Living in Konoha: Three Choices at the Start

Liuyun finally understood what it meant to look but not touch.

It was fucking torture!

"I-it's just that I lost all my money at the casino! Could you lend me some?"

Tsunade's cheeks flushed as she stumbled over the words.

Liuyun glanced at the enormous breasts in front of him and rolled his eyes. So you do know how to feel embarrassed!

All her brains really did go to one place!

"Where would I get money? I'm still a kid!"

"No! I mean, you're so good at gambling. You could go win some, then lend it to me!"

Tsunade hurried to lay out the plan she had prepared.

"You don't even blush saying that? You're teaching a child to gamble."

"So are you going or not?"

Tsunade held Liuyun's shoulders tight and stared straight at him.

So seduction failed, and now she's threatening me? You've outdone yourself, you big sucker!

Just as Liuyun was about to refuse outright, the system's options appeared in his mind.

"Host has encountered a difficult choice. Please choose.

1. Agree to Tsunade's request and make her give up her first kiss! Reward: Chakra increases by 30%.

2. Refuse Tsunade. Reward: Tsunade's affection decreases by 10%.

3. Pretend to agree, then run off halfway. Be a good child! Reward: physique increases by 10%!"

System! Do I even have a choice? Liuyun roared inwardly.

"Fine, I'll do it! Now let go!" Liuyun said helplessly.

"Not bad, kid! I knew I was right about you!"

Tsunade released his shoulders and nodded approvingly.

"Hold the praise! I haven't told you my condition yet!"

"Say it! If I can do it, I will!"

"Kiss me!"

"Fine!" Tsunade agreed at once. She had already kissed the brat several times, after all.

"Then shall we go?"

She grabbed Liuyun and turned, a fierce fire burning in her eyes.

(Anyone who sends flowers gets taken care of by Airi tonight. Anyone who sends rating votes gets taken care of by Tsunade! Send both, and they'll both take care of you!)

Stealing Tsunade's First Kiss! (Part 1)

"That's not what I meant!" Liuyun shook his head and pointed at his lips. "I meant here!"

"Don't push your luck, brat!"

Tsunade frowned, embarrassed and annoyed. The little bastard wanted to steal her first kiss.

"Heh. I've stated my condition. If you won't agree, that's not my fault."

Liuyun deliberately gave her a helpless smile.

"Kid! Isn't there another option?"

"No." Liuyun shook his head and shrugged. "Honestly, I don't even want to gamble."

Tsunade gritted her teeth. She wanted to give the lecherous brat a beating.

"Brat! You have to guarantee a win, and it can't be less than one million ryō!"

"No problem!"

Liuyun wasn't much of a gambler, but he had Tsunade, the ultimate sucker, right there.

All he had to do was bet against whatever she chose.

"Money first, kiss afterward!"

"Fine!"

Liuyun looked unconcerned. With all her brains lodged in her chest, she would never escape his grasp.

A casino was a profitable business in any era.

Liuyun and Tsunade disguised themselves and went to Konoha's Largest Casino.

The casino belonged to the Senju Clan.

Winning her own family's money with him—what was going through Tsunade's head? Couldn't she just ask them for it?

An hour later, they emerged wearing delighted smiles.

They found a secluded corner and began dividing the spoils.

"Hurry! Hurry! Let me see how much we won!"

Tsunade's eyes gleamed as she rubbed her hands together, unable to wait.

"What's the rush? You have no self-control!"

After that jab, Liuyun pulled stacks of banknotes from his pockets.

The denominations varied. The smallest note was worth a thousand ryō, and most were worth ten thousand.

Tsunade snatched them and began counting with practiced ease.

As she counted, she let out a giddy, lecherous laugh.

"We're rich! We're rich!"

A moment later, Tsunade clapped Liuyun on the shoulder, giving him her wholehearted approval.

"Not bad, kid! We won four million ryō on our first try! No wonder you're the man who always beats me!"

I'd like to be your man in that sense, Liuyun thought, but his current body made him want to cry.

"Enough of that! What about the condition you promised?"

If he couldn't get the full meal, Liuyun was determined to have a taste.

"Relax! I'm a woman of my word!"

Tsunade bent slightly and brushed her lips against Liuyun's before pulling away.

Before Liuyun could even register what had happened, it was over!

All he felt was a moment of softness against his lips!

That wasn't what I wanted! What about those long, lingering kisses they show on TV?

This is exhausting! Liuyun had spent an hour on this and gotten nothing. His spirits sank.

Seeing his dejected face, Tsunade looked smug.

You want to get the better of me, kid? Maybe in your next life!

"How about this, brat? Give up your share, and I'll kiss you again."

Tsunade's eyes gleamed with mischief.

Before Liuyun could speak, she leaned down again, bringing her sweet scent with her.

His lips felt a soft touch, and then her face was already pulling away.

"There! We're even. I'm off!"

She waved and walked away without a backward glance, like a seasoned regular leaving a pleasure house.

Liuyun stared speechlessly at the sky. Of all people, he had to meet a shameless old rogue like her!

How does that saying go? When you're in trouble, a brother will lend you a hand. A woman will give your brother a hand!

I sure picked the wrong person!

With a sigh, Liuyun disappeared into the night, looking forlorn.

By the time he got home, Uchiha Mikoto had returned to her room.

Hearing movement outside, Mikoto hurried out.

Confusion showed on her face. "You're back, Liuyun! Why so late?"

"Ugh. I ran into that crazy woman Tsunade. She insisted on gambling with me!"

"I knew it!" Mikoto laughed softly.

"I've heated water for your bath. Get washed up and rest. We have to get up early tomorrow!"

"Okay!"

My little wife is so thoughtful!

Not like that crazy Tsunade! Once I'm older, I'll make sure you learn what it means to lend a helping hand.

An hour later, Liuyun finished washing and went straight to Mikoto's room.

It had become such a habit that Liuyun no longer bothered to hide it.

When he embraced Mikoto, she trembled, her soft body growing warm.

Liuyun sighed again. Fucking useless system. Other people get miracle drugs that make them grow taller in no time.

Why don't you have anything like that? Do you know how miserable I am?

Late that night, the Hokage Building was brightly lit.

Hiruzen Sarutobi smoked his pipe as he studied the map before him, his face heavy with worry.

"The Land of Wind is massing troops at the border. The newly appointed Third Kazekage is preparing for a major campaign."

"And Hanzō, the leader of the Land of Rain, is ambitious. He wants to expand his territory."

According to the latest intelligence, Hanzō had begun gathering the country's ninja and was preparing to declare war on the Land of Iron.

Iwagakure and Kumogakure were restless too. Hiruzen Sarutobi's brow knotted at the thought of it all.

He took a long drag from his pipe and murmured with a sigh.

"Ah. It looks like the Second Shinobi World War will begin before long!"

"Sakumo can't hold the border alone anymore. We need to send reinforcements!"

"Hiruzen! I heard another genius has emerged from the Uchiha Clan. Give him to me!"

Danzo pushed the door open and spoke without ceremony.

"Impossible! I've already decided to have Liuyun study under Tsunade!"

Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head without a moment's hesitation.

"Hmph! Hiruzen, you know exactly what the Uchiha Clan is like. You're being far too naive!"

"Send him to Root instead! Give me a few years, and I guarantee he'll obey every order!"

Danzo frowned, his gaze dark.

"Impossible! I've already told Tsunade to take Liuyun as her student!" Hiruzen Sarutobi shook his head again.

Mikoto's Seven-Day Outfit! (Part 2)

"You'll pay for your indecision! Have you forgotten what Teacher said before he died?"

"The Uchiha Clan is a clan of evil!"

Danzo argued fiercely. This was a prodigy who had defeated Minato Namikaze in a single move.
