"Hey, Itsuki-kun, what are you muttering about?"
Tsunade suddenly popped out from somewhere, startling Itsuki, who was thinking about how to scam Tsunade for money.
"No, nothing. I'm definitely not thinking about you."
Itsuki waved his hands repeatedly, his face flushing involuntarily. He was a man who had lived two lives, yet he was thinking about scamming a little girl for money, it was too embarrassing…
Explanations are just cover-ups, cover-ups are the truth!
Tsunade couldn't help but widen her eyes, thinking to herself: Could it be that Itsuki-kun was thinking about me early in the morning?
Perfect deduction, Itsuki's mind was indeed full of Tsunade. But poor Tsunade had no idea that Itsuki was thinking about her only for her money!
But no matter what, Tsunade had already made up her mind.
This guy Itsuki definitely likes her!
But, her feelings for Itsuki: He's a really interesting person. He's a peasant, but he's not afraid of those kids from big clans at all, and he even taught her how to play a really fun dice game. He's also very strong, he took down Hyuga Hizashi from the Hyuga clan with one move.
As for his looks…
Tsunade couldn't help but sneak a peek at Itsuki.
The dawn, the first ray of pale golden sunlight, fell just right, illuminating Itsuki's handsome profile, making it especially dazzling. His brows were slightly furrowed, Itsuki's light blue eyes seemed as deep as the ocean as he looked into the distance, revealing a mature charm that didn't quite match his age.
He's pretty handsome!
Tsunade nodded shyly, but she was soon drawn to Itsuki's furrowed brows.
What's he thinking about? Is he thinking about me? No, that expression, he must be thinking about something important! That's right, a man like him must be thinking about something profound. The meaning of a ninja's existence, or the future of the Five Great Nations, or maybe the direction of this war?
It must be said, Tsunade had completely fallen in love…
Because, Itsuki wasn't thinking about the meaning of a ninja's existence at all. He didn't care about the future of the Five Great Nations either.
As for the direction of the war, as long as the situation hadn't deteriorated to the point where a two-year-old baby had to go to war, Itsuki didn't care at all.
"Money, where the heck am I going to get money?"
Itsuki turned to look at Tsunade, whose face was flushed, and couldn't help but shake his head: Forget it, it's too much to keep picking on one person.
"Itsuki-kun is secretly looking at me…"
Tsunade's face flushed even redder.
Seeing this, Itsuki couldn't help but reach out and touch Tsunade's forehead. "Tsunade, are you alright? Do you have a fever?"
Tsunade was the only rich kid Itsuki knew. If Tsunade got sick too, he would have no way out…
"Hmm, I'm fine."
Tsunade tightly clutched the hem of her clothes, her heart filled with joy. "Itsuki-kun is so kind, he really cares about me, doesn't he?"
The misunderstanding deepened…
But this scene was also seen by the students passing by.
"Look, isn't that Tsunade-hime and Itsuki?" "They're so close!" "No wonder Itsuki can get into school, he's a kept man."
The whispers of the little brats couldn't be concealed. Itsuki didn't care, he just cursed in his heart: These little brats, they're so precocious, the world is going downhill, people's hearts are not what they used to be!
But Tsunade clenched her fists, her fierce gaze could almost eat people. If those little brats hadn't run away in time, Tsunade might have invented a new dojutsu that could kill people.
"Itsuki-kun, don't mind them, I know you're not a kept man."
Tsunade worriedly grabbed Itsuki's hands and comforted him. "I believe in you!"
You have to learn to protect a man's fragile self-esteem, only then can you be a good wife. Tsunade clearly remembered her mother saying this.
"Hmm?"
Itsuki was stunned. Was that the key issue? Also, is Tsunade this gentle?
Although he felt a little strange, he quickly gave himself a perfect explanation. The manga also said that Tsunade was originally very gentle, but after Dan died, she pretended to be strong…
"Yeah, that must be it."
Itsuki looked encouragingly at Tsunade and nodded secretly. "Girl, you'll become fierce again after your dead man!"
Go for it, Tsunade!
"He feels my love!"
Tsunade and Itsuki's eyes met in the air, they reached a consensus through their miscommunication!
