Chapter 21 Night Talk

Akimichi Genbu coaxed Tsunade all the way and finally sent her back to the Senju residence.

He was quite familiar with the process. He gently put the sleeping Tsunade on the bed, covered her with a quilt, and placed a cup of warm water on the bedside table. When Senju Nawaki was not paying attention, he scratched Tsunade's nose and quickly retreated.

Senju Nawaki, who was leaning against the door frame, suddenly said, "Senior Xuanwu, do you like my sister?"

When Akimichi Xuanwu heard this, he was caught off guard and almost tripped over the threshold.

He quickly held onto the door frame to stand firm, and argued, "What nonsense are you talking about? She is my teacher, and isn't it my duty as a disciple to take care of my teacher? You little brat, what do you know about liking or not liking something?"

"Oh, I saw you taking such good care of my sister, and I thought you were interested in her." Senju Nawaki said disapprovingly.

"You little brat, don't talk nonsense next time. If your sister hears you, she will beat you again."

When Qian Shou Sheng Shu heard the word "beat", he couldn't help but think of some terrible scenes and shuddered. Then he advised Xuan Wu, "Senior Xuan Wu, I'm telling you, you must not like my sister. She is a mess except for her appearance.

She has a violent personality and gets violent at the slightest provocation. She is not a lady at all. Not only can she not cook, but she also loves to drink and gets drunk. Most importantly, she loves to gamble and always loses. What family can withstand such a torment from her? Whoever marries my sister in the future will be unlucky."

"Teacher Tsunade is not as useless as you say." Akimichi Genbu retorted weakly.

"It'll be worse than what I said!!!"

"Haha, it looks like Shengshu has suffered a lot."

"That's right. She always bullied me since I was little. She also cheated me out of my pocket money and used it to gamble, saying that she would return it tenfold if I won. But every time, she lost everything. When I asked her for money, she not only refused to give it to me, but also beat me up. Oh, it makes me cry just talking about it."

"That Rope Tree-kun has really worked hard."

It is true that no sister can be a good person in the eyes of her younger brother.

Xuanwu came out of the west wing and saw Uzumaki Mito lying on a rocking chair in the courtyard with his eyes closed, so he walked over.

"Mito-sama, you won't be able to sleep if you drink tea so late at night."

"It's Mr. Xuanwu. Is Xiaosong drunk again today?" Uzumaki Mito opened his eyes and said to Xuanwu with a smile.

"Yes, at the dinner today, Tsunade-sensei and Sakumo-senpai were betting on drinking, and she was drunk again. You should keep her in check."

Xuanwu sat down next to Uzumaki Mito, poured himself a cup of tea, and complained to Mito.

It can be said that Tsunade always gets drunk whenever she drinks. She would restrain herself before going home, staying a little sober (Jiraiya is too lustful, and Tsunade was afraid that he would touch her when she was drunk, but Orochimaru didn't care at all).

Ever since Xuanwu became her disciple, he has almost become her personal human mount. Tsunade has become even more unscrupulous and would drink herself unconscious every time. In just a few months, Xuanwu Akimichi has sent her back seven or eight times. As a result, she has become a close friend of Uzumaki Mito, regardless of their age difference.

"I will reprimand her, but I'm not sure whether she will listen or not."

"It's bad for her health to drink like this. She's a doctor, but she doesn't know how to control herself. I can't do anything about her."

At this time, Uzumaki Mito spoke faintly, "Xuanwu-kun, do you like Tsuna?"

Hearing this, Akimichi Genbu's eyes widened, and he froze in his chair as if he had been cast into a freezing spell. It took him more than ten seconds to react before he stood up and argued for himself, "Mito-sama, what are you saying? I'm only 15 years old, and Tsunade-sensei is 4 years older than me. How is this possible? How could I fall in love with her? We are just a master-disciple relationship, please don't let your imagination run wild."

Uzumaki Mito said nothing, just stared at Akimichi Genbu, making him feel creepy.

Just when he was about to give up, Mito spoke again, "Fifteen is not young. In our era, people started talking about marriage at the age of fourteen. Hashirama confessed his love to me when he was twelve, and he even kissed me when I was not paying attention. You didn't do anything shameful to Tsuna, did you?"

Uzumaki Mito's eyes became extremely dangerous.

"No, absolutely not. I swear to God that I have never kissed Teacher Tsunade." Akimichi Genbu quickly explained, thinking that scratching her nose did not count as kissing.

Mito said again: "Although Xuanwu-kun is only 15 years old, he doesn't look like 15 years old in terms of physical age or mental age. Compared with you, I feel that Xiaotsuna is more like a child who never grows up. So Xuanwu-kun, please don't use age and seniority to evade me."

Looking at Mito's eyes, which were a little cloudy but could still see through everything, Akimichi Genbu had nothing to say. He sat back in his seat and lowered his head.

"Mr. Xuanwu has agreed."

"When did Mito-sama find out?"

Akimichi Genbu thought he had hidden it well, and no one else noticed. They all thought it was the disciple's duty to take care of Tsunade, such an unreliable master, and they were all envious of Tsunade for having such a good disciple.

He was very curious about how Uzumaki Mito could tell.

"It's very simple. The way you looked at Tsunade was exactly the same as the way Hashirama looked at me. Although you tried your best to hide it, you could fool others, but you couldn't fool me. In addition, you took great care of Tsunade. Rather than saying she was your teacher, she was more like your princess. If I can't see it, then there's something fishy going on."

"You don't object? You know my identity. Half of the blood of sin flows in my body."

Uzumaki Mito smiled, "If I cared, I would never let you get so close to Tsunade. On the contrary, you, don't you hate Tsunade? You should know that her second grandfather, Tobirama, killed your grandfather. If it wasn't for this, your mother wouldn't have been bullied."

"Mito-sama, those who have passed away, if we continue to hold on to the hatred of the past, there will be no Konoha today.

Besides, it was not the Senju clan that caused my mother's tragedy, but her own clan members. If I take my anger out on Tsunade because of this, then how am I any different from those Uchiha who excluded, suppressed and humiliated my mother? In other words, if I don't even have this much tolerance, I don't deserve to say I like her."

"Ah, it would be nice if Tobirama was still here, so he would know that not all Uchiha are paranoid. Hashirama and Tobirama had a lot of arguments over this matter."

Uzumaki Mito then stopped lamenting the past and changed the subject, "Xuanwu-kun, can I ask you for a favor?"

"Mister Mito, your words are too kind. Please feel free to speak."

"You have already opened your Sharingan, right? There's no need to hide it. I'm from the Uzumaki clan. I can sense your strong mental power and chakra."

"It turns out that you can't hide anything." Akimichi Xuanwu did not deny it, but took off his goggles, revealing his cursed eyes.

"Then you must have known the secret of my body for a long time."

"I can only see an extremely powerful chakra that is even stronger than the Third Hokage's and extremely evil. It has been lurking in your abdomen, and almost all of your own chakra is used to suppress this evil chakra."

Akimichi Genbu did not speak directly.

"That's the Kyuubi."

"Nani, are you saying that the chakra in your body is the Calamity Nine-Tails? How is this possible!"

Akimichi Xuanwu pretended to be shocked.

"Nothing is impossible. It was sealed into my body after the battle of the Valley of the End. It has been more than 20 years now."

"But with all due respect, from my observation, your current condition is not particularly good, and the Nine-Tailed Fox may break the seal at any time."

"Don't worry, as long as I'm alive, it won't cause any trouble. I will never allow it to destroy Hashirama's hard work."

Uzumaki Mito placed her right hand on her stomach, her eyes were extremely determined, and one could vaguely see a hint of the strong charm she had when she was young.

"But my life is coming to an end soon. Monkey, your Third Hokage, has found a new container for the Nine-Tails and will send her to Konoha soon.

She is a member of the Uzumaki clan just like me. What I want to ask of you is that after I die, please take good care of her. I will tell Monkey about this. She will live with you in the future. I hope you can become her relative and fill in the love she lacks, okay?"

"But that's the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, and I have Uchiha blood in my body. Will the Third-Kai agree?"

"He can't disagree. The disobedient monkey will be spanked."

When Uzumaki Mito said this, he was full of domineering aura, but the Third Hokage who was far away in the Hokage office building suddenly shuddered and said, "Alas, it's getting cold. I need to put on more clothes."

"Do you trust me so much? Mito-sama, isn't it a bit hasty to hand over the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to me like this?"

"I trust my own eyes and my own judgment."

Akimichi Genbu thought for a long time. There are many advantages to taking care of the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki, but there are also many disadvantages. Not to mention the many disadvantages, he will definitely be subject to various supervisions. If he has any abnormal behavior, he will definitely attract Sarutobi Hiruzen and that dog Danzo.

After thinking it over again and again, he finally couldn't resist the temptation to study the Nine-Tailed Fox and nodded in agreement, "I promise you, I will take good care of her. You really gave me a difficult problem."

"Haha, then we have a deal." Uzumaki Mito was obviously very happy when he heard Akimichi Genbu's agreement.

"By the way, I thought you were going to ask me to take care of Tsunade and Nawaki."

"I don't need to ask you for this. I believe you will do a good job. Isn't this what you should do?" Uzumaki Mito smiled mischievously.

"Mister Mito, you are too cunning." Akimichi Xuanwu smiled helplessly, "But I promise you that I will take good care of Tsunade, and I will also protect Nawaki."
