Mei Terumi gently stroked her wine glass, a tender smile playing on her lips. Her words became soft and lingering, as if every word contained endless affection.
Tsunade was even more unrestrained. Holding a wine bottle in one hand and patting Nangong Yehua's shoulder with the other, her laughter revealed a childlike innocence.
Looking at the two of them like this, Nangong Yehua felt an indescribable warmth welling up in her heart.
He knew how rare and precious such moments were for them.
Therefore, he cherished this moment even more, chatting with the two of them and sharing their stories and dreams.
However, as time went on, the two became increasingly drunk.
Mei Terumi began to slur her words, while Tsunade lay down on the table and began to snore softly.
Seeing this, Nangong Yehua shook his head helplessly, but his heart was filled with doting affection and care. He gently patted the two of them on the shoulders, trying to wake them up, but it was obviously to no avail.
Asking for flowers
Therefore, Nangong Yehua instructed the servants to carry the two back to their respective rooms.
He held Mei Terumi in his arms, feeling her soft body and even breathing, and a tender feeling welled up in his heart.
Tsunade, supported by servants, staggered into her room. Nangong Yehua stood at the door, watching the two of them lie peacefully on the bed before leaving with peace of mind.
After leaving the room, Nangong Yehua went to the courtyard outside. The moonlight, like water, bathed the entire courtyard, adding a touch of mystery and romance to the tranquil night.
He took a deep breath of the fresh air, savoring the tranquility and beauty of the night.
However, he was not completely at ease. The disappearance of Hashirama Senju remained a huge weight on his heart, making it hard for him to breathe.
Just then, a crow suddenly landed on a large tree in the courtyard.
Its feathers are as black as ink, and its eyes gleam with a ghostly green light, as if they can see into the depths of one's heart.
Chapter 593 One Night Without Sleep
Nangong Yehua looked at the crow and was slightly startled. He knew that this was Uchiha Itachi's Ferryman Crow, a mysterious creature capable of transmitting information.
"Have you found out where Hashirama Senju is?"
"I asked softly," Nangong Yehua asked. His voice was low, but filled with anticipation and nervousness. He stared intently at the crow, afraid of missing any detail.
However, the crow simply shook its head, as if "343" was telling him that it had not yet found Hashirama Senju's whereabouts.
Nangong Yehua's heart sank immediately, and a look of disappointment and helplessness appeared on his face.
He knew that Hashirama Senju's disappearance was not only related to the safety of Konoha, but also to the peace and stability of the entire ninja world.
He must find him as soon as possible to stabilize the situation.
However, reality is often crueler than imagined. Looking at the crow, Nangong Yehua felt a surge of helplessness.
He knew that although he possessed a powerful intelligence network, in some aspects he was still unable to contend with those enemies lurking in the shadows.
He had to be more careful to ensure his plans wouldn't be exposed.
Just then, a gust of wind blew by, rustling the leaves as if cheering him on. Nangong Yehua took a deep breath and rallied his spirits.
So he turned and left the courtyard, returning to his room.
He lay in bed, closed his eyes, and began to think about his next plan.
He knew he had to work even harder to find Hashirama Senju's whereabouts.
At the same time, he also needed to strengthen the defenses of the Water Shadow Mansion to ensure its safety. Only then could he sleep soundly.
This night was long and agonizing for Nangong Yehua.
Nangong Yehua lay quietly on the bed in the room, staring at the ceiling, lost in thought.
It was late at night, but he seemed far from sleepy. His heart was filled with worry about the disappearance of Hashirama Senju.
And all sorts of speculation about the future. Every crack in the ceiling, every mottled mark.
In his eyes, they all seemed to become some kind of metaphor, telling of the passage of time and the twists and turns of fate.
The room was completely silent, broken only by the occasional call of a night bird outside the window.
Nangong Yehua's eyes flickered in the darkness, a spark of determination mixed with unease.
He recalled the joyful time he spent with Tsunade and Mei Terumi last night, the rare ease and happiness that now felt like the heaviest burden on his heart.
He knew he couldn't dwell on the good old days forever; he had to face reality and take on his responsibilities.
He tried to close his eyes and drift off to sleep, but the kind yet dignified face of Hashirama Senju kept appearing in his mind.
Nangong Yehua knew that Hashirama Senju was not only a legend of Konoha, but also a guardian of the ninja world.
His disappearance undoubtedly cast a shadow over the entire ninja world.
As a member of Konoha and a partner of Tsunade and Mei Terumi, I must step forward, find Hashirama Senju, and unravel the mystery.
Time seemed to freeze at that moment. Nangong Yehua felt as if she were trapped in an endless loop, unable to escape.
The sound of his heartbeat echoed in his ears, each beat a reminder of the urgency of time and the difficulty of the task.
Chapter 594 Tsunade: I want to go back to Konoha
He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, but the anxiety and unease lingered and wouldn't go away.
And so, Nangong Yehua lay in bed all night until the sky began to lighten and the first rays of sunlight shone through the window onto his face.
He squinted slightly, feeling the warmth and hope from nature.
Although he hadn't slept all night, there was no sign of fatigue or weariness in his eyes; on the contrary, his resolve was even stronger.
He knew he had to pull himself together and face the new challenges. So he slowly sat up in bed, gathered his thoughts, and prepared to start a new day.
As dawn broke and the first rays of sunlight pierced through the thin mist, a soft golden light bathed the tranquil Water Shadow 14 mansion in a gentle glow.
Nangong Yehua gently pushed open the wooden door to the room. He hadn't slept all night, and his eyes showed some fatigue, but even more so, a kind of determination and resolve.
He took a deep breath, savoring the unique freshness of the morning air, as if his mood had also become more relaxed with the fresh air.
Nangong Yehua first walked to the pond in the courtyard and washed her face with the cool water.
The cold water stimulated his skin, instantly clearing his somewhat muddled mind.
He looked up, and water droplets slid down his chin, dripping onto the bluestone slab with a soft but crisp sound.
Gazing at his reflection in the water, Nangong Yehua secretly vowed that no matter how difficult the road ahead, he would find Senju Hashirama and protect the peace of this ninja world.
After gathering her thoughts, Nangong Yehua strode towards the Water Shadow Hall.
Inside the hall, the light was soft and bright. Mei Terumi and Tsunade, two powerful women, were already seated there, talking in hushed tones.
With focused expressions, they seemed to be discussing something important. Nangong Yehua's footsteps echoed in the empty hall, breaking the silence.
Mei Terumi wore a light purple kimono, her hair loosely hanging over her shoulders, making her appear both elegant and dignified.
Tsunade, on the other hand, was dressed in a simple ninja outfit, with short, neat hair and sharp eyes, revealing her powerful aura as one of the Legendary Sannin of Konoha.
The two sat facing each other, with a map spread out on the table, marked with important locations and routes, clearly planning some kind of operation.
Nangong Yehua approached them and listened quietly for a while. Then, Terumi Mei said:
Tsunade nodded, a slight smile appearing on her face:
"Okay, I've been quite busy and tired lately."
Then, Tsunade's expression turned somewhat somber:
"I really want to go back to Konoha. There are so many memories and things I miss there."
Mei Terumi gently patted Tsunade's hand, comforting her:
"Just trust Nangong Yehua. He will definitely find Hashirama Senju's whereabouts. We, the 343s, will also work together to restore Konoha to its former peace."
Upon hearing this, a determined glint flashed in Tsunade's eyes, and she nodded.
Just then, Nangong Yehua suddenly appeared in their line of sight. He lowered his head, a gentle smile on his lips, and quietly looked at them.
The two women seemed to sense something and looked up, immediately spotting Nangong Yehua standing not far away.
They were startled by Nangong Yehua's sudden appearance and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
Nangong Yehua smiled and walked towards them, saying:
"Sorry, I startled you. I didn't sleep all night, thinking about Hashirama Senju, so I came to find you first thing this morning."
Chapter 595 Okay, okay, I'll treat you to dinner.
Mei Terumi and Tsunade exchanged a glance, both seeing understanding and support in each other's eyes.
Mei Terumi stood up, walked to Nangong Yehua's side, and said softly:
"Nangong Yehua, you also need to take care of yourself and not overwork. Let's work together and we'll definitely find Hashirama Senju."
Tsunade also came over and patted Nangong Yehua on the shoulder:
"Yes, Nangong Yehua, you are not fighting alone. Our Konoha comrades, and the entire ninja world, will support you."
Nangong Yehua looked at them gratefully, a warm feeling welling up in her heart.
He knew he was not alone; with these two strong partners by his side, he was more confident in facing future challenges.
The three sat around the table, continuing their discussion of the next steps. Nangong Yehua suggested:
“We can split up. I’ll investigate some possible leads, while you two stay at the Water Shadow’s residence.”
"Strengthen security and keep an eye out for any possible intelligence."
Mei Terumi and Tsunade both agreed, knowing that this was the most reasonable arrangement at present.
After some discussion, the atmosphere in the Water Shadow Hall gradually became more relaxed.
Mei Terumi pouted slightly, her eyes filled with a hint of grievance, and looked at Nangong Yehua, saying softly:
"I'm hungry, let's go out to eat."
There was a hint of coquettishness in her voice that was impossible to refuse.
Upon hearing this, Nangong Yehua's lips curled into a doting smile.
He gently reached out and ruffled Mei Terumi's hair, his gesture tender and full of love.
His eyes were full of doting affection, as if at this moment he would do anything for Terumi Mei.
"Okay, let's go eat, it's on me."
His words were somewhat teasing, yet also full of affection and care for Mei.
Mei Terumi instantly beamed with joy, her eyes curving into crescent shapes, and the corners of her mouth turning up in a sweet smile.
She was like a child who had received a favorite gift, jumping and skipping excitedly as she pulled Tsunade and Nangong Yehua along to the door.
Tsunade couldn't help but smile as she looked at Mei Terumi's expression.
She knew Mei Terumi's temperament well; at this moment, she was like a carefree little girl, enjoying this rare moment of ease and happiness.
The three of them walked out of the Water Shadow Hall and along the path in the courtyard toward the outside of the mansion.
The morning sunlight streamed into the courtyard, illuminating everything with brightness and vibrancy. A gentle breeze rustled the leaves, as if playing a cheerful melody for their departure.
Mei Terumi skipped and hopped all the way, occasionally turning back to look at Nangong Yehua and Tsunade, her eyes sparkling with excitement.
She would sometimes point to the flowers by the roadside, and sometimes to the birds flying in the sky, as if she wanted to share this joy with everyone.
Nangong Yehua and Tsunade followed behind her, their faces beaming with smiles, enjoying this rare moment of peace and harmony.
They arrived at a bustling restaurant, which was filled with lively chatter and noise.
The three of them found a window seat (okay?), and ordered several specialty dishes. Mei Terumi looked at the food on the menu.
Their eyes were shining, as if they couldn't wait to taste these delicious foods.
While waiting for their food, the three chatted. Mei Terumi shared some interesting things that had happened to her recently.
This made Nangong Yehua and Tsunade burst into laughter. Nangong Yehua then shared some of her experiences and insights from her search for Hashirama Senju.
This gave Tsunade a deeper understanding of the situation.
Chapter 596 Back to Konoha
Tsunade then talked about her experiences in Konoha, as well as her hopes and aspirations for the future.
As the dishes were served one after another, the three began to enjoy them. Mei Terumi picked up a piece of translucent fish.
He put the food in his mouth and chewed it slowly, a satisfied expression on his face. Nangong Yehua, on the other hand, was enjoying the restaurant's specialty snacks.
