Reuniting with Tsunade

"Who is it? You dare touch me? You want to die?!" Seeing someone trying to take her money, Tsunade angrily turned around to see who was so reckless, but when she turned around, she saw a familiar face.

"Tsunade, it's been a long time!" Tianqi looked at Tsunade with a gentle expression.

"Yes, yes, it's you?" Tsunade stared at the familiar face, her expression one of disbelief.

"It's me, Tsunade, I'm back!" Tianqi nodded and spread his hands wide.

Seeing that it really was Tianqi, Tsunade quickly got up and hugged him, tears streaming down her face as she cried, "Why, why, why did you only come back now!"

"I'm sorry, Tsunade," Tianqi stroked Tsunade's yellow hair, feeling a pang of heartache. His wife had endured far more than most people could bear. Instead of looking out for her, fate had taken away her loved ones one by one.

Shizune was completely bewildered to see Lady Tsunade in front of her and crying. When had Sannin, one of the Legendary Sannin and a representative of female Lady Tsunade, ever acted like this?

The casino owner, who was rolling dice, was also completely bewildered by Big Fat Sheep's behavior. Although everyone called her Big Fat Sheep, no one dared to mess with her strength and status. The fact that she was acting like this meant that the person in front of him was no ordinary person either.

Tsunade held Tianqi and cried for a full five minutes before stopping. Tianqi wiped away his wife's tears, took her hand, and looked at the young man beside her, "You're Dan Katō's niece, Shizune, right?"

"Yes, that's right..." Shizune nodded, looking at Tianqi with a puzzled expression.

"I can't believe you've grown up so much. Time really flies! Come on, let's go somewhere else!" Tianqi said with a sigh, extending his hand.

Seeing Tianqi's outstretched hand, Shizune looked at it with a puzzled expression and then turned her questioning gaze to Lady Tsunade.

"Shizune, this is my husband Uchiha Tianqi. You don't need to worry!" Seeing Shizune's hesitation, Tsunade gave her a brief introduction.

"Oh, it's Tianqi!" Upon hearing that he was Lady Tsunade's husband, Shizune immediately put her hand on his without hesitation.

Tianqi, holding his wife Tsunade and Shizune's hands, activated Kamui, and the three of them vanished from the casino.

The casino owner watched the three leave, thinking he could easily pocket the million dollars. But when he looked down, the million dollars that had been on top of the small table were gone. He was immediately filled with disappointment. "I thought I could get a million dollars for free! I was so wrong!"

One million is no small sum, and Tianqi would never let the casino people have it for free. Even if he didn't want it, he wouldn't give it to those swindlers. When he left, Tianqi put the money into his Kamui Dimension.

Inside a restaurant in the small town, Tianqi brought Shizune and Tsunade there, ordered a table full of high-end food, and chatted while they ate.

"I've heard from the Land of Fire's intelligence over the years that you've appeared in Konoha, but I thought it was just rumors. It turns out you really have returned!" Tsunade said calmly to Tianqi.

"That information was indeed a hoax. I only woke up a few days ago, and after spending a few days with Sen'u, I came straight here to find you!" Tianqi shook his head slightly after eating a piece of beef.

"Is that so? But the message Teacher Sarutobi sent me doesn't seem to be like that!" Tsunade stared intently at Tianqi. Although she had left Konoha, she still maintained contact with Sarutobi Hiruzen. This guy Tianqi was clearly lying. Did he really think she knew nothing?

"Don't doubt it, I'm not lying to you. That guy who appeared in Konoha was just my consciousness. Although I couldn't be with Sen'u, I still witnessed his growth, so I'm not lying to you. That really wasn't me!" Tianqi slowly explained to Tsunade.

"Oh, is that so? Your methods are still strange!" Having understood what was going on, Tsunade suddenly thought of her son, and she immediately felt guilty again. "Is Sen'u alright?"

"Yes, that little guy is doing very well. His strength has broken through to the top of the Shinobi World, and he even has a nice girlfriend!" Tianqi nodded, giving Uchiha Mikoto a good evaluation as well.

"Is that so? I left when he was so young. He must be very resentful towards me now, right?" Tsunade felt a little relieved to hear that her son was doing well, but the thought of leaving when Sen'u years old filled her with immense guilt.

"You're mistaken about that. When I set off to find you, he asked me to give you my regards and said that he misses you very much and hopes that I can take you back to Konoha!" Tianqi shook his finger, conveying what Sen'u wanted to say to Tsunade.

"So he didn't hold any grudges against me, but you should know I'm not going back!" Tsunade frowned again upon hearing the words "return to Konoha." She was truly disappointed with those things, and it was impossible for her to return to Konoha.

"I know, so I won't force you. Go back if you want, or don't if you don't. Anyway, I'm not that optimistic about Konoha right now!" Tianqi shrugged indifferently.

Those old fogies can't stay in Konoha if they don't leave. It's not too late to let Tsunade go back after those rotten guys are all dead.

"Hmm, that's more like it, but there's something that's always puzzled me: how could someone as strong as you have suffered such severe injuries back then?" Tsunade and Sen'u, being mother and son, both asked the same question.

"Uh... well... nothing really happened. I just overexerted myself, that's why I'm like this. It's not anyone else's fault, it's all my own fault!" Tianqi said vaguely, unlike when he spoke directly to Sen'u.

After all, it was a battle against the entire Shinobi World, and it was Hashirama Senju who was involved. You can't exactly tell Tsunade, "I'm fighting with your grandfather," can you? That's something you can't just say out loud.

"Is that so? Then you'd better be careful. Don't do this kind of thing again next time. You're really making people worry!" Seeing that Tianqi was unwilling to explain, Tsunade didn't press him any further. As long as Tianqi was in front of her at this moment, that was enough.

"Don't worry, I promise this is the first and last time. I will never do something so foolish again!" Tianqi held Tsunade's hand with a gentle expression.

"Hmm... I believe you!" Seeing Tianqi like this, Tsunade also showed a rare, girlish side.

Shizune, meanwhile, kept showing off the food, completely ignoring what Lady Tsunade and Tianqi were saying. However, given how close they were, there was nothing she could do even if she didn't want to listen.

Shizune stood there, eating dog food with gusto, her face full of speechlessness. Couldn't these two adults even consider that there were other people around?
