After shopping around for an afternoon, I returned to the Senju Clan's mansion.
At this moment, Senju Chen is in the kitchen, wearing a slightly funny apron around his waist, and is skillfully handling the ingredients bought by Yamato.
The flash of the knife is not for killing, but to cut a piece of top-quality snowflake beef into thin slices of meat. The exquisite control of Chakra is not for releasing Ninjutsu, but to evenly heat the soup pot, letting the rich bone broth roll out the most alluring aroma.
Senju Chen has rarely cooked in these years. This time he "returned to his old profession", but his skills have not diminished at all.
As night fell, when the last plate of "grilled saury" was brought to the table, familiar footsteps came from the courtyard door.
"Wow! It smells so good!"
Tsunade's iconic vitality voice moves from far to near, arriving before the person arrives.
When she and Shizune walked into the restaurant and saw a table full of dishes that were delicious, delicious and comparable to a state banquet, they were both stunned.
Especially Tsunade, her eyes felt hot again when she looked at the tall figure wearing an apron and walking out of the kitchen with a gentle smile on his face.
"You brat... you've done it for yourself, and you actually made so many dishes."
Senju Chen smiled and took off his apron, pulled out the main chair, "Sit down quickly, sister, Sister Shizune, Yamato too, don't stand."
Yamato's Wood Release face, which had remained unchanged all year round, now showed a rare hint of restraint and flattery. Dining at the "minister's" house with Lord Hokage at the same table, this kind of treatment...
"Yes!" Yamato immediately sat up straight like a javelin.
After the initial restraint, the atmosphere of the dinner quickly became warm. Senju Chen took out a few bottles of "Food Is Heaven" secretly made top-grade fruit wine. The clear wine and fragrant fruit aroma instantly captured Tsunade, a veteran alcoholic.
"Good wine!" Tsunade drank it all in one gulp and said proudly, "It's much better than the sake and spirits outside!"
While she was feasting, she gave instructions vaguely. "Shizune, give me a piece of that beef! Yamato, don't be stunned, eat! There are no superiors or subordinates today, only family members!"
Shizune blushed and carefully prepared dishes for Tsunade, but his eyes always drifted involuntarily to the smiling and silent young man opposite.
After a few glasses of fruit wine, Tsunade's cheeks turned red and she started talking more. Her amber eyes looked back and forth at Senju Chen, and she suddenly smiled.
"Little Chen, you are also twenty this year and an adult."
Senju Chen felt a little thump in his heart.
Sure enough, Tsunade's next sentence was aimed at Shizune who wanted to bury his head in a bowl.
"Look, we Shizune have been waiting for you for five years. You can't let such a good girl down!"
"Lady Tsunade!" Shizune was shy and anxious, and his cheeks instantly turned as red as a ripe apple. Even Tonton in his arms felt his master's embarrassment and let out a "puff" sound of protest.
Senju Chen put down the wine glass and looked at Shizune, who was blushing. His eyes were gentle, the corners of his mouth raised a just right arc, and he said in a half-joking and half-serious tone:
"Sister, you're right. I'm back now, aren't I?"
After the laughter, the atmosphere gradually calmed down.
Tsunade put down his chopsticks and looked at Senju Chen seriously. "Okay, brat, let's get down to business. Where have you been in the past five years? Don't fool me with the nonsense in the letter."
Senju Chen knows, the real show is coming.
He had already prepared his words, which were half true and false, and most deceptive.
"Sister, do you still remember the bloodline conflict problem in my body?"
Tsunade's face instantly became solemn, and this was always a huge stone weighing on her heart.
Senju Chen nodded and continued his "script", "In the past five years, in order to help me solve the problem of blood conflict in my body, Teacher, we have almost always stayed in a secret overseas base, conducting experiments day and night. The process is very dangerous, but fortunately... the result is good."
"Now my physical problems have been completely resolved."
"Is it really completely solved?"
"Well, it's really solved completely," Senju Chen said confidently.
After finishing the meal, Yamato helped Shizune clean up the dishes, while Senju Chen and Tsunade sat at the table drinking tea.
"Sister, I have two plans. You can help me as a consultant."
"Say." Tsunade restored the dignity of Fifth Hokage.
"First, about the Ninja Academy." Senju Chen's eyes became sharp, "I think our current education model is a bit backward, and it is a waste of children's talents! It is pure cramming teaching, and there is a serious disconnect between theory and practice. Genin who graduated cannot even do decent teamwork."
He paused and dropped a bombshell. "In the past few years, I have integrated a brand-new teaching system, from basic theory, teamwork, intelligence analysis, to the basic application of Scientific Ninja Tool. I think it can be implemented in our village. After all, we cannot let our Konoha children lose at the starting line!"
Senju Chen has been an avatar of Kirigakure for five years as an "instructor" for five years. The main body watched Amado and the others "training" the children of Kekkei Genkai at the experimental base. For the current Konoha, Ninja Academy has long been indifferent. It feels like it is a waste of the talents of these children.
"Tell me about the second one first." Tsunade heard that Senju Chen wanted to interfere with the Ninja Academy, and his attitude was a bit noncommittal.
"The second is medical treatment!" Senju Chen's voice was low, but every word was like thunder, "Sister, you are Shinobi World's number one medical ninja, but our medical system is still at the level of 'treatment'. And based on the research of my teacher and I over the years, as well as some of our new discoveries, now we can do... 'continuation and regeneration'!"
"Regeneration?" Tsunade frowned.
Senju Chen looked at her and said word by word, "Yes, the reconnection and regeneration of severed limbs!"
"What?!"
This time, even Yamato, who had been serving as the backdrop, raised his head in shock. Regenerating amputated limbs is something that only gods can do!
Tsunade's breathing quickened instantly. As an authority in the medical field, she knew better than anyone else the subversive meaning behind these four words!
"Little Chen, do you know what you are talking about? This involves directional division and proliferation at the cell level, and its complexity..."
"I know this sounds incredible." Senju Chen interrupted her and calmly threw out his trump card, "But facts speak louder than words. Sister, you should still remember Grandpa Kosuke, right? His leg that was broken in the war has now been healed."
Maruboshi Kosuke! That Eternal Genin! Everyone knows about his broken leg in Konoha!
Tsunade stood up suddenly, his chest heaving violently, his eyes full of shock, doubt, and a trace of uncontrollable ecstasy!
If... if this is true!
So what kind of changes will Konoha usher in? Countless ninjas who have retired due to disability will be able to return to the battlefield! The overall strength of the village will instantly rise to a higher level!
She stared at Senju Chen, as if she wanted to see through him.
After a long time, she sat down again, but her voice was still trembling.
"This matter... is too big." She quickly returned to her senses as Hokage, "I agree in principle with the medical reform. But since Orochimaru is involved, Council of Elders's resolution must be passed! You ask Maruboshi Kosuke to return to the village! If this matter is true, then Little Chen you have really made a contribution this time."
She looked at Senju Chen, this brother could always bring him surprises.
"As for the reform of the Ninja Academy you mentioned... it is also a big matter, related to the future foundation of the entire village, and cannot be taken lightly. You still need to list the specific reforms and plans for this matter. I will report it to Council of Elders after I read it."
"Okay, sister."
Let's start with health care and education.
Let the old antiques of Konoha first experience what is... the wave of the new era.
