The Look in Someone's Eyes When They Want to Kill You Can't Be Hidden, A Date

After ordering several bottles of wine and a few dishes, Uchiha Dan and Tsunade finally began to relax.

But just then, a small figure hurriedly ran up outside the tavern. Seeing Tsunade drinking in a booth, he quickly headed over.

"Big Sis!" Nawaki shouted as he ran toward Tsunade, who had only taken a couple of sips.

The moment she heard Nawaki call out, Tsunade's heart skipped a beat. She turned around in fury and glared at him with an unprecedentedly vicious look.

Nawaki's heart also skipped a beat, and he was utterly terrified.

The look in someone's eyes when they wanted to kill you couldn't be hidden.

Nawaki swore that, in that instant, his sister had truly wanted to kill him.

Too scary... Grandma, I want to go home!

Grandma?

Nawaki finally came back to his senses. Ignoring Tsunade's glare, he lowered his head and trembled as he said softly, "Big Sis, Grandma, she..."

At the word "Grandma," Tsunade's imposing aura instantly vanished, replaced by deep concern.

"What happened to Grandma?" Tsunade immediately reined in her emotions and asked anxiously.

"Grandma isn't feeling well!" Nawaki answered, still lowering his head.

"You little brat!" Tsunade immediately exploded. "Grandma's just feeling unwell. Why are you putting on such a grief-stricken expression? I'll beat you to death!"

"Alright, alright!" Uchiha Dan quickly reached out to stop Tsunade.

Wasn't it all your fault? With that look in your eyes, who wouldn't get confused?

Look how badly you scared the kid!

"I'll go home with you and take a look." Uchiha Dan patted Tsunade's shoulder reassuringly, then ran off to settle the bill at the bar.

Once they got home, Tsunade ignored everything else and immediately rushed toward the backyard.

Seeing Uzumaki Mito's pale, utterly frail face, Tsunade's nose stung, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes.

"Little Tsuna!" Uzumaki Mito opened her eyes. When she saw Tsunade, she smiled comfortingly. "Don't worry. Grandma is fine."

"Is the Nine-Tails ramming against the seal again?" Tsunade asked through gritted teeth.

"You don't need to hate the Nine-Tails." Uzumaki Mito shook her head. "It's actually quite pitiful. It clearly has its own independent consciousness, yet it has always been sealed away and controlled."

"It's just that by the time I realized this, it was already too late. The conflict between the Nine-Tails and me had long since become irreconcilable. Otherwise, perhaps it and I could have become friends."

Hearing her grandmother still trying to comfort her at a time like this, Tsunade could no longer hold back her tears. They streamed down her cheeks.

Tsunade had been raised by her grandfather and grandmother since childhood.

Later, her grandfather and Second Grandfather passed away one after another. With little connection to her parents, the person she had the deepest bond with was her grandmother.

The reason she had grown up with such upright values and an open, honorable character had much to do with Uzumaki Mito's guidance.

That was why she could not bear to see her grandmother looking so weak, much less imagine how she would carry on if her grandmother were gone.

"Dan, come here," Uzumaki Mito called when she noticed Uchiha Dan standing quietly at the side, keeping Tsunade company.

Uchiha Dan hurriedly stepped forward, crouched down, and respectfully said, "Lady Mito!"

"You child, it's about time you started calling me Grandma," Uzumaki Mito said with mild reproach.

"Grandma!" Tsunade immediately blushed scarlet and complained bashfully.

"Haha!" Uzumaki Mito burst out laughing at the sight. "Youth is wonderful!"

"Whenever I see the two of you, I think of when I was young. Back then, Hashirama, that fellow..."

"Forget it, they're all old stories. Once people get old, they just love reminiscing!"

"Dan!" Uzumaki Mito's expression suddenly turned exceedingly solemn. Like she was entrusting her final wishes to him, she took Uchiha Dan's hand and said, "Promise me that no matter what happens, you will treat Tsunade well."

"Lady Mito, although your condition has worsened, you are still far from being at death's door. There's no need to be so pessimistic," Uchiha Dan quickly reassured her.

"When I leave isn't important. But I hope you can promise me today." Uzumaki Mito's expression remained solemn.

"Lady Mito, rest assured. From now on, I will do everything in my power to treat Tsunade well and find every way possible to make her happy," Uchiha Dan promised solemnly as well.

"If anyone dares bully Tsunade, they will become my sworn enemy. Even if the Sage of Six Paths himself comes, he won't be able to protect them. That's what I said."

"Haha, good, good!" Uzumaki Mito nodded forcefully in immense satisfaction, her spirits greatly lifted.

"Grandma, what nonsense are you saying?" Tsunade felt incredibly sweet inside, but also terribly embarrassed.

Hmph, you said that yourself. If you dare go back on it... you absolutely can't go back on it!

"You girl!" Uzumaki Mito shot Tsunade a deliberately dissatisfied glare. "Make sure you seize your chance!"

Tsunade was on the verge of tears.

Tell me, was there any chance that I could have seized it today in the first place?

Sigh, forget it. The more I say, the more tears I'll shed!

"Lady Mito," seeing how deeply Uzumaki Mito and Tsunade cared for each other, Uchiha Dan said, "I may have a way to let you enjoy a few more years of family happiness."

Uzumaki Mito nodded in satisfaction at his words, but then she shook her head with carefree ease and smiled. "One by one, everyone I cared about is gone. What meaning is there in living so long?"

"My parents, my younger brother—they're all gone. Hashirama is gone too. For all these years, I had little Tsunade and Nawaki with me. I've long been content. There's nothing left I can't let go of."

"Grandma!" Tsunade and Nawaki spoke up at the same time, their voices full of sorrow.

"Don't worry, I won't do anything foolish. How could I bear to leave my granddaughter and grandson before my natural lifespan ends?" Uzumaki Mito said with a smile.

"Soon, I'll reinforce the seal. Dan, come help me when the time comes!"

Without a second thought, Uchiha Dan nodded in agreement.

How was this asking him for help? She was clearly passing down her secret techniques to him!

After examining Uzumaki Mito's condition and chatting for quite some time, Uchiha Dan finally rose to take his leave.

Seeing the intense hint in Uzumaki Mito's gaze, Tsunade immediately stood up to see him off.

At that moment, Tsunade practically wanted to cry at her own slowness when it came to relationships.

With no experience in romance whatsoever, she genuinely had no idea what to do without someone else pointing it out.

Especially since Uchiha Dan had once been somewhat cold toward her.

Tsunade was afraid that clinging to him would make Uchiha Dan dislike her, so she had always hesitated and overthought things.

As they strolled through Konoha's streets, neither Uchiha Dan nor Tsunade spoke. They simply walked side by side, yet whenever their eyes met, they would unconsciously break into smiles.

Half an hour passed. Neither of them knew how many streets they had crossed, but neither felt tired. Instead, both wanted to keep walking like this forever.

"Not going for drinks?" At last, Uchiha Dan broke the silence. Looking at Tsunade's breathtaking face, as exquisite as a meticulously sculpted work of art, he could not help but smile.

This was the first time Uchiha Dan had looked at Tsunade without hiding his feelings, and also the first time he had been completely unable to look away.

Everything that had happened today, especially the sight of Tsunade being so overjoyed on the rooftop that she could barely contain herself, finally gave him the courage to face his own heart—and to face Tsunade.

At this moment, Tsunade seemed like a goddess descended into the mortal world. Her long golden hair fell naturally around her shoulders, while her green dress and blue sash perfectly accentuated her graceful curves. Her chest was full and proud, yet her slender waist could be encircled in one hand, her charm seemingly bestowed by nature itself.

Her exquisite features were flawless enough, but her skin was also as fair as porcelain. Her eyes resembled a clear spring, bright and limpid, enough to make anyone drown in them at a glance.

Her vividly colored, plump, sensual lips made Uchiha Dan want to bite them.

Is this my woman?

She's so beautiful!

"You idiot!" Tsunade's face flushed red beneath Uchiha Dan's somewhat dazed stare. She bit her lip tightly and glared at him for a long while before asking, "Did you know all along?"

"Hahaha!" Uchiha Dan suddenly could not help laughing. "I don't know anything!"

"Hmph!" Tsunade turned her head away in a huff, looking as though she had no intention of paying him any attention.

Yet her body unconsciously moved closer to his, until they were pressed tightly together.
