Tsunade Can Hear My Inner Voice novel Chapter 27

Chapter 27 - 27: Assembly

Early the next morning.

Kamizuki Hikari was rudely awakened from his slumber by his older brother, Kamizuki Izumo. After washing up, the two obediently made their way to the village gate.

As the gatekeepers of Konoha, this was the place the Kamizuki brothers were most familiar with.

Without a doubt.

"Morning, Izumo!" When the Kamizuki brothers arrived, Hagane Kotetsu was already there.

Kamizuki Izumo smiled and nodded, his face brimming with excitement. Anyone unaware of the situation might have thought he was going on a blind date.

Compared to him, Kamizuki Hikari looked utterly lifeless, as if he could fall asleep at any moment.

"Hikari, you can't be like this. Today, we're accompanying Tsunade-sama on a mission. As a member of Konoha, you must take protecting the Hokage as your duty. Acting so lazy is truly disgraceful!"

"Izumo, why don't you do something about him?" Kotetsu chided earnestly, sounding more like Hikari's older brother than Izumo, while Izumo himself just looked like a spectator enjoying the show.

"Sigh, I wish I could..." Izumo sighed, looking at his sloth-like younger brother with a helpless expression.

"Hikari, if you keep being this lazy, no girl will ever like you!"

Izumo knew his younger brother well.

After all, someone who wasn't a pervert wouldn't be able to write those kinds of books.

"As if you two single dogs have anyone interested in you!" Hikari sneered at his brother and Kotetsu. "I'm not getting married because I don't want to sacrifice my beautiful youth so early! Unlike you two, who simply can't find anyone."

"So, please don't use your thoughts to judge my superior perspective!"

Izumo and Kotetsu: 'We feel personally attacked!'

"Hikari, you're as amusing as ever!" A gentle female voice rang out—clearly belonging to a refined and mature woman.

Hikari looked up and was greeted by a pair of long, slender legs. The owner of these legs was none other than Konoha's flower, the beautiful Yuhi Kurenai.

"Oh, it's the lovely Kurenai! Long time no see."

"Long time? I saw you just yesterday in the Hokage's office!" Kurenai wasn't buying into Hikari's pleasantries. "I heard that a certain someone, aside from gatekeeping duties, spends all their free time at the hospital charming young girls. And the younger they are, the more enthusiastic he gets. I wonder who that could be?"

"That would be me!" Hikari admitted without hesitation.

For a moment, Kurenai didn't know how to respond.

This guy really didn't play by the rules.

Hikari grinned at Kurenai. With his keen observational skills, he could tell that Asuma hadn't won her over yet.

It was honestly strange. They were around the same age, yet Asuma always seemed like an old man. _{ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com}

Look at Hikari—people would believe he was still twenty. But Asuma? If someone said he was forty, few would doubt it.

What a stark difference.

A blatant gap.

"Kurenai, are you paying so much attention to me because I haven't tried to charm you yet? If that's the case, then I must apologize. After all, I can't beat you in a fight. If you really fell in love with me and decided to force yourself on me, I wouldn't be able to resist!"

Kurenai blinked in surprise before smiling gracefully. As adults, a little teasing was harmless.

Izumo: 'Wow, I need to take notes!'

Kotetsu: 'Damn, this guy's smooth! I need to learn a thing or two from Hikari. Maybe I can finally get out of being single!'
