Chapter 24 Let’s try new tea with new fire

At noon, a few people who finished their work came to the shade of the tree.

The gentle breeze is half the residual heat of late summer and half the coolness of early autumn.

Several people gathered around a boiler to watch the results of the morning's battle.

Several chopped ingredients are placed nearby. You only need to rinse them in the pot for a while before eating. Several people were impressed by this novel way of eating.

"Uncle Snake, what are you doing?"

Seeing Orochimaru put the fried rabbit meat into the mandarin duck pot specially customized by Orochimaru, Shizune asked in confusion.

“Rabbit hotpot, you’ll find out later!”

"Rabbit is so cute, how can you eat rabbit..."

Orochimaru pinched her little cheek and didn't pay attention to her bastard words.

"Senior Orochimaru, the mushrooms have been washed, do you want to put them in?"

When Minato picked the mushrooms, she had already cleaned them. At this time, she and Minato brought them over. Minato also had other wild vegetables on hand.

I originally brought some green vegetables, but Orochimaru was afraid that there would not be enough to eat, so he asked him to find some, and Orochimaru also wanted to try this pure natural green vegetable.

Orochimaru grabbed a handful of shiitake mushrooms and boiled them with the rabbit, adding the spices he brought back, and after a while the aroma spread.

The ANBU ninjas who were watching not far away had their Adam's apples twitching unconsciously. It was the first time for them to smell such an alluring fragrance, let alone it was meal time.

"I said, should we go up and ask them for some?"

An ANBU ninja suddenly felt that the military ration pills in his hand no longer tasted good, and he couldn't help but said to his companions beside him.

"Hmph, our surveillance has aroused their resentment. Do you think they will look good on us if we continue to get involved?"

Another ANBU ninja answered. Seeing that the ninja who spoke first was still a little unwilling, he continued:

"Do you think Orochimaru dares to kill us? That guy knows at first sight that he is not easy to mess with. I heard that he even dared to kill his own companions before."

Hearing this, the unwillingness of the ANBU ninja instantly faded away. Thinking of Orochimaru's evil reputation, everyone else also gave up the idea of ​​going to have a meal.

As the assassination force directly under the Hokage, the ANBU ninjas are like the imperial guards of the Ming Dynasty. They have very high power and authority. They can go anywhere with the Hokage's order.

As a sharp blade in the hands of all generations of Hokages, he is usually responsible for executing some difficult tasks assigned by Hokage, and he also has high authority when facing high risks.

Over time, some people will naturally develop the habit of being arrogant. It can be said that except for the top management of Konoha, no one can give face to them.

But when facing the legendary Sannin, they did not dare to be presumptuous. At this time, the strength of the Sannin was at its peak, and all of them had reached the Kage level. They were at least the captain level among ANBU.

This is also the reason why Kushina sneaked out and the third generation did not let them catch her back immediately. There are three shadow-level combat guards, and they are the icing on the cake at most.

On the other side, Orochimaru was stirring the mandarin duck pot with a spoon. Several friends were already sitting around, and Shizune had already picked up the bowls and chopsticks, looking ready to go.

"Orochimaru, why don't I see you making this hot pot at home?"

Tsunade said with some dissatisfaction, after all, they have lived under the same roof for several years, and Orochimaru has never shown such a hand.

"Yes, Uncle Snake!"

Shizune on the side also agreed. Looking at the somewhat resentful expressions of the two, Orochimaru said with a smile:

"I'm afraid the food is too good and will make you fat!"

The two of them curled their lips when they heard his answer. Orochimaru had been so busy since he started doing research that he had no time.

I haven't enjoyed a few comfortable days since I traveled back in time. Who am I so busy for, but for world peace!

"It seems that we came to the right place with Mr. Jiraiya today. We have benefited from the teacher's favor."

Minato said with a smile, a little shy on his face.

"Go ahead and eat. There are a lot of ingredients today. It's just a good time to taste your Brother Snake...how your uncle's craftsmanship is!"

Jiraiya also patted Minato on the shoulder and said, fearing that he and Kushina wouldn't be able to let go.

And put new fire to test new tea, poetry and wine to take advantage of the youth.

"Okay, it's time to start!"

Orochimaru poured some soup, tasted it, and said the words that everyone had been waiting for.

"I want something spicy..."

"Tsunade-sama, don't snatch it from me..."

"Come and eat this Kushina..."

"Ouch...it's so hot..."

All of a sudden, several people began to enjoy the food. After being tempted by the fragrance for so long, it was such a happy thing to finally get their wish at this moment.

Everyone thought this simple way of eating was not very good at first, but after tasting the first bite of crispy and tender meat, they were completely conquered.

"Minato-senpai, I should have told you to catch more rabbits."

As expected, Shizune, whose mouth was full of oil after eating, could not escape the law of true fragrance, and everyone else also believed it.

"I'll catch a few more this afternoon!"

"I have to say that Orochimaru-senpai is really good at his craftsmanship. It would be great if my craftsmanship was as good as mine."

Kushina looked at Orochimaru with the same envy. She didn't expect that the cold-faced snake brother could actually cook good food. Is this the tenderness under the cold appearance?

Kushina glanced at Minato who was smiling like a fat man weighing two hundred pounds. Our Minato was not bad at all. At least he didn't dislike the food I cooked.

After finishing the rabbit meat, several people started to cook beef, mutton and fish fillets. Except for the fish fillets, the others were all cut by Orochimaru from home.

"Ouch! I haven't eaten so much for a long time. I wish I could eat like this every day."

After having enough wine and food, Jiraiya lay on a big stone and blew in the cool breeze, while the others also found places to sit and eat.

It was the end of summer and the beginning of autumn, and there was still a bit of cool breeze at this time, which also made the few people who were sweating after eating feel physically and mentally comfortable.

Orochimaru also found a shady place to lie quietly, enjoying this pleasant moment.

Feeling the rustling of leaves, the chirping of insects and birds, and the roar of the huge waterfall, Xiaobai came to his cheek and gently rubbed his cheek.

Ever since he came to this world, he has been spinning around, not daring to relax for a moment.

It was probably a rare free time, so Orochimaru fell asleep unknowingly.

Several people saw Orochimaru sleeping half lying on the stone man and did not disturb him. Tsunade Shizune and Kushina didn't know what they were muttering when they got together, but they heard chuckles from time to time.

Minato also came to Jiraiya and asked him something. It was probably a matter of practice. He was such a hard-working kid.

After an unknown amount of time, Orochimaru was suddenly awakened by a sound of drinking.

This made him open his eyes instantly. The hazy sleepiness a moment ago quickly dissipated, and his cold snake eyes looked at the place where the sound came from.
