Chapter 50 Who Knows The Joy Of Being Forced Into A Meal By A Little Rich Woman?
Shigeru laughed and said, "Of course not. Your friend is my friend. How could I be angry with your friend? By the way, why are you worried that I will be upset with this Meihui?"
Shigeru was surprised because he didn't know the child named Meihui—she was still just a little girl.
"You'll find out tomorrow." Kushina was still being secretive.
Shigeru smiled, rubbed her red hair, and gave her a few pieces of meat.
"Eat up. It's time to grow taller, and more meat will help."
After eating and drinking, Shigeru paid the bill, and the four of them left together.
"This…."
When he walked to the door of his house, Shigeru was stunned.
Where is my home?
The location was right.
Could it be that I went to the wrong place?
"Heehee."
Kushina, who was lying on Shigeru's back, tilted her head and smiled. "Shigeru, I did a pretty good job, right? After you went to the border camp, I asked someone to demolish the house and rebuild it with a three-story building. There are many rooms, and I'll stay here from now on."
Why didn't you tell me about this?
Shigeru turned around and looked at Tsunade in confusion. Tsunade pushed open the gate in annoyance, walked into the courtyard, and said sourly:
"The little girl didn't let me tell you. She wanted it to be a surprise. I've been taking care of her, but in the end, she wouldn't even lend me two hundred thousand taels, yet she turned around and built a house for you!"
"I, Tsunade-san, feel like an outsider."
Naoki was about to say something but hesitated. He wanted to speak but didn't dare, so he held it in.
But Kushina was different. Even if she said something hurtful, Tsunade wouldn't beat her.
"Of course you can't borrow it."
Kushina wrinkled her little nose, raised her face, and said seriously, "Grandma Mito said I shouldn't lend you money or give it to you. Otherwise, she won't come back."
Tsunade: "..."
A heartless girl.
"Hahaha." Shigeru laughed.
Tsunade was so angry she wanted to kick him twice—yet he still laughed!
There's a saying about hugging a rich little girl's thigh, and it's clearly very true.
But am I, Hyuga Shigeru, such a soft person?
It seems like the little rich girl forced it on me.
He walked through the gate and took a quick look at the house's interior. No doubt about it—it was absolutely top-notch!
This house cost a fortune. No wonder Tsunade was jealous—who wouldn't be?
He glanced at the environment and layout.
Shigeru asked, "Have you been living here recently?"
Tsunade collapsed on the sofa, looking defeated. She waved her hand and said, "Kushina doesn't want to go back. Naoki also said he always thinks of Grandma at home. Sigh, the ancestral house hasn't been renovated in a long time. Once the house here was finished, we figured we'd just move in and live together."
After Uzumaki Mito left, the Senju ancestral home became less lively. Even Tsunade didn't want to go back to live there, let alone Kushina and Naoki.
Better to avoid the memories and heartache.
It's enough to have two little ones who cry and feel uncomfortable all the time. Tsunade had to be strong, but even so, sadness would still creep in when it should.
So Tsunade had moved in with the two little ones.
"It's great. Thank you, Kushina. I love it," Shigeru said as he pinched her cheek. "If you're sleepy, go take a nap first. I'll prepare something delicious for you later."
After they left the barbecue restaurant, Kushina had been yawning on Shigeru's back, clearly exhausted.
Naoki rolled his eyes and wanted to go out and play, but before he could reach the door, he saw his sister standing there, arms crossed, staring at him expressionlessly.
So, he walked upstairs with a dejected face.
Why does he have to nap just because Kushina is sleepy?
That's not fair!
But against the strict Tsunade, Naoki didn't dare argue and went back to his room.
"Did the kid do something wrong?" Shigeru asked.
Tsunade wasn't usually as strict with her younger brother as some others might be. She was more lenient.
Not letting him go out to play meant he must've really done something to anger her.
"It's all that idiot Jiraiya's fault!"
Tsunade gritted her teeth. "That idiot took Naoki out when he returned. More than ten days ago, they went to the women's bathhouse, and two perverts fell off the roof. They almost scared the girls inside to death."
"This even got reported to the Hokage's office. Do you think I'm angry or not?"
"..."
Whoa, that's intense.
No wonder Tsunade's keeping a tight leash on him now. After all that, who would dare let him roam free?
He's only nine!
Don't start acting like that just yet.
Her younger brother's antics made Tsunade both angry and helpless.
"The old man asked me a few days ago what I was planning for Naoki, but I haven't responded yet."
Not every child gets placed on a ninja team after graduating from school. Some are taken under the wing of a teacher, who helps them grow.
But Naoki doesn't need to be placed like that. Tsunade could easily find a teacher for him.
Originally, Tsunade was considering Orochimaru. She knew he wouldn't refuse if she asked.
But after discussing it with Shigeru, Jiraiya came into the conversation.
And look how that turned out—causing trouble before even becoming master and apprentice.
Tsunade's blood pressure soared with anger, and she wanted to crush both of them.
"Do you really trust Jiraiya?" Shigeru asked.
If it were up to Tsunade, she would've picked Orochimaru over Jiraiya any day.
"Well..."
Thinking about Jiraiya's antics, Shigeru couldn't help but laugh. "Even though Jiraiya can be a pervert and does plenty of things to make people mad, as a teacher, I trust his ability to guide his disciples. Mostly because his personality matches Naoki's."
"If he follows Jiraiya, there's a chance Naoki might even get noticed by Mount Myōboku one day."
Naruto was just a toned-down version of Naoki. If Naruto could gain the favor of Mount Myōboku, then why not Naoki?
Learning Sage Jutsu would boost his strength considerably.
"Let me think about it." Tsunade sighed. The more she thought about it, the more conflicted she felt.
Though she didn't want to admit it, the reality was that Jiraiya had continued to grow and raise his potential.
Ugh!
Why couldn't that idiot take things more seriously?
If he's so much of a pervert, can't he at least avoid taking children to peep?
The more she thought about it, the more irritated she became. Tsunade rubbed her forehead and let out a long breath.
"What about you? Do you need to sign a summoning contract with Katsuyu? I brought the scroll."
"Summoning beasts don't help me much, and I don't want to focus entirely on medical ninjutsu."
Shigeru shook his head.
He never considered signing a contract with a summoning beast.
Maybe he'd be interested in learning Sage Jutsu for free, but he wasn't sure how difficult or dangerous it was.
"Didn't you learn Sage Jutsu from Katsuyu?"
"That… ahem."
Tsunade suddenly looked embarrassed.
"Katsuyu Sage said I wasn't talented enough. I could learn it if I wanted, but it was too dangerous, so I gave up."
Not talented enough?
Are you sure?
Why do I feel like you're hiding something?
