Chapter 60 I really only ate one bowl of ramen
Looking at Uchiha Ike, who had his hands outstretched open in a nonchalant manner.
Tsunade was speechless for a moment.
She naturally knew about the Uchiha clan, but over the years she hadn't had much contact with them and didn't have any Uchiha friends. After all, she was from the Senju clan, who had been her enemies for thousands of years.
However, according to stereotypes, this ninja clan is indeed as Uchiha Ike described.
They are incredibly kind to their relatives and friends, but unusually indifferent to strangers.
Therefore, according to this stereotype, it is reasonable for Uchiha Ike to be distant from Kakashi and Kurenai Yuhi, his two newly acquainted teammates.
However, Tsunade could clearly sense a different emotion hidden beneath the other person's smile.
That was disappointment.
Tsunade pursed her lips, realizing that it was her own instigation that had ruined his expectations of his teammates.
But the boy now denies this, stubbornly insisting that he never expected it...
Hiding one's softness and covering oneself with thorns prevents anyone from touching one's body; isn't that also a form of gentleness?
But this made Tsunade feel even more that she couldn't ignore it.
Because she didn't want Uchiha Ike's gentleness to fade away with time.
That's too cruel...
Just then.
Uchiha Ike turned his head to look at the wooden stake, his eyes lighting up. He pointed at the playing cards and asked, "Lady Tsunade, you can play cards?"
"What do you mean?"
Tsunade's gentle gaze instantly sharpened.
It was as if all my previous thoughts had vanished into thin air.
Do you think I'm bad at cards?
"I didn't say that..." Uchiha Ike's lips twitched slightly.
Isn't this Konoha princess a bit too sensitive?
"Oh, no, that's good." Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief, reached for the playing cards, and glanced sideways at Uchiha Ike:
"Then why are you asking this?"
"I'm just curious about Lady Tsunade's skill level," Uchiha Ike said with a slow smile. "After all, I've been seeing Lady Tsunade coming out of casinos quite often lately."
Tsunade's eyes widened immediately. "Is that so?"
How come she didn't know?
Uchiha Ike nodded: "Yes, I greeted you twice, but you didn't seem to be in a good mood..."
Although he didn't continue speaking, Tsunade understood what he meant.
I was in a bad mood at the time, so I didn't hear his greeting.
And because of this incident, Uchiha Ike... must feel that he is very weak!
"Little brat..." Tsunade said, "My skills are not weak, you know, I've just always had bad luck."
When did I ever say you were bad...?
Uchiha Ike silently muttered a complaint, but nodded outwardly: "I know, Lady Tsunade is very powerful."
After hearing this, Tsunade not only didn't relax, but her expression became even more displeased, and she even started grinding her teeth secretly, as if she wanted to devour Uchiha Ike alive.
Is this Uchiha brat provoking her?
No, I have to show him what I'm capable of!
"Hey, have you ever played blackjack?" Tsunade's eyes were full of threat.
Uchiha Ike thought for a moment: "Is it that game where whoever gets over 21 first loses?"
"Yes." Tsunade nodded and continued, "How many times have you played it?"
"Two or three times, I guess," Uchiha Ike said uncertainly.
He had only played it twice in his previous life, during company team building activities.
I'm a complete newbie who's only played two or three times.
Tsunade immediately felt relieved.
She's a veteran player who's already paid ten million taels of silver in tuition for this gameplay!
Teaching this brat a lesson would be a piece of cake.
She sat back down abruptly, patted the grass in front of the wooden stake, and gestured for Uchiha Ike to sit down as well.
"According to this game, participants need chips, which is money, but this is not a casino, so there are no chips."
She paused, her tone turning strange: "And I don't have any money on me..."
The money she swindled from Hiruzen Sarutobi a few days ago was all lost to her yesterday.
"But we have alcohol," Uchiha Ike reminded him. "I've read about the loser drinking in novels."
"That's right, we have alcohol." Tsunade nodded, finding it reasonable, but then realized something was off, staring blankly and saying, "But you can't drink alcohol."
Seeing Tsunade's already flushed face, Uchiha Ike knew that all he needed to do was add fuel to the fire, and Tsunade would agree to the bet.
"Lady Tsunade," Uchiha Ike chuckled, pointing to himself, "You beat me, so why don't you just refuse to let me drink? You can name your terms. Or perhaps, you're not confident...?"
"Enough with the nonsense." Tsunade glared at Uchiha Ike with her almond-shaped eyes. "You think I'm afraid of you?"
As she spoke, she lifted her buttocks off the chair, leaned forward, and reached out to ruffle Uchiha Ike's hair.
Uchiha Ike's gaze narrowed slightly.
Who are you? How dare you touch my head?
but......
Seeing the sinister aura about to burst forth before him, Uchiha Ike silently shut his mouth.
The saying goes that a great man doesn't hold grudges against a petty person; Uchiha Ike's magnanimity is no less than Tsunade's.
"You brat, where are you looking?"
Tsunade's displeased voice rang out, and Uchiha Ike immediately sat up straight, his face full of determination, and pointed to Tsunade's chest: "Lady Tsunade, your button is off."
Upon hearing this, Tsunade looked down and discovered that the top button of her vest was missing, and the soft fabric underneath seemed ready to burst out at any moment.
She was slightly taken aback: "It really is! When did it fall...?"
Looking at Uchiha Ike again, he still kept his eyes straight ahead, as if he wouldn't look at anything improper, which Tsunade couldn't help but find amusing.
"That's enough." She waved her hand. "You and I don't need to be so petty with each other."
Uchiha Ike's expression remained firm: "Lady Tsunade, if I said I ate a bowl of ramen, then I really only ate a bowl of ramen."
"Where did you get all these strange metaphors from..." Tsunade muttered under her breath.
Although it was the first time she had heard it, she still understood what Uchiha Ike meant: he, Uchiha Ike, had not peeked.
Uchiha Ike said in a serious tone, "I read it in a book. I love reading the most."
Tsunade pouted. She hated reading, especially books containing medical knowledge, which were thicker than bricks.
So after she became an authority in the field of medicine, she even took the time to write a thicker book on practical internal medicine in the ninja world.
The kind that's divided into two volumes.
Watching the students' trembling fingers as they hold the books is one of life's greatest pleasures.
Recalling those past events, Tsunade's lips curled up slightly, and she no longer cared whether Uchiha Ike had actually spied on her back then.
"Okay, okay, I know you haven't watched it."
She grabbed the playing cards, a barely concealed, and rather, undisguised, excitement spreading across her face: "Let's begin!"
Half an hour later.
It had already gotten dark.
"Lady Tsunade, shouldn't we stop...?"
A slightly helpless voice echoed from the woods.
In response, a furious female voice rang out.
"Stop what? Did I tell you to stop? Keep going!"
