Chapter 602: He's Called Tuan Tuan

Late at night, Konoha ninja bivouacked.

"Lian Ye, is it really okay for us to infiltrate?"

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang sat by the fire, anxiously looking at the good brother grilling fish across from him.

He originally only wanted to be a bystander, but infiltrating the Ninja Alliance would mean taking part in the war.

We can't end up fighting and have the two of them flee at the last minute, can we?

If that's the case, we shouldn't have infiltrated with a good brother.

"It's fine; if real danger comes, we can run later." Lian Ye handed the grilled fish to Tuan Zang, "Eat it while it's hot; if it's not enough, I'll grill more."

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang, hearing that, took the grilled fish and began eating.

Fine, we're already here.

Who let me be coaxed in by Lian Ye back then?

Even if real danger arose, Lian Ye's strength would surely protect us.

Besides, his strength isn't exactly weak; as long as we don't face someone like Madara Uchiha, self‑preservation shouldn't be a problem.

"What's that smell, why is it so fragrant?"

Several ninja in the camp hadn't slept yet, and they all detected a peculiar aroma.

Simultaneously, they looked at the grilled fish in Lian Ye's and Tuan Zang's hands and swallowed instinctively.

What's going on? It's just a grilled fish, right?

Why does it smell so delicious?!

"How can you not share good stuff?"

Gangshou followed the direction of the scent and found Lian Ye grilling fish.

"Lord Hokage."

The Konoha ninja who had been watching earlier respectfully said upon seeing Gangshou arrive.

Gangshou merely nodded, her gaze fixed on the grilled fish.

Lian Ye: "..."

That big glutton, she came over as soon as she smelled the scent.

"Grill one for me."

Gangshou sat opposite Lian Ye, carefree and overly familiar, saying.

They were about to sleep, but the scent completely wiped out their drowsiness.

If she doesn't get a tasty grilled fish, she'll probably stay up all night.

"Fine." Lian Ye naturally didn't refuse and began grilling fish for Gangshou.

"You two look a bit unfamiliar."

Having nothing to do, Gangshou started sizing them up, only to realize she seemed never to have seen them before.

"With so many people in the village, it's normal that the Hokage has no memory of us," Zhi Cun Tuan Zang said calmly.

"Haha, that's true."

Gangshou didn't dwell on it; her eyes were glued to the grilled fish in Lian Ye's hand, and if she didn't mind propriety, drool would have been spilling out.

This guy's skill makes it a shame not to become a chef.

Wait, chef?

Yeah, she could take Lian Ye with her to the command post and have him work as a chef there!

All the Jonin in the village, including Gangshou, know this, yet she has no impression of Lian Ye.

That alone shows his strength is average, so assigning him to the Catering Squad is perfect.

Compared to the dangerous battlefield, the Logistics Department is clearly safer.

I'm sure the other side won't refuse!

Soon the grilled fish was ready, and Gangshou, while eating the delicious fish, inquired about their names.

"Lord Hokage, I'm Lian Ye, and he's called... Tuan Tuan."

Facing Gangshou's question, Lian Ye had already prepared a response.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang: "???"

"What the heck?"

"You say I'm already in my thirties, yet my name is Tuan Tuan?!"

"You, you did it on purpose!"

If Gangshou weren't here, he'd definitely give his good brother a good show!

Gangshou, hearing that, gave Tuan Zang a strange look.

Never imagined a man would have a name like that...

Fortunately, she didn't get hung up on the issue and stated her purpose directly.

"Lian Ye, Tuan Tuan, are you willing to go to the Logistics Department?"

Lian Ye: "???"

Logistics Department?

I, a top‑tier strongman, can punch Madara Uchiha 【elderly】, kick Senju Hashirama 【cripple】, slap Qianshou Feijian 【young】 several times, and have slain countless Shadow-level Strongmen—a invincible being.

And you want me to go to the Logistics Department?!

If you put a nice name on it, it's the Logistics Department; if you call it harshly, it's the Catering Squad.

More bluntly, it's to be a chef cooking for the Ninja Alliance!

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Just as Lian Ye was about to refuse, Zhi Cun Tuan Zang agreed without hesitation.

"Lord Hokage, we are willing!"

In the Logistics Department there is no need to fight, which perfectly matches their original purpose for coming to this time-space.

Primarily it is to avenge the grudge of naming Lian Ye.

"Very well, from today you are members of the Logistics Department!" Gangshou said seriously.

Lian Ye: "???"

"No, I didn't say anything; how did you all decide already?"

"Alright, go report to the Logistics Office tomorrow."

Gangshou finished eating, patted her bottom and got up to leave.

Only Lian Ye was left sitting alone in disarray before the campfire.

Zhi Cun Tuan Zang looked at his good brother's incredulous expression, his mouth corners almost stretching to his ears.

"Hmph, boring."

Madara Uchiha sat on a distant treetop, witnessing everything that had just happened.

Only his gaze occasionally fell on the grilled fish in Lian Ye's hand.

Impure Earth Reincarnation cannot eat, nor does it have pain or taste.

It can only watch them enjoy the delicacy with its eyes wide open.

When I eventually succeed in reviving myself, I must make that kid cook a feast!

The next day, Lian Ye and Tuan Cang actually entered the Logistics Department.

Fortunately, they usually have nothing to do...

All they need to do is, at meal time, prepare a dish and deliver it to Gangshou.

Gangshou looked at the delicacy in the Food Box and broke into a happy smile.

She didn't expect to be able to eat such delicious food in this lifetime.

When the war ends, I must hire Lian Ye at a high salary to cook for me!

Only she didn't know that someone had already done that.

Moreover, the money offered by the other party could be described as astronomical, enough to say it could rival an entire village's wealth.

Since Lian Ye received funding from the Mysterious Boss, he has never worried about money again.

To him, money is just a string of cold numbers.

With money generating more money, the entire Konoha Village is his enterprise.

Spending in the village can be said to be money moving from the left pocket to the right pocket.

The Ninja Alliance's ground and location were set at Thunder Country's Cloud Hidden Village.

After several days of long marching, the Konoha forces successfully arrived at Cloud Hidden Village.

The Ninja Alliance was composed of ninja from the Five Great Nations and warriors from Iron Country; after gathering at Cloud Hidden Village, they completed the organization of nine units, then set out from there to the various battlefields.

Its main purpose was to protect the Eight-Tails jinchuriki Kirabi and the Nine-Tails jinchuriki Naruto Uzumaki.

After all, the "Moon's Eye" plan cannot be realized without Tailed Beasts!

Yet Lian Ye and Tuan Cang, as members of the Logistics Department, did not go to the battlefield, but stayed by Gangshou's side to cook.

Madara Uchiha stood at a height, looking at the so‑called Ninja Alliance, and snorted disdainfully.

"A bunch of rabble, nothing more."

Without Hashirama and Lian Ye, an alliance of this magnitude could never stop one's own self in this time-space.

It seems the long‑awaited "Moon's Eye" plan is about to be fully realized imminently.

As long as Lian Ye sees the scene of the plan's fulfillment, I believe that kid will no longer obstruct me in the future.
