Chapter 197 The opportunity has come!

Tsunade ignored Nawaki's dissatisfaction, hugged Kushina in her arms, and kissed the little girl hard on the face twice, causing Kushina to struggle in disgust and keep wiping her face with the back of her hand.

"Since you're so well behaved, I'll treat you to a feast today. Let's go eat barbecue! Minato, you can come too."

Since her younger brothers and sisters were so well behaved, Tsunade decided to treat them to barbecue.

"Don't go."

Shengshu hummed and looked up.

Kushina was also not interested.

Minato smiled awkwardly.

what happened?

Are you not happy about inviting me to a barbecue?

If you don't want barbecue, what do you want to eat?

I don’t have Jingyi’s cooking skills.

"Ah~ I'm tired of eating."

Kushina sighed.

Barbecue is delicious, but you can’t resist eating it often.

Nawaki also sighed: "It's a bit greasy indeed, let's wait for Minato to cook."

Tsunade: “????”

What the hell?

It turned out that after Jingyi left, the three little ones had difficulty solving the food problem, so they often went out to eat, and Kushina, the little rich woman, would treat them at any time.

As a result, they often frequented the famous barbecue restaurant in the village, but after a while, the three little ones now don’t want to touch barbecue at all.

Fortunately, the little yellow-haired boy’s cooking skills have been developed.

I can’t say how delicious it tastes, but at least it’s passable.

So when they don’t go out to eat, cooking becomes the little yellow-haired boy’s job.

Kushina paid for the groceries, while Nawaki was in charge of running the market and helping out.

"If you don't want to eat it, forget it!!!"

Tsunade was so angry that she was heartbroken. She had finally saved some money and wanted to treat you guys to a nice meal to make you happy, but in the end you were rejected?

Is there any justice left?

Never mind, I'll just wait for Minato to finish cooking.

Let Tsunade treat the meal. She has some money in her pocket and she won't be stingy. It's unrealistic to expect her to cook.

So the whole family set their sights on the little yellow-haired boy.

"Well, not bad, not bad, Minato's cooking skills have improved, great."

Tsunade ate the food made by Minato and kept praising him, mainly because she was a little embarrassed.

It's a bit embarrassing for the eldest child to be alone and still rely on the children for food.

"By the way, your teacher has already started preparing a summoning beast for you. When he comes back, we should be able to sign the contract. You can practice summoning when you have time. The scroll is at home. Just go find the rope tree and get it."

Psychic beast?

The three little ones couldn't help but prick up their ears.

Kushina asked urgently, "Tsunade-sister, what about me? Is there anything for me?"

"This summoned beast is not suitable for you."

Tsunade had no choice but to explain.

"What about me? What about me? It's not suitable Kushina, I'm sure it's fine."

Rope Tree stood up and pointed at himself.

A summoning beast that is suitable for Minato must also be suitable for him.

"you?"

Tsunade looked at him and shook her head regretfully:

"Shizuichi wanted to prepare it for you, but I refused. You should wait for Jiraiya to come back and make a contract with the toad of Myoboku Mountain directly."

This will help you learn fairy arts in the future.

But Tsunade didn't say this.

Because Nawaki and Minato have not been tested yet, Tsunade is worried that they will be very disappointed when they are tested and have high expectations but find that they have no talent.

"Why?"

Nawaki's voice rose several degrees: "I don't like Toads, and I don't like Jiraiya!!"

"is it?"

Tsunade couldn't help but tease, "Who was it that used to chase after Jiraiya whenever he had time? He followed whatever Jiraiya did?"

"Who is that? It can't be me, could it be Minato?"

"Pfft~~~~"

Tsunade's teasing and sarcasm made Nawaki a little unable to hold back, Kushina burst out laughing, and the little yellow-haired boy couldn't help laughing either.

These can all be considered as Shengshu’s dark history. As he grows older, whenever some of the stupid things he did in the past are brought up, Shenshu becomes blushing with shame.

Thinking back to the stupid things he had done in the past, Sheng Shu was so embarrassed that he could have dug a hole in the floor with his toes.

"That was before. I don't like Jiraiya anymore."

With his face flushed, he slammed the table and argued loudly:

"I don't like toads, and I don't want to sign a contract with one."

Are there some things that you just don’t want?

Tsunade rolled her eyes at her brother and didn't bother to pay attention to him.

This is what a naughty child is like. Even if you are nice to him, he will think you are targeting him.

Never mind. Let’s wait for Jiraiya to come back and solve the problem of Rope Tree himself.

In the underground base of the Rain Country, Jiraiya suddenly sneezed several times.

"Strange, is anyone talking about me?"

Konan ran to Jiraiya, looked up and asked, "Teacher, you keep sneezing, are you sick?"

Konan's concern warmed Jiraiya's heart. He raised his hand and rubbed the little girl's head. Jiraiya laughed and said narcissistically:

"Sick? How is that possible? Your teacher Jiraiya is the strongest toad sage in Konoha. It is impossible for him to be sick."

"By the way, have you learned the ninjutsu that the teacher taught you?"

"I've learned it. Yahiko is so stupid. He hasn't learned it yet."

Konan smiled happily and took the opportunity to report Yahiko's misbehavior.

"Xiao Nan! How could you possibly complain? I've tried my best!!!"

Yahiko was so furious that he didn't dare to get angry at Konan. He could only stamp his feet in frustration and loudly defend himself.

Nagato, with his eyes still covered by his long hair, stood quietly aside.

"You're obviously stupid."

"No, I'm not stupid!!"

"You run!"

"I am not stupid."

Alas, these two children, it starts again.

Jiraiya sighed helplessly. Looking at the three children who had grown a lot taller, he felt mixed emotions.

I don’t know what happened to the child Shengshu.

With Jingyi looking after him, nothing should go wrong. This child will definitely grow up to be tall.

Thinking of Rope Tree, Jiraiya inexplicably began to have a headache. He himself was not sure whether Rope Tree would forgive him after returning to Konoha.

The inquiry letter sent from Konoha was delivered directly to the front-line camp. Orochimaru, who received the letter, threw it aside as usual and pretended that he didn't know about it. In short, rescue was impossible.

This was a critical moment in the war, and he couldn't divert a platoon of men to rescue two annoying old guys.

Even though Orochimaru is always thinking about experiments, he relies on his shadow clones to handle all his official duties.

He had already sensitively grasped the situation on the battlefield.

The Sand Village's front line was shrinking, and it seemed that even the number of enemies on the battlefield had decreased significantly.

Is there a possibility that...

That is because the Sand Village chose to provide support, but he did not choose to rescue. If that is the case, then his chance has come.

So Orochimaru went to find Shizuka.

Express your thoughts one by one.

"A lot of people from the Sand Village have indeed been sent out, but the impact on the war is not that great. The weather is the fatal point. Winter is coming, and there will definitely be problems with the supplies of the Sand Village, and transportation will become more difficult."

Shizuka has been using puppets to monitor the movements of the Sand Village camp.
