Chapter 123: Tsunade's luck for betting

Tsunade, of course, did not agree to Natsuo's request. Konoha hasn't fallen so low as to sell out the Hokage. Tsunade's self-esteem also does not allow her to do such a thing.

 

'Well, let's try a different approach.' Natsuo blinked his eyes. "How about this? If you stay at my house for a day, the Uchiha clan will support Konoha with one hundred million Ryō, as long as you don't take the initiative I won't do anything to you. How about that?"

 

Upon hearing this, Tsunade's eyes lit up. "So, if I don't initiate it, you won't make a move?"

 

"Of course." Natsuo said matter-of-factly.

 

"You're trying to give me money, aren't you!" Tsunade burst into laughter. "I'll take this bet!"

 

'That I take the initiative? Natsuo, you must be daydreaming!

 

She may not be able to control others, but can she even control herself? Although it's a bet, can she really lose this bet?

 

Natsuo also knew this very well, but he did intend to give Tsunade some money.

 

Mainly because Tsunade is the mother of his child and so far she hasn't received any support from him.

 

The current bet, just like the ten billion compensation earlier, can be considered as compensation for Tsunade. He even planned to bet a few more times, lose more money, to appease his conscience.

 

After chatting for a few more sentences, they went their separate ways. Natsuo had a mindset of just wanting to give money and didn't care about anything else.

 

On the other hand, Tsunade, looking at Natsuo's calm appearance, started to feel a bit uncertain.

 

"He shouldn't have any way to make me take the initiative, right?" Tsunade thought for a moment. "No, that can't be, can it?"

 

"What can he do to shake my determination?"

 

"This bet has a high chance of winning, so there shouldn't be any problems!"

 

As long as she didn't agree, the situation would be a guaranteed victory. Wouldn't the winning rate be 100%? But considering her strange gambling luck, Tsunade felt a bit anxious.

 

"Maybe I should play it safe."

 

Tsunade pondered for a moment and called her secretary, Shizune. "Shizune, bring me my medicine bag."

 

"Tsunade-sama, what do you need it for?" Shizune asked curiously.

 

Tsunade whispered: "I'm planning to drug Natsuo!"

 

"Ah? Tsunade-sama, why do you suddenly want to..." Shizune panicked. Last time, Tsunade was a victim of the effects of drugs. Why are you thinking about drugging someone again?

 

"Shizune, you don't understand." Tsunade whispered. "Did you know that after a man has an orgasm, he has a refractory period?"

 

"In theory, as long as Natsuo is in his refractory period, my bet with him will be absolutely safe."

 

Even if Natsuo really has some means to make her take the initiative, as long as he is in his refractory period, those means will have no effect at all!

 

This is a double insurance. Tsunade praised her own cleverness.

 

"You make it sound like it makes sense." Shizune pondered for a moment and said: "I'll prepare it for you."

 

"Good, when it's time for dinner, I'll find an opportunity to drug Natsuo. This round of gambling will be a guaranteed victory!" Tsunade also had a determined look on her face. "Gambling against me, Tsunade? Natsuo, you're still too young!"

 

Soon it was time for dinner...

 

Various delicacies and exquisite ingredients are served on the table. Tsunade and Shizune silently swallow their saliva.

 

Although the Senju clan's wealth is not inferior to the Uchiha clan, the problem is that Tsunade has already lost it all!

 

They now owe a large sum of money. Although they have no worries about food and drink and traveling is also easy for them, they can forget about eating these precious delicacies and rare ingredients.

 

Their appetites are instantly aroused, and they enter a ravenous mode. But the Uchiha clan's generosity goes beyond just abundant food.

 

"This is the famous Katsura Crown, a specialty liquor from the Land of Rivers!" Tsunade's eyes light up. "It is said to incorporate the fragrance of the Katsura tree leaves unique to the Land of Rivers into the liquor, making it the finest sake!"

 

"Yes, indeed." Natsuo nods. "Consider it a gift for Hokage-sama."

 

"After all, the Uchiha clan has offended Hokage-sama in many ways. I hope Hokage-sama can forgive us..."

 

This also includes Natsuo's apology.

 

Tsunade's heart is instantly moved, because of her pregnancy and the crying of her child, she hasn't had a good drink in a long time!

 

Now is the perfect time to satisfy her craving for alcohol!

 

Tsunade immediately takes action. Shizune is also the same. How could Tsunade, a petty woman, let her loyal follower drink alone? Both of them have been craving alcohol for a long time!

 

They start drinking heavily.

 

Meanwhile, Natsuo sips his drink slowly, one small cup at a time.

 

Drinking alcohol is a big taboo when trying to conceive, and he rarely touches a drop of alcohol on normal days. However, since it's a way to make amends, he decided to accompany her and drink a little less.

 

Tsunade started drinking heavily as a form of revenge, not even bothering to eat, and started chugging straight from the bottle.

 

Shizune, who does not have a high tolerance for alcohol, was the first to get drunk.

 

Tsunade soon became dazed as well.

 

"Oh...Oh, right, I still need to drug Natsuo..." Tsunade tried to maintain some clarity and started taking action. But she only ended up drinking another glass of alcohol.

 

"Huh, why does this alcohol taste strange, like it's...medicated?"

 

And then Natsuo noticed that Tsunade suddenly got closer to him.

 

Natsuo: "...?"

 

Tsunade blushed, the esteemed Hokage herself had made such a serious mistake! She accidentally drugged her own drink!

 

"It's all because Uchiha's alcohol is too good! Natsuo, you despicable person!"

 

No, this won't do! Konoha is in urgent need of funds, so I must take advantage of Natsuo's mistake and make a fortune. Of course, as a dignified Kage-level expert, I will never repeat the same mistake.

 

"Shizune, I'll leave the drugging to you this time!" Tsunade said seriously.

 

Shizune also vowed earnestly, "Yes, Lady Tsunade, I will do my best!"

 

Tsunade continued to eat and drink excessively. Since she had entrusted the drugging to Shizune, her only responsibility was to keep Natsuo's attention.

 

And so, after three rounds of drinking.

'Shizune should have taken action by now. Natsuo, let's see what chance you have to win against me this time!"

 

In the midst of confusion, Tsunade maintained a hint of gambler's pride in her heart. In a game where victory was certain, how could I, Tsunade, have a reason to lose?

 

Then she took a sip of her drink and realized after swallowing it that something was off.

 

'Hmm, this taste doesn't seem right... Oh my god! Did Shizune trick me?!'

 

Tsunade mustered all her strength to turn her head and found Shizune already heavily intoxicated. And she herself was also quite drunk.

 

And so...

 

Natsuo discovered another warm and fragrant body in his embrace.

 

Natsuo: "...?"

 

'Damn it! Why am I so unlucky!' Tsunade's face turned red with anger, even suppressing the flush on her face.

 

"I'm sorry, Lady Tsunade, I accidentally made a mistake." Shizune said with a face full of shame.

 

But this was also inevitable.

 

Shizune's strength was already inferior to Natsuo's, so if she wanted to drug him in front of Natsuo, she naturally had to wait until he was a bit drunk.

 

But since Tsunade was already showing signs of being drunk, Shizune had naturally also had quite a few drinks.

 

In addition, Tsunade herself had to focus on keeping Natsuo's attention and creating opportunities for Shizune, so she naturally couldn't devote too much energy to Shizune's side.

 

Who could have expected that Shizune would actually make a mistake with the wine bottle and end up drugging Tsunade.

 

Tsunade, discovered the crux of the problem: 'Actually, if I think carefully, without the assistance of drugs, as long as I have a strong will, I won't be the one taking the initiative at all!'

 

'It was because I initially wanted to be foolproof that I ended up being clumsy and creating a huge loophole...'

 

The battle continues...

 

On the next day...

 

During dinner...

 

Tsunade let loose this time, eating and drinking freely. Anyway, I won't drug you anymore, can you still make me fall for it?

 

But after three rounds of drinks...

 

After Tsunade finished a glass of wine, she felt a familiar taste again.

 

"Why! Why is it like this!"

 

Tsunade became angry and began to investigate the problem. She quickly caught the culprit, Ringo Ameyuri!

 

"Why did you drug me?!" Tsunade's face was full of anger. "Did you plan this with Natsuo?"

 

"Plan?" Ringo was puzzled and said strangely: "No, I was just helping you guys."

 

"Earlier, you took drugs to create an opportunity with Natsuo, right?"

 

"Well, considering that you treated me before, I definitely wanted to help you."

 

Natsuo was too lazy to care about Tsunade and Shizune's actions, one way or another he wouldn't lose out. Even if by some divine luck they managed to give him some drug, with the Sage Body nothing would happen to him.

 

Besides Natsuo, another person who noticed the actions of the two drunk women was Ameyuri.

 

After thinking about it, Ameyuri believed that it must be because Tsunade was too proud to admit that she wanted to be with Natsuo, so she deliberately used medicine as an excuse.

 

Although Ameyuri herself thinks that Tsunade is a formidable Kage-level expert, making excuses is really embarrassing and not decisive enough.

 

But she feels grateful to Tsunade and Shizune for their medical treatment, and she feels guilty for accidentally causing trouble for Tsunade at that time.

 

She decides to take the initiative to create an opportunity for her life-saving benefactor!

 

'Why are you blaming me instead?' Ameyuri feels very wronged.

 

"What the hell did you help me with?" Tsunade's anger rose as she drank.

 

She almost wanted to take action. If Ameyuri wasn't pregnant, she would probably have started hitting people already.

 

Ameyuri also opened her mouth in confusion after hearing Tsunade's words.

 

This is...

 

During dinner the next day...

 

Although what happened yesterday was a misunderstanding on Ameyuri's part. But since Tsunade made her stance clear, there will definitely be no problem this time.

 

However, unlike the previous special meal prepared specifically to entertain Hokage-sama, today's food was made by Yukino and a few wives who love cooking.

 

As wives, although their culinary skills cannot compare to those of professional chefs in hotels, how can a housewife let her husband not taste the food she cooked?

 

Therefore, although the Uchiha clan employs high-level chefs, every few days, Natsuo's wives will perform a 'cooking with love'.

 

Tsunade and Shizune are determined to prepare for today's battle.

 

"This time, there will definitely be no accidents!" Tsunade said firmly.

 

But as soon as she picked up her chopsticks...

 

"Huh, why doesn't this dish taste right?" Tsunade cried out: "Natsuo! What did you do?!"

 

Natsuo furrowed his eyebrows and took a shallow taste, and he also realized that something was wrong.

 

He couldn't help but ask Yukino: "Yukino, did you make this dish? Did you put something in it?"

 

"Put something in it?" Yukino looked puzzled. "No, I didn't. Why would I do that?"

 

"But I did add some seasoning that Tsunade brought, the powder in the small bottle that Shizune brought two days ago. She said it's Tsunade's favorite flavor. She doesn't like dishes without these seasonings..."

 

"Did I do something wrong?"

 

Yukino asked timidly.

 

Shizune opened her mouth but couldn't say a word.

 

When Yukino saw the small bottle around her waist, she did say the word 'seasoning'. After all, she couldn't say in front of Natsuo's wife that she and Tsunade were planning to drug Natsuo, right?

 

Who would have thought that Yukino actually remembered it, and in order to satisfy Tsunade's taste, she added Tsunade's favorite seasoning.

 

This...

 

But it has to be said that as a product of Tsunade, the medicinal effect is quite good.

 

And so, a 'family reunion' began.

 

Natsuo: "...!"

 

After a whole night...

 

Tsunade wailed and rolled on the ground.

 

"I will never gamble again!"

 

"I don't want the money anymore! I don't want it!"

 

Even Natsuo fell into silence.

 

Even though he came up with a surefire gambling method for Tsunade and even cooperated with her to prepare to lose money.

 

The result was such a huge victory, yet it still collapsed under the cause-and-effect law of Tsunade's gambling defeat.

 

Perhaps this woman is naturally unlucky when it comes to money...
