Took a Huge Advantage of Tsunade by Accident

The Daimyo's Court and the Senju Clan were related, and it was even closer to Tsunade.

With the New Year approaching, it was only proper for Tsunade, as a junior, to visit the daimyo.

No one could find fault with that.

Besides, it had been Mito Uzumaki's idea.

The next day, Tsunade went to the Hokage Office with an annoyed look on her face, then left the village and headed straight for the Daimyo's Court.

Mito Uzumaki had asked Tsunade to visit the daimyo as a junior, and the Third Hokage supported it with both hands and feet.

He even hoped Tsunade would stay at the Daimyo's Court and spend the New Year with the daimyo, thereby bringing the Daimyo's Court and the village closer together.

Once their relationship improved, it would be easier to ask for money later.

After leaving the village, Tsunade did indeed go to the Daimyo's Court and visit the daimyo.

Then, after wandering around the Daimyo's Court for several days and buying quite a few things, she quietly left, took a detour, and headed for the border camp.

There were guards on duty at the camp day and night, but ordinary ninja would have had a hard time detecting Tsunade's infiltration.

After taking a detour from the Daimyo's Court, Tsunade arrived at the border camp and slipped inside.

Affected by the temperatures across the region, the Land of Rain and the surrounding areas had begun to see sleet. Occasionally, rain even fell mixed with shards of ice. This extreme weather had covered the entire Land of Rain and its neighboring regions in a thick layer of ice.

The temperature continued to drop.

Other than the ninja on guard duty, everyone in the camp stayed inside the wooden cabins to rest or keep warm by the fire.

The medical room was Jingyi's exclusive territory. Unless something came up, the other ninja did not come here.

Inside the cabin, Jingyi lay on the bed, holding a book he had brought from the village.

Someone had arrived. And it was someone he knew.

Jingyi put down his book and watched as the other person expertly pried open the medical room window and slipped inside in a flash.

Why were you so practiced at this?

You must have done this plenty of times before.

After climbing in through the window, Tsunade glanced at Jingyi reading on the bed and snorted.

"Not bad. The moment I got the news, I rushed to the Daimyo's Court under the excuse of visiting relatives, then took a detour and came here. Meanwhile, you still had the mood to read?"

"What else was I supposed to do?"

Jingyi replied irritably, "Spend every day on edge, trembling in fear? If I did that, I wouldn't need anyone else to secretly deal with me. I'd scare myself to death first."

"You should hurry up and get inside to warm yourself."

In the dead of winter, this freezing temperature was no joke. It was fortunate ninja were so resilient. If it had been an ordinary person running around like this, they would probably have died long ago.

Jingyi moved aside and gestured for Tsunade to get under the blanket and warm up.

At least you have a conscience. I didn't run all over the place for nothing.

Tsunade gave Jingyi an approving look.

Jingyi sensibly left the sleeping room so Tsunade could change clothes.

After Jingyi left, Tsunade swiftly pulled off her clothes, tossed her dripping wet outfit—underwear included—into the corner, and dove beneath the blanket the next second.

Wait!

After curling up beneath the blanket for a while and warming herself up, Tsunade instinctively reached for her clothes.

Her hand grasped nothing. Only then did she realize that she was not at home. There were no spare clothes piled beside the bed for her to change into, and the clothes she had been wearing had been thrown into the other corner of the room.

And they were all wet, so she could not wear them.

Holding a tray, Jingyi pushed open the door and walked into the room. The moment he entered, he saw the wet clothes in the corner. Without thinking much of it, he walked straight to the bed and held the tray out to Tsunade.

"Here. There are only two portions today. Conditions at the camp aren't like those in the village. This meat was from prey the captain brought back while on patrol."

Jingyi held the tray out for more than ten seconds before realizing something was wrong.

Didn't this girl usually rush to grab food? Why was she being so reserved today?

Could a female bandit be reserved too?

Under the blanket, Tsunade was so embarrassed that her toes nearly tore a hole through it.

She had calculated everything except bringing a change of clothes.

Even though she was usually carefree, she was still a woman. There were times when she felt embarrassed too.

When nothing happened for a long time, Jingyi found it strange. Tsunade was acting a little off today. Then he seemed to think of something, glanced back at the clothes in the corner, and understood.

You came in commando?

"Why the hell are you smiling?!"

Seeing Jingyi looking at her with an amused half-smile, Tsunade gritted her teeth in anger. She desperately wanted to jump out from under the blanket and slap him twice.

"Hahaha..."

It would have been better if Tsunade had not cursed at him. Jingyi could not hold back and burst out laughing.

At that moment, no matter how straightforward Tsunade was, she could not take it anymore. For the first time, her face flushed red. Furious and humiliated, she reached out, grabbed Jingyi's clothes, pinned him to the bed, covered him with the blanket, and raised her hand to hit him.

"Damn it, the tray!!"

He was still holding the tray, and it contained freshly fried meat. If it overturned, the whole bed would be covered in grease.

Noticing that the tray in his hand was about to fall, Jingyi could only forcefully manipulate his repulsive force to blast away the blanket falling over his face.

Before Tsunade's fist could land on Jingyi, she felt a powerful impact strike her. The blanket she had thrown over Jingyi tore into several pieces with a rip, and Tsunade froze with her fist raised.

Jingyi, who had rolled over to steady the tray in his hand, also froze.

This didn't seem like something children should see...

Not suitable for minors. Not suitable for minors!

Their eyes met. After staring at each other for several seconds, Jingyi stuffed the tray into Tsunade's hands, tossed down a sealing scroll, and fled.

"There are some spare clothes of mine in the scroll. They're men's clothes, but they've never been worn. You can make do with them for now."

What had that been just now?

A ninjutsu?

No, it had been more like a rebounding shockwave erupting from Jingyi's body.

Tsunade's head was still buzzing as she thought about what had just happened. She concluded that it was Jingyi's hidden secret, and she had accidentally forced it out of him.

Tsunade looked down at her own body, then laughed in anger. You little brat, just you wait. I'll settle this with you later.

If it had been anyone else in such a situation, they would have been mortified. Tsunade was embarrassed as hell, but she managed to keep her emotions under control.

If Jingyi had peeked on purpose or deliberately caused trouble, Tsunade would definitely have flown into a rage.

Jiraiya, who had nearly been beaten to death with one punch, was the best example.

After opening the sealing scroll and picking out an outfit that looked suitable, Tsunade got dressed, picked up the tray, and began eating.

Jingyi stood outside the door with his ears pricked. Only when he heard the sound of eating did the knot in his chest finally loosen.

If Tsunade was eating, it meant the situation was not as bad as he had imagined.

Even though he had accidentally taken a huge advantage of her.

Jingyi gently pushed open the door and peeked into the room. After confirming that Tsunade was dressed, he finally walked inside.

Tsunade glanced at Jingyi from the corner of her eye and said, "Grandmother and I discussed it. That old man definitely knows about this, otherwise he wouldn't have sent people to protect you. As for who wants to target you, I think you know perfectly well."

"It should be Shimura Danzō. If the Hokage wanted to target me, he wouldn't need to make things so troublesome, nor would he go out of his way to send people to secretly protect me."

Jingyi pulled over a chair, sat down, and analyzed the situation.

"In the village, he's the only one who would make a move against me. Although I don't understand what he's planning, Lord Hokage sending people to follow me means Shimura Danzō can't use the village's forces against me. He can only rely on outside forces."

"Putting out a bounty for an assassination is unlikely. Since I'm at the camp, ordinary ninja would struggle to carry out such an assassination. If the bounty were too high, it might bring him trouble instead. So outside forces are the first choice."

"Unless something unexpected happens, Amegakure is the most likely possibility."

"You're saying that old bastard Danzo could convince Amegakure to send people to assassinate you?"

Tsunade's hand holding the fork paused.

"Ibuse Hanzo shouldn't be that stupid. Directly attacking the camp would be equivalent to declaring war on the village. Amegakure wouldn't do something so risky."

"Amegakure might not attack the camp, but what about Hanzo?"
