"There's that kid to back you up, so don't worry about it."
The Third Raikage chuckled. He was quite fond of Tsunade and his own disciple as a couple.
Though they'd always been at each other's throats, arguing whenever they met and fighting often—and fiercely.
Tsunade's resentment was especially frighteningly intense. But she was still a woman, and for now, she was only holding on by sheer force of will.
Once Hiroshi fused an even stronger four-element bloodline, or even a five-element one, that girl's attitude would surely change.
