Never underestimate Tsunade. When she wasn't being lazy, she could make money faster than almost anyone.
If you asked anyone in Konoha, they'd tell you that people lined up for miles just to have Tsunade treat them at the hospital.
But seeing her wasn't just about having money. It also depended on her mood. Sometimes, after blowing all her cash at the casino, Tsunade would knuckle down at the hospital for a few days, and her wallet would be full again in no time.
But her gambling habit was a problem. The moment she had money, she'd feel the itch to gamble.
And then, her "big sucker" reputation would kick in.
In no time at all, she'd lose everything she had just earned.
"..."
Tsunade's smile froze, her teeth grinding in frustration as she glared at Xin.
"You little brat, do you feel better now that you've said that?"
"No, I was just testing a theory. Oh, and let me guess, the booze was 'borrowed' from the casino too?"
"...."
With her sore spots thoroughly poked, Tsunade decided to ignore Xin altogether. This kid was way too good at getting under her skin.
And what made it worse was that she couldn't beat him in a fight, which just made her frustration even worse.
"The Nine-Tails hasn't been causing any trouble lately, right?" Xin asked, turning to Kushina now that Tsunade was ignoring him.
"It's been really quiet," Kushina replied, a little embarrassed as she remembered the incident from before.
Xin chuckled softly, reaching out to ruffle her smooth red hair. "Don't worry about it. It was the Nine-Tails that made a fool of itself, not you. That big fox doesn't define you, Kushina."
Could the Nine-Tails be charmed?
Xin had thought about it and figured probably not.
As for why the Nine-Tails had acted so foolishly, Xin suspected that it had something to do with the scent on Ophis.
That might explain why a creature as ancient as the Nine-Tails had behaved so strangely.
It had been quiet lately, which was proof enough.
The Nine-Tails was probably sulking, embarrassed by its own behavior, so it was hiding in the sealed space, taking a nap in silence.
"Yeah, I guess you're right," Kushina said, scratching her head and laughing.
"So, you're not mad at me, Xin?"
"Why would he be mad at you? You didn't do anything wrong," Tsunade interjected from the side, unable to stand watching the usually feisty Kushina turn into a flustered mess around Xin.
This girl is done for, Tsunade thought to herself. She's completely wrapped around Xin's little finger.
"Oh, by the way, I'll be heading to the battlefield in the Land of Rivers tomorrow. The enemy's been pushing hard lately, and the old man wants me to help out," Xin said.
"Make sure to keep Nawaki at the camp. Don't let him go on missions. I'm worried he'll end up being an easy target for the enemy."
