It seems like it was five years ago when she and Tsunade last returned to the village.

The bedding in the house had been uninhabited for five years, so it was bound to be moldy, and the household items were long unusable.

"What's there to worry about? Just stay at a hotel or buy a new one." Tsunade waved her hand dismissively.

"We don't have any money left..." Shizune lowered her head dejectedly. "We don't even know how we're going to get dinner tonight."

Yesterday, Tsunade borrowed one million yen from Kurenai Yuhi, and gambled it all away in less than half an hour.

She was really embarrassed to ask for money again now.

Tsunade's face showed a rare hint of embarrassment as she looked up at the sky, feigning ignorance, and said, "The wind is quite noisy today."

"If you really have nowhere to go, you can stay at my place. I'll treat you to a meal. Anyway, I live alone and have enough rooms. You can stay as long as you want," Kurenai Yuhi said with a smile.

She didn't lend money as softly as she had yesterday. According to Shizune, Tsunade's gambling debts in various countries add up to at least hundreds of millions.

She certainly wouldn't be able to get her million taels back anytime soon, but Shizune was her old classmate, and Tsunade was the idol of all female ninjas, so she was willing to help with small things like food and lodging.

"Kurenai, you're so kind!" Kato Shizune said, grabbing her arm tightly.

"It smells so good."

As soon as Kato Shizune stopped in front of Qiushui's door, she smelled a faint fragrance wafting from the crack in the door, which went straight to her nose.

"You're in for a treat tonight. I dare say this is the best meal in the ninja world," Kurenai Yuhi said confidently, then took out her key and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, a rich aroma rushed out as if it had broken free from its restraints, many times stronger than what was smelled outside the door.

"This smells amazing." Shizune took a deep breath, a look of pure bliss on her face.

As a medical ninja, Tsunade has a more acute sense of smell than ordinary people, and she also noticed that the aroma of the food was indeed tempting.

However, she has traveled to most parts of the ninja world over the years and tasted all kinds of top-notch delicacies, so she did not lose her composure like Shizune.

When Qiushui, who was cooking, heard the door open, he turned around and immediately spotted the mature and beautiful woman standing between Yuhi Kurenai and Kato Shizune.

She was tall and voluptuous, with long, light golden hair that flowed smoothly over her shoulders. Her features were delicate and three-dimensional, with slightly raised eyebrows, a straight nose, full lips, and a purple diamond-shaped mark on the center of her forehead. She wore a long green coat with the front open, revealing a gray sleeveless top underneath.

The neckline of her top was just right, stretching her full breasts into a breathtaking curve. The fabric clung tightly to the contours of her two ample mounds, trembling slightly with each breath, revealing the deep, white cleavage in the center of the neckline without any attempt to conceal it.

The trousers hugged her two straight and plump legs, the lines from hips to ankles were smooth and tight, without a single extra wrinkle. The trousers tightly hugged her buttocks, which were slightly taut, round and perky, and her whole body exuded a charming aura like a ripe peach.

It has to be said that some people are born to be protagonists.

Qiushui had never seen Tsunade in this world, but her exaggerated yet not at all abrupt figure, especially the white and conspicuous cleavage on her chest, made him recognize her at a glance.

"Hong, who are these two?" Qiu Shui asked after only a slight pause.

"This is Lady Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin, and this is my classmate, Shizune Kato. They just returned to the village today, and I invited them here for dinner," Kurenai Yuhi introduced.

She didn't mention that Tsunade and Shizune came here because they were broke, after all, she still had to save face for them.

"I've long admired your name, Lady Tsunade." Shusui bowed slightly, her posture respectful yet not subservient. "And Shizune-senpai, welcome."

Tsunade looked Shusui up and down and said approvingly, "He is indeed quite handsome."

"Kurenai, I didn't expect you to come back today, nor did I expect Lady Tsunade and Shizune-senpai to come as well," Shusui said. "That's why we didn't buy enough groceries; we've only just finished the first dish. If you're not in a hurry, I'll go out and buy some more now."

"It's alright, we're not in a hurry, you go ahead," Kurenai Yuhi said.

"This is troublesome," said Kato Shizune, bowing slightly.

"It's no trouble at all. Kurenai's friends are my friends. Besides, Lady Tsunade has made so many contributions to the village and has always been a senior I admire. It's just buying groceries and cooking a meal," Qiushui said. "You guys go sit on the sofa and rest for a while. I'll be back soon. If you want drinks or tea, Kurenai can get them for you."

Everyone loves to hear nice words.

Upon hearing this, Tsunade's impression of Shusui improved considerably.

"Remember to buy some alcohol, something with a high alcohol content," Tsunade reminded her.

Shizune felt that Tsunade was taking advantage of her, acting as if she were at home. She looked at Shusui somewhat embarrassedly.

"Okay." Qiushui nodded in agreement and asked Tsunade what kind of alcohol she usually liked to drink and how much she wanted to buy.

After Tsunade finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the sofa, her full and pert buttocks swaying slightly with each step.

Qiu Shui withdrew her gaze, turned around and went out, giving Tsunade and Shizune a quality assessment.

Name: Tsunade

[Chakra Attributes: Earth, Lightning, Yang (Max Level)]

Chakra Amount: 160000 (1000000)

【Kato Shizune】

Chakra Level: 16000

[Ninjutsu: Palm Healing Technique, Yin Healing and Destruction Technique, Minor Ailment Extraction Technique, Chakra Scalpel —]

Quality: A

[Evaluation: A regular Jonin skilled in medical ninjutsu]

Tsunade's chakra reserves truly surprised Shusui.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone's chakra level exceed one million.

Although Tsunade can only use 160,000 under normal circumstances, and the one million in parentheses is obviously the savings accumulated by the Yin Seal over the years, these reserves can be fully released in a real life-or-death battle.

A full million spare chakras is equivalent to having several extra lives.

Qiu Shui felt a pang of envy towards the Yin Sealing Technique.

This thing can not only store chakra, but also keep you young forever.

It's important to understand that no matter how high one's talent or how strong one's bloodline, even for the high and mighty Otsutsuki clan, chakra is not inexhaustible, and the years will still leave their mark on them.

If one could master the Yin Seal, putting aside the possibility of eternal youth, the sheer number of lives one would have in battle would be enough to make others envious.

Unfortunately, this is a forbidden technique developed by Tsunade herself, and it requires specific qualifications and talent to master.

Shizune has been by Tsunade's side for so many years, but she still hasn't learned it despite being influenced by what she sees and hears; looking at the entire ninja world, the only one who has truly mastered it is Sakura.

Shusui felt that his Otsutsuki bloodline should meet the requirements for learning, but his current relationship with Tsunade was nothing more than that of a ball and a fan.

Why would someone teach him their most secret and forbidden technique?

Although she was itching to do it, Qiu Shui didn't have much of a solution at the moment. She could only take it one step at a time and see if there would be an opportunity later.

As the light fell upon Tsunade's evaluation, Shusui's lips twitched slightly.

This assessment is indeed very fitting for her.

Tsunade possesses superhuman strength, and with the Hundred Healings Technique released after the Yin Seal is broken, a single punch can even crack Madara Uchiha's Susanoo.

This level of explosive power is unmatched even by lightning-style techniques that boast high speed and burst damage.

Sakura's later use of the Super Strength Fist, although described in the anime as similar to Tsunade's, is still considered by Shusui to be much stronger than Tsunade's, based on their performances.

As for Shizune's quality and evaluation, they are fairly fair, similar to her performance in the original work. However, Akisui felt that without these medical ninjutsu, her combat strength would only be at the level of a Shizune Chunin.

"Hong, when did you find a man who is so handsome, has such a good personality, and can even cook?" As soon as Qiu Shui stepped out, Kato Shizune couldn't help but ask.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Yuhi Kurenai's face flushed slightly. "Shusui and I aren't in that kind of relationship. We're just ordinary friends. We've only known each other for about two months. I often come to his restaurant because he's a good cook."

She had a very good impression of Qiu Shui; apart from being slightly weaker in strength, he was top-notch in every other aspect.

However, with Qiu Shui's looks, he certainly won't lack girlfriends.

During the two months they spent together, he never showed any intention of taking things further. Even though she had some feelings for him, she, as a woman, didn't feel comfortable taking the initiative to express them.

"If you're not boyfriend and girlfriend, why are you two living together?" Shizune had a look on her face that said, "I saw through everything long ago, don't try to fool me."

"Oh dear, it's not what you think!" Kurenai Yuhi said, both embarrassed and annoyed. She gently pushed Shizune away. "My house is next door, we don't live together. I really only came here because his cooking is so good."

"Then you'd better hurry up, or someone else will get there first and you'll regret it," Shizune reminded her, seeing that she wasn't lying.

She was also a looks-obsessed person. She compared Kakashi and Shusui, who were the most popular students in her class back then, and thought that Shusui was even more handsome than Kakashi.

"Qiu Shui is a teacher at the school now. After class every day, he has to train students. I can only see him when I eat. He simply doesn't have the time." Although Xi Ri Hong was a little flustered, she recalled Qiu Shui's usual routine and felt that it was unlikely that he would do anything else. Moreover, Qiu Shui hadn't been moved by a great beauty like her, so how could he be moved by another woman?

Kurenai Yuhi is quite confident in her looks.
