Ryun looked at Hashirama Senju and could not help but sigh. Tsunade's grandfather was good in every way, except he was too gentle, making him seem easy to bully.
The two of them watched as the wedding hall essentially became the stage for Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju. They exchanged a smile and sat in the dressing room to eat. After all, food is the fuel for the body, and with two heavyweight elders outside, nothing should go wrong.
Tsunade and Ryun had important matters to attend to that night. How could they not eat their fill at noon?
Ryun had prepared a special meal for them: Large Soup Yellow Croaker, Braised Yellow River Carp, Steamed Perch with Rice Flour, Milk Soup Hot Pot Fish... all kinds of famous dishes.
Tsunade was drooling at the sight, but out of restraint, she did not immediately pick up her chopsticks. Instead, she looked at her husband, Ryun.
Ryun stood up, walked behind Tsunade, took off his own hair tie, and tied Tsunade's hair into a bun so she wouldn't have to worry about her hair getting in the way while eating.
Tsunade felt warmth in her heart and smiled. She watched as Ryun returned to sit beside her, then kissed him on the cheek playfully, saying, "Thank you, hubby~"
Ryun was slightly stunned for a moment before reacting. A smile spread across his face as he picked up his chopsticks with his right hand and began serving food to Tsunade.
"Here, try this, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall. It's exceptionally fresh~ They say even practicing monks, upon smelling its aroma, would be tempted to jump over the wall and break their vows just to have a taste," Ryun said, using his chopsticks to pick up an abalone and bring it to Tsunade's lips.
Tsunade raised an eyebrow, her eyes lighting up. Among all the dishes, this clay pot was the most enticing. The rich, savory seafood aroma was utterly captivating. This was the dish she had been most looking forward to!
To think Ryun, no, to think her hubby would serve her this dish first. Could he read minds?
As she thought this, Tsunade parted her crimson lips, gently took the abalone from Ryun's chopsticks, and bit into it.
Instantly, her eyes sparkled. "So fresh, so delicious~ This abalone is savory, salty, and fragrant, with a tender, soft texture. It's absolutely top quality. And with this rich broth... ah~ hubby~ I want more~"
Ryun felt pleased. Well, the recipe provided by the system was quite reliable. Every step was written in extreme detail. As long as the chef followed it exactly, the dish would turn out well.
Additionally, after signing an agreement with Kirigakure, the Land of Water had opened trading ports for commerce with the Land of Fire. As a result, the Land of Fire no longer lacked fresh, precious seafood.
That was how this bowl of Buddha Jumps Over the Wall came to be. Ryun picked up a piece of shark fin with his chopsticks and offered it to Tsunade. Tsunade looked puzzled. This was... shark fin!!! She remembered having it once as a child when she accompanied her father to a palace banquet!
Later, because it was too rare, or rather, too difficult to harvest, she had basically never had it again. Now, looking at this translucent shark fin, she felt ripples of emotion in her heart...
"Wife, as good as abalone is, moderation is key. Here, try this shark fin. It's tender, smooth, and slightly chewy. The fin needles are juicy, infused with a rich, fresh seafood aroma," Ryun explained to Tsunade.
Tsunade felt there was a deeper meaning behind Ryun's words, but with such delicious food before her, she couldn't be bothered to overthink it. Time to feast!
Tsunade bit into the shark fin, and in that moment, she was conquered by its texture and flavor. So delicious! The taste was fresh and refreshing, leaving a rich, aromatic fragrance between her lips and teeth as she chewed. It was fragrant, enticing, and extraordinary.
Tsunade was entranced. "Did you create these dishes?" Her eyes sparkled with admiration as she looked at Ryun. Seeing this, Ryun ignored the system and nodded. "Yes, I developed them. How are they? Do you like them?"
"I love them! My hubby is so amazing~ Hehe, hubby, kiss~" As she spoke, Tsunade leaned in and gave Ryun a peck on the lips! Then she continued eating!
This left Ryun completely flustered. His face turned slightly red and warm, but he quickly circulated his chakra to restore his complexion to normal.
Chakra was truly a wonderful thing. It could be used in any situation!
The two of them spent two hours eating this meal. Given their physiques, they were only about eighty percent full!
By now, the guests outside should have finished eating too, right? Ryun held Tsunade's hand, pushed the door open, and walked out.
The once lively wedding hall was now empty, with only a few Uchiha and Senju clansmen left cleaning up.
Oh, and Madara Uchiha and Hashirama Senju were still there. Hashirama, his face flushed, was clinging to Madara's leg, crying, "Madara~ Don't leave me~ I miss you..."
Madara had a dark expression on his face. "Hashirama! Let go! Release me! Don't make me slap you!"
"No, Madara, I won't let go. This time, I won't let go even if you kill me! Wuwu, I spent every day in the Pure Land looking for you!" Hashirama whined pitifully.
Madara glanced at the villagers pointing and gossiping outside the hall, took a deep breath, and shouted, "Hashirama!" Then, he struck Hashirama's carotid artery with his palm, attempting to knock him out.
However, Hashirama only let out a pained cry and did not lose consciousness. Instead, he wailed, "Madara, it hurts, it hurts so much~"
Madara was exasperated. Finally, Tobirama Senju came to the rescue and managed to calm Hashirama down. As Tobirama dragged Hashirama home, Hashirama kept muttering things like "Madara, don't go" and similar pleas.
Madara was speechless. Seeing the people around pointing and staring, he quickly performed a dozen Body Flicker Techniques, transforming into a blur as he vanished from the wedding hall entrance and reappeared at home.
Ryun and Tsunade laughed until their stomachs hurt watching this scene. "I never thought Great-Grandfather would have a day like this! Hahaha, I really should have recorded it with a camera!" Tsunade exclaimed.
"No wonder Grandma said the biggest rival in her life was Madara Uchiha. If Madara were a woman, we probably would have gone from being a married couple to siblings!" Tsunade remarked with emotion.
Ryun's cheerful expression instantly fell. Siblings? Siblings? No, absolutely not. It was better to let those two love and hate each other as they were.
Then, Ryun took Tsunade's soft, smooth hand and led her toward their new home.
For convenience, Ryun had spent a fortune to buy a plot of land in the center of the village, equidistant from the Uchiha and Senju compounds, and built a new house there.
Now, it was time to move in!
Tsunade's face flushed with shyness. She knew about this place, but it hadn't been fully decorated back then. Ryun had told her, "This will be our home. After we get married, we will live here."
Now that they were officially married and the house was completed, it was time to move in.
When they reached the villa's entrance, Ryun used a key to unlock the door, gently pushed it open, and stepped inside.
Before them stood a two-story apartment. The first floor alone looked to be over two hundred square meters, and with two floors, it totaled more than four hundred square meters. It appeared exceptionally luxurious and spacious!
