A gentle breeze blew through the air, bringing a bank of dark clouds that blotted out the sun!
In the shadows by the corner of the wall, Tsunade and Uchiha Lei gazed into each other's eyes like a couple deeply in love, both unable to help swallowing!
An ill-timed voice broke their silence.
"Tsunade, Lei, why did you suddenly leave?"
Hearing Kushina Uzumaki's greeting, the blush faded from Tsunade's face, and her eyes turned cold again. She turned to Uchiha Lei, gave him a meaningful look, and scolded him:
"Lei, why did you suddenly take me away? That was completely out of line!"
"Sorry, sorry! I wanted to learn a new ninjutsu, so I dragged Teacher Tsunade away!"
Uchiha Lei understood immediately and apologized on the spot, then naturally reached out to take Tsunade's delicate hand!
Of course, Tsunade would not let Uchiha Lei have his way. She did not want to be a weak girlfriend at Lei's beck and call!
Tsunade pulled her delicate hand back and folded her arms across her chest. Her full breasts trembled, forming a beautiful curve in front of her!
Kushina Uzumaki noticed this and felt that something was off about them. They seemed a little too intimate. She walked up to them and murmured:
"Lei, Tsunade, are you two dating?"
"Is it that obvious?"
Uchiha Lei admitted it outright in a quiet voice, curious about Kushina Uzumaki's reaction!
Tsunade lightly bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth and glanced at Uchiha Lei, as though saying, Why did you just admit it?
Uchiha Lei thought nothing of it and said cheerfully:
"Kushina, I can't keep going only to your bedroom anymore. Tsunade will get jealous!"
"I can tell. Tsunade is just the sort of woman who gets a little jealous!"
Kushina Uzumaki agreed, feeling that it was perfectly normal for Tsunade to become her sister!
Tsunade could not quite understand Kushina Uzumaki's reaction either. Her brows drew together, and she asked quietly:
"Kushina, aren't you angry at all?"
"Why would I be angry? I'd be angry if you married some random person, Tsunade!"
Kushina Uzumaki walked naturally to Uchiha Lei's side, linked her fair arm through his, and pressed her soft breasts against his upper arm!
Uchiha Lei raised a hand and rubbed Kushina Uzumaki's head, a gentle smile appearing on his face:
"Such a good girl, Kushina!"
Kushina Uzumaki smiled sweetly and pushed her head into Uchiha Lei's palm!
Her smile was very sweet, as cloying as honey, making even their surroundings seem coated in sugar!
Tsunade's throat felt choked by the sweetness too. Feeling that Kushina Uzumaki was devaluing herself by acting this way, she rebuked her quietly:
"Kushina, is it appropriate to cling to each other in public?"
"He's my fiancé!"
Kushina Uzumaki answered bluntly, naturally resting her head on his shoulder and closing her eyes to rest!
Kushina acted as though she were in her own room. Lei's arm was her cozy bed, and closing her eyes meant a comfortable rest!
Tsunade had no answer. She could only pout her pink lips and watch the two flaunt their affection in front of her. Even her breathing quickened, and she felt as though something had lodged in her throat. It was terribly uncomfortable!
She did not want to spend another second in this atmosphere. Her hands blurred through hand seals, and before leaving with the Body Flicker Technique, she left them with these words:
"Lei, Mikoto, Kushina, you're on my team. Meet at the Hokage Building at nine tomorrow morning!"
"Kushina, let's go find Mikoto!"
After saying this, Uchiha Lei formed hand seals with one hand in a blur and appeared on the training ground!
Only after seeing Uchiha Lei did Uchiha Mikoto breathe a sigh of relief. The corners of her mouth lifted slightly into a gentle smile, and she flickered to Lei's side, asking with concern:
"Lei, where did you go just now? I was worried about you!"
"I chatted with Tsunade for a while!"
Uchiha Lei answered casually, then relayed Tsunade's words to Uchiha Mikoto and reminded her gently:
"Mikoto, don't be late for nine tomorrow. I'll take Kushina home now!"
"All right, Lei. See you tomorrow!"
Uchiha Mikoto spoke with a smile, then her hands blurred through hand seals as she used the Body Flicker Technique to leave!
Meanwhile, Uchiha Lei took Kushina Uzumaki toward Tsunade's Mansion with the Body Flicker Technique!
Inside Tsunade's Mansion...
Mito Uzumaki sat on the sofa facing the living room door, her expression kindly!
Tsunade sat in a daze on the sofa to the right, propping her chin on her left hand. The earlier scene played before her eyes, and she let out a silly laugh from time to time!
"Hehe!"
Seeing his sister looking like a woman in love, Nawaki could not help asking:
"Sis, when are you bringing my brother-in-law home?"
"Little Tsunade, have you found a boyfriend?"
Mito Uzumaki asked, looking pleasantly surprised!
Tsunade thought of how she had said she would make it public. Uchiha Lei would surely understand what she meant. A blush rose on her fair face, and she stammered:
"He'll be here soon. Let him tell you himself when he gets here!"
"My brother-in-law's coming soon? This is a big deal!"
Nawaki looked delighted and was very happy for his sister. He stood up and shouted toward Little Purple in the kitchen:
"Little Purple, hurry and make a feast! My brother-in-law's coming early tonight!"
Little Purple answered enthusiastically:
"Of course, Lord Nawaki! I'll prepare a feast right away!"
There was a click.
Someone opened the front door!
Still very excited, Nawaki immediately flickered over to greet him. Rubbing his hands together in front of him, he said happily:
"Brother-in-law, since you're marrying my sister, shouldn't you give me a present?"
But the ones who opened the door were a happy-looking Uchiha Lei and Kushina Uzumaki!
Nawaki's face fell when he saw them. Pouting, he scolded them sternly:
"Kushina, Uchiha Lei, my brother-in-law's coming today. Mind how you behave!"
"Isn't your brother-in-law right here?"
Kushina Uzumaki glanced at Nawaki, then shook Uchiha Lei's arm with hers to indicate him!
Nawaki's face turned livid, and he roared:
"Kushina, stop joking! Isn't Uchiha Lei your fiancé? What does he have to do with my brother-in-law?"
"But Kushina's telling the truth! Ask your sister if you don't believe her!"
Uchiha Lei glanced casually at Nawaki. Thinking he should show Tsunade some respect, he reached into his chest pocket, took out a hundred thousand ryo in banknotes, and stuffed them into Nawaki's pocket. Only then did he pat his shoulder and say:
"My dear little brother, here's a present from your brother-in-law. Don't complain that it's too little!"
Nawaki had intended to throw the money on the ground, but Uchiha Lei had given him too much. Somewhat reluctant to part with it, he asked:
"Where did you get so much money? Are you sure you're not joking? My sister's a raging she-dragon..."
Nawaki was halfway through speaking when Tsunade's furious voice rang out behind him:
"Nawaki, if you don't know how to talk properly, shut your damn mouth!"
Mito Uzumaki could also see that her granddaughter really did seem interested in Uchiha Lei, and a serene smile appeared on her face!
Now everyone was happy. Little Tsunade's future was settled too!
She had not expected Little Tsunade, who spoke ill of Lei every day, to end up becoming a couple with him!
However, the day she could hold a great-grandson would have to be pushed back eight years. There would be quite a wait!
Nawaki crouched down, covered his head with both hands, and shut his eyes in terror, preparing for Tsunade's fist!
Tsunade also flickered to Nawaki's side, raising her right hand and clenching it into a fist, ready to teach Nawaki a lesson for not knowing how to watch his mouth!
Uchiha Lei reached out and caught Tsunade's raised, delicate hand. He shook his head at her and advised her quietly:
"Tsunade, getting too angry is bad for you. Nawaki just misspoke!"
"Since your brother-in-law spoke up for you, I'll let you off this time!"
Tsunade's tone was unusually gentle. She naturally linked her arm through Uchiha Lei's and led him over to her grandmother, Mito Uzumaki, bowing as she said:
"Grandma, this is the grandson-in-law I found for you. Do you like him?"
"Yes, very much! As long as it's Lei, I'm delighted!"
Mito Uzumaki answered happily, looking forward to the future more and more!
When Tsunade's iron fist still did not arrive, Nawaki cautiously opened his eyes, only to discover that his sister had already taken Uchiha Lei back to the sofa. He breathed a sigh of relief too!
Then Nawaki also walked over to the sofa and sat down before turning to Uchiha Lei and saying:
"Lei, we might not get along, but that's between us. It has nothing to do with my sister. Treat her well!"
"Don't worry, Nawaki. I'll treat Tsunade well. Let me prove it to you!"
To prove it to Nawaki, Uchiha Lei brought his pale-red lips close to Tsunade's fair, tender cheek and gave it a peck, then settled back into his seat on the sofa!
Caught off guard by the peck, Tsunade's face instantly turned blood-red, and she immediately showed her gentle, womanly side!
Tsunade shook Uchiha Lei's arm with her delicate arm and said bashfully in a soft voice:
"What are you doing? So many people are watching!"
"Amazing! Brother-in-law, you're amazing!"
Looking impressed, Nawaki raised his arm and gave Uchiha Lei a thumbs-up in approval, his resolve growing even firmer!
As long as I'm stronger, even a tigress like my sister will become a gentle woman!
I have to get stronger!
