Chapter 21 Pay off debts

"Go and ask your sister Tsunade to come back for dinner."

Orochimaru saw Shizune's impatient look and sent her out. When Shizune walked out of the kitchen, Orochimaru continued:

"If she doesn't come back, tell her to double the money she owes me."

After hearing this, Shizune glanced at Orochimaru with a strange look, and then ran out without saying anything.

"Hmph! Borrowing my money to gamble, it's really yours. If I had known this, I wouldn't have borrowed it even if I killed him."

Orochimaru curled his lips, it would be difficult to get this kind of money back.

At first, when Tsunade asked Orochimaru to borrow money, she thought she was in some kind of difficulty. After all, Shizune had a lot of daily expenses when she was a child.

They haven't taken on a mission for a long time, and all they have used are the savings they have accumulated over the years.

The total amount of money Tsunade borrowed from her totaled more than one million taels, which was more than 200,000 yuan when converted into soft girl coins.

What's more, the purchasing power of money is still very high now, and a bowl of ramen only costs thirty or forty taels.

Thinking of the hard-earned money that he had worked so hard to save, Tsunade had deceived him like this. If he hadn't found out and stopped the loss in time, a few of them would have eaten rubbish now!

"More than two hundred thousand! If you meet Tsunade, your life will be ruined!"

Shaking his head, Orochimaru put aside these thoughts and hummed music involuntarily to relieve his tired mind.

This is also the most relaxing moment of his day. A scientist who cannot cook is not a qualified scientist.

When Shizune took Tsunade home, she happened to see the back of Orochimaru cooking in the kitchen, humming unknown music:

"I am still in a state of intoxication, dreaming and dying, smiling at the changing world, sighing with admiration, lamenting the pain of lovesickness, reminiscing about the past...

Don't you see me dancing gracefully, don't you see me playing the music, don't you see my charming smile and intoxicating face..."

Orochimaru's current voice is still relatively neutral, not as deep and thick as when he was in his forties or fifties.

He also deliberately lowered his voice so that the voice he sang sounded more female. If you weren't watching and just listening to the voice, you would have thought it was a woman singing.

This also stunned Tsunade, who had been forced back by Shizune just now. Tsunade, who was still aggressive and angry at first, saw that Orochimaru could actually sing and sang so well, and she was in a daze for a moment.

Could this arrangement and lyrics be written by a cold-blooded uncle like Orochimaru?

Not only was Tsunade full of doubts, but it was also the first time for Shizune to hear such a strange melody and lyrics, but they sounded pretty good.

Just when the two of them were still immersed in Orochimaru's singing and couldn't extricate themselves, the singing suddenly stopped.

Because Orochimaru had already reacted and realized that both Tsunade and Shizune had returned.

"Uh uh... I've been under too much pressure lately, so I started singing unconsciously, making you laugh."

Orochimaru explained with some embarrassment, Uncle Snake has such a cold and ruthless image, why did he forget that this is not his own home?

If it were still Orochimaru from his predecessor, he wouldn't even bother to cook, let alone singing.

Although Orochimaru is now much more cheerful than before, he is not that outrageous. It is really seen that his personality has changed drastically. I believe that someone from the Yamanaka family will come to investigate and find out whether he has been taken away.

Of course, that's to be serious, my Uncle Snake is still very majestic in front of others.

"No, Uncle Snake, you sing beautifully. What's the name of this song? Can you teach it to me?"

Facing Orochimaru's slightly embarrassed expression, Shizune didn't care, but asked about the issues she was concerned about.

"I'll teach you "Blue Silk" some other time when I have time! Let's eat now."

He didn't even look at Tsunade's expression as he said it. He was really embarrassed and almost died. Fortunately, he was at home.

"Qingsi, the name is quite appropriate."

But at this time, Tsunade began to murmur unconsciously.

"Uncle Snake, why do you think some people are so smart? Kakashi from our class graduated early today!"

Shizune said with some distress, obviously envious of Kakashi who skipped grades one after another and graduated from the ninja school early.

"Kakashi? It seems you are very talented!"

As he spoke, Orochimaru did not forget to glance at Tsunade. The three ninjas also graduated from the ninja school at the age of 6, and Orochimaru was the most talented among them.

"People who can graduate at this age will have extraordinary achievements in the future, but you don't need to compare with them. Geniuses are only a minority after all."

After a pause, Orochimaru continued:

"What can really support you is a rich reserve of knowledge, a sufficient financial foundation, continuous emotional stability, a controllable pace of life and an invincible self. You only need to work hard to reach this stage. Others It’s just one step faster than you!”

These words do not involve talent, it only requires sweat, and most people can achieve it.

After hearing Orochimaru's words, Shizune was no longer entangled. Tsunade also recognized Orochimaru's words. It can be said that this is what a qualified ninja should have.

Except for people like her who have a good life but are in a mess, without Orochimaru's intervention, she would probably still be in a state of confusion.

Seeing that Tsunade remained silent, Orochimaru immediately brought up the matter of asking her to pay the food fee.

"Impossible! No money...!"

As expected, he was not disappointed. Tsunade's reaction almost turned her head and turned the table over.

"Haha... either pay back or pay!"

Orochimaru had no intention of coddling her and continued to argue with reason.

Seeing Orochimaru's unyielding attitude, Tsunade knew she couldn't deny it.

"The worst thing I can do is go to gambling houses less often."

Tsunade knew that Orochimaru had caught the tail of what happened tonight, which gave him a reason to get angry, which was also a mistake in itself.

"That's what you said! But you still have to pay the monthly food fee!"

Seeing Tsunade surrendering in disguise, Orochimaru no longer clung to her. Who did he do this for, and not for this "family".

When she heard that she still had to pay for the food, Tsunade quit again. But before she could speak again, Orochimaru said again:

"The food expenses can be recorded first, and you can pay them together one day when you have money, but they must be settled before the end of the year."

Tsunade was relieved when she heard that she could keep accounts. As for settling the accounts at the end of the year, hum! Isn't that a matter of winning?

Moreover, the monthly food expenses are not much, and he is not even in a hurry to pay back the money he owes Orochimaru. He also knows Orochimaru's family background after performing so many tasks.

But she didn't know how little would add up, and with her gambling luck, she wanted to win unless Orochimaru got involved with the Third Hokage in advance.

"Hmph! Orochimaru, let's talk first, you can't take money from me through Shizune!"

Seeing her guarding against thieves, Orochimaru was also amused. She usually gave Shizune a lot of pocket money. Orochimaru would not reach out to take money from Shizune. Who did he think he was?
