"Stop right there, who said I agreed to you sleeping at my house?"
Tsunade clenched her fists tightly; they were hard, her fists were hard. This conceited jerk not only made her miss out on the gambling house, but now he was even deciding to sleep at her house on his own accord.
If the other party wasn't a Daimyo, Tsunade felt she would definitely give him two solid punches, heal him, then punch him again, to show him what cruelty was.
"As a guide, and the little princess of Konoha, shouldn't you extend your hospitality and invite your guest to stay at your home?" Lord Mitsuki said as if it were the most natural thing.
"Who would invite a jerk like you to stay at their house?"
"Ah, what a pity. I originally thought that Princess Tsunade would be willing to host us, and I'd give her a few jars of good wine. But she's not interested, so I shouldn't force it. Let's go, we'll find an inn."
Mitsuki Kōmei took out a small porcelain bottle from his in arms, gently opened the lid, and a rich, mellow aroma of wine wafted out. He took a small sip, narrowed his eyes, and looked utterly content.
He secretly glanced at Tsunade from the corner of his eye; her small nose twitched, a glistening trail of drool hung from the corner of her mouth, and her pink tongue licked her lips.
"You stop right there, Lord Mitsuki ! Coming to Konoha and staying in an inn? Are you looking down on the Senju clan, looking down on me? I order you, go to my house right now, immediately!"
The sudden turn of events truly shocked the others.
Mitsuki Kōmei happily accepted the invitation and moved into the Senju Clan Grounds. Only a few scattered lights illuminated the vast compound, and Uzumaki Mito was currently eating dinner.
"Oh, my little Tsunade finally knows to bring friends home to play! Come in quickly and sit down."
Uzumaki Mito put down her chopsticks, smiling as she gently waved them over. Tsunade quickly ran to her, hugging Grandma Mito's arm and gently swaying it back and forth.
"Hello, Grandma Mito. We are Tsunade's friends. We apologize for the impromptu visit and hope you don't mind. This thousand-year-old wooden pearl is for you."
Mitsuki Kōmei took out a wooden box, opened the lid, revealing the wooden pearl inside.
Uzumaki Mito pushed the pearl back, "It's fine that you came, but why bring a gift? Please take it back."
"Grandma, we can't accept this jerk's gift. He's probably up to no good."
"Please accept it. Drink it steeped in water; long-term consumption can clear hidden injuries, strengthen the body, beautify the skin, reduce wrinkles, and delay aging."
At ten million ryo per pearl, Mitsuki Kōmei bought five at once, perfect for gifting. No one dislikes youth and longevity.
"Grandma, take it. Don't refuse a free gift. Since this jerk insists on staying at our house, consider it lodging fee." Tsunade snatched the pearl, holding it in her hand and playing with it.
As soon as Tsunade heard that the pearl could beautify the skin, reduce wrinkles, and delay aging, her stance instantly changed, doing a 180-degree turn.
"You child, it's a good thing to have friends stay over. Then I'll accept it. Go on, take your friends to their quarters. If you need anything, tell the servants and have them prepare it. Little Tsunade, get along well with your friends."
After Mitsuki and the others left, Uzumaki Mito went to the Seal space, walking in front of the sealed Nine-Tailed.
"Nine-Tailed, tell me the composition and effects of that pearl."
"Bastard, how dare you appear before me! I'll kill you!"
Uzumaki Mito used the Adamantine Seal sealing technique to fiercely suppress the Nine-Tailed to the ground.
"Tell me, and perhaps I can make you feel a little better."
"I don't know either; I can only sense a rich life energy within it."
Uzumaki Mito left the Seal space, examining the pearl in her hand, lost in thought. What was his purpose? It couldn't just be to stay for a few days. Could it be? A big matter!
"That child likes little Tsunade. I didn't expect that even little Tsunade, who loves gambling, drinking, and violence, would have someone who likes her. We can't scare the child away."
"You bastard, you'll live in this courtyard from now on. You can pick any room you want. Give me the wine!"
Mitsuki Kōmei watched Tsunade extend her small hand in front of him, shaking it up and down, demanding wine. He turned to Guo Er and said.
"Guo Er, get her two jars of wine."
Uchiha Guo took two jars of wine from a Seal scroll and handed them to Tsunade. Imperial Jade Liquid Wine, one jar for 108,000 points.
Tsunade reached out and took the wine jars, impatiently opening them. The rich aroma of wine wafted out, and she drank a third of one in one gulp, her face immediately turning rosy.
"Good wine!"
Mitsuki Kōmei, with an air of integrity and no ill intentions, invited Tsunade to drink with him.
"Not bad, right? Want to have a drink together? The moonlight is beautiful, perfect for drinking and moon-gazing."
Tsunade hugged the wine jar, her big eyes darting around.
"Forget it! It's already very late, I need to go back and rest. You drink by yourself." Saying so, she made to leave.
"Hahaha, Princess Tsunade, your abacus is clanking so loudly I can hear it all the way in the Land of Water. Is there still a problem with drinking my wine?"
Mitsuki Kōmei was tightly pulled by Tsunade on his sleeve. "Is it settled? No regrets? I'll go prepare some snacks."
Half an hour later, in the small courtyard where Mitsuki Kōmei was staying, a square table was set, with six dishes of appetizers on it.
Mitsuki Kōmei, Tsunade, Uchiha Guo, and Yagura sat around the table.
"Hurry, hurry, bring out the wine! Tonight, we don't go home until we're drunk!"
"Guo Er, bring out two more jars. You and Yagura should drink less, the wine is strong."
Mitsuki Kōmei opened the spiritual clay wine Seal, picked up the wine jar, and poured more than half a bowl for each person. Unable to bear Tsunade's constant nagging, he filled a large bowl for her.
After a few bowls of wine, Tsunade was tipsy.
"Just drinking is boring, let's play a game. A drinking game, the loser drinks." Mitsuki Kōmei suggested to liven the atmosphere.
"Alright, this old lady will play with you. The loser can't run away!"
After a few rounds of the game, Tsunade lost more than she won, and all the wine went into her stomach. Her interest grew stronger and stronger.
"Again! Open the other jar of wine!"..."Drink, hurry and drink! You're not going to renege, are you?"
Mitsuki Kōmei was held by Tsunade's head, helplessly watching Tsunade with one foot on the chair, one hand holding a wine bowl to his mouth.
"I clearly won, Princess Tsunade, don't mess around."
Tsunade was a tiny bit drunk, already unable to distinguish between winning and losing, acting purely on instinct.
Mitsuki Kōmei dodged left and right, and the wine in Tsunade's hand couldn't reach his mouth at all.
"This old lady doesn't believe I can't force it into you. You have to drink this wine today!"
Mitsuki Kōmei's constant dodging stoked Tsunade's temper. Tsunade took the wine into her mouth, clamped Mitsuki Kōmei's cheeks with both hands, and forcibly poured the wine into Mitsuki Kōmei's mouth in a special way.
With drunken, blurry eyes and warm lips, Mitsuki Kōmei, caught off guard, was forced (willingly) to drink the bowl of wine Tsunade fed him in several attempts.
"Hmph, this old lady won!"
"You're right, you won big. Again!"
The night grew deeper, the weather turned slightly cool, the table of appetizers was a mess, and several wine jars lay on the ground. Tsunade was sprawled on the table, completely drunk.
She kept mumbling.
"I won more than a dozen times tonight, this old lady won big. Mitsuki Kōmei, you jerk, do you still dare to provoke this old lady?"
Mitsuki Kōmei sat on the chair, looking at Tsunade, whose face was flushed and a smile hung on her lips.
"You won, but I didn't lose either. This is called a win-win."
Three out of four people were drunk. He gently carried Guo Er into her room, picked up Yagura with one hand, and threw him onto the bed in his room.
Returning to the courtyard, he picked up Tsunade and placed her on Guo Er's bed.
After settling the three of them, Mitsuki Kōmei returned to his own room, set up a Water Illusion Barrier, and changed into his stealth suit. He planned to explore the Hokage Building at night.
