Two minutes later.
"You mean Lady Tsunade drank too much and then fell asleep?"
Yūhi Kurenai could not help raising her voice.
As for Tsunade, sprawled over a wooden stump with her back rising and falling softly—
Kakashi's dead-fish gaze gradually froze.
"Keep it down." Facing their differing expressions, Uchiha Chi did not explain immediately. Instead, he frowned and reminded them quietly, "Lady Tsunade is asleep."
As he spoke, he picked up the green robe emblazoned with the character for "gamble" from the ground and gently draped it over Tsunade.
Yūhi Kurenai and Kakashi exchanged a glance, finding the situation even stranger.
Just two hours ago, while they had been agonizing over how to snatch the bells, Uchiha Chi suddenly said he had a new idea.
But Uchiha Chi refused to reveal what it was. He only told them there were deeper waters involved and not to ask too many questions.
In short, he had a way to lower Tsunade's guard and get them away from this area so they could prepare for battle before moonrise.
Though they had been thoroughly confused after hearing him out, given Uchiha Chi's earlier analytical ability, the two still left the area and made full preparations for the coming battle.
Kakashi swallowed three soldier pills in a row, bringing his body into peak condition.
Yūhi Kurenai went home and brought back a sealing scroll containing her tools, allowing her to cast genjutsu that blended illusion and reality at any time.
And the result was...
Uchiha Chi had gotten Lady Tsunade drunk?
That was an option?
Was stealing the bells really this easy?
"Did you bring it?"
At that moment, Uchiha Chi spoke as he looked at the two of them.
A trace of confusion flashed through Kakashi's eyes as he asked quietly, "Bring what?"
