As long as Nawaki had feelings for a girl and the girl liked him back, Tsunade would proudly assure him: "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
But if that girl turned out to be from the Hyuga clan...
Tsunade's first instinct would probably be to strangle her brother.
And this wasn't even confirmed yet-it was all just Nawaki daydreaming.
Falling head over heels after just one meeting?
It sounded a bit ridiculous.
Xin didn't believe in love at first sight. To him, it was just people being attracted to someone's appearance.
They see someone pretty and get infatuated. That's not "love at first sight."
If you're attracted to someone's looks, just admit it. No need to come up with excuses.
Imagining the scene of Tsunade going berserk and beating her brother, Minato shivered, casting a sympathetic glance at Nawaki.
At the same time, he silently thanked his luck for being an only child.
If he had a sister like Tsunade, Minato figured he'd have been knocked out long ago.
"Kushina, Nawaki passed his Jōnin exam, and Xin wants to celebrate at the hotpot restaurant. When do you finish work?"
Kushina had gone to the Logistics Department with Uchiha Mikoto to find Tsunade.
"Is that today?" Tsunade asked, ruffling her slightly messy hair. She closed the file she had been working on and stretched.
"Well then, I'll take the day off. Might as well go buy him a gift."
The three women wandered around the marketplace for a while, each picking out gifts. Mikoto bought a set of ninja pouches, Kushina picked out a stylish outfit, and Tsunade-who was short on cash-finally settled on two green headbands.
Even though she wasn't fond of the color herself, she knew Nawaki was obsessed with green.
In the past, she hadn't thought much of the color. But now, she could barely stand the sight of it!
It was all Xin's fault. Somehow, even cheating had become associated with the color green, and now Tsunade couldn't even look at Konoha's standard Jōnin vest without being reminded of it.
"Nawaki, here's the gift I got you," Kushina said.
"This is from Mikoto, and this one's from Tsunade."
Receiving gifts along with the celebration made Nawaki perk up. The dazed expression he'd had earlier vanished, and soon he was back to his usual self-the loudest one in the room, grinning ear to ear and earning the most eye rolls from everyone else.
Did we misread the situation?
Xin and Minato exchanged glances, starting to think maybe they had imagined things. How could this fool Nawaki fall for someone at first sight?
