Naruto: I Sell Jars in Konoha Village.

Chapter 202 Tsunade's Invitation, Tsunade's Re-invitation, Tsunade's Delightful Momen

"Yes, that's what my father told me too."

Hearing Shizune's words, Hinata spoke softly: "Father said that the cider tavern can have a daily limit, and then focus on selling it at a high price in this karaoke bar, with unlimited supply."

Mute nodded approvingly once again.

While Shizune and Hinata were talking.

Lin Mo had already reached the entrance to the backyard and was looking at Tsunade and Hyuga Hanabi in the training ground.

While Hyuga Hanabi was training, Tsunade was lazily lying on a chair next to her, directing Hyuga Hanabi.

When Lin Mo looked at Tsunade, he immediately saw the virtual number 95 for her appearance.

"really."

Seeing this appearance rating, Lin Mo was not surprised at all.

So, if I want to complete a Rank B mission, the responsibility falls on Tsunade.

Lin Mo squinted at the reward for the B-level mission.

Compared to the rewards for C-level missions, B-level missions offer additional rewards such as celestial items and mysterious prizes.

He didn't want to miss out on such a generous reward.

"Um?"

At that moment, Tsunade, who was lying down, suddenly caught a glimpse of a familiar figure standing at the backyard gate looking in her direction. She was stunned for a moment, and a strange expression appeared on her face.

It was Lin Mo.

You should know that since I returned to Konoha Village, I have spent almost all of my time here training in fireworks.

Lin Mo also rarely came to the backyard.

They've actually come.

Tsunade was a little curious, but a cheerful smile appeared on her lips as she got up and walked towards Lin Mo.

"Lin Mo, why did you suddenly come to the backyard today?"

Tsunade's voice was cheerful, with a hint of teasing: "Before we went out to eat, I noticed you never came to the backyard."

Hearing Tsunade's words, Lin Mo shook his head and chuckled, "I just didn't want to move before. I just came to check on Hanabi's training."

At this point, Lin Mo glanced warily at Hyuga Hanabi, who was diligently cultivating not far away.

Hanahisa was training very seriously, and there was a light sheen of sweat on her forehead.

However, Hanabi noticed Lin Mo looking over and heard his gaze. Her eyes lit up with excitement.

They immediately trained even more diligently.

It seems she wanted to show Lin Mo how hard she was working.

Lin Mo smiled wryly when he saw Hua Huo's actions.

Then Lin Mo looked at Tsunade and slowly said, "Speaking of which, what are you planning to eat for lunch? I'm planning to go to Ayame's shop for snail rice noodles today. Do you want to come along?"

1

"Luosifen (river snail rice noodles)?"

Tsunade raised an eyebrow upon hearing Lin Mo's words: "Not bad, I thought you'd be cooking at your shop today."

"Don't be fooled by Shizune coming with me just now. She still has Hyuga clan matters to attend to, and she's just waiting for Hinata here."

"If we let Tian Tian cook, it seems like it would be too much trouble for all of us to have lunch. Why don't we just go to Changpu's place for a meal?"

"Since you said so, then it's my treat."

Thinking about the KTV that TunTun opened yesterday, I talked with Hinata Hiashi last night about the KTV's profit model and some promotional plans.

She knew that this KTV would bring her a lot of money.

Thinking of this, Tsunade patted Lin Mo on the shoulder cheerfully and said with a smile, "Perfect timing! Let's celebrate what I got from opening those cans yesterday with Ton-Ton. How about I treat you to some?"

Upon hearing Tsunade's words, Lin Mowen was slightly taken aback, seemingly not expecting Tsunade to offer to treat him to a meal.

However, upon hearing Tsunade's words and seeing her expression that left no room for refusal, Lin Mo smiled and nodded: "In that case, I won't stand on ceremony."

"very good!"

Seeing that Lin Mo did not refuse, Tsunade's smile became even brighter.

Finally, I've found a topic to talk about with this person.

And this is a good start.

Normally, when he talked to Lin Mo, he always felt that Lin Mo was out of place with them.

That feeling was like something drifting by, sometimes near, sometimes far.

But the way Lin Mo was talking to me now seemed very "down-to-earth".

As Tsunade thought this, Lin Mo was also filled with emotion.

The task at hand now seems less complicated than he had anticipated, and is actually quite easy.

comfortable.

After agreeing to have lunch, Lin Mo returned to the jar shop in a relaxed mood, receiving the items that Tian Tian had opened.

Meanwhile, Tsunade continued training Hyuga Hanabi.

"Tap tap tap!"

Not long after, a series of hurried footsteps sounded.

Outside the jar shop, Tiantian ran in carrying her glowing elf egg incubator, her eyes filled with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness.

"Linmo, Linmo, how do I use this elf egg hatching device?"

Every day, as soon as she ran into the jar shop, she blinked her eyes and carefully held the Vulpixel egg.

He quickly asked Lin Mo, "How should I place this elf egg?"

She didn't quite understand how to use the device.

"It's very simple, just place it like this."

Hearing Tian Tian's words, Lin Mo couldn't help but chuckle.

He pointed to the top of the Pokémon egg hatching device and said, "Put the egg in this hatching chamber, then press this button. It's very easy."

"Oh, I see. I was afraid I wouldn't know how to do it and would break it, so I didn't press it."

"I'll press it now."

Following Lin Mo's instructions, Tian Tian gently placed the six-tailed spirit egg, which emitted a faint, warm glow, into the incubation device and pressed the start button.

With a soft mechanical hum, a gentle light emanated from the transparent chamber of the incubation device, gradually enveloping the elf egg.

"This will speed up the hatching of Pokémon?"

At this moment, Hinata, who was standing to the side, stared at the Pokémon egg incubation device with curiosity and a hint of surprise.

I actually got this item every day.

She didn't understand this novel thing, but seeing Tian Tian's nervous and excited appearance, she couldn't help but be "infected" by it.

I also learned about this from what Tiantian just said.

"right.

He nodded repeatedly and explained the device to Hinata.

This also made the silent person next to him look completely understanding.

Oh, I didn't know there was such a thing.

Time passed by, second by second.

More than two hours passed, and it was getting closer to noon.

Lin Mo glanced out the window and, feeling it was about time, instructed Tian Tian, ​​"Go to the backyard and tell Tsunade that we should go to Ayame's snail rice noodle shop for lunch."

"Huh? You want some snail rice noodles? Okay, okay."

Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Tian Tian nodded hurriedly.

He then ran to the backyard.

Soon, Lin Mo, Tsunade, Tenten, Hinata Hyuga, and Hinata Hyuga headed towards the snail rice noodle shop.

Along the way, Hanabi and Tenten kept discussing the hatching process of the Pokémon egg.

Hinata listened quietly, occasionally revealing a gentle smile.

Tsunade walked alongside, her heart filled with anticipation, eager to see what delicious lunch would be like. Soon, when the group arrived at Ayame's snail rice noodle shop, it was nearly 11 a.m.

At this moment, Changpu was standing at the shop entrance.

When she saw Lin Mo and several familiar faces approaching, a delighted smile immediately appeared on her face: "Lin Mo, Lady Tsunade? And Hinata and Hanabi too, you actually came at noon."

"Of course, it's Lady Tsunade's treat today."

Hyuga Hanabi chuckled: "We're eating Tsunade-sama's food today."

"That's right, it's on me."

Tsunade laughed heartily and said, "Ayame, I'll trouble you to prepare a few more servings today."

"no problem!"

Upon hearing this, Changpu excitedly patted her chest and quickly gestured for the others to sit down: "You all sit and rest first, I'll go prepare right away, it'll be ready in a moment!"

Watching Ayame happily turn around and get busy, Lin Mo, Tsunade, and the others sat down at the long wooden table inside the snail rice noodle shop.

The shop is filled with the unique aroma of snail rice noodles, with a slightly spicy and sour taste that makes people's mouths water.

Hanabi and Tenten sat at the table, continuing their hushed discussion about hatching the Pokémon egg.

Hinata sat quietly to the side, occasionally smiling at everyone, her eyes revealing a warm feeling.

However, Lin Mo, who had just sat down, suddenly raised an eyebrow and looked behind Tsunade.

The table at the back, near the corner.

In a slightly dim corner.

A young woman lowered her head, completely absorbed in her own emotions.

She was wearing a Konoha ninja uniform, and her long purple hair flowed smoothly over her shoulders.

A few strands of hair fell beside her cheeks, obscuring half of her expression.

He appeared unusually silent and melancholy.

Her hands were clasped tightly together on the table, her shoulders were slightly drooping, and she looked tired and haggard.

His gaze was blank as he stared at the table in front of him, his eyes seemingly filled with unspeakable sorrow and helplessness, and even a hint of confusion and resentment.

That familiar yet unfamiliar figure and profile made a name involuntarily surface in Lin Mo's memory.

Mao Yue sunset.

Isn't this a special Jonin from Konoha?

Moreover, he was an Anbu ninja directly under Hiruzen Sarutobi.

Lovers of Moonlight and Gale.

Are the missions in the shadows easy?

Surprisingly, I saw this person take off their mask and sit inside the shop.

Ordinary ANBU ninjas wear masks whether they are on duty or carrying out missions, and rarely take them off.

Unless you take a day off in lieu of leave.

However, Lin Mo narrowed his eyes and lingered on her for a moment.

Seeing his dejected expression, Lin Mo raised an eyebrow.

Could it be related to Moonlight Gale?

Yes.

The preliminary rounds of the third Chunin Exams have now concluded.

The incident involving Moonlight Gale happened in just a few days.

It seems something has happened?

Otherwise, how could I have seen this person here?

Thinking this to himself, Lin Mo quickly looked away and stopped staring.

After all, he knew that Uzuki Yugao didn't know him, and he had no reason to bother her.

Besides, he had dinner with Tsunade today.

Lin Mo glanced at the time left before the mission was completed, and breathed a sigh of relief.

If nothing unexpected happens, there shouldn't be any problems.

"Lin Mo, what are you looking at?"

Seeing Lin Mo suddenly pause, Tsunade couldn't help but ask him a question out of curiosity.

"It's nothing."

Lin Mo smiled faintly, as if nothing had happened, and said in a relaxed tone, "I just didn't expect Tsunade to treat me to dinner."

"If you're willing, I'll cover all our food expenses from now on!"

Upon hearing Lin Mo's words, Tsunade laughed heartily.

It would be a good thing to build a good relationship with this person.

How much can I spend on a meal?

Moreover, he had already opened jars in Lin Mo's shop and gained experience in brewing cider that could generate a steady stream of income.

There's also KTV.

It was such a small favor for her to book all of Lin Mo's future meals!

Although she didn't think Lin Mo would agree to continue.

Lin Mo chuckled upon hearing Tsunade's words.

Tsunade then got up and discussed the special meal for today with Ayame.

The atmosphere inside the shop remained warm and inviting, filled with the aroma of snail rice noodles, which made one's appetite increase.

Lin Mo sat there, watching the busy calamus and the playful fireworks and tenten beside him, focusing on his B-level mission.

"Here it comes, here it comes."

Soon, Changpu brought over a huge bowl of snail rice noodles.

Everyone happily enjoyed the snail rice noodles.

As time passed, a huge bowl of steaming hot snail rice noodles gradually emptied on the table.

The rich broth, mixed with a sour and spicy aroma, filled the air.

Lin Mo and Tsunade sat facing each other, exchanging a few words of casual conversation every now and then.

Tsunade laughed heartily at times and frowned at others, seemingly very interested in the amusing stories Lin Mo told. Her cheerful laughter enlivened the atmosphere at the entire table.

Lin Mo, on the other hand, looked relaxed.

He would occasionally pick up the remaining ingredients from the bowl with his chopsticks, his tone casual yet gentle.

During his conversation with Tsunade, he deliberately teased her several times, making her burst into laughter.

The meal seemed to bring the two closer together, creating a pleasant atmosphere like that of old friends reuniting.

Hyuga Hanabi, who was sitting next to her, was enjoying her meal immensely.

When she really couldn't eat anymore, Hinata Hanabi patted her slightly bulging belly with her little hands, her face full of a satisfied smile: "Ah, it was so delicious! I'm so full!"

Hinata Hanabi leaned back in her chair, let out a long sigh, and her eyes sparkled with satisfaction.

Hinata, standing to the side, couldn't help but smile indulgently at her younger sister's appearance and said softly, "Hanabi, you've eaten too much. Be careful not to get indigestion when you get back."

"It's okay, sister!"

Hanabi smiled innocently and waved her hand, "The snail rice noodles are so delicious today!"

"And there's training in the afternoon, so it'll be easy to digest."

Seeing this, Tenten couldn't help but laugh and tease, "Hanabi, you look so greedy!"

They probably won't show up outside.

"That's for sure."

Hearing Tenten's words, Hinata Hanabi blushed slightly and turned her head to say, "We're all on the same side!"

The relaxed and cheerful atmosphere among the group infected the entire snail rice noodle shop.

Even the calamus came over with a smile.

The store was filled with laughter and cheerful conversation.

There was still someone lying in the corner watching, seemingly asleep.

Seeing Tsunade pay the bill, Lin Mo's face also lit up with a bright smile.

Looking at the empty space in front of him, only he could see the task, and a task completion notification appeared.

This made Lin Mo sigh.

This B-level mission was quite easy to complete.

The rewards for this task are very generous.

Celestial items and mysterious rewards.

He almost couldn't resist submitting it on the spot.

"I'll submit it when I get back and check the rewards. I'll also open the other C-level mission scroll tonight."

Thinking that he still had a mission scroll to complete, Lin Mo squinted his eyes.

If you can unlock something like a Word of Power, then you can increase your strength.

While Lin Mo was in a good mood, Tsunade noticed it and her eyes lit up slightly.

She felt that her relationship with Lin Mo had taken a step closer today.

Lin Mo seemed quite pleased.

It seems I should have meals with Lin Mo more often to deepen our relationship.

Thinking of this, Tsunade narrowed her eyes and patted Lin Mo's shoulder: "How about I treat you to drinks tonight?"

"It's not impossible."

Lin Mo's expression turned strange upon hearing Tsunade's words.

But he nodded.

Perfect timing, I'll take apart another C-level mission scroll tonight and see.

Then, while chatting, everyone left Changpu's snail rice noodle shop.
