Chapter 305

However, dumplings are only available around the New Year.

For the villagers of Konoha, seeing dumplings means the New Year is almost here.

Inside an izakaya.

Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato, master and student, are drinking a little sake.

Both of their faces have a slight flush, and they are sipping from small sake cups.

A half-eaten plate of dumplings is also set before them.

"I have to say, that guy Senju Xingye is truly a genius in every aspect."

"He was even able to develop such delicious food."

Jiraiya picks up a dumpling, his slightly drunken face full of admiration.

Namikaze Minato nods heavily, then says.

"I didn't expect Master to be able to make it back for the New Year this time. How did the mission go?"

Jiraiya immediately puffs out his chest and raises his head proudly.

"With your master on the job, naturally, one is worth two!"

"The mission was, of course, completed perfectly!"

After saying this, he picks up his sake cup, tilts his head back, and then lets out a satisfied "Ahhh," looking very refreshed.

............ 0

Namikaze Minato immediately refills the empty cup and is about to say something else when a tinkling sound comes from the door, drawing both their gazes.

When they turn their heads to look, their eyes go wide.

"Oh? Jiraiya, and Minato, you two are here too."

Senju Tsunade is holding Senju Xingye's arm with one hand, looking at Jiraiya and Namikaze Minato inside with a surprised expression.

This has always been an izakaya that Senju Tsunade frequents, but she had never encountered Jiraiya here before.

She didn't expect Jiraiya to come here to drink as well.

"Ah, you two came too."

Jiraiya says with a somewhat complicated expression.

Especially seeing Senju Tsunade holding Senju Xingye's arm, he can't help but reveal a look of envy.

If I had been brave enough to confess back then, would everything be different now?

But there is no regret medicine in this world, and this is merely Jiraiya's one-sided fantasy.

Jiraiya has no way of knowing the actual situation.

Namikaze Minato's expression is also very complicated.

Because on Senju Xingye's other side, Uzumaki Kushina is also holding her husband's other arm.

"What a coincidence, Minato-kun."

"Yeah, what a coincidence."

Namikaze Minato feels a bitterness in his mouth; the fine wine he just drank instantly loses its flavor.

Senju Xingye, holding his two wives, greets them while sitting down next to the two men.

"I didn't expect you to like coming here. If you had told me earlier, I would have gotten you a free VIP membership." ===== CHAPTER 309 =====
