Chapter 226

Kitazawa sighed in his heart and advised.

Is my luck good? It's clearly that your luck is bad.

"Nagging!"

Tsunade slapped the table and said, "Drinking should be straightforward!"

"Yes, Lady Tsunade."

Kitazawa picked up his chopsticks, picked up a piece of chicken, and brought it to her lips.

Tsunade was silent for a moment, opened her moist lips, and took a bite of the chicken.

She chewed a few times and swallowed it.

"The last person to feed me like this... was... Nawaki..."

Tsunade looked at the wine cup in her hand, her eyes unfocused, her thoughts drifting far away.

Nawaki fed her, not because of sibling affection, but purely because the food she cooked was too terrible.

To avoid suffering alone, he dragged her along with him.

"Some things have already passed, but some things can still be changed."

Kitazawa raised his wine cup and said, "Lady Tsunade, Itachi should look forward."

"What do Itachi know?"

Tsunade glared at him and asked.

"I really don't know."

Kitazawa said frankly, "My parents died too early; I haven't truly experienced the loss of a loved one in the real sense."

"..."

Tsunade opened her mouth and drank another cup of wine.

Only then did she remember that Kitazawa had lost both parents since he was young and had lived alone ever since.

"If Itachi don't eat the food, it will get cold, Lady Tsunade."

Kitazawa raised his hand and said.

"Itachi're so annoying!"

Tsunade was a bit unhappy, but she still took the chopsticks from his hand.

She put down her wine cup, picked up the food on the table, and soon stuffed her mouth full, her cheeks looking puffed out.

"Was the person Itachi just mentioned Nawaki?"

Kitazawa poured her a cup of wine and asked.

"Itachi know him?"

Tsunade drank it in one gulp, her face full of a flush.

"I've heard his name."

Kitazawa said truthfully, "But I don't know much about him."

"He, ah, was a sunny and cheerful little boy who dreamed of becoming Hokage, since he was little..."

Tsunade stopped drinking and told the story of Nawaki intermittently.

She hadn't mentioned Nawaki for many years; suddenly opening the floodgates, she couldn't stop.

Kitazawa was a very good listener.

His patience was truly practiced from the womb.

Moreover, there wasn't much mentioned about Nawaki in the original work, so he just treated it as watching a side story of the original.

"Finished... finished telling it... so... so his story is this short..."

Tsunade suddenly stood up, picked up the wine pot, tilted her head, and started pouring wine into her mouth.

The crystal-clear wine slid down from the corner of her mouth, along her slender neck, and disappeared into her fair, tender skin.

Tsunade finished the wine and slammed the wine pot onto the table.

She was already drunk and looked at Kitazawa in a daze.

Tsunade met his gentle gaze, and her heart couldn't help but tremble.

"Lady Tsunade, it's late, I'll see Itachi back."

Kitazawa saw that her emotions had been vented enough, so he spoke up.

"It's... it's time to go..."

Tsunade turned and walked out.

"Your coat..."

Kitazawa noticed that she hadn't taken the tea-green outer coat she had thrown aside, so he quickly reminded her.

But before he could finish, he was interrupted by a bang.

Tsunade had dizzily bumped into the door.

She shook her head, clutching her forehead, and cursed, "Who... who bumped into me?!"

Kitazawa watched her struggle with a door and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"What are Itachi laughing at?"

Tsunade turned back and asked unhappily, "Come... come over and help me!"

"Yes, Lady Tsunade."

Kitazawa walked in front of her, reached out his hand, and opened the door.

"How dare Itachi bump into me!"

Tsunade kicked the door, then stumbled out.

Kitazawa shook his head, picked up her tea-green outer coat, and quickly followed.

Tsunade didn't walk fast.

After Kitazawa paid the proprietress, he easily caught up with her.

He watched Tsunade's unsteady gait, thought for a moment, stepped forward, and grabbed her wrist to prevent her from falling.

"Did... did Itachi pay the bill?"

Tsunade asked drunkenly.

"Why don't Itachi skip out on the bill when Itachi're drinking?"

Kitazawa couldn't help but ask with a smile.

"What skipping out on the bill? I... I never skip out on the bill!"

Tsunade patted his back and said, "Don't... don't talk nonsense!"

"Are the IOUs at Senior Sister Shizune's place all fake then?"

Kitazawa blinked and asked.

"What?"

Tsunade looked shocked and said angrily, "She even told Itachi about that? That's simply outrageous!"

"I saw it by accident."

Kitazawa coughed lightly and said, "It has nothing to do with Senior Sister Shizune."

"Then... those IOUs..."

Tsunade bit her finger and defended herself, "They... they gave them to me voluntarily!"

"..."

Kitazawa was speechless.

But thinking about it carefully, she was indeed not wrong.

Because of her status and position, those who lent her money were indeed voluntary.

"Alright, stop asking!"

Tsunade's body leaned against him, and she said, "I'm tired, take me back!"

Kitazawa reached out and supported her waist.

Tsunade fell into his arms as a result.

The scent of perfume and alcohol were mixed.

Kitazawa felt the softness and fullness in his arms and walked slowly back home.

"Itachi two..."

Shizune opened the door and saw Tsunade and Kitazawa embracing, her eyes widening instantly.
