At the same time, the look in his eyes as he watched Tsunade carried a very obvious heat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was clear he was obsessed with this woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jonin Kato, hello.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To this, Tsunade just nodded coldly, responding to Kato Dan in an extremely official tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing Tsunade’s coldness, Kato Dan frowned, his face looking somewhat ugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the gloom on his face lasted only for an instant before he returned to that gentle and proactive appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tsunade-sama, there is no need to be so polite; you can just call me 'Dan'.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kato Dan seemed not to notice Tsunade’s disgust at all, continuing to push his luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are we that close?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jonin Kato.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Tsunade had only been a little impatient before, Kato Dan’s pushy request now completely ignited the disgust in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Calling each other by their first names was something only those with close relationships could do; Kato Dan’s recklessness naturally made Tsunade very annoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Tsunade’s direct refusal left Kato Dan with no face, and his complexion turned livid instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, the reason Kato Dan made such a request to Tsunade was that he \"falsely believed\" his relationship with her was not bad and wanted to take the opportunity to go further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the fact that Kato Dan would have such a thought, while at first glance seeming like a \"toad wanting to eat swan meat,\" was actually understandable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Previously, Kato Dan had supported Tsunade’s medical ninja proposal at the Jonin meeting, using it to get closer to her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, he had gone to the Land of Iron with her, and now they were on the same battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So Kato Dan naturally felt that, relying on their long-term \"close-range\" contact, he could try to make some slightly excessive requests.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But reality slapped him in the face ruthlessly and quickly; Tsunade’s coldness caused Kato Dan’s mentality to lose balance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this instant, Kato Dan remembered what the head of the Kato clan had once said to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dan, take down Princess Tsunade, and the future of the Kato clan depends on you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kato Dan was well aware of the thoughts of the Leaf higher-ups, the Senju clan higher-ups, and the Kato clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No matter how one looked at it, Tsunade being with him was the best and inevitable result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn't understand why Tsunade was so repulsed by it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with the war starting tomorrow, he didn't know when he would have another conversation with Tsunade, and Kato Dan clearly didn't want to let this opportunity go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, he gritted his teeth and continued to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is Tsunade-sama going? Do you need me to accompany you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Hokage-sama and the lords of the Senju clan entrusted me before we came to make sure to look after your safety.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please allow me to follow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as these words were spoken, Tsunade’s beautiful eyebrows locked together tightly, and a hint of obvious thin anger appeared on her delicate face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade was not stupid; the reason Kato Dan deliberately mentioned the Hokage and the Senju was to coerce her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, how could Tsunade not know the intentions of the Hokage and the Senju clan higher-ups?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Kato Dan’s words had an effect, unfortunately, it was a \"reverse effect.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could the strong-willed and fierce Tsunade accept this kind of threat?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jonin Kato, do you mean to say that I need to report to you for whatever I do?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tsunade narrowed her eyes and questioned, the expression on her face already like the dead of winter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Kato Dan’s heart skipped a beat, knowing his actions were a bit too much and had already angered Tsunade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I wouldn't dare.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately, Kato Dan responded in a low voice, trying to salvage the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To this, Tsunade clearly didn't buy it at all; after a cold snort, she walked past Kato Dan and left, without paying any attention to his existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Tsunade left, Kato Dan clenched his hands into fists where he stood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned around, looked at Tsunade’s graceful back, and said to himself in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just wait! You will definitely be mine!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kato Dan roared inwardly, while his exterior remained that of a gentle, warm man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only, unknowingly, his fingernails had already pierced into his flesh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Tsunade left the Leaf camp, she ran without stopping toward a small mountain far from the Land of Fire camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, Tsunade didn't stop, her demeanor like a little girl running home at full speed after school.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She crossed the woods, arrived at the foot of the mountain, and kept heading toward the summit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, she arrived at the cliff located at the peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, a figure she had been thinking about day and night had already been waiting for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke turned around and gave a warm smile to Tsunade behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, the ice and snow melted, and a heartfelt laugh appeared on Tsunade’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At once, like a swallow returning to its nest, Tsunade’s plump, delicate body threw itself into Mizunuki Ryosuke’s arms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although they hadn't seen each other for only a few days, the longing in Tsunade’s heart had already turned into a raging flame.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At once, Tsunade took the initiative to kiss Mizunuki Ryosuke’s lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a long time, their lips parted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ryosuke, I missed you so much.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The look in Tsunade’s eyes as she gazed at Mizunuki Ryosuke seemed to contain shining stars; her voice was so gentle it felt like it could drip water. At this moment, what cold, aloof style or commander's demeanor did she have? She was completely just a woman who had fallen in love.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Little Tsunade, I missed you too.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mizunuki Ryosuke teased her by touching her delicate nose, then responded to Tsunade’s longing, holding her delicate body tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As thick as glue and as sweet as honey—nothing could describe it better.\u003C\u002Fp>",1388,"2026-06-17T05:01:42.922Z","2026-06-17T05:05:39.462Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","1612c83f1a870412a108e71295e44f02ad3c8c836adba6b5d2e692b555323847","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-410","this-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-chapter-408",533,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-mizukage-is-strong-but-excessively-cautious-cover.jpg"]
