ALL NOVEL Chapter 45: Come In
Nawaki's face was full of confusion. He had no idea what kind of plan Araki had in mind. They had just left Lady Tsunade's place, and now they were supposed to meet her again in the evening. The frequency seemed too fast!
Most importantly...
He was being dragged along!
Nawaki really didn't want to become a medical ninja. From his inherent impression, he believed that to become a Hokage, one must have the ability to conquer the world. It required immense strength, not just gentle medical skills.
Otherwise, he would have agreed to his sister's requests long ago.
His sister had asked him to learn medical ninjutsu more than once, but he had refused.
And now, Araki wanted him to learn medical ninjutsu together.
"No way!"
"I won't go!"
"I won't learn medical ninjutsu!"
"I won't go with you!"
Nawaki shook his head repeatedly. He vaguely felt that there was something wrong here. Araki had been acting strange since they arrived at the shop, but Nawaki couldn't pinpoint the exact reason.
"You... must... go..."
Araki stuttered with an undeniable determination in his tone. His current task was to bring Nawaki back to Tsunade's side and then follow his planned strategy.
If this attempt failed to change history, Araki wouldn't carry a heavy psychological burden. After all, he had done everything he was supposed to do.
"I won't go!"
Nawaki stubbornly declared. At this moment, their conversation and the expressions they showed truly resembled two children.
At the age of twelve, Nawaki, despite being relatively mature in the ninja world's environment, was still in his childish phase, not yet fully grown up.
...
The setting sun cast its golden rays, painting the evening sky with vibrant colors.
Araki and Nawaki had been sitting in the Ichiraku Ramen Shop for most of the afternoon, locked in a stalemate. Neither of them was willing to back down.
"Nawaki... Do you really... consider me... a friend?" Araki's expression suddenly turned serious as the time approached. Throughout the long afternoon, they had pulled and pushed each other countless times.
It was time to bring it to an end!
In truth, Araki wasn't entirely doing this for Nawaki's sake alone. He had his own ulterior motives as well. Regardless of what accomplishments Nawaki would achieve if he survived, even simply fostering a good relationship with Tsunade and Nawaki, as siblings, would be a tremendous network and advantage for Araki.
"Of course!" Nawaki answered resolutely. At his age, filled with youthful spirit, making friends didn't come with the same worldly restrictions. If they felt a compatible aura with each other, it was easy to collaborate and get along.
"You're a very close friend to me!" Nawaki declared, patting his chest. The feeling was like expressing his heartfelt emotions, and his eyes showed unwavering conviction.
"Well... Then... Let's stop wasting time!" Araki said firmly. He knew that being soft wouldn't work, so he had to be forceful. Nawaki seemed warm and sunny on the surface, but deep down, he had a stubborn streak, somewhat similar to Tsunade's personality.
Sometimes, the more one tried to persuade, the less effective it became. Instead, being straightforward and assertive had more impact!
However...
This kind of assertiveness couldn't be displayed right from the start. Araki had spent the entire afternoon laying the groundwork to reach a point where he felt their relationship could withstand his strong words. Only then did he speak in this manner.
"Uh..." Nawaki was stunned. He stared at Araki blankly, not expecting this seemingly easygoing little brother to suddenly burst with such determination.
After a moment, Nawaki couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Alright."
Nawaki agreed, and he faintly felt that Araki's words just now had staked their friendship on the line.
Could it be that Araki truly had something important?
For a moment, Nawaki couldn't figure it out.
But his curiosity grew stronger.
"Take me to meet Lady Tsunade!"
Araki suddenly stood up. His voice was calm and without hesitation as he spoke this sentence.
"Okay..." Nawaki was once again taken aback, his gaze toward Araki undergoing some changes. Araki seemed like a different person, completely different from his previous aura, even his speech flowed smoothly now, without any stuttering.
Nawaki's feeling grew increasingly strange, sensing that Araki was quite mysterious. Now, he didn't know how to express it and could only continue walking with Araki.
The two of them left the Ichiraku Ramen Shop and headed towards the central area of Konoha Village.
Before long, Nawaki led Araki to the doorstep of Tsunade's residence.
Knock, knock, knock...
Nawaki immediately knocked on the door.
"Sis, open up, it's me."
Before the person inside could ask any questions, Nawaki took the initiative to identify himself, clearly indicating their specific way of communicating.
Creak...
Within a few breaths, Tsunade's door opened, and a graceful figure stood confidently before Nawaki and Araki.
At this moment, Tsunade had changed into her casual attire.
She wore a yellow crop top that barely reached her belly button, paired with tight white shorts that showcased her impressive figure.
"This..." Araki's eyes widened in astonishment in that instant. After quickly scanning through the depths of those alluring curves, his gaze settled on her captivating pair of eyes.
It was evident...
She was completely braless!
Araki never expected to encounter such a sight, causing him to freeze at the doorway, momentarily unable to react.
"Do you have something to discuss with me?" Tsunade glanced wearily at Nawaki. After a day of interviews, she was exhausted and had just prepared to rest.
Then, she noticed Araki standing beside Nawaki.
"Oh, Araki, you're here too!" Tsunade's tired expression immediately transformed into one of vitality, and she opened up the doorway to let them in.
"Come inside."
Tsunade walked directly into the house, her shapely silhouette exuding a strong feminine charm.
Only at this moment did Araki realize that although Tsunade didn't have the same mature charm as she did in the anime, she was still in her prime, being in her twenties.
Her straight, fair, and firm legs.
Her rounded and enticing buttocks swaying with each step.
They were incredibly attention-grabbing.
*Gulp...*
Araki couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He had been in the ninja world for three years, completely immersed in non-stop training day and night, rarely encountering any women. The ones he interacted with the most were adorable girls like Kushina. But she was only eight years old, after all.
So when he saw Tsunade, especially in this rare and captivating moment, an indescribable wave of excitement surged within him.
