The dream came unexpectedly.

"Let's go."

"I didn't expect that all the Genin would pass this time - Kakashi and the others are quite discerning!"

Tsunade smiled and silently increased the strength of her hands.

"You said so, Neji."

"You also want to see who are the Genin who will be taking part in the Chunin Exam this year, right? Surprisingly!"

The woman increased the strength of her hands, but her expression remained unchanged, and she looked at Uchiha Itachi in a very relaxed manner.

"And this kid's younger brother is here! How old is he this year? If he graduates this year, he will be twelve years old!"

Itachi also forced a smile: "Yes, yes, when Sasuke was a child, he would climb over the wall to play from time to time."

"Ningji, you've seen that kid with the spiky hair. He's grown up over the years and rarely appears."

"Yes, yes, I couldn't even pull it before - OK, let's go!"

The person Tsunade is facing now, who she can't even pull, is not Uchiha Sasuke, but Hyuga Neji.

Or should we just act coquettishly?

Tsunade winked at Itachi.

Failing at critical moments is a common trait of all human beings.

The more critical the moment, the more pressure there will be, which is normal.

What's more, these are people I haven't seen for nearly thirty years, and a lot of stimulation from the outside world, which has been somewhat discontinued.

However, we must not give up at this time and let it go with the flow.

But it must be said that Neji did seem to be more energetic these past few days - at least when Tsunade tried to pull the boy up with relatively gentle force, the man was able to curl up in the recliner with a slight advantage.

It is better to let them rise willingly.

If you overdo it, the result will be more harm than good.

Tsunade planned this.

The most useful and effective attack strategy in this battle is always the unexpected one.

behave in a spoiled manner.

Just like the initial victory, it was somewhat inexplicable and hard-won.

But after all, it is not a long-term solution.

If one day even the last resort doesn't work - then there's really nothing you can do.

...

"What's there is definitely not a scourge or a monster."

Something that everyone knows and everyone's reason can perceive.

But people do not only know, they also do many other things.

It took Uchiha Sasuke six years to truly treat his brother Itachi as a human being.

It took Tsunade nearly ten years to separate blood from the death of important people.

Itachi no longer sees himself as a monster, now that he is an adult.

It doesn't matter even if it's a little slower.

Just move forward slowly.

"We'll all be there for you."

The woman no longer used force, but instead gently embraced the boy in her arms, just like when she first met him.

"It's okay... You won't be alone..."

Tsunade may understand Neji.

On the contrary, it would be better to be alone - Tsunade had had this thought before.

During her darkest time, during the time when she hated the world the most.

She always selfishly and paranoidly thought that it would be great if she were really alone.

It has nothing to do with anyone.

In this way, she can leave this world peacefully and comfortably without disturbing anyone.

But there are always a few people who will definitely be sad if I'm gone.

And this "mysterious man" in front of her, who may appear at any time, is mysterious and even Tsunade cannot define his relationship with her.

Maybe I can still see him?

Someday in the future.

And this day has indeed arrived.

"Even if you don't wish this, our group will still chase after you relentlessly."

Tsunade's words turned weird.

"Even if the initial feelings will fade away with the passage of time - so what?"

"I believe you know what kind of people we are."

The young man in Tsunade's arms trembled noticeably, and his head popped out from Tsunade's arms.

But it is definitely not facing forward, but a dark and round back of the head.

It moved up and down for less than a millimeter, then drilled back in as if it had died in the light.

"The thing that is most lacking in the world is things that are scarier than death."

"For me, it is better to owe others favors or have regrets than to..."

"I'll just go."

This time the part that is turned over is the front side.

He looked like he was being threatened, his face full of grievance.

"Don't say it."

When the silkworm pupa is molting, at first it is just a head, and then the whole body appears.

The difficulty of standing up seems to have become a thing of the past, and now is the era of slow walking.

Tsunade's passive movement method is a bit awkward and unreasonable, but unexpectedly useful.

Although Itachi was squatting in the corner drawing circles with some inexplicable frustration, Tsunade has always been good at encouraging people.

"Every profession has its own specialty! If everyone could do it, then what would we need medical ninjas for?"

"If I could always make the right choice, I wouldn't need to practice!"

She looks careless, but is always very reliable at critical moments: "It is because of you here that I can practice with peace of mind and return with accomplishments."

"Without you guys sticking around here, I would never have seen him again."

Just a few words were enough to bring a man who was still a little depressed back to normal.

Although still somewhat precarious, it has clearly returned to a recoverable range.

"Should I say that she is worthy of being the granddaughter of the first generation and the direct disciple of the third generation..."

Even Uchiha Itachi had to admit that this guy was definitely born to be Hokage.

If something unexpected happens to the Sandaime at this critical juncture...

There is no doubt that the fifth generation will be Tsunade's piece of cake.

...

"About that..."

It was hard for Itachi not to recall the scene of Tsunade comforting him - this was what was called the art of using people.

Very good, he is almost Tsunade's now, even if it's more emotionally.

That thing was naturally what Neji had mentioned before, something bad that would happen to Tsunade during the Chunin Exam.

But for Neji, what made him excited was a disaster.

"We'll take it one step at a time...but if it really comes to that, I won't sit idly by."

"No matter what, I am your student. Besides, I will never leave any regrets for myself."

The gown was transferred from Tsunade's forearm to Neji's shoulders.

"It's not the season to go out in single clothes yet."

As she said this, she took out a few blankets from the closet, as if she was planning to take them all with her.

"Although the teacher is old, his ability to take care of people has not been trained at all by his reckless grandson..."

"You don't even have to think about it to know that he has nothing there..."

"The happiness of life is now in my hands!"

No, this was not his happiness.

Well, being worried about is not a bad feeling at all - it's just a little bit disconcerting.

So the boy chose to keep silent.

Tsunade would not let him interfere, so standing aside like a background board was the best option now.

He would neither allow his emotions to fester nor say anything that would hurt Tsunade.

The woman has been inexplicably happy since he agreed.

"The Hyuga clan leader is really generous..."

The next person to be mentioned is most likely Hinata.

"The eldest daughter of the main family has not yet grown up to the level of being able to participate in the Chunin Exams - but in terms of teamwork, the class led by Yuhi Kurenai is still barely passable."

"This is just the right thickness... Mmm! It even smells like the sun."

Itachi obediently took the item that Tsunade had selected and stuffed it into the spatial scroll: "Rather than being careless, it's better to say that I don't care."

"Even if the eldest lady died in the Chunin Exam, it would only allow her younger sister Hanabi to legitimately become the head of the family."

Neji agreed with Itachi's words, and even his later request to become Hinata's personal trainer was just a means to win over the branch family.

Hanabi had always been taught by Hiashi himself.

Every movement, every use of chakra, was copied according to Hiashi's model.

"She will probably pass it smoothly."

Neji's sudden words stimulated the two of them and made them shudder.

Hyuga Neji had no intention of hiding anything.

The two looked at each other.

Tsunade winked: As expected, he was the one who took part in the Chunin Exam this year.

Itachi nodded frantically in his heart: And he definitely did something to Hinata.
