Gambling with Tsunade

Uchiha Kurohane looked at Uzumaki Mito's broad, all-embracing bosom and felt that her title as Sea Shadow was truly well deserved.

It was decided. You were the Sea Shadow!

Knowing that Uchiha Kurohane was interested in Water Release, Kushina Uzumaki immediately said she wanted to learn it.

Seeing Kushina Uzumaki so motivated, Uzumaki Mito nodded with a smile.

"Alright, I'll teach you after we eat."

She then looked at Uchiha Kurohane.

"You have Water Release chakra too. Do you want to learn Water Release as well?"

Before Uchiha Kurohane could answer, Kushina Uzumaki spoke first.

"Grandma will teach me first, then I'll teach him."

Kushina Uzumaki still had not forgotten her dream of becoming Uchiha Kurohane's teacher.

Uchiha Kurohane was very dissatisfied with that. Right in front of Uzumaki Mito and Tsunade, he openly tugged on her cheek.

"You haven't even learned it yourself, and you want to teach me?"

"Did you forget that I have the Sharingan? I'll learn it after watching it a few times."

"Ah~ That hurts! You're going to pull my face crooked..."

Kushina Uzumaki rubbed her cheek aggrievedly and looked at Uzumaki Mito, hoping she would say a few words on her behalf.

However, seeing Uchiha Kurohane teasing Kushina Uzumaki, Uzumaki Mito felt a deep sense of longing.

As the princess of the Village Hidden in the Whirlpools, Uzumaki Mito had been protected by the Uzumaki Clan since childhood. Her childhood had been very lonely as well.

Without playmates of the opposite sex, she instead envied Kushina Uzumaki for having a male friend.

To her, this sort of playful banter was what youth should be.

Tsunade, who sat beside Uzumaki Mito, was utterly baffled.

She could not understand why Uchiha Kurohane was so bold that he dared to play with Kushina Uzumaki's face right in
