Chapter 30 Tsunade's Concerns

Two days passed and they had crossed most of the Rain Kingdom and the Bird Kingdom. In another half day they would reach the border of the Stone Kingdom.

But when resting in the inn at night, Tsunade felt inexplicably sad. She didn't eat many bites of the meal, and she didn't even take a few sips of her new favorite alcoholic drink (a new drink developed by Xuanwu to help Tsunade quit drinking. Tsunade had previously disdained it, but since she couldn't drink alcohol while on a mission, Xuanwu took the opportunity to promote it. As a result, Tsunade did not escape the law of true fragrance) before going back to the room to rest.

Hatake Sakumo asked curiously, "What happened to Tsunade?"

Hinata Ito made his own guess, "Could it be her period?"

Akimichi Genbu shook his head. How could he not know Tsunade's menstrual period? It was still many days away.

He opened the window and looked towards the direction of the Land of Fire, but all he saw were mountains in front of him. He closed his eyes in pain, turned around and said to the two of them, "There must be some other reason. Teacher Tsunade didn't eat much. I'll go make some food and send it to her."

Then, without waiting for the two to reply, he went to the hotel kitchen.

......

"Dong dong dong."

There was a knock on Tsunade's door, but no one came to open it.

Xuanwu opened the door himself and walked in carrying the food box. There was no light in the house, and the moonlight coming in through the window cast a layer of coldness over the room.

Tsunade huddled up in a chair in front of the window, hugging her knees with her hands. She was unmoved by the coming of Xuanwu. Her beautiful eyes stared in the direction of Konoha, as if she wanted to cross thousands of miles to confirm that the person in her heart was safe before she would feel at ease.

Xuanwu didn't disturb her. He moved a table and put her favorite dishes on the table.

After he prepared everything, he said softly to Tsunade: "Teacher, these are all made by me especially for you. Eat some. I can't let all my hard work go to waste."

Tsunade turned around and asked, "Xuanwu-kun, have you ever experienced the pain of losing a loved one?"

Xuanwu pulled a chair and sat opposite Tsunade, "Well, my father died before I was born, and my mother also left me three days after I was born, but I was still ignorant at that time and did not experience the pain of losing my mother.

Later, Uncle Qufeng and Aunt Sanae raised me and took care of me like their own son, making me feel the warmth of home. I can say that they are the closest people to me in this world.

After graduating from the Ninja School, I met a teacher as responsible and caring as you. So far, I feel that my heart is filled with the love of you, Uncle Tofu, and Aunt Sanae, and I have not really felt the pain of the death of a loved one as the teacher said. "

Tsunade was amused by his words, "You little kid, you know I'm upset, so you flatter me on purpose to cheer me up, right?"

Xuanwu roared in his heart, "I'm not a child. I'm not small in any way. On the contrary, I'm very big. I'll scare you when I take me out."

But he obviously didn't dare to say that. "So you are suddenly so sad because you thought about the death of a relative?"

Tsunade answered the question irrelevantly, "Xuanwu-kun, you know, the first time I won the jackpot from gambling was when I was five years old. That day I stole my grandfather's money and went to play the slot machine. I lost at the beginning, but when I played the last hand, I won the jackpot of 777. I still remember how happy I was that day.

But when I returned home happily and wanted to show off to my grandfather, my father, who was walking towards me, told me that my grandfather had passed away just as I entered the door.

I was still young at that time and didn’t understand what death meant. I thought my grandfather was just sleeping. It was not until later that I realized that my grandfather would never wake up.

The second great victory was when I was 7 years old. On that day, I learned from my grandmother that my second grandfather, the Second Hokage of Konoha, was attacked and killed by Kinkaku and Ginkaku in the Hidden Cloud Village.

The third time was the day I won the most, and it was on that day that I lost both my parents. My father and mother died together with Silver Horn, and my uncle and aunt also died in the revenge war against the Gold and Silver brothers. Almost overnight, the already precarious Senju clan was almost uprooted.

The fourth time, which was the time you let me win, I didn’t feel anything at first, but when I was thinking about it today, I suddenly realized that the few times I won big before were all accompanied by the departure of my loved ones.

So Xuanwu-kun, I am really worried about the safety of my grandmother and Shengshu. If they leave me again, I will really be left with nothing. "

At this point, Tsunade was already in tears.

Seeing Tsunade so sad, Akimichi Genbu's heart was broken. He walked to Tsunade, took out a handkerchief to wipe her tears, but Tsunade could no longer restrain herself, rushed into his arms, hugged him, and cried bitterly.

Akimichi Xuanwu did not take advantage of the situation, but raised his arms and tried to think of a solution. Oh, never mind, I'll just lie to her for a day, and it'll be good to keep her happy for a while.

He spoke to comfort her, "Tsuna-chan, have you noticed that the last few times you won, you received bad news on the same day, but this time, nothing bad happened to Mito-sama and Nawaki on the day you won."

Tsunade stopped crying after hearing this, "Yes, why didn't I realize this? In the past, the incidents always happened on the same day. So when something bad happened to my grandmother and Rope Tree, it happened during the competition the day before yesterday. Why am I so sad now? Who am I crying for?"

Tsunade, who was already a carefree and optimistic person, immediately saw the rain turn to clear. Only then did she realize that she was actually in the arms of her own disciple, feeling his strong heartbeat. Tsunade's face turned from bright to sunset, and with a "whoosh" she pushed forward and pushed Xuanwu to the opposite wall.

Xuanwu asked what was going on and how I got here.

"Yeah, don't tell anyone about what happened tonight, do you hear me?" Tsunade wiped her snot and tears, adjusted herself, and restored her former good image.

Xuanwu dug himself out of the wall. What the hell was going on? "Teacher, don't worry. Nothing happened tonight. I just came here to deliver food."

Tsunade was very satisfied with Xuanwu's performance. He was indeed her favorite disciple, who knew how to handle things. However, she soon realized another problem. "What did you call me just now?"

"Tsunade-sensei."

"No, it was the last time."

Tsunade's eyes were very dangerous.

"Well, uh, this, Teacher Tsunade, don't get me wrong, this is what Lady Mito told me. She said that the first generation always called you this." Xuanwu hurriedly explained.

"Hmph, I'll forgive you this time, but don't let there be a next time."

Tsunade turned her head away, pretending to be a generous adult, "Well, I'm hungry. You go out first. I want to eat."

Then she sat in a chair and started eating.

Looking at Tsunade's crazy way of showing off to her fans, Akimichi Genbu wanted to please Tsunade, but he also felt a little disappointed in his heart. However, he quickly recovered and thought, "Never mind, there is still a long way to go."

"Then Mr. Tsunade, I'm going to be out first. You should rest as soon as you finish eating. Just leave those things there. I'll come and clean them up tomorrow morning."

"Oh."

Akimichi Xuanwu turned and left.

After he left, Tsunade stopped eating immediately. She slammed her hands on the table, her cheeks flushed all the way to her ears. "Tsunade, what are you doing? He is your disciple. You hugged him and cried on his chest. How are you going to face him in the future!!!"
