Chapter 225

A line of lyrics immediately surfaced in his mind: "Give me a cup of forget-love water, in exchange for a night without tears."

"Let's just call it the Memory Sealing Jutsu."

Tsunade stood up and said, "I'm leaving now; let's call it a day."

"Lady Tsunade, what's wrong?"

Kurenai Yuhi noticed that her expression was off.

Kitazawa was slightly startled, then suddenly realized what had happened.

It was the two words "forget love" that had triggered Tsunade's past memories.

"I'll go check on her."

Kitazawa followed after her.

Although it was an unintentional slip, it was indeed his own fault.

Shizune also realized the reason.

But seeing Kitazawa follow her out, she sat back down after having started to rise.

She had already tried to persuade Tsunade many times, but with little success.

Perhaps someone else might yield a different result.

"Lady Tsunade."

Kitazawa caught up to Tsunade.

"Why is it Itachi? Where is Shizune?"

Tsunade glanced at him, her brows furrowed, and asked.

"Just now..."

Kitazawa said two words, then stopped.

"Itachi really are clever."

Tsunade reacted instantly, turning to look at the night sky with a complex gaze, and said, "Go back, Itachi don't need to follow me."

"Lady Tsunade, where are Itachi planning to go so late at night?"

Kitazawa said with a calm expression, "Perhaps I can be of help."

"Itachi can... good, Itachi've come at the right time."

Tsunade suddenly thought of something and asked, "Do Itachi have any money on Itachi?"

The money she and Shizune had was long gone, lost at the casino.

"Are Itachi going to the casino?"

Kitazawa didn't find it surprising.

When people are feeling down, they often do what they enjoy.

"Is that not allowed?"

Tsunade reached out her hand and said, "Once the old man gives me money tomorrow, I'll pay Itachi back."

"Lady Tsunade."

A flash of inspiration hit Kitazawa, and he asked, "Do Itachi know about drinking-gambling?"

"What is drinking-gambling?"

A look of confusion appeared on Tsunade's face.

"It's just drinking while gambling."

Kitazawa explained.

"There's a way to play like that?"

Tsunade's eyes lit up instantly, shining like jewels in the night.

There were two great joys in her life: one was drinking, and the other was gambling.

Now that there was a way to combine them, it was undoubtedly double the pleasure for her.

"Yes, there is."

Kitazawa asked with a smile, "I'll treat Itachi to a drink, shall we go?"

"Let's go!"

Tsunade said without hesitation.

She was feeling restless and agitated, so she naturally wouldn't refuse an offer for a drink.

After saying this, she grabbed Kitazawa's wrist and headed toward an izakaya she was familiar with.

"Lady Tsunade, slow down!"

Kitazawa hadn't even reacted and was forced to speed up.

"Itachi're a Special Jonin, can't Itachi even handle this much speed?"

Tsunade glanced at him and said, "Itachi should train your body more."

"..."

Kitazawa couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

Itachi have the bloodline of the Senju clan; I don't.

"Even if Itachi are a medical ninja, Itachi can't hide behind your teammates' protection all the time."

Tsunade let go of him, clenched her fist, and said, "A medical ninja who can defeat the enemy is a true medical ninja!"

"I know Lady Tsunade is a very powerful taijutsu ninja."

Kitazawa blinked and asked, "So, can Itachi teach me taijutsu?"

"Itachi really don't stand on ceremony at all."

Tsunade retorted, then waved her hand and said, "Wait until Itachi've learned medical ninjutsu first."

The two walked into the izakaya.

Perhaps because it was already late at night, the izakaya was empty.

Tsunade entered a private room with ease and ordered drinks and food.

Clearly, she had been here many times; even the proprietress of the izakaya was very familiar with her and gave her a complimentary plate of sashimi.

"What is the way to play drinking-gambling?"

After Tsunade sat down, she asked impatiently.

She didn't even wait for Kitazawa to sit down.

Kitazawa's gaze subconsciously fell on her round, full hips.

In the category of maturity, it would be hard to find a second female ninja in the ninja world who could compare to her.

"Actually, it's very simple; it's just finger-guessing."

Kitazawa explained, "Itachi and I play finger-guessing; whoever loses has to drink."

"How do Itachi play finger-guessing?"

Tsunade became interested and asked.

"Using ten fingers."

Kitazawa held out his hands and explained the finger-guessing game from his past life.

Finger-guessing originated from ancient drinking games, and there were different rules in different places.

The rules Kitazawa told her were that both sides show a number with their fingers and then each call out a number.

If the number called out is the sum of the fingers shown by both sides, then that person is the winner.

"This way of drinking-gambling is not bad."

Tsunade praised, "Itachi kid really has a brain."

In her view, finger-guessing was not just about gambling on winning or losing, but also a contest of keen eyes and intelligence.

For someone addicted to gambling, it was very exciting.

Especially since their stake was fine wine.

Winning was best, and losing wasn't bad either.

Tsunade had discovered a way of gambling that suited her for the first time.

"Two guests, please enjoy."

The proprietress brought the drinks and food, then left quickly.

"Come on!"

Tsunade stood up, took off her tea-green outer coat, and revealed her sleeveless top.

She leaned forward, picked up the wine pot on the table, and with a turn of her wrist, poured two cups of wine.

Kitazawa sat opposite her, only able to see that necklace swaying back and forth on her snow-white skin with her movements.

The episode where one envies the necklace the most.

"Don't dawdle!"

Tsunade sat back down and reached out her fair, tender arms.

"Lady Tsunade, please go easy on me; my tolerance for alcohol isn't very good."

Kitazawa raised his hand and said with a smile.

"I love watching people with low alcohol tolerance get drunk."

Tsunade's mouth curled slightly as she spoke.

"It seems the only way is to win against Itachi."

Kitazawa said seriously.

"The one who wins will definitely be me!"

Tsunade gave a light huff, her eyes sharp, and said, "Let's start!"

But in fact, it was proven that in any game related to gambling, she could never win.

"Damn it!"

Tsunade drank twelve cups of wine in one breath, and a flush had already appeared on her beautiful face.

"Lady Tsunade, let me have a drink with Itachi."

Just as Kitazawa was about to pick up his wine cup, his wrist was grabbed by Tsunade.

"Itachi... what do Itachi mean?"

Tsunade leaned forward, her sleeveless top pulled down by the force, the neckline wide open, revealing a scandalous volume.

Who turned on the flash?

Kitazawa subconsciously looked away.

"I... I accept the loss, I don't need Itachi to accompany me!"

Tsunade let go of his hand and said, "Continue!"

Kitazawa had no choice but to play finger-guessing with her again.

"Itachi kid... your luck is quite good tonight!"

Tsunade shook her head and drank another cup of wine.

She was already slightly tipsy, her voice mixed with the scent of alcohol, appearing very lazy.

And even more fatal was that swaying, mature body.

"Lady Tsunade, don't just drink, eat some food."
