Natsuki then looked at the child Tsunade was holding. The child was a little older than Himawari.
"The moment I leave, you all start having kids in groups, huh?" Natsuki joked.
Like Hinata, Tsunade had given birth, yet her body had been conditioned so well that there was no difference from before.
Tsunade clicked her tongue twice. "It's just a coincidence. What about you?"
As she spoke, she gave Haku beside him a meaningful look.
Natsuki shook his head helplessly and held out his hand to Haku. Haku obediently leaned over, took his hand, and gave it two little swings.
He greeted Tsunade, "Hello, Lady Tsunade."
After thinking for a moment, Tsunade handed the child in her arms to Dan Katō beside her.
She bent down and looked into Haku's eyes. "Is this what you wanted?"
Tsunade had no idea what Natsuki had said to Haku, but the conflicted feeling around him had disappeared, and his mental state had returned to normal.
Haku leaned against Natsuki somewhat dependently. "Lady Tsunade, I was wrong."
"Lord Natsuki has always loved me."
Natsuki affectionately reached out and patted Haku on the head.
Naruto and Sasuke, standing nearby, looked somewhat surprised as well.
What was this? They had already mentally prepared themselves to see whether their master would get together with Haku after returning.
But now, it seemed that wasn't the case?
Kimimaro said softly, "Lord Natsuki's love for Haku is the same as his love for all of us."
Naruto scratched his head, feeling rather awkward.
So Master didn't have some unusual fetish after all...
"Now you understand, right?" Natsuki asked Tsunade.
Tsunade saw it too. Natsuki's gaze toward Haku had always been clear and pure.
Natsuki had always regarded Haku as family, like a younger sibling or a son.
She straightened up
