Chapter 40 (1/2)
[Tsunade P.O.V.]
”Why are you still hanging in the past?” asked Dan
”I can't just move on. It was all my fault. I wasn't strong enough to save any of you.”
”You shouldn't be so hard on yourself, sis. It wasn't your fault. We were just unlucky.”
”He is right. We have already died, but you still have your life in front of you. You can't stay like this forever. You need to find someone else to care about.”
”Yeah, someone like Naruto. Even if he was calling you an old hag I could see that he didn't mean anything bad by it. He was just joking to lift up your mood.”
”Like hell I'll ever care about that brat! He is just trying to bully me because he has power.”
”Nawaki was right. He looks like he cares about you. To be honest I would be really happy if you could be in his care.”
”And what if she starts liking him in a different way?” asked Nawaki
”What are you thinking about brat!”
”I wouldn't mind.”
”What!?” x2
”I'm already dead, there is no need for you to stay single your entire life.”
”I would never care about that brat.”
”As long as you move on I'm happy.” said Dan
”Yeah, as long as you're happy. Hm? Hey sis why did he call you an old hag? You don't look so old to me.”
”She is using an anti-aging jutsu so she must be much older than she looks.”
”DAN!”
”Ey calm down. It was just a joke, but I didn't think it was real.”
They started glowing.
”What is happening, sis?”
”The jutsu is probably almost over.” said Dan
”There is no need to cry Tsunade. We'll always be watching over you from above.”
”Yeah, but I'll only look after you if you move on.”
*SOB*
*SOB*
”Please don't leave.”
”I'm sorry Tsunade. I won't be able to stay by your side, but just know that I'll always love you.”
”Goodbye, sis. I'll always love you and I hope that you'll live a happy life.”
I wiped the tears from my eyes.
”Don't worry, I'll live my life to the fullest from today onward. I'll always love both of you!”
[Naruto P.O.V.]
Haku and I are running back to the village.
”Master, you really are amazing. You managed to get the best medical Shinobi who also has the strength of a Kage as a subordinate while she was really mad at you. I'm sorry for having doubted your methods before.”
”Well, what do I say, I'm just amazing like that.”
”You sure are.”
”This running is getting boring so I'll see you in the village.”
My shadow clone dissolved itself.
'It was a shadow clone the whole time! Have I even ever seen the master's real body?'
[Back in Konoha]
I'm with Shikamaru. We were cloud watching when I received the memories from my clone.
'Damn, why does Haku look good as both genders. Tsunade will come back so that is good news, but I wonder what the Akatsuki are up to. I guess they are just earning money while waiting for the Three-Tails to resurrect.'
After cloud watching, I went home. I sat on my bed.
