Bloodline Limit - Chapter 502
“Tsunade-sama, Koyuki told… told me to… tell you that there’s chaos caused by a monster in the ninja world…” Shizune unexpectedly rushed in at this moment, sharing the information about the monster from Koyuki.
“How convenient for you!” Tsunade remarked, giving Ryoha a sarcastic look.
She knew very well that since the last time Shizune accompanied Ryoha on a trip to the ninja world and controlled the Three-Tails, Shizune had become somewhat strange, even uncertain. Ultimately, under a feigned intimidation from Tsunade, Shizune immediately revealed her complicated thoughts, including her feelings towards Ryoha. After that, Tsunade wasn’t sure whether to laugh or be upset. Her own disciple had actually fallen secretly in love with her man.
Initially, she had always wanted Shizune to find a good match, so she had never restricted Shizune’s freedom to choose. However, she had never expected Shizune to fall for this flirtatious guy. She didn’t know if she should feel happy for Shizune finding someone she liked, or be upset that her disciple was competing with her for a man.
Now, with Shizune barging in under these unexpected circumstances, it was too good an opportunity for Ryoha to pass up. That’s why Tsunade said what she did and gave Ryoha a sarcastic look, pretending to sleep with an expression that said ‘out of my sight.’
“I’m… I’m sorry, I’ll leave now,” Shizune felt a pang of sourness in her heart. She wanted to be like Tsunade, but how could she compete with Tsunade for her love? Still, she wanted to leave, but Ryoha wouldn’t let her. Since Tsunade didn’t mind, the other women who were asleep wouldn’t mind either.
“Silly girl, if Tsunade cared, she would have kicked you out a long time ago. Why would she turn her head as if she didn’t see you? She hopes you find your happiness, unless you don’t want to.”
Ryoha stared into Shizune’s eyes, his fiery gaze making Shizune instinctively turn away, afraid of exposing her true thoughts.
“Since my Shizune doesn’t dislike me, what are you afraid of?” Ryoha said…
The next day, when Ryoha changed into clean clothes and came to the hall, he was surprised to find both Karin and Hanabi were here. Seeing Ryoha come out, the petite and lively Hanabi, along with the eccentric Karin, knew what Ryoha was doing yesterday. They exchanged a glance, and a hint of shyness could be seen in each other’s eyes. Even though Karin had a quirky personality, she couldn’t help but feel bashful.
“Hanabi, yesterday I heard Shizune mention something about a monster. Do you know what happened?” Ryoha was also a little embarrassed. After all, being watched by these two, he felt a little awkward, especially since what he did yesterday was indeed quite absurd. But there was no way around it, he liked it.
“This is great, you’re asking the right person,” Hanabi said as she saw Ryoha taking the initiative to ask her, her face slightly blushing. But she immediately answered, “She said something about ‘Moryo’, that almost destroyed the world, very powerful. It seems like someone with suspicious intentions has released it now.”
“The ninja world is in chaos. Even in a frigid place like Yukigakure, there’s turmoil. Luckily, Kurenai-sensei’s training of a powerful female ninja force earlier helped control the situation. However, those stone soldiers that die and come back to life are really troublesome.”
“I see, so the source is the Land of Demons. Haha, indeed, the ninja world has started to shake. One major event after another keeps happening. Monsters, eh? I also want to see them. Let’s see what they are capable of…”
