At that very moment, an extremely interesting chemical reaction was taking place inside Shingetsu's body.
Previously, the Uchiha cells in her body had constantly screamed, "Eat something sweet!" while the Senju cells had little to say. But now, the long-silent Senju cells suddenly let out a resounding cry:
"Drink!"
After a moment of bewilderment, the Uchiha cells immediately protested, clamoring for sweets again. The Senju cells thought for a brief moment and said:
"Then drink sweet wine!"
Wouldn't that let them have both alcohol and something sweet?
And so, the two kinds of cells instantly reached a consensus and began chanting in unison:
"Drink sweet wine! Drink sweet wine!"
Completely consumed by the idea of drinking, Shingetsu licked her lips, craving more. She clutched the flask with its enticing aroma, desperately wanting another cup.
But just as she was about to pour-
With a whoosh, a chopstick shot toward her from across the table like an arrow loosed from a bow, moving so fast it left an afterimage. It pierced straight through the middle of her cup, and the clear wine streamed down the chopstick until it had all spilled onto the table.

Shingetsu stared wide-eyed in horror at the shattered cup in her hand, her arm trembling slightly.
A little closer, and that chopstick would have pierced her hand too!
"No. More. Drinking!"
Madara Uchiha roared like a lion, his furious bellows echoing throughout the restaurant.
The bustling restaurant instantly fell silent. Even the air seemed to freeze, making it hard to breathe.
Hashirama, who had been pouring wine for little Tsunade, gave a frightened shudder. He hurriedly put the flask away and pretended nothing had happened.
After that, every customer except Madara finished their meal in fear and trembling. Quite a few paid up and left immediately,
