Chapter 32 - 32: Tsunade''s Late-Night Outing


    [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 nced 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 nced 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, congrattions! 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 woulde 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 y 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, be 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... *Ssh...*


    [Wow, this woman is really relieving herself out here!]


    [Is there now, 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 red 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?!]


    Hearing his inner voice, Tsunade nearly copsed in rage.


    This was just a normal bodily function! But in Kamizuki Hikari''s mind, it had


    somehow be utterly disgusting!


    Of course, she had tissues! Plenty of them!


    What kind of savage did he think she was?!


    Fine! Tomorrow night, I''m slipping somexatives into his food and watching him


    suffer!


    Grumbling internally, Tsunade''s embarrassment slowly faded. She wasn''t a little girl anymore-these kinds of reactions only needed to be brief for the sake of dignity. There was no point dwelling on it.


    Ten minutester.


    Tsunade strode back out, exuding


    an intimidating aura. A smirk p


    on bo


    With


    murderous intent. Coet


    lips, and her eyes


    "Hikari~!"


    "Hmm?"


    "Did you peek just now?"


    Hikari felt insulted.


    "Tsunade-sama, I swear I didn''t!"


    [You were just relieving yourself, not taking a bath. I''m not that perverted. Why


    would I want to see that? I''m not sick!]


    Tsunade''s fist clenched involuntarily, and she ced it heavily on Hikari''s shoulder.


    "Your expression is suspicious. I really want to beat you up right now. Can I?"


    "If you''re asking, then my answer is no!"


    "Don''t worry, I''ll be gentle. I''ll make sure to leave you alive and not cause too much pain."


    "You think I''d believe that nonsense?!"


    Hikari stepped back, then stepped back again, until he stopped.


    Not because he wanted to, but because there was a tree behind him.


    Tsunade in front, a tree behind-this was fate conspiring against him!


    But Hikari was not one to ept fate so easily.


    "Tsunade-sama, do you smell something... foul?"


    A dark vein popped on Tsunade''s forehead as she nced at the nearby bush.


    She let out a "kind" smile.


    "Hikari, in your next life, be a better person."


    Kamizuki Hikari quickly grabbed her wrist. "Tsunade-sama, I have onest thing to


    say. I don''t know if I should say it."


    "Go on. Consider it your final words. I''ll respect them."


    "After you finished just now... did you wash your hands?"


    Tsunade: "???"


    Her brain short-circuited.


    Of all the things she had expected, she never saw thating.


    Where was his sense of decorum?!


    She was still his superior, yet he dared to ask something like that?!


    She clenched her fist and turned.


    Taking advantage of Tsunade''s momentary distraction, Hikari


    switched positions with her, pin


    her against the tree in a ssic "wall m" pose.


    "Tsunade-sama, you asked me to protect you, yet you''re repaying kindness with


    hostility. I really misjudged you."


    [Wow, this softness is truly amazing.]


    [Too bad I can''t enjoy it for long-Tsunade is about to explode.]


    Knowing when to retreat, Hikari quickly stepped back and released her wrist.


    "I swear I didn''t look. But judging by how mad you are... could it be you''re angry


    because I didn''t look?"


    Tsunade: "Am I mad because of that?!"


    She was mad because of his utterck of respect!


    But exining that would expose her ability to hear his thoughts, and if he found


    out, he''d run for the hills.


    "You... forget it. Just don''t tell anyone about what happened, got it?"


    Kamizuki Hikari raised his hand in a vow. "I swear I won''t say a word!"


    As for what others might say about us, that''s not my problem!
