Chapter 04: Tsunade's Outburst (1st Update, seeking fresh flowers and collections)
"Little sister, you really are young." Tsunade said, looking at Tengen's flat chest.
This made Tengen secretly breathe a sigh of relief. It was good he wasn't discovered, but now he needed to get the bathrobe from Tsunade's hand. Otherwise, if he stood up from the water, his secret—the secret of being a boy—would be easily discovered.
"Look how big big sister is," Tsunade said.
This made Tengen feel like his nose was about to bleed. His mental age was that of a genuine adult.
Tsunade, do you have to be like this? Tengen screamed in his heart, but his face could only show a shy expression. If he stayed any longer, Tengen felt he was done for.
The more open Tsunade acted now, if she discovered Tengen was a boy, Tengen didn't know what the final outcome would be.
Would he be torn to pieces by Tsunade?
"Lady Tsunade, I see this girl looks anxious. Let her go," Shizune said from the side.
Hearing this, Tengen breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. He wanted to cheer for Shizune. Thank you for helping me out of this predicament. Now it depended on whether Tsunade agreed.
"Oh, alright. Little sister, go find your mom and dad quickly." Tsunade nodded. Since this little sister was here alone, perhaps her parents hadn't noticed, so they would be anxious too.
"O-Okay." Tengen nodded. "Um, my bathrobe."
"Let me put it on for you." Tsunade smiled slightly. Regardless of Tengen's resistance, she wanted to dress Tengen. Tengen couldn't let that happen and quickly struggled because if Tsunade helped him dress, it would be easy to be discovered.
"Oh no." Tengen's foot slipped, and he fell backward. Tsunade froze and quickly supported him, and then Tsunade seemed to see something she shouldn't have seen.
Shizune also froze slightly and blushed.
"A boy." Shizune was stunned.
"So, the little sister is actually a little brother." Tsunade's smile was very fake and filled with a chill, making Tengen feel inexplicably cold inside.
"Um, I thought bathing here was all the same," Tengen quickly said. If he didn't want to die, he could only rely on making things up.
"Oh, little brother, where are your parents?" Tsunade smiled falsely.
"I am alone right now," Tengen said with a slightly low voice. This wasn't a lie; in the Naruto World, Tengen was indeed alone.
"Is that so? Although big sister sympathizes, the punishment you deserve is still necessary." Wearing her bathrobe, Tsunade walked to Tengen's side.
Then, a tragic and unparalleled abuse began.
"How dare you enter the women's bathhouse!"
"How dare you not say it earlier!"
"Children need to learn their lesson early."
A moment later, a boy with a bruised and swollen face walked out of the bathhouse, looking at the slightly dim sky.
"It's great that I didn't die," Tengen sighed. It was also because Tsunade saw he was a child; otherwise, it wouldn't have been such a simple lesson.
"Fellow enthusiast, fellow enthusiast." Beside him, Jiraiya, with a nosebleed and looking wretched, had a gleam in his eyes. "I didn't expect you to dress as a girl to go in."
"Lord Jiraiya, no matter what, it's impossible for you to act the part," Tengen said from the side.
Tengen could do it because he was a child and had handsome features. If it were Jiraiya, this old man acting as a woman, it would be too disgusting.
"That's true." Jiraiya nodded. "How about this? I'll accept you as my little brother. How about that?"
"No." Tengen shook his head. "I'm not the same as you."
"That's not right. I am one of the Sannin. Wait, kid, others beg me for this," Jiraiya quickly said.
"Um, Lord Jiraiya." Tengen suddenly said.
"What?" Jiraiya asked.
"Let's not talk about the little brother thing for now. Can you take me to the hospital?" After finishing, Tengen fell backward directly. Tsunade's lesson wasn't that easy to withstand.
"Kid." Jiraiya caught Tengen and headed directly to the Konoha Hospital.
Inside the bathhouse.
"Lady Tsunade, the little brother was taken away by Lord Jiraiya," Shizune said to Tsunade.
At this moment, the two had dressed. Tsunade also knew the weight of her hand. Although it was superficial trauma, it put some pressure on a child's body.
So she was about to go out and take Tengen away, but she didn't expect Jiraiya to leave a step earlier.
"Let's go to the Konoha Hospital," Tsunade said. "By the way, Shizune, go investigate this little guy."
"Yes, Lady Tsunade," Shizune said.
...
Konoha Hospital.
"Tsunade, why were you so heavy-handed? You said he's just a child; he's only eight years old," Jiraiya said.
"Blaming me? You are a stinking pervert too. Do you want me to give you a punch as well?" Tsunade said.
"Wait, isn't he my little brother? I'm just standing up for him," Jiraiya quickly said, feeling somewhat terrified of Tsunade's Monstrous Strength.
Just now, Jiraiya felt like he was going to lose his life under Tsunade's Monstrous Strength.
"Little brother? He hasn't admitted to that," Tsunade said speechlessly.
"I'm determined to have this little brother," Jiraiya said.
"Looking at him, he is quite similar to you," Tsunade said. "His parents are long gone, but his personality is cheerful, he has thick nerves, and his talent isn't high, but he is very hardworking. He can't stand seeing others bully the weak."
"Hehe, didn't I say it? I find Tengen pleasing to the eye. Before I knew his background, I was already like this," Jiraiya chuckled.
"Speaking of which, you have a disciple. You already have Minato," Tsunade said.
"It's different. Tengen isn't a disciple, he's a little brother. A younger brother, understand?" Jiraiya said loudly. "Anyway, Tsunade, when will Tengen wake up?"
"Soon. I've treated him. If he wants to be discharged, he can leave at any time," Tsunade said.
"Then let him stay until tomorrow," Jiraiya said.
"Lady Tsunade, Lord Jiraiya, Tengen has woken up." Shizune walked out and said.
"Let's go, let's go see the kid."
