Chapter 14 Eating barbecue, heart disease

thump—

A pile of books slammed down in front of Yue Le.

"Boy, old man Danzo asked me to teach you medical ninjutsu. As your sister, I will not refuse... But! Since you want to learn medical ninjutsu, you can't give up halfway!"

"These books are all about learning the basics of medical ninjutsu. I'll give you a month to memorize them. Do you hear me?"

Tsunade sat leisurely on the chair, crossing her legs, her flip-flops swinging back and forth, her eyes showing some impatience and a hint of teasing.

This kid's painful expression when he was learning the written language was really funny. But if you want to teach one sheep, you have to teach it, and if you want to drive two sheep, you have to drive them, so you might as well just take one more.

Yes, there is a little girl around Tsunade recently, a shy girl named Shizune.

This child is about the same age as Yue Le, and is Kato Dan's niece. She is also Tsunade's thoughts on Kato Dan...

However, considering Tsunade's lazy nature, it is still unclear whether it is Tsunade who takes care of Shizune or Shizune who takes care of Tsunade.

"Okay, sister."

Yue Le's smile remained on her face, and she just said "oh" calmly.

He picked up books that were taller than him. It must be said that after so much training, Yue Le's physical fitness was still very good. At least he picked up these books without any effort.

He turned around and walked towards his room, but his face looked a little sad.

God knows how painful it was for me when I first started learning this world language. I couldn’t understand a word and had to face those books every day. Oh my god!

"Okay, move the books back to your bedroom. I'll take you to eat barbecue later."

Tsunade had a teasing look on her face as she looked at Yuele, who seemed to have a dark cloud over his head and was bent over by the pressure. This child always brought her some joy.

"Hey~~! Yeah! Sister is the best!"

The cloudy sky turned into sunny, and the dejected Yuele instantly regained his original vitality. For a moment, he walked with the wind. When the Root members passing by saw this, they knew that Lady Tsunade came to find Yuele again.

Only when Tsunade comes to the Root will Yuele show this expression. After all, she is the only one who brings food to Yuele.

........

The weather today is not good. It is covered with dark clouds, as if a heavy rain will come in the next moment. A feeling of heat makes the villagers of Konoha feel uncomfortable.

But Yue Le didn't feel anything at all.

"Shizune, let's eat up sister soon! Wakakakaka!"

"Yukaku! Lady Tsunade is very poor! We can't do this!"

Jingyin's face turned red as she righteously criticized Yue Le's bad words.

Tsunade watched the two little guys bickering, and the smile in her eyes never stopped.

"Good boy, if you can eat me up, you'll be awesome!"

"Hehe, just look at me!"

Yuele is ambitious and motivated to eat a lot.

......

"My Lords, the barbecue is placed here for you. Please enjoy it slowly."

At this time, the waiter brought the barbecue ordered by Yue Le and others.

"A few more bottles of soju!"

"Okay sir."

Soon, the table was filled with fragrance. Tsunade was drinking wine alone, with a slightly satisfied look in her eyes.

"Haha, this kind of life is so wonderful, if only you were here..."

As if she was sighing or lamenting, Tsunade's face showed a little loneliness for a moment.

"Kid, do you want to drink something?"

Suddenly, Tsunade picked up the wine glass and handed it to Yue Le who was eating heartily beside her. Her cheeks were flushed and it was obvious that she was a little drunk.

“Eh——!”

"Lady Tsunade! Yuele is still a child! You can't do this!"

Before Yue Le could say anything, Shizune on the side immediately got furious. She stood up angrily, put one hand on her waist, stretched out her chubby little hand, and righteously rejected Tsunade's unreasonable invitation.

"That...I..."

Before he could finish his words, Yue Le was suddenly startled by a figure outside the window.

"Teacher, why are you here?"

"Here, teacher, this is delicious, want to try it?"

Picking up a piece of roasted pork belly that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, Yue Le began to show her courtesy.

Orochimaru shook his head, looked at Tsunade, took the shochu in front of Tsunade and started drinking it.

"Haha, drinking alone is so boring, let me drink with you."

There was a smile on the pale face, but Yue Le inexplicably felt that the atmosphere at this moment was a little weird.

"cut..."

Tsunade didn't respond, but just opened another bottle of wine and started drinking.

"Tsunade, you are one of the few friends I have left."

"..."

The topic seemed to have taken a turn in an unexpected direction...

"What do you want to say?"

Tsunade paused as she handed the wine to her mouth, her eyes a little confused. She didn't know what Orochimaru meant by this sentence, or rather, she felt a little strange that Orochimaru, this otaku, would actually come to find her.

"There are more than just rope trees and broken..."

Hearing this, Tsunade, who originally had a little doubt on her face, became furious like a lion whose tail was stepped on, and smashed the wine glass in her hand at Orochimaru.

"If you want to drink, drink. If not, get out!"

He caught it steadily and poured the half-spilled wine into his throat. The spicy feeling made Orochimaru feel dizzy, and his originally pale face turned a little red.

"War doesn't treat you differently because of your mental illness."

He didn't stop, but his language became even more intense.

"Heart disease?"

Yue Le and Jing Yin, who were standing aside in such an atmosphere, didn't even breathe a breath. At this moment, Jing Yin had a piece of grilled meat wrapped in lettuce in her mouth, and her little face was chubby, just like a little squirrel.

Yue Le suddenly had the goal of studying medical ninjutsu. The two looked at each other tacitly, and it seemed that they could see the determination to learn medical ninjutsu in each other's eyes.

"For Sister Tsunade!"

"For Lady Tsunade!"

This is our bond!

"If you're here to laugh at me, you can leave now!"

He had a bad look on his face, with wisps of hot air coming out of his head, as if he would overturn the table and start a fight in the next second.

"call..."

Orochimaru breathed a sigh of relief. He was indeed not a good speaker.

"I still hope you will think about it carefully. This is not a terminal illness..."

At this point, Orochimaru stopped, reached out and touched Yuele's head, but his eyes were fixed on Tsunade.

"Even if not for yourself."

He let go, picked up the wine cup, and took a sip, but his brows did not relax, and his golden pupils were full of sincerity.

"Sister, ah~ This piece of meat was specially reserved for you by Shizune! It is roasted very well."

"Teacher, don't just drink, eat some meat!"

When the atmosphere became tense, two childish voices interrupted their conversation.

Looking at the innocent eyes of Yuele and Shizune, Tsunade's original anger seemed to be doused by a basin of water, and she was dazed for a moment.

The atmosphere at the scene did indeed ease a little.

Why did I raise Shizune in the first place?

Tsunade couldn't help but fall into memories. At first, it was because Kato Dan had only this niece, who had no father or mother and no one to take care of her. Some of the reason was because of the relationship with Kato Dan, but Tsunade didn't know.

In my mind, I recalled the days when Shizune learned to take care of her at a young age...

And there's that little bastard Yue Le, who has the same hair color as Sheng Shu and always takes care of his emotions at critical moments. How much of that is because of his nostalgia for Sheng Shu?

You have to know that bringing Yuele back to the village was not as easy as it appeared on the surface, otherwise Jiraiya would not still be staying in the Rain Country until now.

Without his help, Orochimaru would have faced a lot of difficulties facing the pressure and questioning from the elders and teachers on his own.

It was indeed because of Rope Tree that I softened my heart a little, which led to Yuele joining the village and being trained by Danzo. It was the result of many compromises.

It seems that I have sunk too deep into memories...

Tsunade no longer wanted to know how Orochimaru knew about her hemophobia, but looking at Orochimaru's attitude today, Tsunade suddenly felt a little aggrieved for no reason.

"This guy..."

"Guest, here are your dishes."

At this time, the clerk who noticed the new customer brought a new set of bowls and chopsticks, but was rejected by Orochimaru. He slowly stood up, turned around and walked out of the store. He still had a lot of things to do.

If he hadn't known that Tsunade suffered from hemophobia, he wouldn't have taken the time to come and watch them eat barbecue.

As he said, Tsunade is one of his few friends, and he would say this even if it was out of concern for his friend.

Otherwise, how can we expect that old perverted, drunkard, straight man Jiraiya who is still in the Rain Country to remember to help Tsunade get rid of her inner demons?

Just kidding bro...

"Sister, I will always be here!"

"Tsunade-sama! Shizune will not leave you!"

Two voices sounded at the same time, lingering in Tsunade's ears.

Tsunade lowered her head and looked at Yuele and Shizune who were staring at her with determination. She suddenly felt her eyes become a little moist. She quickly drank a glass of wine to suppress the moisture and wiped away the marks at the corners of her eyes so that the two would not notice anything.

"You two little brats..."

"Eat your barbecue, really..."

Although she said this, Tsunade's tone was obviously gentler.

At this time, Orochimaru stopped at the door and turned around.

"Tsunade!"

Hearing Orochimaru calling her, Tsunade raised her head.

Boom——

A loud thunder flashed across the sky, and the pale lightning illuminated the entire world, making Orochimaru look pale. Only his golden vertical pupils remained, without the coldness of the past.

"We're always here, I promise..."

The sound was somewhat drowned out by the thunder, and the heavy rain that washed the earth poured down, blurring everything that could be seen, including the thin figure that disappeared in the rain.

"Always...always here?"

"hehe..."
