Hokage, no one knows better than me how to cultivate talent.

Chapter 99 The Three Drunken Women

"Shizune, leave some of this braised pork for me." Tsunade already had a piece of braised pork rib in her mouth and a slice of beef in her chopsticks, but her eyes were fixed on Shizune's hand that was reaching for the braised pork.

Seeing this scene, Qiu Shui truly understood what it meant to "eat what's in your bowl while eyeing what's in the pot."

Alcohol emboldens the timid.

The brave personality that had been suppressed deep within Shizune's heart for so long temporarily took control of her body under the influence of alcohol.

She hesitated when there was only one dish, but now there are more than a dozen dishes on the table, each one so delicious that it makes her want to cry. At this moment, she wouldn't listen to Tsunade's words, and even if the Third Hokage came in person, she would still eat without hesitation.

The more she ate, the happier she felt, and the happier she felt, the more heartbroken she became.

Having wandered with Tsunade for so many years, enduring hardships and uncertainty, I've lived such a good life for far too long. Yet, my old classmate Kurenai Yuhi lives such a wonderful life every day, with a house, a home, warmth, and someone cooking delicious meals for her in various ways.

Thinking of this, Jingyin suddenly lost control of her emotions.

Tears welled up without warning and streamed down her face, leaving Tsunade, who was picking up food, stunned.

It's just that I'm letting you eat two less pieces of braised pork.

Should I just cry?

And you've promised me quite a few things too!

"Jingyin, are you alright?" Qiu Shui quickly grabbed a few tissues and handed them over.

He wondered if his cooking wasn't to her liking, but seeing how much she enjoyed it, he thought it couldn't be that.

"It's nothing..." Shizune took the tissue and wiped her tears, sobbing as she said, "It was just too delicious."

Qiu Shui breathed a sigh of relief.

"Come on, Kurenai, let's have a drink." Tsunade's face was flushed, and her eyes were starting to glaze over, but her enthusiasm was growing. She raised her wine glass and swirled it towards Kurenai.

Even the crimson sunset isn't afraid.

Although she was far from being Tsunade's match in strength, she refused to believe that she could lose to this gambler in terms of drinking capacity.

An hour and a half later.

"Hahaha, I won!" Kurenai Yuhi laughed loudly as she watched Tsunade finally collapse onto the table, unable to hold on any longer. Her laughter was full of smugness.

However, before her laughter could even subside, she felt a sudden dizziness, and the lights in front of her began to flicker.

The next second, she quietly collapsed onto the table in the exact same posture as Tsunade.

Jingyin hadn't drunk much, but she still looked dazed and drunk.

Qiu Shui sat in the chair, looking at the three women in front of him who were completely drunk, and felt his temples throbbing.

I cook all the meals, we eat together, but I still have to do all the cleanup myself.

But looking at the three people staggering about in front of him, he could only sigh resignedly, stand up, and begin to clean up the mess.

The bowls, chopsticks, plates, and cups were all put away in the kitchen, the dining table was wiped clean, and the wine stains on the floor were mopped twice.

After all the work was finished, Qiu Shui stood in the center of the living room, looked at the three people lying motionless on the table, and sighed again.

"Red, wake up." He walked to Red's side, bent down and called softly.

No response.

He then called Shizune and Tsunade. Shizune responded.

"I can still drink... I'm not drunk..."

'

Tsunade suddenly raised her head, her eyes half-open and half-closed, her gaze glazed over. After uttering these drunken words, she slumped back down heavily.

Her head movement was so exaggerated that the loose neckline of her nightgown slipped down, revealing a large expanse of fair, almost translucent skin, and the dazzling curves of her full, snow-white breasts.

Qiu Shui's eyelids twitched suddenly.

Do not look at what is improper.

Do not look at what is improper.

He silently repeated it twice in his mind, forcing himself to look away.

Qiu Shui is a perfectly normal man, and he had been drinking, so it's impossible for him to remain unmoved by what he saw.

But he wasn't a vulgar person; he didn't have any filthy thoughts. He didn't have the impulse to "die under the peony flower, even as a ghost, I'd still be romantic."

The early spring nights are still quite cold.

If the three of them are allowed to sleep in the living room overnight, they're bound to catch a cold tomorrow.

Moreover, you can't just ignore someone who's drunk. If they have an accident because of an improper sleeping position, such as vomit blocking their airway, that would be really ridiculous.

"Shizune, wake up." Qiushui walked over and shook Shizune's shoulder. "Help me, help Tsunade and Kurenai to their beds in their rooms."

It's not that he can't lift it by himself; he could easily lift three, or even five.

It's just two young women and a mature beauty. If he, a grown man, touches them inappropriately while they are unconscious, and there's a misunderstanding when they wake up, he won't be able to explain himself no matter how hard he tries. It's always safer to find a witness.

"Okay..." Shizune mumbled a drowsy reply. After all, she had rested for half an hour, so her mind was still relatively clear. Although she swayed a couple of times when she stood up by supporting herself on the table, she managed to stand up with difficulty.

"You help Lady Tsunade, and I'll help Kurenai. I have enough rooms at home, so you can sleep here tonight." After saying this, Akisui walked to Kurenai's side, bent down and called her name twice, but still received no response.

He crouched down, put one of Yuhi Hong's arms on his shoulder, and put his other arm around her waist, steadily helping her up.

The moment their bodies touched, Qiu Shui clearly felt two soft mounds gently pressing against her chest.

He subconsciously looked down and saw that the neckline of the red dress was slightly open, revealing about a third of the edge of the red lace, which contrasted with her snow-white skin and a faint cleavage, making him dizzy under the light.

Fortunately, Xi Ri Hong Jiu was a good drinker; she leaned quietly against his shoulder without moving.

Qiu Shui helped her into the guest room without much effort, gently placed her on the large bed, pulled the blanket over her, and then poured a glass of water and placed it on the bedside table.

He returned to the living room and saw Shizune struggling to support Tsunade, her body swaying precariously as if she were about to collapse at any moment.

"Qiushui, come help me..." Shizune practically slumped in the chair next to Tsunade, panting as she beckoned to him. "I don't have much strength left, I can't lift Lady Tsunade by myself."

As Qiu Shui walked over, his gaze inevitably swept over Tsunade.

She was lying face down on the table, an angle that made the contours of her full hips even clearer, and her full breasts bulged out noticeably from her ribs due to the pressure of her body, stretching the soft fabric into a startling curve.

He took a deep breath, walked over, and bent down to help Tsunade up, just as he had helped Kurenai earlier.

The sensation on my chest was even more pronounced than before; two larger, soft mounds pressed firmly against me, conveying warmth and weight through the thin fabric.

Almost uncontrollably, Qiushui made a comparison in her mind and concluded that Kurenai Yuhi was at least two levels below Tsunade.

"Drink...keep drinking..."

'

Tsunade suddenly spoke, her voice muffled and unclear.

As soon as she finished speaking, her body jerked violently, as if she had made a large movement in her dream.

Before Qiushui could regain his balance, Tsunade's hand was already on his shoulder, pulling him back forcefully.

Qiu Shui felt that everything in front of her was a vast expanse of white.

His entire face was completely buried in a vast, soft, warm white expanse.

A sweet, clean scent of shower gel mixed with a faint smell of alcohol instantly filled his nostrils.

The skin pressed against my cheek was smooth and delicate, so soft it almost didn't seem real, with a touch that made my mind go blank and my breath catch in my throat.

"Um..

'

Tsunade seemed to feel the warm breath coming from her chest, and a very soft, nasal hum escaped from her throat.

"call."

Qiu Shui suddenly raised her head, took a deep breath, and looked like a drowning person finally surfacing.

Although it was exciting, he didn't want to suffocate.

Qiushui clearly sensed that Tsunade was wearing nothing under her loose pajamas.

Vacuum.

Qiu Shui composed herself and quickly glanced at Jing Yin beside her. Jing Yin was still slumped on the ground, her eyes half-open and half-closed, completely dazed, and clearly hadn't noticed what had just happened.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

"Jingyin, go ahead and help open the door." Qiu Shui tried her best to make her voice sound calm and normal.

"Oh... okay." Shizune mumbled a reply, stood up unsteadily, and walked forward while holding onto the wall.

Fortunately, Tsunade did not do anything outrageous for the rest of the journey.

Qiu Shui gently settled her on the bed in another guest room, pulled up the covers, and then sent Jingyin back to another room.

He took another deep breath, looked down, and then turned and walked towards the bathroom.

If I don't take a cold shower, I probably won't be able to sleep tonight.

Hinata Hyuga had breakfast at home that morning, and as usual, she slung her schoolbag over her shoulder and walked alone out of the Hyuga clan's territory, heading towards school along the familiar streets.

As she turned the corner of a quiet alley, three figures suddenly appeared from the front and surrounded her.

The three boys were all more than half a head taller than their peers, with broad shoulders and thick waists, standing in front of the thin Hinata like three low walls.

"What...what do you want?" Hinata instinctively took a half step back, her voice tense, and obvious panic rising in her eyes.

She recognized these people as the three boys who had bullied her and Naruto a few years ago.

"What are you doing?" The leader, Takeshi Gouda, crossed his arms and had a malicious smile on his lips.

The other two boys also started chuckling.

"Your eyes are still as ugly as ever." Takeshi Gouda raised his hand, pointing his index finger directly at Hinata's face, the tip almost poking her eye. "They look exactly like Neji's."

Yesterday, he was humiliated in front of his classmates by Hyuga Neji. Neji's cold gaze and merciless attitude made him unable to hold his head up in front of the whole class. Takeshi knew he was no match for Neji, but he had to get back the face he had lost, so he brought two friends here to ambush Hinata.

"Do you... know Neji-nii-san?" Hinata turned her head slightly, trying to avoid the finger pointing at her nose, and asked softly.
