[I Don't Want to See You!]

"Sure." Afraid Hyuga Bin might change his mind, Tsunade immediately agreed.

She happened to have no money for dinner today, and Hyuga Bin's appearance was like a pillow arriving just as she got sleepy.

Besides, she wasn't worried that this "thirty-something" Hyuga Bin would try anything underhanded.

"Lord Tsunade." Kato Shizune, who wanted to refuse, tugged at Tsunade's clothes. The rough-looking man Hyuga Bin had transformed into did not look like a good person at all.

Although she was a ninja and could easily deal with ordinary people, her innocent instincts still made her want to stay away from bad people.

"Then please follow me." Hyuga Bin made an inviting gesture and headed toward a restaurant.

Though his tone was warm, he instinctively kept his distance from Tsunade. Her fists were simply too dangerous.

After arriving at the restaurant, Hyuga Bin skillfully ordered a whole table of dishes, then sat down to continue chatting with Tsunade.

Having won one million ryo today, he was feeling especially rich.

Only when the dishes were served did Tsunade's gaze finally turn somewhat suspicious, because every dish was one she liked.

At that moment, she thought of Hyuga Bin.

Over all these years, Hyuga Bin was the only person who clearly remembered every dish she liked.

She was actually a little touched by that, but she had never said so. She was the proud Princess Tsunade—how could she admit so easily that she was moved?

"This is our first meeting, so I didn't know what you liked. I just ordered dishes I enjoy. You don't mind, do you?" Hyuga Bin explained with a smile.

"Not at all." Kato Shizune answered somewhat awkwardly. It had been a long time since she had eaten such a lavish dinner.

"Are these really dishes you like?" Tsunade stared at Hyuga Bin, wanting to read something from his expression.

Because of the dishes covering the table, she suspected Hyuga Bin's identity.

Yet she could not sense even the slightest Chakra fluctuation from him, which meant he was merely an ordinary person.

"Of course." Hyuga Bin smiled and nodded, then deliberately made a gesture he often used in front of Tsunade.

He had done that gesture many times in front of her.

"Enough, Bin-kun. Stop pretending. I can't keep acting." Tsunade now knew it was Hyuga Bin and directly exposed him.

As for deliberately claiming that she had seen through Hyuga Bin's Transformation Jutsu long ago... she would never admit that she had failed to see through even a Transformation Jutsu.

Did she, Tsunade, have no pride?!

"How did Lord Tsunade discover it was me?" Hyuga Bin pretended to be surprised.

He had dropped plenty of hints from the moment they met until now. If Tsunade still could not guess it, he had been planning to dispel the transformation himself.

"How could your clumsy Transformation Jutsu possibly escape my discerning eyes?" Tsunade said grandly as she picked up a bite of food and put it in her mouth.

"Lord Tsunade, you're amazing!" Hyuga Bin returned to his original appearance, gave Tsunade a thumbs-up with a smile, then greeted Kato Shizune beside her.

"It's been years, and you've changed quite a lot." Looking at the now teenage Hyuga Bin, Tsunade smiled.

"Lord Tsunade looks exactly the same as before." Hyuga Bin smiled as well.

Aside from the diamond-shaped Yin Seal on her forehead, Tsunade's appearance had not changed at all from several years ago. Time had left no trace upon her face.

"Tell me, what did you come to see me for this time?" After exchanging greetings, Tsunade went straight to the point.

[Option A: Tell Tsunade: "One day apart feels like three autumns. I missed you so much." Completion reward: Summoning Jutsu (B-rank reward).]

[Option B: Tell Tsunade: "Long time no see. I missed Shizune so much." Completion reward: Wood Release—Wood Coffin Technique (C-rank reward).]

[Option C: Tell Tsunade: "Let's talk after we eat. It won't taste good once it gets cold." Completion reward: random Attribute Points +0.1.]

"Let's talk after we eat. It won't taste good once it gets cold." Hyuga Bin placed a piece of meat into Tsunade's bowl and spoke with a smile.

[Option task completed. Dojutsu +0.1.]

After dinner, once Hyuga Bin had paid the bill, he walked shoulder to shoulder with Tsunade and Kato Shizune through the streets of the small town.

"Now, tell me the real reason." Tsunade turned to look at Hyuga Bin, who was now slightly taller than she was.

[Option A: Tell Tsunade that you came out traveling and this was purely a chance encounter. Completion reward: Water Release—Great Waterfall Technique (A-rank reward).]

[Option B: Confess to Tsunade. Completion reward: Lightning Release Chakra Mode (S-rank reward).]

[Option C: Tell the truth. Completion reward: random Attribute Points +0.1.]

"I want to learn that." Hyuga Bin raised a hand and pointed at the mark on Tsunade's forehead.

[Option task failed!]

Huh?

Seeing the words "failed" in his mind, Hyuga Bin froze for a moment.

If the system could speak, he truly wanted to ask what was going on and why it had directly judged the task a failure.

The most important reason he had come to find Tsunade was to learn the Yin Seal. Could it be that he did not even understand his own thoughts?

"The Yin Seal." Tsunade did not question how Hyuga Bin knew about the Yin Seal, because it was a ninjutsu recorded among sealing techniques.

However, hearing that answer made her feel inexplicably uncomfortable. "So you came to find me just to learn the Yin Seal?"

"Not just for that. There are other reasons too." Hyuga Bin ignored the system's judgment and continued explaining his other purpose to Tsunade. "Although I've mastered [Ninja Art - Creation Rebirth], it feels like something is still missing, so I wanted to discuss it with Lord Tsunade..."

"..."

As his words fell, Tsunade went silent.

Suddenly, she no longer wanted to see Hyuga Bin.
