This trip out of the village had no mission and no clear objective. Lin Yu, accompanied by his three beautiful companions and one little beauty, spent a week leisurely traveling from the Land of Fire to the Land of Hot Water.
This was partly thanks to the war having just ended, so commerce and trade in the Land of Fire hadn't fully recovered. Otherwise, they might not have even left the Land of Fire in a month.
Even though the distance to the Land of Hot Water was the same as the last time he brought Kakashi and the others, Lin Yu felt like the seven-day journey this time was more than ten times longer than before!
Couldn't they just use some chakra to speed things up and get to the Land of Hot Water to soak in a hot spring and then go shopping?
Finally, Lin Yu re-entered a town in the Land of Hot Water. The bustling environment with people coming and going almost brought tears to his eyes.
"Great!"
"I can finally soak in a hot spring and feast my eyes!"
Just as Lin Yu was about to suggest they all go for a hot spring to wash away the fatigue of the journey, Kushina suddenly said, "Lin Yu, you go find us some accommodation first. We'll find a place to eat, and then we'll let you know."
Seeing Kushina wink at her, Mikoto also said softly, "I agree. I'm a bit hungry after traveling all this way."
"I want to eat octopus!" This was the declaration of the little萝莉 Yūhi Kurenai.
"Hmph! Whatever!"
Although Tsunade said this, her eyes constantly scanning the surrounding shops had already betrayed her!
Tsunade definitely wanted to take the opportunity to check where the casinos were!
Four against one, Lin Yu was utterly defeated!
Watching the beautiful backs of the three beauties and the little one walk away hand in hand, Lin Yu had no choice but to grudgingly head to a hot spring inn. With a wave of his hand, he booked a super luxurious suite, one large enough for ten people to sleep in.
Lin Yu said to the receptionist, "Oh, and I'd like the latest independent 'White Mist' hot spring."
The White Mist hot spring was the one Jiraiya had used to spy on Orochimaru last time. It was infused with many beneficial medicinal ingredients, and the steaming mist could relieve fatigue and benefit both body and mind.
"I'm sorry, sir, that's a privilege reserved for our VIP guests. You can pay one million ryo to..."
Before the receptionist could finish, a platinum VIP card was dangled in front of her. Just as she smiled again and reached out to take it, Lin Yu pulled out a handful of VIP cards from his pocket.
"Here! Pick one!"
"..."
The receptionist thought, "Are you here to wholesale?"
...
Lin Yu stepped out of the hot spring inn with satisfaction. He hadn't expected that, thanks to the Land of Hot Water's advantageous geographical location, the hot spring water here was far superior to Konoha's and the effects were top-notch!
Lin Yu located Kushina and the others using Kagura Shingan. However, when he arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, he frowned at the sign. This didn't seem like Kushina's usual taste!
Had Kushina changed her ways today?
Lin Yu entered with doubt. A large sign stood at the entrance: "XXOO Izakaya"!
An izakaya should be more Tsunade's style!
"Lin Yu! Over here, over here! I knew you'd find us!"
Lin Yu looked at Kushina peeking out from a small private room and walked over, sighing, "So you guys weren't planning on notifying me at all!"
"Hmph! Who knew where you'd go to book a room!"
"Exactly, exactly!"
It was Tsunade speaking, and the other two beauties and the little one nodded in agreement. This made Lin Yu dumbfounded. How had they made peace in such a short time?
Had they already joined forces? How was he supposed to defeat them one by one now!
Tsunade poured herself another cup of sake, took a sip, and said, "Also, who knows if you'd book some weird hotel? Let me make it clear, I want a big bed!"
A slight blush was already on Tsunade's delicate and fair face, indicating she had already drunk quite a bit on the way to meet Lin Yu.
"I want a big bed too!"
Yūhi Kurenai looked at the sake on the table, her pink and cute tongue licking her lips. She wanted to try it too!
"Okay, okay! Of course, it'll be a big bed, one big enough for you to somersault back and forth on!"
Lin Yu ruffled Yūhi Kurenai's hair and said to the others, "Why would you choose to eat in a place like this? Although you can eat here, but..."
"Brat! Are you saying my taste is bad!"
Tsunade wanted to step on the table, but Kushina and Mikoto were beside her, and with her alcohol tolerance, one or two bottles were just an appetizer and wouldn't make her act foolishly!
Lin Yu looked disdainfully at Tsunade's front, thinking, "As expected, big chest, no brain. She didn't even consider why Kushina, who always opposed her, would agree to come to an izakaya."
"Fine! I'm definitely not helping you later. I'll just stuff you into a sack and carry you back!"
"Yes, Lin Yu, your thinking is too stubborn. Izakayas are the places for relaxation and enjoyment!"
Mikoto also chimed in with Kushina, "It feels quite nice to come to a place like this once in a while."
"Yes, yes!"
Yūhi Kurenai stared at the sake bottles in front of her and licked her lips again, "Besides, there are many things I haven't tried yet!"
Lin Yu raised his hands high, "Forget it! I surrender. Do whatever you want, I'll just eat and watch from the side!"
"Hmph! We won't bother with him. Tsunade old... Sister Tsunade, let's drink!"
Kushina raised her small cup and downed it in one gulp, then stuck out her small tongue. The taste was so stimulating!
Although Tsunade was surprised by Kushina's change in attitude, as long as there was drinking, they were good brothers!
Tsunade grabbed the sake bottle and gulped down a whole bottle, declaring heroically, "This is how sake should be drunk to be enjoyable!"
Mikoto also raised her small cup and said softly, "Mikoto also toasts Sister Tsunade, thank you for your contribution to the village."
"Hahaha! No need to be so polite, this is my..."
Before Tsunade could finish, she saw Mikoto down the drink. However, the next moment, her fair face turned red and then quickly spread to her neck. This girl couldn't drink at all, could she!
Seeing this, what could Tsunade do? She had to drink!
Mikoto, who couldn't drink, had already downed it, so as an elder sister, she couldn't refuse, right!
Gulp, gulp!
Another bottle of sake went down her throat!
While Tsunade was downing the drinks, Mikoto's small hand under the table clenched tightly: "What should I do! I still want to drink! But what if I get too drunk and mess things up!"
Mikoto thought of the time she got drunk at home and Lin Yu saw her, her pretty face flushing even redder.
"Sister Tsunade, Kurenai also toasts you a cup!"
Seeing that both older sisters had toasted, the little萝莉 Yūhi Kurenai also extended her small hand to pour herself some sake from the table, but Lin Yu, quick with his hands, took it away and said sternly, "Little girl, why are you drinking alcohol? Drink juice!"
Yūhi Kurenai pouted and mumbled, "Stubborn old man!"
"Hahaha! Even Kurenai says you're a stubborn old man, Lin Yu, brat. It seems your thinking really needs to change!"
Kushina glared at Lin Yu, snatched the sake from his hand, poured herself another cup, and said to Tsunade, "Today, we won't stop until we're drunk!"
"Okay! Kushina, I, Tsunade, have high hopes for you today!"
Gulp, gulp!
Kushina covered her red and hot small face and quickly looked to her good friend for help.
Mikoto looked at her comrade's pleading gaze, and then thought of that secret technique for eternal youth. She decided to go all out!
"Come! Drink!"
