After half an hour, the carriage finally stopped in front of a white building.

It was a fairly large, two-and-a-half-storey white house with an attic in front of it with a well-tended lawn, the edge of which marked the boundaries of the courtyard with whitewashed stones.

Behind the white buildings there are several rectangular buildings such as warehouses and stables, and then there are sparsely wooded, swampy depressions, which are firmly fenced with barbed wire and are not allowed to be entered.

Although I live in a remote mountainous area and have no neighbors around, it is like a big family.

"My father likes to hunt, so he has always refused to move out of here, and there are still many small animals on Bhikshu Mountain."

It is clear that Abe Heiji, who is the minister of the Fire Nation, is not satisfied with his father's residence.

Tsunade and Abe Ishitaro are old acquaintances, and of course they know about Abe Ishitaro's hobby.

When he was young, Abe Ishitaro was an avid hunter, and during a hunt, he accidentally infected his head with a parasite.

Once the parasite has taken root in the human brain, it is difficult to remove it by normal means, and at night the head will be extremely painful, and if no one stops it, the patient will not be able to bear the pain and choose to die directly by hitting his head.

Later, Abe Ishitaro was sent to Konoha Village, and the parasite was removed after Tsunade's craniotomy.

At that time, Tsunade did not have hemophobia and was able to perform various surgeries.

However, over the years, things have long been different.

...

Pushing open the half-hidden door, Tsunade, Azumi, and Shizune entered the house under the leadership of Heiji Abe.

The world inside the house is completely different from what you imagined, the curtains in the room are closed, and most of the light is blocked.

In the dimly lit room, the three of them smelled a strange smell.

The smell is a faint sweetness mixed with a moldy fungus smell, and although it is not particularly unpleasant, it is very strange in short.

Arriving in the lobby, on an easy chair in a shadowy corner, everyone finally saw Ishitaro Abe himself.

In the deep gloom, Tsunade saw Ishitaro Abe's face clearly.

His weather-beaten face was furrowed, there was no sparkle in the pupils of his eyes, he just stared at the wall next to him without blinking, his gray beard around his chin was slightly sloppy, and his whole head hung limply on the back of the easy chair.

This is indeed a look that only a seriously ill patient can have.

In addition to this, the rest of Abe Ishitaro's body is hidden in the red blanket that covers his body.

"Father-sama, Tsunade-sama is here."

Heiji Abe walked up to Ishitaro Abe and whispered in his ear, and it took a few seconds for Ishitaro Abe to recover from his pretend sleep and turn his face to Tsunade.

"Ahh Tsunade is here. ”

"Forgive me for being too weak to stand up and receive you, you... Find a place to sit down. ”

As he spoke, Abe Shitaro stretched out a hand as thin as a dead man from the blanket.

This made Shizune and Azuki behind Tsunade a little surprised, Abe Ishitaro's hands were so thin that he was still alive, it was a miracle.

And Tsunade's eyes narrowed slightly after seeing Abe Ishitaro's hand.

"Father-sama, Tsunade-sama is here to heal you, so please let Tsunade-sama check your health."

"Okay."

Ishitaro Abe's head nodded slightly, but his body didn't move.

Tsunade held out his hand and said "rude", then a green chakra emerged from his hand, and he placed his hand on Ishitaro's body and swam back and forth.

When the green chakra appeared on Tsunade's hand, Azuki could clearly see that there was some sparkle in Abe Ishitaro's originally lifeless eyes.

And as Tsunade's chakra-covered palm wandered, his eyes, which had been in a motionless state, also rolled, as if he was very interested in Tsunade's chakra-covered palm.

And Tsunade here checked it twice, raised his eyebrows slightly, and then withdrew his palm.

"Mr. Ishitaro doesn't have any problems with his body."

Tsunade's diagnosis made Abe Heiji a little angry, but out of politeness, Abe Heiji still said in polite words: "My father is already weak like this, how can he not be sick?" ”

Abe's attitude was understandable, but Tsunade retorted, "If you think that Mr. Ishitaro is sick, then please take him to a more suitable doctor." ”

"Anyway, in my place, Mr. Shitaro is just not sick!"

Tsunade's tone and attitude are very tough, and this sudden abnormal state makes Shizune and Azuki behind him a little overwhelmed.

Because in Shizune and Azuki's opinion, Shitaro is obviously sick, and very sick, why is Tsunade's diagnosis that he is not sick.

At this moment, the voice of Ishitaro Abe in the easy chair sounded, and he said in that faint and staccato voice, "Let's take Tsunade to live first..."

"The rest will come later."

"Hum..."

At the last note of Ishitaro's last sentence, a subtle "hum" came out.

This high-frequency sound like a bee vibrating surprised Shizune and Azuki Bean even more.

Can humans make such sounds?

And Tsunade, who had already stood up, glanced at Abe Ishitaro behind him, and did not say anything.

...

Dinner was a dish prepared by the Abe family's maids.

On weekdays, Abe Ishitaro doesn't live here alone, and there are two servants, a male and a female maid.

These two servants are also old, and they are both much older than Abe Heiji.

The two servants were silent, and since Tsunade and his party came here, they hadn't spoken anything except when the maid informed them that the meal was ready.

The male maid, on the other hand, had a longer contact with Tsunade and others, because when Abe Heiji came to pick up Tsunade, it was the male maid who served as the coachman.

But the maid never spoke, not even when he was driving the carriage.

During the dinner, Abe Heiji apologized to Tsunade and said that when the matter here is over, he will take his father out for medical treatment.

Tsunade didn't say anything about it, seemingly acquiescing in the impolite behavior.

As for the subject of the conflict, Ishitaro Abe did not appear at the table.

Heiji Abe explained that his father was too weak to go to the table and needed to be fed by the maid herself.

When the word "weak" is mentioned, Abe Heiji deliberately accentuates the word, as if to emphasize to Tsunade that his father is sick.

After dinner, according to the original plan, it should be discussed for tomorrow's itinerary.

But now the atmosphere is a little stiff, so I skipped these steps and went straight to the break.

The maid allocates two rooms to the three of Tsunade. Tsunade has one room for one person, and Shie and Azuki have one room.

And just like that, night fell.
