"Tsunade-sama, did you get the money?"
"Got it, let's go."
Tsunade walked out of the office building next to the Uchiha Supermarket with a box of money, followed by Shizune. However, they both used the Transformation Jutsu, only revealing their true forms when getting the money in front of Uchiha Mikota.
"Shizune, don't leave something so important at home next time, it's three million in a year!"
Tsunade reprimanded, unreasonably. Actually, she left it at home and didn't take it when she left.
But Shizune wasn't taking the blame and muttered under her breath, "I didn't know about this, wasn't it Tsunade-sama's carelessness..."
The reason they came back was that Tsunade realized she hadn't collected money from Uchiha Yoichi for nearly two years. Without gambling funds, Shizune held onto the money tightly and wouldn't give it to her.
So Tsunade decided to go to the Uchiha Pharmaceutical Factory to get money.
However, it's impossible for the factory to give money to just anyone who comes by, not even to one of the Sannin, Tsunade, unless she presents the contract agreement. Once the contract is shown, money will be given.
But the contract agreement was left at Tsunade's home, and seeing Tsunade wanted to take money from her first, Shizune quickly shook her head. Helplessly, Tsunade had to return to the village to get the contract agreement.
After getting the money from Uchiha Mikota, they planned to leave Konoha Village.
Having collected six million this time, it would last her for a long time, and with luck, she might even win it back.
"Tsunade-sama?"
While Tsunade and Shizune were walking out, they suddenly heard someone calling her from behind, instinctively turning to look, only to see Uchiha Yoichi, Tsunade's face instantly turned confused.
"Tsunade-sama? Where is Tsunade-sama?"
"Using Transformation Jutsu in front of the Uchiha Clan Leader? Do the Senju look down on Sharingan that much?"
Uchiha Yoichi habitually taunted with a smile, but the Strategy Guide in front of him immediately provided remedial measures.
Before Uchiha Yoichi could change his words, Tsunade exasperatedly released the Transformation Jutsu with a 'bang,' shook her fist with a bad mood and said, "Brat, I'm here for the money this time and about to leave, don't make a fuss."
[Use long time no see and gratitude as an excuse to invite for a meal, mainly persuade the person beside the target.]
Seeing the guide, Uchiha Yoichi spoke up, "I guess it's been a long time. Plus, I haven't thanked you for the treatment on the battlefield last time. How about a meal before you go, what do you think, Shizune?"
Tsunade pouted and said, "Why talk to Shizune, let's go outside..."
Before finishing her sentence, Tsunade felt Shizune tugging at her sleeve, "Tsunade-sama, if we hurry now, it will be late night by the time we reach the next town. Let's eat before we go."
Moreover, when passing by earlier, Shizune noticed many new food shops in the village.
Persuaded by Shizune, Tsunade felt a bit hungry and pouted to Uchiha Yoichi, "Okay, but I'll leave after the meal."
Uchiha Yoichi glanced at the guide with a silent smile, "Don't worry, I'm not the Third Generation Hokage, I understand you."
After speaking, Uchiha Yoichi pointed to the Food District and then turned to signal them to follow; though in his mind he thought, in her thirties and still quite aloof, doesn't seem easy to persuade.
"How old are you..."
Tsunade snorted and spoke, then followed along with Shizune.
Upon arriving at the Food District, Uchiha Yoichi introduced several shops, then asked what they wanted to eat, eventually they chose the sushi place.
The sushi here uses expensive ingredients, different from another sushi place in Konoha Village.
Fish roe, premium seafood, and there's even Magic Goat meat sushi.
Once inside, Uchiha Yoichi opted for a private room by the window and ordered some sushi and various sashimi delicacies... Meanwhile, noticing Tsunade's "talking eyes," he ordered a few bottles of sake.
At the mention of sake, Tsunade finally broke into a smile; in her opinion, sushi's soul is sake, otherwise the delicious flavor of sushi couldn't be appreciated.
When the sushi and sashimi were almost completely served, Tsunade poured herself a cup.
But when she picked up the cup to drink, noticing Uchiha Yoichi opposite, it suddenly reminded her of their first meeting, when the brat had become the village's pillar.
"Uchi... Brat, want to have a drink together?"
"Sure, but I shouldn't drink too much."
Uchiha Yoichi said, thus far, his actions had been according to instructions.
After pouring the drink, they toasted and drank, followed by Tsunade tasting the sushi and sashimi, her eyes slightly brightening as she said, "Since when did the village have sushi this good? Much tastier than the other place."
"That's Magic Goat meat, lightly roasted to retain its juices and texture. It's Uchiha's signature meat, many in the Land of Fire are scrambling for it."
Uchiha Yoichi pushed another plate of sashimi over, continuing, "Now Konoha has many areas to improve. Just a Food District and Supermarket have drawn such huge crowds.
One Chunin Exam attracted Daimyos from four countries, in the future, we could hold such events more frequently..."
"Ninja World's entertainment is too limited, the Chunin Exam is like a Beast Fighting Cage, the third round completely serves as a show for the nobles.
If it were me, I'd rather promote ninja activities, then host gaming tournaments, passing them on annually..."
Seeing Uchiha Yoichi confidently speaking about village development, Tsunade couldn't help but chuckle lightly, "Brat, developing a village isn't as simple as you say."
