Chapter 49 - Tsunade (1/2)
”You have no idea!” Tsunade then began to pour her grievances to Minato. For a princess like her, war can be truly hard. In Konoha, she had all she wanted, but on the battlefield, all people are the same in the face of death. ”The worst is that I can't even drink anymore without hiding! How do they expect me to live without my sake” Complained Tsunade
”Hm, for a medic-nin of your level, flushing the alcohol out of your system should be pretty easy, but if they allow you and not the others, it will raise complaints and bring down the moral” Replied Minato
”It's their own fault if they can't do it, why should I suffer because of their incompetence” Rebuked Tsunade with annoyance. As he said, she could very well pass from a drunk state to sobriety in a second. It's true that a second is dangerous on the battlefield, but here inside the base, the enemy can't possibly reach her in such a short period of time.
”And my stubborn teacher didn't accept my idea of having at least a medic-nin in a 4-man cell, it could have saved so many lives!” Even if the war was still at the level of some skirmishes, the number of death that she saw already marked her.
”Hm” Making a thinking pose, Minato nodded ”You're right, a medic-nin should be indispensable on the battlefield. It could not only save lives but also change the tides of war, one life saved means one more shinobi in our camp, and the number can increase fast”
Hearing that, Tsunade's eyes lit up ”Finally somebody agrees with me! It's a pity that you're too young. If you were older, with your help, I would have maybe a chance to change teacher mind about it”
”I will still try to convince him the next time I go back to Konoha. Even if I have only a fraction of a percent of chance to persuade him, it cost me nothing” 'And it will be killing two Kakuzu's hearts in one Rasenshuriken, not only will I improve my image in front of the Hokage, Tsunade will have a better impression of me too. It's not like I care about Konoha shinobi dying'
Hearing that, Tsunade smirked ”Eh, if you were older, I believe that I could have fallen for you”
”Is age that important? If you were to wait for me to grow up a bit, I won't mind going out with you” Smoothly replied back Minato
Tsunade laughed, talking to this kid is really refreshing. Seeing him inspecting her, she raised an eyebrow in curiosity ”Like what you see?”
”Yes, this light grey shinobi armor suit you well. It gives you an air of a heroic beauty, ready to take on the world”
”Ah, at least you know how to compliment people. Your teacher should learn from you! If it was Jiraya, he would have only said some things about my brėȧsts” Just thinking of Jiraya made her head hurts. She didn't dislike him per se, but he is so perverted that it can be considered a disease.
”By the way, how is Nawaki? He should graduate this year, no?” asked Minato
