Chapter 162 Tsunade's Thoughts
"♪Hmph—Hmph! Hmph!♪!"
~"
Southwest Front, Headquarters.
Jingyin held a stack of documents in her hand, stamping them while humming an unknown tune, in a very cheerful mood.
This cheerful mood was quickly noticed by the leaders.
"What's wrong? Aren't you busy?"
"You look so happy, like you've found money."
Shizune felt a pang of panic and turned to see Tsunade leaning back in her office chair, completely unladylike, with her feet on the sand table and her bright red nail polish standing out conspicuously.
She felt a sense of relief.
Since the leader is in a good mood, it's not a big deal if he gets caught.
Jingyin said, "Of course I'm happy to have won the battle."
"Isn't Lady Tsunade happy too?"
Tsunade smiled meaningfully.
"I'm happy because we won the battle, but I don't necessarily think someone else is happy."
Shizune felt a pang of unease, then pretended not to understand and continued stamping.
Tsunade, however, had no intention of letting her off easily: "Alright, alright, stop pretending to be busy."
"Your paper is almost completely covered in red paper."
Silently shrank her neck, tore up the scrap paper, and threw it into the trash can.
"Tell me, what are your thoughts?"
Mute; "What are you thinking?"
Tsunade: "About Shingetsu Seiun's upcoming promotion to Jonin? Aren't you happy about that?"
Shizune said, "Lady Tsunade, what are you saying?"
"The village has gained another young Jonin, aren't you happy?"
Tsunade said lazily, "What's there for me to be happy about? I'm just the commander of the Southwest Front, not the Hokage."
Shizune chuckled, "Lady Tsunade, I think with your abilities and prestige, becoming Hokage is definitely not a problem."
"Forget it." Tsunade looked disgusted. "After the war, I'll find a peaceful place to retire. Only a fool would become Hokage."
"I'm more interested in your affairs than becoming Hokage."
"Me?" Shizune pointed to herself. "What do I need?"
"Kamizuki Nebula!" Tsunade laughed. "How about it? Such a handsome and outstanding young ninja, don't you want to give him a try?"
"Lady Tsunade!" Shizune said angrily, "What are you talking about? What do you mean by 'try it'? I don't understand."
Tsunade: "If you don't understand, I'll explain it to you."
"So, are you being a little bolder?"
"I can arrange it for you, if you want."
Upon hearing this, Jingyin suppressed her anticipation and asked, "Help me? How?"
"Are you trying to set me up with Nebula?"
"There's no need for all that trouble!" Tsunade said. "I'm not a matchmaker, I don't know how to bring people together."
"However~" she drawled, revealing her plan to the expectant gaze of the silent girl.
"I am an excellent medical ninja."
"Even if I'm not as good as Chiyo in terms of poisoning, I'm still confident I can deal with Shingetsu Seiun."
"Just ask, and I can prepare some for you—"
"Alright! Lady Tsunade!" Shizune interrupted Tsunade urgently, preventing her from uttering any inappropriate words.
"Stop talking, I'm not interested."
Tsunade pressed, "Are you sure?"
"It's very easy for me to help you on the front lines. Once the war is over, you won't have the chance even if you wanted to."
Shizune: "I'm sure, Lady Tsunade, let's get back to work."
Tsunade shook her head in disappointment: "Boring~"
"I wanted to show you my skills, but all my efforts have been in vain."
Putting aside her teasing, Tsunade sat up straight and picked up the documents on the table to begin reviewing them. Although the war was over, she, as the commander, wasn't without her responsibilities; she still needed to rack her brains for follow-up arrangements.
She quietly flipped through the latest intelligence, leaving only Shizune standing there blankly, her hands unconsciously turning the pages of the documents, her face still flushed.
Lady Tsunade is really something, how could she say such a thing?
They even poisoned him.
If they really poisoned Nebula, how—how—
hey-hey----"
Life on the southwestern front settled down.
There was no disturbance, no battle, and even after the Sand Village ninjas retreated and regrouped, they did not approach again.
Shenyue Xingyun's days began to become dull again.
It's really boring.
On the southwestern front, his girlfriend was not there; he only had his close comrade-in-arms, Xi Ri Hong, by his side.
Every day, he would practice the hand seals for the Great Fireball Technique, and then watch Kurenai encourage Sarutobi Asuma to go out and practice his swordsmanship.
In the end, the atmosphere in the camp became more and more relaxed, and the ninjas' activity distance was no longer strictly restricted. Might Guy came over excitedly to train with him.
Shenyue Xingyun was initially hesitant.
But Might Guy was just too persistent! So persistent that he had no choice but to reluctantly agree, so that the other wouldn't be constantly pestering him for sparring. After firmly refusing the green bodysuit, he began their youthful training together at the camp.
Wherever the two went, the men and women in the camp all cast their curious glances.
Some ninjas thought that Shen Yue Xingyun's ability to train without caring about others' opinions in such an environment truly demonstrated both talent and hard work. Others thought that the two ninjas were being too flamboyant and immature.
Such childish behavior is not appealing to women.
Then, after a period of time.
"Nebula Jonin, are you thirsty? I have some freshly brewed tea here, would you like to try some?"
"Jonin Nebula, I have some freshly picked fruit here, would you like one? I've washed it."
"Nebula Jonin, may I train with you? Seeing how hard you're working, I'm inspired by your youthful spirit." The female ninjas, who had been confined to the team, were finally freed after the camp's discipline was relaxed, and they all rushed towards Shingetsu Nebula.
The male ninja in the camp: "————"
Damn it! These shallow female ninjas!
For a while afterward, life became increasingly peaceful. Even with the continuous gathering, the number of female ninjas surrounding the Divine Moon Nebula remained consistently high. Some were rejected and silently gave up, while new female ninjas joined the pursuit.
Just because they can't do it doesn't mean I can't!" With this attitude, Shenyue Xingyun and Might Guy's training was never peaceful.
The investigation into Sunagakure continues, and intelligence is being sent back steadily.
Kirigakure began organizing its forces to attack Sunagakure.
Scorching Release user Yogura and some Jonin returned to the village to provide support.
Subsequently, the war between Sunagakure and Kirigakure escalated, and Chiyo appeared on the Kirigakure front. Soon after, Ebizo, who was in charge of intelligence, also set off.
On the southwestern front, Sunagakure's forces were repeatedly withdrawn, eventually retreating to their homeland for defense, leaving only a small number of troops under the leadership of Jonin to maintain vigilance and defense.
Sunagakure was no longer able to fight Konoha. After confirming the intelligence, the troops on the southwestern front began to move to the village one after another, awaiting a new round of arrangements.
One group of ninjas after another packed their belongings and returned to the village. Some time later, the Shingetsu Seiun squad also received the order to retreat. Shingetsu Seiun led a group of ninjas back to the village.
"Ah~ it's finally over."
Lying on the wagon carrying supplies, Sarutobi Asuma rested his head on his hands, looked at the azure sky, and sighed.
