Renye-kun, I want tempura!
Uchiha Kagami smiled faintly.
"I want grilled fish, please, Renye-kun." Utatane Koharu clasped her hands together, pleading.
Homura Mitokado chimed in, "Another bowl of miso soup, not too salty."
Listening to their requests, Renye's mouth twitched, and he said somewhat helplessly, "You're ordering dishes now? Do you really think this is an izakaya?!"
He knew this would happen once the secret was out…
It was already troublesome enough to cook for one person; now he had to cook for five more.
He's really become a chef…
Forget it, cooking for one is cooking, and cooking for six is also cooking.
He quickly came to terms with it.
"What would everyone like to eat?" Renye tied his apron back on and took out paper and a pen to start taking orders.
"Tempura!"
"Grilled fish."
"Eel rice."
...
Renye wrote down each dish they requested and then headed to Senju Tobirama's tent.
At this moment, Senju Tobirama sat in the main seat, slowly sipping tea, a slight smile playing on his lips as he watched Renye rekindle the fire and start cooking again.
He already knew what had happened.
This kid was being threatened by Hiruzen and the others, forced to cook for them.
...
Renye cooked while grumbling, "Damn it, those guys really got something on me!"
Senju Tobirama smiled without speaking, quietly sipping his hot tea, his gaze always fixed on Renye's busy figure.
"Kid, make a portion for me too."
Hearing this, Renye felt his vision blur and looked at Senju Tobirama irritably, "Uncle, didn't you just eat?"
Senju Tobirama coughed lightly and explained, "I got hungry again after finishing the documents."
He would never admit that the aroma of the food made him want another serving.
"Got it." Renye's spatula was practically smoking.
Compared to cooking, he still preferred being on the battlefield.
...
"Hello, Tobirama-sensei!" Hiruzen Sarutobi and the others, drawn by the aroma, entered the tent.
"Come sit, the food will be ready soon," Senju Tobirama said.
"Okay, Sensei!" The group excitedly sat down.
They were initially worried their sensei would scold them, but they didn't expect him not to care at all.
Doesn't this mean they can have Renye cook for them every day from now on?!
The thought of being able to eat delicious food daily brought bright smiles to their faces.
Smelling the aroma of the food, everyone swallowed their saliva.
"Wow, it smells so good!"
They hadn't tasted Renye's cooking in a long time.
Danzo and Hiruzen couldn't help but recall Renye's braised lion's head…
Tsk tsk, that taste was absolutely divine!
The two of them had even fought over a single lion's head back then.
Time truly flies; so many years had passed in the blink of an eye.
As everyone waited anxiously, Renye, with a dark expression, brought the cooked dishes to the table.
Inside the tent, Hiruzen Sarutobi, Danzo Shimura, Utatane Koharu, Homura Mitokado, and Uchiha Kagami sat upright, their eyes fixed on the food before them—
The miso soup was fragrant, with seaweed and tofu gently floating in the amber broth.
The grilled fish was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, its aroma wafting directly into their noses.
The eel rice was even more enticing, with the sauce seeping into the pristine white rice, making one's mouth water.
Senju Tobirama looked at the delicious food on the table and instinctively swallowed his saliva.
Although he had just eaten once, another serving wouldn't hurt…
"Let's eat!"
As he finished speaking, everyone said in unison, "I'm going to eat!"
"Mmm! This grilled fish… crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, it's truly delicious!" Hiruzen Sarutobi was so moved he was nearly in tears.
What had he been eating all this time…
"The miso soup is perfectly seasoned!" Homura Mitokado squinted his eyes in enjoyment.
"Renye-kun's cooking is a hundred times better than the mess hall's!" Utatane Koharu added indistinctly.
"Delicious, truly delicious!" Uchiha Kagami's eyes sparkled, "I haven't eaten such delicious food in so long!"
Danzo Shimura didn't speak, but his chopsticks moved faster than anyone else's, finishing half a bowl of eel rice in the blink of an eye.
Senju Tobirama elegantly picked up a piece of fish, slowly savoring it, but the slight upward curve of his lips still betrayed his satisfaction.
Perhaps it was because he hadn't had good food in a long time, but he felt as if the kid's cooking had gotten even better.
Renye stood to the side, watching these guys devour their food.
How to describe it? It was like feeding pigs…
"Renye-kun, your cooking is truly excellent!" Utatane Koharu praised.
Renye." Hiruzen Sarutobi suddenly looked up and pleaded, "From now on, can we come to you for all three meals? Please!"
Now, Kumogakure's surrender was only a matter of time; the Cloud Ninja wouldn't launch an attack.
The Konoha Ninja were idle every day, and Renye, having nothing to do, could just cook to pass the time.
Senju Tobirama looked at Renye curiously, wondering if the kid would agree.
"No problem." Renye didn't refuse; he was idle anyway.
.........
But Renye soon regretted it; ever since he agreed to cook three meals a day for them, his days on the battlefield had completely changed.
In the early morning, before dawn, he had to get up to make breakfast.
At noon, as soon as he returned from patrol on the battlefield, he was urged to make lunch.
In the evening, Senju Tobirama would appear punctually in the tent, watching him with those red eyes until he put on his apron and started cooking.
It felt like a hobby had turned into a career, being urged to "go to work" every day…
Other Ninja in the camp swallowed their saliva frantically, smelling the aroma wafting from Renye's cooking.
"It smells so good…"
"I heard Renye Jonin's grilled fish is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside…"
"Last time I passed by Hokage-sama's tent, the aroma inside almost made me unable to walk."
Although they all wanted to taste Renye's cooking, no one dared to ask.
After all, this was 'Konoha's ‘Poison Master of Death’'!
What if they accidentally angered him and he poisoned the food?
They didn't dare to approach, only swallowing their saliva from a distance.
"If only the mess hall had this skill."

PS: My computer is broken, so I'm writing on my phone. I'll make up for it when my computer is fixed. For the next few days, it will be two updates, so please bear with me, everyone.
I can't play Delta Force anymore, boo hoo hoo…
