*Chapter 105: Tsunade’s Daughter, Chika Fujiwara*

It wasn’t that Aizen didn’t trust Pakura, but the situation was too dangerous.

Considering Tsunade’s fiery personality, if they met again, there was no guarantee she wouldn’t attack him. And if Pakura, a beautiful woman, was by his side, the entire Tanza Street could be in danger.

Pakura seemed to understand and didn’t question it further.

Afterward, the two found an inn to settle down.

Taking off his Akatsuki robe and ninja headband, Aizen took a bath, changed into regular clothes, and set off to find Tsunade.

Meanwhile, inside a gambling den on Tanza Street…

A woman with light blonde hair, tied in a large ponytail, had a blue-purple diamond mark on her forehead. She had light yellow, thin eyebrows, bright brown eyes, and light red lips. She wore a loose, sleeveless top similar to a kimono, with a black sash around her waist and dark blue capri pants. Over that, she wore a tea-green coat with black edges, with the word "Gamble" prominently printed on the back.

After four years…

Thanks to the power of the Strength of a Hundred Technique, even without pure gold, Tsunade's appearance hadn't changed a bit. In fact, after becoming a mother, she had gained a certain grace, an aura of a wife and a mother, making her even more attractive.

“Tsunade-sama, please stop gambling! This is our last bit of money. If you keep going, we’ll be sleeping on the streets tonight. Even if you don’t think of yourself, think about the young miss!” Shizune pleaded beside the gambling table, her heart heavy with worry.

She had no idea how she had survived this long. Every day, she not only had to care for the young one but also the elder.

At first, it wasn’t so bad. Because of the pregnancy, Tsunade had held back for quite a while. Even when she gambled, she usually won big. But after the child was born, Tsunade’s luck changed, and she went back to losing every game.

Poor Shizune was at her wit’s end.

“It’s okay, Shizune. I’m definitely winning this time,” Tsunade dismissed Shizune’s pleas and slyly took a few bills from the last stack, converting them into chips, and placed them all on a bet. “I’m betting big again.”

The next moment, something unexpected happened—Tsunade actually won.

“Tsunade-sama, we won! We finally won!” Shizune almost cried with joy, thinking they were definitely going to end up sleeping on the streets tonight.

Tsunade stared at the extra chips in front of her, a bit stunned. Whenever she won like this, something bad usually followed. The last time she won big, she found out she was pregnant, and only when she accepted the reality and decided to have the child did her luck return to normal.

The game continued.

In the second round, Tsunade bet big and won again.

In the third round, she kept betting big and won.

In the fourth round, she switched to betting small and still won.

As Tsunade kept winning, her pile of chips started growing rapidly. Soon, a crowd gathered to watch.

But Tsunade wasn’t happy. This was too strange. By the tenth round, she realized something was wrong.

She had hit a rare triple.

“Shizune, grab Chika and Tonton. We need to get out of Tanza Street now.”

Tonton was Tsunade’s pet pig.

And Chika? She was none other than the young miss Shizune had mentioned, Tsunade and Aizen’s daughter.

Since Tsunade was a descendant of the Senju Clan and Chika was born in the summer, Tsunade had named her Chika for simplicity’s sake.

“Shizune, where are you?” Tsunade called again, realizing there was no response. A moment later, Shizune rushed back, panting. “Bad news, Tsunade-sama! While you were gambling, Tonton and the young miss disappeared! I’ve searched the entire casino, but I couldn’t find them.”

Meanwhile, out on the street…

A pink pet pig wearing a pearl necklace was walking with an air of importance, taking its time.

Behind it followed a three- or four-year-old girl.

She looked like a living doll, so stunningly beautiful it took one’s breath away. Her waist-length golden hair flowed like a waterfall, her deep, starry eyes shining beneath her flawless, fair skin. Even her loose, snow-white clothes couldn’t hide her slim figure. Her lips were a delicate cherry red, and her gaze was like autumn waters.

The little girl was incredibly pretty. She had inherited Tsunade’s hair color and eyes, but her facial features bore a slight resemblance to Aizen.

As she jogged behind the pig, she called out in a soft, childish voice, “Tonton, wait for me!”

But the pet pig had no intention of stopping, sniffing around as if looking for something.

It finally stopped in front of a young man.

The pig lifted its head, examining him carefully.

The young man noticed the pig and crouched down, revealing a handsome face framed by messy black hair—it was Aizen.

Aizen smiled and picked up the pig. “You found me just by smell? You recognized me, didn’t you?”

The pig, clearly understanding him, became excited, confirming he was Chika’s father with a series of joyful “oink oink” sounds.

At that moment, the little girl following the pig finally caught up, panting.

“Sorry for the trouble! My pet Tonton must have bothered you,” she said in a clear, sweet voice, her large, curious eyes fixed on Aizen.

Aizen smiled and set the pig down, pretending not to know. “Is this your pet pig? What’s your name?”

Though he already knew from hearing Tsunade and Shizune’s conversation earlier, and from the pig and the girl’s resemblance to him and Tsunade, Aizen wanted to hear her answer.

The little girl picked up the pig and said, “This is my Tonton. But Chika can’t tell you her name. Mommy said that when someone asks for your name, you should always make them introduce themselves first.”

Hearing that, Aizen was momentarily stunned. He thought to himself, Isn’t that something I told Tsunade a long time ago? Now that he thought about it, Tsunade didn’t even know his name back then.

But this little girl was surprisingly strong. Despite her small frame, she could lift a pig almost as heavy as herself.

After a brief pause, Aizen smiled and introduced himself. “My name is Aizen”

Chika was taken aback for a moment, then giggled. “Wow, you’re right! That’s such a coincidence! Wait… how did you know my name was Chika?”

“Didn’t you just tell me?” Aizen teased, his lips curling into a smile. It seemed like this little girl had spent too much time in gambling dens with Tsunade, and her mind was a little muddled.
