Kushina bit her red lips and tentatively asked, "Tsunade, is your secret technique for eternal youth real?"
"Of course!"
Speaking of her proud secret technique, the drunk Tsunade became even more eloquent. She claimed that maintaining youth was just the most basic ability. After activating the Yin Seal, she could perform the Hundred Strength technique, recovering from any injury. Even if her body was cut in half, it could heal as long as it was reassembled!
Tsunade pointed to the diamond-shaped mark on her forehead and said, "See? This is the mark of successful Yin Seal cultivation. With this, maintaining youth is just a routine operation!"
Kushina and Mikoto looked at the blue diamond mark with envy and immediately asked, "How do I cultivate it?"
Tsunade looked around as if searching for more alcohol, "As long as you perform my self-created secret technique and store your usual chakra in your head!"
Although Tsunade said it so casually, Mikoto and Kushina knew that S-rank ninjutsu was not easy to cultivate, and most people couldn't even pass the threshold.
But the temptation of eternal youth was too great. Kushina anxiously asked, "What is the cultivation method? Tsunade, do you have the cultivation scroll with you?"
"Kushina!"
Mikoto pulled Kushina, signaling her not to be so hasty, to take it one step at a time. Did she understand the concept of "boiling a frog in warm water"?
What a terrible teammate!
Kushina came to her senses and stuck out her tongue. There was nothing she could do. She was too curious about Tsunade's secret technique, and combined with the lingering effects of the alcohol, her words were a bit thoughtless.
But Tsunade, with a drunken air, said indifferently, "Of course I brought it!"
This time, even Mikoto couldn't resist. She leaned forward with Kushina and eagerly asked, "Where is it?!"
Tsunade's beautiful eyes glanced at their flushed faces and she chuckled, "Do you want to see?"
"Yes!"
Tsunade extended her delicate finger as if to take out the scroll. Kushina and Mikoto's gazes followed Tsunade's hand, from her waist to her chest, then to her shoulder...
Finally, Tsunade tapped her forehead and teased, "It's right here. Come and get it if you want to see it! Hahaha!"
Damn it!
Kushina and Mikoto now knew that Tsunade wasn't completely drunk at all. They had been played like fools by Tsunade!
Indeed, women are still the spicier ones when they are older!
Mikoto sighed and said softly, "I knew doing this would have no good outcome."
"Fortunately, we didn't succeed, or I would feel guilty. Mikoto thanks you, Sister Tsunade."
Kushina, mimicking Mikoto, lowered her head and said weakly, "It was my idea. If you're going to blame anyone, blame me."
Tsunade looked at the two of them in surprise. She didn't expect them to admit their mistakes so readily, which made her feel a bit embarrassed. How could she get drunk by two little girls with her tolerance?
She had guessed Kushina and the others' little scheme early on and just wanted to see what tricks they would use. Although she had been taken advantage of by that brat Lin Yu on the way back, she could still accept it.
But now that these two admitted their mistakes so quickly, Tsunade almost felt like a villain. She could only say, "Actually, for those who create ninjutsu, it is a joyous occasion when their techniques are inherited by many. Who wouldn't want their ninjutsu to be passed down for generations!"
"If you want to learn, I can teach you, but..."
"Yay!"
Before Tsunade could finish, she saw the two beautiful girls clap their hands in joy, their faces showing no trace of the regret and apology from before!
These two brats dared to trick her!
Kushina looked at Tsunade triumphantly and said, "You can't go back on your word. You are Tsunade, one of the Sannin!"
Mikoto giggled beside her, feeling a pang of guilt: She had also learned to be mischievous!
"Hmph!"
Tsunade snorted and said, "Who says I can't go back on my word! I don't care about the title of Sannin, it's a disgrace to me, Tsunade!"
What was there to be proud of about a title given by Hanzō Salamander, who was instantly defeated by a black-robed man? If it were a title bestowed by the black-robed man, she, Tsunade, could barely accept it!
Lin Yu, who was soaking in the hot spring, sneezed and thought: I hope I didn't catch a cold just by soaking in the hot spring! Forget it, no one else is here anyway. Let's see how long I can hold my breath!
Gurgling sounds, and the hot spring pool was empty, with only white mist swirling.
In the room, Kushina and Mikoto were still arguing with Tsunade. Tsunade twisted her sticky clothes and frowned, "I smell of alcohol. I'm going to take a bath, I won't argue with you anymore!"
"I'm going too!"
Kushina wouldn't let Tsunade escape. She grabbed a nearby bathrobe and followed Tsunade closely, determined not to let her youth-preserving secret technique slip away!
Mikoto glanced at the sign for the hot spring beside them and said softly, "It seems this suite has a private hot spring. It's perfect for sobering up."
"Hmph! I didn't realize someone was so generous!"
Tsunade naturally noticed the luxury of the suite. Not to mention anything else, the bed they had just lain on could accommodate four people somersaulting on it. What a "big bed"!
Tsunade poked the flushed Kurenai Yuhi with her finger and said, "What about this little girl?"
The three of them had faked their drunkenness, but the little loli Kurenai Yuhi was truly drunk. She had downed two bottles of alcohol like it was juice, faster than drinking a beverage!
"Let's ask the attendant to send some hangover soup later. Tsunade, how could you let Kurenai drink?"
"Tch! Then why didn't you stop her at the time!"
"I..."
The three beautiful women pulled open the sliding door, wrapped in snow-white bathrobes, and walked to the hot spring with their fair and delicate feet. After splashing the water a few times, Kushina said, "The mist from this hot spring is really thick. Is there a problem?"
"What a rare sight, this is called medicinal bathing, good for nourishment and beauty!" Tsunade directly took off her bathrobe and stepped into the hot spring, completely unfazed.
With Tsunade's medical knowledge, she could immediately smell a lot of medicinal scents, many of which were precious herbs. It seemed that brat Lin Yu had really splurged!
"Hmph!"
I haven't gotten my secret technique yet, so let this old woman be arrogant for a while longer!
Kushina's delicate jade foot tapped the water, then she took off her bathrobe and slipped into the water like a mermaid, exclaiming, "Hiss! It feels so good, Mikoto, you should come down too!"
"Okay."
Mikoto replied and followed Tsunade and Kushina into the water.
"Wow! Mikoto, your skin is so fair!"
"Kushina's is also very fair, and it's so tender and pink, I'm so envious!"
"Tch, you two little girls!"
Kushina looked at Tsunade suspiciously and asked, "Tsunade, why are you covering your chest?"
"..."
Tsunade: I'm afraid I'll float up, okay?
"I'm afraid you'll get a nosebleed if you see it!"
"Tch! What's so great about it? Mine isn't bad either!"
...
Lin Yu, submerged beneath the hot spring, stared dumbfounded at the three "mermaids" above. He didn't know who would get a nosebleed, but he knew he was about to get one!
This truly proved the saying!
Life ah~ is so unpredictable! Only heaven knows what will happen in the next moment...
