At her words, Yechen rolled his eyes.
"Don't talk nonsense. Miyuki is my comrade, and right now, she's only my little sister. It's not what you think."
"Oh, getting shy now?" Tsunade teased.
"All right, you win. Are you going to accept my offer or not?"
Helpless, Yechen could only change the subject.
Tsunade still shook her head, then continued rushing ahead.
Yechen followed her, puzzled, and asked,
"What, you don't want them brought back to life?"
"That's not it." Tsunade fell silent for a moment before saying,
"I'm not ready, and I don't know how to face them. If I ever sort out my feelings, I'll ask you for help. You'd better not refuse me then."
Yechen sighed. It seemed this approach wouldn't work for recruiting Tsunade.
He cared so much about recruiting her not because she was beautiful, but because she could contribute far more than Jiraiya.
The Gods Alliance was expanding rapidly, and medical ninja were indispensable. Having experienced war, Yechen knew how important a medical ninja was to a team.
Assigning a medical ninja to a team could often drastically reduce its casualties.
That was precisely why Yechen was so eager to have Tsunade join the Gods Alliance and establish a medical ninja training academy.
He had thought she would certainly agree once he proposed the idea. After all, Tsunade had been the one to suggest it in the first place.
But Hiruzen Sarutobi had rejected it back then, because training a medical ninja required far more time and resources than training an ordinary ninja.
Konoha couldn't bear that burden, so the Konoha High Command had never adopted the proposal.
Now Yechen was proposing a system of one medical ninja per squad, yet to his surprise, Tsunade still hadn't agreed.
Without Tsunade, the medical ninja training
