Conversation with Jueming, Kushina's Resolve

"Mm~, Kushina..."

Rin Nohara replied to Kushina somewhat indistinctly.

Hearing Rin Nohara inside, Kushina sighed in relief.

"Rin, are you all right?" Kushina hurriedly asked.

If Rin did something rash because of her gossip, she really would become a sinner.

"I, mm~, I'm fine..."

Rin Nohara continued vaguely.

"Rin, what... are you doing?" Kushina thought for a moment before finally asking.

"Mm~, I-I'm practicing medical services..."

Rin Nohara answered evasively.

Half an hour later...

Kushina saw Rin Nohara hurrying away.

Just as she was about to go over and ask her about it, someone behind her called out first.

"Lady Kushina, I heard you were looking for me?"

Jueming walked over, blocking Kushina's view of Rin Nohara.

Perhaps it was just her imagination.

Without thinking too much about it, Kushina asked, "Um, I wanted to ask about Lord Tsunade... Have you found any leads?"

"Ah, that. I do have a slight idea."

Jueming considered it before answering.

"Really?!"

Kushina's eyes lit up.

"You have no idea how worried Teacher Jiraiya has been..."

Kushina gestured as she sighed.

Teacher Jiraiya truly cared deeply for her.

As Kushina spoke, Jueming learned just how anxious Jiraiya had been.

How he had been unable to sleep for five days and nights, yadda yadda...

"Hehe..."

Jueming nodded slightly as he listened.

Neither Kushina nor Jiraiya could have imagined it.

For five days and five nights.

Tsunade had been receiving his help all along.

The reason his main body had come out was not because he had free time.

It was because Tsunade truly could not endure any more.

He could only let her rest for a day.

Tomorrow, they would continue advancing her stage.

So far, she had already reached the Third Stage.
