Chapter 233: Chapter 233: A Feast Every Day, and the Third Hokage Can’t Take It Anymore
Pfft!
One glance at the bill, and the Third Hokage nearly choked on his tea.
Something wasn't right. Did they make a mistake with the total? How on earth does a barbecue meal cost several hundred thousand ryo? Is the meat plated with gold or something? "Hokage-sama, there's no mistake in the bill. Tsunade-sama didn't eat much herself, but she took a lot of it to go-about a hundred servings of our special marinated meat. She said she'd take it home and eat it slowly. Now, a lot of our regular customers can't even order because we're out of stock."

After dismissing the messenger, the Third Hokage's hands trembled.
"Immediately-no, right now, bring Tsunade to me. Either she comes to see me, or I'll go find her myself!!"
In just half a day, Tsunade had already spent tens of millions of ryō. If this continued, who knows what might happen next?
By having all the bills sent directly to the Hokage's office, Tsunade was making her stance clear: If you won't deal with the issue, fine, I'll make you pay.
The Third Hokage had been reluctant to confront the matter for two reasons. First, Konoha genuinely didn't have a lot of liquid funds at the moment. Second, Tsunade's reputation as a compulsive gambler meant she had accumulated a massive amount of debt. But until now, no one had dared to send her bills straight to the Hokage's office.
This time, Tsunade had decided to let loose completely.
She's a real spender, the Third Hokage thought with a shudder, looking at the growing pile of bills. No matter how much wealth you had, it would never be enough to keep up with
Tsunade's spending habits.
"Tsunade bought us a house?"
"That's awesome! I've been sick of this rundown place for ages-rats, bugs everywhere, freezing in the winter and suffocating in the summer. Finally, we'll get to live in a proper house!"
Kushina jumped up in excitement, while Takuya stood there in disbelief.
Their current living conditions really were terrible. The house wasn't great, and even after Kushina had helped renovate it, the place was still barely holding together.
Now that they were moving, Kushina couldn't contain her joy.
As Konoha's top young wealthy kunoichi, it was absurd that Kushina had been living in a rundown place. People who didn't know might have thought she was stingy.
"Pack up your things! We're moving right now, and tonight we're having a barbecue-eat as much as you want!"
It's easy to be generous when you're not the one paying. Tsunade's declaration was filled with confidence and swagger.
Takuya didn't have much to pack, but Kushina and Tsunade had so much stuff that they had to hire carriages to move it all.
So, Takuya and Minato went ahead to check out the new place.
"Holy..."
Minato was floored by the sight of the massive villa in front of him.
Could I ever afford a place like this? Minato wondered, mentally counting the savings in his little wallet.
If it were possible, he would love to live next to Takuya, but unfortunately, his budget couldn't handle it. These houses were just too expensive.
A villa costing a few million ryō was far beyond Minato's means. Even if he sold himself, he couldn't afford one.
"There are smaller places nearby, though. Around a few hundred thousand ryō should be enough. If you're interested, we can check it out tomorrow."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Minato definitely couldn't afford millions, but a few hundred thousand? That was more doable.
"But did you really need to buy three houses?"
Damn it, who built these villas, charging millions of ryō each? You might as well be robbing
people!
And even worse, Tsunade hadn't just bought one-she bought three! Not even the Third Hokage had the guts to pull something like that.
"Yeah," Tsunade replied lazily, filing her nails as she sat in her chair. "One for me, and one for
Nawaki."
"He's getting older, you know. He can't live with me forever, can he? It'd be inconvenient.
Don't you think?"
"..."
Fine. You've got a point.
"But what's the deal with the third house?"
"Oh, that one's for Kushina. Did you forget about her? She's practically my sister! I've been so
busy with village affairs that I haven't had time to take care of her. Buying her a house is the
least I could do, right?"
Pfft-
The Third Hokage almost spit up blood.
Her reasoning was sound, but did Kushina really need Tsunade to buy her a house?
Kushina could sell a chunk of Konoha and still have enough houses to move into a different
one every day for a year.
Did she really need Tsunade's help?
