Ryun led Tsunade out of that dark, damp prison. Sunlight poured down, illuminating the path ahead of them.
The two walked side by side on the bustling street. The surrounding noise and the clamor of the crowd did not affect their conversation.
As they walked, Tsunade, as if remembering something, suddenly asked, "Ryun, how do you know that Kakuzu's personality so well?" Her beautiful eyes showed a trace of curiosity and doubt.
Hearing this question, Ryun was slightly stunned at first, then a faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he replied, "This is naturally thanks to the black market! Ever since I found out he took the bounty to capture me, I immediately sent people to the black market to collect all information about Kakuzu." His tone was calm and confident, as if everything was under his control.
Then, Ryun paused slightly before continuing, "After some investigation, I found that Kakuzu is not only an out-and-out money fanatic, but also particularly skilled at making money. Such a rare talent would be a huge loss for us if we couldn't make use of him, right?" After saying this, a shrewd glint flashed in his eyes.
After hearing this, Tsunade nodded thoughtfully and whispered, "Oh, I see!" She secretly admired Ryun's foresight.
And so, Ryun continued walking forward along the street, while Tsunade playfully stepped on his shadow, following his rhythm.
At this moment, her heart was filled with joy. She thought Ryun was so omniscient and omnipotent, truly amazing!
However, just then, Ryun stopped without any warning, calling out softly, "Tsunade."
It was so sudden that Tsunade had no time to react. With an "Aiyo," her forehead bumped hard into Ryun's solid back.
Rubbing her aching forehead with one hand, she looked at Ryun with a reproachful gaze.
Her delicate face showed a trace of grievance. Her small, exquisite nose was slightly red from the impact, and her eyes quickly welled up with a layer of moisture, glistening tears seeming ready to fall at any moment.
Her rosy little mouth pouted unconsciously, carrying a hint of嗔怒 as she complained, "Ryun, why did you stop so suddenly! My nose hurts~"
Ryun, standing to the side, scratched his head somewhat awkwardly upon seeing this, a apologetic smile appearing on his face as he said softly, "Sorry, Tsunade. I just suddenly remembered there's something I didn't do."
Hearing this, Tsunade, who was originally a bit angry, immediately became interested, curiosity flooding her heart.
She blinked her beautiful, moving big eyes and eagerly pressed, "What is it? Ryun." Her words revealed the liveliness and playfulness unique to a young girl.
Then, Ryun slowly walked towards Tsunade. When he was only inches away from her, he suddenly stretched out an arm and propped it against the wall, pinning Tsunade against it.
Tsunade's face instantly turned bright red, her heart pounding. She probably guessed what Ryun intended to do next.
The atmosphere was exceptionally ambiguous at this moment, as if time had frozen.
Then Ryun pressed his lips against Tsunade's red lips!
Tsunade's eyes widened in shock. She hadn't expected Ryun to be so bold as to kiss her like this right on the street!
She let out a muffled groan at first, then her teeth were pried open by Ryun. The two kissed forgetfully like this.
After a while, Ryun licked his lips and said with a smile, "I remembered, I haven't kissed you today! My fiancée!"
Tsunade's legs felt a bit weak. She gave Ryun an annoyed look. "There are so many people here! Aren't you afraid of being seen!"
Ryun just smiled, wrapped his arm around Tsunade's waist. Tsunade didn't resist, and the two walked towards home.
Senju Clan Compound
Senju Hashirama knelt on the washboard, feeling somewhat wronged. Why was only he being punished, and not Madara? Didn't they both make mistakes at the same time?
Uzumaki Mito narrowed her eyes. "Hashirama, are you complaining about me?" After saying this, she slowly stood up and walked towards Hashirama.
Hashirama was stunned and quickly shook his head. "How would I dare! Mito, you know me, I don't lie!"
Uzumaki Mito chuckled dismissively. Hashirama was still as easy to tease as before. Just then, she suddenly sensed Ryun and Tsunade arriving outside the door.
She hurriedly said, "Hurry up and get up!" After saying this, she pushed the door open and went out to prepare to welcome her granddaughter and future grandson-in-law!
Hashirama nodded. He slowly stood up and followed out.
Uzumaki Mito reached the compound entrance first. She saw that the corners of Tsunade's mouth were somewhat flushed and moist. As someone who had been through it herself, she understood what had happened. She smiled. "You two are back~ Come inside quickly!"
Hashirama also walked out from the yard. "Oh~ It's Ryun! Come in and sit for a while!"
Ryun, however, shook his head. He looked at Mito and said with a smile, "Grandma, I have some things to do next, so I'm bringing Tsunade back first!"
Uzumaki Mito expressed understanding. Holding Tsunade's arm, she said with a smile, "Don't worry, go ahead with your work. I'll keep an eye on her for you here!"
"Grandma! How can you help an outsider!" Tsunade pouted. This isn't fair!
"What do you mean help an outsider? You two are getting married in less than a month. After that, we'll all be family!" Uzumaki Mito said with feigned annoyance.
Tsunade's face turned red. She didn't refute Mito's words, just pouted there, then looked at Ryun with concern.
"Be careful!" Tsunade suddenly said.
Ryun smiled, then nodded! He looked at Uzumaki Mito. "Grandma, you must have heard about my great-grandfather's physical functions returning to their peak. Before I leave, I'll do the same for you!"
After saying this, Ryun activated his Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. The eternal life effect was applied to Uzumaki Mito. Mito only felt her body lighten. Her face, which had originally had slight wrinkles, now became smooth and fair.
She opened her eyes and looked at Ryun, smiling. "Thank you, little Ryun~"
Ryun waved his hand. "It's only right, Grandma. Goodbye!"
"Mm, be careful on the road." Uzumaki Mito said with concern.
"Yeah, if you can't win, you can call me!" Hashirama said with a laugh.
Ryun turned around, waved his hand, and walked towards the village entrance.
Just moments ago, he had received news that Iwagakure wanted to ransom Rōshi and had already brought the money to the entrance of Konoha Village.
Ryun used the Flying Thunder God Technique. First, he went to the prison to bring Rōshi out, then proceeded to the entrance of Konoha Village.
He heard that Ōnoki himself had come this time! Therefore, Ryun had to show up to show respect!
Village Entrance
Ōnoki flew in the air, arms crossed, looking down at the Konoha shinobi.
