Tsunade Can Hear My Inner Voice novel Chapter 35

Chapter 35 - 35: Arrival at the Daimyō's Residence

As evening fell, Tsunade led her team onto the Daimyō's residence grounds. Soon, this information reached the Daimyō himself.

After presenting her formal request for an audience, Tsunade stood outside the main gates, waiting patiently.

The setting sun bathed the sky in hues of orange and crimson, gradually giving way to the encroaching darkness.

"So, Tsunade has arrived at the gates and is waiting there?"

The Daimyō reclined lazily in his chair, addressing Mu.

Mu knelt on one knee. "Yes, she has brought two squads with her. Based on intelligence, Tsunade departed two days ago."

As a subordinate, Mu never voiced his own opinions.

He was merely a tool; unless his master commanded otherwise, he only needed to perform his duties.

"Two days ago... If they traveled at full speed, they would indeed arrive around this time."

The Daimyō rubbed his nose lightly, a faint smile appearing on his face. _{freewёbnoνel.com}

"Very well, send someone to inform her that I am feeling unwell and have already retired for the night. Have Tsunade stay in the guest house. Keep an eye on her from a distance. I want to see if Yūhi Kurenai will come looking for her tonight!"

"Understood!" Mu responded and vanished using the Body Flicker Technique.

The Daimyo chuckled as he gazed into the distance, his eyes filled with gloom.

If Kurenai were to show up, things would get interesting.

Accusing Hokage of spying on the Daimyo's affairs. He wondered if Tsunade could bear such a crime.

"Tsunade-sama, the Daimyō is unwell and has already retired. Please rest in the guest house."

Upon receiving the reply, Tsunade frowned and looked up at the darkening sky. "Please inform him again. There are urgent matters in Konoha that require my attention. I only ask for a brief moment of his time. If we can settle things today, I need to return to the village to handle official business."

The attendant shook his head. "Tsunade-sama, the Daimyō's orders are absolute. No one can change them. Please proceed to the guest house."

"I—" Tsunade raised her hand, ready to lose her temper, but Kamizuki Hikari tugged at her sleeve.

"Tsunade-sama, perhaps we should wait until tomorrow. The Daimyō is unwell, and as his subordinates, we should not trouble him further at this time."

"Fine!" Tsunade reluctantly agreed.

"I'll visit again tomorrow."

"Tsunade-sama, please follow me."

The attendant led the way, while Mu, who had been hiding behind the gates, quietly returned to report the situation to the Daimyō.

"Master, Tsunade seemed quite anxious. If not for the wise counsel of her companion, she might have stormed in."

The Daimyō sneered. "If she dares to barge in, let her! I would love to see whether the granddaughter of Hashirama Senju truly respects my authority as Daimyō."

Mu remained silent, awaiting further instructions.

"Since she's so impatient, then tomorrow... I shall remain ill. Let's see how this Hokage handles it."

"I am eager to see Tsunade squirm with anxiety."

Regardless of private opinions—whether they despised the Daimyō or not—proper etiquette had to be maintained in his presence.

Rules were rules, and no one could break them.

The Daimyō, exploiting his position, continued his little game with Tsunade, while also waiting to see what further benefits Danzō might offer him.

Guest house.

Tsunade returned to her room in anger and ordered everyone to leave except for Hikari.

"Be honest with me. What do you think of this Daimyō situation?"
