Chapter 199 Tsunade's Thoughts

In the kitchen, Shizune, who had been peeking out to observe, was relieved to see that the two were at peace again.

However, seeing how much Aoba accommodated Tsunade-sama, she felt a little sour in her heart.

In the living room, Shirokumo Aoba was playing with Tsunade's small feet.

The texture was soft, and the air was filled with the aroma of alcohol.

He occasionally looked up and could see the magnificent sight of its full, curved shape.

A long silence followed.

"Kid, how many girls have you been messing with lately?"

Tsunade opened her eyes again. Although she was talking to Shirakumo Aoba, her eyes were staring blankly at the ceiling.

"Sister Yugao, Tenten, Ino, Sakura..."

Baiyun Qingye recited a long list of names, like reciting a menu.

"Ha! You little rascal, you're quite frank."

Tsunade listened and couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

"Not only has it attracted so many little girls, but now even teachers are eyeing it."

“Teacher, not now…” Shirokumo Aoba refuted the flaw in Tsunade’s words.

"What do you mean?" Tsunade was stunned for a moment.

Bai Yunqingye said with a smile, "To be precise, I've had my eye on it for a long time."

"Ha!" Tsunade laughed in exasperation.

Now that the brat has made it clear, he's not even going to act anymore.

"Kid, do you know how old I am this year?"

Age has always been a taboo subject for Tsunade. Normally, she would get angry if anyone mentioned her age, but now she had to bring it up herself.

"Do teachers really care that much about age?"

Baiyun Qingye countered with a question.

"I'm already a fifty-year-old woman."

Tsunade's face was grim. She really didn't want to admit that she was an old woman, but it was indeed the truth.

Once she's dissuaded that brat from his idea, she'll definitely teach him a lesson.

"But the teacher doesn't look fifty years old, he looks eighteen."

Tsunade gave him a disapproving look. "That's because of the Yin Seal. If it weren't for the Yin Seal, I would have been an old woman by now!"

Baiyun Qingye said directly, "Then why doesn't Teacher just keep maintaining the Yin Seal? That way, Teacher will be eighteen years old forever."

"You little rascal, you say you like me, but you're really just lusting after me!"

Tsunade was getting a little angry.

"Teacher, most of the liking in this world starts with lust at first sight."

Baiyun Qingye knows very well what kind of person she is.

"So, the fact that I came to like the teacher is actually your own fault, teacher."

"Is it my fault?" Tsunade was a little confused.

"Yes, if my teacher had been an old woman when she took me as her disciple, I definitely wouldn't have fallen for her."

"What did you say?! You perverted little brat!"

Tsunade was already gritting her teeth, and her full breasts began to heave violently.

It was clearly this brat who was lustful at first sight, yet now he's blaming her.

But Baiyun Qingye remained as usual.

Seeing that the other party remained unmoved, Tsunade felt even angrier and more annoyed.

But there's nothing we can do; he has a mind of his own, and it's his freedom to think whatever he wants.

"Kid, the age gap between us is too big!"

Tsunade said through gritted teeth.

"So, is age the only issue?" Baiyun Qingye asked again.

"Don't you understand?" Tsunade's tone became stern.

"I'm not like Xiyan and Jingyin. They're only ten years older than you, but I'm thirty years older than you, so give up and stop having feelings for me!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Yunqingye pursed her lips.

"Teacher, for human beings, love can transcend age and status."

In some places, it's even possible to transcend race...

"Hmph!" Tsunade snorted coldly.

"But I have no feelings for you. I only see you as my disciple. Unrequited love is not love."

"..."

Tsunade's words caused Shirokumo Aoba to fall silent.

He was actually mentally prepared for this result.

His main purpose in coming here was to ascertain Tsunade's true thoughts.

It now seems that the only thing standing between the two is their age difference.

As for Tsunade saying she only considered him a disciple, just take it with a grain of salt.

Her foot was still in his hand.

What teacher would so naturally place their feet in their disciple's lap?

Especially since this student had just confessed his feelings to her...

However, due to the constraints of various rules and regulations, Tsunade herself has not yet been able to sort out these feelings.

Or rather, even if she knew, she didn't dare to admit it.

After all, there's a significant age gap between them.

However, the ninja world is not without ways to prolong life.

Hundreds of years later, their ages will be only slightly different.

"I understand, teacher. I will listen to you and let it go."

After a moment of silence, Bai Yunqingye nodded, deciding to take a step back to move forward.

"It's good that you understand. They are all nice girls, and they are more worthy of your pursuit."

Seeing this, Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief, but for some reason, she felt a little uncomfortable.

This kid just talked about transcending age and status, and now he's just giving up like that...

Isn't this a scumbag?

"Can the teacher pretend I wasn't here tonight? Let's just act like before."

Baiyun Qingye's gaze was earnest.

Tsunade was at a loss for words.

a long time.

She picked up a wine glass from the tatami mat.

After taking a sip of liquor, her face turned even redder.

"I'm a little drunk."

After saying that, Tsunade turned to the side and closed her eyes.

Seeing Tsunade's flushed face, Shirakumo Aoba also smiled.

It's fine to maintain this status quo for now.

We can't rush things.

After he had had his fill of playing with her, he released Tsunade's delicate feet.

They found another blanket for Tsunade to cover herself with.

He stood there, gazing at Tsunade's adorable, blushing face for a while.

After a few breaths, he couldn't help but reach out his hand.

He gently pinched Tsunade's slightly chubby cheek with his fingers, feeling a slight burning sensation at his fingertips.

Tsunade was still pretending to be drunk and didn't open her eyes.

Her previously steady breathing became slightly disordered, and her long eyelashes began to tremble slightly.

After thinking for a while, Shirokumo Aoba finally bent down and approached Tsunade.

Sensing the other person's increasingly heavy breathing, he did not push his luck.

He simply gave the other person a light kiss on their burning cheek.

Goodnight, teacher.

After all these years, a little more time won't make a difference.

He can tell the difference between being full at one meal and being full at every meal.

Baiyun Qingye went to the kitchen.

"Sister Shizune, I'll head back now."

"Aoba, are you and Lady Tsunade alright?"

Shizune took Baiyun Qingye's hand, her expression full of concern.

"Don't worry, it's just a small thing, the teacher isn't angry anymore."

"That's good……"

Mute breathed a sigh of relief.

After Baiyun Qingye left.

Tsunade opened her eyes on the sofa.

She stared at the ceiling, touching the spot where Bai Yunqingye had just kissed her, lost in thought.

After a while, she suddenly came to her senses and gritted her teeth.

"That brat! He actually pinched my face with the hand that touched my foot!"
