The next day.
Outside the gates of Konoha Village.
Tsunade, holding Shizune's hand, looked at Orochimaru, Jiraiya, and Hiruzen Sarutobi standing at the gate.
One could say that for a long time in the past, Tsunade had spent a great deal of time with them. However, now it was finally time for them to part ways.
"Tsunade, if you get tired outside, or miss home, Konoha will always welcome you back." Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Tsunade and said softly.
As his disciple, Tsunade's departure also made Hiruzen Sarutobi very reluctant.
But this matter had been decided long ago. Regrettably, Tianyuan also did not make Tsunade stay, which was a regret in Hiruzen Sarutobi's heart.
"Don't worry, old man," Tsunade said with a smile.
"Tsunade, come back when you have time," Jiraiya said.
"I will, Jiraiya," Tsunade nodded with a smile.
"And Orochimaru, you seem to have become increasingly gloomy these past few years. Spend more time with your disciple, Tianyuan, it might help you," Tsunade said, looking at Orochimaru.
These words made Orochimaru pause slightly, then he forced out a faint smile. "I understand. Tianyuan is a disciple I'm very proud of."
After these days of recovery, Orochimaru had not only recovered a bit mentally, but also suppressed the matter of Tianyuan deep in his heart.
Orochimaru would not easily reveal his true intentions regarding Tianyuan.
So Tsunade couldn't discern anything.
"Alright then, everyone, I'm off. No need to see me out." Tsunade waved, then took Shizune's hand and left.
Watching Tsunade and Shizune's retreating figures, Hiruzen Sarutobi and Jiraiya looked very reluctant.
"I didn't expect Tsunade to leave after all," Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, looking at Tsunade's retreating back. "By the way, where's Tianyuan? Why didn't he come to say goodbye to Tsunade and the others?"
Hiruzen Sarutobi knew that Tsunade and Tianyuan had a good relationship. Otherwise, Hiruzen Sarutobi wouldn't have let Tianyuan spend more time with Tsunade earlier, to see if he could make Tsunade stay.
"I don't know. I don't know where Tianyuan went," Jiraiya shook his head. "Orochimaru, do you know?"
"I don't know either," Orochimaru said flatly.
"Alright, let's go back," Hiruzen Sarutobi sighed, looking at the vanished Tsunade and Shizune.
Hiruzen Sarutobi was not concerned about Tsunade's situation outside.
There were very few ninja in the ninja world who could defeat Tsunade. Most of them were core personnel of the great ninja nations, and it was impossible for them to target Tsunade.
...
"What's wrong, Shizune? Are you missing Tianyuan?" Tsunade chuckled.
"Not at all, Lady Tsunade! It's just that Tianyuan didn't come to see us off today. I specifically told him yesterday," Shizune quickly said.
Yesterday, she had specifically told Tianyuan about their departure, but she hadn't expected Tianyuan not to come see them off today.
"Yeah, that Tianyuan, he didn't come to see us off. Next time I see him, I'm going to beat him up," Tsunade recalled having mentioned this last night too.
"Lady Tsunade, Tianyuan must have something important," Shizune said repeatedly.
Shizune knew how terrifying Tsunade's monstrous strength was, fearing that Tianyuan would be harmed.
"Haha, Shizune, don't worry. Tianyuan is very strong." Tsunade thought of her confrontations with Tianyuan a few days ago.
In Tsunade's estimation, Tianyuan's current strength was not just Chunin, but Jounin level.
And among Jounin, he was also an elite. She didn't know how Tianyuan, at such a young age, had cultivated such powerful taijutsu.
That Konoha genius Kakashi, although his graduation from the ninja academy and becoming a Chunin took much less time than Tianyuan, Tsunade believed that Tianyuan would become a Jounin even faster.
Since graduating from the ninja academy, Tianyuan's strength (bfbb) had been exploding.
"Is someone talking bad about me?" A familiar voice reached Tsunade's and Shizune's ears. Looking up, a boy's figure leaned against a large tree, smiling at the two.
"Tianyuan."
"Tianyuan, you pervert."
Shizune and Tsunade both called out.
"Lady Tsunade, how can you say that in front of Shizune? I'm very pure," Tianyuan said with a chuckle.
"That's right, Lady Tsunade, those few times with Tianyuan were accidents," Shizune also quickly said.
"Alright, Shizune, I know," Tsunade said grumpily. Shizune, around Tianyuan, was as pure as a little lamb.
"But Tianyuan, are you here to see us off?" Tsunade looked at Tianyuan.
"Of course, I'm here to see you off. Also, I made some dry rations and bento. I carefully prepared them last night. They're for you too." Tianyuan held a package containing some delicious food he had made last night using his Food Battle capabilities.
"You can also make gourmet food? You won't poison anyone, will you?" Tsunade asked suspiciously.
"If you don't want to eat, I can take it back," Tianyuan said.
"Then let's try it first. It's almost noon anyway," Tsunade said, taking two bento boxes from Tianyuan's package. "Here, Shizune, this is for you."
"Tianyuan, what about yours?" Shizune asked.
"I've eaten," Tianyuan replied.
"Let me try first." Tsunade opened a bento. She could see that the ingredients were handled exquisitely. "Did you get this from some restaurant?"
Even Tsunade couldn't prepare food with such exquisite refinement.
She picked up some food and put it in her mouth, chewing. An endless array of delicious flavors exploded on her taste buds.
Tsunade felt as if she had entered a culinary heaven. The deliciousness of the meat, the seaweed, the vegetablesāevery flavor diffused in her mouth.
"So delicious." Tsunade and Shizune ate the food in their hands, their faces flushed.
They had never eaten anything so delicious before.
A moment later.
Tsunade's face was rosy, and her autumn eyes rolled mischievously. "Tianyuan, thinking that I won't be able to eat such delicious food from you, I almost don't want to leave Konoha."
"Alright, thank you, Tianyuan." Tsunade pulled Shizune, who also had a happy expression.
"Tsunade, Shizune, we will meet again. I look forward to that day." Tianyuan smiled.
"You're not calling me Tsunade-sensei anymore, you little pervert," Tsunade said with a chuckle.
"Goodbye."
