"That was only because your strength had reached the level of a village's Kage. Otherwise, even with a pair of three-tomoe Sharingan, you couldn't have killed the Third Kazekage."
Tsunade could not help reaching out to stroke Hyuga Wuye's cheek. "I never expected you to grow so quickly. In the blink of an eye, you've surpassed me."
Her red lips curved into a breathtaking smile. "I'm suddenly a little happy. After all, you can be considered my proud disciple."
"What's so special about surpassing you?"
Wuye pulled her into his arms. "I'm going to press you beneath me too!"
"Is that so?"
Tsunade's beautiful eyes shifted. "Then who was it that, halfway through the battle, insisted I move on my own for five minutes?"
"You won't get that chance next time!"
Wuye viciously bit her lips.
Tsunade expertly hooked her arms around his neck, tilting her head back slightly as she enjoyed the intimate kiss.
Shizune covered her eyes with her little hands, secretly leaving a gap between her fingers.
Slug's tiny feelers curled up as well, trembling as though they too were covering her eyes.
After a long while, the kiss ended and their lips parted.
Tsunade panted softly for a while, and only then did the shock in her heart over Hyuga Wuye killing the Third Kazekage slowly subside.
"A ninja hailed by Sand Village as the strongest Kazekage actually died just like that..."
She pressed her cheek against Hyuga Wuye's neck and softly breathed in his scent. "Wuye, I can't quite see through your strength anymore..."
"I've also been converting natural energy into vitality, but it consumes an enormous amount of chakra. So I learned the Uzumaki clan's Yin Seal as well, to store chakra in reserve..."
Tsunade suddenly hugged his waist with a trace of loneliness.
