Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

I was teased by Shizune, who had just returned.

Baiyun Qingye couldn't help but roll her eyes and went back to the kitchen.

Seeing this, Jingyin's smile widened, and she put on an apron and went into the kitchen to help.

Tsunade didn't return from outside until everything was ready.

Unlike Shizune's exhausted expression, Tsunade looked sullen, her face practically screaming "Don't mess with me."

Strangely, Tsunade didn't smell of alcohol this time.

"I am back."

Tsunade greeted them listlessly.

Without even changing his shoes, he took them off and walked in barefoot.

"Welcome back, Lady Tsunade. It's not good for your health to go barefoot."

After seeing this, Jingyin gave a reminder.

"I know!"

Tsunade replied weakly, then collapsed onto the sofa, her voluptuous body sinking deep into it.

The bulging, somewhat vulgar fruits on her chest were squeezed like dough.

Even the originally loose clothes were deformed by the compression, stretching out to both sides and revealing a large expanse of snow-white luster.

Her skin was white and tender, and full of elasticity.

Baiyun Qingye felt a blur before her eyes, and all she could see was a snow-white abyss and the tiny pendant struggling to survive in the crevice.

He was worried that the pendant might break under the weight, and that Tsunade would feel uncomfortable.

Soon, just as Shirakumo Aoba had expected, Tsunade felt a wave of discomfort.

His brows furrowed slightly, and he felt a tightness in his chest.

This forced her to twist her body and change her position.

It turns out that sometimes being too big isn't good either, as it can make many positions very uncomfortable.

Tsunade lay directly on her side on the sofa, her long, slender, and fleshy legs unconsciously curling up and overlapping.

Like Shizune, she was barefoot, and her white and pink soles, which had just stepped on the ground, were revealed to Baiyun Qingye.

Following the smooth, white instep upwards, there is a slender ankle.

It's just a pity that with those standard dark blue capri pants, that's all you can see.

Further up are full hips, a slender waist, a perfectly curved top, and a patch of snow-white skin exposed.

To Shirokumo Aoba's astonishment, the dough that Tsunade had flattened had returned to its original round shape.

As the saying goes, when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.

Tsunade also noticed Shirakumo Aoba's gaze, and couldn't help but let out a mischievous smile.

"Hey! Kid, what are you looking at?"

Just as Shirokumo Aoba was surprised, Tsunade suddenly spoke.

Bai Yunqingye immediately woke up. That abyss was truly terrifying; even he couldn't resist its gravitational pull.

When he looked up, he immediately met Tsunade's unfriendly gaze.

Even though he was just a child, Tsunade wouldn't have any ulterior motives.

But he knew that Tsunade was in a bad mood, and if he didn't answer properly, he would probably get a beating.

"The teacher seems to always wear that necklace. Does it have any special meaning?"

Shirokumo Aoba extended her right index finger, pointing to the necklace that Tsunade was holding.

The innocence on her face seemed genuine.

Tsunade was surprised that Shirakumo Aoba was curious about this, and a slightly dazed expression appeared on her face.

She slowly sat up, freeing the necklace from the abyss, and couldn't help but ask, "Do you want it?"

"Does the teacher wish to give it to his student?"

Baiyun Qingye asked in return.

Looking at the smiling Shirayuki Aoba, Tsunade felt the scene before her eyes becoming somewhat blurry.

She seemed to see the happy look on Nawaki's face when he received the necklace.

In the blink of an eye, it turned into a completely disfigured corpse of Rope Tree.

Her body trembled slightly, but she quickly regained her composure and put the necklace back in.

"Hmph, I don't want to give it to you."

Tsunade pouted somewhat childishly.

Pretty tsundere.

Bai Yunqingye appropriately showed a disappointed expression on her face, looking somewhat dejected.

"I really want it."

Tsunade's eyes flickered, and she spoke up to explain.

“This is a memento left to me by my grandfather. I will give it to you when you surpass me.”

"Really? Then I'll definitely work even harder!"

Shirokumo Aoba made a solemn promise to Tsunade.

"..."

Seeing the other person's excited expression, Tsunade pursed her lips and fell silent, unsure how to respond.

"Alright, the food is all ready. Lady Tsunade, please put on your shoes and eat."

Shizune then took the slippers and placed them next to Tsunade.

"I'm starving!"

Tsunade put on her shoes and walked towards the dining table; she didn't want to continue the conversation.

"Go wash your hands first!"

Mute reminded me again.

Tsunade obediently went into the kitchen to wash her hands before coming to the dining table.

Baiyun Qingye and Jingyin had already set out all the food, dishes, and utensils.

Tsunade sat down in front of her meal, facing Shirokumo Aoba.

She couldn't wait any longer and picked up a piece of tempura and put it in her mouth.

He started talking again before he had even swallowed his food.

"By the way! Shizune, do you have any money left?"

Shizune, who had just picked up a piece of fried shrimp, paused for a moment, and then her face turned ugly.

"Lady Tsunade, you've gambled away all your money?"

Baiyun Qingye understood. No wonder Tsunade didn't smell of alcohol today; it turned out she had gambled away most of her money and had no more to drink.

Tsunade shrank back, as if trying to encourage herself, and said, "I'll win it all back tomorrow!"

Silently took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.

"We're out of money!"

"Huh? I remember I charged quite a bit of money last time I treated someone."

Tsunade asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Lady Tsunade, you may have forgotten that it's been several months since you last treated someone. And, do you want to calculate how much money you've lost during this time?"

"Uh……"

Tsunade then realized that she seemed to have been back in the village for quite some time.

Her mood became even more depressed.

She originally wanted to ask about Jingyin's salary, but seeing that the other person was still holding back her anger, she simply gave up.

Then, she caught a glimpse of Shirakumo Aoba, who was quietly eating.

Then she turned her head and stared at him without blinking.

Tsunade's sudden action startled Shirokumo Aoba.

This means that before he even got Tsunade to spend any gold coins, the other party was already trying to get him, their disciple, to spend any gold coins.

"Teacher, is there something you need?"

Baiyun Qingye swallowed the food in her mouth with some difficulty.

Tsunade merely narrowed her eyes but did not answer, seemingly lost in thought.

"Fine, you can eat yours."

Finally, Tsunade sighed softly and continued eating.

Judging from the way she ate, she clearly wasn't very interested.

She had indeed considered asking Baiyun Qingye for money, as she knew that Baiyun Qingye received money from Naruto and Tenten every day.

But then she roughly calculated that the money this kid had been earning every day for the past few months didn't even amount to enough for her to roll the dice once.

So she gave up.

Baiyun Qingye also breathed a sigh of relief.
