Hokage, no one knows better than me how to cultivate talent.

Chapter 122 Kurenai Yuhi, there are other people around.

Qiu Shui was truly afraid that one careless movement of hers might accidentally touch those soft breasts.

Fortunately, he is a focused person.

Once he saw the broth boiling, he immediately added the blanched chicken pieces, brought it to a boil over high heat, then immediately turned the heat down to low, skimmed off any foam with a spoon, and covered the pot.

"You can turn off the heat after cooking for eight to ten minutes." He said as he began to teach Kurenai and Shizune how to cook other dishes, and casually set an alarm for fifteen minutes.

Because the chicken meat in coconut chicken should never be cooked for more than fifteen minutes, otherwise the meat will become tough and lose its tender texture.

Fifteen minutes is enough time for Qiu Shui to cook two stir-fries.

Kurenai hadn't seen Akisui cook much before.

Looking at his focused profile and efficient movements, I can only feel that he is exceptionally skilled.

Shizune noticed Kurenai's absent-minded look, her eyes darted around, she quietly moved back, then walked to Kurenai's side and put her arm around her waist.

Kurenai felt her waist being suddenly grabbed and was startled.

Since Qiu Shui was right next to her, her first thought was that it was Qiu Shui's hand.

"Why has Akisui suddenly become so bold... Shizune is still right next to us..." Kurenai lowered her head, her cheeks instantly burning, her heart filled with shyness.

"That's about right." Qiu Shui timed it perfectly, sprinkling in a few goji berries a minute before turning off the heat, and emphasized, "Remember, don't add any extra salt; you're here to enjoy the original, sweet flavor."

Startled awake by the sound, Yuhi Hong looked up abruptly and saw Qiu Shui's hands working in the pot.

Whose hand is that on my waist?

She turned her head and was met with Shizune's face, which was wearing a mocking smile.

Kurenai was both ashamed and angry, and couldn't help but slap her hand hard.

"Ouch." Shizune looked at her hand, which was red from being slapped, and couldn't help but blow on it, muttering aggrievedly, "That was so strong."

"What are you two doing?" Qiu Shui turned around, a puzzled look on her face.

"N-nothing." Kurenai's face showed a hint of panic as she quickly looked away and glared at Shizune, her eyes clearly saying: You just wait.

"It's ready to serve." Qiu Shui didn't think much of it and directly lifted the lid.

The moment the lid was lifted, a rich aroma of coconut mixed with the savory taste of chicken wafted out, filling the entire kitchen with this warm fragrance.

"It smells really delicious." Shizune took a deep breath, her face showing anticipation.

"Wow, this smells so good!" Kurenai Yuhi added plenty of emotional support, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons.

Looking at the two of them like this, Qiu Shui couldn't help but feel a little smug.

It's important to know that both Kurenai Yuhi and Shizune are Jonin in the village. When they appear in the village, people who encounter them must stop and respectfully call them "senpai" (senior).

Although Shusui's actual strength has reached the Kage level, he is only an ordinary Jonin on the surface.

If others knew that Kurenai and Shizune not only helped him in the kitchen, but also praised him highly.

I bet everyone's eyes will pop out with envy.

[Talent training completed]

Overall Rating: C

[Received training reward - 40 Chakra]

Qiu Shui felt a warm current flowing through her body, slowly seeping into her limbs and bones.

Although the reward was still chakra, the addition of another person doubled the amount of chakra gained.

Qiu Shui nodded silently to herself, quite satisfied.

Kurenai and Shizune brought the prepared dishes to the table one by one.

Tsunade couldn't wait any longer and picked up her chopsticks, her eyes fixed on the steaming pot of coconut chicken.

"Before eating this coconut chicken, you can drink a bowl of soup while it's hot, and then eat the meat. That will make it taste even better." Qiushui ladled a small bowl of soup for Tsunade, Kurenai, and Shizune and gently placed it in front of them.

"Is there such a saying?" Upon hearing this, Shizune immediately picked up the bowl, carefully blew on it, and took a sip of soup.

The warm, coconut-scented broth slid down my throat, warming me from the inside out.

She then picked up a piece of chicken, put it in her mouth, and after a brief illusion of deliciousness,

Shizune was surprised to find that the chicken she ate this time was more delicious than any chicken she had ever eaten before, and the meat was so tender that it almost melted in her mouth without much chewing.

"This is a dipping sauce." Qiu Shui pointed to a small bowl he had prepared in advance and introduced it with a smile, "If you feel that the food is too bland, you can dip it in this."

The bowl contained his carefully crafted broth, the essence of his soul.

It mainly contains minced garlic, minced sand ginger, chopped chili peppers, and cilantro. Squeeze in the juice of two or three limes, add soy sauce, and finally add a small spoonful of cooked coconut chicken soup and stir well.

The aroma of the sunset's red light, with its tangy and refreshing scent, whets the appetite.

"Wow, it tastes completely different when eaten with the dipping sauce!" Kurenai Yuhi's eyes lit up after taking a bite, her face full of surprise.

Tsunade and Shizune also tried the method that Shusui had suggested.

First drink the soup, then eat the meat, and finally dip it in the sauce.

Both of them wore expressions of satisfaction, and their chopsticks instinctively reached into the pot again.

Then, Qiu Shui casually remarked, "By the way, this dish also has the effect of nourishing the body and moisturizing the skin."

The moment those words were spoken, the air around the entire dining table seemed to freeze for a moment.

For the three women present, the allure of that short sentence was comparable to an S-rank ninjutsu.

Tsunade, Kurenai, and Shizune were all stunned for a moment.

Then, one after another, they moved faster and faster, their chopsticks raining down on the pot of coconut chicken.

In less than five minutes, the chicken and broth in the pot were completely devoured, leaving not even the coconut meat and goji berries at the bottom of the pot.

Qiu Shui had anticipated this situation, so she reserved a bowl for herself in advance.

"Lady Tsunade, please drink less." Shizune quickly stopped Tsunade as she reached for the wine bottle again. "We're taking Shusui to the Kurama clan tomorrow to treat Kurama Yakumo. If you get drunk, you'll sleep until noon."

Having spent so many years with Tsunade, she knew Tsunade's alcohol tolerance all too well.

Although Tsunade drinks every day and is indeed a heavy drinker, after just two cups, her face starts to turn red, and she gradually enters a slightly tipsy state.

The rest of the time was spent in a state of semi-drunkenness and semi-consciousness, and no one could wake me up.

"Just one more drink." Tsunade held up her index finger, her tone carrying a hint of bargaining, but her eyes had already secretly glanced at the bottle.

"Lady Tsunade!" Shizune glared at her, a hint of displeasure on her face, and raised her voice a few decibels.

She was still counting on completing Kurama Yakumo's mission to get that million taels to pay off her debts.

Although she didn't know if Qiu Shui's method would work, she didn't want any accidents to happen at this crucial moment.

"Alright, alright!" Tsunade waved her hand, looking like she was going to listen to her, and pretended to agree.

However, taking advantage of a moment when Jingyin wasn't paying attention, she picked up her wine glass, tilted her head back, and poured the entire glass of wine directly into her mouth.

Because he drank too quickly, a little wine spilled from the corner of his mouth and slid slowly down his fair neck, gleaming slightly under the light.

Upon seeing this, Shizune was completely stunned.

Then, anger surged.

But in his anger, he only got angry for a moment.

She truly had no way to deal with Tsunade.

You can't beat them in a fight, they won't listen to you, and scolding them is pointless.

So Jingyin could only channel her grief and anger into her appetite, stabbing her chopsticks into the bowl and vigorously eating the food.

Kurenai Yuhi watched this scene from the side, feeling both amused and exasperated.

Although she still respected Tsunade and regarded her as her idol after spending time together, she still respected her very much.

However, one must sometimes admit that Tsunade's behavior in private is completely unlike that of a strong person.

Qiu Shui silently lamented to himself that Tsunade, besides being addicted to gambling and drinking, didn't seem to have any other hobbies.

Every few days, Shizune would complain to him about how much money Tsunade had lost at the casino, and that she would only stop when she was completely drunk.

It's fortunate that this is another world, and Tsunade's physique is strong enough.

Otherwise, Qiu Shui felt that with Tsunade's accumulated drinking over the years, her body would probably have been ruined long ago.

The next morning at nine o'clock, Qiu Shui got up and made two steaming hot breakfasts, which she ate with Xi Ri Hong.

Then, led by Kurenai Yuhi, they headed to the meeting point agreed upon with Tsunade.

After the three met, they did not linger and set off directly for Kurama Yakumo's residence.

At ten o'clock, Tsunade and Kurenai led Shusui to their destination.

"Lady Tsunade, Red Jonin." Kurama Murakumo and his wife Kurama Rin had already known that Tsunade was coming today and were waiting at the door in advance. As soon as they saw the group, they immediately went forward to greet them respectfully.

Tsunade nodded slightly.

Kurenai bowed slightly in return.

"Who is this?" Kurama Murakumo's gaze fell on Akisui, sizing up the tall, handsome young man in front of him.

"His name is Kitagawa Shusui," Tsunade explained. "He was the one who proposed the treatment plan for Yakumo."

"Greetings, Chief Anma." Qiu Shui greeted him politely.

"No need for such formalities, Akisui Jonin." Kurama Murakumo quickly waved his hand, his attitude very amiable. "Just call me Murakumo-senpai."

Since Qiu Shui had come to treat his daughter's illness, Anma Congyun did not put on airs as a clan leader. Instead, his tone was calm and even somewhat polite.

"Senior Murakumo." Shusui shook his head slightly. "I am just a Chunin, I don't deserve the title of Jonin. Just call me Shusui."

"Okay...okay." Kurama Murakumo paused for a moment, then nodded.

He was indeed somewhat surprised.

He knew almost all the Jonin in the village, but the face in front of him was completely unfamiliar.

He originally thought that since Tsunade and Kurenai Yuhi were brought along together, and judging from their positions with Shusui as the center, they must be newly promoted Jonin.
