I, Uchiha: Split Konoha

Chapter 193 Tsunade in Stockings

"You know about my right eye too."

When talking about his right eye, Uchiha Yoru looked directly at Tsunade with a look that said, "You have to take responsibility," which made Tsunade smile in exasperation.

"Awakened Eye Technique: Takamagahara, a spatial eye technique. I can instantly reach any place within my sight, similar to the Flying Thunder God Technique."

Upon hearing this eye technique, Tsunade immediately realized, "No wonder you appeared so suddenly without leaving a trace. It really is a space-time ninjutsu."

"It can arrive instantly within the line of sight, without the need for marking as with the Flying Thunder God, which is an advantage over the Flying Thunder God. However, in places where the line of sight is out of sight, the Flying Thunder God can teleport using its own markings, so it is inferior in this respect."

"No, your ninjutsu should have a range, otherwise, if you look at the moon, are you going to teleport directly to the moon?" Tsunade chuckled and teased as she said this.

In response to Tsunade's teasing, Uchiha Yoru casually laughed and said, "The farther the distance, the more chakra is consumed. As long as you have enough strength, you might be able to teleport to the moon."

"Kid, you're quite the big talker." Tsunade chuckled, then looked into the other person's dark eyes. She was momentarily stunned and unconsciously reached out to touch those eyes.

"Little puppy, you need to protect your eyes. Although the Mangekyou Sharingan is powerful, it also consumes some of your eye power. Even though you have awakened your Wood Release physique and been strengthened, you still shouldn't overuse it."

Faced with Tsunade's comforting words, Uchiha Yoru narrowed his eyes, revealing an expression of enjoyment, and nodded, saying, "Little puppy? I still prefer the way you used to call me big brother."

The relationship between the two was somewhat delicate, always staying within a certain line. No matter what methods he used, Tsunade never crossed the line.

After all, the union of the Senju and Uchiha clans is not just about the two of them; it will trigger a series of chain reactions.

With a bang, a thick smoke flashed by, and Tsunade, who had just been a beautiful, rich, and fierce older sister, instantly transformed into a young girl, just like when the two first met.

"Do you still want to? That's something only a beast would do."

Under the provocative gaze of the girlish Tsunade, Uchiha Yoru stepped forward and stroked her soft blonde hair with his large hand, laughing, "Come on, call me 'brother,' and I'll buy you candy, be good."

"abnormal!"

"She can be both salty and sweet, fierce and gentle, wolfish and tender, charming and assertive, and forever young. Every man would love her."

"Little puppy, call me 'big sister' so I can hear it."

As night fell, the lights in the house suddenly went out as the two were playfully fighting.

In the instant she was plunged into darkness, Tsunade's eyes narrowed, and then a familiar body embraced her, and she found herself in a familiar embrace.

Uchiha Yoru, now shrouded in darkness, squinted greedily at the scent emanating from Tsunade. Seeing Tsunade give up struggling, he understood everything.

"Just like that, I want to hug you, and maybe then there won't be so many regrets."

The two embraced, and the window, which had been opened at some point, let in the beautiful moonlight. The stars twinkled in the sky, and the air quality in the ninja world was quite good. The stars and crescent moon under the night sky were truly magnificent.

The two of them leaned against each other, admiring the stars and the sea under the night sky like lovers.

Uchiha Yoru felt a different kind of peace and a captivating aura, but he sighed inwardly.

Tsunade still couldn't accept it. Her body was stiff and she didn't resist just now. Perhaps she was thinking about repaying the life-saving grace from last time, and then she would let it go or suppress it with a clear conscience.

Although she disliked the village's higher-ups, she absolutely did not want to watch the village descend into division. After all, her position was too sensitive; even a single action of hers could bring the village in a new direction.

If her selfishness leads to a disaster for the village, she will not let herself off the hook.

"Alright, there's no need to feel guilty. It was my own choice back then, just like now. Tonight, stay with me to watch the moon and stars. After dawn, we'll be even, and you'll still be Tsunade, one of the Legendary Sannin."

There was no coercion whatsoever, nor was there any use of emotions to threaten her. What she felt was a gentle, refined atmosphere, which was very pleasant.

"You little rascal."

Tsunade, feeling no pressure whatsoever, smiled. For the first time, she could lie so openly and easily in someone's arms. For the first time, she felt cared for, and it seemed that she also needed this kind of protection that women crave.

With her heart open, she leaned lazily against a broad, strong chest, her eyes slightly unfocused as she gazed at the starry sky and moonlight outside the open window.

"I only saw it when I was a child, in my great-grandfather's arms. I've never seen it again. The world of ninjas is really exhausting."

"Yes, let's be unrestrained for a while. Tonight, there are no Senju or Uchiha, only you and me."

Smelling the delicate fragrance, he didn't know what kind of shampoo it was, but it smelled really good. It was also the first time he had ever been able to play with it so freely.

Her delicate hands, adorned with red nail polish, were being played with. This time, Tsunade let go of everything and nestled in a man's arms, murmuring to herself, "I never thought I'd snag such a cute little puppy."

"Am I being a kept man?"

Both of them are competitive and unwilling to admit defeat, but they are also both intelligent.

Therefore, both sides chose to remain silent. Their identities carried countless honors, but also their own pressures and missions, so they both chose to reveal their bottom lines.

But the two of them seemed to be in perfect sync, and neither of them was offended.

Uchiha Yomi also showed a relaxed expression. This time he was truly relaxed. Ever since the Nine-Tails' attack, his heart had been on edge and he had never relaxed even for a moment. This was the first time he was so relaxed.

He is human, and he gets tired too, but Tsunade gives him a different feeling because they are both intelligent people.

Similarly, Uchiha Yoru's belief was never in conspiracies and tricks, but in open and aboveboard strategies.

For example, if Tsunade were really taken hostage, would he do this? Yes!

Because he knew that if he went against his own heart, his beliefs would collapse, and he would lose himself.

Looking at the vast starry sky, Tsunade suddenly burst into a bright smile, as if something had occurred to her. "I never thought that the most serious look I'd ever had at the stars and the moon would be through a window."

Indeed, the two of them nestled together on the tatami mat, gazing at the starry sky through the small window, a scene that seemed both amusing and heartwarming.

Looking at the way he held her in his arms, seemingly unwilling to be separated for even a moment, a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes.

She carried too many burdens: the responsibilities of the Senju clan, the Sannin, and the beliefs of her great-grandfather, great-great-grandfather, and Nawaki in protecting the village. She dared not easily reveal her emotions.

So, overwhelmed with guilt, Tsunade slowly turned her head, her warm, jade-like hands gently embracing the embrace that had brought her warmth and comfort for so many years.

With her hands, painted with red nail polish, groping around, Uchiha Yoru squinted her eyes, enjoying the sight, completely embodying the image of a virtuous man who could remain unmoved even with a woman in his lap.

How can someone who wants to accomplish great things lack perseverance!

Despite the various temptations, and even the lewd atmosphere and embarrassing sounds in the room, Uchiha Yoru still couldn't control his desires and impulses.

Men can be lustful, but men who achieve great things must learn to control their desires.

Her clothes were disheveled, and two pairs of black high heels were carelessly tossed aside. Her delicate, jade-like toes were painted with red nail polish, giving her a youthful air that prompted Uchiha Yoru to quickly change the subject.

"Such beautiful feet, it's a shame they're not wearing stockings. Also, your high heels are a bit outdated. Change into stilettos when you leave tomorrow. And with such beautiful feet and legs, you should wear stockings."

Pfft~ Pfft~

Under Uchiha Yoru's teasing and playful teasing, Tsunade was filled with anger. This brat was really troublesome. His willpower was so strong. What was this?

Can't you just cooperate and stop here when it gets light?

Uchiha Yoru, however, remained motionless, gritting his teeth. He wouldn't budge no matter what anyone said!

He can still tell the difference between being full at one meal and being full at another.

As the old saying goes, "A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan." Success requires effort; no one succeeds easily.

Moreover, his goal is the entire universe.

He can't hold back now, but if he does something in the future, he'll probably end up either being enemies or siding with neither side if they meet again. He's not stupid.

……

As dawn broke, only traces of disorder remained inside the hotel.

As sunlight streamed in, Uchiha Yoru breathed a sigh of relief, a relaxed expression appearing on his face as he looked at the empty room and the lingering scent in the air.

"Looks like I should go too."

Thinking back to last night, he shook his head with a headache, "As expected, a mature Tsunade is extraordinary; I almost couldn't control myself."

He didn't know what would happen if he had crossed the line last night, but the relationship between the two of them would probably never be the same again. So he kept himself in check.

Under the sunlight, outside the town gates, a figure walked proudly outwards.

zizi~

An ice pop stretched back and forth in the air, and the usually dashing Tsunade rubbed her aching cheek, a rare sight. For some reason, a nauseating smell lingered in her mouth, which immediately made her look annoyed.

"Damn brat, he's so troublesome."

With a bang, the spirit beast slug appeared, along with the long-absent silence.

Upon seeing the dashing Tsunade, Shizune immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Lady Tsunade, it's been a long time."

This was the first time she had been separated from Tsunade for so long since she started following her, and as a sensitive woman, Shizune's eyes were filled with indescribable emotions.

"Long time no see, Mute."

Seeing that Lady Tsunade hadn't gotten angry for the first time, Shizune was taken aback. She then looked up and asked in confusion, "Lady Tsunade, what's wrong with your voice? Is your throat sore?"

Upon hearing this, Tsunade's eyes flashed with embarrassment, and she cursed inwardly, "Damn brat, you've made my throat uncomfortable and my voice is hoarse."

"Mute, this is for you, put it on."

A set of clothes was thrown at her. Only then did Shizune look up and notice Tsunade's change in demeanor. Her face showed shock, and clutching the thrown clothes, she exclaimed in astonishment, "Tsunade-sama! You! You!"

"What's wrong with me?"

Tsunade looked at Shizune with some suspicion, while Shizune exclaimed, "Lady Tsunade, your clothes!"

"So beautiful." The last two words were uttered in a hushed tone, a hint of envy flashing involuntarily in her eyes.

Tsunade looked completely different from before, her once somewhat old-fashioned green robe replaced by a loose and exquisite kimono.

The white kimono was adorned with hexagonal plum blossoms, and the wide sleeves were trimmed with red thorns, also featuring hexagonal plum blossom patterns. A snow-white, fluffy shawl draped over her proud neck and shoulders.

Her long, flowing blonde hair and bright golden eyes made her look even more aristocratic than before.

She was like a noble empress, exuding a powerful aura, especially with her innate arrogance and aristocratic demeanor.

And on her feet, the old-fashioned black high heels were gone, replaced by a pair of crystal peep-toe sky-high heels, elegant and exuding nobility. The crystal ribbons on the high heels wrapped around her calves, adding a touch of luxury.

"Lady Tsunade, are you wearing stockings?"

The ninja's keen observation immediately caught Shizune's astonishment, as if to say, "Lady Tsunade, didn't you used to hate this troublesome thing the most?"

"How is it? I think I look pretty good in this outfit."

Facing Shizune, the mature Tsunade showed no embarrassment whatsoever. Instead, she raised her proud, snow-white neck, turned around gracefully, and asked haughtily, as if to say, "Isn't she beautiful?"

However, the amazement in Shizune's eyes said it all, and no woman doesn't love beauty and enjoy being praised.

Looking at Tsunade, who had suddenly changed so much, Shizune was both envious and curious. "Lady Tsunade, your clothes seem a bit too big. But the material and workmanship, especially this white shawl, it looks like a snow fox! Lady Tsunade, did you rob some nobles?"

She has always lived frugally, but today she has suddenly changed so much. Moreover, Shizune has been following Tsunade and has seen a lot. In addition, women have a natural obsession with clothing, so she can naturally tell the value of the material at a glance.

"Lady Tsunade, why do you have an extra sword at your waist? Don't you usually not use ninja swords?"

Under Shizune's envious and amazed gaze, and with her constant questioning, Tsunade, bursting with vanity, suddenly revealed a giggling smile reminiscent of her teenage years.

"It's normal for the clothes to be a bit big. After all, kimonos are meant to be loose. Besides, I'm wearing such high heels, so naturally the clothes will be a bit big. But I'll have to trouble you, Shizune, to help me tighten them up and alter them later."

It's obvious that Tsunade isn't bad at female workers; she simply doesn't know how at all.

At this moment, Shizune looked at Tsunade, whose appearance had changed drastically, and the envy she showed was genuine; she had an innate obsession with beautiful women.

Especially when it comes to a woman's beauty, the stunning sight made Tsunade's lips curl into a smile, and her face lit up with a radiant grin. She secretly thought to herself, "It seems that the kid has quite a discerning eye."

"Lady Tsunade, you are more like a noblewoman than a noblewoman now. You are practically a princess of the Land of Fire, no! You should be a female daimyo."

Seeing Shizune's flattery, Tsunade chuckled in annoyance, "Shizune, I've prepared some clothes for you to change into. Let's go."

At this moment, Shizune realized that she also had clothes made of precious materials. Compared to Tsunade, Shizune's clothes were obviously ordinary. Therefore, Uchiha Yoru chose a tight-fitting protective outfit.

The black bodysuit, with its exquisite armor and slit design, paired with delicate black high heels and stockings, left Shizune completely stunned.

"Lady Tsunade, are we really going to wear these clothes? Isn't it a bit too formal?"

"What's so solemn about it? This time, I'm visiting the Land of Water on behalf of the Princess of the Land of Fire."

Tsunade smiled proudly, clearly satisfied with her outfit for this trip. As expected, this kid is really rich and generous.

Upon hearing this, Shizune suddenly realized that she was going to visit the Land of Water as the princess of the Land of Fire. No wonder she needed to dress so formally.
