When Kaguya Ren finished his day's work and walked into the restaurant he usually frequented the most, ready to order a sumptuous dinner to treat himself, the first time he entered the door, he saw Tsunade who was violently dismantling a giant king crab, and Jiraiya, who was sitting next to her, looking at a plate of alien tempura fried from the deep sea in front of her.

"Ah, four generations of adults, this way~"

Seeing Kaguya's figure appear at the door of the restaurant, Mitarai Azuki immediately waved his hand at him naturally, signaling that he could come here.

And Kaguya looked at the empty tables around him, and after confirming with the boss whether it was Konoha and his party who had taken over the whole audience, he walked unhurriedly to the empty seat next to Jiraiya and sat down, and pointed at him mercilessly and sneered:

"The insect cuisine of Miaomu Mountain, you shouldn't have eaten it less when you practiced the immortal mode, right? How can a mere serving of deep-sea fish tempura stump you? ”

"I'm worried that this thing is poisonous, can't I?"

"Is Tsunade next to you an ornament? Even if the problem is so serious that she can't deal with it, isn't there still Orochimaru that can be used as insurance? ”

“…… Is it really good to say the name so bluntly? ”

"I've sent Red Beans out to pick up people, and I'm worried that you don't know that Orochimaru works for me?"

After unceremoniously criticizing Jiraiya's timidity, Kaguya Ren turned his head and looked at Mitarai Red Bean, who was feasting on a plate of crab roe fried rice, and asked:

"Red Bean, the topic of cooperation with Tsunade Hime, how are you talking here?"

"It's not going well, but it's not a big deal, and it shouldn't be difficult to continue talking after I take Tsunade-sama to our first curse sigil custom shop tomorrow."

Mitarai Red Bean swallowed the fragrant food in his mouth and replied indistinctly, while Tsunade, who had just dismantled the legs of the king crab and divided a portion and put it on Jiraiya's plate, frowned, and asked Kaguya:

"Wouldn't it be more straightforward for you to ask me directly about this kind of thing, Lord Mizukage?"

"Asking Hongdou is asking her about the progress of her work by the way, and asking Tsunade Ji yourself, but there is no such effect."

Kaguya shrugged her shoulders, picked up a piece of deep-sea fish tempura and took a bite, and while feeling the crispy and fragrant taste permeate her lips and teeth, she replied casually:

"What do you think of the chef's craft? I've been struggling for a long time about whether or not to recommend his family to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire and ask them to help promote the special food of our Water Country. ”

"It tastes great, and even though the ingredients used are things that I haven't touched much, I didn't feel anything bad about it the first time."

Tsunade was silent for a moment, but still gave a realistic answer, and for Tsunade's evaluation, Kaguya Ren raised her chin quite proudly, turned her head and said to the boss who was walking with the lobster soup he ordered:

"Boss, Tsunade Ji of Konoha Village, the Land of Fire, just gave you a very good compliment on your craftsmanship...... With her level of appreciation, you should already be qualified to be the representative of our food industry in the Land of Water, so let me introduce you to the Daimyo of the Land of Fire, should you consider entering the Land of Fire? ”

"Oh, that's a great comment, thank you for this distinguished guest," the boss who put down the plate bowed happily to Tsunade, who was pointed at by Kaguya, before politely refusing:

"But ah, the four generations of adults also know that I am not in good health, if I go to other countries, no one knows if I can live in good health, rather than pursuing any illusory reputation, you can continue to patronize my small shop, it is already the greatest recognition of my craftsmanship."

"Well, it's okay not to go, if you leave, I really can't find a place to replace your family craftsmanship for a while......"

"Haha, if the four generations of adults say that, I'll have to work harder."

The boss retreated with a smile, and Jiraiya, who had witnessed the conversation between the two throughout the whole process, narrowed his eyes and asked with some curiosity:

"Do you really like this boss's craft that much, Mizukage-sama?"

"This is Wuyin Village, anyway, there should be no one worthy of my special compliment."

Kaguya Ren gently took a sip of the lobster soup in front of her, nodded appreciatively, and continued:

"His craftsmanship is the real thing, but he has been staying in the fog and has not gone out, so that his reputation is not obvious......"

"It's not like Mizukage can say it."

Tsunade, who still maintained the stereotype of the fog, shook his head and sighed and said, "To be honest, until now, I still feel quite incredible about you Wuyin suddenly becoming like this......

"There are countless incredible things in the world, why is it only the fact that the fog is changing to make you feel so emotional, Tsunade-hime?"

Kaguya turned her face sideways, looked at Tsunade's ageless girl's face with those pure white eyes, and asked calmly.

"Because you have changed the heart of the foggy, there is nothing in the world that is more difficult to change than the heart."

Tsunade put down the cutlery in his hand and said in a deep tone:

"In the Blood Mist, I don't know how many people in the Fog Hide really believe in this creed, but under the rule of the three generations of Mizukage, or Madara Uchiha for so many years, it should have been deeply engraved in the hearts of all the people of the Fog Hide...... But now, at least as far as I could see, there was no trace left in the Blood Mist in the eyes of the inhabitants of the Fog. ”

"Why? Why can you do such a thing? Why are you, a ninja born in the mist, unaffected by the Blood Mist, and why have you been able to change so much in just two years for people who once believed in the policies of the Blood Mist? ”

"It's very simple."

Kaguya Ren raised his right hand, opened it slightly, then clenched it hard, then opened it again, and raised his other hand, pointing to the finger marks left in the palm of his hand when he clenched his fist hard, and said calmly:

"It takes a long, long time to learn how to clench your fists in a more lethal position, but opening your palms is an instinct that even newborn babies have."

"Whether it's the fog or the ninja world, it has taken a long time for everyone to learn how to clench their fists into the most lethal posture, and how to use their clenched hands to grasp weapons to hurt their enemies more effectively...... But on the other hand, a clenched fist only needs a little guidance from the brain to re-open. ”

"Even if you leave a mark on your palm when you clench it, over time, these seemingly deep marks will quickly recover and heal."

"I'm just letting the people of the fog know that sustaining their lives isn't just about clenching your fists and holding weapons and then using them to inflict damage on your enemies, that's all."
