Chapter 256 Who is the Examiner 16
What ending in a fairy tale is more terrifying than death?
Tsunade's answer was: homeless.
How am I different now from the vicious villain in the story? But judging from the ending, I might be even more evil.
Thinking this, she filled the glass with the crystal liquid again.
After fermentation, the grains have a charming aroma that can dispel all worries and sufferings.
Grandpa Hashirama always says that discouraging words should be stopped.
Even the serious grandfather Tobirama would widen his eyes a little when he heard the other party say this.
Brotherhood, perhaps this is what it is.
Then what is the position of myself who is left alone in this world?
Should I find a man, give birth to a child of my own, and then I will have the home I have always dreamed of?
Her lover died, and her brother passed away soon after - she no longer had the courage to love.
Even if you have a home that meets the requirements in a broad sense, what can you do?
She is still alone.
...
Tsunade finally followed Neji back to the Hyuga branch.
Hinata Hizashi was not at home as usual. The more problems there were during the Chunin Exam, the more those old guys wanted to torture the Jonin.
Especially Hyuga Hizashi, who is Gekko Hayate's assistant.
The only examiner who was injured was Yue Guang Ji Feng, who was given the title of "the first victim".
Before the truth comes out, there is punishment; before the problem is solved, there is reflection.
Before the fog hiding the answer was lifted, it was Confinement who found Hinata Hizashi first.
It was insulting and sarcastic, like a punishment tailor-made for a pet puppy.
When did Konoha become what it is now?
"three days left."
The person who appeared outside the window was Uchiha Itachi - the worry that Neji had expressed finally became a reality.
Tsunade knew that it was time to come back to her senses from her endless emotions - this was what an adult should do, wasn't it?
No matter how mature and brave you appear in front of others, when it comes to yourself, you will still be unable to get rid of cowardice.
Home is like those disgusting soy sauce meatballs. You can choose not to eat it, but you absolutely cannot live without it.
They taste weird and unpalatable, but they have a reassuring taste.
Those who barely have a place to call home are waiting to be displaced again. The sadness and confusion are gradually fading away - perhaps this is how it is for older people, no matter what, they always walk slower, more layered, and with a sense of gradual change.
If losing something is the price of growing up, it would be better not to grow up at all - is this something a woman in her fifties should complain about?
Obviously not.
The woman snorted coldly and drank the rest of the wine.
"Tell me what you are doing?"
"Isn't it your turn on duty now? Is it really okay for you to run out at this time?"
There is nothing that Uchiha Itachi can't do.
Even Tsunade subconsciously believed this. This was such an ironic realization, the incompetent self, and the capable him standing in front of her.
It was definitely not a comfortable feeling, and the black-haired young man looked particularly annoying at this moment.
"Go back quickly."
If Tsunade really thought something was going to happen, she would have punched Itachi back to his position long ago. She wouldn't have been in the mood to talk trash here.
"Over there...Shisui is there, so I'm not needed for now."
"Shisui?"
"That's a very affectionate way to address him. The last time I heard you call him that... I can't remember for a moment."
The moon is definitely not round, but it is still bright.
It was hanging high in the air and looked shaky at this moment.
If only the moon would fall down now.
Send everyone on this planet to paradise, where there will be no more suffering, no more sorrow and nostalgia.
What a wonderful thing that would be - it's exciting just to think about it.
"Itachi..."
This time when she spoke, Tsunade's voice became sticky and unclear, the sound of a drunkard, a "dragon roar".
“What does the world of capable people look like?”
“Will you see the same sky as us?”
This was the most distant "we" Uchiha Itachi had ever heard. There were only himself and Tsunade in the small space, but we undoubtedly did not bring ourselves with us.
He was classified as capable.
And Tsunade put herself in the incompetent category.
"Tsunade-sama..."
The overly sharp nails on the Anbu's gloves rubbed against the window frames, leaving uneasy scratches and making disgusting noises.
"For Lady Tsunade to be Lady Tsunade, it must be more than just her age."
"Fifty years old -- where are the people of Tsunade-sama's age? What have they become? Are you too old to even recognize these things?"
The ivory wine jug was thrown at him as expected, and Itachi grabbed it and put it back on the table: "Can he go and receive it in person? Isn't such happiness enough to dilute the sadness in your heart?"
"It seems that greed is the only thing you can call yourself, Tsunade-sama."
"If it didn't find you, maybe there's something wrong somewhere in this world. Lady Tsunade has so many wishes that they're about to overflow."
Itachi dropped the last sentence and turned to leave: "Then I will go on duty."
"You're on your own."
"Greed is insatiable, like a snake swallowing an elephant."
This is just a brat whose only thought is how to win favor.
When the gray and black figure was completely buried in the night, Tsunade slowly raised her head.
"Dogs bark."
She cursed under her breath, cleaned up the mess on the floor by herself, and quietly opened the sliding door of the next room.
Maybe Hyuga Neji has already fallen asleep.
Thinking this, she squeezed her head into the room.
Just take a look if you can.
There were layers of white bedding piled on the bed, and the boy was buried in it, looking quiet and peaceful.
Gaara was standing on the left with his arms folded. He seemed to be just resting with his eyes closed, but he opened his eyes the moment Tsunade opened the door.
But he just opened his eyes.
It is said that the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki is a magical creature that can work all year without falling asleep and will not feel sleep deprived. Today, Tsunade has truly witnessed it.
The one that Gaara had circled at his feet was naturally the snake-eyed apricot tree.
He lay on the floor next to Neji's bed, sleeping in a slumber, his face drooling with happiness.
"what happened?"
The young man on the bed slowly opened his eyes, his white eyes slowly rolling in his eye sockets, and finally fixed on the direction where Tsunade was sitting.
"Can't sleep?"
Neji's voice was a little hoarse, with a gentleness and charm that Tsunade couldn't refuse.
Of course, feelings belong only to the listener. As for what the person who makes the sound looks like, only Hyuga Neji himself knows.
“Well…”
She wasn't ready to go to bed yet, so how could she decide whether she could fall asleep or not?
This is the question I should ask Hyuga Neji! As a doctor, and as someone who cares about Hyuga Neji.
But at this moment, she seemed to be truly cared for.
The boy propped himself up and sat up, and naturally there was a blonde Tsunade beside him. She always thought that Neji should hate physical contact - after all, for people like them who are a bit cool and indifferent to everything, it is normal to resist physical contact.
Yes, just like Orochimaru, or Itachi's younger brother.
Before Uchiha Itachi fell, perhaps he would be a person like his younger brother.
But now, she seemed to be embraced by Hyuga Neji.
After drinking, his body was steaming, and touching the boy's slightly lower body temperature seemed unexpectedly comfortable.
The hand was placed on his cheek, closing his eyelids.
He was so energetic just now, but now he feels a little drowsy.
That's weird... Was it because of the alcohol?
The incense on the boy's body seemed to have a calming effect. As soon as it entered Tsunade's nostrils, it drove away the sleepiness that was fleeing everywhere.
"Don't worry..."
Neji's voice was weak and soft, mixed with Gaara's controlled breathing: "Don't worry about anything."
"You are just a little tired now."
"Get some rest."
Since the day she met him, Tsunade has not had a single moment of rest.
Even a wheel would eventually fall apart, let alone Tsunade who is just a flesh and blood body?
Listening to the woman's gradually steady breathing, the young man said:
"It's almost ready."
"soon..."
The sand rearranged itself in front of Neji's eyes, writing a string of characters: Please don't think about anything unlucky.
