Tsunade Comes Calling

Much of the current plot has changed; due to the outsider Shangguan Hong, many events have already deviated from their original trajectory.

Uzumaki Mito also wore an awkward expression. Based on the information she had, this marriage arrangement was rather problematic, and she wanted to back out of it.

Tsunade was born in Konoha Year 10, while Shangguan Yue was born in Year 32, making them a full 22 years apart.

In Konoha Year 37, Tsunade was 27 years old while Shangguan Yue was only 5. If this engagement were to get out, the entire ninja world would likely be shaken to its core.

Although people in the ninja world matured early, this was simply too early. He was only 5 years old; wouldn't the Senju clan become the laughingstock of the ninja world?

Not knowing how to bring it up, she chose to delay as much as possible, waiting for Shangguan Yue to grow up a bit. Besides, Tsunade was already practicing the Yin Seal, so by then, it might seem acceptable.

"Tsunade, there is still some time, just wait a little longer, just wait."

Tsunade pouted unhappily, acting like a little girl as she threw herself into Uzumaki Mito's arms.

"Still waiting? I'm already 27, I'm practically becoming an old hag. He hasn't died already, has he?"

Uzumaki Mito gently tapped Tsunade on the mouth. "What nonsense are you spouting? He is still alive, it's just that..."

Uzumaki Mito stopped abruptly, leaving Tsunade hanging. At this moment, she really wanted a boyfriend; she had never experienced being in love before.

Although she had always had suitors, Senju Hashirama, in order to cover up his own foolish actions, had described the yet-to-be-born Shangguan Yue in glowing, exaggerated terms.

Over the years, Tsunade had treated the Shangguan Yue of her imagination as her boyfriend, so naturally, she couldn't look at other men. After all, Senju Hashirama had invested a great deal of effort into his praise.

Seeing that the situation was taking a turn for the worse, Uzumaki Mito hurriedly changed the subject.

"Tsunade, compared to that, you need to hurry up and learn the Yin Seal technique I'm teaching you.

This is something that can keep you eternally youthful!"

For a girl, eternal youth is the most lethal poison.

Sure enough, as soon as Tsunade heard this, her interest was piqued, and even Uzumaki Kushina, who was standing to the side, had eyes that lit up with excitement.

Kushina had heard about Tsunade's engagement for years and was used to it, but this Yin Seal was different.

One only had to look at Uzumaki Mito to understand. Uzumaki Mito was already 70 years old, a ripe old age in a world where the average life expectancy was barely 30.

Yet, Uzumaki Mito still looked like an 18-year-old girl. If not for the aura of ancient age about her, who could say she was old?

Over the next few days, Uzumaki Kushina and Tsunade studied the Yin Seal with Uzumaki Mito, and Tsunade even tossed her fiancé, Shangguan Yue, to the back of her mind.

A week later, with the accumulation of her previous studies and Uzumaki Mito's guidance this time, Tsunade had skillfully mastered the Yin Seal.

Once she had obtained what she wanted most, Tsunade's thoughts drifted back to her fiancé.

Under Tsunade's constant pestering, Uzumaki Mito finally told her.

"Your fiancé is named Shangguan Yue, and he currently lives at such-and-such address. You can go find him directly.

Little Tsunade, remember, no matter what you see, stay calm. No matter what decision you make, I will support you."

Under Uzumaki Mito's warning, Tsunade felt a sense of unease. As if realizing something, the anticipation in her heart faded significantly.

Filled with trepidation, she arrived at Shangguan Yue's home. She snuck up to a window, saw that no one was there, pushed it open, and slipped inside.

Her figure flickered constantly as she carefully searched the small room.

"I want to see what you look like and if you're as divine as Grandfather said."

Unfortunately, Tsunade searched the entire room and didn't see anyone, leaving her feeling puzzled.

"Did Grandma remember the place wrong?"

Shangguan Yue's room was not large, only about 100 square meters, with a small courtyard attached. With Tsunade's strength as a jonin, she had searched the entire place in a few flashes.

The only impression left was that the place was very simple; there was no furniture, only a bed in the bedroom and many wooden training dummies covered in wood shavings in the courtyard.

At this moment, Yue was eating at Grandma's place. After turning 5, Yue had wanted his own private space, and it took a lot of convincing before he finally moved back to his own home.

The two houses were separated by only a wall, very close since they were neighbors, and Grandma didn't think much of it—it was normal for a child to grow up.

However, she still set three rules: he had to come to her place for meals, and he could only stop coming once he graduated or perhaps had the ability to live independently.

After finishing his meal, Shangguan Yue said goodbye to Grandma and prepared to head home; he hadn't finished today's training yet.

"Day after day, when will this ever end?

Why is my body so poor? No matter how I train, there's no progress. I'm afraid I'm a fake Uchiha. Isn't it said that the Uchiha are a genius race?

What, am I not worthy of dancing?"

Wearing a tight black training suit, his hands tucked into his pockets, he kicked small stones along the road all the way to his front door. He pushed it open, said "I'm home," and walked inside.

"No one home again. I still can't break that habit."

Without returning to the bedroom, Yue went to the practice area he had set up in the courtyard and began hitting the wooden dummies, punch after punch.

Tsunade flashed onto the roof, revealing half her head as she watched Shangguan Yue in the courtyard.

"Who is this kid?

Isn't this my fiancé's house?"

Could he be his child?

"Beast!"

Thinking of this, Tsunade was filled with fury. White steam began to emerge from her body, making her appear like a volcano ready to erupt.

"No wonder Grandma never wanted to talk about it; it turns out my waiting all these years was just a joke."

Unable to wait any longer to find out if the truth was as she suspected, she flashed behind Yue.

Yue had been practicing the Little Li Flying Dagger over the past few days to strengthen his spiritual power, and he now possessed a rudimentary ability to perceive his surroundings.

Sensing a massive cluster of energy behind him, Yue was startled and turned to look at the person who had suddenly appeared.

He saw Tsunade wearing a tea-green coat, her soft blonde hair flowing in the wind. She was mature and charming, with a pear-shaped figure that was eye-catching enough to make one want to commit a crime.

"Tsunade?"

Seeing Yue's adorable appearance, the anger that had been on Tsunade's face dissipated quite a bit.

"Oh, you know me? What is your name?"

A wicked smile curled at the corners of her mouth as she reached out to stroke Yue's cheek.

Yue shivered at Tsunade's action. Are you bullying me because I have a small body? How dare you tease me! Just you wait until I grow up; I'll make sure to leave you with no armor left.

"My name is Shangguan Yue. Why did you come to my house?"

Yue felt a bit helpless as Tsunade continued to rub his cheeks.

Upon hearing Yue's words, she was instantly stunned. Her hand stopped moving, and she pulled Yue into her arms to examine him carefully before flashing away.

"How can you be named Shangguan Yue!"

"Why can't I be named Shangguan Yue?" Yue was somewhat taken aback.

"You just can't be named Shangguan Yue!!!"

At this moment, the Chuunibyou God suddenly spoke in Yue's mind, "Yue, I've finished making that golden finger you asked for. Come and take a look."
