Then he turned and left, his figure gradually disappearing into the afterglow of the setting sun.
His departure was like a gentle breeze, carrying away the smoke and blood of the battlefield, leaving only Nangong Yehua and Tsunade gazing at each other silently on this tranquil battlefield.
Chapter 589 Long Time No See Rem
With Itachi Uchiha's departure, the clamor and tension of the battlefield dissipated.
Nangong Yehua and Tsunade finally had a chance to calm down and carefully examine each other.
They discovered that the other person bore the marks of battle, but their resilience and indomitable spirit were even more vividly etched on their faces.
Nangong Yehua still looked handsome and dashing, but his eyes had gained a touch of composure and depth.
Although his body was exhausted, his strength and determination were like a volcano, ready to erupt at any time to meet the new 14 challenges.
Tsunade, on the other hand, appeared even more resolute and courageous. Although her face was slightly haggard from the smoke of gunpowder, her eyes burned with a fiery intensity.
Burning with a thirst for victory and unwavering loyalty to Konoha, her body bore many wounds, but her indomitable spirit and resilience were as unbreakable as steel.
The two stood silently on the battlefield, surrounded by the corpses of rogue ninjas, the air thick with the stench of blood and gunpowder.
But amidst this chaos, they found a rare tranquility and peace.
They knew that although the battle was brutal, it also strengthened their resolve and belief in protecting Konoha.
At this moment, in the God and Demon Canyon, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the ground, making the bloodstains and corpses on the battlefield appear particularly glaring.
Under the setting sun in the God and Demon Canyon, the atmosphere between Nangong Yehua and Tsunade became exceptionally warm and profound.
Nangong Yehua broke the silence first, his voice gentle yet powerful, seemingly able to penetrate the dust of time and reach the depths of Tsunade's heart:
"long time no see!"
These four words, simple yet full of deep affection, flowed into Tsunade's heart like a warm current.
Upon hearing this, her eyes instantly turned red, and tears welled up in her eyes and surged forth like a tidal wave.
It slid down her cheeks, dripping onto the dusty ground and splashing up tiny droplets.
Tsunade's lips trembled slightly, a mixture of excitement at a long-awaited reunion and relief after weathering many storms.
Upon seeing this, Nangong Yehua felt an indescribable pang of sorrow and heartache.
He strode forward, walking resolutely toward Tsunade, each step seemingly expressing his deep appreciation and reluctance to part with this bond.
When the two finally stood together, Nangong Yehua did not hesitate at all. He opened his arms and hugged Tsunade tightly.
At that moment, all the pain, exhaustion, loneliness, and fear seemed to melt away in that warm embrace.
"It's okay, it's okay."
Nangong Yehua's voice was deep and powerful, each word like a comfort and promise from the bottom of his heart.
He gently patted Tsunade's back, the pressure just right, conveying strength while remaining gentle.
In his arms, Tsunade felt an unprecedented sense of security and belonging, as if the whole world had become soft and warm.
Tsunade held Nangong Yehua tightly in her arms, afraid that this was all a dream and that he would disappear without a trace at any moment.
Her fingers gripped his back tightly, as if trying to etch this sense of reality deep into his bones.
Her tears continued to fall, but this time, they were no longer a symbol of sadness, but tears of joy and release.
"You know what? These past few years... I've been so tired, so very tired."
Tsunade's voice was choked with sobs, but within those sobs lay an indescribable resilience and unyielding spirit.
She began to recount her experiences over the years, the days when she faced difficulties and challenges alone.
The loneliness and fear she felt in the dead of night, when no one could confide in her, and her deep longing and concern for Konoha, her comrades, and Nangong Yehua.
Chapter 590 Bringing Tsunade Back to the Mizukage's Residence
"I often think that if I hadn't chosen this path, if I could have been with you, perhaps everything would have been different."
Tsunade's voice carried a hint of regret, but even more so, an expectation for the future. She recounted how she grew stronger through adversity.
How she found strength in solitude, and the unwavering belief deep within her heart.
Nangong Yehua listened quietly, his eyes filled with understanding and sympathy.
He didn't interrupt Tsunade, but hugged her even tighter, as if he was telling her in his own way.
No matter what happened in the past, he is here now and will always be with her.
"Tsunade, you did a great job, really."
Nangong Yehua's voice was gentle yet firm.
"You are stronger and braver than anyone else. Konoha is lucky to have a Hokage like you."
Upon hearing this, Tsunade's tears fell again, but this time, they were tears of gratitude and relief. She raised her head, looking at Nangong Yehua, her eyes shining with unwavering determination:
"Thank you, Nangong. With you here, I feel that everything is worthwhile."
The two embraced tightly in the sunset, as if time had stood still at that moment.
The battlefield was littered with the corpses of rogue ninjas, and the air was thick with the stench of blood and gunpowder. Yet, on this very battlefield, heartwarming and touching scenes were unfolding.
Nangong Yehua and Tsunade, they interpreted what true friendship is and what the belief of never giving up is in their own way.
And this canyon of gods and demons will forever remember this moment of tenderness and determination, becoming their most precious memory.
Nangong Yehua and Tsunade embraced tightly on the ruins of the God and Demon Valley, as if time had frozen at that moment.
All the noise and fighting have faded away, leaving only the sound of each other's heartbeats and breaths.
Their embrace was a farewell to the past, and also an expectation and promise for the future.
After a while, Nangong Yehua gently patted Tsunade's back, indicating that it was time for her to leave.
Although Tsunade was somewhat reluctant, she knew that now was not the time to indulge in sentimentality.
She raised her head and looked into Nangong Yehua's deep eyes, which shone with determination and gratitude.
"Let's go, let's go back to the Water Shadow Mansion first."
Nangong Yehua's voice was gentle yet powerful, seemingly capable of dispelling all gloom. He took Tsunade's hand, and the two embarked on their journey home together.
Nangong Yehua spread his arms, transforming into a streak of light, and carried Tsunade as they sped across the ruins. Their figures drew graceful arcs in the air.
Like two brilliant stars shining in the night sky, Tsunade tightly embraced Nangong Yehua's waist.
She felt the warmth and strength emanating from him. She closed her eyes, her heart filled with longing and anticipation for the future.
Along the way, they traversed dense forests and crossed turbulent rivers, finally arriving at the gates of the Water Shadow Mansion.
The mansion was brightly lit, and Mei Terumi had been waiting for a long time. When she saw Nangong Yehua and Tsunade return safely, a relieved smile appeared on her face.
"You're finally back!" Mei Terumi stepped forward and hugged Tsunade tightly.
"I feel relieved to see you are okay."
Tsunade hugged Mei Terumi tightly, tears welling in her eyes. She said gratefully, "..."
"Thank you, Mei Terumi. I'm so happy to have you here waiting for me."
Chapter 591 Nangong Yehua's Highlight Moment
Nangong Yehua stood aside, watching their figures embrace, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart.
He knew that Tsunade and Mei Terumi shared a deep bond, and he was proud to be one of them.
"Okay, let's go in first."
Nangong Yehua broke the silence, leading Tsunade and Mei Terumi into the mansion.
Inside the mansion, they sat together and began to discuss their next plans.
Nangong Yehua mentioned the disappearance of Tsunade's grandfather, the God of Shinobi, Hashirama Senju.
He was well aware of the seriousness of the matter and knew that they had to find Hashirama Senju as soon as possible to ensure peace between Konoha and the ninja world.
"We have to act quickly."
Nangong Yehua's voice was firm and powerful.
"I will contact my intelligence network to find out where Hashirama Senju is. As for you, you must ensure the safety of the Mizukage's residence and prevent the enemy from taking advantage of the situation to launch a sneak attack."
Tsunade and Mei Terumi both nodded in agreement.
After Nangong Yehua, Mei Terumi, and Tsunade finished discussing their plans to find Hashirama Senju and ensure the safety of the Mizukage's residence, a hint of relaxation emerged from the slightly tense atmosphere.
Mei Terumi gently broke the silence, her voice like a spring breeze, carrying a hint of barely perceptible concern:
(bede) "You haven't eaten yet, have you? Let's go, the servants have already prepared dinner."
Upon hearing this, Tsunade smiled gently and nodded slightly, her voice tinged with gratitude:
"Yes, thank you, Mei Terumi."
Tsunade's voice was gentle yet firm, as if telling everyone that no matter how difficult the road ahead, she would persevere.
Seeing this, Nangong Yehua felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He laughed heartily, his voice cheerful and infectious, as if it could dispel all gloom:
"Haha, let's go then. I want to try the food at the Water Shadow Mansion."
As he spoke, he stretched out his left arm and naturally put his arm around Mei Terumi's shoulder, while his right hand gently rested on Tsunade's waist.
His actions were both gentlemanly and affectionate, as if to tell them that no matter what storms the future held, he would always be their strong support.
Neither Mei Terumi nor Tsunade rejected Nangong Yehua's advances. They smiled at each other, their eyes sparkling with understanding and trust.
Led by Nangong Yehua, the three of them walked together toward the main hall.
Inside the main hall, the lights were bright and the room was resplendent with gold. The tall pillars were carved with intricate patterns, and every stroke revealed the craftsman's exquisite skills.
In the center of the main hall was a rectangular dining table, laden with all sorts of delicious dishes, their aromas irresistible and mouthwatering.
As Nangong Yehua and his companions entered the main hall, the servants immediately came forward and bowed respectfully.
Their faces wore smiles, their eyes gleaming with reverence and loyalty to their master. Nangong Yehua smiled and nodded, signaling them to leave.
The three sat around the dining table, and Mei Terumi personally poured wine for Nangong Yehua and Tsunade.
Her movements were elegant and composed, as if every detail had been meticulously crafted. Nangong Yehua picked up her wine glass, took a small sip, and exclaimed in admiration:
"Excellent wine! Truly excellent wine!"
His voice was full of appreciation and admiration for the fine wine.
Tsunade picked up her chopsticks, took a piece of fish, and put it in her mouth. She chewed it carefully, a satisfied smile appearing on her face.
"Mmm, this fish is so tender and delicious, it's absolutely delicious."
Her voice carried a hint of satisfaction and joy.
Chapter 592 Drinking and Eating Heartily
Watching the two women eat with relish, Nangong Yehua felt a surge of happiness. He smiled and said:
"It seems that the chefs at our Water Shadow Mansion are quite skilled. You should come and try their food more often in the future."
Upon hearing this, Mei Terumi smiled slightly, a sly glint in her eyes:
"Of course. But Nangong, you must remember to prepare plenty of good wine and food."
Her voice carried a hint of teasing and anticipation.
Nangong Yehua laughed loudly and patted his chest, guaranteeing:
"Don't worry, I, Nangong Yehua, may not be able to say anything else, but when it comes to food and drink, I will definitely not treat you poorly."
His voice was full of confidence and pride.
The three chatted and ate in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere. They talked about their past experiences, future plans, and funny stories about each other.
Under Nangong Yehua's leadership, the main hall was filled with laughter and joy.
As night deepened, the banquet held inside the main hall of the Mizukage's residence by Nangong Yehua, Tsunade, and Mei Terumi seemed to have no end in sight.
The aroma of wine intertwines with the fragrance of food, creating an indescribable warm atmosphere.
The three sat around the dining table, clinking glasses and laughing, as if trying to leave all their troubles behind.
Mei Terumi and Tsunade, two powerful women who are usually renowned in the ninja world, have both let down their guard and are enjoying this rare moment of leisure.
Their faces were flushed, and their eyes were glazed; they were clearly a little tipsy.
