Tsunade Can Hear My Inner Voice novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44 - 44: Brothers Talk

The three of them headed out cheerfully. Hagane Kotetsu, being tactful, walked a bit to the side, leaving space for the Kamizuki brothers.

Unlike Kamizuki Izumo, who seemed preoccupied with his thoughts, Hikari was focused on shopping. Cute accessories, beautifully packaged snacks—anything a girl might like, he bought them all.

"Hey, Hikari, I'm really curious—do you still plan on bringing a wife into the Kamizuki family?" Izumo couldn't help but ask.

"Why are you bringing this up? You know me, big bro. Meanwhile, you've pretty much hit your peak as a Special Jonin."

"You've already completed half the journey of 'settling down and starting a family'. So, when do you plan to tackle the 'family' part?"

His attempt to pressure Hikari backfired, and the question was turned on him instead.

Hearing this, Izumo had no mood to think about anything else. His expression turned a little awkward. "Well... I don't even know what kind of person I'm looking for."

Hikari gave him a disdainful look. Even though Izumo was his older brother, Hikari had always been someone who wouldn't hesitate to call things out as he saw them.

When it was time to mock, he never held back.

"Cut the act. Let me ask you—do you like that type?" Hikari pointed at a rather plump woman, weighing over two hundred pounds(90+ kg) and standing at just five feet(1.5m) tall.

Izumo took one look and immediately turned away.

That was an eye-burning sight.

"Uh... I think, for the sake of the Kamizuki family, we should have some standards, don't you think, Hikari?"

Even though Hikari was the younger brother, the one holding more authority at home was him, not Izumo.

Don't ask why. The answer was simple: the elder brother was humble and considerate of his younger brother.

"Alright, we share the same surname, so there's no need to be shy. The face doesn't need to be stunning, but the figure shouldn't be too bad. Personality-wise, she should be kind, know how to take care of people... How do these sound, big bro?"

Izumo nodded in agreement. "Not bad. That's exactly what I was thinking."

"Then what do you think about Shizune?"

"You mean Kato Shizune? Tsunade-sama's assistant?"

"Who else could I be talking about?"

"Well..." Izumo hesitated.

Hikari patted his brother's shoulder. "If you have something to say, say it. Can't you see Kotetsu is waiting for me to help him, too? I was even considering bringing back a couple of women for you from the Daimyo's court, but Tsunade-sama didn't quite approve."

"Cough, cough!" Kotetsu quickly shuffled over.

"Hikari, I'm as close as a brother to Izumo, and you're his actual brother. That means we're practically brothers too! Since Tsunade-sama won't let you buy women for Izumo... how about buying me a couple instead? I'll pay you back later!"

The moment the topic shifted to women, Kotetsu's energy instantly surged.

It just went to show how universally appealing the subject was to men.

"Kotetsu, two women? Are you sure you can handle that?" Hikari wasn't the least bit troubled by Kotetsu joining in.

Kotetsu thumped his chest confidently. "Come on! Two women is me keeping a low profile, got it?"

"Alright then, go ask Tsunade-sama. If she agrees, I'll get them for you!" Hikari smirked.

Hearing this, Kotetsu instantly deflated.

"Forget it... Tsunade-sama is resting right now. I better not disturb her."

Tsunade might seem easygoing, but she was still the Fifth Hokage. Aside from Kamizuki Hikari, who was an exception, even someone like Maito Gai would behave himself in front of her.
