[Disciple Uchiha Obito worked hard to practice and accumulate merits to be promoted to Jonin, and received rewards: Chakra +2400, item extraction scroll, unknown Pokémon egg (only Uchiha Obito can hatch)]
On the way home, Mu Yue passed by a clear river, washed her hands in the river, and then clicked to draw.
[The item extraction scroll has been used, and the reward is unknown Pokémon egg]
Mu Yue was slightly stunned when he saw the extraction information. He didn't expect that Obito contributed two Pokémon eggs for one task, and the ones he drew were not locked like the system rewards.
Mu Yue thought that he would draw an item related to Obito's abilities.
"Then I'll give it to Xiaolin when she's promoted to a formal jonin." Mu Yue thought to herself.
All the other disciples had it, except Nohara Rin, which was really embarrassing.
If the system does not reward, Mu Yue has no choice. After all, he can't conjure a Pokémon egg out of thin air and give it to Nohara Lin as a gift.
Since the system gave two, Mu Yue must give one to Nohara Lin.
Although Nohara Rin can sign a contract with Shitbone Forest to summon slugs, there is no such thing as too many good summoning beasts, and a ninja can sign a contract with multiple summoning beasts.
Moreover, compared to slugs, Pokémon generally have strong combat capabilities, which can make up for some of Nohara Rin's weaknesses in combat capabilities.
The only one who suffered a loss was Obito, and the reward became Nohara Rin's.
However, Mu Yue guessed that if Obito knew everything, he might be very happy, after all, this would better ensure Nohara Rin's safety.
When Mu Yue returned home, she found a letter from Minato Namikaze in the mailbox.
Mu Yue sat in the living room and opened the envelope to check.
"At this early winter, I heard about your deeds on the battlefield on the East Coast. I was very excited. The enemies who invaded our country were finally driven out of the country. With this passion, the cold winter wind could not dampen the heat in my body."
Mu Yue nodded slightly. This was exactly the effect that Sarutobi Hiruzen had specifically promoted, to boost the morale of Konoha ninjas on other battlefields.
"Since we parted at Loulan, we haven't seen each other for more than half a year. A few months ago, I returned to Konoha to rest for a while, but unfortunately, you were on the East Coast battlefield at that time, Muyue."
The past six months have been a difficult time for Konoha since the start of the war. With the Kirigakure invading the homeland and the Fire Country Daimyo exerting pressure, it has been difficult for the more powerful ninjas to have some free time.
"It's probably because the battle between Kumogakure and Sunagakure is so intense that there hasn't been much fighting in the Hot Spring Country battlefield where I'm located recently. I may go back to Konoha again in two or three months. I hope that by then we won't be too busy and we'll have a chance to meet."
Then Minato Namikaze briefly talked about his recent situation and some things that happened on the battlefield in the Land of Hot Springs.
"If you return to Konoha and have time, please help take care of Kushina. She loves your cooking very much. She hasn't tasted your cooking for so long. I'm afraid she misses it in her dreams."
Seeing Mu Yue showing a subtle expression at the end, it can be seen that Namikaze Minato really loves Kushina deeply. Even when he is on the battlefield, he is still worried about Kushina's daily life.
After Mu Yue put away the letter, she tidied up the house, then went out and opened her Byakugan to see if she could meet Kushina on the street.
Mu Yue had no way to contact Kushina on her own initiative. In the past, it was Kushina who passed information to Mu Yue through the Anbu.
But Mu Yue had no way of being sure whether Kushina would be the first to know the news of his return to Konoha, so Mu Yue chose to meet her by chance on the street first.
Because of the Nine-Tails, there is not much place for Kushina to move around. With the ability of Mu Yue's Byakugan, Mu Yue can meet Kushina as long as she walks outside.
If Kushina happened not to come out on that day, Mu Yue would have no choice but to go find Sarutobi Hiruzen and ask him if he had any news about the "missing" Kushina.
Although it's a bit confusing, there's nothing we can do about it, because Mu Yue doesn't know Kushina's identity as the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki on the surface.
Mu Yue was lucky. Kushina went out shopping today. Judging from her lip shape, she seemed to be humming a little tune while walking and seemed to be in a good mood.
Mu Yue thought about it and pretended to be strolling slowly towards Kushina. It was reasonable for him, a ninja who had just come down from the battlefield, to go shopping and relax.
"Mu Yue, long time no see. I actually ran into you." When Mu Yue was more than ten meters away from Kushina, Kushina saw the familiar blond figure and immediately smiled, waved and shouted.
"Long time no see." Mu Yue responded with just the right amount of surprise, then walked towards Kushina.
Kushina trotted over to Mu Yue, patted her on the shoulder and said proudly,
"A few days ago, I saw your military exploits in the newspaper, so I guessed that you might return to Konoha soon. I thought I might run into you while walking around outside, and I actually ran into you."
"I'm awesome, right? If it were Minato, he might not have thought of this." Kushina put her hands on her hips and smiled proudly.
"Great." Mu Yue nodded in praise. It was indeed not easy for Kushina to think of this.
"Mu Yue, you are very powerful. I didn't expect you to be so strong. You even killed a Jinchūriki. I was shocked." Kushina gave Mu Yue a thumbs up.
As the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, Kushina is well aware of the horror of the tailed beasts. Even for her, becoming a Jinchuriki was not easy, so fighting against a complete tailed beast would be extremely dangerous.
In the past, Mu Yue had left three main impressions on Kushina.
First, he is a very good teacher and was recognized by Sarutobi Hiruzen for his great contributions in the field of education.
Second, he is a good friend with a gentle personality and is an excellent cook.
The third is a disciple who has a very good talent in the art of sealing and can be compared with her in talent in the art of sealing.
Kushina was once very worried that Mu Yue would lose his life in this chaotic situation. She was very serious every time she taught Mu Yue the sealing technique, hoping to improve Mu Yue's ability to deal with crises.
But recently, Mu Yue has given Kushina a new impression of a powerful ninja who can kill everyone on the battlefield.
"Recently, your prestige has even surpassed that of Minato. If I hadn't read the newspaper bought by the Anbu, I would have thought there was a ninja with the same name as you but with the surname Lieyang. Now, many people in Konoha often discuss someone called Lieyang Muyue." Kushina complained.
Maybe it's because Lieyang Muyue sounds easier to pronounce. Generally, few people call someone by their full name when they see the title Muyue. They just use the title plus their given name without the surname.
Mu Yue and Kushina walked and talked, and finally they arrived at the restaurant where he once cooked for Kushina.
"This store is still open." Kushina looked at the store sign and some memories emerged in her mind.
At that time, she had just become the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki not long ago, and she met Mu Yue while strolling around. In the end, Mu Yue chose a restaurant that was not doing well and borrowed its kitchen to cook for her.
Kushina remembered it very clearly, because the Nine-Tails' Chakra made her irritated at that time, and Minato was out on a mission, which made Kushina even more irritated. It was the incredibly delicious food that made her forget her troubles temporarily.
"And it looks like business is good." Mu Yue said after taking a look around.
Compared with the previous desertedness, the restaurant now looks very popular and all the seats are full of people.
Kushina turned around and wanted to leave. If the business was so good, they probably wouldn't lend her the kitchen, and Kushina didn't want to disturb the other party's business.
"Master Mu Yue!" When the boss saw Mu Yue, his eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted.
When the restaurant owner shouted this, everyone in the restaurant looked at Mu Yue. Mu Yue was very famous in Konoha now. Even ordinary people knew his deeds and knew that there was a strong man named Hanyu Mu Yue among the Konoha ninjas.
All the ninjas in the restaurant called out "Master Mu Yue" with respect.
Mu Yue played a huge role in the East Coast battlefield. The fact that they could stay in the rear with peace of mind was the result of the efforts of ninjas like Mu Yue, so they respected strong men like Mu Yue from the bottom of their hearts.
Mu Yue responded with a smile one by one.
The restaurant owner ran to Mu Yue and said with gratitude:
"Thank you so much. If I hadn't felt the mystery of cooking from your dishes, I'm afraid my restaurant would have closed down due to poor business."
The restaurant owner once tried Mu Yue's cooking and exchanged it for temporary use of the kitchen. The taste is still unforgettable to this day.
Although many people now praise his cooking skills, the restaurant owner still thinks he has not reached even one percent of Mu Yue's level.
"No need to thank me, these are the result of your own efforts." Mu Yue replied, shaking her head.
Chef skills cannot help people who eat the food improve their cooking skills. It is mainly because the restaurant owner has to learn something on his own.
"You are too modest." The restaurant owner looked at Kushina who was silent, and took the initiative to ask:
"Do you still want to borrow the kitchen? I can lend it to you anytime."
"You must be very busy here, so we won't disturb you." Mu Yue politely declined the restaurant owner's kindness.
It was the peak dining time in the restaurant right now, and he would have to waste quite a bit of time borrowing the room, which might make some customers unhappy. Konoha wasn't the only place that could cook, and Mu Yue felt that it was unnecessary.
"Don't bother you. I have a small kitchen here that I rarely use. I usually only use it when I'm cooking. Today I just put a batch of fresh ingredients in there." The restaurant owner explained.
Mu Yue glanced at Kushina out of the corner of her eye. Kushina seemed to want to say something but stopped herself and finally closed her mouth.
"Then thank you for your help." Seeing that the restaurant owner had said this, Mu Yue nodded in agreement.
Since it would not affect the restaurant business, Mu Yue had no reason to refuse the restaurant owner's kindness, and Kushina also seemed to be in a hurry to eat.
The restaurant owner took Mu Yue and Kushina into the small kitchen and left. Mu Yue glanced at the ingredients and quickly thought of the dishes she wanted to make.
Kushina felt embarrassed to eat for free, so she took the initiative to help Mu Yue.
Seeing the ingredients gradually transformed into delicious dishes under Mu Yue's processing, Kushina could hardly hold back her drooling.
"Braised pork, squirrel fish..." Kushina looked at the finished dishes with eager eyes.
She even dreamed yesterday of eating the Braised Pork with Preserved Vegetables made by Mu Yue.
Mu Yue didn't let Kushina wait too long. When she felt it was about time, she stopped and started eating with Kushina in the small kitchen.
"I'm starting to eat." Although the environment was not an ordinary dining environment, Kushina still said it with a sense of ceremony.
When Kushina picked up a piece of braised pork and put it into her mouth to chew, she couldn't help but reveal a happy smile on her face.
In a trance, Kushina seemed to have gone to a free world, and an extremely refreshing feeling surged in her heart.
At this moment, all Kushina wanted to say was "We're back, we're all back."
Then Kushina took a piece of each dish with chopsticks, savoring the flavor carefully, and then she used her true eating ability to quickly finish the food in front of her like a whirlwind.
"Mmm, it's so delicious. Compared to your cooking, Mu Yue, the food that the Anbu bought for me is simply inedible." Kushina almost shed tears of emotion.
Sometimes Kushina wondered why there was no ninjutsu for long-distance teleportation, so that she could also get Mu Yue's food when she was on the battlefield.
However, Kushina was just thinking about it. How could she feel comfortable trouble Mu Yue to spend energy to cook for her in such an environment on the battlefield?
"It's a pity that Minato is not here. He hasn't eaten your cooking, Mu Yue, for a long time." Kushina thought of Minato Namikaze who was far away in the Land of Hot Springs.
Although she was happy now, Kushina thought that the happiest time was when the three of them had meals and chatted together.
"You two are quite in sync with each other." Mu Yue said jokingly.
"Minato sent me a letter, asking me to cook you a meal if I return to Konoha, saying that you must be craving for it in your dreams after not having eaten for so long."
"What? Why do I feel like a person who only thinks about eating? I think Minato was dreaming about this." Kushina said in panic with her cheeks slightly flushed.
Kushina was a little panicked because she really had the dream yesterday.
Kushina now felt as embarrassed as a child whose secret fantasy was exposed.
"Maybe." Mu Yue smiled and didn't continue the topic.
"Let's go for a walk. We need to digest the meal. By the way, I want to test you whether you have been studying sealing techniques seriously recently." Kushina quickly changed the subject.
Mu Yue nodded in agreement, and the two of them walked together to the park pavilion, where Kushina asked Mu Yue a few questions related to her more advanced knowledge of sealing techniques.
Mu Yue's performance was beyond Kushina's expectations. Mu Yue answered all of Kushina's questions calmly, not like a ninja who had only learned sealing techniques for more than two years.
"Mu Yue, you must be very tired every day, as you have to exercise and spend a lot of time learning sealing techniques." Kushina believed that Mu Yue's achievement was the result of spending a lot of time and hard work studying.
"Not bad." Mu Yue replied.
He did spend a lot of time on sealing techniques, but his training in other areas was not as Kushina thought. Most of them were directly added by the system.
Then Kushina taught Mu Yue some knowledge about sealing techniques. She had a feeling that maybe she wouldn't be able to teach Mu Yue for long, because Mu Yue was really talented and hardworking.
When they finally said goodbye, Mu Yue told Kushina that if she wanted to have a hot meal, she could just find the ninja and inform him.
The next morning, Mu Yue went to the South Forest and saw Obito standing there with an expectant look on his face.
