Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Do You Want to End Up Like Shimura Shūitsu?



Thanks to Snowy's warning, Takuya knew that the ANBU were around, helping to clear the

area.

Otherwise, with Tsunade's loud voice, ranting like this about the village's leadership would definitely cause unnecessary trouble.

It took a few hours for the barbecue session to finally wrap up, and by then, the sky had already darkened.

Carrying a completely intoxicated Tsunade, Takuya nearly jumped out of his skin when it was time to settle the bill.

Wow, 280,000 ryo for one meal!

The sake Tsunade had been drinking was top-notch, and the alcohol alone accounted for two- thirds of the bill.

"Like a dead weight," Takuya muttered, tossing Tsunade onto the guest bed and throwing a blanket over her before heading to clean up.

Knock, knock, knock!

Hearing the door, Takuya opened it to find Mikoto Uchiha and Kushina Uzumaki standing there.

"Whoa, did you drink? You reek of alcohol," Kushina wrinkled her nose, clearly disapproving. "Takuya, we're still kids, you know. Drinking too early isn't good for your health."

"Drink my foot!" Takuya laughed, pointing toward the guest room. "The one who drank is in there, passed out like a dead pig. I was just about to wash up when you two arrived. Where's Nami?"

"Tsunade-sis?" Kushina, knowing Tsunade had returned with Takuya, opened the guest room door to find Tsunade sprawled out without a care in the world. With a sigh, she tucked the blanket around her and thoughtfully placed a pillow under her head.

After finishing, Kushina quietly closed the door.

In the living room, Mikoto was brewing tea while Takuya was drying his still-dripping hair with a towel.

"What happened to Tsunade-sis? Why did she drink so much?" Kushina asked, a hint of concern in her voice.

"She's in a bad mood, I guess. I don't know the details; you'll have to ask her tomorrow," Takuya replied with a shrug. "By the way, where's Nami?"

"She's already asleep. Takuya, thank you for bringing her back to the Leaf," Kushina said, her voice wavering slightly as her eyes began to water. Takuya quickly waved her off.

"Enough! You cried all afternoon-haven't you had enough?" he teased.

"I'm just really happy," Kushina pouted, fighting back the tears. She knew Takuya didn't like seeing girls cry.

"Thanks, Mikoto-sis," she added gratefully.

"No need to thank me," Mikoto replied, pouring tea for both Takuya and Kushina.

After a sip of tea, Kushina eagerly turned to Takuya. "Takuya, I want to live with Nami."

"Live together?" Takuya frowned, shaking his head. "That's not a good idea. It'll cause problems for both of you."

"But..." Kushina hesitated. After years of being the only one, she finally had a clan member by her side. The idea of living together was so tempting. But she knew her situation was too delicate for that, and Takuya was right-it would only lead to trouble for everyone involved.

"Keep your voice down! Do you want to end up like Shimura Shūitsu?" the other hissed back.

"..."

The ANBU agents chatted quietly, knowing full well that if Takuya had caught them hiding before, they'd have issued a warning to back off.

But now... they didn't dare provoke him. The last thing they wanted was to be forced into some humiliating situation-like that infamous "pole-dance incident."

The Third Kazekage had almost lost his mind from the accusations.

Yet, hardly anyone believed him.

The rumors spread like wildfire. After the Third Kazekage admitted he had been under a

genjutsu and had indeed danced, things only got worse.

If he had the chance to do it all over again, he'd rather take the secret to his grave than reveal

it.

The original plan had been to frame Takuya, hoping to get him on other villages'

assassination lists.

Well, Takuya did end up on those lists.

But the Third Kazekage's reputation was ruined in the process.

Now, whenever someone thought of him, the first thing that came to mind was the pole-

dance incident, while Takuya was still out there, perfectly fine, without a care in the world.

By the end of it all, the Third Kazekage had been thoroughly outplayed.

Boring.

After sitting around for a while, Takuya went back inside to sleep, and the ANBU agents

breathed a sigh of relief.

Finally, that kid's gone.

The next day, Tsunade woke up with a pounding headache, slumped over the table, looking

pale.

Anyone who saw her might have thought she was seriously ill.
