When the cherry blossoms on the cherry blossom trees are in full bloom, the breeze carries the pale pink petals everywhere. When you can see the swaying cherry blossom trees and scattered cherry blossoms from the window, it is spring.

"It's beautiful!"

Picking up a petal under the cherry blossom tree, Shirahoshi, who was dressed in a plain flower kimono, whispered. She squinted her eyes as she touched the petals of the cherry blossoms with her fingers.

"You can't see this kind of scenery in my hometown. ”

"What kind of scenery is spring in your hometown? Even though it's spring, Shizune is still wearing a black kimono. She watched as the petals of cherry blossoms fell on Shirahoshi's silver hair and then slipped down, shimmering with the luster of the spring sun, beautifully like a treasure in the world.

Shirahoshi turned his head, and his silver hair flew away.

"Spring in my hometown is very boring. ”

Shirahoshi pouted as she spoke, which provoked Shizun to gently rub her silver hair. Shizu's hand is carrying a basket of vegetables and a bottle of sake. This is what Tsunade confessed, for today's big celebration.

Speaking of which, thanks to that person in a way, Tsunade-sama has now overcome his phobia, and because of that person's restrained relationship, there is no time for gambling and drinking.

Because I wanted to beat that person up, I was also practicing secretly to restore my strength.

Get rid of that disgusting person, and everything seems to be going in a good direction.

"I'm back!" shouted Shirahoshi as he stepped through the door.

"I'm back. Yagami, who was sitting quietly in the courtyard, opened his eyes and smiled. Because of the practice of the Yin Seal, Yakamiki's alienation was slow to the point where he could ignore it, and his emotional problems were eased somewhat. However, he still insists on meditating and meditating every day to control his emotions, and a sane brain is more important than strength.

There is a strange feeling of silence for a moment, and that feeling is like home. The wife who returned from grocery shopping, the husband who was waiting in the house, and the lovely daughter. She quickly shook her head, banishing the horrific associations from her mind, but the flush on her cheeks couldn't go away for a while.

She walked through the door and walked past Yagamiki, who was sitting upright, to the kitchen, her bangs swaying on her forehead, revealing a prismatic square mark.

Three months after Yagamiki found Tsunade, she learned the Yin Seal under Tsunade's teachings. Mute's qualifications were originally not low, and the only requirement for the Yin Seal was precise chakra control. She has always been stumped by Tsunade, and she has never had time to cultivate after taking care of Tsunade, and she also feels that there is no need to cultivate under the influence of Tsunade, and they have stayed away from war and ninja life.

After a while, there was a reassuring rustling sound from the kitchen, and it was still early, and Tsunade was still asleep in his room. When she heard the news that Yagamiki was leaving, she was so excited that she couldn't do it.

"Koki, the cherry blossoms outside are beautiful. Sitting next to Yagamiki, Shirahoshi said.

"Yes," Yagamiki said with a smile. After entrusting all the chores to Mute, he never left the rented yard again. He spent all his time practicing the Yin Seal.

The reward for his efforts was the appearance of a serpentine mark on his forehead that was different from Tsunade's. The Yin Seal, which requires extremely high chakra control, was successfully cultivated by him three days ago.

"Yes. "Shirahoshi nods" The row of cherry blossom trees planted on both sides of the road of the gambling house almost obscured the sky. You can smell the scent of cherry blossoms from afar. When you walk out of the short road, your clothes will be stained with cherry blossom petals. ”

Yagamiki noticed the cherry blossom-colored headband on Shirahoshi's silver hair, and if you looked closely, you could see the dark lines of cherry blossoms on it.

"The hair accessories are beautiful. Yagami said.

Shirahoshi was so happy that his eyes were bent into crescent moons.

"Sister Shizun bought it for me. She said.

Yagamiki was silent for a while and then spoke, "The weather is fine today, let's go to the mountains for a picnic." ”

No matter what conflicts Yagami has with Shizune and Tsunade, Shirahoshi gets along well with them. Yagamiki felt that it was better to say goodbye to Shirahoshi and Tsunade and Shizune.

Besides, having been in this world for so many years. Yagami Qi was always calculating to get by, and every night he had to plan his plans to fall asleep. It's time to relax, too.

And cherry blossoms can only be seen in the land of fire where the land is fertile and the climate is suitable.

"Really?," Shirahoshi's eyes were full of surprise.

"Yes, together. But you have to ask them for their opinions."

"yes! Sister Silence, Sister Silence. With her little feet, Shirahoshi ran into the kitchen, shining silver hair scattered behind her.

"What's the matter, Shirahoshi-chan. He said silently while cooking.

"Xiao Qi initiated the proposal and said that we would go on a picnic together today. Tilting his face up, Shirahoshi said.

"Picnic, the weather is really suitable. And there are cherry blossoms to see. However, if Tsunade-sama doesn't go, I won't go. ”

"Why? Shirahoshi asked with a puffed mouth. Tsunade hates Koki, and that's what even the simple-minded Shirahoshi knows.

"Because we went to see the cherry blossoms, isn't it pitiful for Tsunade-sama to be left alone in the house. When the dish was finished, I poured the food onto the prepared plate.

She crouched down and pinched Shirahoshi's cheeks with both hands.

"If it's Shirahoshi, I'm sure I'll be able to convince Tsunade-sama, right? ”

"Well, oh, class, easy, easy, yes," Shirahoshi let go of his cheek and pinched his cheek, and Shirahoshi ran to Tsunade's room non-stop. Click... Inserting the key into the keyhole, Shirahoshi flew to Tsunade's bed with a jump.

"Aunt Tsunade~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I'm going to sleep again..." Tsunade muttered with his eyes closed.

"An hour?"

"One Day"

Yagamiki heard a scream come from Tsunade's room, followed by a reverie gasp.

"Okay... Picnic is it, I know, spare me..."

When Tsunade and Shirahoshi went out, Yagamiki saw Shirahoshi's smug smile and Tsunade's crimson cheeks. She glared at Yagamiki with hatred, ignoring it.

As Shirahoshi said, the cherry blossoms on the mountain are in beautiful bloom. Shirahoshi jumped up and down in front of Tsunade and Yagamiki, accompanied by Shizuki.

Yagamiki held a picnic basket in his hand and watched with admiration at the cherry blossoms blooming all over the mountain. Tsunade walked beside Yagamiki without saying a word.

Looking at the white star playing not far ahead, Tsunade's amber eyes flickered.

"I want Shirahoshi to stay, follow me and mute. ”

"Huh?"

"It's too dangerous to be around you, she deserves a good childhood as a child. ”

Yagamiki looked up at Tsunade, who was half a head taller than him, and smiled.

"She's no ordinary child. Besides, I will protect her, even if it costs me my life. Yagamiki's voice was soft when he said this, but Tsunade couldn't doubt his belief when he said it.

Their picnic place was next to a cherry blossom tree, and the green grass was silently covered with a picnic cloth with a white checkered pattern.

When you eat a sandwich, you can smell the scent of cherry blossoms. When you look up, you can see the cherry blossoms fluttering in the wind with almost transparent petals in the sun.

Tsunade was already drunk, and she hadn't drunk for a long time at Yagamiki's request, and the two bottles of sake that Shizune had brought with her all went into Tsunade's stomach except for a cup of spicy straight jumping that Shirahoshi poured out of his mouth.

She rests on Mute's lap and hums an unknown song, silently stroking Tsunade's hair.

A long, long time ago, Tsunade, who was intoxicated with love, fantasized about living such a day with Kato Tatsuma. But it was a time of war, and they didn't even have much time to see each other, let alone have a picnic and enjoy the flowers.

Tsunade opened his misty sleepy eyes and saw the bright sunshine and the cherry blossom trees trembling in the wind, and the scent of cherry blossoms and a silent lunch lingered in his nose.

She closed her eyes again, and missed the two men with bright smiles even more, as if they were close at hand.
