Chapter 86: How Is He Even a Vegetable
"Beep beep, 86 is climbing the hill!"
If you were a seasoned driver, countless indescribable doujin scenes would already be flashing through your mind right now…
To be honest, Li Jiexuan had never felt this good before!
Second Hokage? You pride yourself on being morally upright and immensely powerful, looking down on me?
But what about now?
I'm lying down, and you can only stand there. Even if I wrap my arms around your not-even-three-year-old granddaughter in public, all you can do is watch helplessly!
"Ahem… my throat is so dry…"
Li Jiexuan put on an act, looking as if he were about to die of thirst.
Tsunade immediately turned her head and, without hesitation, ordered, "Second Grandpa, hurry up and pour a glass of water. Jiexuan-kun is thirsty…"
"Nani?"
Senju Tobirama's eyes widened involuntarily. Was this a joke? He was the Hokage of Konoha—his command extended over armies numbering in the millions…
"Hurry up, or I still won't forgive you!"
Tsunade clenched her little fists in anger. She knew everything about Danzo's sneak attack on Li Jiexuan.
As the saying goes, a teacher for a day is a father for life. By that logic, Senju Tobirama was basically Danzo's father. And as another old saying goes, if the son is not taught, the fault lies with the father!
He was in the wrong…
Senju Tobirama sighed and obediently went to pour the water.
"Gulp…"
Seeing this, the bald dean couldn't help swallowing hard. In his entire life, he had never seen such a high-status patient—having the Hokage personally pour water…
"Hey, you, baldy!"
Li Jiexuan opened with a mental critical hit, but the bald dean was a shrewd man. Even the Hokage was obediently pouring water—what was he, some little biscuit? Once Lady Tsunade's feelings cooled off, he could deal with him slowly…
"Young Master Li, what can I do for you?"
The bald dean's old face bloomed like a chrysanthemum. "Hungry or thirsty? Want me to put on a performance for you? I dance pretty well!"
Li Jiexuan briefly imagined it: a hairless old chrysanthemum twisting its waist in the ward…
He nearly threw up. Li Jiexuan shook his head firmly. "No need for that. It's just that in the next couple of days, three patients will be sent back from the front lines. Help take care of them."
Might Guy and the others were badly injured as well and would definitely be sent back to Konoha for treatment.
"Any other instructions?"
The bald dean was being outrageously sycophantic.
But often, the more someone can lower themselves like this, the harder they flip their face once they gain power…
"No. It's just that you look so apologetic that you should try not to appear in front of me in the future."
Li Jiexuan didn't give the bald dean any face at all. He had seen too many people like this in his previous life—leeches within the system who only knew how to curry favor with the powerful and bully the weak, utterly useless otherwise.
He just hadn't expected the world of the Hokage to have such people too…
"Got it. Your word is law. I'll do exactly as you say."
The bald dean rolled away smoothly…
Now, only Li Jiexuan and Tsunade were left in the entire ward.
"I'm really happy you didn't abandon me…"
Tsunade lay against Li Jiexuan's chest, tears shimmering in her eyes. "I almost thought I'd never see you again!"
Hearing this, Li Jiexuan couldn't help feeling moved.
Although Tsunade was young, that affection was genuine! But precisely because of that, Li Jiexuan felt even worse. After thinking for a long while, he finally spoke, "Tsunade, maybe you should give up on me…"
"What?"
"I'm a vegetable now, and I don't know when I'll recover," Li Jiexuan said through clenched teeth. "Maybe one year, maybe ten years, or maybe I'll never recover for the rest of my life. Wuh…"
Tsunade suddenly used her mouth to block Li Jiexuan's. But how could children that young know how to kiss? At most, it was just a fierce collision of lips…
"I won't allow you to say that…"
Tsunade lifted her flushed face, staring at Li Jiexuan with unwavering resolve. "Whether it's one year, ten years, or a lifetime, I'll wait for you!"
Li Jiexuan was stunned for a long moment before muttering, "Where did you even learn that?"
"TV…"
Tsunade lowered her head shyly.
"Watch less of that kind of TV in the future…"
Li Jiexuan grinned. She was barely three—thank goodness. If this were a teenage Tsunade pulling something like this, who could handle it? He wasn't some saint, and he definitely didn't have the skill to control recoil with an eight-times scope! Meanwhile, outside the ward…
Nurses were firmly blocked outside by Senju Tobirama…
"This area is temporarily off-limits!"
Tobirama's face was dark, the cup of water in his hand trembling nonstop. This isn't Li Jiexuan's fault—he's a vegetable, a vegetable! "Damn it, why isn't this kid a normal person? If he were normal, I'd definitely kill him!"
Another nurse walked over, and Senju Tobirama hurriedly stepped in to block her…
