After Tsunade was fully prepared, Ren and Tsunade left the room. Living in Ren's house, Tsunade, as a guest, couldn't help but greet Ren's family, right?
The result... As soon as he got downstairs, Ren saw his parents, Tatsuo and Keiko, pull out party poppers, and two fireworks burst open with a "snap!" and a "snack!"
"Welcome Lady Tsunade as a guest!!"
Colorful streamers sprayed down from the sky. Ren was stunned, and Tsunade was also stunned.
What's going on... I can't come up with the metaphysical alias of "Chisaki Katsu" (千勝, "thousand wins")? How am I supposed to win money tomorrow?! This was Tsunade's inner thought.
And Ren... He saw the table full of dishes, and Tenten, who had a bulging face and had turned her head as if she was sulking... He understood.
With a hand on his forehead, Ren sighed. 'How could I forget Tenten! When the old horse stumbled... it was Ren.' But he, Ren, wasn't old yet, how could he forget this one!
"Lady Tsunade, please." Tsunade's identity was exposed, and Ren had no choice but to accept this fact.
"Lady Tsunade, sit here, sit here!" Ren's parents hurriedly signaled that Tsunade should take the main seat. After all, Tsunade's identity was what it was, and it was proper etiquette to let such a person sit in the main seat.
Tsunade smiled generously: "It's not suitable for my guest to sit in the main seat, I'll just sit there." Tsunade went straight to find a seat and sat down.
"How can this be, Lady Tsunade, please take your seat!" Ren's parents hurriedly insisted.
"Just treat her as an ordinary guest."
"Okay, okay, let's just sit and prepare to eat, I'm hungry." Ren made an excuse about being hungry, and pushed his parents to sit in the main seats.
"Alright, let's get ready for dinner!" Ren put his hands together and started to move his chopsticks after murmuring a quick prayer.
The banquet... officially began.
During the meal, Ren's parents and Tsunade chatted politely. Tsunade noticed that Ren's parents were somewhat restrained, so she showed a carefree and easygoing demeanor, allowing Ren's parents to gradually relax during the banquet. They ate this meal for more than two hours.
"Mom, help Dad back to rest." Turning his head to look at Tsunade, who was also drunk, Ren shook his head. "I'll take Lady Tsunade to her room to rest."
This meal... Tsunade and Ren's father both drank too much.
"Ah, ah... Okay." Ren's mother was also a little dazed. With the legendary Sannin as a guest, she too had happily drunk a few glasses. "Remember what we said just now!"
"Don't talk about Lady Tsunade's visit to our house!"
"Remember, I remember!"
After chatting for a bit more, Ren's parents helped each other back to their room, and Ren also helped Tsunade, whose face was flushed and her loose clothes were somewhat disheveled, to return to the guest room. Tenten mumbled a few words in a low voice, and then began to clean up the mess on the dinner table.
'My parents are drunk... The dishes, tables and chairs had to be cleaned by me.'
---
"Phew!"
In the room, Ren took a lot of effort to help the drunk Tsunade onto the bed. In front of her proud figure, loose clothes couldn't stop her allure at all. Her smooth and tender skin, with redness showing through its fairness, was exposed. The "mountains" rose... ready to come out...
Ren shook his head, but he was very patient, even if he was a little shaken by the sight. After gently laying Tsunade onto the bed, he hurriedly left the room. He was not a hypocrite who took advantage of others' vulnerability; he would rather be a villain than a hypocrite!
Hmm... After going out of Tsunade's room, Ren took a few deep breaths; he needed to calm down.
"What..."
"Brother, what's wrong with you?" Just then, Tenten, who was cleaning up the mess, passed by and saw Ren's gaffe.
"No, it's fine, I'm going back to my room to rest." Step, step. Quick footsteps sounded in the wooden corridor. Ren's mood had not yet calmed down.
"By the way, you should rest early after you pack up, Tenten!" Before entering his room, Ren didn't forget to instruct his sister.
"I see." After replying, Tenten's small face became worried. 'Brother... something's wrong with him!'

The next day, Tsunade went out early in the morning. Ren guessed that Tsunade had run to the casino as a rich kid's gift without even thinking about it.
And Ren... As a ninja of Konoha, he had a rare vacation, and he didn't want to go out to play and rest. Early this morning, Ren got up and went straight to the forging room. On the way back from his last mission, he had obtained the puppet doll drawings... he had to fiddle with them.
Suddenly it was noon. Ren's parents rushed into Ren's exclusive forging room in a hurry.
"Ren, I heard Tenten say that you performed an S-rank mission last time?" His mother looked worried.
And his father... He clenched his fists tightly, and seemed very nervous, but his face was very serious: "Ren, I heard that you are going to be promoted to Anbu Commander?"
Ren stopped his work, looking at the old couple with a smile, he comforted: "Mom and Dad, what I encountered was a good S-rank mission, but you misunderstood."
"That girl, Tenten... really."
"I'm not going to perform an S-rank mission, it was a B-rank mission. I didn't lie to you when I told you it was a B-rank mission before the last mission."
"It's just that there were some unforeseen circumstances during this mission, and more things happened. After returning to the village, the Hokage judged this mission as an S-rank mission."
"As for Anbu Commander... This is what Lady Tsunade told me last night, otherwise I wouldn't know about it."
After Ren explained, his father said to his mother: "I knew it, Ren is a sensible person, how could he be in a mess."
"Now Ren is about to be an Anbu Commander, don't hold him back with your motherly worries!" After speaking, his father was silent for a while.
He then said softly. "Ren, we don't ask you to do anything... We will support you whatever you want, but... you can be more careful in the future."
"Although we don't understand the powerful ninja world... But if you have any difficulties, don't keep them to yourself, you can tell me and your mother. We... will try our best to help you."
Ren's heart warmed. "I see, thank you father, thank you mother!"
"Don't worry, I don't have any grand ambitions. I won't mess around, and I won't actively seek out dangerous situations."
"The position of Anbu Commander... and that S-rank mission... it's really just a coincidence."
After reassuring the old couple, Ren chatted with them for a while. After his parents left, Ren started forging again.
It was night time. The "Big Fat Sheep" with a proud golden single ponytail came to Ren's forging room.
"Ren, help me!"
"Those grandchildren at the casino... they must be cheating again!"
"It's not just cheating, they also mocked the old lady!!"
"I smashed their shop in a fit of rage, but old Sarutobi ran over to stop it... and mediated."
"Although I smashed their store, I still can't stand it!"
Ren sighed. 'I knew it! The Big Fat Sheep lives at our house and will definitely find me to go to the casino!'
"How much did you lose?"
"One..."
"One million Ryō?"
"Twelve million Ryō..."
Ren: "..."
"He's definitely cheating at that casino!"
"Heh..." Ren chuckled softly. It wasn't that Ren didn't believe Tsunade; casinos are meant to make money... It's very common for them to cheat. To say there was any casino that didn't cheat, Ren would find that strange.
"Okay, I'll accompany you for one more trip... just this one!"
Ren wanted to reject Tsunade, and wanted to tell Tsunade to quit gambling, telling her that gambling was not a good thing... But Tsunade's gambling addiction... was it really that easy to quit? Shizune had accompanied Tsunade for decades, and every time Tsunade gambled, she persuaded Tsunade... but it never stopped her. Wanting Tsunade to quit gambling... was not something that would happen overnight.
To be honest, Ren wanted to reject Tsunade and let Tsunade suffer a big loss in gambling, and then Ren would step forward to help her "wake up"...
But... Tsunade smashed other stores... It seems that these people really touched Tsunade's nerve. In this case, Ren wouldn't be able to stand by.
