"It's all because your little maid hasn't come home from school."
Tsunade moved aside.
Qingsi noticed that there were several dents on the front door of his house, the shape of which was clearly formed by tapping with knuckles.
Just how much strength did Tsunade use...?
"Take me inside and get some water first."
Tsunade fanned herself with her hand.
Fine beads of sweat glistened on his forehead, and his blond hair was somewhat matted together.
At this moment, Tsunade exuded a certain sexiness, giving people a mysterious feeling.
However, if anyone dares to speak ill of her or has impure eyes, they will undoubtedly be met with a pair of merciless iron fists.
Even Jiraiya, a comrade, was seriously injured by Tsunade in a moment of excitement. If he hadn't been physically strong, he might have died from accidental killing.
That injury resulted in Jiraiya having six broken ribs, both arms broken, and a ruptured heart.
These were some of the closest Jiraiya ever came to a life-or-death crisis in his life.
The next two times were when Naruto unleashed the Nine-Tails and during the battle against Pain.
If even Jiraiya was in this situation, then everyone else should just have to fend for themselves.
Kiyoshi glanced around discreetly, then unlocked the door.
"Remember to pay me back for this door, Lady Tsunade."
"Relax, relax, is there any water?"
Tsunade waved her hand dismissively.
At worst, she can win more money and then give the money for repairing the door to Kiyoshi.
The two went inside, and Kiyoshi poured Tsunade a glass of cold water.
On a hot day, it's impossible to drink hot tea.
"There's a mission I need you to take with me."
"Task?"
Kiyoshi raised an eyebrow.
"Go on a mission to Sunagakure."
Tsunade gently parted her delicate lips, which became even more moist after being wetted by the cold water.
"So I'm going to do this mission too? I just came back from the Hokage Building, and the Third Hokage didn't mention it to me..."
Before Kiyoshi could finish speaking, Tsunade interrupted:
"Ahem, it's my own task."
Tsunade said to Kiyoshi.
"You've noticed my special condition, haven't you? I can't stand blood. We worked well together the last few times, so I asked you to join me."
Tsunade said.
Unless you completely retire from the ninja profession, you have to take on missions.
Previously, Tsunade would just take on missions casually to pass the time, always finding various excuses to go outside the village.
Now, Konoha is facing a life-or-death crisis.
Tsunade couldn't bear to see this ninja village, which her grandfather had personally established, destroyed.
Ultimately, Tsunade still has deep feelings for Konoha.
"That's it."
Kiyoshi stroked his chin.
The current Tsunade is not as shrewd and muddle-headed as she will be in the future.
It's normal to feel a sense of responsibility towards Konoha.
Sending someone to Sunagakure is a task that Tsunade is indeed most suitable for.
"However... last time we were chased by Sunagakure, and during the war, Sunagakure and Konoha were not allies."
"This alliance was initiated by them."
Tsunade spoke.
That's why she came to find Qing Si this time, and didn't refuse the task the old man gave her.
If an alliance is formed, it will be very beneficial to Konoha, as it will have one less enemy and one more ally.
As the war drags on, the Wind Kingdom, with its most impoverished national strength, is the least able to withstand the strain.
If they were allowed to continue fighting, they would probably all go berserk and invade the rich lands of the Land of Fire.
Therefore, the alliance was also influenced by the factor of guarding against the hidden sand demons.
"Okay, I can go."
Kiyoshi thought for a moment and then agreed to Tsunade's suggestion.
This matter is entirely beneficial to him.
With the "Flying Thunder God Technique," he will never again experience the embarrassment of being chased like before.
They might even get to see Yekura again.
As the fighting progresses, all countries will inevitably cease hostilities one after another.
Yekura would also be used by Sunagakure as a token of sincerity in forming an alliance with Kirigakure.
They can't afford to wait any longer.
As the newly appointed Fourth Kazekage, Rasa, he didn't hesitate to harm even his own son, Gaara.
He would do almost anything for the village.
"So refreshing?"
Tsunade was stunned.
Last time, they were chased by Sunagakure for a long time, so going to Sunagakure would definitely be risky.
Alliances can also be traps.
Kiyoshi actually agreed to her so easily.
"Of course, I told you a long time ago, didn't I? Lady Tsunade, your eyes are sparkling. How could I refuse such a request from you?"
Kiyoshi smiled gently, picked up a glass of water from the table, and took a sip.
Tsunade's lips curled slightly.
This kid is still as eloquent as when we first met.
Tsunade suddenly looked up at the window.
I remember it was around dusk, I think.
"Since you've agreed, lend me some money. I'll give you my mission reward."
Tsunade exchanged a few more pleasantries with Kiyoshi.
Before leaving, she reached out her hand to Kiyoshi.
However, he looked somewhat embarrassed.
Since Kiyoshi agreed so readily, she even borrowed money from him again.
Snapped.
A soft sound.
Tsunade's palm felt like a scroll.
"I'll go with you to win it back."
Qingsi said.
Without letting go of Tsunade's hand, he pulled her along as they walked out.
"Hey, aren't you going to take a break?"
"No need, gambling doesn't take much effort."
The two went for a walk.
When a passing Uchiha glanced at her, Tsunade quickly withdrew her hand.
She almost forgot that Kiyoshi was still holding her hand!
As Tsunade felt Kiyoshi's hand, which was at a comfortable temperature, leave her, her expression became subtle.
This kid is growing up quite a bit.
She should perhaps take Kiyoshi seriously instead of treating him like a child.
"What's wrong, Lady Tsunade?"
"Nothing, let's go."
Tsunade walked forward.
To her own surprise, she didn't find it offensive that Kiyoshi was holding her hand.
"it is good."
Kiyoshi quickly followed.
The Uchiha who witnessed this scene was Uchiha Tetsuka.
His eyes were wide open, like copper bells in the literal sense.
"Did you...see that...?"
Tie Huo's tone was one of shock.
"I saw it."
The rice paddies nodded.
A while ago, Kiyoshi went to Mikoto's house late at night.
Today, he saw Kiyoshi holding Tsunade's hand again.
What's wrong with this world?
Is it possible that someone as young as Kiyoshi is so popular?
"No, that's not right."
Daohuo silently rejected this option.
Tetsuka and Kiyoshi were in the same class, but he didn't seem to have much luck with women.
This thought brought a sliver of comfort to Daohuo.
He was both afraid that his brother would suffer, and also afraid that his brother would become capable.
"The way you were looking at me just now was really weird."
Tie Huo frowned.
He sensed a hint of relief in Daohuo's eyes.
"You're worrying too much."
Daohu denied it, and then said:
"How come Kiyoshi and Tsunade are so close again? Isn't she from the Senju clan?"
"Who knows."
Tie Huo shrugged, touched his nose, and gave a wry smile.
It's normal for a genius like Kiyoshi to have contact with such important figures.
