Anyo wrapped an arm around Tsunade's shoulders, letting her lean against his chest, and said softly, "I know what you're worried about. I feel the same way. But some things aren't within your control. Even if you can suppress her desires for a while, what about the future?"
Tsunade replied unhappily, "I knew it. You were bound to take her side. You saw it with your own eyes the day my little brother Nawaki died. Do you intend to let my daughter follow in his footsteps?"
Anyo gently stroked her body and comforted her. "I understand the fear deep in your heart, but right now, you're missing something."
"What is it?" Tsunade raised her head, her eyes filled with confusion.
"Trust." Stars seemed to light up in Anyo's eyes. "Trust in me, and trust in our child. That trust is passed down from one generation to the next. If even her parents don't trust her, her future will be difficult. And you need to trust me, too. As long as I'm here, I won't let anyone hurt her."
Of course, there was something else Anyo kept to himself. If anyone dares lay a hand on my daughter, I'll be there in minutes to twist his head off, toss his body to Sasori to make a puppet, give his heart to Kakuzu as a spare, and use the Spirit Control Technique to have a good, thorough talk with his soul. I'll make him regret ever being alive.
After hearing Anyo's words, all the confusion in Tsunade's eyes turned to affection. Leaning against his chest, she murmured, "You said it. No going back on your word. You have to keep your promise."
"Of course," Anyo said firmly. "This is a promise I make on my life. It will always stand."
Love flowed
