"What do you know, Mizukage-sama is young and promising, will his vision and taste be worse than yours? Although Tsunade is a little old, she is well-maintained, has a mature and beautiful charm of her own, otherwise, how could she be caught by Kisame-sama?"
"…"
These people were discussing with gusto, when suddenly they felt a chill coming from behind them, which made them tremble and get goosebumps all over.
They turned their heads and saw that Tsunade was looking at them killing intent, as she rolled up her sleeves and was about to come over, apparently intending to use her fists to shut them up.
"Run!!! Tsunade's punches are not a joke."
They were so frightened that they immediately dispersed.
"Tsunade-sama, don't act impulsively." On the other hand, Shizune exerted her strength to desperately hold Tsunade.
This is not Konoha, Tsunade can't help but lose her temper and get away with it.
"Humph."
Tsunade snorted coldly as she suppressed her anger, and walked to the centre with a dark face.
Terumi Mei is in charge of reception. When she saw Tsunade, she quickly walked up to meet her.
"Tsunade-sama, please come with me, Mizukage-sama and everyone have been waiting for you for a long time."
She bowed to Tsunade and made a please gesture.
Like other villagers, Terumi Mei is also full of respect for Tsunade, a famous "medical saint" in the ninja world. Moreover, she had also heard the rumors between Tsunade and Kisame, and couldn't help but be very curious about the true relationship between the two.
A group of three entered the hall.
Tsunade saw Kisame at the main seat with a glance, sitting on a large luxurious chair, gorging on the roasted snake meat.
An image befitting of a bandit leader instead of a respected Kage.
"Slurp."
kisame picked up the juice on the side and drank it all in one go. After burping, he saw Tsunade standing at the door.
He immediately smiled at Tsunade, stood up, clapped his hands, and motioned everyone in the hall to be quiet.
"This beautiful woman is Tsunade Hime, and she's here to help us train medical ninjas. In the next few years, everyone should treat her as one of our own, and respect her like me. Do you understand?"
Kisame raised his voice and instructed the crowd.
"Yes, Mizukage-sama!" Everyone in the hall agreed with a cheer.
"Let's welcome Tsunade-sama with applause for her join the big family of Kirigakure." Elder Genji suggested, and he took the lead in applauding as soon as he finished speaking.
'Clap clap clap.'
The others also applauded, giving Tsunade a warm welcome.
As the saying goes, kindness is hard to come by.
Tsunade couldn't even show her real emotions in the face of the crowd who warmly welcomed her, so she could only force a smile. Afterwards, Terumi Mei took her to the guest seat on Kisame's right.
"I don't eat snake meat."
Tsunade said as soon as she sat down, indicating that there was no need to serve her. She was just here to walk through the scene, and she didn't want to stay here for a moment.
But Terumi Mei said very thoughtfully: "Mizukage-sama has long considered your eating habits, and specially prepared the best shochu and tender chicken for you."
After that, a ninja brought fragrant tender chicken and shochu.
"Wow, these are Tsunade-sama's favorite things to eat."
Shizune who was on the side said as she glanced at Kisame in surprise. She didn't expect the latter to remember Tsunade's preferences so clearly.
As soon as she finished speaking, Tsunade glared at her.
"Nonsense, it's just normal food."
Tsunade said lightly, pretending to have no appetite, but her stomach betrayed her, making a gurgling sound.
"Giggle." Terumi Mei snickered while covering her mouth and backed away.
Tsunade blushed. In fact, they can't blame her. After all, she was locked in the Box of Ultimate Bliss for many days. At this time, she was like an animal awakening from hibernation, full of hunger for food.
"Tsunade, these food aren't to your taste? Then I'll let someone take it away." Kisame looked at Tsunade with a half-smile, and said deliberately.
"No."
Tsunade blurted out. Under the control of her strong appetite, she didn't even bother to pretend, she just picked up the tender chicken with her hands and ate it.
She then devoured the tender chicken in a few gulps, then picked up the entire wine bottle and drank heavily.
Such a "bold" eating style made everyone in the hall look at her in suprise.
"Everyone, don't stand still, let's enjoy a sumptuous dinner together, eat enough, drink enough, and play enough tonight!"
Kisame raised the tea in his hand and drank it first as a respect.
When everyone heard him, they also raised their glasses and drank it. The atmosphere at the banquet became more and more lively, with laughter and smiles.
Tsunade drank a few bottles of wine in one go, and her face turned red and slightly drunk.
She was originally a forthright character, and with the effect of alcohol, she gradually let go of her inhibition, and quickly got to know everyone.
After an hour.
'Guwu'
"What a bunch of useless guys."
Tsunade held the wine bottle and looked at the group of Kirigakure ninjas around her who were down, and couldn't help laughing.
"Tsunade-sama, it's not good for your health if you drink like this." Shizune advised helplessly, but it was obviously useless.
At this time, Tsunade, who was already drinking too much, stared at Kisame sitting next to her, and wanted to compete with him in terms of drinking.
"I'm a minor and can't drink." Kisame said firmly.
"You are boring." Tsunade was disappointed, put down the bottle, and burped.
The banquet is drawing to a close.
"All of you had a good time today, let's all go home and rest."
Kisame said seeing that it was late. Everyone got up from their seats, saluted him, and exited the banquet hall.
Seeing this, Shizune also supported the drunk Tsunade, preparing to go back to the room to rest.
Suddenly, a big hand reached out and blocked Shizune.
"Shizune, you go back first, I have something to talk to Tsunade alone." Kisame stared at Shizune, with a faint smile on his face, and said to the latter in a tone that could not be opposed.
As soon as he finished speaking, Pakura, who was wearing a mask, stepped forward and brought Shizune to the door.
"I will wait here for Tsunade-sama." Outside the door, Shizune refused to leave, worried that Kisame would do bad things to Tsunade.
Pakura didn't respond, but she didn't rush Shizune away. She just stood at the door like a statue that couldn't speak, forbidding anyone to enter.
After everyone left, the only two left in the banquet hall were Kisame and drunk Tsunade.
"Stop pretending, I know you're not drunk." Kisame suddenly said.
When Tsunade heard him, she instantly lost her intoxication and her eyes became sharp.
"Did you let people spread those rumors?" She questioned Kisame as she stared at him.
"What rumors?" Kisame was stunned for a moment, puzzled by her question.
"Don't pretend, I don't believe that you didn't hear a word of it." Tsunade sneered.
"Oh, are you talking about those rumors between me and you?"
Kisame shrugged and said, "That's someone else's misunderstanding. Aunt Tsunade, I think it's better for you not to think too much."
The word aunt made Tsunade's face stiff.
Kisame smiled and continued to say to her:
"By the way, I'll tell you the good news, your old lover has also become the fourth Hokage. Don't worry, when you finish your mission in Kirigakure, you can go back to Konoha and be with Hokage happily."
Tsunade was stunned when she heard the news that Jiraiya had become Hokage, but she quickly responded with a frown and a cold voice:
"How could I possibly like a pervert like Jiraiya, he's not much better than you."
"Tsk tsk, so picky, you don't even like Mizukage or Hokage, no wonder you became a spinster. By the way, how does snake meat taste with soju? It's not bad, right?"
Kisame mocked Tsunade, and asked her teasingly.
Tsunade didn't eat snake meat at first, but after taking a bite, she ate more than anyone else, she alone ate more than ten kilograms by herself.
"Not so much." Tsunade stubbornly said, not wanting to fight with Kisame here again, and turned around and left.
"Really? I heard that slug meat is also delicious. If we have another dinner party tomorrow, please eat roasted slug meat."
Kisame suddenly said to her.
When she heard him, she turned back with a gloomy face, and warned Kisame word by word: "You better not mess around. Katsuyu is much more terrifying than a toad and a snake when it gets angry."
"There is no other way, who made you unwilling to introduce me to the slug sage and let me learn senjutsu?"
Kisame said helplessly, and finally got to the point.
It's still about Senjutsu.
Seeing that Kisame was so persistent, Tsunade knew that she had to give a clear answer today, and she couldn't make excuses to drag it on.
She suddenly sighed and asked Kisame with a serious face:
"Do you know that training senjutsu is not an easy task, and there are huge risks that are life-threatening?"
"I heard that if you fail to train senjutsu properly, you will turn into a stone statue in Mount Myoboku, and you will be eaten by snake sage in Ryuchi cave. But I don't know what is the side effect for failure in Shikkotsu forest."
Kisame said truthfully.
"Looks like you've done a lot of homework."
Tsunade was surprise, and then she warned him earnestly, "The Shikkotsu Forest's senjutsu is the most difficult of the three holy Lands, and if you fails, you will definitely die. I don't dare to try it either. Over the years, only my grandfather Senju Hashirama has learned senjutsu there."
She wanted to use these words to make him retreat, but she didn't expect his eyes to light up after hearing it, and his interest became even greater.
"Oh? Then I really can't wait, I have to go to the Shikkotsu Forest."
He said cheerfully, full of confidence.
"Kisame, you can't be thinking that your talent and personality can be compared with my grandfather?"
Tsunade folded her arms around her chest, sneered, and tried to pour cold water on the Kisame's thoughts.
Hearing these words, Kisame suddenly laughed out loud, and the sound resounded throughout the banquet hall.
"What are you laughing at?" Tsunade frowned.
Kisame stopped laughing, took out a plant with Hashirama cells, and threw it to her.
"What does this mean? I said, I won't agree to your deal." Tsunade said as she put the plant on the table next to her.
"I'm not trying to make a deal with you. I just feel that after listening to your words, it's a pity that Senju Hashirama's Mokuton is lost. And you are his only granddaughter, so I hope you can use this plant to inherit your grandfather's Kekkei Genkai and let me see the power of Senju Hashirama again one day."
Kisame looked down at Tsunade and said slowly.
Tsunade was very surprised by what he said.
"Really? I don't believe you are so generous."
She still frowned, feeling that Kisame is planning something, how could it be possible to give her the Hashirama cells.
Tsunade didn't believe that Kisame's heart was so big.
"Alas, that's because you don't understand how lonely it is to be invincible."
Kisame saw through Tsunade's mind, sighed, and suddenly approached her.
At this moment, his eyes were full of aggression, and he grabbed Tsunade's wrists suddenly, using the weight of his huge body to press her on the dining table.
"Bastard, let me go!"
Tsunade roared and struggled hard, but she was completely suppressed by Kisame in the strength she was most proud of.
"Tsunade-sama!"
When Shizune heard Tsunade's shout from the door, she was shocked thinking that Kisame was going to do something wrong to Tsunade. She wanted to rush in, but was stopped by Pakura's Kunai.
