Chapter 139 Tsunade's Purpose
Chapter 139 Tsunade's Purpose
What surprised Tsunade even more was that Yoru wasn't afraid of the Fourth Raikage and stayed by his side watching.
"Isn't this kid afraid of being caught in the crossfire of our battle?"
"Or is he confident enough to avoid being affected?"
Tsunade frowned.
Tsunade ignored the Fourth Raikage waiting outside.
Instead, he stood up and swayed as he walked towards Ye Yu.
Yoru felt it too.
Yoru was speechless; he didn't want to get to know Tsunade right now.
Yoru was only staying behind to watch over Tsunade and Shizune because he was worried they might be in danger.
If Shizune hadn't fallen asleep, Yoru might have left.
Although Shizune's talent is not as good as Sakura's, her strength is definitely at the level of a Jonin.
She is capable of protecting Tsunade if she is not drunk.
But Jingyin got drunk and even fell asleep; she hasn't woken up yet.
Yoru had no choice but to stay.
But Tsunade walked towards him.
Helpless, Ye Yu could only put away his notebook and prepare to pay the bill and leave.
He had barely stood up when Tsunade pressed down on his shoulder.
He was pushed back into his position.
The strong smell of alcohol emanating from Tsunade was something Yoru disliked.
Whether in her past life or this one, Ye Yu has never had the habit of drinking alcohol.
They even dislike the smell of alcohol.
At this moment, Tsunade was completely drunk, looking as if she had just come out of a vat of sake.
Tsunade leaned down and placed one hand on Yoru's shoulder.
Her beautiful eyes were fixed on Ye Yu.
"Kid, why didn't you leave earlier?"
Ye Yu turned her head away; if she continued to smell the alcohol, she felt like she was going to get drunk.
Tsunade was really drunk; her voice was somewhat slurred.
His eyes were glazed over, and he looked exactly like a drunkard.
Ye Yu didn't know how to answer this question.
Even at such close range, Tsunade's voluptuous figure was indeed very attractive.
But Ye Yu kept reminding himself that this person was already over fifty years old.
So even though the perfect woman in front of him was incredibly alluring in her drunken state, Ye Yu had no other thoughts.
He was thinking about how to answer Tsunade's question.
After much thought, Yoru chose to answer truthfully, "I think you and that woman are in danger. As fellow Konoha ninjas, I can't pretend I don't see it."
Tsunade was stunned.
He stared blankly at Ye Yu for a long time before laughing, "Hehehe, kid, do you know who that person is?"
Tsunade found it amusing that Yoru actually wanted to protect them.
In Tsunade's opinion, Yoru was overestimating himself.
No matter how talented Yoru is, he is facing the Fourth Raikage and one of the Legendary Sannin.
Even elite Jonin wouldn't dare to get involved in their battle.
Yoru actually said he would protect them?
Although she felt that Yoru was overestimating himself, Tsunade was still moved by Yoru.
After all, Tsunade could sense that Yoru was sincere when he said those words.
Actually, Yoru didn't want to get involved in Tsunade's affairs, but the opponent was the Fourth Raikage, which was too dangerous, and Yoru couldn't just ignore it.
Not to mention that Tsunade was completely drunk, so it was impossible to know how much fighting power she could still have.
So even if Ye Yu didn't want to meddle, he had no choice but to get involved.
Yoru raised his head and looked directly into Tsunade's eyes with a calm expression. "I know, the Fourth Raikage."
Tsunade stared blankly at Yoru's calm and unwavering gaze for a moment.
"That's the Raikage, what can you possibly do to him?"
Tsunade's tone was no longer sarcastic; instead, it was quite serious.
Yoru said calmly, "I know he is the Raikage, but I can't pretend I don't see him."
Ye Yu spoke very seriously.
Tsunade stared blankly at Yoru for a long time.
This made Ye Yu a little uneasy.
He thought Tsunade would scold him.
If he tries to help Tsunade and she scolds him, then he really doesn't want to get involved anymore.
After a long while, Tsunade smiled and said, "It's good that you have this intention. What's your name?"
Yoru was somewhat surprised that Tsunade hadn't called him overconfident.
"Jingwen Yeyu".
Tsunade nodded and stood up.
It seemed that her figure was making her feel tired.
Tsunade crossed her arms, looked down at Yoru, and smiled, "Kyowen Yoru, what level of ninja are you now?"
Yoru thought for a moment and said, "Chunin."
Tsunade sat down opposite Yoru and continued, "Did you come out on this mission alone?"
Ye Yu nodded. "Yes, it's my first time."
Tsunade was somewhat surprised. "First time?"
Ye Yu nodded.
"At your age, you must have just graduated from the Ninja Academy not long ago, right?"
"Tsunade asked."
Yoru nodded again. "I'm a newly promoted Chunin, and this is my first time carrying out a mission alone."
Tsunade frowned. "You just became a Chunin, and that old man, the Third Hokage, already sent you on a mission alone? That's too reckless."
Tsunade was very unhappy. She felt that the Third Hokage's arrangement was too harsh, as Konoha Village was not in such dire straits.
Yoru had only just been promoted to Chunin, yet they sent him out on a mission alone.
Ye Yu didn't seem to care.
Seeing Yoru's calm expression, Tsunade became very curious about him.
After all, a child of Ye Yu's age would certainly not be able to remain as calm as Ye Yu when facing someone of her status and in this kind of situation.
"What can you do by staying here? If you're someone even I can't defeat, wouldn't you just be a burden to me?"
After Tsunade finished speaking, she thought Yoru would put on a brave face, just like her younger brother.
But Ye Yu simply said, "It's precisely because I know that staying here won't be a burden to you that I'm staying here. I won't do anything I'm not sure I can do."
Ye Yu spoke calmly, but his words were far-fetched.
They were even a bit arrogant, especially in front of a strong person like Tsunade.
Tsunade frowned as expected; she felt that Yoru was far too arrogant.
"Kid, what makes you think that? Do you really think you can get involved in the battle between the Sannin and the Raikage?"
Yoru glanced at Tsunade and said calmly, "I never intended to get involved; I just don't want to be a burden to you."
"If you weren't from Konoha, I wouldn't want to meddle in other people's business. But since you are, I can't just sit idly by."
"It's not a question of whether I can participate in your battle, but rather that I cannot not participate."
Tsunade was stunned.
There was absolutely no way to refute Yoru's words.
Even Ye Yu's words made what she had just said seem like a joke.
Ye Yu's thoughts were completely different from hers, and they weren't even on the same level.
Tsunade frowned, somewhat displeased. After all, it was too embarrassing to be spoken to like that by her junior, Yoru.
After finishing her drink, Tsunade slammed her hand on the table and stood up. "Kid, go do your mission. My business is none of your concern, and you have no right to get involved."
After saying that, Tsunade swayed and walked over to Shizune's side.
Of course, she said that not out of anger, but simply to get Ye Yu to leave.
In her opinion, Yoru's words were just sophistry; he didn't understand the power of a Kage-level expert, so Tsunade had to drive Yoru away.
However, she underestimated Ye Yu's temper.
Although Yoru's personality isn't particularly gentle, she rarely gets angry.
He was also well aware of Tsunade's purpose in saying that.
