Chapter 208 Not Like Mom
Longshe left, not returning to the prison to disguise himself, but instead finding a place on the island to hide.
I plan to observe from the shadows tomorrow.
After Longshe left, the people inside stared at each other blankly.
Why aren't you leaving yet?
Uchiha Hikaru shrank back under the covers, staring at Tsunade.
"And what about you?"
Tsunade crossed her arms and asked in return.
"I……"
Uchiha Hikaru pouted, crawled out of the blanket, and snuggled into Bai Mo's arms.
She even took Bai Mo's hand and hugged herself.
"Um... Daddy..."
"?"
Bai Mo slowly typed out a question mark.
Tsunade was also stunned, staring at Bai Mo in shock, as if to say—"You two are going this far?"
Bai Mo noticed Tsunade's expression and was also somewhat speechless.
This is nothing to be shocked about.
Even if you really did misunderstand, there's nothing strange about that, is there?
You've lived for decades, and even if you've never eaten pork, you've at least seen a pig run, right?
But then I thought, I might not have actually seen it before.
After all, the ninja world is quite reserved and repressive.
Jiraiya's novel, "The Little Imperial Uncle," which wasn't particularly exciting, became a bestseller in the ninja world.
...Kakashi's "Kingman" series has been regarded as a treasure by ninjas in various villages and is hailed as a work that has surpassed Jiraiya's.
"Are you reminiscing about the time you spent with your parents?"
Bai Mo patted Guang's head.
It was obvious that the origin of the Dragon Tongue Grass Village reminded her of Karin.
Karin's background and tragic experiences reminded Hikaru of himself.
Before meeting Bai Mo, her only warm memory was being named Guang by her parents and the brief time she spent living with them.
Don't ask why I can make so many connections all at once.
It is perfectly normal and reasonable for the Uchiha clan to be emotionally sensitive and delicate.
It's already a good thing they didn't include a few episodes of flashbacks in the credits.
"Is that so?"
Tsunade felt...not ashamed of her impure thoughts.
"Come here, let me give you a warm hug so you can go back and have sweet dreams."
Tsunade thoughtfully opened her arms to the light.
"Hmph."
Guang didn't refuse and snuggled into Tsunade's arms.
"Hehe, how was it? Did it feel like being back in your mother's arms?"
Tsunade stroked Hikaru's head with a loving expression.
Goodness, is it that she's reached a certain age and can no longer suppress her maternal instincts?
Snapped.
Hikaru suddenly slapped Tsunade's hand away, took a step back, and emerged expressionlessly.
"Not at all."
"...On what grounds?"
Tsunade felt that her self-esteem had been hurt in some ways.
How old is Bai Mo?
You can recall your father there.
Why can't she recall her mother through this?
She was clearly very focused just now, so why couldn't she compare to Bai Mo's casual effort?
"It's too big."
Uchiha Hikaru left the room after saying just one sentence.
Ok?
Tsunade looked at Bai Mo with a puzzled expression.
She didn't understand what Uchiha Hikaru meant at first.
Are you just too jealous of her?
So you're angry?
"She means that her mother isn't that old, so you don't look like her."
As Uchiha Hikaru's translator, Bai Mo easily provided the answer.
"..."
Tsunade remained silent.
Didn't they say that the older a mother is, the more it reflects her love?
The book was indeed full of lies.
Tsunade also went back to her room.
the next day.
Upon receiving the message, Wuwei led everyone to stand at the door to welcome Lei Ying.
The ships in Kumogakure are quite sturdy.
After all, they often have to go out to sea, and there's also the crucial Turtle Island.
Bai Mo and the other two stood at the back of the crowd and watched.
Let's see how many people the Raikage brought...
The Raikage himself is definitely here.
Ok.
Killer Bee, who appeared in the original work, also came.
Although it still felt a bit strange to let Killer Bee leave the Cloud Thunder Gorge at this point, it wasn't a big problem.
There are also Killer Bee's three disciples, including Samui, the only intelligence target from Kusagakure that Ryuzetsu mentioned, as well as Karui and Omoi.
Ok.
Ok?
There was a lone figure standing next to them; wasn't that Yugito, the Two-Tails Jinchuriki?
Did the Raikage bring the Two-Tails and the Eight-Tails together?
Judging from this, the Raikage must have known some information about the Box of Elysium in advance.
He probably already knows Wuwei's thoughts.
Knowing that opening the Box of Bliss required a massive amount of chakra, but worried that extracting too much at once would harm his younger brother Killer Bee, he brought along two Jinchūriki to share the damage.
(Yugito: Thank you, Raikage-sama.)
The most important fighting force of Kumogakure, the Raikage, and two Jinchūriki have arrived.
It seems the Raikage is also somewhat uneasy.
The Hidden Cloud Village had witnessed the power of the treasures during the Six Paths period.
Since Hozuki Castle is an isolated island and difficult to reinforce, the only option is to bring as many combat troops as possible at once to ensure safety.
What may seem like a reckless all-out effort is actually the safest option.
On the contrary, the Raikage's right and left hands, his original bodyguards Darui and Shi, were not there.
It seems these two have stayed behind in Kumogakure.
"Lord, there's no time to lose, take us to see the Box of Bliss."
After shaking hands, Raikage got straight to the point.
In any case, if Wuwei wanted them to stay here overnight to prolong the time, they would absolutely not agree.
"No problem, but an unexpected situation occurred yesterday..."
When Wuwei said this, Lei Ying frowned, thinking that Wuwei was about to make an excuse.
But Wuwei gestured to the jailer to make way.
Lei Ying looked in that direction and saw two familiar figures.
"Tsunade? No, she's the Fifth Hokage now... and that other person too!"
Raikage's pupils contracted.
Tsunade is someone the Raikage naturally knows.
One of his subordinates was hit by a bug-like bomb, and the Raikage asked Tsunade for help in treating him.
Tsunade casually agreed, but didn't take it to heart.
They still drink when they want to drink and gamble when they want to gamble.
When the appointed time arrived, the Raikage stood in the rain and waited all night.
The next day, Raikage managed to save his subordinate's life through an arm-wrestling bet.
This shows that the Raikage is a very pure person.
He stood there all night without resentment towards Tsunade.
He would abandon all pretense for the sake of his subordinates' lives.
Of course, at that time Tsunade had hemophobia, and it was Shizune who treated her.
However, the Raikage was unaware of this; he only knew that one of Tsunade's disciples could easily heal the injuries that had baffled them.
As for the other one...
The person who truly caught Lei Ying's attention, the person whose pupils constricted—Bai Mo.
Previously, during the changes in Kumogakure and Iwagakure, they launched a small-scale raid, while also preparing to seize the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki from Takigakure.
—Does Takigakure Village, such a small village, deserve to have a Jinchūriki?
He encountered this man at the waterfall in Takigakure Village, on the front lines of the battle.
His strength was in no way inferior to Tsunade's, who was arm-wrestling with him.
This is the person in front of them, who snatched the Seven-Tails Jinchuriki from their grasp.
Now this person has appeared with Tsunade, the Hokage of Konoha. Is it another attempt to steal someone else's thunder?
