Chapter 265 Preparation

"Isn't this how it's done here? Izuna, why don't you try it?"

"Well, I remember it should be softer... and this is just right for me. My brother probably can't eat it."

"But without adding sugar, it's impossible to achieve this fluffy effect... I went to their kitchen that day to watch the process - no wonder they regard cake as their signature dish."

"Why don't we try it in small amounts multiple times?" Izuna licked her lips, picked up another piece of cake and took a bite, with a satisfied expression, "It would be great if one of us could open the eyes. Isn't the Sharingan called the Eye of Copy? Then we should be able to make it perfectly."

"Indeed, it's a pity that the clan didn't leave any methods to train pupil power, otherwise I should have opened my eyes by now - my brother had the Sharingan when he was my age." Madara also picked up a piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth, then washed his hands again, "I'll try again, Izuna, save some space for a taste."

"Don't be afraid! There's another stomach for sweets!"

Madara smiled and reached out to touch Izuna's forehead, smiling particularly dotingly, "You're talking nonsense again."

They didn't want to think about the consequences if Uchiha Tajima heard that they had opened their eyes just to go to the dessert shop to learn from others - at least he would have to give them a long lecture.

Although Ling is not good at cooking, he would still go to the kitchen to wash some vegetables and fruits to eat. After trying to go into the kitchen to find something to eat several times but being blocked by Quan Nai, Ling no longer went there, but he was still curious about what his younger brothers were doing.

But he didn't explore it too much - it's good to have expectations occasionally and not understand it so comprehensively.

On Ling's birthday, Youlu woke up early in the morning and found that Ling had left him to Quannai. He was so angry that he tore Quannai's sleeves and threatened that he would not forgive Ling when he came back.

Quannai quickly raised his hand to help Yataru Shunmao. As for Yataru's sudden outburst, he was not too scared. After all, even if the other party was angry, he didn't hurt him. As for the clothes... It doesn't matter. He was just planning to change into new ones! And it feels better to hold the cat like this!

Happily rubbing the cat in his arms, Izumi saw that Yataru was still cursing and tearing his already tattered cuffs, with no sign of calming down, so he quickly carried Yataru all the way to the kitchen to signal for help to Madara. Unfortunately, the price of asking for help was that Madara also had his cuffs torn by Yataru in his panic, and was in a mess.

Madara carefully placed a stack of spiced dried fish in front of Yulu, "Brother has always valued you, so I think brother must have something important to do to leave without saying goodbye. Didn't you separate before?"

Youlu was still so angry that he slammed the table and made a dangerous sound in his throat, "But the boy told me those few times! But this time he disappeared without even saying hello!"

Izuna took out a kunai and helped Madara cut off the tattered sleeves, then held out her hand for Madara to do it for her. She couldn't help but laugh when she heard it, "So, Xiaomata is also very dependent on her brother? I thought that only the brother was unilaterally dependent on Xiaomata."

Youli snorted, picked up a small dried fish and bit it resentfully, without saying anything.

Madara raised his hand to help Matajiru with his hair, "Come to think of it, when my brother left this morning, he asked me to help Matajiru prepare a big meal... He must have something urgent to do when he left. Let's ask him together when he comes back."

Youlu glanced at Ban, turned his head away, and the depression in his heart was relieved a lot. "... Let's do it another day. Haven't you two been waiting to celebrate that boy's birthday for a long time? I won't ruin the atmosphere."

"How can it ruin the atmosphere? My father and brother have said that if there are any conflicts between family members, they should be discussed in time. Don't let a trivial mistake lead to a tragedy that you will regret."

Izumi smiled and rubbed Mata's ear, "Isn't Xiaomata our family now? So I believe that since my brother did this, he must be confident that he can coax Xiaomata well. Let's wait and see together?"

Youlu snorted again, and his emotions finally stabilized. He lay down dejectedly with the dried fish in his mouth.

"Speaking of which, Xiaoyou has always been with brother, so he definitely knows his taste. Today is the ultimatum, Xiaoyou, come and help us taste it!"

"Hmm? Food tasting?" Youlv looked towards the kitchen counter and understood, "Is this what you have been secretly preparing for that kid?"

"Yes, I discovered it last time when I was on a mission with Izuna." Madara cut a small piece and put it on a plate in front of Matatabi. "Local people have the custom of eating cake on birthdays. It is said that it can summon the guardian gods to help the birthday person get rid of bad luck for the rest of the year. However, the person concerned cannot know about the preparation, otherwise the gods will leave."

Youlu snorted and laughed, "God? There is no such thing in this world. Instead of counting on the gods to protect that kid, you might as well count on me."

"Of course we know about that, but we just want to get a good start," Izuna reached out and pushed the plate of cake in front of Yuta, "After all, although brother has never lied to us or perfunctorily dealt with us, there are some things he thinks we shouldn't know, so he will never tell us, and always plans and bears them himself... Even if we want to help, we don't know where to start."

"That's true... Even among his peers, not everyone knows what that kid is going to do next." Youlv lowered his head and took a bite of the cake, feeling the soft sweetness spreading in his mouth. After a moment of hesitation, he said, "That's it. The sweetness is good. That kid will like it."

"really?"

"Really? I've been with that boy for so long, how could I not know his taste?"

Izuna nodded, "Then let's prepare according to this latest version, brother Madara?"

Looking at the two people busying themselves, Yulu raised his paw to push the cake aside, picked up the dried fish again, narrowed his eyes and snorted, "How dare you leave without saying goodbye? I'll choke you to death."
