Chapter 359 - 357 Weapons for Ordinary People

"You've all finished eating!"

When Tsunade and Orochimaru returned to the kitchen, they saw the dishes on the dining table had been eaten clean, and Hyuga Mio and Uchiha Hikari were clearing the table.

"Who told you to be so slow!"

Ichikishimahime floated sideways in the air, picking her teeth with a toothpick, and waved her hand, saying, "You guys can just make do with soldier pills!"

"Who wants to eat soldier pills!"

Tsunade clutched her hungry stomach. She had eaten countless soldier pills on the battlefield, and the mere mention of them made her nauseous.

"It seems she's been appeased!"

Uzumaki Chigusa, dusty from travel, walked into the dining room following the sound, with snowflakes still unmelted on her head.

"Orochimaru had to use every trick in her book to appease me!"

Tsunade glared fiercely at Uzumaki Chigusa.

"Chigusa, stay here tonight."

Orochimaru looked at the snow on Uzumaki Chigusa, thinking she must have gone to clean the snow off her sports car.

"You should have said so earlier. If I had known, I wouldn't have gone out to clean."

Uzumaki Chigusa said glumly. To avoid scratching her beloved car, she had been extra careful while cleaning, fearing to leave any marks on the body.

"Speaking of which, Sister Chigusa, that car you're driving is the latest model from White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company. It must be extremely expensive, right?"

Tsunade recalled the white and blue sports car, which was only sold to the privileged; ordinary people couldn't buy it even if they wanted to.

"It's nothing major, just a few tens of millions of ryo, I guess?"

Uzumaki Chigusa said casually, though in reality, she didn't know how much a sports car cost.

"The design blueprints for the sports car were provided by Orochimaru, you know~!"

Everyone looked at Ichikishimahime, who was lazily propped up, resting her chin on her hands, and said, "I saw Orochimaru drawing the blueprints before."

Everyone's gaze converged on Orochimaru.

"You know that White Snake Pharmaceutical Technology Company and I have a cooperative relationship." All the people in the company are working for me in a cooperative relationship, right?

Orochimaru added a sentence in her heart.

Grrr—!

Tsunade's stomach protested once again.

Everyone's gaze focused on Tsunade's stomach.

Tsunade clutched her stomach tightly, her face flushed, unable to utter a single word, only hating why her stomach had to make noise at such a moment.

"Alright, stop looking. Tsunade didn't eat much just now, she was too busy being angry."

Orochimaru spoke up to rescue Tsunade, walking towards the kitchen, "Tsunade, what do you want to eat? I'll make you something."

"I…"

Tsunade was about to retort when she heard this, and she quickly followed.

"I want to eat soy sauce chicken!"

"I'll see if there are any ingredients left. If not, I'll have to make something else."

Orochimaru remembered there was still diced chicken in the fridge. If not, she couldn't do anything about it. At this hour, she couldn't possibly go grocery shopping, could she?

"Why does Orochimaru feel like she's taking care of a child?"

Uzumaki Chigusa looked at Tsunade walking beside Orochimaru, as if seeing a young Tsunade with pigtails.

"Orochimaru has been taking care of Tsunade for over ten years."

Hyuga Mio recalled a mission many years ago to escort confidential documents to Tsuru Castle in the Land of Iron. Even then, Orochimaru was taking care of Tsunade, and Tsunade was very clingy to Orochimaru, harboring great hostility towards her.

"That long?"

Uzumaki Chigusa said in surprise.

Not just her, but even Uchiha Hikari and Ichikishimahime were surprised.

"At that time, I received a mission to escort confidential documents to…"

Hyuga Mio briefly recounted a mission she executed many years ago.

"It seems Tsuna already had a bit of a crush on Orochimaru back then, she just hadn't realized it herself yet."

Uzumaki Chigusa said with a smile. If Tsunade had realized it earlier, there wouldn't have been any chance for them.

Kitchen

"Achoo!"

Tsunade sneezed again.

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade, who had sneezed several times in a row, and asked with concern, "Tsunade, are you alright?"

"They must be laughing at me!"

Tsunade rubbed her reddened nose, looking at Orochimaru with resentment, and complained, "It's all your fault! All your fault!"

"Alas, my fault. It's my fault that you couldn't eat at the dinner table, and it's my fault that you're angry… I, a sinner, can only cook Princess Tsunade's favorite soy sauce chicken to atone for my mistakes and beg for Princess Tsunade's forgiveness."

Orochimaru sighed, skillfully adding seasoning to the pot, and using Fire Release Chakra to speed up the process, greatly shortening the preparation time for the soy sauce chicken. The taste, however, might be slightly inferior.

"Orochimaru, I…"

Tsunade looked at Orochimaru, who was cooking for her, and felt a little guilty. She hugged him from behind and whispered, "I shouldn't blame you…"

"It's alright, I'm not angry. Don't I know what you're like?"

Orochimaru could be said to understand Tsunade better than she understood herself. If she were truly that easy to anger, they would absolutely not have become lovers. Fighting every few days would be considered light.

"Hehe!"

Tsunade looked at Orochimaru's profile and kissed his cheek.

"If you interfere with me again, I'll throw you out."

Orochimaru looked at Tsunade, who kept interfering with him, wondering if she actually wanted to eat early, or if she was so hungry that she no longer felt hungry.

"Then throw me out!"

Tsunade didn't believe Orochimaru would throw her out.

"Alright, I surrender."

Orochimaru, helpless, could only make the soy sauce chicken with Tsunade's interference. He tasted a piece, and as he expected, the taste wasn't as good as when made with normal methods.

"Tsunade, the job of clearing the dishes is yours."

Orochimaru tidied up the kitchen and left the dish-clearing to Tsunade.

"Leave it to me!"

Tsunade gobbled down rice with the soy sauce chicken, which tasted slightly worse than before. When she was hungry, it felt even more delicious than anything she had ever eaten.

In the bathroom, Uzumaki Chigusa lay in the bathtub, looking at the large tub that could fit three or four people. She couldn't help but think of plots from certain forbidden books. She looked at Orochimaru, who had entered the bathroom, and said meaningfully, "Orochimaru, such a big bathtub, you must often…"

"Don't bring forbidden book plots into the real world. Doing it in the bathtub is bad for your health."

Orochimaru crossed his arms. From the excitement on Uzumaki Chigusa's face, he could tell what she was thinking. He had told her so many times, yet she always brought plots from forbidden books into reality and always wanted to try them.

The most annoying thing was that he always had to cooperate!

The key was, those were forbidden books!

The battlefields in forbidden books were not limited to the bedroom; it was no exaggeration to say that everywhere was a battlefield. How was he supposed to cooperate with that!

"Speaking of which, how did you appease Tsuna?"

Uzumaki Chigusa's pale legs were crossed, and her slightly narrowed red eyes made her look somewhat lazy and unhurried.

"Chigusa, you actually don't need to deliberately provoke Tsunade."

Orochimaru entered the bathtub and sat beside Uzumaki Chigusa.

"With Tsuna's temper, if she doesn't vent now, once I leave…"
