Tsunade's Anger, Gaara's Drunkenness

"Tsunade-sama, what should we do next?"

Watching Tsunade remain silent, Shizune grew somewhat anxious. Although Tsunade-sama had not said a word, she could sense her anger.

It had been a long time since she had seen Tsunade-sama this angry.

"Go home and sleep." Tsunade merely said this before heading straight home, as though the matter had not caused even a ripple in her heart.

"..." Shizune looked at Tsunade and could only follow helplessly behind her.

She knew Tsunade had to be furious right now, but she had no way to console her. She did not even know what Tsunade wanted to do.

"Tsunade-sama... If there's something you want to do, just say it. I'll do it with you!" Seeing Tsunade's condition, Shizune could not help stepping forward to offer some comfort, wanting to share her burden.

"I'm fine." Tsunade looked up at Shizune. Calm had already returned to her eyes as she said evenly, "I just didn't expect that after being away for so long, everything would have changed. Heh... everything has changed!"

Tsunade felt bitter, but there were things she intended to do. Shizune was too weak, and there was no need for her to risk herself because of her.

Besides, she needed time to prepare.

"Tsunade-sama, it's not that everything changed. It's people's hearts that changed. Maybe they had merely been suppressing their true feelings all along!" Hearing Tsunade's helpless words, Shizune's tone turned serious as she tried her best to comfort her.

She did not want Tsunade-sama, who had only just recovered from the psychological illness of hemophobia, to fall into another mental disorder.

She would never allow it!

"Is that so? Maybe..." Tsunade smiled as well, but this smile did not reach her eyes. She murmured, "I always knew that old man was a hypocrite!
