Chapter 179 Tsunade's Kimono
Chapter 179 Tsunade's Kimono (th update)
At the door of Tsunade's house.
Hanekawa took out the key and was about to open it when he saw Kurenai Yuhi stop.
Unlike her usual relaxed and lively self, she seemed a little restless today, closing and opening her fingers.
"how?"
Hanekawa joked, "Are you afraid that the teacher won't give you food?"
"how is this possible?"
Yuhi Kurenai quickly denied it and said, "I'm just not used to spending the New Year at Tsunade-sensei's house for the first time."
"What's there to be accustomed to?"
Hanekawa smiled, opened the door with the key, and said, "Come in."
"Is Tsunade-sensei not home?"
Xihihong stood at the entrance and looked towards the living room.
"She probably went to the casino."
Hanekawa wasn't surprised at all.
For Tsunade, there is nothing special about the New Year. She just goes to the casino when she needs to, and it won’t have any impact.
"Tsunade-sensei is really... free and easy."
Xihihong was stunned for a moment and said.
"She's not here, so there's no need to praise her."
Hanekawa reached out and took the dish from her hand.
"I am telling the truth!"
Yuhi Kurenai rolled her eyes at him and said sarcastically, "I noticed that you have no respect for teacher Tsunade at all!"
"I have a lot of respect for her."
Hanekawa said without changing his expression.
Of course, Yuhi Kurenai didn't believe it. She curled her lips, took off her shoes, revealing her tabi, which are white socks.
She had already changed into a kimono, so according to tradition, she had to wear tabi.
“It feels freer to be barefoot.”
Yuhi Kurenai is not very comfortable with tabi and geta.
"Indeed."
Hanekawa looked at her and said, "She looks better barefoot, too."
"I'll show you when I get home."
Xihihong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said with a red face.
"...?"
Hanekawa couldn't help but be startled.
You are committing a crime by being so obedient!
"Um...I'll help you cook..."
Xiuri Hong was stared at by him and said in a panic.
"Need not."
Hanekawa shook his head and said, "I can do it alone."
"I...what should I do?"
Xihi Kurenai tilted her head and asked in confusion.
"You watch TV."
Hanekawa paused and said, "If the teacher hasn't come back by night, go to the casino to find her."
"Ok!"
Xihi Kurenai suddenly thought of something and asked, "Would you like some juice?"
"Ah."
Hanekawa nodded slightly, then carried the dishes to the kitchen.
Xihihong secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Although she was an extrovert, the bold words just now still made her heart beat faster.
Xiurihong came to her senses, jumped up and down, humming a song, and opened the refrigerator.
She poured a glass of lemonade and went to the kitchen.
Hanekawa is washing vegetables.
She walked forward and brought the lemon juice to his lips.
"Thank you."
Hanekawa came forward and took two sips, then said, "You drink the rest."
"Eh?"
Xiurihong was stunned.
"Why? Do you mind?"
Hanekawa glanced at her and asked.
"No...don't mind..."
Xihi Kurenai reacted and her face blushed again.
"It's so cute."
Hanekawa praised.
"You don't need to tell me this!"
After saying this, Xi Ri Hong turned around and fled.
She returned to the living room, sat on the sofa, and drank two sips of lemon juice to calm herself.
Yuhi Kurenai let out a breath, and suddenly realized something. Her face turned red, and even her ears turned pink.
Just then, the door opened.
Tsunade walked in with two bottles of wine.
"Tsunade-sensei!"
Xihi Kurenai quickly stood up and greeted them.
"Have you been drinking?"
Tsunade glanced at her and asked casually.
"no!"
Xihihong shook her head like a rattle.
"Then why is your face so red?"
Tsunade felt that Kurenai Yuhi was very strange today.
“Yes…it’s frozen!”
Yuhi Kurenai said quickly, "Hekawa and I just went shopping and bought kimonos and food for dinner."
"Your kimono is indeed very nice."
Tsunade didn't care, just looked him over and praised him.
"Tsunade-sensei, we bought you a present as well."
Xihihong took out a paper bag and handed it to her.
"kimono?"
Tsunade was slightly startled and said, "Thank you."
Although she rarely wears kimono, it is hard to refuse since it was given to her by her students.
"This kimono was chosen by Hanekawa and I together."
Kurenai Yuhi looked at the calm Tsunade and said nervously, "I don't know if you like it."
"No wonder."
Tsunade flipped the kimono, her lips curled up slightly, and said, "I like this kimono."
Xi Rihong's heart finally settled down.
"I'm going to change clothes."
Tsunade put two bottles of wine on the table, hugged her kimono, and went to the room.
She took off her clothes, put on her kimono, and finally tied it with a belt.
"It's a good fit."
Tsunade turned around and suddenly thought of something, and took out a light golden hairpin and a red hair tie.
She reached out her hand, lifted her golden hair, and pinned it with a hairpin.
After all, her previous hairstyle was not suitable for wearing a kimono.
It is worth mentioning that both the hairpin and the hair tie were bought by Hanekawa.
Tsunade walked out of the room.
When Xi Ri Hong heard the footsteps, she looked up subconsciously and then was stunned.
Tsunade has changed from her previous heroic appearance to become very mature and has the temperament of a noble lady.
Looking at her voluptuous figure that couldn't even be concealed by her kimono, Yuhi Kurenai suddenly felt envious.
She thought to herself that she was still young and maybe her figure would be similar to hers in the future.
"Tsunade-sensei, you are so beautiful!"
Xihi Kurenai came back to her senses and sighed.
"Why did you decide to spend the New Year with me today?"
Tsunade smiled faintly, sat on the sofa, and asked casually.
"It was Hanekawa's suggestion."
Yuhi Kurenai said truthfully.
Tsunade couldn't help but raise an eyebrow when she heard that.
Is this really what this little brat was thinking?
"You don't have to be so restrained."
Tsunade said with a smile on her face and in a good mood.
"Yes!"
Yuhi Kurenai subconsciously closed her legs and sat very straight.
Tsunade shook her head and turned on the TV without saying anything else.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
"I'll open the door!"
Xihihong quickly stood up and trotted to the door.
After not seeing Tsunade, she suddenly felt a lot less stressed.
Just as Hanekawa guessed, she treated this New Year's celebration as a meeting with her parents or elders.
Kurenai Yuhi opened the door and looked at the masked ANBU ninja outside the door, and was immediately confused.
"Please pass this scroll to Lady Tsunade."
Qing knew Yuhi Kurenai, so she handed the scroll to her without further ado.
"you……"
As soon as Xihi Hong said a word, Qing disappeared from the spot.
She came to her senses and closed the door.
"Tsunade-sensei is a ninja from the Anbu."
Kurenai Yuhi walked up to Tsunade and said, "This is for you."
"Yeah." Tsunade put down the TV remote and opened the scroll.
As expected, it was information about the battlefield in the Hidden Cloud Village.
She looked at it for a moment and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
This is what happened yesterday. It is said that Hatake Sakumo's team was ambushed by the Hidden Cloud Village while on a mission.
But the four of them killed 42 ninjas from the Hidden Cloud Village, and seriously injured two Yukitos.
This is an unimaginable victory.
Tsunade looked confused.
Hatake Sakumo is indeed very strong, but he is an assassin-type ninja, and he should not have such results facing a Jinchūriki.
Especially when facing the two Yugitos who have completely transformed into tailed beasts.
What surprised her most was that their team did not suffer any major casualties.
If it were their team, Tsunade wouldn't dare to guarantee the safety of Nohara Rin and Yuhi Kurenai.
"for you."
Tsunade noticed Kurenai Yuhi's curious look and handed the scroll to her.
"Amazing!"
After reading it, Yuhi Kurenai showed an expression of disbelief.
Tsunade couldn't figure it out and stopped thinking about it.
After all, it's a good thing for Konoha Village.
However, Danzo Shimura and Orochimaru will probably be very unhappy.
Although Tsunade didn't care much about the affairs of Konoha Village, she knew exactly why the two of them were mixed up together.
She suddenly felt a headache.
If this continues, she will be the most likely to become Hokage.
Unless she explicitly refuses.
But when Tsunade thought of Hanekawa, a hint of hesitation appeared in her heart.
This brat makes a birthday wish every year for her to become Hokage, and if she really doesn't become one, he will probably be disappointed.
Tsunade sighed inwardly.
We can only take it one step at a time and see what happens when the time comes.
Tsunade and Kurenai Yuhi were chatting while watching TV.
The sky outside the window gradually darkened, and the last ray of sunlight disappeared.
"It's time to eat!"
Hanekawa appeared in the hall carrying dishes and chopsticks.
He subconsciously glanced at Tsunade and was slightly shocked.
This kimono really suits her.
Her traditional elegance is paired with a seductive body, which together make up her unique temperament.
"I'll serve the food."
Seeing this, Xi Ri Hong hurried to the kitchen to help.
After a while, five dishes were placed on the table.
In addition, there are two bottles of wine bought by Tsunade.
"What kind of scroll is this?"
Hanekawa saw the scroll that Tsunade had placed aside.
"Qing gave it to me."
Tsunade picked up the wine glass.
Xihihong took the initiative to pour wine for her.
Hanekawa opened the scroll and began to read.
His reaction was similar to Tsunade's. Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for Hatake Sakumo's team to achieve such a result.
But there is a special situation in which this can happen, that is, Uchiha Shisui opens the Mangekyō Sharingan.
In the original work, there is no mention of the specific circumstances in which he opened his eyes, but it is likely that it was during the Third Ninja World War.
Now that their team has been ambushed, it is understandable that Uchiha Shisui cut his eyes open to save people.
I just don't know if it's another god.
"Let's eat."
Tsunade handed him a pair of chopsticks.
"Ah."
Hanekawa put away the scroll.
It was a good thing that Uchiha Shisui opened his eyes, and it was also a good thing that Hatake Sakumo's team fought back.
All in all, Danzo Shimura must have had a very uncomfortable New Year.
"cheers!"
Tsunade raised her glass and said, "Happy New Year!"
Hanekawa and Kurenai Yuhi held up their juices.
The cups made crisp sounds, and the atmosphere at the table quickly became relaxed.
Xiurihong gradually returned to her usual style and looked very lively.
Tsunade looked at the two of them and suddenly felt like home.
She had spent previous New Years alone, which was rather lonely.
Only when Hanekawa is around, she is considered popular.
Now with the addition of Sunset Red, it is even more lively.
After dinner, the three of them sat on the sofa and watched TV.
Tonight is New Year's Eve, and they are going to stay up all night.
"Teacher, do you want to take a rest first?"
Hanekawa looked at Tsunade, whose face was flushed from drinking, and asked with concern.
"What's this little bit of wine?"
Tsunade snorted and said with some dissatisfaction, "I can still drink!"
"Don't drink the wine, drink some lemon juice."
Hanekawa handed her a glass of lemonade.
Tsunade rolled her eyes but still took two sips.
She shook her head and felt a little dizzy.
Tsunade subconsciously hugged Hanekawa's arm, leaned on his shoulder, and looked at the TV.
Xihihong turned her head and saw this scene, she was about to say something but stopped herself.
But considering that Tsunade was already drunk, this behavior was nothing.
Her eyes lit up, and she sat on Hanekawa's left side, hugging his other arm.
"...?"
Hanekawa seemed confused by the sudden change in the situation.
How is this going?
He felt like he had accidentally hit the skip button while playing a game.
Hanekawa glanced around.
His right arm was clearly bearing greater pressure, and the soft burden made him groan inwardly.
The left arm is just ordinary. After all, Xi Ri Hong is still young and has room for growth.
The living room became very quiet, with only the sound of the TV.
I don’t know how long it was, but suddenly a bell rang outside the door.
“It’s a new year.”
Tsunade released his arm and sat up, saying calmly.
She was completely sober.
"Do you want to eat soba noodles?"
Xihi Kurenai perked up and asked.
"Wait a moment, I bought some soba noodles during the day."
Hanekawa walked towards the kitchen.
This is the custom in the ninja world, eating soba noodles when staying up all night to celebrate the New Year.
"Coming!"
Not long after, Hanekawa brought out three bowls of soba noodles.
“It’s time to make a New Year’s wish!”
Xihi Kurenai suddenly thought of something and said excitedly.
"What do you wish for?"
Hanekawa asked curiously.
"I hope the war ends soon!"
Xihi Kurenai thought for a moment and said.
"As for me, I hope to have a Hokage-sensei."
Hanekawa said with a light cough.
"Then you should go and take the old man as your teacher."
Tsunade glanced at him, raised her leg, and stepped hard on him.
“I only have one teacher.”
Hanekawa said without changing his expression.
"I think Hanekawa is right!"
Kurenai Yuhi didn't notice their little tricks and said confidently, "Tsunade-sensei is the most qualified to be the next Hokage!"
"Eat noodle."
Tsunade ignored them and picked up her chopsticks to eat the soba.
The three bowls of noodles were quickly finished.
"It's getting late. You can sleep here with me tonight."
Tsunade put down her chopsticks and said, "Hekawa, clean up the room next to yours."
Hanekawa has a fixed room.
Tsunade also has one.
The remaining rooms can be used as guest rooms.
"Ok."
Hanekawa looked at Yuhi Kurenai and said with a smile, "The task of washing the dishes is left to you."
"no problem!"
Yuhi Kurenai said with a smile on her face.
But the New Year's joy cannot dispel the shadow of war.
Early the next morning, the Anbu ninja Haru appeared again.
She brought orders from Sarutobi Hiruzen and asked Tsunade and Hanekawa to go to a meeting.
Because the Iwagakure Village took action.
