...
