"Okay, I understand. Lead the way."

Huang said casually.

After escaping like a rat, does it want to come back?

is it possible?

"Yes, my lord."

Fushima didn't say much, and didn't even dare to ask the name of the servant. He simply answered respectfully and then stood up and walked towards the East District.

As for why Ara chose to personally eliminate these entrenched local bullies one by one, it wasn't because he didn't recognize his subordinates' strength and execution ability, but because he wanted to take all the crimes and infamy he had committed on his own shoulders.

Ultimately, although the crimes committed by these villains deserve to be punished by everyone, they are still classified as ordinary people and should be dealt with by official forces such as the Daming Prefecture.

The bloody intervention of ninjas will inevitably cause some unnecessary panic, and there are also unwritten rules in the ninja world that prohibit taking action against ordinary people.

Therefore, let myself, who is classified as an evil being, break down and bear all of this.

'jingle.'

Just after the two left the alleyway reeking of blood, a pure black cat with half a dried fish in its mouth quietly poked its head out.

Moreover, if it weren't for those pair of yellow-green pupils that quietly bloomed in the darkness, it would be very difficult for ordinary people to discover this little guy hidden in the dark.

After quickly devouring the remaining 'reward', it used a lever to leap onto the nearby wall and then disappeared into the darkness.

In the dim light of the day, one could see that Yu Zhi had a silent little golden bell tied around his neck.

.........

"Are you feeling better, Lady Tsunade?"

Looking at the woman in front of her who had stopped trembling violently, Shizune suppressed her worry and asked softly.

After parting ways with the domineering Uchiha clansman, she immediately took her master to a secluded and quiet hot spring hotel to stay in. She even unusually bought him some drinks to soothe the fear lurking in his heart.

"Ugh."

The plump woman being questioned raised her eyes somewhat numbly, gave a perfunctory hum in response, and then picked up the wine glass that was placed to the side again.

But it was clear that she wasn't as relaxed as she had seemed in her response.

The wine cup in her hand felt incredibly heavy, causing her entire arm to tremble uncontrollably. However, Tsunade seemed oblivious to this, and with a quick flick of her wrist, she brought the cup to her lips and drank it all in one gulp.

'Glug, glug.'

The clear liquor flowed slowly down her throat and down the corners of her mouth.

'Ahem.'

But the hasty journey, coupled with the spiciness of the alcohol, caused him to cough violently and uncontrollably.

"Are you alright, Lady Tsunade?"

Seeing this, Shizune could no longer suppress the worry in her eyes, and immediately got up and moved behind the woman to gently pat her back to make her feel better.

"It's okay, cough, it's okay now, mute."

With the servant's gentle stroking, Tsunade gradually stopped coughing violently.

And it seemed that the alcohol had some effect after flowing into his lungs, the spiciness began to drive away the fear and lingering apprehension in his heart, and even his numb pupils regained some of their usual liveliness.

"Was that the little guy from earlier?"

Once her thoughts were clear and she could look directly at the bloody memories, she took the initiative to start a conversation, raising her hand and reaching towards the wine jug not far away.

Upon hearing this, Shizune slowed her movements slightly, and the image of the boy, along with his blood-red eyes that represented the legendary 'evil' and 'power,' appeared in her mind.

"Yes, if the deduction is correct, that powerful young man is him, the current head of the Uchiha clan, Uchiha Ara."

She responded with a serious expression, sporting her usual short hair.

"Why would he appear alone in the Land of Hot Springs? Although, based on the information we have, he should have just finished a mission."

"But what kind of mission would allow such a being to undertake it alone?"

"A decapitation? Hunting down rogue ninja? Or is it related to the Akatsuki organization that has been making headlines in recent years?"

Once she started talking, Jingyin seemed unable to stop, and began to speculate on her own.

This was something that had been weighing on his mind, but because his master was not in a good state, he had kept it all inside until now when it all burst out at once.

However, the person beside him did not seem to want to continue the topic.

"Jingyin, why is there no more alcohol? Go get some more!"

"I remember you still have all the money that kid gave you, don't be stingy!"

The plump woman, unwilling to give up, vigorously rummaged through the wine pot in her hand. When she realized she could no longer squeeze out a single drop of wine, she slammed it onto the table.

His alcoholic state clearly indicates that he has returned to his old self.

【! ! 】

Upon hearing this, a look of displeasure immediately appeared on Shizune's face, even though she had just been talking enthusiastically about something.

After all, it's perfectly normal for men to talk about pretty girls when they're together, and for women to talk about handsome young men when they're together.

Especially since that person is also from Konoha, from a family that is rejected by others, and possesses the excellent quality of caring for the young and strong strength!

Aloof,

powerful,

decisive,

Handsome!

When all the labels came together on that person, the excitement in Shizune's eyes became even more pronounced.

This was certainly not love at first sight; rather, it was the gossip fire within me that was burning fiercely once again!

Someone like that, belonging to the Uchiha clan ostracized by Konoha, what kind of story would they create? She really wanted to talk to her family about it!

"Stop dawdling! Get going!"

Seeing the displeased yet hesitant attitude of her disciple beside her, Tsunade instantly unleashed the powerful aura of the Sannin.

"Yes Yes."

"I'll go right now, please wait a moment."

Silently, she responded with a drawn-out tone, her whole demeanor showing displeasure.

"Well, this is really disappointing."

She muttered something as she got up and walked outside.

[However, that's wonderful! My master has truly recovered.]

As the room fell silent, Tsunade's drunken state subtly disappeared, and a sharp glint appeared in her beautiful eyes.

Uchiha Ara, the head of the Uchiha clan.

What exactly does he want to do?

Was it really just a momentary outburst of anger that led to the sweeping of the Land of Soup?

No, that guy probably wouldn't be that extreme.

'Gulp.'

She downed the last half glass of wine in one gulp, and a hint of alluring blush slowly crept onto her cheeks.

Old man, please don't do anything foolish again.

A strange thought quietly welled up from the depths of his heart.

But it quickly dissipated completely.

She no longer wanted to have anything to do with that place that only brought her sadness.

'boom. ’

"Seriously, she's so slow and dawdling. Why is Shizune taking so long to get a drink?"

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

The voluptuous woman tapped the table impatiently; a glimpse of spring was revealed, but no one could appreciate it.

While waiting, his gaze suddenly fell on the corner of the table, where there was a somewhat damaged cardboard box.

She remembered that it was something like...

Tsunade reached out and picked it up, and when she opened it, she was surprised to find several strings of small dumplings with eye-catching colors.

Here, have a piece of candy to calm down.

[That way, I might not have nightmares.]

Who do you think you are, a child?!

'Damn brat!'

Recalling the fragments in her mind, she couldn't help but curse under her breath.

but,

【sweet.】

He still slurped up a small meatball.

[It's definitely a child's taste.]

........

"Lady Tsunade, the sake is here."

A little while later, Jingyin returned with the drinks.

"Oh, you've worked hard. Let's put it on the table and have a drink together."

The woman addressed as "Madam" seemed to have forgotten her earlier complaint, leaning to the side, her delicate fingers gently swirling the empty wine glass.

"Very well, I shall comply, Lady Tsunade."

"However, I remember that the boy left a box of three-colored dumplings before he left. I haven't tasted them since I left Konoha. Please allow me to try a skewer first."
