Cut funding?

It’s just empty threats.

You see, in the eyes of others, the Land of Fire is a big piece of fat. If Konoha didn’t have enough military power to deter others, this big piece of fat would have been devoured long ago.

As long as the Daimyo isn’t foolish, they wouldn’t do such a stupid thing.

At most, it’s pressure, turmoil, just to make Konoha bow down first.

If they really push Konoha too far, it’s not good for the Daimyo either.

“Phew~~~”

With a sound of sipping water, Tsunade leaned on the table. In less than twenty seconds, faint snoring could be heard.

Jiraiya: “…”

If he didn’t know Tsunade’s personality so well, Jiraiya might have doubted whether she was pretending to sleep.

In fact, Tsunade really fell asleep, not pretending.

Drinking too much, she leaned against the table in a daze, completely unconscious.

“Alright, let’s take it slow.”

Sighing, Jiraiya could only let Shizune carry Tsunade and find a place to rest.

Trying to persuade Tsunade on this matter couldn’t be rushed.

Despite saying to take it easy, Jiraiya was anxious the next day when he faced Tsunade, who was suffering from a splitting headache and looked completely disheartened, slumped on the table due to a hangover.

It wasn’t because he was worried about Tsunade’s health but because she was reminded of some unhappy past by yesterday’s conversation.

Yesterday, even though Tsunade was drunk, she at least gave him a chance to talk.

But today, Tsunade, filled with a terrible low mood, not only made no progress, but Jiraiya himself ended up becoming a walking wallet!!!

“You see, people trapped by emotions are like this, cherish both affection and love.”

To Kazuki, this inexplicable statement from Itachi is somewhat incomprehensible.

At this point, he couldn’t possibly understand Tsunade’s pain.

Because the people he cared about were still living well.

The only things he could worry about were his family and village.

After enduring time after time, Jiraiya eventually exploded.

“Tsunade, we can’t go on like this anymore. The village needs you, and the time left for us is running out.”

Rarely did Jiraiya show some toughness in front of Tsunade.

He clapped his hands on the table, bent over, and stared down at Tsunade, hoping she would wake up a little and stop living drunk every day.

Not only getting drunk every day, but also thinking about the unhappy things from the past when drunk, endlessly looping, pushing herself towards a dead end.

“What’s wrong with me?”

With slightly narrowed eyes, Tsunade, holding a bottle of wine in her hand, tilted her head back.

Originally, the low pressure that enveloped only Tsunade suddenly enveloped Jiraiya.

Fuck!

Faced with Tsunade’s sharp eyes, Jiraiya subconsciously shrunk his neck. The strong attitude he had just created collapsed instantly.

It made Shizune, Kazuki, and Itachi, who were sitting on the side, all wide-eyed.

After a few days of getting along, Kazuki and Shizune gradually became familiar, but Itachi’s relationship with Shizune still remained that of a senior and junior.

Although Itachi tried very hard to change himself, he occasionally showed a stiff smile.

“Oh! It seems that Master Jiraiya is going to fail again.”

Shizune couldn’t help covering her face, feeling embarrassed. It’s so embarrassing. I thought you could be tough, but in the end… this?

“I’d rather believe the sun rises from the west.”

Kazuki calmly ate his meal. Although it was unexpected, as long as Jiraiya’s beloved person is still Tsunade, he will not be able to assert himself in front of Tsunade.

Eating, eating, it’s not his own task anyway, it doesn’t matter if he succeeds or not.

It’s more important to fill your stomach first.

Most importantly, this is public spending, all expenses are covered by the most handsome toad sage, Jiraiya.

At least he thinks he’s the most handsome.

My self-esteem has always been very good.

Shaking his head, Kazuki chose to continue eating.

Itachi nodded deeply in agreement, fully agreeing with Kazuki’s words.

It’s better to pay attention to whether Jiraiya can be tough or not, it’s more important to fill your stomach first, so that Tsunade doesn’t have the mind to eat.

“You little brat, do you have a problem with me?”

Jiraiya retreated, and Tsunade, who was not happy in her heart, just happened to hear Kazuki’s sentence, “I’d rather believe the sun rises from the west,” and suddenly glared at Kazuki.

’???, I’m just eating rice, why did the war fire come to me?’

It must be admitted that her luck was quite good, just when Tsunade needed someone to agree and support her.

Kazuki looked at Jiraiya the same way, raised his eyebrows and said,

“No, if I had experienced the ordeal of the predecessors, I think I would spend my whole life wandering outside, never going back to Konoha.”

“Ha!”

Tsunade couldn’t help laughing.

Is this blaming me or pitying me?

You kid really dare to say that, Jiraiya slapped his forehead, slowly leaning towards Kazuki without leaving a trace.

If Tsunade suddenly makes a move against Kazuki, he could pull a bit, otherwise the two would start fighting as soon as they spoke, which would be a lot of fun.

After drinking all the remaining wine in one breath, Tsunade put the wine bottle aside and turned to Kazuki, raising her hand and lightly beckoning with her index finger.

“Although I have had a miserable experience, I have not fallen to the point where I need a little brat to pity me. If you’re not convinced, you can try to persuade me. As long as you can persuade me, I won’t guarantee anything else, but I will personally solve the issues between the Uchiha and the village.”

Saying this, Tsunade glanced at Jiraiya with disdain. It’s embarrassing, even this little promise can’t be made, I really regret it.

Why am I suddenly in trouble?

Is there such a good thing?

Kazuki was surprised. Tsunade actually gave him such a promise, it seems that Jiraiya has revealed some of his great achievements.

In the eyes of outsiders, Uchiha Kazuki is just a person who works hard for his family.

In fact, everything he did was for himself, and his family came second.

If it weren’t for the dangerous situation of the Uchiha, which could capsize at any moment, Kazuki wouldn’t bother with the family’s troubles.

These outsiders don’t know that, so in the eyes of others, Kazuki is a person who is loyal to his family and works hard for his family.

“Click!”

Itachi’s pupils slightly contracted, and the chopsticks in his hand broke.

Tsunade’s words gave him quite an impact.

Seeking peace between family and village, this is what Itachi has always hoped for.

Now, someone has given this hope.

Unconsciously, Itachi turned his head.

He was eager to know if Kazuki would join the army to persuade Tsunade.

A promising promise, but unfortunately it’s useless.
