Chapter 92: Spending Money on Others

Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Spending Money on Others

At that moment, the Hokage mentioned by the two Uchiha ninja was strolling through the streets of Konohagakure.

Since he had decided to rest, he was determined to rest properly.

However, Uchiha Xuan now had an extra person by his side.

"Normally, shouldn’t you be at the gambling hall right now? Did you lose all of Nawaki’s allowance?"

Uchiha Xuan raised an eyebrow and spoke softly as he glanced at Tsunade beside him.

"What kind of talk is that! What do you mean ’lose’? I just temporarily deposited that money in the gambling hall. In a couple of days, I’ll go withdraw it with interest!"

Hearing the word "lose," Tsunade immediately grew flustered and hurriedly defended herself.

According to the mystical gambling techniques her great-grandfather had taught her, the word "lose" was something one shouldn’t hear too often—it could affect one’s luck.

"Heh."

In response, Uchiha Xuan simply rolled his eyes. It would be strange if Tsunade actually won.

"Hey, hey, hey! What’s with that look? Don’t you know what a gambling god is, huh? What are you looking at?"

Seeing Uchiha Xuan roll his eyes at her again, Tsunade couldn’t help but feel indignant and wanted to argue further. But by then, Uchiha Xuan’s attention had already been drawn to a figure dressed in green.

Following his gaze, Tsunade saw an old "acquaintance" bowing and pleading with a shopkeeper.

"It’s him. Though his style is odd, his perseverance is truly remarkable. After all... he’s never given up on being a genin all these years."

Tsunade raised an eyebrow as she looked at the figure in green. Even she had heard of his reputation.

The legendary eternal genin—Might Dai!

"I almost forgot about him."

Watching Might Dai continuously bowing to the shopkeeper, Uchiha Xuan curled his lips into a faint smile.

"Huh? What about him? Do you know him?"

Tsunade was taken aback. Could Might Dai have something special about him? Wasn’t he just a genin?

"A highly skilled taijutsu ninja. If your Strength of a Hundred Technique isn’t fully perfected yet and you rely solely on your Sett’s Technique, you might not be his match."

As Uchiha Xuan strode toward Might Dai, he explained to Tsunade.

"Hokage-sama! Lady Tsunade!"

As Uchiha Xuan approached, the shopkeeper, who had been impatiently shooing Might Dai away, immediately fawned over them with a flattering smile.

"?!?! Hokage-sama, Lady Tsunade."

Hearing this, Might Dai beside him also realized the identities of Uchiha Xuan and Tsunade and promptly bowed in greeting.

"What’s going on here?"

Tsunade asked curiously. Naturally, she believed what Uchiha Xuan had said, but she couldn’t quite understand why a ninja stronger than her would remain an eternal genin.

"Lady Tsunade, you must stand up for me. This guy is seriously disrupting our store’s business. We sell baby products, and this guy keeps begging me to give him some of our unwanted trash.

This is a baby product store, not a restaurant. Where would we have trash to give him? And how could we use such things for babies!

So, this guy is definitely not a responsible parent. How can I allow someone like him to appear in front of my store?"

Upon hearing this, the store owner immediately poured out his grievances to Tsunade. He was utterly fed up with Might Dai.

"...I’m... I’m sorry. I’ll leave right away. Please don’t blame me for my rudeness, Hokage-sama and Lady Tsunade. I’m sorry."

Might Dai, standing nearby, immediately bowed in apology upon hearing this and began to slowly back away.

Looking at the future father of Might Guy, Uchiha Xuan frowned slightly.

At this moment, Might Dai had heavy dark circles under his eyes and carried the scent of medicine all over him. He bore no resemblance to the "youthful" figure who would later train Might Guy.

The current Might Dai exuded an aura of utter despondency.

"Wait. Go inside and take what you need. I’ll pay for whatever he buys. Send the bill to the Uchiha clan."

Seeing Might Dai like this and recalling that in the original story, Might Guy’s mother never appeared, Uchiha Xuan suddenly understood something. He softly called out to stop Might Dai from leaving and spoke quietly to the store owner.

"Huh?"

"Huh?"

"Hmm?"

As soon as Uchiha Xuan said this, all three people froze.

The store owner and Might Dai reacted similarly, both momentarily shocked, while Tsunade was purely displeased. After all, she had never spent a single penny of Uchiha Xuan’s money.

Every time she tried to borrow some gambling funds from Uchiha Xuan, she was mercilessly refused. And now, someone Uchiha Xuan was definitely not familiar with could spend his money.

’No matter how I think about it, it’s just annoying.’

"Th-thank you, Hokage-sama!"

Might Dai’s body stiffened. He walked up to Uchiha Xuan and bowed deeply. Given his personality, he actually wanted to refuse, but... he really needed these things.

’This is Yoshiko’s only keepsake...’

"Hmph, since it’s the Hokage’s order, come in then. How many months old is your child? How much does he weigh? I need to customize suitable items for your child."

After a moment of stunned silence, the store owner snorted lightly at Might Dai and spoke indifferently.

His tone was filled with disgust. In his eyes, Might Dai was an extremely irresponsible parent. If not for Uchiha Xuan, he would never have sold his products to this person.

"It’s... it’s not born yet... the child won’t be born for another month or two..."

Upon hearing this, Might Dai spoke in a low, embarrassed voice.

"..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the store fell silent.

Tsunade, standing to the side, glanced at Uchiha Xuan, then at Might Dai, and burst into laughter.

"No, I can’t take it anymore, I’m dying of laughter hahahaha, Xuan oh Xuan, I never thought your first time spending money on someone else would be on a fool hahahaha."

For a moment, Tsunade felt a sense of relief.

"Take me to your home."

Beside her, Uchiha Xuan ignored Tsunade, who was still laughing heartily, and calmly spoke to Might Dai. By now, he understood everything.

The scent of medicine on Might Dai... heh, it seems Hatake Kakashi’s dear friend will also have a fulfilling childhood.

"Ah? This... my home is a bit messy, Hokage-sama..."
