The Joy of Having a Little Rich Girl Force-Feed You-Who Gets It?

Jingyi laughed. "Of course not. Your friend is my friend. Why would I get angry at your friend? By the way, why were you worried I'd be angry at this girl named Mie?"

Jingyi found it strange. He did not know any child named Mie, much less a little girl.

"You'll find out tomorrow." Kushina still tried to keep it under wraps.

Jingyi smiled, rubbed her head of red hair, and placed several pieces of meat into her bowl.

"Eat up. You're still growing. You need to eat more meat if you want to grow taller."

After eating and drinking their fill, Jingyi paid the bill, and the four of them left together.

"This..."

When they reached the entrance to his home, Jingyi froze.

Where was my house?

This was the right location.

Did I come to the wrong place?

"Hehe."

Kushina, lying on Jingyi's back, tilted her head and giggled. "Jingyi, aren't I amazing? After you went to the border camp, I hired people to tear down the house and rebuild it. It has three floors and lots of rooms. I'll be living here from now on."

Why had she not told him about this?

Jingyi turned and looked at Tsunade in confusion. Tsunade jealously pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard, saying sourly:

"The little brat wouldn't let me tell you. She wanted to give you a surprise. I've been taking care of her all this time, yet she wouldn't even lend me two hundred thousand ryo. Then she turned around and built you a house!"

"As her big sister Tsunade~, I'm practically an outsider."

Nawaki looked like he wanted to say something but did not dare. He could only hold it in.

But Kushina was different. Even if she said something hurtful, Tsunade would not hit her.

"Of course I couldn't lend it to you."

Kushina wrinkled her little nose, lifted her chin, and said seriously:

"Grandma Mito said I'm not allowed to lend you money, and I'm not allowed to give you any either. Otherwise, it'll never come back."

Tsunade: "..."

What an ungrateful little brat.

"Hahahaha!" Jingyi burst out laughing.

Tsunade was so angry she wanted to kick him twice. And he was still laughing!

To be fair, having a little rich girl to cling to really was wonderful.

The question was, did this mean Jingyi Hyuga was living off a woman?

It seemed more like the little rich girl had forcibly stuffed it into his mouth.

After opening the door, Jingyi took a look at the interior decoration. Well, there was no need to wonder—it was absolutely top-tier!

This house had cost a fortune. No wonder Tsunade was jealous. Anyone would have had a hard time accepting this.

After looking over the house and its furnishings,

Jingyi asked, "Have you all been living here lately?"

Tsunade sprawled directly onto the sofa, looking utterly lifeless, and waved a hand.

"Kushina didn't want to go back, and Nawaki said that staying at home always reminded him of Grandma. Besides, the ancestral residence had not been renovated in far too long. Once this house was finished, we simply moved in together."

After Mito Uzumaki passed away, the Senju ancestral residence had become completely lifeless. Not only Kushina and Nawaki, but even Tsunade did not want to live there anymore.

It would only make them dwell on painful memories.

Having two little ones crying miserably every day was already enough. She needed to appear strong, but no matter how strong she acted, she would still be sad.

So Tsunade brought the two children here.

"This is great. Thank you, Kushina. I really like it."

Jingyi pinched Kushina's little cheek and told her:

"If you're sleepy, go take a nap first. I'll make you something delicious later."

Ever since they left the barbecue restaurant, Kushina had been lying on Jingyi's back and yawning nonstop.

By now, she was exhausted.

Nawaki's eyes darted around as he tried to sneak out to play. Before he reached the door, however, he noticed his sister standing there with her arms crossed, staring at him expressionlessly.

So he walked upstairs with a miserable expression.

Why did he have to go to sleep too just because Kushina was sleepy?

That wasn't fair!

Unfortunately, Nawaki did not dare argue with the domineering Tsunade. He could only obediently return to his room.

"Did that kid do something wrong?"

Tsunade was not usually so strict with her younger brother Nawaki. Most of the time, she spoiled him.

If she would not even let him go out to play, he must have done something outrageous and angered Tsunade.

"It was all that bastard Jiraiya's fault!!"

Tsunade gritted her teeth and cursed, "That asshole came back and immediately started dragging Nawaki everywhere. More than ten days ago, they even went to the women's bathhouse. Those two perverts fell from the roof and nearly scared several girls in the bathhouse to death."

"It even made its way to the Hokage Office. Tell me, should I be angry or not?"

"..."

Damn, that was intense.

It seemed Nawaki had learned quite a lot after Jiraiya returned to the village. No wonder Tsunade had forbidden him from going out. After causing that much trouble, who would dare let him out?

You're only nine years old!

Don't act like some filthy old pervert.

Her younger brother was fooling around, leaving Tsunade both angry and helpless as his sister.

"A few days ago, the old man asked me what I planned to do about Nawaki, but I haven't replied yet."

Not every child who graduated from the Ninja Academy would be assigned to a ninja squad, find a teacher, carry out missions, and grow step by step.

It depended on the person. Nawaki did not need to follow that path. Tsunade could easily find a teacher to guide him alone.

Originally, Tsunade had considered Orochimaru. As long as she asked, Orochimaru certainly would not refuse.

But after discussing it with Jingyi, Jiraiya was added to the equation.

And look what happened. Before they had even become master and disciple, they were already running around and causing trouble together.

Tsunade's blood pressure shot through the roof. She wanted nothing more than to crush those two bastards to death.

"Do you really think highly of Jiraiya?"

If Tsunade had to choose, she would definitely pick Orochimaru instead of Jiraiya.

"How should I put it?"

Thinking about Jiraiya's behavior, Jingyi could not help laughing wryly. "Jiraiya may be lecherous and has done plenty of disgusting things that make people angry, but I trust his ability to teach and guide disciples. More importantly, his personality is very similar to Nawaki's."

"If Nawaki follows Jiraiya, perhaps he might one day earn the favor of Mount Myoboku."

Naruto was basically a weaker version of Nawaki. If Naruto could gain Mount Myoboku's recognition, there was no reason Nawaki could not.

If he could learn some Senjutsu, his strength would definitely soar.

"Let me think about it. I need to think first."

The more Tsunade thought about it, the more conflicted she became.

Though she was unwilling to admit it, she had to face reality. Jiraiya really was the type to keep growing step by step, with his upper limit constantly rising.

Damn it!

Couldn't that bastard be a little more proper?

You could be lecherous, but did you have to drag a child along to peep and mess around?

The more she thought about it, the more irritated Tsunade became. She slapped her forehead hard and let out a long breath.

"What about you? Do you need to sign a leadership contract with Katsuyu? I brought the scroll with me."

"Summoned beasts would not be much help to me, and I don't want to become a purely medical ninja."

Jingyi shook his head.

He had never considered signing a summoned beast contract.

If he could get it for free, perhaps he could give it a try. He just did not know how difficult Shikkotsu Forest's Senjutsu was to learn, or how dangerous it might be.

"You didn't ask the Great Slug to teach you Senjutsu?"

"Um... cough, cough."

Tsunade suddenly looked a little embarrassed.

"The Slug Sage said my talent wasn't enough. I could still learn it if I wanted to, but it would be dangerous, so I gave up."

Not talented enough?

Are you sure?

Why did it seem like she was feeling guilty?
