Naruto and Shadow

Ever since he received the mission of Kannabi Bridge, his whole mind was still buzzing.

It wasn’t until he saw Obito walking towards him that he gradually woke up.

If you try to distance yourself from people like Obito, you might be able to live longer.

Hino Hikaru thought silently in his heart.

As a result, he soon broke up with the three members of the Minato class on bad terms.

“Maybe tonight will be the last night I sleep here.”

Back at Tsunade’s house, Hino Hikaru opened the door again.

Speaking of which, he hasn’t taken a good look at the furnishings of this room.

But it doesn’t seem that important now.

Because he stuck his fingers on the table When the dust arrived, Hino Hikaru turned around and fetched a bucket of water and a rag to start cleaning. He had to go on a mission early tomorrow morning, and at least he had to clean up the room he had stayed in before leaving.

“Hey, kid, why is the Sandaime looking for you? Does he want you to go to the battlefield?”

Just when Hino Hikaru was about to finish cleaning the room, a big-breasted sister suddenly came to the door.

“Tsunade Ko���Why are you back so early today?”

Hino Hikaru did not answer, but continued to wipe the seat silently with a rag.

Then he stopped at a photo frame.

It was a photo of Tsunade and her brother Naoki… 1

“There is no place for me to intervene in the hospital, so I can just leave the cleaning work to Shizune.”

Tsunade saw the reflection of Hino Hikaru on the glass surface of the picture frame.

The two people’s eyes were looking at each other after being reflected by the glass.

“She is already very busy, and I… after all, it is my own room, so it would be better for me to clean it myself.”

After wiping, Hino Hikaru put the front of the frame back on the table, leaving only the bracket on the back still facing the ceiling.

“I’m going to find the Sandaime and ask you to stay and help me in the hospital.”

Tsunade clasped her hands tightly, and then said softly

“……”

Hearing Tsunade’s words and feeling the elder sister’s tenderness and care, Hino Hikaru fell into a brief silence.

To be honest, he had thought about Tsunade’s proposal.

But it was only for a moment.

Although he hopes that he can get it for longer, it does not mean that he is afraid of death.

“Don’t worry, I’m just assigned to handle some small battlefield logistics tasks.”

Since the incident at Cowherd’s Shop, Hino Hikaru can still feel that the distance between him and Tsunade is getting closer, although only a little bit.

They are not siblings, but they are not yet lovers.

This feeling The wonderful and hard-won bond made Hino Hikaru, an”indifferent traveler”, feel the warmth of the world for the first time.

“The Third Hokage would not give such a lucrative job to a civilian genin with no potential.”

Tsunade is not ignorant. On the contrary, she understands her teacher’s side as a politician and a selfish politician.

“But not long ago, didn’t he arrange for me to be sent to the hospital and next to you according to your request?”

In front of someone who really cares about you, you will instinctively not want to make the other person worry.

So Hino Hikaru is trying to convince Tsunade in front of him

“Because the current situation in the village has become so difficult that he has nothing to do. Under this situation, he no longer cares about me, a useless disciple.”

As the legendary Sannin of Konoha Village, it is not difficult for Tsunade to obtain battle reports from the front lines.

“One day, Miss Tsunade will overcome her illness, and by that time……”

Hino Hikaru originally wanted to say,”You might become the new Hokage,” but after thinking about it, he felt that such a future might not be a good thing for Tsunade.

“What is the mission?”

But Tsunade is already a little impatient.

“One of the rules of the ninja is not to reveal mission information to unrelated people.……”

Plop.

Water splashed everywhere.

Before Hino Hikaru could explain the so-called ninja rules, Tsunade angrily kicked over the bucket on the ground.

“Say it!”

Her clenched fist seemed to be about to hit the boy in front of her on the head at any time.

“Otherwise I will go find the Hokage now!”

“Miss Tsunade, what is the relationship between you and me now?”

Hino Hikaru wiped the water stains on the floor with a rag, and turned around to look at Tsunade’s expression quietly.

“I’m neither your brother nor your lover. There’s no need for you to do such troublesome things for me, right? It’s just an ordinary acquaintance relationship established because of a misunderstanding. It’s like a goldfish raised in a pond. After it dies, just feel sorry for it for a while. It’s not necessary.……”2

“Is necessary!”

Tsunade was also thinking about her relationship with this boy at this time.

Although she couldn’t figure out what her relationship was with him, there was no doubt that she didn’t want to see him die.

So she blurted out

“The fish I raise can be raised to death by me or drowned in water, but they cannot be killed by others. Are you satisfied with this reason?”4

“I will come back alive”

“I have heard this kind of thing many times, and I don’t want to hear it again. In this case, I will beat you here until you break your bones!”

Tsunade has already rolled up her sleeves.

“It doesn’t matter, even if I do very dangerous tasks, I can come back alive every time. You should have checked my previous information.”

Hino Hikaru didn’t expect that Tsunade would make such a resolute rebuttal for him.

This reminded him of his first mission out of the village when he became a genin.

Because he was the only one who had the ability to escape, they completed the mission together. His companions all made the decision to sacrifice themselves to help him lure away the enemy. 4 And he could only watch helplessly as those companions who had just established contact with him were killed by the enemy bit by bit…

The pain of death, the despair of life, and the numbness of being alone.

Even if he fantasizes about being a”cold time traveler”, he will inevitably be awakened by the feeling of despair from time to time at night.

Therefore, he has long since Be prepared to die

“Moreover, it is impossible for you to defeat me now, Miss Tsunade.”

As far as the current Konoha Village is concerned, even if he continues to rely on Tsunade to avoid the mission this time, there will be another time.

And in this situation of all-out war, even leaving the village or even rebelling against the village is not necessarily How safe would it be?

Might as well accept my identity as an ordinary civilian ninja in Konoha

“You guy!”

Looking at the young man in front of her smiling and opening his palm with a kunai, Tsunade was so angry that she was shaking all over.

But unfortunately, she couldn’t overcome the fear that hemophobia brought to her now. She could only instinctively turn her head away, and then retreat backward

——

It wasn’t until night that Hino Hikaru saw Tsunade for the second time.

This big-breasted sister looks a little bit gray now

“Tsunade-sama, you are so messy today.……”

Shizune, who had been busy in the hospital all day, was complaining softly behind Tsunade.

“After I heard that you almost demolished the Hokage Building, I was so worried that my heart almost stopped. Fortunately, everything was fine in the end.……”

“I was hungry and went to prepare dinner.”

But Tsunade had no intention of chatting with Shizune at all.

After driving Shizune away, she walked straight towards Hino Hikari

“hand.”

Hino Hikaru was a little stunned at first. He didn’t expect that Tsunade actually went to find Sarutobi Hiruzen.

“Give me your hand!”

Tsunade increased the volume.

Hino Hikaru, who finally came to his senses, obediently handed over his hand that was scratched with a kunai.

The soft light from the medical ninjutsu quickly healed Hino Hikaru’s nearly dying condition. scabbed palms

“Do you really have to go?”

“It’s not that you have to go, but sometimes, escaping doesn’t solve the problem.”

Hino Hikaru used his healed palm to tightly grasp Tsunade’s delicate hand that was helping him, and refused to let her take it back.

“It’s been a long time since I felt Miss Tsunade’s warmth and softness.”

“boring.”

But Tsunade was obviously not satisfied with his answer, so she pulled out her hand very hard

“If you want to die, go die and don’t bother me again.”

“I won’t die.”2

Last time Hino Hikaru said this maybe just to comfort him, but this time he was completely serious. He made a big fuss in the Hokage Building and was still very angry when he came back, but he still healed his injured hand first.

This kind of Tsunade is no longer the Tsunade who is separated from him by the dimensional barrier.

It is the warm Tsunade who belongs to him.

“If you say you love me now, even if the enemy is Uchiha Madara, I will come back alive to see you.”1

“You’re such a brat, how could I like you… Don’t be so sentimental.”

Crossing her arms across her chest, Tsunade turned her body and turned her back to the boy in front of her.

Uchiha Madara had already died under her grandfather’s sword.

“Then make a bet, if I can come back alive, you will let me hug you again, if not……”On the 2nd

, Hikaru took out the note Tsunade had given him from his arms.

“You don’t have to pay back this IOU.”

“A hug?”2

Tsunade was a little surprised at first, and then quickly became angry and ashamed.

Because she quickly understood the meaning of this hug.

“Because Miss Tsunade’s body is very warm, I like it very much.”

And even when viewed from behind, it’s very tempting.

Hino Hikaru spent most of his free days admiring Tsunade’s beauty. It

‘s the same now.

“you simply……”

Hopeless?

Tsunade didn’t understand or understand that she was clearly in her thirties, but the boy next to her was only sixteen or seventeen years old.

Could it be that he is also the same pervert as Jiraiya?

No, that’s not right. During the time we were together, although his eyes were sometimes not very serious, he never put it into practice. It was obvious that sometimes she was deliberately unprepared…

She didn’t even have a chance to fight him off. 1

“What do you think, Miss Tsunade?”

“This is like an agreement, not a bet.”

At times like this, what Tsunade hates most is gambling.

“No, you can bet on whether I can come back or not.”4

“……”

“If you don’t want to choose first, then I will go first. I bet I can’t come back. In this case, Miss Tsunade can only bet that I can come back alive.”

“Are you a dummy? Or do you really don’t want to live anymore?”

Knowing that she will lose every time she bets, yet let her bet on whether she can

“No, I really don’t want to die now, but I want Miss Tsunade to bet that I can live, and I want you to know that with me, you will not lose every bet, but win every time!”

On the 2nd, Hikari looked very firmly at his eldest sister who had already faced him again.

“You are hopeless……”4
