Chapter 305: The sour smell of self-deceptive love
"Huh? If you think about it...... The prince has only been chasing his wife for three years, and he has so many memories full of affection......"
In a flash of thought, Naruto turned his gaze with a complicated expression, focusing his attention on the rare slight smile at the same time, and joined forces with Naruto's main body, playing with the embarrassed figure of Orochimaru. The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and he whispered in his heart word by word.
"The lustful fairy who has chased Uncle Snake for most of his life, if he walks with Uncle Snake, it seems to be good...... What's more, the current Uncle Snake is still unknown whether he is an 'uncle' or an 'aunt'......"
ββ¦β¦ Hissββ! It's strange, just now, why did you suddenly feel that something was wrong......"
At the same time, being stared at by Naruto's meaningful gaze, Orochimaru, who was not far away, suddenly felt a coldness that penetrated deep into the bone marrow for no reason. Then he subconsciously trembled, and the goosebumps all over his body quickly appeared, and he involuntarily muttered quietly in his heart.
"Enemies nearby? No, that doesn't look like an early warning of a sense of crisis? Could it be my delusion......? β
Even though the keen perception in his heart made Orochimaru vaguely sense that something was wrong under the strange gaze projected by Naruto. But because of this strange thought, it has nothing to do with the warning of the instinctive sense of crisis in the impression. And under the subconscious investigation and exploration, the body is also surrounded by the slightest hostility. After making Orochimaru frown and ponder for a long time, he could only have doubts and no more.
Because of this, Orochimaru, who has been a manly man for most of his life, can't imagine it...... In the case that the forbidden technique of seizing and relinquishing, which is still in the conceptual stage, has not yet been thoroughly perfected and developed. Even if he was a man, he had already been targeted by someone. And I thought to myself, how to transform Uncle Snake into Aunt Snake......
Having said that, at the moment, Naruto, who is single-mindedly trying to be a matchmaker and seek happiness for himself, probably has forgotten about it......
Yes, that's right, the prince in the original book chased his wife for three years, and he was indeed full of affection......
But no matter how the sentiment is...... In the original book, they fell in love and killed each other. It took several years to the point that in the final battle of the Valley of the End, he fought against the two men who each broke their arms. There is definitely no Naruto who has been playing since he was a child and spoiling the small group fan unconditionally, right?!
Although in Naruto's own opinion, this is just his own [inner age] as an adult, as an elder, doting on and trusting and relying on his own little fan...... But in the eyes of others, especially from the perspective of Fugaku. If your baby son is a girl from the moment he is born. I'm afraid that Naruto, the top golden beetle son-in-law who can be called hot enough to look at the entire new generation, will not be fished away by the Hyuga clan!?
"Uh...... Hey, little one...... Or, should I call you Naruto, right? β
"Huh?"
At the same time, just as Naruto's heart was thinking, it was gradually developing towards the trend of letting go of himself. The tentative call in his ears reawakened Naruto's consciousness back to reality. Then he subconsciously snorted in response, followed the voice, and saw Shie's beautiful face that started at some point, full of curiosity and close at hand. Immediately, in this unexpected situation, as if he was taken aback, he couldn't help but exclaim.
"Uh-huhββ! How...... What's wrong? Silent sister? β
As mentioned earlier, the "selfish" Naruto will obviously treat those who are kind to him a lot. And even in the previous battle, Mute failed to cause the slightest effective damage and impact on Orochimaru. But not long after he met Naruto, under the influence of Jiraiya's face, he desperately chose to protect Naruto's momentum and practices, which was still enough to impress Naruto and silently rank among his partners.
Well, in a sense, if you talk about status...... Although in terms of strength alone, the young Shizune, whether it is the level of combat or the technique of medical ninjutsu, is definitely not as strong as Tsunade. But in Naruto's heart, the status that can be regarded as a silent one who has fought side by side with him is obviously more than a notch higher than Tsunade, who looks at his face when he comes up and still doesn't take his true feelings for ten years.
Because of this, almost at the moment when Naruto completely turned his head, the dissatisfaction that had faintly appeared on his face dissipated invisibly in an instant, as if by magic. Immediately, the adult posture that gradually revealed quickly transformed into the appearance of an innocent child who was originally well-behaved and obedient. In response with a milky voice, the honorific title of "sister" for the silence is naturally from the heart and not adulterated.
"Haha, look at the scare you little one...... It's nothing, I'm just a little curious, what you and Tsunade-sama were talking about just now. β
In the perception that was originally silent, there was a cold and indifferent aura that existed as if it were nothing, but the moment Naruto turned around, it completely dissipated into nothingness. Instinctively sensed that something unpleasant might have happened between Naruto and Tsunade, and Mute tried to persuade him, and couldn't help but be slightly stunned, wondering if it was his own delusion. Immediately, while Naruto was really introverted and shy [?] In front of the child's appearance, he couldn't help laughing, and at the same time, he stretched out his hand and leaned over a little, almost like the instinct of pampering small animals, and carefully picked up Naruto's petite and soft body, which still had a bit of baby fat, in his arms.
"Uh-huhββ! If you look closely, it's cute...... Hehe, as expected, the feeling of holding it is really soft and comfortableββ! β
Under this close-up look, because he was caught off guard, he was suddenly picked up in his arms by Mute and treated as a complete child, to spoil and love, and fell into a state of confusion and sluggishness. Giving the feeling of silence is an ordinary child who needs to be cared for by others. So much so that if you look at it from the eyes of an outsider who doesn't know the truth, I'm afraid I can't think of it, but this little guy in Shizun's arms has the strong strength to temporarily repel Orochimaru with just one blow!
Because of this, under the influence of such a huge and significant contrast, the attribute called "soft cuteness" is bringed. As soon as the muted voice fell, it was as if the maternal instinct was stimulated. While bubbling with girly pink bubbles and love, he narrowed his eyes into slits and kept rubbing back and forth on Naruto's soft little face.
"Huh?! Pity...... Be reserved, mute...... I'm also an adult [psychologically] old man, what the hell is cuteββ! β
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Naruto, who had rubbed his face a lot of small balls, suddenly felt a strange thought called "You also have today" in his heart. Immediately, he secretly complained in his heart, while he couldn't bear to be frustrated by the silent emotions that had been included in the ranks of his partners, and tried to suppress the idea of breaking free with a stand-in. While keeping his tone as calm as possible, he blinked his eyes and replied in a milky voice pretending to be innocent.
"Hmm...... It's nothing.,I'm just a little curious.,I used to be with Grandpa Jiraiya.,Companion known as the three ninjas of Konoha.,What do you think of Grandpa Jiraiya.γ β
In a sense, Naruto didn't lie to Shizun...... It's just that this question, for Tsunade who has a complicated mind at this moment, is very likely to become a proposition.
"Huh? I see...... But yes, if it were me, I'd love to ask Jiraiya-sama what he thinks of Tsunade-sama! β
Naruto's reply made the silence of the nurse-sucking baby sober up and calm down a little. Then he stroked Naruto's soft blonde hair with his free hand. While looking left and right, as if he was afraid of being listened to by others, he lowered his head slightly, leaned into Naruto's ear, and whispered word by word.
"And, I always feel ...... The relationship between Jiraiya-sama and Tsunade-sama doesn't seem to be as simple as being comrades-in-arms at the same time...... It always feels like a couple...... Awkward couples? β
Obviously, because of the image of a greasy uncle who originally showed a trend of fortune, and he felt a little suspicious and uncertain about his identity as one of the three ninjas of Konoha. In the flowing actions that he had witnessed to save Naruto's own life that he had witnessed before, not only did he completely dispel the doubts in his heart. is also because of her keen intuition as a woman, under the picture of the two people drinking [appointment] wine [meeting] that she saw before, she inferred that the relationship between the two people may not be as simple as what she has always imagined.
"Huh? Yes...... Be...... Is it...... I didn't even see it, haha......"
The whispers poured into his ears made Naruto, who had been constantly tempting and stimulating Tsunade, suddenly mistakenly think that his actions were exposed, and his heart stiffened. It wasn't until he listened to the next words of Mute that he breathed a sigh of relief. Immediately, the tense body relaxed slightly. After rolling his eyes a few times, he pretended to be casual and asked "casually" to mute.
"Are you an awkward couple...... Nana, Sister Shizune, in your opinion, is this really the relationship between the two of them? Or is it possible to develop into such a relationship? β
Even in Naruto's heart, out of his own preferences, he has made up two diametrically opposite sets of action plans for Jiraiya, who silently guards Tsunade almost without asking for anything in return, and the ways and means to obtain happiness. However, in Naruto's opinion, it is obviously difficult for some strong people to fully understand Tsunade during this time period and make choices without regrets and mistakes just by relying on a few words of communication.
Because of this, in the original plan, Naruto planned to ask Tsunade a few more vaguely from the side to find out Tsunade's true thoughts. But because Tsunade seems to be in a state of mind at the moment, he is confused and distressed, and he knows that this move will probably not achieve the effect Naruto expected. Mute inadvertently, the topic that I took the initiative to mention is almost equivalent to sending charcoal in the snow!
After all, although as a time-traveling party, Naruto was able to think about most of Tsunade's situation according to the plot and character design of the original book. But when it comes to what is really said, it is just a piece of paper that is difficult to guarantee - not to mention anything else, as a lesson from the past, after Naruto intervened, the changes in the characters of Fugaku and others are obviously far beyond the scope of the original book. If there is no personal contact, it is obviously unpredictable and speculative - empty words. It's far from being comparable.,I've followed the silence by Tsunade's side for so many years.,I know Tsunade so meticulously and deeply.γ
In this case, compared to perfectly following the law of the authorities and bystanders, he became so distracted that he began to become ineffective in obtaining information......
From the apparently unguarded silence of the onlooker, he got all the information about Tsunade at this time in the moment, such as his daily habits and personality traits. And based on this, it will obviously be a more effective shortcut for Naruto to guess Tsunade's way of thinking and logic more reliably and quickly!
"Huh? The matter of the two of them is for me, an outsider, to comment...... It's a bit rude...... Okay, let me think about it......"
Suddenly hearing Naruto's rhetorical question, Shizune subconsciously planned to refuse. It wasn't until he casually caught a glimpse of Naruto's curious baby looking at him. Driven by the guilt that was inexplicably born in his heart, Fang Cai quickly changed his words, and thought about it with a slight frown. After sorting out the prophecy logic a little, he quietly continued while trying to avoid being listened to by Tsunade and further suppressing the volume of his words.
"Hmm...... Although I always feel that there seems to be some misunderstanding and estrangement in the relationship between the two of them...... But I always feel that both Tsunade-sama and Jiraiya-sama should like each other, right? β
Between words, though, so far, Shizune has heard Jiraiya's name several times when he was drunk and boasted about his heroic deeds in the past. It was only today that I met for the first time in a real sense. But for the fact that the two of them have feelings of mutual admiration, but for some reason, neither party chose to take the initiative to speak, but Mute quickly guessed and reacted.
After all, nothing else......
In the years that I have followed Tsunade, I have long been accustomed to the silence of Tsunade's cold strong woman posture, and it is the first time I have seen it, Tsunade took the initiative to lower his shirt, and let Jiraiya's squinting eyes look at him, eating his own tofu as if nothing happened.
What if it were someone else......
Not to mention taking the initiative to eat tofu with open breasts and breasts, I'm afraid that if people look at it a few more times, they will be dug out by the irascible Tsunade who has a lustful personality......
Of course, Mute didn't tell the "kid" in his arms, Tsunade really did it, and more than once...... It's just that, after digging it out, in order not to cause additional trouble, Tsunade used his own medical skills to help people reinstall their eyes after the other party apologized pitifully.
[In other words, are the eyes in the Hokage world made of light bulbs or plugs...... Plug and use, convenient and fast? γ
In other words, in this remarkable gap that can be called a heaven and a place......
Even if he wasn't stupid, he was quite delicate and silent. How can you not notice the sour smell of self-deception of love between these two people?
Well, or, in a sense......
Between these two people, they think they have concealed an extremely perfect and natural awkward relationship and a way of getting along......
In fact, in the case of others, especially in the process of getting along with Tsunade day and night, the mute of a general grasp of Tsunade's actions and ways of thinking - seems to have become an alternative way to show affection, maybe?
