At night, in Kawaki's room in the Hatake family.
On the large solid - wood tatami, a man and a woman were sleeping, entangled with each other like an octopus's tentacles.
The snores rose and fell one after another. The aroma is truly unbeatable!
Tsunade was lying with her back to Kawaki. Her green windbreaker was strewn on the ground, and she was only wearing a short inner - lining on her upper body.
Kawaki's big hand was holding something plump and soft, and there was an evil smile on his face. His mouth twitched, as if he was having a wonderful dream.
Tsunade was sleeping like a lazy cat. Without experiencing the deaths of two important people yet, she was carefree at the moment.
She pressed her thigh against Kawaki's, and nestled in his arms.
As time passed, maybe she felt a bit hot, so Tsunade wriggled her body. This small movement woke up Kawaki who was still in his dream.
The touch in his hand was very soft. Was he hugging the Ghost Mastiff again?
Next time when he got drunk, he had to drive it far off. What kind of thing was it to sleep with a dog in his arms all the time.
Without opening his eyes, Kawaki had this boring thought flash through his mind, and he pinched twice more with his hand.
Something seemed wrong. The fur of the Ghost Mastiff didn't feel like this.
As soon as Kawaki opened his eyes, what came into view were the light - yellow twin ponytails.
He suddenly woke up. Damn it, did his dream come true?
Involuntarily, he increased the pressure with his hand. Tsunade also slowly woke up. Something was poking her from behind, which was very uncomfortable.
She involuntarily reached out her hand. What kind of strange weapon was this?
Kawaki's face suddenly changed and turned as red as a liver.
Tsunade's memory still stayed at the time when she drank with Kawaki, and then they put their arms around each other's shoulders and returned to the room.
After getting back to the room, they fell onto the bed.
Thinking of this, Tsunade lost all her drowsiness. Like a frightened mouse, she sprang up from Kawaki's arms.
She stood on the ground. The whole set of actions was performed smoothly, perfectly showing her strength as a Jonin.
At this moment, Kawaki was looking at Tsunade blankly. Her face instantly turned red all the way to the back of her ears.
Now he knew exactly what he had been holding.
"Um, we're innocent."
Kawaki didn't know what to say for a moment, and what he said was like a bombshell.
Only then did Tsunade look at herself and found that only her outer - coat had fallen off. Presumably, they just got drunk and lay on the same bed.
It wasn't a big deal? Bah, this was the first time she'd ever slept with a man, and she was even held in his arms. Her breasts were probably pinched until they were swollen.
"Kawaki - kun, we're innocent?"
Tsunade was also a bit at a loss, and then followed up with a question.
"I'll take responsibility."
Kawaki quickly got up, showing that he wasn't a scumbag.
"Cough, cough."
Tsunade was so shocked that she choked on her own breath.
"Kawaki - kun, I didn't mean that."
"Where are Nawaki and Kushina?"
Tsunade didn't want to haggle over this matter. Even if you're handsome, I, Tsunade, won't just say yes to you so easily.
Changing the topic solved the awkwardness between the two. Fortunately, no one came to Kawaki's room, and presumably no one had seen them.
"I don't know either. Let's go out and have a look."
Looking outside, it was already late at night, and the dinner time had long passed.
Tsunade picked up the clothes on the ground, put them on, and wrapped herself tightly.
Kawaki also got up and went out with Tsunade. When they reached the living room, they saw the butler.
"Did you see the two kids who came today?"
Kawaki asked in a kind tone. After all, having received nine - year compulsory education, he knew how to show respect for others.
"Second young master, Young Master Nawaki and Miss Kushina have been sent back."
"You were drunk. I told Lady Tsunade that a room had been arranged for her to rest."
"They didn't think much of it and sent the family warriors to take Nawaki and Kushina back."
"Absolutely no one knows that you were resting together."
As the butler said this, he winked at Kawaki suggestively. With his moustache, he looked really sleazy.
I have to say this butler really knew how to handle things. He did a great job. Kawaki couldn't help mentally giving him a thumbs - up.
No wonder he could be the butler.
"What do you mean we were resting together? You're wrong."
Kawaki jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on and quickly corrected the butler's wrong statement.
"Yes, yes, it was my mistake, sir."
The butler was very sensible and lowered his head to admit his mistake.
Tsunade rolled her eyes as she watched the master and servant acting like they were in a comedy skit. 'My innocence!' she thought.
She had forgotten her drunken actions. Little did she know that in Sakumo and Natsuki's eyes, she had long lost her innocence.
"Well, Kawaki - kun, I'll go back now."
Tsunade's mind was in a mess and she didn't want to stay here any longer, so she interrupted the conversation between Kawaki and the butler.
"Ah, it's so late. How about having something to eat before you leave?"
Kawaki meant well. Eating something after drinking would make one feel better, and he could also arrange some yogurt.
"No, thanks. I'm worried about Nawaki."
Tsunade used her younger brother as an excuse to decline Kawaki's kind offer.
"Okay, then I'll see you off."
Kawaki led Tsunade through the martial arts training hall and out of the Hatake family's main gate, then waved goodbye to her.
"Kawaki - kun, I'm going back."
Tsunade looked into Kawaki's eyes, and her face began to turn red again.
After saying that, she turned around and left. Tsunade had really lost to the soy - sauce flavor today. She'd have a rematch when she got the chance.
Kawaki remained silent, watching Tsunade walking farther and farther away in the moonlight. Soon she was about to turn a corner and vanish from his sight.
"I'll take responsibility, Tsunade - chan."
He didn't know if Tsunade had heard him. He only saw Tsunade vanish in a flash.
Then he raised his right hand and sniffed it.
This woman really had a strong - smelling volatile smell. His hand was full of the soy - sauce smell.
Kawaki almost threw up. He waved his hand in disgust and headed home.
After a refreshing wash, he headed to the dining room and ran into Sakumo, who was sober.
Maybe they were both a bit embarrassed. Sakumo gave his younger brother a faint smile and sat at the dining table, drinking yogurt.
There was already some food on the table, but Natsuki was nowhere to be found.
Kawaki sat down next to Sakumo and also started drinking yogurt.
"Kawaki, do you have some feelings for Tsunade...?"
Sakumo licked the yogurt off his lips and asked the question that had been bothering him.
He'd sensed something was off about his younger brother at the dinner table. Tsunade's behavior confirmed his suspicion. He was almost shocked to drop his jaw.
It had only been a few days since they got to know each other, yet he felt as if he had aged and couldn't keep up with the times.
You know, he, this introvert, had spent several years wooing Natsuki before finally winning her heart.
"Yeah, that's right. Tsunade is the sister - in - law I've chosen for you."
"How about it? Isn't she stunning? We are a perfect match."
Kawaki didn't try to hide it at all. Anyway, what could Aniki do if he disagreed?
Aniki couldn't beat him, and both he and his wife were bad at managing money. It's no exaggeration to say that the Hatake family would fall apart without him.
"Yeah, they're a great match."
Sakumo opened his mouth, and all his words boiled down to two words. As long as his brother was happy.
These two oddballs were indeed a good match. One was good at causing trouble, and the other was even better at it.
Kawaki was really happy to get Aniki's approval. After all, a marriage blessed by family was a happy one.
He even smiled and clinked glasses of yogurt with Aniki to celebrate.
The two had a hasty dinner and went back to their rooms respectively. Another day had passed.
