Chapter 190

Thinking of this, Ryosuke couldn't help but shiver.

It was too terrifying!

He swore that Hanzo of the Salamander's deadly poison might be much better than the food Tsunade made.

Thinking of that colorful food emitting black smoke, Ryosuke felt his stomach still churning a bit.

Since then, the heavy responsibility of cooking had been taken over by Ryosuke.

Although Ryosuke's culinary skills couldn't be called exquisite, they were at an above-average level, which was simply much better than Tsunade's.

Come to think of it, as the princess of the Senju clan, Tsunade must have been the type of girl who "never touched the kitchen," so it was perfectly normal that she had no culinary skills.

Looking at Mizunuki Ryosuke, who was immersed in cooking, Tsunade's eyes gradually became a bit dazed.

Every move of Mizunuki Ryosuke was so special and eye-catching in Tsunade's eyes.

For several days, although the two were almost always together, whenever they were separated, Tsunade couldn't help but think of all sorts of things about Mizunuki Ryosuke.

Every move of his could stir Tsunade's originally calm heart at any time.

Tsunade didn't know what was wrong with her.

Perhaps falling in love with someone was much simpler than she had imagined.

A myriad of thoughts suddenly surged in Tsunade's heart, especially the poignant love story Ryosuke had told her, which made Tsunade feel a bit suffocated.

Just when Tsunade was lost in thought, a gentle voice suddenly sounded in her ear.

"Let's eat."

"Try the latest mushroom dish I innovated today."

Mizunuki Ryosuke's confident voice sounded in Tsunade's ear.

She looked over and saw Ryosuke walking slowly toward the dining table with two plates of exquisitely garnished food, his movements appearing extremely elegant.

"Mm."

Smelling the fragrance in the air, Tsunade also hurriedly got up and came to the wooden dining table.

It must be said that, regardless of the taste, the presentation of this food was at least at the level of a five-star chef, making one's appetite open up at a glance.

Ignoring the chaotic emotions in her heart, Tsunade hurriedly picked up the wooden tableware to taste the food on the plate.

"Wow, delicious!"

Just a light taste, and a bright light erupted in Tsunade's beautiful eyes.

To this, Ryosuke just smiled slightly and then gently placed the food he hadn't touched on his own plate into Tsunade's plate.

"It's okay, eat slowly."

The gentle voice sounded again, which was the unique tenderness belonging to Mizunuki Ryosuke.

Looking at the serious Mizunuki Ryosuke, Tsunade's heart beat violently twice more.

Tsunade's plump, delicate body trembled slightly, but she didn't say anything, just quietly eating the food on her plate, her emerald eyes filled with a hint of tender affection.

At this moment, Tsunade suddenly felt that the current life was so similar to that of a married couple.

Thinking of marriage, Tsunade's heart felt a bit complicated again.

Dinner time passed quickly, and time gradually reached the night.

The interior of the tree fortress was extremely spacious, with enough space for the two to rest, so no "delightful" scenes had occurred in the past few days.

But tonight, Tsunade was destined to have some insomnia.

The complex emotions toward Ryosuke in her heart, as well as the sense of responsibility toward the Senju clan and the Leaf, were simultaneously pressing on her, making her feel a bit breathless.

The story Ryosuke had told during the day appeared in Tsunade's mind more than once.

The tragedy of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl made Tsunade toss and turn, unable to sleep; as soon as she closed her eyes, it was as if she had transformed into that poor daughter of the Heavenly Emperor, who could only face the surging Heavenly River and wash her face with tears every day.

Tsunade drifted into a dream in this hazy state; in the dream, she actually became that Weaver Girl! And her Cowherd was Mizunuki Ryosuke with the gentle smile.

The two met, knew each other, and finally fell in love.

Under the worry in Tsunade's heart, that day finally came, and she was forced to separate from Ryosuke.

"No!!!"

Finally, when she and Ryosuke in the dream were forcibly torn apart, she woke up from the dream with a start.

Tsunade slowly covered her forehead and calmed down for a moment.

She simply got up from the bed and scanned the tree fortress, only to find that Ryosuke's figure was already gone.

Tsunade felt a bit uneasy, then picked up a coat beside her, draped it over her body to cover her plump, delicate figure, and then pushed open the door and left the tree fortress.

Between the branches of a giant tree, the thin young man was leaning against the branches, staring at the distant sky.

The hazy moonlight spilled down from the branches and leaves of the towering trees in Shikkotsu Forest, reflecting on Mizunuki Ryosuke's thin body, stretching his shadow very, very long.

Tsunade, who walked out of the tree fortress, looked up at Mizunuki Ryosuke on the branch, and a flash of relief suddenly crossed her eyes.

"Whoosh!"

Tsunade jumped lightly and flew to Mizunuki Ryosuke's side.

"Why aren't you sleeping?"

Ryosuke didn't look back, just asked Tsunade beside him softly.

Tsunade didn't answer, slowly sitting down beside Ryosuke, her two long, fair, beautiful legs dangling from the tree trunk.

The soft moonlight refracted on this pair of long, beautiful legs, reflecting a luster like porcelain.

Seeing Tsunade didn't answer, Ryosuke turned his face and cast his gaze toward Tsunade's cheeks, and a perfect, flawless side profile entered his eyes.

It must be said that, in terms of looks alone, probably no one in the entire Naruto series could surpass Tsunade.

Not only that, Tsunade's figure was also enough to crush the female characters in Naruto, and coupled with the characteristic of not aging, it could only be said that Tsunade simply won by too much compared to others.

Tsunade turned her head and looked at Ryosuke without avoiding it.

At such a close distance, the two could clearly capture every emotion in each other's eyes.

Mizunuki Ryosuke could clearly feel the change in Tsunade's attitude and emotions, and looking at the emotions in Tsunade's eyes, he seemed to understand something.

After a long time, Tsunade seemed to have made up her mind.

"Hoo."

She took a deep breath suddenly and grabbed Mizunuki Ryosuke's hand, standing up.

"Follow me."

After leaving these three words with her lips parted, Tsunade turned and led Ryosuke to jump continuously toward the upper layers of the trees.

Ryosuke didn't refuse, just let Tsunade hold his hand without saying a word, following Tsunade all the way up the towering trees.

Before long, the two gradually caught a glimpse of the top of the giant tree.

Countless stretching tree crowns covered the entire sky, even extending into the clouds, forming a plane made entirely of leaves above Shikkotsu Forest.

The two continued upward until they broke through the tree crowns and reached the very top of the giant tree.

At this moment, the clouds in the sky were already right before their eyes; they could touch these snowy clouds at will, and as a night breeze blew the clouds in front of Ryosuke, he could no longer distinguish whether he was stepping on the tree crowns or the clouds.

When he looked up, the galaxy in the sky seemed to be right before his eyes; it seemed that as long as he reached out his hand, he could break through the boundaries of the sky and reach the vast universe that no one could reach.

Even Ryosuke couldn't help but be immersed in such beautiful scenery for a moment.

And beside Ryosuke, Tsunade looked at such a scene, her emerald eyes also filled with a bit of indulgence; although it wasn't her first time coming here, no matter how many times she saw such a scene, it was always so shocking.

Ryosuke leaned down and sat cross-legged on the tree crown, the gentle night breeze blowing the bangs on his forehead, revealing his pair of deep, vast star-like eyes.

Tsunade didn't let go of Ryosuke's hand, just brought her pair of beautiful legs together and sat gently beside Ryosuke.

"Ryosuke..."

She murmured the name of the person beside her slowly.

"Mm."

Ryosuke also gave a soft "mm," responding to the beauty's call.

"I think..."

"I think I've fallen in love with you."

Looking at the boundless galaxy in the night sky, Tsunade shed all her shyness and poured out all the words she had been brewing in her heart for a long time.

Upon hearing this, Mizunuki Ryosuke's body trembled imperceptibly; he looked at Tsunade beside him in disbelief, only to find that Tsunade at this moment wasn't looking at him, but looking into the distance with a gentle gaze.

Under the starlight, Tsunade's perfect side profile seemed to be shining with brilliant divine light, making Ryosuke's heart beat violently twice.

This time, Tsunade's direct strike broke through Ryosuke's defenses, and instead, it was Ryosuke who became a bit at a loss at this moment.

It was true that Ryosuke had many calculations in his heart, but in the face of a woman like Tsunade, who wouldn't be moved?

Powerful, dignified, charming, noble...

He also didn't expect that at such a moment, in such an environment, Tsunade would actually choose to express her affection for him directly.
