Tsunade, You're Robbing the Cradle-Please Keep Reading

Konoha Hokage Building.

This Jonin meeting lasted over two hours before finally adjourned.

"Tsunade."

Jiraiya opened his mouth to ask something, but Tsunade merely looked lazy, letting out a yawn with a faint, indifferent smile on her face.

It seemed that, at this moment, she had already put Nawaki's matter behind her.

Tsunade was currently in the prime of her youth, and that smile made quite a few Jonin present feel their hearts stir.

It was not merely her beauty—her strength and family background were equally exceptional. In every regard, Princess Tsunade stood at Konoha's very peak.

Princess Tsunade was a genuine princess.

After Tsunade's light-brown eyes swept over everyone's expressions, she sneered inwardly. You want to scheme against me? No matter how many hungry wolves are hiding among you, I'll disgust every last one of you later.

"Orochimaru, how about we go for a drink?"

Jiraiya suddenly laughed loudly and threw an arm around Orochimaru, who had been about to leave, while looking toward Tsunade.

"Idiot!"

Facing Jiraiya's actions, Orochimaru coldly spat out those two words. Though his mouth showed disdain, his body did not refuse. Instead, he looked toward Tsunade.

Clearly, Orochimaru was cold on the outside and warm within at this time. Tsunade had finally come around, so as her teammates, they naturally wanted to show her some concern.

However, facing Jiraiya and Orochimaru's invitation this time, Tsunade merely smiled lazily and waved her hand.

"Drinking? Sure, but another day."

Tsunade casually waved them off and headed outside, putting on an expectant expression at the same time.

Watching Tsunade leave, Jiraiya stared so wide-eyed that he seemed entranced. He had never seen Tsunade like this before.

"Orochimaru, let's go have a drink."

Jiraiya laughed excitedly, but Orochimaru only answered him with a disdainful glance.

"Idiot Jiraiya."

"Hey, hey, Orochimaru, what do you mean by that? Are we going or not?"

Jiraiya shouted in the meeting room while Orochimaru had already walked outside.

Outside the Hokage Building.

"You called me here in the middle of the night?"

Under a utility pole, Uchiha Yoru yawned, while a slug lay draped over his shoulder.

"Lady Tsunade asked me to deliver the message, so there can be no mistake. Lady Tsunade also told Yoru to wear his most beautiful clothes."

The slug's gentle voice echoed, bringing with it a refreshing feeling. Unfortunately, it was still a worm.

Uchiha Yoru frowned as he looked at the Hokage Office Building. What was Tsunade doing in the middle of the night?

Could the front lines be under pressure?

Then why had she told him to wear his best clothes?

In the middle of the night, Uchiha Yoru wore a pure white kimono and black pants. His chest was slightly open, revealing a glimpse of eye-catching muscle. Dark black bracers covered his forearms and extended to his hands, while a black belt was tied around his waist, with a straight ninja blade tucked horizontally into it.

Just then, figures in Jonin flak jackets walked down from the Hokage Building one after another, and Uchiha Yoru hurriedly put on a respectful expression.

At any time, one had to show sufficient respect to the strong.

At that moment, Dan Katō walked out of the office building with a gentle smile. Suddenly, hurried footsteps sounded behind him, and the corners of his mouth slowly curved upward as excitement welled in his heart.

Finally! His deliberate display had finally caught Princess Tsunade's attention.

"Yoru!"

Dan Katō took a deep breath, preparing to say something, when Tsunade, wearing a blue trench coat tonight, suddenly flashed past his side and called out affectionately.

The next moment!

What the hell!

Dan Katō stared in disbelief at the scene before him. The Jonin who had also walked out of the Hokage Office Building widened their eyes as well.

Under the utility pole's light, Tsunade ran toward him with an affectionate smile, then threw herself into his arms.

Uchiha Yoru caught her by reflex, but the next instant, a threatening voice sounded by his ear.

"Hold me and spin around!"

Good heavens!

A stunned look appeared on Uchiha Yoru's youthful face. Before his mind could process it, Tsunade secretly used the Mystical Palm Technique to directly control his nerves.

The next moment!

With a blissful, doting smile on Tsunade's face, Uchiha Yoru, half a head shorter than her, directly wrapped both arms around her waist and spun her around beneath the dim utility pole light.

At that moment, Tsunade revealed a brilliant smile, like a true princess.

Uchiha Yoru's eyes widened. There was such a move?

"Yoru, have you been waiting long?"

At such close range, a unique fragrance drifted around his nose. As Tsunade, in the prime of her youth, smiled at him affectionately, not only was Uchiha Yoru's mind still blank, but Jiraiya in the distance also widened his eyes.

"Is that Tsunade!?"

Jiraiya was utterly dumbfounded. He blurted it out in shock and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

When had Tsunade ever worn such an expression?

Doting! And toward a male ninja at that. Moreover, the symbol on his ninja outfit belonged to the Uchiha Clan. More importantly—

He was just a little brat!

"Brat, shut up and behave."

Tsunade's threatening voice sounded by his ear, but the next moment, she put on an affectionate smile again. Looking at the beautifully dressed Uchiha Yoru before her, she revealed a satisfied smile.

Damn it!

Uchiha Yoru's eyes widened. At last, he understood. With so many Jonin appearing in the distance, he had been used as a shield!

"Tsunade, y-you...!"

Jiraiya stared wide-eyed at the scene before him. Then, completely lacking tact, he stepped forward and pointed at them with a trembling finger.

"Jiraiya, what do you want!?"

The instant she turned around, Tsunade showed a flash of anger.

By instinct, Jiraiya stared with wide eyes. "Tsunade, you're robbing the cradle!"

"Jiraiya, you're courting death!"

Tsunade's furious fist smashed directly toward him. In terror, Jiraiya reflexively dodged. With a boom, the ground was blasted into a crater.

"Tsunade, are you trying to kill me!?"

After dodging that punch, Jiraiya immediately broke out in a cold sweat. Several snakes coiled around his waist flicked their tongues. If they had not yanked him aside, he might have taken that punch.

Orochimaru, who retracted several pythons behind him, saw this and commented speechlessly.

"Idiot Jiraiya."

Though Orochimaru was usually cold and detached, his pale golden snake eyes discreetly swept over Uchiha Yoru at that moment before he rasped out.

"Tsunade, this is the brat who graduated from the Ninja Academy last year, right?"

Among those who graduated from the Ninja Academy last year, Nawaki had been assigned under Orochimaru, Minato Namikaze under Jiraiya, and Uchiha Yoru under Tsunade.

"The brat who graduated last year?"

Jiraiya stared wide-eyed, then looked again at the brat beside them, who was obviously a good deal taller.

"Tsunade, what kind of madness has gotten into your head? You actually—"

Before he could finish, Tsunade's cold eyes met his. In an instant, Jiraiya recalled that iron fist. His expression immediately stiffened, and he swallowed the rest of his words.

"Hehe, pretty good. Pretty good, Tsunade."

Uchiha Yoru forced out a smile beside her. What was this mess? Tsunade stood in front of him, making him seem like he really had become a kept man.

"L-Lady Tsunade."

At the same time, Dan Katō, who had witnessed this scene at the entrance, revealed a stiff smile.

It's Tuesday, brothers. Please keep reading—I'm in the trial promotion stage.
