After all, "leaving blank spaces" can sometimes be a plus in memories.
[Silent lowered her head and obediently sat back down.]
[But... Tuntun is no longer in my arms.]
Oh~
[It turns out he got up abruptly in his nervousness.]
[I accidentally dropped the piglet.]
[Dolphin: "..."]
[Are we really going to start stockpiling grain today?]
[Tuntun crawled to Naruto's feet, whimpered, and then silently nestled against Naruto's feet, no longer daring to approach Shizune.]
(Due to caching issues, please visit the website "Read Novels Every Day" on APP.com for the fastest chapter updates.)
[Since her attention wasn't on this, she naturally didn't notice Ton-Ton's gaze.]
Yamanaka Ino: "Pfft~"
Ino Yamanaka: "What an adorable little pig~"
Outside Konoha Village.
Shizune looked at Tun Tun, who had turned her head away, with some embarrassment.
"TunTun, that's me in the black-framed world, not... cough cough, I promise, I would never do that to you~!"
"Tun~Tun~!" Tun Tun blinked, looking at her with a suspicious expression.
Then I looked up at the large screen with its black border.
Upon seeing Naruto on the large black-framed screen, it tilted its pig-like head.
It smells...it smells so good!
That person must be very gentle~
Even the little pig is a bit envious of itself in the black-framed world.
The large screen with its black border continues to display the image:
[Mute.]
Even if it were true, it wouldn't matter.
"You are you."
"Besides, you've been with me for so many years."
"Lady Tsunade..." Shizune murmured, tears welling in her eyes.
She knew that Tsunade's words represented her deepest thoughts.
Therefore, taking the blame now would only anger Tsunade.
Tsunade shook her head and sighed.
[A long silence followed.]
Finally, she was ready to face everything.
[Things I had never noticed before kept flashing through my mind... and things that came to mind later.]
"This couldn't have been done by the old man."
["Danzo...Shimura Danzo!"]
The killing intent in Tsunade's eyes was almost tangible.
[Shizune took a deep breath and said, "Shimura Danzo's obsession is the position of Hokage."]
"And the Third Hokage... Hiruzen Sarutobi." Shizune didn't even call him Hokage anymore.
"After all, Hiruzen Sarutobi was Tsunade-sama's former teacher."
"In comparison, it might know something about Lady Tsunade."
"Therefore, Uncle Dan's matter... must be related to Shimura Danzo."
"However, Hiruzen Sarutobi definitely knows about this."
Seeing that Shizune had also spoken, Naruto raised an eyebrow.
At this moment, his nostrils were filled with the aroma of fragrance and alcohol.
The temperature of the beautiful girl in my arms was also rising steadily.
Clearly, the alcohol is kicking in quickly.
"Sister Shizune is right, and we can't rule out one possibility."
[Naruto suddenly spoke.]
The two women immediately looked at him.
"A double agent."
Double agent?!
The deeper we dig, the more alarming it becomes.
Tsunade was so angry that her chest heaved rapidly.
But now it's "cooled down."
[She was so agitated.]
[Inevitable...]
Tsunade curled up even deeper.
[Blushing, he exclaimed, "Damn it!"]
["how so?!"]
[Silent eyes slightly lowered.]
"Lady Tsunade...Lord Naruto makes a lot of sense."
"In fact, the possibility of a double agent is... even greater."
Tsunade stammered in response.
[Shizune clearly didn't know that Tsunade's exclamation wasn't about that.]
"Lady Tsunade, continuing from what Lord Naruto just said."
"Because you've once again made a name for yourself in the medical field."
"His reputation in this area has reached unprecedented heights."
"Even if Hiruzen Sarutobi knows you have no ambition for the Hokage position... what about the inevitable trend of the times?"
"Therefore, it's quite reasonable for them to know about Danzo's actions and tacitly approve of them, or even allow Uncle Dan to become a double agent."
"Then... it's basically certain."
[The silence paused for a long while.]
"Uncle Duan, he deliberately approached you... especially when you were at your most vulnerable..."
["Feel sorry."]
"Damn it!" Tsunade was furious, but immediately suppressed her anger.
She's still relatively clear-headed.
[But in reality, on the other hand, they're already on the verge of panicking and making rash decisions.]
[Rationality is constantly being influenced by negative emotions such as hatred and anger.]
[There is also another aspect: a feeling that goes straight to the soul.]
Fortunately, Naruto always managed to stay close at the finish line.
Otherwise, Tsunade would have jumped up already.
"It's nothing!" Tsunade's tone was a little off.
[Since she was silent, she didn't notice.]
She was filled with self-reproach.
"But... Lady Tsunade... because of Uncle Dan..."
"It's nothing, I only gave away my great-grandfather's pendant... because he also wants to become Hokage, heh~"
"But in the end, we got it back." Tsunade's tone held a hint of self-deprecation.
"But... Lady Tsunade, what I meant was... was..."
"Idiot!" Tsunade's tone suddenly became impatient.
But she quickly forced herself to return to normal.
"Back then, my focus was entirely on the medical field, which meant I consistently advised the village to train systematic medical ninja warriors, and so on."
"Make medical ninjas an essential member of the team when carrying out missions."
"With Nawaki's death...it's been affecting me so much that I simply can't think about anything else."
"So, from the beginning, I had already decided that we would consider everything else after the war, once things had settled down."
[Mute's eyes widened slightly.]
"So...that's how it is?"
Tsunade frowned slightly and scolded, "Idiot! What do you take me for?"
"I am Tsunade-hime!"
"She's also the granddaughter of the God of Ninjas!"
"How could it be so convenient?"
"Besides, as I just said, I wasn't completely unaware of anything unusual about the whole thing!"
Tsunade kept speaking.
[Quite admirable; those involved are often blinded, while bystanders see things clearly.]
[I couldn't hear the silent part.]
But Naruto vaguely felt... that Tsunade was explaining things to him.
Naruto was genuinely surprised.
How can they be so obedient and compliant?
[The thought had just formed in his mind when Naruto suddenly remembered something...]
[Turn your head to look.]
His gaze settled on the bottle of sake on the table.
The nose twitched.
Okay... I didn't smell anything special, just a lot of fragrance.
Just then.
A small, fair hand came into view.
[After grabbing the bottle, he immediately pulled it back.]
Naruto was somewhat taken aback.
Immediately afterwards, a "thump-thump-thump" sound came from beside my ears.
Still want to drink?!
[etc! ]
There seems to be movement behind me.
Looking back.
Seeing Tsunade reach for a bottle of wine, Shizune couldn't resist opening one for herself...
The alcohol is problematic!
P.S.: I've been so busy lately... I managed to squeeze in some time to write this, and I keep posting it... I need to go sweep and mop the floor again soon...
Damn it, Labor Day disguised as the Spring Festival!
Happy Lunar New Year's Eve!
