She has lived to this age, gained a lot, and lost a lot.

But as life draws to a close, nothing else matters.

But look at her granddaughter, Tsunade.

Despite being so young, her heart was already riddled with wounds.

"I?"

Shiranui Sho pointed to herself in surprise.

Mito Uzumaki smiled and nodded.

She had never met the child, but she had heard his name.

From that girl, Kushina, whom she also considered family.

She heard from Kushina that when she was captured by the Cloud Ninja and thought she might never return, a handsome young man named Shiranui Sou and his blond companion descended from the sky and saved her.

In addition, the Nine-Tails' chakra within Mito Uzumaki granted her the ability to distinguish between good and evil.

She could tell that he was a good child.

Of course, the most important point is that she also hopes her granddaughter Tsunade can move on from the shadows of the past.

Today is the first time in a long time that she has seen Tsunade willingly do something other than gambling and drinking.

"Yes, Lady Mito."

Despite still having many doubts, Shikiho followed the direction indicated by Uzumaki Mito and walked away.

Soon, he passed through the quiet courtyard and approached the residential area.

Now only Tsunade and Mito Uzumaki live in this house, making it excessively quiet.

The doors to many of the vacant rooms were open for ventilation, suggesting that someone cleans them periodically.

Only one room was closed, and through the door one could faintly hear breathing and occasionally a few words of chatter.

It's clear that Tsunade is still fast asleep.

"Wasn't this the time you arranged...?"

Outside the door, Shiranui Sho was also somewhat puzzled.

A few days ago, he said he didn't want to learn medical ninjutsu, but wanted to learn superhuman strength.

To his surprise, although Tsunade was unhappy about being rejected, she still agreed to his request.

After agreeing on a time today, the two said goodbye and parted ways, and he visited on time today.

After glancing at the sun that had already risen high in the distance, Shiranui Sou hesitated for a few seconds before gently knocking on the door.

The breathing in the room paused for a moment.

Then came the rustling and swaying sounds of the blankets being moved.

Shiranui Sho knocked again.

"Don't knock, just come in!"

Tsunade's slightly confused and impatient voice echoed from inside the room.

Then, Shiranui Sou pushed open the door and entered.

What came into his view was Tsunade's dimly lit room with the curtains tightly drawn.

There weren't many things in the room, but they were arranged in a somewhat messy way, showing that Tsunade hadn't been taking good care of her life lately.

As soon as Shiranui Sho stepped into the room, a faint fragrance mixed with the smell of alcohol immediately entered his nose.

He looked toward the inside of the room, following the direction from which the smell was coming.

What came into view was a soft bed. Tsunade's full and graceful body was covered with a thin blanket. She was facing the direction of Shiranui Sou, her beautiful eyes closed.

On the small table by the bed, there was a blue wine pot, with a few drops of wine faintly visible on the surface.

Seemingly sensing someone entering, Tsunade, half asleep and half awake, turned over.

Half of her delicate body, which had been covered by a thin blanket, was exposed, and the snow-white skin at the open neckline flashed before Shiranui Xiao's eyes.

Feeling a heat on the tip of her nose, Shiranui Sho quickly looked away and coughed lightly in an attempt to wake the other person.

"Lady Tsunade, I..."

"Come here..."

Tsunade's voice, which sounded like a murmur or a call, interrupted Shiranui Sho's words.

He couldn't immediately tell if the other person was conscious, so after scratching the dark purple short hair, he still took a step forward and came to the bedside.

Tsunade's snow-white skin was exposed at the chest, and following the principle of not looking at what is improper, Shiranui Sho's gaze moved downwards.

Then, one's gaze is inevitably drawn to the shapely, perky lower half.

Further down, there are bare, snow-white insteps and white jade toes.

His long career as a ninja seems to have left no trace on it that would hinder his appreciation.

No, I'm here to do something important!

Shiranui Sho shook her head, dispelling the inappropriate thoughts, and tried again to wake Tsunade.

Just then, Tsunade's slender arm, which was resting on the edge of the bed, grabbed his hand, which was placed beside him, and a cool sensation came from the back of his hand.

Tsunade's face was still flushed from a hangover, and her thin, cicada-wing-like lips moved slightly as she mumbled in a coquettish tone, "Help me change my clothes~"

As her lips parted, a faint scent of alcohol mingled with the subtle fragrance emanating from Tsunade.

Shiranui Xiao's Adam's apple bobbed slightly as she subconsciously looked at the short-sleeved shirt hanging on a clothes rack not far away.

"grandmother……"

The second half of her call for Mito Uzumaki was slowly uttered from her mouth, instantly calming Shiranui Sho's heart.

So they mistook me for Uzumaki Kazumi...

Shiranui Sou's lips twitched slightly.

That makes sense, in Tsunade's subconscious, there are only two people in this family: Mito Uzumaki and herself.

He moved his left hand, trying to break free from Gang Shou's slender hand that was firmly gripping his wrist.

However, her fair and delicate arm, which was even thinner than his hand, remained as still as an incomparably hard piece of steel.

After a moment of silence, Shiranui Sou also settled down and simply sat down on the edge of the bed.

Holding Shiranui Sho's arm, Tsunade finally seemed to have an outlet for the emotions she had been suppressing.

"Father, Mother, Rope Tree..."

Tsunade's face showed a heartbreaking expression of sadness, and two tear tracks slid down from the corners of her eyes.

"Grandma, don't leave me..."

Tsuna gently took Shiranui Sho's hand and placed it on her warm face, which was flushed.

"..."

Shiranui Sho's body stiffened at first, then slowly relaxed.

Looking at the deep sorrow etched on his face, he sighed.

He let her hold his left hand, while his right hand gently patted her shoulder.

Chapter 39 Oh no, it's a honey trap!

Tsunade's current state is not only due to the past, but also to her fear of losing her last loved one in the future.

She knew that in the near future, in order to ensure the smooth succession of the Tailed Beast Jinchuriki, Mito Uzumaki would choose to actively break the seal and transfer the Nine-Tails.

This is not only for the benefit of the village, but also for the wishes of Mizuto Uzumaki.

Whether as a Jonin of the village or as a granddaughter, she had no right to stop it.

But one day, Mizuto Uzumaki left, and she was left all alone in this once warm family.

In the original work, she left home shortly after Mito Uzumaki's death.

The sun outside the window gradually rose to its zenith, and then slowly set at its brightest moment.

It was afternoon.

After a good night's sleep, Tsuna finally woke up, supporting her forehead with her other snow-white arm as she propped herself up on the soft bed.

The thin blanket slipped off her fragrant shoulders, and her messy golden hair fell to her collarbone.

Tsunade looked blankly at Shiranui Sho, who stood upright beside the bed.

"Kid, what are you doing..."

Halfway through her speech, her blank mind finally reconnected.

She coughed lightly, her tone slightly awkward.

"Oh right, was today the date we arranged last time?"

Having just woken up, coupled with a somewhat ashamed expression, her sleepy eyes appeared even more alluring, making it hard to look away.

However.

Before Shiranui Sho could react, Tsunade suddenly realized something was wrong and raised her eyebrows.

"Kid, this is my room. Who gave you permission to just walk in!"

"..."

Oh no, it's a honey trap!

Upon hearing these words, a sense of foreboding flashed across Shiranui Sho's eyes.

Although he opened the door and came in after hearing Tsunade's call, this explanation might not make sense to someone who is hungover.

Then Tsunade will use her superhuman strength to give him a close-quarters lesson...

hiss……

He had personally witnessed how Tsunade could break an enemy's body with a single punch on the battlefield.

If he hadn't witnessed the incredible strength of the monster firsthand, he wouldn't have had the nerve to ask for help last time.

Fortunately, the sound coming from outside the door saved him from his predicament.

“Tsunade, you let this child in yourself. I heard it from outside.”

Mito Uzumaki did not come in directly, but her voice traveled into the room through the open door.

"grandmother……"

A complex look flashed in Tsunade's eyes.

After the hostility in her eyes faded, she stretched and said to Xiao.

"Wait for me in the yard. I'll come find you in five minutes."

Tsuna's small, nail-painted feet traced a snow-white arc as she moved from the bed to the floor and slipped into those exquisite sandals.

She needs to get out of bed.

Upon hearing this, Shiranui Xiao nodded slightly, then turned and left.

After closing the door behind him, he subconsciously recalled the feel of his palm.

Just now, Tsunade seemed to have mistaken him for Mito Uzumaki in her sleep, pressing her hand tightly against his fair and smooth cheek.

Tsunade is currently at the peak of her feminine charm; even without the Yin Seal, she has abundant Qi and blood and is full of vitality.

Her skin was so tender it looked like it could be squeezed to release water.

However, since Tsunade had just been frowning and even crying in her sleep, Shiranui Sho didn't think too much about it.

Only after leaving the room did the tactile sensation gradually linger in my memory.

"...Mito-sama!"

As soon as she closed the door and turned around, Shiranui Sho immediately came face to face with Uzumaki Mito and greeted her somewhat guiltily.
