The meals at Mito's household were not particularly delicious, but they were notable for their large portions. Even when there were only six people dining, they prepared food for over twenty people.

Whether it was Tsunade, Nawaki, Kushina, or the elderly Mito, their appetites were extraordinary.

Especially Nawaki, it seemed like he wanted to make up for the hunger he experienced on the battlefield, eating ferociously.

Tatsuma also had a substantial appetite. Although his body had recovered, his brain was so active that he consumed much more calories than usual every day, making normal portions of food inadequate to replenish his energy.

The only one with a relatively normal appetite was Minato. However, being a half-grown boy, Minato's appetite was still considerable, though compared to the others, it seemed closer to that of an average person.

Watching as the younger generation finished their food completely, the smile on Mito's face couldn't fade away for a long time. There was nothing that could make her happier than this scene.

The only regret was that there were still too few people.

"Do you have any plans for the next few days?" Mito asked, watching Tatsuma and Minato take the initiative to clean up. Minato looked at Tatsuma, knowing that Tatsuma would be the one to answer this kind of question.

Tatsuma shook his head and replied, "We'll wait for the village's orders. But it will probably take at least two more days. Tomorrow, Sensei and the Jonins will have a meeting, and many arrangements will be decided there."

"Are we still preparing for battle?" Mito inquired. Tatsuma nodded. Currently, all of Konoha's focus was on the war. Many missions had been directly suspended, and without going to the battlefield, there were no other tasks to do.

Tsunade, seeing her grandmother's gradually fading smile, said, "It might not happen so soon. The Wind and Fire countries will definitely need to renegotiate. The Land of Earth and the Land of Lightning are still investigating; the results may not come so quickly."

Upon hearing this, Mito's expression relaxed once again, and she said, "It's better to take some more rest."

Several nodded in agreement. Except for Kushina, who hadn't gone to the battlefield, she was the one among them who wanted to go to the battlefield the most.

After dinner, Tatsuma invited Minato to stay at Tobirama's former residence, but Minato declined, which made Tatsuma somewhat uneasy.

After all, the former residence of a prestigious Forbidden Jutsu Master might have some formidable prohibitions. If something serious happened to him there, it would truly be an unforeseen disaster.

In addition, Mito had ordered someone to repair the house, but as someone who came from the Warring States period, she didn't prioritize electrical circuits. Although the house was cleaned and repaired well, there was no electricity.

Tatsuma borrowed a few candles and cautiously made his way to the bedroom. Since it had just been repaired, many old pieces of furniture had been removed, and new furniture hadn't been brought in yet, so the room was exceptionally spacious.

The room was so spacious that Tatsuma's footsteps echoed. He complained inwardly about why even the moon tonight didn't show its face, being so miserly with its light. Finally, Tatsuma found a place to set the candles.

After quickly lighting them and placing them in different spots to illuminate the entire room, Tatsuma finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But he didn't feel the slightest bit of sleepiness in his heart. So Tatsuma began to survey the bedroom. It was large and lacked modern-style beds; instead, neatly folded futons were arranged on the room's floor.
