Konoha God of Cookery

.

Zhang Yue walked out of the Hokage Building, feeling extremely angry.

This old boy dares to tease me about investment. Damn it. If it weren't for the mission, I would have slapped him in the face. Now, it’s just a question of who else can invest.

It was impossible for the Third Generation to make any demands, but the Sarutobi clan couldn't afford much money.

Danzo is even worse. The conditions he prescribed may be worse than Mito Gate inflammation. It is better to agree to Mito Menyan than to find him.

Uzumaki Mito is a good choice. But, I don't know why. Thinking of Uzumaki Mito's extra care for him, Zhang Yue didn't really want to ask Uzumaki Mito for money.

Qiudao Qifeng would not impose arbitrary conditions. Judging from how fat and oily they all were, they were not people who were short of money. However, if I approached them to open a restaurant, I was afraid that the opening and bankruptcy would happen on the same day, so I refused decisively.

So who is left? People from other families, whom I don’t know well or have any friendship with, are so red-faced and white-toothed that even a fool might not be fooled by someone else paying for them.

Here, Zhang Yue was still having trouble. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of a suitable candidate.

"Ayue, what are you doing here?" A voice came from behind.

Zhang Yue turned around and saw Jiraiya walking towards him. "It's Jiraiya-nii."

"What's wrong with you? You don't look good. I just saw you frowning. If you are in trouble, tell me. I will help you." Jiraiya patted Zhang Yue on the shoulder and said.

"Brother Jiraiya, you can't help me with this matter." Zhang Yue shook her head.

"You don't say anything, how do you know I can't help you. Well, there is a meatball shop nearby. Let's go there to eat and talk."

With that said, Jiraiya pulled Zhang Yue towards the meatball shop. The two walked into the store. Jiraiya ordered a pot of tea and two meatballs, and sat down with Zhang Yue.

"Okay, let's talk. What trouble did you encounter?" Jiraiya asked.

Zhang Yue took a sip of tea, calmed down and said to Jiraiya, "Brother Jiraiya, you should have heard from Sister Tsunade about my life experience."

Jiraiya nodded, "Tsunade told me something. Why is this matter related to the Senju clan and you were bullied?"

"No, everyone in the Senju family is very nice to me. Besides, with Sister Tsunade protecting me, who in the Senju family would dare to bully me."

"The thing is like this, I originally lived in the Country of Whirlpool, and I just came to Konoha in the past few days. You know this, right?"

Jiraiya nodded without saying anything.

"Grandma Mito has been very good to me since I came to Konoha. Not only did she acknowledge my identity as Grandpa Tobirama's grandson, she also took care of my food and housing, arranged for me to go to school, and taught me sealing techniques." Zhang Yue said.

"Isn't that great? You're not satisfied with how good I am to you?" Jiraiya was a little confused.

"Oh, just listen to me."

"I want to open a restaurant selling spicy hotpot in Konoha, and I want to find someone to invest in my restaurant."

"Originally, as a member of the Senju clan, I just asked the family to invest. But, I don't know why, I can't do it anyway. The family takes care of my food and accommodation, and also arranges for me to go to school. Now, I want to invest The restaurant also asked the family for money, which I feel is a bit unethical."

Jiraiya frowned after hearing Zhang Yue's words. Although he may not be serious at ordinary times, his mind is very delicate and he is a person who is rough on the outside but delicate on the inside. He had already figured out why Zhang Yue refused to speak to the Thousand Hands Clan, and he was ready to open Zhang Yue's mind.

"So, this is what you are worried about" Jiraiya asked.

"Not all." Zhang Yue replied.

"What else is there?"

"I didn't want to ask the Senju clan for investment, so I was going to find other people to invest. I went to Uncle Men Yan. He is in charge of Konoha's finances. The Mito clan is rich, so looking for him is a good choice." Zhang Yue said.

"Why, he doesn't agree?" Jiraiya asked.

"No, he agreed. But on one condition."

"What conditions?" Jiraiya asked, taking a sip of tea.

"He asked me to work for him in his financial department after graduation," Zhang Yue replied.

"Isn't that great?"

"What's good? I want to do tasks everywhere after graduation. I don't want to go to the financial department to be an administrative ninja working nine to five." Zhang Yue took a deep breath and said.

"Then is he threatening you? If you don't agree to his conditions, he won't invest in you?" Jiraiya asked.

"He didn't say it clearly, but he asked me to come back and think about it. If I reject his conditions, my investment will probably be lost," Zhang Yue replied.

"Your problem is easy to solve." Jiraiya said.

"Oh, how to solve it?" Zhang Yue asked excitedly.

"First of all, when it comes to Advisor Men Yan, you reject him first. You don't want to go to the financial department anyway." Jiraiya said.

“Then what should I do with my investment?”

"This is an easy solution. It's readily available. Find it from the Senju clan," Jiraiya said.

"Ah, but I can't get over the hurdle in my heart."

"Don't worry, once you pass this hurdle, I'll help you." Jiraiya said with a smile.

"How can you help me?"

Jiraiya laughed, "You are a fan of the authorities. Let me tell you why you feel uncomfortable."

As he spoke, Jiraiya changed his expression to a serious one and said, "The reason why you feel it is inappropriate to ask the Senju clan for money is because you have not yet fully integrated into the Senju clan."

"I don't quite understand" Zhang Yue asked.

"If you understood, you wouldn't be like this now." Jiraiya took a sip of tea and continued.

"On the day you made a bet with me, even though you kept talking about your Senju clan, you still didn't have a sense of belonging to the Senju clan in your heart. You always felt that you were an outsider."

"In other words, because you were not born in the Senju Clan or grew up in the Senju Clan, you still feel a little inferior at this point. You feel that making too many demands on the family is a troublesome behavior, especially when When Mito-sama treats you so well, you are even less willing to cause trouble to the family, am I right?"

I have to say that Jiraiya's guess was accurate. Zhang Yue knew very well that he was not from the Thousand Hands clan, and everything was a scam by him.

And during the past few days in Konoha, Uzumaki Mito was really good to Zhang Yue. This also made Zhang Yue full of guilt, so when he thought of a way to attract investment, he instinctively didn't want to trouble Uzumaki Mito, so he went to Mito Kadoyan.

"Brother Jiraiya, you may be right. I do have this idea. So what should I do now?" Zhang Yue asked.
