Chapter 361

Leaning on Ryosuke's shoulder, Tsunade quietly felt Mizunuki Ryosuke's presence.

At this moment, she didn't want to care about Konoha or the Senju clan anymore.

She was just Tsunade, who belonged to Mizunuki Ryosuke alone.

To outsiders, it seemed that the process of the two meeting and falling in love was a bit hasty.

But who knew Tsunade's true heart?

From childhood to adulthood, Tsunade had always carried the title of "Senju Princess"; in order not to tarnish the Senju name, Tsunade worked day and night, finally standing at the very top of her peers.

At this time, when she looked around, there were very few among her peers who could compare to her; the closest to her were only perverts like Orochimaru.

At such a time, didn't Tsunade want to have a vigorous romance like a normal girl?

You have to know that besides being a powerful female ninja, she was also just an ordinary young girl.

Of course she wanted to.

But after all, she was the heir to the Senju clan, shouldering too many things, and there were too many things that were not up to her.

Ryosuke's appearance could be considered as Tsunade seeing a glimmer of light in a dull world.

He almost satisfied all of Tsunade's fantasies about love deep in her heart.

Wasn't Mizunuki Ryosuke the opportunity given by heaven for Tsunade to realize her dreams?

In this world where war was frequent, no one could be certain that their tomorrow would continue to be brilliant.

After all, even the commander of a Great Nation's military organization—the Kage of the Five Great Ninja Villages—could potentially die on the battlefield at any time.

Let alone a ninja like Tsunade who hadn't yet climbed to the peak.

Life is short; why must she exclude the opportunity given by heaven? Who could say anything about tomorrow?

Even if she shouldered many responsibilities, Tsunade didn't want to regret it later.

After realizing that she might have fallen in love with Mizunuki Ryosuke, Tsunade decided to follow her heart; no matter what tomorrow brought, at least at this moment, she possessed the love she wanted.

This was Tsunade; perhaps she would temporarily submit to fate, but she would never give up hope.

Just as the two were immersed in each other's world, a sudden noise disturbed the atmosphere between them.

"Oh my!!!!"

"So shy, so shy!"

"Young people today are really open; they don't mind the thoughts of someone like me who has been single for thousands of years at all."

Suddenly, a soft female voice with a hint of teasing rang out; under this starry sky, this voice sounded incomparably loud.

The voice also startled Mizunuki Ryosuke and Tsunade; the two subconsciously stood up and looked around, and Tsunade's face turned red again, no longer having the bravery she had when confessing to Ryosuke just now.

Just hearing this familiar tone, the two already knew who had come.

In an instant, an incomparably huge body broke through the clouds and appeared in front of the two.

Mizunuki Ryosuke's eyes were full of shock, because Ryosuke couldn't express in words just how huge this existence was!

The blue and white fat body, and a pair of thick tentacles comparable to "Optimus Prime," all indicated the identity of the visitor—Katsuyu.

And it was the true body of Katsuyu!

"No wonder."

Ryosuke suddenly realized, murmuring to himself in his heart.

No wonder that since coming to Shikkotsu Forest, Ryosuke had never seen the legendary true body of Katsuyu; it turned out that her huge body had been hiding in the sky all along!

Katsuyu's huge body floated freely in the starry sky as if it were not constrained by gravity.

Her appearance broke the atmosphere that had originally existed between Tsunade and Mizunuki Ryosuke.

"Lady Katsuyu!!!"

Tsunade immediately became angry, her emerald eyes full of shyness.

She knew that with Katsuyu's abilities, everything the two had said just now had probably been heard by the other party.

"Haha!!"

"Little Tsunade is shy!"

"I said it, sooner or later this young man would be your little boyfriend."

Katsuyu continued to tease, completely disregarding Tsunade's already blushing face.

"Lady Katsuyu, you came suddenly; there must be something the matter, right?"

At this moment, it was Mizunuki Ryosuke who relieved Tsunade.

In his view, the suddenly appearing Katsuyu was unlikely to have come specifically to tease Tsunade; there should be other important matters.

"That's right."

"Didn't expect Tsunade's little boyfriend to understand me so well."

"Konoha just sent news to Shikkotsu Forest, asking about Tsunade's whereabouts and urging Tsunade to return to Konoha."

"It looks like there is an important matter to find Tsunade for."

Katsuyu didn't hide it either, directly stating the matter in front of Mizunuki Ryosuke.

Upon hearing this, Tsunade's originally shy and angry face gradually calmed down, and a hint of reluctance still lingered in her eyes.

Because she knew this was the signal that she was about to separate from Mizunuki Ryosuke.

Upon hearing the sound, Ryosuke's eyes also flickered slightly.

At this time, what could be the urgent matter for Konoha to summon Tsunade? Almost without much thought, Ryosuke locked everything onto the matter of the Rain Ninja.

After all, Ryosuke knew in his heart that in the upcoming war between the Rain Ninja and Konoha, Tsunade was one of Konoha's commanders.

Konoha urgently summoning Tsunade back was probably also to deal with the Rain Ninja's declaration of war.

"It seems Hanzo of the Salamander has chosen to take action directly."

Mizunuki Ryosuke said secretly in his heart.

During these few days in Shikkotsu Forest, Ryosuke had been almost in a state of being isolated from outside information, but this did not hinder Ryosuke's judgment of the situation.

Not only Tsunade, but his own plan also needed to be unfolded at the right time.

It looked like his brief time alone with Tsunade was coming to an end here.

As for practicing Sage Mode, now was not the time.

It would be necessary to wait until Ryosuke had finished dealing with the matters of the Ninja World before coming to Shikkotsu Forest to practice Sage Mode.

After all, at this time, the two still had their own responsibilities to face.

"I understand, Lady Katsuyu."

Tsunade nodded at Katsuyu, then turned to face Mizunuki Ryosuke.

"Sorry, Ryosuke—"

A hint of apology flashed in Tsunade's eyes; at this moment, she felt a bit guilty.

Clearly, she had just stated her feelings on her own, and now she had to leave first because of other matters.

"It's fine."

"We have plenty of time in the future."

To this, Mizunuki Ryosuke didn't mind, just comforting Tsunade with a gentle expression.

A hint of softness flashed in Tsunade's eyes.
