Tsunade Can Hear My Inner Voice novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5 - 5: Jōnin Meeting

[Hm? Why is Tsunade looking at me so eagerly?]

[Is she trying to ask me how to deal with these three old geezers?]

[I already said that dealing with Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu is easy. The real problem is Danzo.]

[But that guy has ten three-tomoe Sharingan as extra lives, not to mention Uchiha Shisui's Mangekyō Sharingan, which allows him to cast the ultimate genjutsu, Kotoamatsukami. That's a real headache!]

[When it comes to Mangekyō Sharingan genjutsu, aside from me, only another Mangekyō can counter it.]

[Honestly, as long as Tsunade takes me in, I'll take care of Danzo later. Helping my wife wouldn't go against my low-key nature, after all. As long as I don't say anything, no one will ever know how strong I am.]

[Even the Byakugan can't see through me—now tell me, aren't you scared?]

Tsunade was stunned.

She naturally knew about the Mangekyō Sharingan.

After all, her grandfather was Uchiha Madara's sworn rival. Before Senju Hashirama died, he told her many secrets about the Mangekyō.

But how did Kamizuki Hikari know about it?

And this guy dares to set his sights on her? If it weren't for the fact that his thoughts are somewhat useful, she'd make sure he spends the rest of his life guarding Konoha's gates.

'Looks like this guy isn't interested in Shizune. Well, she's still young, so I'll just keep her by my side for now.'

(Shizune: Tsunade-sama, at my age, I'm already considered a leftover woman in the shinobi world! You're the legendary Golden Saint, and I don't want to inherit your legacy in this regard.)

'Since Danzo can't be dealt with for now, I'll put him aside. Kamizuki Hikari's analysis is correct. As long as we control the Jonin squad, the ANBU, the intelligence department, and the hospital, we'll have plenty of ways to deal with Danzo later.'

[Huh, these guys arrived pretty fast!]

[Looks like the Jōnin are quite supportive of Tsunade becoming Hokage.]

[As long as we keep an eye on the Mitokado, Sarutobi, Shimura, and Utatane clans, and clean up the ANBU, the Hokage position will truly be secured!]

[At least it's much better than when Minato was in charge!]

Tsunade glanced out the window with a puzzled expression.

Someone's coming?

She hadn't noticed, so how did Kamizuki Hikari sense it?

He didn't even have the Byakugan's perceptive abilities.

It didn't take long before she finally felt the powerful chakra signatures converging on the Hokage Building.

Though she hadn't inherited Senju Tobirama's insane sensory range, she was still far better than most people.

The Senju clan's physique was terrifying.

'Kamizuki Hikari is quite capable. He sensed their approach before I did. It seems his strength isn't just empty boasting—it might be real!'

As this thought crossed her mind, Tsunade's gaze unconsciously landed on Hikari.

[Oh? Tsunade, if you like me this much, just confess already!]

[I won't reject you. Plus, at night, I'll make sure you experience the ultimate pleasure of the human world!]

[Don't be shy! These guys won't arrive for another minute—hurry up and confess!]

"Hikari, why are you looking at me like that? Do you need something?"

"No, Tsunade-sama, I was just wondering if you had something to say to me." _{frёeωebɳovel.com}

"Nothing. Go wait outside. The Jōnin meeting is about to start. It wouldn't be appropriate for you to be here."

[That's it? That's all you had to say?!]

[Tsunade... I won't love you anymore.]

[Even if you beg me in the future, I won't help you. Hmph, I'm that stubborn!]

[Jonin? I wouldn't even bother becoming one. These guys are so weak I could crush them with one hand.]

"Tsunade-sama, then I'll return to my post. Jiraiya-sama is still waiting at the gate."

[I'll let Jiraiya clean up this mess. I scared off Mitokado Homura and Utatane Koharu by pretending to be Senju Tobirama, so my usefulness here is probably done.]

[I'll just stick to guarding Konoha's gate. When Pain attacks in three years, I'll make sure he never gets past me.]

[Of course, if he enters from somewhere else, that's not my problem.]

[After all, I only guard the gate.]
