"Hiss..."
Tsunade felt like she had slept for a very long time.
Just opening her eyes, her consciousness was still groggy, seemingly unaware of why she was sleeping here or what had happened before she fell asleep.
The next second, a needle-pricking pain came from her head, making Tsunade suck in a breath of cold air.
That feeling was quite intense, like when blood rushes back after sitting on one's legs for too long.
Fortunately, this feeling came quickly and left quickly.
When the sharp pain disappeared, Tsunade finally recalled the scene before she fainted.
Emptying the secret room, Katsuyu-sama's warning, the Salamander bursting out of the ground, the poison entering her body, Hanzo the Salamander's killing move, and the scene of Gojo Yoru appearing in the poison smoke, disregarding the danger of inhaling the Salamander's poison to take her away... flashed in Tsunade's mind like a slideshow.
"Gojo brat..."
Tsunade sat up abruptly, shouting with worry, creating echoes in the cave.
Then...
She met a pair of eyes as wide as bells.
It was already dark, and heavy rain was pouring outside. After recovering to full health, Gojo Yoru teleported to the Land of Fire, picked up some dry wood, and made a fire.
The burning firewood not only crackled but also cast an orange-red light in the dimly lit cave.
Worried about Tsunade catching a cold, Gojo Yoru had moved her to the innermost part of the cave. The fire was built not far from her feet, and he sat opposite her, constantly observing her condition.
Tsunade, sitting up suddenly, was face to face with Gojo Yoru, separated only by a small fire.
As mentioned before, the flak jacket was quite heavy, and the white inner shirt had a not-too-large, not-too-small hole torn by Gojo Yoru for treatment purposes.
When lying down, this hole only revealed a bit of holy light, allowing Gojo Yoru to confirm it was a Vacuum Great Sphere, not exactly a feast for the eyes.
Now that Tsunade sat up suddenly, the flak jacket draped over her slipped off instantly, and her figure, which had been flattened by lying down, instantly returned to its original state.
The two coincided perfectly. The flak jacket might have pressed or hooked onto that hole, allowing Gojo Yoru to witness exactly how the Vacuum Great Sphere, ready to burst, roared out.
This was definitely the most shocking visual impact Gojo Yoru had seen in two lifetimes.
Even he couldn't help but stare dumbfounded.
After staring blankly for several seconds, Gojo Yoru finally recovered his senses. He couldn't help but give Tsunade a thumbs-up and thanked her sincerely.
"Thanks for the treat!"
After speaking, Gojo Yoru plugged his ears with his fingers in advance.
When Tsunade also recovered her senses, she followed Gojo Yoru's gaze and looked down.
"Ah—"
A piercing scream rang out. Even with his ears plugged, Gojo Yoru still showed a painful expression on his face.
The sound of pouring rain outside seemed to have been muted, suddenly disappearing.
The mountain where the cave was located seemed to shake violently.
When the scream subsided, Tsunade, still a maiden who had never even been in a relationship, crossed her arms and looked at Gojo Yoru with shame and anger: "You bastard, what did you do to me?"
Hearing this expected question, Gojo Yoru spread his hands helplessly: "What can I do to you at my age? Why don't you recall what you experienced before fainting, and then check your body?"
Hearing this, Tsunade calmed down a bit.
The scene before fainting resurfaced in her mind: the Salamander bursting out of the ground releasing poison gas, then the slash that almost killed her, and finally the stab blocked by Gojo Yoru with the Raijin Sword.
Tsunade, whose consciousness hadn't fully cleared yet, actually put down her hands again to check her body, giving Gojo Yoru another feast for his eyes.
The visual impact of checking with both hands was even greater than just now.
Suddenly realizing something, Tsunade paused slightly, then her cheeks flushed red from bottom to top.
But since it was her own fault, she could only turn around silently and continue checking her body.
After hiding the Vacuum Great Sphere, Tsunade found that the hole wasn't particularly large; it was purely an accident just now.
Gojo Yoru not only didn't do anything to her but also treated her.
Thinking of Gojo Yoru being younger than her brother, Tsunade silently put on the flak jacket backward, turned around, and coughed lightly, pretending to be calm: "Cough, cough... I misunderstood you."
Saying this, Tsunade averted her gaze, not daring to look at Gojo Yoru at all.
"Tsunade-sama, please apologize to me," Gojo Yoru suddenly said seriously.
"What did you say?"
Tsunade was shocked, looking at the presumptuous Gojo Yoru in disbelief.
Then, veins popped on her forehead, and a red tic mark seemed to appear near her temple.
Before she could explode, Gojo Yoru said faintly: "I risked inhaling the Salamander's poison to race against death to save you. During treatment, worried about blaspheming you, Tsunade-sama, I only carefully tore a small hole, yet I was still slandered by you. Shouldn't you apologize to me?"
"So... sorry."
Tsunade, flustered by Gojo Yoru's righteous words, apologized instinctively.
But the next second, she looked indignant: "Wait, didn't you see it just now?"
"But... didn't I say thanks for the treat?" Gojo Yoru retorted.
"Thanks my ass, go to hell!"
Tsunade couldn't hold back anymore and stood up to launch a jump punch.
Gojo Yoru seemed to have anticipated this scene. His figure appeared beside Tsunade without warning, and he patted her shoulder.
Tadpole-like curse marks immediately spread, seizing control of Tsunade's body.
Tsunade glared at Gojo Yoru angrily.
"Violent woman, throwing a tantrum when you can't win an argument."
Gojo Yoru teased, then released the Four Limb Weighting Seal and returned to his original seat.
Tsunade, unable to punch, also sat cross-legged, turning sideways with her arms crossed, sulking at Gojo Yoru.
At this moment, a poof sound reached her ears, followed by a delicious aroma.
Tsunade instinctively glanced out of the corner of her eye.
"Alright, just teasing you."
Gojo Yoru held a fragrant roasted chicken and handed it to Tsunade. The firelight reflected on his handsome face, which wore a smile: "Stingy adult, you've been unconscious for so long, eat something first."
Gulp!
Looking at the roasted chicken that seemed to have been packed not long after roasting, Tsunade's mouth uncontrollably secreted saliva. She swallowed, hesitating whether to accept Gojo Yoru's apology.
Her stomach suddenly cooperated with a grumble grumble sound. Losing all face, Tsunade finally gave up completely.
"Brat, if you play this kind of joke on me again, I'll send you to the emergency room."
Tsunade rolled her eyes at Gojo Yoru, saying the same words as Uzumaki Kushina.
Then she snatched the roasted chicken and began to devour it.
Perhaps feeling her eating manner was a bit unsightly, Tsunade paused slightly and subconsciously looked at Gojo Yoru.
When she saw Gojo Yoru resting his elbows on his knees, supporting his face with the back of his hands, looking at her with a smile...
Meeting those icy blue eyes reflecting the firelight, Tsunade's gaze inexplicably dodged again, and she hurriedly buried her head in eating the roasted chicken.
Perhaps because she was closer to the fire, or maybe the residual heat from tearing open the roasted chicken hit her face, Tsunade only felt her cheeks burning.
Vaguely, besides the sound of rain, the two seemed to hear the thump, thump of heartbeats.
