Chapter 261 Dinner Party

After Kakashi's team left, Ye Shan no longer had the heart to continue working. He was the head of Konohagakure and had the power to do whatever he wanted, so he said, "Please ask the Deputy Hokage Minato Namikaze to sign the remaining documents. I have something to do and I'm leaving now."

Namikaze Minato curled his lips and said, "You are good at ordering people around. Remember to make beef brisket stewed with potatoes. I love it."

"You love eating balls!"

Ye Shan left the mission station in a hurry with Nara Shikaku after saying a few words with a smile, and then headed straight into the vegetable market.

"Sir, you can just ask your subordinates to do such a small matter as buying vegetables. Why do you have to come here in person?" Nara Shikaku said with a smile as he looked at the Hokage who was bending over and carefully selecting vegetables.

"Why are these potatoes not fresh? Not fresh is fine, but they are so expensive!" Ye Shan muttered to the stall owner, "Pack this, this, and this for me. You have to give me a discount. After all, the vegetables are not fresh."

The stall owner was packing vegetables timidly, and from time to time he would secretly look up at the Hokage, excited like a child. The moment the Hokage stopped at his stall, he had already made up his mind that he would raise the price of his potatoes the next morning, and put up a banner that read: The Hokage said the potatoes were good after eating them! He would definitely make a lot of money and his business would be full of customers.

"What do you know? Kakashi and I haven't been close for a long time. Now he finally comes to my house for a meal, so it's natural for me to pay more attention to him." Ye Shan was carrying potatoes and walking through the vegetable market. His eyes kept scanning the dishes and smelling the smell of fireworks in the air. His long-lost mood became smooth.

Nara Shikaku shook his head helplessly, then his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly approached the Hokage and said, "Look, sir, the seafood over there is on sale at a big discount, and they are still alive and kicking!"

Ye Shan looked in the direction the other person pointed, and sure enough, he found a stall selling discounted seafood. He walked over quickly, and without waiting for the stall owner to greet him, he directly grabbed a lobster as long as his arm, and said happily, "Kakashi has loved eating seafood since he was a child, and he can never get enough of it. He will definitely like this lobster!"

"how much is it?"

The stall owner stared blankly at the Hokage who had fallen from the sky. Hearing this, he jumped up from his chair and shouted, "Everyone come and see, my God, the Hokage is here to buy vegetables!"

There was a brief silence in the busy vegetable market. After the people who were originally buying vegetables confirmed Ye Shan's identity, they all gathered around him.

"Hello, Hokage-sama!"

"Hokage-sama, are you buying lobsters? Boss, pack up all your seafood and I'll pay for it!"

"Hokage, are you buying bamboo rats? My bamboo rats are really delicious. They cost three hundred taels each, or one thousand taels for three!"

"Get lost, my pork is the best, would you like some, Hokage-sama?"

Nara Shikaku was diligently trying to keep a safe distance in front of Hayama, but was pushed away by Hayama behind him.

"What are you doing? Everyone is trying to get close to me, get out of the way!"

Ye Shan smiled and waved to the villagers, "Good afternoon, everyone! You're all here to buy food. Are you going to have an extra meal in the evening?"

However, five minutes later, Ye Shan could no longer bear the villagers' enthusiasm and found an excuse to squeeze out of the market. The late-coming ninjas from the Security Department hurriedly bowed and greeted him.

There was no way. After a round of shopping at the market, they only bought a few potatoes, which were not enough for the three of them. Fortunately, Nara Shikaku was smart and called a security ninja over. He wrote down a few more dishes and asked him to buy them, so they gave up.

After returning home, Ye Shan drank a large glass of cold water, and sat slumped in a chair for a long time before recovering. He said, "We share the joy with the people, but we can't resist the enthusiasm of the villagers!"

Nara Shikaku poured another cup of tea for the Hokage and said with a smile: "That's because the Hokage's prestige is too high. When the Third Hokage was alive, he often went to the streets. I have never seen the villagers so enthusiastic."

"Don't always put one down and praise another. Sarutobi Hiruzen is still good, he's just not arbitrary enough." Ye Shan waved his hand.

As time was running out, Ye Shan didn't rest for long. He took off his Konoha uniform vest, changed into home clothes, and started cleaning. After becoming Hokage, he hardly cleaned the house, resulting in a layer of dust on the floor, which would be bad if others saw it.

The two of them were busy, one sweeping the floor and the other mopping the floor. Ye Shan pounded his aching waist and sighed, "People often say that if you can't clean your own house, how can you clean the world? I'm a lazy person and don't like cleaning my house, so naturally I can't clean the world either."

Nara Shikaku wiped the sweat off his face and said, "It is better to keep silent than to believe everything you say. Some words are just for listening and should not be taken seriously."

"You are really good at saying nice things." Ye Shan said with a smile, "Thank you for following me for so long. Stay for dinner tonight. It will only take an extra pair of chopsticks."

"Not so good?"

"What's wrong?" Ye Shan asked back, "You've looked much more haggard in the past few months, and the intensity of your work has not changed. Are you feeling stressed?"

"Don't think you're a member of the old party! I'm not narrow-minded enough to be so petty. I just need to do my job well."

"Hokage-sama is wise! Then I will lick your face and eat for free."

Ye Shan laughed and said, "I heard that you are going to be a father soon? How do you feel?"

"It's still early. I just feel tired now."

"You deserve it for getting married when you have nothing to do!"

Just as Ye Shan was about to continue speaking, there was a slight knock on the door. Nara Shikaku opened the door and it turned out to be a ninja from the Security Department delivering food.

So, the core figure of Konohagakure, Baiyun Yeshan, started doing housework for the first time in a long time. He was busy washing vegetables, seasoning and cooking. As for Nara Shikaku, he was sent to watch TV without even entering the kitchen.

To be honest, Ye Shan is quite good at cooking. As a social animal in his previous life, he couldn't afford takeout, so he often cooked in the rental house. Over time, the goddess labeled him as a dog who only likes to cook delicious food... How heartbreaking.

When the lights came on, Yeshan had just finished finishing the last dish. Before he could catch his breath, Namikaze Minato arrived on time with Uzumaki Kushina and Saiki Kakashi, just the right time, neither too early nor too late.

"So punctual?" This was Ye Shan's first words.

"Are you bringing your family members with you?" This was the second sentence.

Uzumaki Kushina was wearing a light yellow dress and a cute rabbit hairpin on her bright red hair. She smiled and waved, "Long time no see!"

"Long time no see, please come in!" Ye Shan said with a smile, "This little home is a little messy, please don't mind."

Namikaze Minato took out some fruit from his back like a magic trick and said with a smile, "I saw some fresh fruit on the way here, so I bought some."

"Come on, why do you need to buy anything?" Ye Shan pretended to be displeased, but took the fruit honestly, then looked at Kakashi, the meaning of which was very clear: You kid are here to be a guest at the master's house and practice real-hand combat?

The little adult Kakashi turned his head coolly and took out the identical fruit from behind, looking very proud.

Ye Shan took the fruit with a smile and said, "Hurry up and wash your hands and prepare to eat. You are all in for a treat today. The food I cook is much better than the ones in the restaurant."

Soon, several people sat down. Namikaze Minato looked at the dishes and made a drinking gesture with his hand: "Would you like to drink something?"

"Drink something?" Ye Shan asked with a smile.

"It is a must!"

Ye Shan had already planned to take out a bottle of wine from under the table and said proudly: "This is a fine wine that has been treasured by Konohagakure for more than 40 years. Ordinary people can't drink it."

Nara Shikaku was about to reach out to take it, but Uzumaki Kushina snatched it directly, uncorked it and smelled it, then stuck out her tongue and licked her lips in anticipation, and couldn't wait to have a glass, but was interrupted by Namikaze Minato: "You can't drink it."

Uzumaki Kushina looked at Namikaze Minato eagerly, holding the bottle and refusing to let go, just like a drunkard: "Just drink a little."

"No!" Minato said firmly.

"Tsk~ stingy!" Uzumaki Kushina put down the wine bottle helplessly and said angrily.

Ye Shan picked up the bottle and said with a smile: "Everyone is happy today, Minato, just let her drink some."

"Ye Shan, you don't know, the last time she got drunk she almost didn't cause a disaster, luckily she only smashed a grocery store, if she smashed a restaurant, I would have lost all my salary."

"Hey, nothing to do today. I'm drunk and I'll just smash things. I don't have anything valuable at home anyway."

Hayama smiled as he poured Kushina half a glass of wine, Nara Shikaku quickly took the bottle and filled the Deputy Hokage's glass before asking for some for Kakashi as well.

"Forget about Kakashi. He is not old enough to drink yet. The three prohibitions of ninja must be strictly observed."

Kakashi pouted and said, "When the adults were my age, they were already drinking. Why didn't you let me drink?"

"A real man should eat meat with big mouthfuls and drink wine with big bowls. I want to drink too!"

Ye Shan was shocked and asked, "Where did you get this twisted theory?"

"It's written on Jiraiya-sama's Strong Ninja Biography!"

"What a mess!" Ye Shan held his forehead and said, "I'll ban all his pornographic books later!"

"Just have a sip to join in the fun, and drink as you please in a few years."

As a result, everyone was happy, and the atmosphere of a small family dinner reached an intoxicating level.

Namikaze Minato considerately picked up a piece of beef brisket for Uzumaki Kushina and said with a smile: "We are getting married."

No one present was surprised at all. The two of them had always been the model couple in the village. It was only natural for them to get married now. Not getting married would be shocking news.

"Congratulations!" Ye Shan said perfunctorily, picked up a shrimp, thought for a moment, and put it into Kakashi's bowl, because he suddenly had no appetite.

"Well~ Yeshan, you have to hurry up, otherwise you will become an old man that no one wants." Uzumaki Kushina teased with a smile.

"Are you kidding?" Ye Shan put down his chopsticks, picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp, feeling the mellow aroma in his mouth, and said, "As the head of Konohagakure, the young women pursuing me are lining up from here to the New Rain Country. Am I still worried about not being able to find a marriage partner?"

Nara Shikaku cleverly filled Ye Shan's glass and agreed, "You two adults may not know that Hokage's lunch is delivered by a special person every day. It is much more exquisite and delicious than what the kitchen cooks."

"Wow! Who is it? Do I know him?" Uzumaki Kushina stopped eating and came up to Ye Shan and asked.

"Don't think too much. It was given by Shancheng Chen's sister. You all know her status. It's impossible."

Uzumaki Kushina curled her lips and said, "Don't be too sure. No one knows the result until the last step. I think you two are a good match. One of you fights outside while the other cleans up at home. How great!"

Ye Shan shook his head and said, "You, don't match her up with other girls. She's only seventeen or eighteen years old. She's still a child."

"What's wrong with seventeen or eighteen? Minato and I started dating when we were ten. Ninjas are unusual and generally mature early."

"You are also at the age to consider marriage. You always think that the development of the village is good, but you can't delay your own life event. What do you call this? This is called having both love and career!"

"Minato, please take care of your wife. She's becoming more and more unreasonable." Ye Shan had no choice but to reply.

Namikaze Minato shrugged and said, "In our family, I make the decisions on major matters and she makes the decisions on minor matters. Obviously, this is a minor matter and it is not my turn to interfere."

"I understand. Nothing serious happened in your family, right?" Ye Shan laughed.

Several people continued to enjoy the rare dinner happily. Ye Shan was in high spirits. He hadn't experienced such a lively dinner for a long time. He smiled so hard that his eyes narrowed into slits.

Kakashi wolfed down his meal, put down his chopsticks and said, "I'm done."

"Why are you eating so fast? Do you have to practice at night?" Ye Shan asked.

Kakashi put on a mask to cover his beautiful face and said, "I have an appointment with Might Guy tonight for a sparring match at the Hokage Rock. Master, do you want to come and watch?"

Ye Shan frowned, and a young man with thick eyebrows, big eyes and strange clothes quickly appeared in his mind. He smiled and said, "I won't go. I still have to clean up."

"Then I'll take my leave first?"

"Wait a minute." Ye Shan stood up and took out a scroll from the locker next to the living room. After a moment's hesitation, he handed it to Kakashi: "This is the Uchiha clan's experience on how to use the Sharingan correctly. You should be able to use it."

Kakashi's expression changed. He took the scroll and bowed to thank him, but was kicked on the butt by Ye Shan: "Why are you being so polite to me? Go back and practice hard, and strive to be promoted to an elite jonin as soon as possible."

After a while, there were only four people left in the living room. Namikaze Minato took a sip of wine and said slowly: "Is this really okay?"

Ye Shan knew what he was talking about and said calmly: "Hatake Sakumo's way is no longer suitable for Kakashi. We should change our thinking in time. This will be beneficial to him."

"In fact, from a long-term perspective, it's a good thing for Kakashi to get the Sharingan. Hatake Sakumo's ninjutsu emphasizes one-hit kills, and it takes countless life-and-death battles to comprehend it. I don't really want Kakashi to take risks, and it's better for him to grow steadily."

"In a few years, I will select several powerful ninjutsu for Kakashi to practice. Once he has achieved some success, his strength will not be too weak, and he will be safe against ordinary ninjas."

Namikaze Minato nodded and said, "You really care about this matter. Hatake Sakumo did not choose the wrong person."

Ye Shan smiled bitterly: "No matter how much I do, it's just icing on the cake. How can it compare to helping someone in need?"

"Forget it, let's not talk about sad things, let's drink!"

It is spring, and from time to time you can hear the cats' sexual calls outside the house. Everything is beautiful.
