Kiyoshi countered with a question, his fingers sliding down her hair, lightly touching a small patch of bare skin on the back of her neck in her nurse's uniform. The cool touch made Tsunade tremble slightly.
"Humph."
Tsunade gave a soft hum, trying to mask her racing heartbeat with fierceness, but her body unconsciously moved half a step closer to him, as if attracted by that slight coolness.
She didn't feel any dislike.
How could Jiraiya compare to Kiyoshi?
"I'm just wondering, how did that kid who needed to be taken care of on the battlefield become... like this?"
Her voice gradually lowered, tinged with a complex mix of emotions.
Kiyoshi didn't answer her question. Instead, taking advantage of her closeness, he naturally wrapped his arm around her waist, his palms embracing her warm and soft waist through the thin fabric of her nurse's uniform.
With her other hand, she picked up the wine glass she had just used.
"The wine is good."
He commented, but his gaze remained fixed on her face.
"uh-huh."
Tsunade nodded.
Of course, how could her taste be bad?
But then she watched as Kiyoshi, with her lipstick mark still on his lips, drank the rest of the wine in his glass in one gulp.
Her eyes widened immediately.
This brat... how could he do this!
Unhygienic!
Tsunade wanted to say that, but before she could speak, Kiyoshi added:
"The lipstick smells nice too."
"Kid!"
Tsunade was somewhat embarrassed and angry, and reached out to snatch the cup, but he easily dodged it.
As she moved, she almost leaned into his arms, the fabric of her nurse's uniform stretched even tighter, and her knees, wrapped in white silk, unconsciously pressed against his side.
Kiyoshi lowered his head, getting close to her ear, his warm breath brushing against her earlobe.
"Tsunade-sensei, I'm just thirsty, can't I even quench my thirst?"
Kiyoshi's breath, carrying the aroma of sake, enveloped the area.
Tsunade felt the burning heat on her waist where his palm was pressed against her, and the tingling sensation on her ears from his breath. Her body, which had been relaxed due to the slight intoxication, tensed up a bit.
"There are also cups here."
Tsunade gently pushed Kiyoshi away, took out a cup, and poured him some wine.
"Speaking of which, Tsunade-sensei's alcohol tolerance is probably not as good as mine."
Qingsi said calmly.
His physical strength is undeniable; it's impossible for Tsunade to compete with him in drinking.
"Are you feeling smug, kid?"
Tsunade was shocked; Kiyoshi was challenging her authority.
So she took a swig of wine and stared intently at Kiyoshi.
After a breath, Tsunade leaned forward and kissed Kiyoshi.
Tsunade's eyes, shimmering like autumn water, met Kiyoshi's dark pupils.
At close range, Tsunade felt as if her whole body was being sucked in.
"Tsunade-sensei, your alcohol tolerance is indeed not very good."
After a long while, Kiyoshi looked up.
That one cup wasn't enough.
"It has to be like this."
After he finished speaking, the warm yellow light in the room began to fall in a staggered pattern.
The night outside was peaceful.
The winding, twisting shadows seemed to be intertwined with each other, eventually turning into an even deeper darkness.
……
On the main street of Konoha.
"Shizune."
Jiraiya's expression was unreadable.
Shizune is Tsunade's disciple, so Jiraiya is very familiar with her.
"Jiraiya-sama."
Silent opening.
At this moment, she obeyed Lady Tsunade's order and went to buy a batch of limited edition alcoholic beverages.
Because we only bought a small amount of goods, we had to queue up in advance.
Unexpectedly, they ran into Jiraiya on the road.
"Where is Tsunade? I have something important to tell her."
Jiraiya frowned.
Rumors about Kato Dan's resurrection had been circulating in the village for a long time, which Jiraiya initially did not believe.
Later, through his continuous investigation and intelligence gathering, he discovered that this was indeed the case.
So, what will Tsunade's attitude be?
Jiraiya was also concerned about this matter.
He cannot tolerate anyone betraying the village, not even Tsunade.
This was Jiraiya's resolve, the resolve of a Konoha ninja.
"Lady Tsunade is at home."
Silent lane.
At this time of day, Tsunade would usually have a few drinks.
For some reason, Shizune noticed that Tsunade's skin seemed to be getting better and better.
It was so good that even she was a little envious.
As a woman, who wouldn't want to be more beautiful?
This sparked Shizune's interest in learning the "Yin Seal." In her opinion, Tsunade's beautiful skin was due to her mastery of the "Yin Seal."
"I see."
Jiraiya nodded and then headed towards Tsunade's house.
"Strange, what brings Lord Jiraiya here so late?"
The mute function is baffling.
"Never mind, let's go queue up first."
Silent quickened her pace.
If you fail to complete Tsunade's mission, Lady Tsunade is not easy to deal with when she gets angry.
Jiraiya arrived at Tsunade's house quickly.
He stood downstairs and didn't go up immediately.
Jiraiya was still struggling with his inner thoughts.
The news that Kiyoshi faced an unfamiliar enemy today has already spread.
Jiraiya also went to Konoha Hospital to check on Minato Namikaze's injuries.
Even Minato Namikaze lost like this, which means that the enemy must be very difficult to deal with.
Dealing with such indiscriminate attacks as poisonous fog, Minato Namikaze also had to consider not accidentally harming other villagers, which was indeed quite difficult for him.
This incident also served as a wake-up call for Jiraiya.
What if Kato Dan, like this enemy, turns around and attacks Konoha?
Jiraiya didn't want Tsunade to betray them in the future.
His own feelings toward Kato Dan were also complex, a mixture of camaraderie and regret.
Of course, at a deeper level, there was also jealousy.
After all, Tsunade was the woman he loved most, but at that time, Dan Kato had a good relationship with Tsunade.
It's at least better than his relationship with Tsunade.
"By lit candles?"
Jiraiya noticed that there seemed to be two shadows intertwined on the curtains in Tsunade's house.
He did not release his chakra to sense anything.
That would definitely be discovered by Tsunade, who would think she was spying on me again.
He'll likely have several more ribs broken and his internal organs shattered.
Jiraiya intends to be serious on this occasion and not do anything out of line.
He kept thinking down how to tell Tsunade about this.
Just as I was mentally prepared, the shadow on the curtain paused briefly before disappearing completely.
Bang bang.
Finally, with a feeling of unease, Jiraiya went up and knocked on the door.
He prayed inwardly that he would not hear a bad answer.
"Yo, Jiraiya, what brings you here?"
Tsunade opened the door, revealing a heavy coat that covered her figure completely, making it look like winter clothing.
Jiraiya was about to say something when he suddenly saw Kiyoshi inside.
"you?"
Jiraiya's first thought was that Kiyoshi was also discussing this matter with Tsunade.
He was unaware that Kiyoshi had already obtained the answer to this matter from Tsunade, and mistakenly believed that Kiyoshi had come because of his status as Hokage.
"us……"
Tsunade's expression tightened slightly.
What reason could she possibly give?
"You must be discussing Kato Dan's matter."
Jiraiya noticed the unnaturalness on Tsunade's face.
"Ok?"
Tsunade was stunned.
"Don't underestimate my intelligence network, Tsunade."
Seeing that Tsunade didn't seem to be about to attack, Jiraiya felt a little relieved.
"You can't hide anything from Jiraiya."
Qingsi smiled.
"You've drunk that much?"
