picking edible mushrooms in the forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While picking mushrooms in the forest, Tsunade seemed to be somewhat absent-minded, and her thoughts seemed to have flown to some unknown place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Tsunade, your little boyfriend didn't lie just now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everything he said is true.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the figure of the Slug Sage was not seen around, the voice of the Slug Sage still sounded in Tsunade's ear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Slug Sage is the \"person behind\" referred to by Ryosuke Mizunuki.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since Ryosuke learned the secret technique of Yin Release, he has been very clear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a master who is proficient in Yin Release, it is too simple to see through whether the person in front of him is lying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And where is this?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the Shikkotsu Forest!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here is the most unfathomable summoning beast in the ninja world—the Slug Sage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryosuke was not naive enough to think that the Slug Sage would avoid his conversation with Tsunade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And as for whether the Slug Sage can use Yin Release?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"687\" The Slug Sage with Sage Art has no reason not to know Yin-Yang Release techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Slug Sage wants to see through whether a person is lying, it is probably simpler than breathing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is also why Ryosuke Mizunuki deliberately chose to tell the \"truth\" while avoiding making up a story.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the sound, Tsunade first breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, her cheeks, which were already faintly flushed, turned tomato-colored again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Everything he said is true!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's true!!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words echoed in Tsunade's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Princess Tsunade with brilliant charm!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if I strip away your identity, I would never sit idly by and watch you die before my eyes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryosuke's gentle voice seemed to echo in Tsunade's ear again, and for a moment, the little deer in Tsunade's heart had completely broken its head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Romantic encounter, modest and polite personality, handsome and upright appearance, extraordinary status...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a woman, Ryosuke's appearance satisfies all their fantasies about Prince Charming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even for the princess of the Senju, Tsunade, who has seen all kinds of scenes, such a Ryosuke Mizunuki is enough to make her heart move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You know, the current Tsunade is far from as mature as she will be in the future, and she is still a blank slate in terms of feelings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In ancient times, whenever a \"hero saves a beauty,\" the final result would be: \"The little woman has nothing to offer, so I can only offer myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Loser saves a beauty,\" the final result would be: \"The little woman has nothing to offer, so I can only be a cow or a horse in the next life to repay the benefactor!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And no matter how you look at it, Ryosuke Mizunuki is extremely consistent with the characteristics of a \"hero\" and Prince Charming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Tsunade, I think highly of your little boyfriend.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, the mushrooms you picked are poisonous.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Slug Sage's teasing voice sounded in Tsunade's ear again, and Tsunade suddenly woke up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the colorful mushrooms in her hand and the basket, which were so brightly colored they could be used as fuel in a dye house, a flash of shame and anger flashed in Tsunade's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Slug!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He, he is not my boyfriend!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade scolded, and then viciously threw the basket on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Tsunade had a tendency to \"turn shame into anger,\" the Slug Sage quickly said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh ho.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hi hi, I know!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then I won't disturb you and your boyfriend, little Tsunade!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bye bye!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Slug Sage said playfully, and then her voice disappeared from the spot again; this time, no matter how Tsunade called, the Slug Sage did not respond again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looks like she really left.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>\"Hoo.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade sighed helplessly, and the emotions in her eyes were a bit complex for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was happy one moment and worried the next, vividly performing the style of a young girl whose heart was budding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Could it be that I really like him...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade muttered to herself in her heart, her green eyes full of confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour later, Tsunade returned to the tree fortress, carrying a basket full of mushrooms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Ryosuke was somewhat surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought Tsunade was just making an excuse to go out to talk to the Slug Sage and take the opportunity to escape the shyness in her heart; he didn't expect Tsunade to really be a \"little girl picking mushrooms\" for once.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the fresh mushrooms in the basket, Ryosuke knew that this should be dinner for today.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're back, Princess Tsunade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment, Ryosuke said to Tsunade with a light smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please, please just call me Tsunade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Ryosuke Mizunuki's address, Tsunade was somewhat at a loss; the always capable Tsunade could not help but be a little coy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Ryosuke's way of calling her was also no problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade is the granddaughter of Hashirama Senju, the direct bloodline of the God of Shinobi; given the status of the Senju clan in the ninja world, there is no problem with Ryosuke calling her the princess of the Senju clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And in Neon culture, members of the royal family and even princesses have no surnames, only names.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So when others address princesses and even the Emperor, they call them by their names directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryosuke honoring Tsunade as \"Princess\" and then calling Tsunade by her name directly is not a transgression or recklessness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Tsunade's answer completely explained her favor for Ryosuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Princess Tsunade\" and calling her \"Tsunade\" directly are two completely different concepts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then as an exchange, please just call me Ryosuke from now on...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryosuke Mizunuki smiled, accepted Tsunade's proposal, and a flash of depth flashed in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ryo, Ryosuke...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade subconsciously whispered Ryosuke Mizunuki's name; although her cheeks were still calm, her flushed neck and earlobes were telling her state.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm, what's wrong, Tsunade?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But who knew, Ryosuke Mizunuki, relying on his keen hearing, directly asked Tsunade back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, nothing!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade waved her hands quickly, and her cute appearance made a flash of smile appear in Ryosuke's eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, Ryosuke.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, Tsunade expressed her gratitude to Ryosuke Mizunuki; Ryosuke knew that Tsunade's gratitude was for saving her life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After figuring everything out, Tsunade still offered her late gratitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It's nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn't I say it? I couldn't sit idly by and watch you fall into a trap.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryosuke Mizunuki shook his head again, his tone serious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing Ryosuke Mizunuki's words, the guilt that Tsunade had been suppressing in her heart finally erupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm sorry, Ryosuke!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade suddenly bent her waist toward Ryosuke and bowed respectfully to him; because of some reasons, her plump figure was also fully exposed to Ryosuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why apologize?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryosuke Mizunuki did not dwell on the scenery in front of him, but asked softly, while gently grabbing Tsunade's shoulders and slowly helping her up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade was hesitant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This apology came not only from the previous distrustful questioning but also from Tsunade using the Slug Sage's \"lie detector function.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All of this was a manifestation of distrust toward Ryosuke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, Ryosuke Mizunuki seemed to have no defenses against her from the beginning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But at this moment, how should Tsunade say it? Say she tested everything Ryosuke said? Or say she had been suspicious of Ryosuke from the beginning?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Ryosuke Mizunuki's attitude and kindness, all this seemed a bit too despicable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding this, Ryosuke Mizunuki just smiled indifferently and stopped asking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then, this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's get to know each other again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I am the Fourth Water Shadow of the Hidden Mist, Ryosuke Mizunuki.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nice to meet you, Tsunade.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ryosuke Mizunuki reached out his right hand toward Tsunade nonchalantly, his eyes staring at Tsunade's green eyes without any retreat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsunade Senju of Konoha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nice to meet you, Ryosuke.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Tsunade held Ryosuke Mizunuki's hand without hesitation, as if she had finally unloaded the burden in her heart, and showed a unique smile.\u003C\u002Fp>",1347,"2026-06-17T05:01:41.164Z","2026-06-17T05:05:37.377Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","41a92fa5cfca8bcc9d93780b1898472371ab87b755d757688cac09037018fef8","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-185","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-183",533,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-cover.jpg"]
