Tsunade Falls in Love

Tsunade was filled with awe as Su Zheng led her into the Land of Rain. She had heard that the country had developed well after the war, but she never expected it to be this prosperous!

As for why Su Zheng didn't just use the Flying Thunder God to bring them there, it was because he wanted to keep some trump cards hidden, revealing them to Tsunade bit by bit to pique her curiosity and slowly capture her heart.

Looking at the streets with cars speeding by and shops neatly arranged, it was like arriving in a bustling modern city!

Su Zheng brought the two of them to the Development Department building, and the massive complex amazed them both! They felt they had been more shocked in their entire lives than they had been since arriving in the Land of Rain!

He took them into the Household Registration Archives to collect their information. Tsunade was very curious about the machines and asked, "What kind of machines are these?"

Su Zheng explained, "The Land of Rain has its own household registration system. Everyone who comes to the Land of Rain receives this proof of registration to prove their identity. Otherwise, they'll be considered undocumented and get caught!"

"These machines are used to collect everyone's information!"

"What kind of information do these machines collect?"

"These collect fingerprints, these collect human DNA, and if they're ninja, we also collect their chakra!" Su Zheng introduced each machine one by one.

Tsunade's beautiful eyes darted around. As a medical ninja, she naturally understood the importance of this information for confirming someone's identity!

After completing the process, Su Zheng led them to a house.

"This will be your home from now on. Everything has been prepared. If you need anything, just ask Nawaki; he'll stay with you!"

Tsunade asked, "How do you plan to arrange things for Shizune and me?"

"I plan to have you work at the Land of Rain Hospital, and Shizune will attend school. Don't worry, everything is arranged!"

Seeing Tsunade about to speak, Su Zheng quickly replied, "Don't worry, I won't interfere with your work. Just follow your procedures, and you'll be the dean!"

Tsunade crossed her arms and asked, "Then what will my salary be?"

Su Zheng glanced over, swallowed, and looked away, saying, "How about two million Ryo a month?"

"Deal!" Tsunade took the key Su Zheng handed her and pulled Shizune into the house. She had certainly seen Su Zheng's reaction and felt a surge of delight. 'I guess I'm still quite charming!'

Su Zheng pulled Nawaki aside and said, "Nawaki, you'll stay by Tsunade's side from now on. She's your sister, and you'll remember this later!"

"Yes!"

Land of Rain Hospital, Conference Room.

"This is the legendary Tsunade-sama, one of the 'Sannin'! Her Medical Ninjutsu is incredibly powerful. Let's give her a warm welcome!"

Clap clap clap! After Su Zheng finished speaking, warm applause erupted from the audience.

Tsunade shot him a glare. 'Does he know how to speak?' That title was given by Hanzo himself, and she didn't consider it any form of recognition for her!

Dean's Office.

Tsunade looked at the young man before her and asked, "You're Hanzo's nephew? Why do they respect you so much?"

Su Zheng smiled and replied, "That's right, my uncle is Hanzo. As for why they respect me, you'll have to ask them!"

"How do you plan to begin the medical reforms?"

Tsunade put on her white coat and pouted, saying, "You don't need to worry about that. Are you here to monitor me?"

Su Zheng spread his hands and answered, "How could that be? I'm just idle and want to observe Tsunade-hime's work. I absolutely don't distrust you."

"Perhaps I should leave?"

"Hmph! As you wish!" Tsunade stood up, preparing to inspect the hospital, observe their treatment methods and operational models, and then propose reform suggestions!

It must be said, Tsunade had a unique charm when wearing her doctor's coat. Although her proud figure was concealed, her distinctive allure could not be hidden!

While working, Tsunade finally understood why they respected Su Zheng so much. At just 11 years old, he had eliminated the Land of Rain's tumor, the Gray Rain Clan, and adopted war orphans.

After the war ended, he even visited various villages for inspections and immediately implemented reforms upon his return, extensively promoting mechanization. The saved manpower was redirected to other industries, making him the creator of the Land of Rain's economic prosperity!

Hanzo had already relinquished his authority, and all affairs of the Land of Rain were completely handed over to Su Zheng!

The wine and slot machines she favored were all created by Su Zheng.

Such a person, who was powerful, compassionate, and capable, made her heart flutter a little!

After work, Su Zheng watched Tsunade stretch her waist and was secretly astonished!

Su Zheng composed himself and asked, "How does it feel?"

"It's alright. Your mechanization is well-implemented, and your examination and treatment methods are quite advanced. Only the Medical Ninjutsu is a bit lacking!"

Su Zheng rolled his eyes and retorted, "It's our Medical Ninjutsu!"

"Okay, okay!"

"Let's go, I'll take you somewhere!" Su Zheng grabbed Tsunade's hand and they left.

"Ah, Lord Su Zheng and Lady Tsunade are getting along!"

"Otherwise, why would they let Tsunade be the dean? These two must have been involved for a long time!"

Unaware of the gossip, Su Zheng and Tsunade were already gone.

Inside a dimly lit tavern, only a few patrons were present.

"Why did you bring me here?" Tsunade asked, confused.

Su Zheng raised an eyebrow and said, "To let you try our homemade wine!"

Mentioning wine piqued Tsunade's interest. She was truly someone who lived for alcohol!

Pop! The sound of a cork being pulled echoed, and a peculiar wine aroma wafted over, refreshing and invigorating!

Su Zheng poured her a cup. Tsunade looked at him and asked, "Aren't you drinking?"

Su Zheng shook his head. "Men shouldn't drink, it makes them lose their minds!"

"Hmph, you little brat!" Tsunade ignored him and picked up the cup to savor it.

The fine wine flowed down her throat, its mellow taste blooming on her tongue. The rich fruitiness intertwined, each drop carrying a faint tartness, followed by a long, lingering sweetness that left one wanting more!

"Mmm…" Su Zheng turned Tsunade's face towards him and directly poured the wine into her mouth!

Slurp! Su Zheng smacked his lips, exclaiming, "So sweet!" It was unclear if he was referring to the wine or something else!

"You damn brat, what do you think you're doing!" Tsunade's face flushed. She had just been kissed.

Whoosh! Su Zheng brought Tsunade into the training ground.

Tsunade looked at the vast space, inwardly shocked. Is this his ability? Don't underestimate me!

Su Zheng teased, "Tsunade, this is my first kiss, you know!"

This instantly set Tsunade off, and she shouted, "You damn brat, I'm definitely going to beat you up!"

Boom!

Tsunade shattered the ground and charged forward, her fist, charged with chakra, ready to strike!

Bang! The ground caved in!

Su Zheng raised his right hand, a blue armor appearing, and he solidly blocked the attack!

"Mmm, smells good!" Su Zheng praised.

"Ah…!" Tsunade roared, forming hand seals.

Summoning Jutsu: Slug!

Boom!

Accompanied by a massive cloud of white smoke, a portion of the body of the great slug, which had survived since the Kaguya era, was summoned!

"Lady Tsunade, long time no see!" the Slug greeted warmly as soon as it appeared.

Tsunade said angrily, "Slug, help me teach this guy a good lesson!"

The Slug's large eyes looked at Su Zheng. "Lady Tsunade, is it just to deal with this young man?"

"Yes, beat him up soundly! How dare he…" She didn't finish the sentence.

Seeing Tsunade's flushed face, the Slug looked confused. It had never seen Lady Tsunade display such an expression before. What was so special about this man?

It said coquettishly, "Alright, Lady Tsunade!" Its massive body lunged towards Su Zheng.

Su Zheng watched Tsunade's expression and thought to himself, Did I go too hard? Why isn't it having any effect?

He had initially thought Tsunade was just a superficial "strong woman" who didn't want to show a reliance on men.

Now, it seemed the cruelty of war had forced her to grow up and suppress her inner feelings.

It seems I still need to break through her defenses and show her what a real man is!

The Slug's body pressed down. Su Zheng didn't retreat but advanced instead. His chakra armor slammed into the Slug's body, separating them as they fell.

The Slug's body was really not suited for combat. It was no match for a strong opponent, though it was quite suitable for supporting the battlefield.

Su Zheng stretched his body, the blue chakra armor covering him entirely. The solidified armor was indestructible!

Boom boom boom!

Carrying an unparalleled aura, Su Zheng charged forward.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two bodies clashed, their terrifying power capable of shattering metal and stone!

Boom boom boom! The training ground echoed with thunderous roars as Su Zheng and Tsunade collided again and again…

"Huff, huff…" Tsunade gradually grew exhausted, panting, sweat trickling down her body!

Whoosh! Su Zheng would occasionally harass Tsunade, making her increasingly annoyed!

In the distance, the Slug finally understood why Lady Tsunade had that expression. It turned out she was longing for a man!

Somewhere, in an infinitely distant space, a purple figure floated in the air, facing a giant screen displaying the battle between Su Zheng and Tsunade.

Watching their fighting style, the purple figure occasionally let out a silvery laugh.

"This young man is truly wondrous, and he's not from this world!"

Who was this? How could they know Su Zheng's secret?

Inside the training ground, Tsunade collapsed, exhausted and panting, held in Su Zheng's arms.

Su Zheng took the "crystal necklace" from Tsunade's chest and put it around his own neck, saying triumphantly, "This necklace is mine now. From now on, you're my woman!"

"What do you think, doesn't it look good?"

Tsunade looked at Su Zheng seriously. The young man's eyes were clear, and his expression was solemn!

Nawaki's "declaration" before his death felt like it was just yesterday. It was this man who had saved Nawaki, and had also saved her!

She no longer wanted to be rushed around by war, witnessing death and bloodshed. She didn't want to wander in the darkness anymore, chasing after intelligence and missions. She just wanted to see Nawaki grow up happily, and to have a man dote on her!

Instead of walking alone in a lonely world!

Tsunade smiled brilliantly. The man's image was etched into her heart, taking root and blossoming!

Su Zheng, understanding her feelings, was very happy and took Tsunade to a casino.

At the Land of Rain casino, Tsunade looked at the slot machine in front of her and immediately got into character, sitting on the chair and starting to play.

Su Zheng just watched her quietly. Her stunning profile was intoxicating!

"Congratulations, you've hit the jackpot!"

The machine announced the win. Tsunade glanced at Su Zheng. This had never happened before; she always "lost every bet." Could Su Zheng change her luck?

Tsunade, still skeptical, switched to another machine and, to her surprise, won consecutively.

"That's great, you're my lucky star!" Tsunade happily kissed Su Zheng on the cheek.

Regarding Tsunade's "always losing" constitution, he had considered it before. Either her stats were all focused on her body, leading to bad luck in gambling, or it was a powerful character trait that couldn't be broken!

However, Su Zheng felt the former was more likely. Her attack style relied entirely on her body, which was completely contrary to the Slug Sage's teachings, leading to this situation.

Regarding the Three Great Sage Regions and Sage Mode, Su Zheng had a guess. They shouldn't always be a one-to-one correspondence. It was fine for Jiraiya to learn Sage Mode from Mount Myōboku.

It was fundamentally impossible for Orochimaru to learn Sage Mode from the White Snake Sage's Cave. First of all, he had undergone multiple reincarnations, his body wasn't his own, and his soul wasn't pure, mixed with the residual souls of his vessels. He simply couldn't learn Sage Mode.

Furthermore, the Sage Mode of the Slug Sage's teachings was a mental attack, completely contrary to Tsunade's physical attacks. How could she abandon her own strength to learn powers she was completely unfamiliar with?

In the early stages, the three major summoning beasts corresponding to the Sannin made sense. In the later stages, with strengthened settings, Sage Mode simply couldn't correspond. Are you telling me someone who has practiced body cultivation their entire life would abandon their body to learn internal energy? That's ridiculous!

Su Zheng's home.

Having bought groceries, Su Zheng entered the kitchen. Today, he was going to prepare a feast to celebrate his relationship with Tsunade.

Tsunade sat on the sofa, her face flushed. It felt like being reviewed, a mix of joy and trepidation, worrying she wouldn't do well...

In reality, there wasn't that much to worry about. Besides Su Zheng, there were only a few children at home. Hanzo had completely retired (though he wasn't old), and his parents weren't around.

With Tsunade's "big sister" aura, she was more than capable of handling these matters. Only when you love someone do you care about these things!

A short while later, Nawaki returned first. Su Zheng had arranged for him to work in the development department, overseeing the work of various factories. This was much better than a dangerous profession like being a ninja!

The reason Su Zheng had sealed his memories was also to impact his thinking.

In this world, most people only saw ninjas and not the lives of ordinary people. Naturally, they couldn't understand the suffering of ordinary people. When Nawaki recovered his memories, Su Zheng believed he would make better choices.

Having a lover really changed things. Her previous carefree demeanor of lecturing her brother had vanished, replaced by that of a silly girl with a face as beautiful as a flower!

Love makes people foolish (to some extent), it's true!

Not long after, Yahiko and Konan returned, bringing Shizune with them.

"Sister Tsunade!" several sweet voices called out. Tsunade beamed foolishly.

"So, I've been accepted? That's great!"

Thanks to Su Zheng's guidance, he had prepared small gifts for everyone. Those who received gifts called out even more affectionately.

Soon after, the food was ready. Su Zheng brought the dishes to the table, their aroma filling the air!

Su Zheng stood up and said, "This is Tsunade, and Shizune. Tsunade is a very outstanding female ninja!"

"We live close by, so we can visit often in the future!"

"Let's eat!"

Everyone dug in heartily. Konan, seeing her brother constantly serving Tsunade, felt a bit jealous and asked Haruna, "Do you think brother likes Sister Tsunade, that's why he invited her over?"

Haruna naturally understood and helped explain, "Brother certainly has his own considerations. Are you feeling jealous!"

"I..." Konan wanted to argue, but seeing her brother serving her food, she let it go.

After dinner, Tsunade sat on the sofa to digest her meal. Watching Su Zheng busy in the kitchen, her heart filled with sweetness.

Ever since she had seen Nawaki again, she had decided that this kind of life was good. She would never put Nawaki in danger again. Ninjas, villages, none of it mattered anymore!

She wanted to cherish the beauty in her heart until the end of her life!

Su Zheng said, "Tomorrow I'm going to inspect our company. I might be away for a few days, so you stay home and wait for me!"

"Okay!"

The beauty within her heart was like aged wine, growing more fragrant with time!

PS: As the author is new, my writing skills are quite limited. Regarding the relationship with Tsunade, I initially thought of developing it step by step, but unexpectedly, it just flowed naturally! (Perhaps it felt a bit forced.)

Actually, I spent a long time on this chapter, taking half a day to write the first version (which was really unreadable) before rewriting it. (That is, after finishing chapter 34.)

The author is really not good at writing romance scenes. These parts are just my own guesses, and they might be a bit awkward, so be it. I felt the same way while writing them.
