"Weren't you angry just now?

Keep going!

Please give your son an explanation. The rightful owner is here. Why are you so timid?"

After taking care of the other parent, Tsunade waved to Kushina and gestured for her to come closer.

"Tsunade-san."

Kushina smiled, looking very guilty.

I'll deal with you later.

Walking out of the teacher's office, Kushina hugged Tsunade's arm and shook it:

"I'm sorry, Sister Tsunade, they laughed at me for having red hair and called me a little pepper. I couldn't help myself, so I beat that kid."

"Okay, okay." Tsunade said with a headache, "I knew it would be bad for you and Shigeru to get together. That kid has a poisonous mouth. Don't listen to him in the future."

"Forget it today. Go back and get some good rest. Get up early tomorrow for class. If this happens again, don't do anything in class, you understand?"

That's not how you hit someone. Beating someone in class in front of the teacher and the whole class is still a sneak attack. This is very bad, Kushina.

Even if you beat him after class, it wouldn't be as serious.

"Yeah, yeah."

Kushina nodded obediently, agreeing, "Then can I go to Shigeru's house? He is moving to a new house today, and I want to go and play."

"Go ahead, as long as you don't get bored; he won't be able to come home until after work."

Tsunade did not refuse Kushina's request.

Just have fun. There's no way to continue the class today.

"Okay! Sister Tsunade, you are the best."

"Come on, I'm almost mad. You listen to whatever that b*****d Shigeru says and believe everything he tells you. It's more effective than what I say. He even mocks me! It's okay, Sister Tsunade. If something happens, it's not my fault. Sister, I'm so angry."

These words were like a knife stabbing Tsunade's lungs.

Tsunade was furious.

Is my sister as bad as you say?

"Really?"

Kushina was very surprised. She couldn't believe that Shigeru would be so hostile to Tsunade.

"Is it a lie? That boy feels sorry for you, so he just spewed his venom in my face."

The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

Tsunade raised her hand and tapped Kushina on the forehead.

"Ugh~ It hurts."

Kushina held her forehead pitifully.

"Stop pretending to be pitiful." Tsunade was unmoved because she hadn't used any force at all.

"Wait, where are you going?"

"Buying groceries."

Kushina clasped her little hands behind her back. "Shigeru has to go to work alone, and he doesn't have time to go to the market. Since Sister Tsunade won't help with shopping, I'm going to the market to buy groceries."

"..."

Tsunade's head was covered with black lines.

Because it sounded like she was a freeloader.

Well, she, Tsunade, was a freeloader.

She subconsciously touched her pocket and found only a few steel coins, so she abandoned the idea of paying for groceries.

Your pocket is cleaner than your face, so let's continue to eat for free.

"Then be careful. I'm going to work in the medical department; there are a lot of messy things waiting for me to deal with."

With Anbu's protection around Kushina, her safety was guaranteed. After Tsunade and Kushina separated, Tsunade headed directly to the medical department.

As for Konoha Hospital, she didn't want to go there just yet, fearing she might not be able to restrain herself and might end up hitting Shigeru.

That b*****d keeps talking in a heart-wrenching way.

"Didn't I tell you not to buy groceries? There are plenty of things at home, and I'll buy them myself."

After work, Shigeru came home and saw several large bags on the floor.

"Tsunade-sister went to school and brought these back for me. I went to the market on the way."

Kushina raised her little fist triumphantly. "Today, that guy laughed at me and called me little pepper. I knocked out one of his front teeth."

"I'm pretty awesome."

"Hahaha, awesome!"

Shigeru burst into laughter and gave Kushina a thumbs up. "You did a great job! Just call them over. Don't worry about the serious consequences. You have to understand that in Konoha, it's a good thing if you, Kushina, don't bully others. Now, how can anyone bully you?"

"By the way, Tsunade didn't scold you, did she?"

"No, but Sister Tsunade told me not to listen to you."

"Don't listen… ahem, Kushina, what do you want to eat? Would you like some noodles tonight?"

Shigeru was about to complain a few things when he noticed someone arriving, so he changed the topic.

"Hasn't dinner started yet?"

Tsunade was dizzy and felt like half her life had drained away. She walked into the room and collapsed on the sofa without caring about appearances.

"Um... Kushina and I are going to eat ramen."

Is teaching students really that exhausting?

"Bring me something for three people. I want to have a good meal."

Tsunade felt weak.

Kushina asked worriedly, "Sister Tsunade, are you okay?"

"Don't mention it." Tsunade groaned, feeling the anger welling up inside her. "I've never seen such a stupid student. After teaching all day, he couldn't learn anything. Ahhh, I'm so angry!!"

Tsunade had never been a patient person.

In fact, she was quite impatient, even irritable.

Letting her teach students patiently was a struggle. It's fine if the process goes smoothly, but if it doesn't, everything goes awry.

Poor Tsunade-hime.

After three seconds of silence for Tsunade, Shigeru picked up the bag on the floor and walked into the kitchen. Kushina contemplated for a moment before running after Shigeru.

She felt that Tsunade should be given some time to calm down.

It was somewhat dangerous to get close at this time.

Among the future Sannin, Jiraiya had the most patience when it came to teaching his disciples. It was hard to believe that Jiraiya, who was usually unreliable and incompetent, could actually be a good teacher.

Orochimaru also had a high talent for education, but his methods were as scary as his personality.

However, that was after Naoki died; before Naoki's death, Orochimaru hadn't fully descended into darkness.

At Shigeru's home, the three of them sat together and eagerly ate their noodles.

In Senju's ancestral home, Uzumaki Mito looked at the empty table and couldn't help but sigh.

"Grandma, what's wrong with you?"

Shengshu, who was taking a big bite of rice, paused and looked at his grandmother, confused as she wasn't using her chopsticks.

"Nawaki, don't you think it's a little deserted during mealtime?" As she grew older, Uzumaki Mito still felt a void without her grandchildren around.

Unfortunately, Tsunade often didn't come home for dinner recently, and Kushina was the same.

"Is there?"

Shengshu picked up a chicken leg and displayed a clear and cute look. "No, if sister isn't here, no one will compete with me for delicious food."

Uzumaki Mito: "..."

It's no wonder your sister says you're stupid and often beats you.

If Uzumaki Mito were a few years younger, she would've definitely caught this grandson and given him a good talking-to.

"Kushina didn't come back for dinner either. She said the food cooked by Hyuga Shigeru was delicious and that she must try it some other time." Nashu chattered on.

Uzumaki Mito felt even more heartbroken after hearing this.

The old lady felt deserted without her granddaughter. Now, her grandson wanted to run away too?

It seemed they needed to have a talk with Tsunade.

---

That night, forced to work overtime, Tsunade dragged her tired body home. What surprised her was that her grandmother, Uzumaki Mito, was still awake.

"Grandma, can't you sleep?"

Uzumaki Mito glanced at her granddaughter. "I'm the only one left in the whole family with this silly boy named Naoki. Can I still sleep, old lady?"

"Forehead..."

Is it because I came back too late?

"Grandma, I'll come back early tomorrow to keep you company."

"No, just ask Shigeru to come over tomorrow."

Uzumaki Mito's tone became a little stiff.

You and Kushina like to have dinner together?

Well, the old woman will directly cut off your access to food and see if you can still come back.

If Shigeru isn't at home, Kushina will definitely stay home.

As for Tsunade... she lost all her previous salary, and her pockets were empty. If she didn't go home to eat, she would be hungry. Uzumaki Mito believed that her granddaughter would come back for food.

Looking at her grandmother's retreating figure, Tsunade asked doubtfully, "Did I say something wrong?"
