Konoha: I am Tsunade's childhood sweetheart.

Faced with Tsunade's invitation, Haru flatly refused: "No, I have to carry out the mission of catching pets."

He didn't want to go back with Tsunade, fearing others would misunderstand.

Tsunade enthusiastically offered to help.

Haru waved his hand to refuse: "No, you go back first. I have a 100% completion rate for catching pets, and I can't break the rules just because of this time."

"Then I'm leaving."

Tsunade's voice sounded somewhat resentful, and she muttered in dissatisfaction.

How dare this bastard chase her away?

After saying that, she turned around and walked a few steps, then turned her head and looked over her shoulder, only to see that the bastard was walking in another direction without even looking back.

Tsunade puffed up her cheeks and glared, and quickly walked around to Haru and said angrily: "Wait, don't you have anything to say to me?"

Haru felt puzzled: "Why should I say to you?"

"Well,..."

Tsunade suddenly didn't know how to respond, and her voice became smaller and smaller.

"I suddenly realized that you have been acting strange lately." Haru said

Tsunade's face flushed, her eyes wandered, and she spoke incoherently: "I, I, I, I, I just wanted to help you a little because you saved me."

"I see, why didn't you tell me earlier? Unfortunately, I don't need your help."

Haru waved his hands at her, his face and mouth showing disgust:

"When I saw you gave all the money to those poor people and didn't leave any for me, I was furious. Please leave now."

"Hmph, you take my kindness for granted, then go away." Tsunade snorted, turned around and walked away, her hands clenched into fists,

As he watched Tsunade's slender figure, Haru revealed a thoughtful look in the depths of his half-closed eyelids.

Tsunade turned around, her demeanor changed, and she looked like a completely different person: "You really don't need my help?"

Haru didn't say anything. He crossed his hands in front of his chest and made a big X shape. His meaning was very clear.

"Hmph~"

...

...

After Tsunade returned to Konoha, she immediately told the Third Hokage about her experience. T

here were appropriate modifications in the middle, mainly deleting Haru's role. This was Haru's special instruction.

Tsunade knew that he didn't like to be in the spotlight, so she agreed and exaggerated the story, saying that it was a stranger passing by who saved her.

After hearing this, Sarutobi Hiruzen frowned, showing a sad expression, and said several times, "I'm glad you're back."

If something happened to Tsunade, he really didn't know how he would face the First and Second Hokage when he was buried in the future.

" Sarutobi Sensei, I am going to stop my ninja mission for a while. This experience has made me realize that my strength is still too weak. I need to practice more diligently."

Sarutobi Hiruzen had no reason to refuse Tsunade's request and said that she could practice as long as she wanted.

After leaving the Hokage's office, Tsunade did not immediately go to her grandmother Mito to ask for advice on how to practice, but went straight into a street.

This was the most prosperous commercial street in Konoha.

At a glance, it was full of shops lined up.

After many twists and turns, we finally arrived at the door of a bookstore.

She looked at the guests coming in and out and stopped for a long time, hesitating whether to go in.

After a long silence, Tsunade left.

After a while, she appeared here again, but this time, she wore a pair of sunglasses on her face, a headscarf on her head, and her face was covered.

She moved cautiously, fearing that she would be recognized.

She mustered up her courage and was about to go in when a feminine voice came from beside her.

"Tsunade."

Tsunade, feeling guilty, was startled and looked where the voice came from.

 It was a young man wearing a kimono, with a pair of golden vertical pupils like a snake's, and purple eye shadow.

"Ah, it's Orochimaru."

Tsunade called out his name: "Why are you here?"

"I just happened to come here to buy some books." Orochimaru looked at the strangely dressed Tsunade and couldn't help being curious.

He looked her up and down for a few times and said: "But you, why are you dressed like this, wrapped like a mummy."

In this hot summer, Tsunade lied with her eyes wide open: "Uh, I'm a little cold."

Orochimaru narrowed his golden pupils: Stare

"What are you doing..." Tsunade felt guilty.

Orochimaru spoke directly: "It's summer now."

Σ(°△°|||)︴Tsunade coughed twice: "I recently went to the Iron Country to carry out a mission, so it took me a while to adapt to my return."

Orochimaru gave hera suspicious look, with disbelief written all over his face.

Tsunade was frightened by his gaze: "Orochimaru, when did you become interested in my personal affairs... If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

Orochimaru smiled and shook his head: "Nothing, I am going to buy a book to read."

After saying that, he waved politely to Tsunade as a farewell.

Tsunade hummed.

The two passed each other as if nothing had happened.

Tsunade deliberately slowed down her pace and observed Orochimaru's movements with the corner of her eyes until he completely entered the bookstore.

At this time, Tsunade suddenly returned the same way, hid in a shady corner, and secretly observed the entrance of the bookstore.

After about a few minutes, Tsunade saw Orochimaru leave and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then she rushed into the bookstore at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, having to move quickly to avoid any accidents.

After a while, Tsunade left the bookstore carrying a black bag.

After a while, the clever Orochimaru returned to the original route and asked the clerk which book Tsunade bought.

Following the instructions, he curiously came to the area where Tsunade had just bought the book, picked it up and took a look.

He saw the name written on it in large letters: "Love Guide".

Orochimaru was stunned. Tsunade bought this thing?

He immediately felt uninterested.

He thought Tsunade bought something, but it turned out to be just this, boring.

It's not that he doesn't understand, but she thinks matters between men and women are boring, and there's no point in studying them to get interested in them.

Besides, he thought it was normal for Tsunade to have such thoughts at this age, so he simply didn't take it to heart.

...

A small house in the Senju clan's territory.

In a certain room, Tsunade held her head in her hands, as if struck by a bolt from the blue, unable to accept it for a moment.

According to the description in this "Love Guide": Tsunade, actually fell in love with that idiot.

This is a Illness.

And according to the description, her illness is not mild.

"No way, I, the granddaughter of the first Hokage, would actually fall in love with this idiot."

Having said that, Tsunade actually knew it better than anyone else, otherwise she wouldn't have acted like a little girl towards Haru a few days ago.

Tsunade lay under the covers, covering her burning cheeks and rolling around.

This wonderful feeling was the first time in her life.

Whenever Tsunade thought of Haru's heroic battle to save her, her heart started beating fast and her heart was pounding.

"What should I do? What should I do? Should I confess my feelings to that idiot?"

"But what if she rejects me?"

"No, that won't happen. I'm so beautiful and I like him. That's the blessing he earned from saving the world in his previous life."

"If he dares to refuse, I will smash his head."

As she spoke, Tsunade became less confident and her voice became smaller.

Because he knew that with Haru's temper, he would really do it.

No, I can't confess. It would be so embarrassing if I get rejected.

Tsunade shook her head like a rattle, strangling the decision.

Moreover, she just read in the beginning of the book "Love Guide":

'Liking someone, confessing to him or her, and being together, everyone thinks it is a very beautiful thing

But that is wrong.

There are also clear power relations between lovers, oppressors and the oppressed, those who are exhausted and those who reap the benefits, winners and losers.

If you want to live a life of luxury, you must not be a loser.

Love is war.

In other words, the person who confesses first is the loser.'

So based on the viewpoint:

she.

Tsunade.

must never confess to Haru first.

If anyone wants to confess, it must be Haru who confesses to her.
