Chapter 13 The cold-faced and ruthless Orochimaru

As a powerful and heavy fist grazed Jiraiya's cheek and hit it hard, a big pit was instantly sunk into the ground.

"Hmph! If she hadn't considered you a companion, I would have really wanted to beat you to death!"

As he said that, Orochimaru stood up, patted the dust on his body and turned around to leave.

However, Orochimaru stopped again after walking seven or eight meters.

"When she comes back for dinner in the evening, remember to buy some good wine."

After saying that, Orochimaru stopped staying, leaving Jiraiya alone in a daze.

He really didn't expect that something like this would happen in the past two or three years.

"She must be in pain!"

In the end, he only said this sentence. Thinking of this, he no longer blamed Orochimaru for his behavior.

I really deserved a beating, and I felt much better after being beaten.

As for Orochimaru, he was whistling and walking towards the vegetable market.

Jiraiya's beating seemed merciless, but he still had a sense of proportion.

At most, it's just some skin trauma. If you really have to go all out, the broken bones and tendons will be minor.

When the time comes, Tsunade shouldn't be anxious with her, she won't show her emotions by beating him, and when the time comes, she won't think too much when she sees herself and Tsunade living under the same roof?

Okay now, it's reasonable to come here to prove that he is taking care of Tsunade.

I, the ruthless Orochimaru, have made such a big sacrifice, all for the sake of my companions!

He arrived at the vegetable market with ease, since Jiraiya was back, he had to add some vegetables.

But it can't be like in the original work, where the three ninjas reunited at a roadside tavern to have dinner.

Bring an old hen, a rooster, a fish, two pounds of beef, and some vegetarian dishes to go with the wine.

Orochimaru, one of the three ninjas, walked back with an old hen in one hand and green onions, ginger, garlic and vegetables in the other.

This phenomenon is normal. No matter how famous a ninja is, as long as he does not have an official position, he often buys food and cooks.

Even if you are the Hokage, if you don't have a wife at home to cook, you have to ask your subordinates to pack it up.

Back at Tsunade's house, Orochimaru first cleaned the old hen and put it in a pot to make soup, and then started cooking.

By the time Tsunade returned home, Orochimaru was already busy in the kitchen, cooking two more dishes before dinner was ready.

"Orochimaru, what day is it today and why are you cooking so many dishes?"

Looking at a large table of sumptuous dishes, the two of them usually only have three dishes at most. Such a sumptuous meal would only be like this unless there are guests at home or celebrating some festival.

"Jiraiya is back."

Tsunade was stunned when she heard the news. She hadn't seen anyone for so long and no letter had been sent back. She thought she had died outside!

Just as he was talking, a figure appeared outside the door and said that Cao Cao Cao Cao was here. Who else could he be if it wasn't Jiraiya?

"Hey...Tsunade, long time no see!"

Seeing the person coming, Orochimaru rolled his eyes. His emotion was to come here with a piece of food, right? I can cook it alone and eat for everyone at the table. Don't poke it dry.

Of course, this is just Orochimaru's inner monologue.

"Hmph! I even thought I was attracted by a girl from a certain village when I came back!"

Tsunade was also very happy to see her companion whom she hadn't seen for a long time, but she still pointed at his chest mercilessly and continued to criticize him.

Jiraiya could only stand like a log and let Tsunade scold him, not daring to talk back.

"Okay Tsunade, it's time to eat."

As he spoke, Orochimaru glanced at Jiraiya again and continued:

“If there’s no good wine, it’s none of your business!”

Orochimaru's words could be said to be very timely, and they actually saved Jiraiya.

"Hey, I bought several bottles! I have to get my money back!"

With such a proud look, Orochimaru thought he would contradict himself: "Uh-huh... Even if I starve to death and die outside, I won't eat even a little bit of your food!"

Tsunade didn't embarrass him anymore and went to the kitchen to add some dishes and chopsticks.

Three years later, the Sannin reunited again. Jiraiya was still the same Jiraiya, Tsunade was no longer the sunshine girl she was before, and Orochimaru had a different soul.

The three of them started chatting while eating and drinking. Most of the time, Jiraiya talked about what he had seen and heard in the past three years. The atmosphere was quite good, and there was nothing unusual about it.

"Well, it tastes really good. Tsunade, you are good at cooking. You couldn't even make simple dishes in the past."

Jiraiya, who was devouring his food, started to praise while eating. He hadn't had a decent meal in the past few years when he was either fighting or taking on a disciple.

"Orochimaru did it."

Giving Jiraiya a blank look, Tsunade said slowly.

When Jiraiya heard this, he looked at Orochimaru with wide eyes just like Tsunade did before.

It's not like he doesn't know Orochimaru's urine properties. Things like eating and drinking water are of no importance to him. When did he become so particular about it?

Then his eyes glanced at Tsunade unconsciously, and he forgot to chew the food in his mouth.

"Oh, it's really embarrassing for Orochimaru. I didn't expect that the cold and ruthless Orochimaru could do this for Tsunade."

Thinking of this, his opinion of Orochimaru improved a bit, and he felt a little guilty at the same time.

"I can't even shut your mouth when eating."

Orochimaru ignored his shocked, complicated and guilty look.

"You hit him?"

Tsunade looked at Orochimaru, and then at Jiraiya who still had a band-aid on his face. The wound was still a little red and swollen, and it was obviously still new.

"Haha, didn't he tell you that he fell?"

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade with a half-smile, and Tsunade snorted coldly:

"Deserve it!"

Jiraiya on the side saw that these two people had no regard for the feelings of the person involved and glared at Orochimaru:

"Let's practice when we have time and see if you have improved over the years."

The three of them started chatting wordlessly, and soon they were full of wine and food.

"Orochimaru, what are your plans for the future?"

Jiraiya spoke first, not asking Tsunade what he thought immediately, but starting from Orochimaru.

"I am now practicing taijutsu with Tsunade in the morning and doing experimental research in the afternoon and evening."

"Hey, you started doing research, I thought you were going to take on a disciple!"

Orochimaru took a sip of his wine, knowing that something was going to happen sooner or later.

"What about you, Tsunade? Are you also doing research on medical ninjutsu?"

Jiraiya asked Tsunade again, this was also his biggest concern.

"Me? Me, Minato Orochimaru, look after Shizune, wait for her to grow up, and have a drink."

Tsunade said in a low tone, and it was obvious that her mental state was not very good. This was because Orochimaru had enriched her life, otherwise it was because of her long-term alcoholism in the original work.

Seeing Tsunade's somewhat negative attitude towards life, Jiraiya was hesitant to speak and advised her to be optimistic? Advise her to face life positively?

They have been friends since childhood, and they know everything about their personalities. It is not his turn to speak if he can persuade them.

Orochimaru also cursed in his heart after hearing this:

"You can't even take care of yourself, but you still have to take care of others, and you still have to ask me to cook!"

Jiraiya then looked back at Orochimaru, and then he didn't know what to say.
