Starting the fourth generation Hokage

After a few minutes.

Namikaze Minato and the other three sat down again in another private room, and the food and wine were placed on the table again.

"...Ahem."

There was still a bit of embarrassment on Tsunade's pretty face. In order to cover up her unnaturalness, she drank another glass of wine. At the same time, she couldn't help but muttered: "Really, you can't just say it clearly." ?"

Jiraiya recalled the dining table that was smashed to pieces by Tsunade just now, and while he was still frightened, he was secretly glad that he had brought Namikaze Minato with him.

This made Tsunade, who had saved him some face, vent her impulsive anger on the table instead of him.

"I haven't seen you for so long, and you still look so impulsive. It seems like you can't learn the gentleness that a woman should have..."

Jiraiya took the opportunity to complain.

But after Tsunade heard this, she immediately cast a threatening look, which frightened him into hastily stopping him.

"...Haha, Tsunade-sama, your strange power is still so terrifying..."

On the other side, Minato Namikaze chose someone with high emotional intelligence to make a show of embarrassment.

But everyone knows that if Tsunade's strange power is used with all her strength, let alone the table, the entire store will be smashed to pieces in an instant.

Soon, back to the topic.

Tsunade's eyes suddenly became distant and deep, she paused and put down the wine glass in her hand.

Under the gazes of Namikaze Minato and Jiraiya, he took off the emerald green necklace around his neck and said in a complicated tone: "Do you...really want this necklace?"

Before, while talking about business, Jiraiya suddenly looked at the position of Tsunade's chest, actually looking at the necklace.

However, Tsunade, who knew Jiraiya's character well, naturally had a misunderstanding.

Because of this, the wine and food on the table met with disaster...

"Of course, this necklace, a relic of the First Lord, is said to have the power to suppress tailed beasts." Jiraiya also became serious at this time, looking extremely serious.

At the same time, he also told the story about how the nine tails in Namikaze Minato's body almost went berserk.

In his opinion, although he was able to use the Five Elements Seal and stop the Nine-Tails with willpower because his disciple was strong enough, this was not a long-term solution after all. Today, he happened to think of the origin of Tsunade's necklace, and he brought it up. .

"...Well, if it's inconvenient for Tsunade-sama, there's no need to be embarrassed."

Namikaze Minato actually didn't expect that Jiraiya would invite Tsunade to dinner for this reason.

Although I felt a little moved, I didn't want to embarrass Tsunade.

"But, this necklace is actually an ominous object, Jiraiya, you should know that..."

Even if I don’t want to mention the past, I still miss people after seeing things.

Tsunade held the emerald green necklace in her hand and looked at it, with a hint of reminiscence and sadness in her eyes. It was originally a sad past that he just wanted to hide in his heart.

After all, both his brother and his lover died in the war after getting this necklace.

"I didn't expect...you still believe that this is a curse..." Jiraiya felt a little more melancholy at this time, silently poured a glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp.

"However, I actually don't believe in this kind of thing..."

"I only know that this relic of the First Lord can help Minato stabilize the Nine-Tails in his body."

As he spoke, Jiraiya's eyes became firm again, and he turned to look at Tsunade pleadingly: "This is my personal request..."

"I hope you can give it to Minato."

Hearing this, Tsunade couldn't help biting her lip, with obvious hesitation in her eyes.

It must be said that Jiraiya's reasons are very legitimate. If it were not for other concerns, Tsunade would never be stingy with this necklace.

However, the curse really affected her too deeply.

For a moment, the atmosphere on the table fell into silence.

Namikaze Minato was at a loss at this moment and wanted to interrupt again, but he didn't know what to say...

Suddenly, he had an idea and suggested with a smile: "It would be better like this."

"I heard that Tsunade-sama likes gambling. How about we use this necklace as a bet to determine its ownership?"

"..."

"..."

After he finished speaking, he immediately attracted surprised looks from Jiraiya and Tsunade.

The reason for this was naturally because they couldn't believe that these words came from Namikaze Minato.

Jiraiya, who was almost watching Minato grow into Hokage step by step, couldn't help but doubt his identity. Could Namikaze Minato, who didn't know anything about the three forbidden ninjas, actually know the art of gambling?

"I said, Minato... can you gamble?" Jiraiya looked at Namikaze Minato with a very strange look.

"No." The latter pursed his lips and answered quickly, with a smile on his face.

"...What, you don't even know how to gamble, yet you still do this..."

"Okay, let's make a bet to decide who owns the necklace!!"

Suddenly, a bold voice interrupted Jiraiya's words, and Tsunade suddenly slapped the necklace in her hand on the table.

The melancholy look from before had long since disappeared without a trace, replaced by excitement and impatience in his eyes. The way he rubbed his hands was clearly the same as the expressions on the faces of the gamblers in the casino before they opened the dice cup. No difference.

Jiraiya didn't expect Tsunade to agree so happily, and his jaw suddenly dropped.

what is this?

Tsunade agreed happily, and naturally she had her own plan, that is, she heard that Namikaze Minato did not know how to gamble...

After gambling a lot, Tsunade gradually became self-aware that she was the legendary fat sheep.

But she felt that no matter how bad her luck was, if she gambled with someone who didn't know how to gamble at all, her chances of winning should be higher, right?

This wave, this wave is a fat sheep and will never accept its fate...

Seeing how readily Tsunade agreed, Namikaze Minato felt very amused.

The reason for making such a suggestion was that he originally just wanted to ease the atmosphere at the table, but he didn't expect that things would develop unexpectedly.

Not long after, I found two dice cups in this restaurant.

Under the cleaning by the waiter, a seat was quickly opened on the dining table, and both parties took sides.

"The Yondaime, seeing as you are a junior, I won't bully you with my gambling skills."

Tsunade looked like a god of gambling, rolled up her sleeves, exposed her smooth arms, and pressed them on the dice cup.

The excited colleague Namikaze Minato who was standing opposite looked at each other and said: "Today we will play the simplest gambling method and try to score points..."

Jiraiya, who was watching on the sidelines, heard this and couldn't help but mutter secretly:...Does the legendary fat sheep actually have gambling skills?

"When you say the numbers, you mean shaking the dice cup and then revealing the number of points on the dice, right?"

Although Namikaze Minato doesn't know how to gamble, he can still understand this simple gameplay immediately.

"You are very talented. Now that you understand, let's get started..." Tsunade nodded with approval and said impatiently.

While talking, he shook the dice cup first.
