Chapter 21 - Chapter Twenty-One: Reaching a Consensus Amidst Misunderstandings

  "Hey, Jin-kun, what are you thinking about?"

  Tsunade suddenly jumped out from nowhere, startling Jin, who was thinking about how to swindle money from her.

  "N-nothing, nothing at all. I definitely wasn't thinking about you."

  Jin waved his hands repeatedly, his face flushing red. He had lived two lives, yet he was only thinking about swindling money from a little girl; it was too shameful...

  Explanations were just cover-ups, and cover-ups were the truth!

  Tsunade's eyes widened, thinking to herself: Could it be that Jin-kun was thinking about me this early in the morning?

  Perfect deduction; Jin's mind was indeed full of Tsunade. But poor Tsunade had no idea that Jin was only thinking about her for her money!

  Regardless, Tsunade was certain in her heart

  that Jin definitely liked her!

  However, her feelings towards Jin: He was indeed an interesting person. Despite being a commoner, he wasn't afraid of the scions of powerful families at all, and he even taught her to play a very interesting dice game. He was also very strong, subduing Hyuga Yoshitari of the Hyuga clan in one move.

  "His looks..."

  Tsunade couldn't help but steal a glance at Jin.

  Dawn was breaking, and the first rays of pale golden sunlight were just falling, illuminating Jin's handsome profile with dazzling brilliance. His brows were slightly furrowed, and Jin's pale blue eyes, as deep as the ocean, gazed into the distance, revealing a mature charm beyond his years. "

  He's quite handsome!"

  Tsunade nodded hesitantly, but was quickly drawn back to Jin's furrowed brows. "

  What is he thinking? Is he thinking about me? No, that expression means he's thinking about something important!" Indeed, a man like him must be contemplating something profound. The meaning of ninjas' existence, the future relationship between the Five Great Nations, or the course of this war?

  It has to be said, Tsunade had completely fallen in love...

  because Jin hadn't considered the meaning of ninjas' existence at all. He cared even less about the future relationship between the Five Great Nations.

  As for the course of the war, as long as the situation hadn't deteriorated to the point where a four-year-old was needed, Jin didn't care at all.

  "Money, where are we going to get the money?"

  Jin turned to look at Tsunade, whose face was flushed, and couldn't help but shake his head inwardly: Forget it, sticking to the same old trick is going too far.

  "Jin-kun is peeking at me..."

  Tsunade's face turned even redder.

  Seeing this, Jin couldn't help but reach out and stroke Tsunade's forehead: "Tsunade, are you alright? You don't have a fever, do you?"

  Tsunade was the only rich second-generation heirVuuven knew. If Tsunade also fell ill, he wouldn't even have a last resort...

  "Yeah, I'm fine."

  Tsunade tightly gripped the hem of her clothes, her heart filled with joy and excitement: "Jin-kun is so gentle, he really cares about me!"

  The misunderstanding deepened...

  But this scene was witnessed by a classmate who happened to be passing by.

  "Look, isn't that Tsunade and Jin?" "They're so close!" "No wonder Jin got into school, he's a kept man."

  The kids' chatter was undisguised. Jin didn't seem to mind, but inwardly he cursed: "These little brats are so precocious, the world is going to the dogs!"

  Tsunade, however, clenched her fists, her fierce gaze almost murderous. If these kids hadn't run away in time, Tsunade might have even created a killer eye technique.

  "Jin-kun, don't worry, I know you're not a kept man."

  Tsunade worriedly grabbed Jin's hands, comforting him, "I believe in you!"

  Learning to protect a man's fragile pride is essential to being a good wife; Tsunade clearly remembered her mother saying this.

  "Hmm?"

  Jin was taken aback. Was this the crux of the matter? And was Tsunade really this gentle?

  Although he sensed something was off, Jin quickly came up with a perfect explanation. As mentioned in the manga, Tsunade was originally a very gentle person, but she only pretended to be strong after Dan's death...

  "Yes, that must be it."

  Jin looked at Tsunade encouragingly, nodding secretly: "Girl, you'll become fierce again after your man dies!"

  Go for it, Tsunade!

  "He felt my love!"

  Tsunade and Jin's eyes met in the air, reaching a consensus despite their seemingly nonsensical conversation!
