"But sister Tsunade, isn't gambling considered inappropriate for a ninja?" asked Kushina. Tsunade simply scoffed at this and replied, "These rules were established by some old-fashioned ninjas. We are young and should be bold enough. Come, I'll show you my gambling skills."

With that, Tsunade initiated the gambling session, involving Kushina and Sakura. An hour later, outside the casino, Tsunade was shouting, "You're all cheaters! You're playing unfairly!" Observing this, Kushina's face twitched as she tried to calm Tsunade down.

After soothing Tsunade, she sat there with a saddened expression. At that moment, Kushina playfully remarked, "You truly are the granddaughter of the gambling god. You showcased your skills without even winning a single bet. Even an amateur like me won three times." Kushina covered her mouth with her hands to suppress her laughter, while Sakura also stifled her amusement. Hearing Kushina's words, Tsunade became even more despondent.

At that moment, a voice emerged from behind them, asking, "What are you both doing here?" It was none other than Jiraiya. Kushina responded, "We came here with sister Tsunade. She lost all her bets and became sad."

"It's normal. Everyone in the Fire Country knows that Tsunade always loses her bets. That's why people have given her the nickname 'Fat Sheep,'" remarked Jiraiya. Kushina wanted to inform him that Tsunade was right behind her, but before she could speak, Jiraiya continued, "She's just a woman with big breasts and no brains. That's why she doesn't win. If it were me, I would have become a gambling god by now. But I'm not interested in all this. I'm only interested in gathering materials for my work."

Jiraiya kept talking, unaware that Tsunade was sitting right there, with Kushina and Sakura in front of her, shielding her from his view. In that moment, both Kushina and Sakura felt a surge of murderous intent emanating from behind them. They quickly moved away. As soon as they did, Jiraiya saw Tsunade clenching her fist, her anger evident on her face. The words died in Jiraiya's mouth as he started sweating profusely. He stammered, "Ah, Tsunade, you're here. What I just said was just a joke. Don't take it seriously." He began to back away from his original position.

Tsunade stood up and with a thunderous shout that echoed throughout Konoha, she exclaimed, "You bastard!" She threw a powerful punch at Jiraiya, sending him flying three houses away. Both Kushina and Sakura briefly mourned for Jiraiya's fate.

After that incident, Tsunade, Kushina, and Sakura returned to the Senju compound. At the gate of the Senju clan, Hiroshi was standing, engaged in a conversation with Senju Nawaki. They had coincidentally met when Hiroshi was wandering around the village. Curiously, they followed Tsunade and the others on their way back to Mito's room.

Finally reaching the room, Mito and Mitsuo were engrossed in their discussion. As everyone returned, Mito and Mitsuo nodded in acknowledgment. However, when they caught a whiff of alcohol emanating from Tsunade, Kushina, and Sakura, they frowned. Mito asked, "What were you all doing, and where were you three?"

Upon hearing Mito's question, Tsunade, Kushina, and Sakura lowered their heads. At that moment, Kushina shifted the blame onto Tsunade and said, "It was sister Tsunade who dragged us to the casino against our will. We never wanted to go."

Mito gazed at Tsunade with a sense of helplessness and slight exasperation. "When will you ever quit your incessant gambling habit? It seems you haven't even once entertained the thought of giving it up. And yet, you persist in clinging to it," she remarked, her tone tinged with a mixture of concern and frustration.

In response, Tsunade playfully stuck out her tongue, a mischievous twinkle in her eyes. Observing Tsunade's carefree antics, Mito sighed softly and shook her head in a gesture of mild resignation. "You all must be tired go and have rest." she suggested, her voice carrying a touch of motherly concern.

"Okay, dear Grandma Mito and Small Grandpa," Kushina chimed in, her voice filled with a mix of affection and playful teasing, as she swiftly darted away, her footsteps echoing through the corridors.

"You! Wait! You promised you wouldn't call me that!" Mitsuo called out, his gaze fixed on the receding figure of Kushina.

Kushina swiftly pivoted on her heels, shooting a mischievous glance at Mitsuo, before playfully sticking out her tongue in his direction. With an impish grin adorning her face, she sprinted away with increased speed, her laughter trailing behind her.

Mito burst into laughter, her amusement resonating through the room. "HAHAHA, Small Grandpa!" she exclaimed, unable to contain her mirth.

Mitsuo, wearing a warm smile, gently shook his head in response.

"Why does she call you Small Grandpa?" Mito inquired curiously.

Mitsuo's smile widened, and he replied with a hint of fondness in his voice, "Well, you see, she calls our uncle 'Grandpa,' and since I'm younger and physically less imposing than him, she affectionately bestowed upon me the nickname of 'Small Grandpa.'" His words were accompanied by a helpless smile, reflecting the playful dynamics of their familial bond.
