The leader was a ninja with a scar on his face, followed by two subordinates.
The three of them approached with fierce looks on their faces, and the scar-faced ninja appeared especially arrogant and domineering. He shouted, "Hey! I heard you were lucky today and won a lot of money, right?"
"Be smart and hand over the money, or you'll regret it!"
Sasuke and Tsunade sat in their seats, continuing to drink, completely ignoring the three uninvited guests in front of them.
"Hey! I'm talking to you! Are you deaf?" Scarface grew annoyed at being ignored, "You're really asking for trouble!"
As he reached for Sasuke's collar, Sasuke suddenly looked up, a cold glint in his eyes. He quickly acted, grabbing Scarface's wrist and twisting it hard. A scream echoed as Scarface's wrist was dislocated.
Seeing the situation deteriorating, the other two drew their swords, but Sasuke was faster. He kicked one of them away and punched the other in the stomach, rendering them both instantly incapacitated.
Tsunade and Shizune watched the scene unfold, both surprised at how quickly Sasuke handled the situation. Although they suspected that Sasuke wasn't an ordinary person, they didn't expect his strength to be this formidable.
Sasuke casually clapped his hands and sat back down, continuing to drink as if nothing had happened. Tsunade frowned slightly, her eyes falling on the three men on the ground, a hint of doubt crossing her mind. However, when she looked more carefully, she suddenly realized that these three were the same people she had seen in the casino earlier.
Tsunade turned to Shizune and asked, "Shizune, aren't these the same people we saw at the casino today?"
Shizune nodded in agreement, adding, "Yes, they were around us while we were winning. It seems they had their eyes on us from the start."
Tsunade realized that these men had been planning to rob them all along, waiting for the right moment. However, she didn't expect Sasuke to be so strong—not only was he a good drinker, but his combat skills were also exceptional!
Shizune, curious about Sasuke's background, asked, "Sasuke-kun, you must be from one of the Five Great Ninja Villages, right? Which village do you belong to?"
After all, only the Five Great Ninja Villages could produce such an excellent ninja.
Hearing her question, Sasuke smiled confidently and replied, "I'm a ninja from Konoha Village and a member of the Uchiha clan."
As soon as he said this, both Tsunade and Shizune were stunned. They didn't expect Sasuke to be from Konoha Village, and even more surprising was that he was an Uchiha.
Tsunade noticed that Sasuke seemed to wonder why she had no negative reaction to his Uchiha identity. She explained, "You're probably wondering why I, a Senju, have no issues with you being an Uchiha."
Sasuke nodded in response.
Tsunade continued, "During the Warring States period, the Senju and Uchiha clans were mortal enemies. But since my grandfather and Uchiha Madara founded Konoha, he told me not to hold any prejudice against the Uchiha clan. After all, we now belong to the same village and are allies on the battlefield, so I don't have much against the Uchiha. Not to mention, I've heard that the Uchiha clan was almost wiped out."
When she said this, Tsunade looked at Sasuke with a sympathetic expression. The situation of the Uchiha clan was quite similar to her own.
Sasuke smiled and said, "That was true before, but now the Uchiha clan is about to reach double digits."
Tsunade looked confused. "How did you do that? I thought only you and Uchiha Itachi were left. How did the numbers suddenly increase?"
Sasuke first corrected Tsunade. "First of all, as the leader of the Uchiha clan, I've removed Uchiha Itachi's name from our family tree."
He continued, "Secondly, I already have several wives in Konoha, which is why I said the Uchiha clan is about to reach double digits."
Hearing Sasuke's explanation, Tsunade and Shizune exchanged a glance, looking at Sasuke differently. Sasuke had gone to great lengths to revive his clan, even sacrificing his personal life.
Tsunade admired his determination, while Shizune blushed slightly.
Sasuke paid no mind to their reactions, pouring himself another glass of wine. "So, to further revive the Uchiha clan, I left the village to find more suitable wives."
Sasuke openly revealed his intentions to Tsunade and Shizune, seeing no reason to hide anything.
Tsunade laughed at his boldness and said, "You're quite brave. How about this—I'll give you a chance. Let's make a bet. If you can beat me, Shizune and I will both marry you. What do you say? Do you dare to bet?"
She looked at Sasuke with a mocking smile, while Shizune blushed furiously. "Tsunade-sama! Why are you including me in this bet?!"
Tsunade gave Shizune a knowing look. "Come on, Shizune, I've seen how you keep sneaking glances at Sasuke. Don't be shy."
Shizune's face turned even redder as she shyly protested, "Tsunade-sama!"
Despite her embarrassment, Sasuke agreed to the challenge. After all, Tsunade was offering him a golden opportunity.
The three of them then moved to an open area since the bet Tsunade had in mind wasn't suitable to carry out in a public establishment.
Shizune stood aside, watching quietly as Tsunade and Sasuke faced each other.
Tsunade placed her hands on her hips and declared, "Sasuke, I'm going to throw a punch at you. If you can block it, you win. But if you can't, you have to admit defeat!"
Of course, Sasuke had no intention of admitting defeat. After all, he had learned Sage Mode. How hard could it be?
