Chapter 13 : You will only be beaten by me

...  

  "Sit down for a while, the food will be ready soon."

  After returning home, Watanabe left Tsunade in the living room, and he went into the kitchen to work.

  Tsunade had no intention of helping, because she could not cook, usually her Grandmother cooked.

  There was nothing to do, so she looked around casually. This was her second time visiting Watanabe's house.

  Watanabe's house was an ordinary one-bedroom apartment with simple furniture and even there was no TV, but the house was very tidy and looked comfortable.

  'He likes cleanliness quite a lot.'

  Tsunade thought to herself. She had been to Jiraiya's house once before, and Jiraiya's house was as messy as a doghouse, which was incomparable to Watanabe's house.

  Speaking of which, the reason why she went to Jiraiya's house that time was because she beat Jiraiya violently, and felt bad afterwards, so she sent him medicine at her Grandmother Mito's request.

  "You are not injured after the sparring that day?"

  Tsunade suddenly asked. The medicine she prepared was placed in the classroom.

  "It's okay, I just spit out two mouthfuls of blood at that time, and I will recover after a good sleep." Watanabe answered while cooking.

  "Don't be stubborn, it's not shameful to be injured by me. I learned medical ninjutsu because I was afraid of accidentally killing others."

  "..."

  Watanabe was amused by Tsunade's words and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will definitely tell you if I am really injured."

  Tsunade curled her lips and thought

       ' What do you mean don't worry? It's as if I care about you very much.'

  The two chatted casually, and half an hour later, Watanabe came out of the kitchen with an imposing dish.

  "Try it, it should taste good." Watanabe is quite confident in his cooking skills.

  Tsunade was quite curious, the appearance of the food on the table made her very hungry, and the aroma was fragrant.

  'It seems that Watanabe is really good, no wonder he dares to cook by himself.' Tsunade thought.

  She picked up a piece of beef in to mouth and the indescribable deliciousness instantly bloomed between her lips and teeth, and she couldn't help squinting her eyes:

  "Delicious!"

  Seeing that his cooking skills were recognized by Tsunade, Watanabe was completely relieved.

  He paid a lot of money for this meal, and if he can't satisfy Tsunade, then he will lose a lot.

  "Try this too, eat more."

  Watanabe smiled and picked up some food for her. 

  Tsunade accepted everything, and after trying the braised prawns, she tried the sweet and sour carp, and the more she ate, the more she liked it. She didn't expect Watanabe to cook such a good meal. To be frank, it was more delicious than her grandmother's food and the restaurants food outside.

  "How do you make these dishes? I've never seen them before."

  Tsunade asked with a bulging mouth. She didn't eat like a lady, but she was very cute.

  Of course, Watanabe would not tell Tsunade the truth. He cooked recipes from Earth.

  The ninja world had just been at peace for a short time, and people in many areas could not even get enough food. Most people only had one need for food, that is, to fill their stomachs. 

  "I just figured it out myself. I hope it suits your taste."

  Watanabe wanted to have a good relationship with Tsunade, so he acted like a warm man at this moment, with a sunny and warm smile.

  Tsunade heard this and exclaimed in her heart, 'Wow, even though Watanabe's Fighting ability is not that good, he is an absolute genius in cooking. If he opens a restaurant in the future, he will definitely have a prosperous business.'

  Then Tsunade turned into a master of eating, sweeping away every dish on the table like a whirlwind, without being polite to Watanabe at all.

  Watanabe ate less than her, after all, eating was a kind of weakening for him.

  [Eating: Hunger +13, Weakness +5, Physical Strength -6...]

  There was no way, he had to eat even if he was weakened, otherwise he would die of fullness.

  Before, he only have to ate instant noodles every day, and his mouth was almost dry. It was not bad to improve the food occasionally.

  Soon, all the food on the table was swept away. Tsunade put down her chopsticks and sighed with satisfaction: "I'm so full, I almost ate too much!"

  Watanabe nodded silently. He was different from Tsunade. He starved himself.

  "I'll go wash the dishes."

  Watanabe picked up the dishes and went to the kitchen.

  Tsunade was a little embarrassed and volunteered: "I'll help you wash them."

  "No need, it's my treat today, how can I trouble you." Watanabe replied.

  This sentence made Tsunade feel at ease to be lazy.

  She leaned against the kitchen door frame, looking at Watanabe who was washing dishes seriously in front of the sink, and suddenly found that he had many advantages.

  Not only did he keep the house in order, he was also a good cook, gentle and handsome. Whoever marries him in the future should be very happy.

  "Watanabe, why don't you stop being a ninja and be a chef in the future. I will definitely come to eat every day"

  After having lunch together, the relationship between the two people became much closer, and Tsunade joked with him at this time.

  "No, being a chef is not what I wanted to do." Watanabe shook his head.

  Tsunade was curious: "Hey, do you have a dream too?"

  Watanabe: "..."

  'I'm not a lazy person.' Watanabe thought.

  Tsunade realised that she said something wrong and said again: "I mean, do you also want to be a Hokage?"

  The dream of boys of this age is to become a Hokage. Her younger brother Nawaki, as well as Jiraiya and Kato Dan in the class are all like this. It's almost a common thing for them.

  Watanabe answered casually: "No, my dream is world peace."

  "???"

  Tsunade was stunned, and her expression gradually changed from astonishment to thoughtfulness.

  'World peace... Isn't this the goal that her grandfather fought for all his life?'

          Thinking of Watanabe's orphan background, Tsunade felt that she understood something.

  Watanabe must be like his grandfather, hoping that war will disappear forever, that everyone in the ninja world will live and work in peace and happiness, and that there will never be orphans like him again due to war.

  This dream is so much greater than the dream of others to become a Hokage.

  At this moment, Tsunade suddenly felt that there was light shining on Watanabe, but because he was an ordinary person, even if he had great ideals, the light on him was bright but not dazzling, but he is still someone needed to be looked up to.

  'Well, why is there no sound?' Watanabe thought.

  Watanabe turned back in surprise and saw Tsunade's face in a trance, wondering what she was thinking about.

  'Is my joke not funny?'

  Watanabe scratched the back of his head, thinking that it was not easy to please Tsunade.

  He was afraid of making things worse, so he didn't dare to continue telling jokes and washed the dishes quietly.

  Tsunade continued to be in a trance.

  The more she imagined, the brighter the light on Watanabe's body became.

  ...

  When Watanabe finished washing the dishes, it was already one o'clock. There was only half an hour left before class, and the two went out together.

  On the way to the ninja school, Watanabe wanted to say something several times but stopped.

  Finally, he made up his mind and boldly asked: "Tsunade, can I trouble you for a favour?"

  Tsunade was still thinking about Watanabe's "great dream" in her mind, thinking about what kind of person he was, and subconsciously asked back: "What is it?"

  'Can you beat me up?' Watanabe thought in his mind but crossed it out quickly and said.

        "Can you spar with me?"

  Tsunade was slightly stunned.

  'Spar with me?'

  'You are not my opponent at all, you are only a punching bag to me.'
