[Hmm, I'm back!]
[The big-breasted woman is still the best. Those men earlier really ruined my mood.]
Thinking this, Kamizuki Hikari turned his head and saw Tsunade opening her eyes. Her hands, resting on the high ground, stretched out, revealing ripples of movement.
[So... soft!]
"Oh, is it time already?" Tsunade sat up and asked softly.
Hikari raised his hand slightly and glanced at his wrist.
"Yeah, it's time. Since you're awake, Tsunade-sama, you take over the night watch. I'll go to sleep!" With that, Hikari pulled out a sealing scroll, retrieved a pillow and a soft mat, quickly set them up, and prepared to lie down.
"Don't sleep yet. Come with me for a moment!"
Tsunade waved at him mysteriously before heading into a small grove.
Hikari glanced back at his older brother, then got up and followed her.
Once the two of them walked off into the distance, Kamizuki Izumo opened his eyes. Beside him, Hagane Kotetsu also stirred awake.
"Izumo, congratulations! I bet Tsunade-sama has really taken a liking to your little brother!"
Izumo opened his mouth as if to say something but remained silent in the end.
What could he even say?
Tsunade was undeniably a top-tier beauty, both in figure and appearance. But there was one thing that concerned Izumo.
Her age.
Not that he thought it was bad that she was older than Hikari. But the Kamizuki family only had the two of them left. Izumo was still hoping that one day Hikari would come around and find a woman to continue their family line.
If Tsunade really set her sights on Hikari, then what would happen to their family?
Would Tsunade-sama even allow Hikari to take another wife to bear children for the Kamizuki family?
...
[Tsunade led me to a secluded grove... could it be that she has ulterior motives for me?]
[Should I just play dumb and go along with it?]
Hearing Kamizuki Hikari's inner thoughts, Tsunade looked up to the heavens in exasperation.
Since when did she, Senju Tsunade, become the kind of woman who desperately needed a man?
She had been doing just fine all these years!
"Stop overthinking. I just needed to relieve myself and wanted you to keep watch!" Tsunade warned him in a low voice before scanning the area for a suitable spot.
After a while, she found a dense bush that seemed just right.
"Stand here and keep watch. And turn around, no peeking!"
"Tsunade-sama, you're really underestimating me. Do I look like the type to peek?" Hikari retorted indignantly.
Tsunade gave him a once-over and nodded solemnly.
"You do. Very much so. Extremely so."
Hikari looked up at the sky speechlessly, feeling as though his character had been insulted.
"I never peek. Because when I look, I do it openly and confidently."
"Get lost!"
Tsunade, now embarrassed and furious, waved a fist imbued with monstrous strength.
"Alright, alright, I'm turning around."
[Fine, you won't let me look today... But one day, when you're begging me to look, I'll make you regret it!]
Tsunade rolled her eyes dramatically.
Ha!
Even if the moon fell from the sky, she would never beg him to look at her!
Looking up at the sky, Hikari's sharp hearing picked up distant sounds—the murmuring of his older brother and Kotetsu, the loud snoring of Maito Gai...
*Splash...*
[Wow, this woman is really relieving herself out here!]
[Is there no law, no justice in this world?!]
With that thought, Hikari took a few steps forward, increasing the distance between them.
In the thicket, Tsunade, who was taking care of her business, blushed furiously. Through the gaps in the foliage, she glared at Hikari's retreating figure, her eyes filled with murderous intent.
That bastard! If I ever catch him, he's dead!
[Hmm, she's still not done? Is she going for something bigger? Wait, did she bring tissues?]
[No way... she wouldn't use her hand, right?!]
