Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 103 Maid

Chapter 103 Maid (Two Chapters Combined)

Tsunade frowned deeply and asked several servants about the creature's connection to her. After confirming that it was not contagious, she took out the gloves she had prepared and put them on. She touched the creature's skin, and the slimy texture made it completely unlike anything human.

Tsunade gave him a brief examination; she had never encountered anything like this before.

Tsunade breathed a sigh of relief. The one who tied the knot must untie it. She decided to take down the culprit who caused all this first.

According to the intelligence they obtained, although the monster on the other side is strong, she and Aokiji should be able to handle it together without much trouble.

Having figured this out, Tsunade left the place, crossed the street, and entered a shop called Chocolate & Vanilla.

The interior is elegantly decorated, and customers come in a steady stream, so business seems to be quite good.

"Welcome back, Master."

The moment Tsunade pushed open the door, a girl came up to her with a light and cheerful voice, like a gentle breeze. If an office worker heard this, he would surely feel happy and relieve his fatigue.

Tsunade frowned and glanced at her. The person was wearing an apron with ruffles, a pink cat headband, and a cat tail with bells attached to it.

Most importantly, she also has a pair of full breasts that are visible even through her apron.

Tsunade is jealous.

Hmph, vulgar.

The maid's ears twitched, and she said with a smile, "Young Miss, are you looking for someone?"

Tsunade looked surprised, her face saying, "How did you know?"

"Boy friend?"

Cat Girl's face showed a gossipy smile.

"Uh, uh—no, that's not right!"

Tsunade blushed slightly and quickly shook her head: "He's just an ordinary friend, I just asked him for a favor."

I'm sorry.

"It's alright." Tsunade readily forgave her.

The cat maid pointed to a spot not far away.

Following the direction of her finger, Tsunade saw a boy chatting and laughing with a girl dressed as a maid. Feeling betrayed, she clenched her fists, her eyes blazing with fury, and stomped towards Aokiji, looking like she was about to catch him in the act.

Aokiji, completely unaware of Tsunade's arrival, waved at her as if courting death, "Oh, isn't this Tsunade? Finished with your business?"

"I'm working hard, while you're having a really good time."

The sound of Tsunade gritting her teeth could be heard as if she could crush a walnut.

Faced with Tsunade's explosive questioning, Aokiji chose to back down, got up from his seat, and moved closer to Tsunade, pulling out a chair: "The mission must have been tiring, come and have something to eat to relax."

Seeing that he took the initiative to admit his mistake, Tsunade softened and her anger subsided considerably. She plopped down in a chair and said, "Hmph, at least you have some conscience."

After saying that, Tsunade started eating in big mouthfuls as if venting her anger. Halfway through, she suddenly remembered something. Wait, has Aokiji ever eaten this?

If so, then wouldn't she be indirectly kissing?

"Don't worry, I haven't eaten it."

Tsunade gave a listless "oh".

"How does it taste?"

Ignoring the cat-eared maid passing by, Tsunade nodded approvingly, "So-so."

"Oh, I forgot to mention, I didn't use the ninjutsu to make the egg rolls taste better. Wait a minute, I'll order another one. With your appetite, another meal won't hurt."

Tsunade looked completely bewildered.

What kind of ninjutsu can make food taste better? I've never heard of such a thing.

Under her skeptical gaze, Aokiji snapped his fingers, summoned a maid, gave her a few brief instructions, and the maid left, returning shortly afterward.

"Master, thank you for waiting. This is the strawberry cake ordered by the second person."

"It looks quite appetizing."

When Tsunade saw the cake being served, she asked, "But what was that ninjutsu that makes food taste better?"

"Don't rush."

Aokiji glanced sideways, and the cat maid understood immediately. Facing the cake, she raised her hands above her head, seemingly preparing some kind of move.

Tsunade's eyes widened, casting an expectant gaze.

The cat maid lowered her hands and made a heart shape in front of her chest, "Melo melo is so cute, become delicious!"

It has to be admitted that speaking these words in a high-pitched voice, coupled with the cat maid outfit, is incredibly cute and adorable.

but.

What does it matter if it tastes good?

They just shouted it out loud.

Tsunade stood frozen in place. She was certain that she hadn't sensed any chakra ripples just now. In other words, she had just struck a pose and uttered that embarrassing line.

She was speechless for a moment.

"Okay, you can eat now."

Under the lavish hospitality, Tsunade's lips twitched as she took a bite of cake, just to show for it.

From a taste perspective, this has absolutely nothing to do with this melo, melo.

Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Aokiji and saw that Aokiji looked at him as if he were mentally challenged.

After finishing the cake, Tsunade, considering the shop's decor and service style, pressed her lips to the rim of her cup and asked about the price with great interest.

After she finished speaking, she took a sip of water to moisten her throat.

"It's alright, nothing special..."

Aokiji said a number, and Tsunade immediately sprayed water, splashing it all over someone's face.

"Master, please come again next time."

After paying the bill and walking a distance from the maid café, Tsunade rolled her eyes and said with a look of disdain:

"Are you out of your mind? This is such an ordinary but expensive item, and you still come here to spend money? Do you think you have too much money?"

Qing replied calmly, "Well, it's different. It's mainly about the atmosphere."

"The atmosphere is ghostly; I think you're lustful."

Aokiji: ...

Tsunade said sarcastically, "You can sell ordinary things for such a high price just by wearing a maid outfit. If I wore a maid outfit and cooked for you, would you pay me too?"

"sure."

Tsunade, her eyes glazed over, realized she'd shot herself in the foot. "W-what a joke! I was just saying it casually. Why would I wear clothes like this? To please you, isn't it?"

"I can pay more."

Aokiji cast a sincere glance and clasped his hands together: "I really want to see Tsunade wear a maid outfit and say 'melomelo, so cute,' and 'become delicious!'"

"Even adding money won't work."

Tsunade was furious. He wasn't Aokiji, who would do anything for money. She was a woman of principle.

"Besides, the atmosphere you described is all fake. These girls are just putting on a fake professional smile because they're forced to make a living. How could a normal person wear such a smile every day?"

Aokiji said calmly, "I know."

"Then why..."

Aokiji's gaze was profound: "We must face the deception we have suffered, because this world is built on deception."

Tsunade was taken aback, her pupils dilating as she stared at Aokiji.

Although I couldn't understand it very well, it sounded quite profound.

Seeing Tsunade's surprised expression, Aokiji smiled without saying a word, remaining enigmatic.

Tsunade snapped out of her daze, scratching her head: "Considering that you can occasionally say something so profound, and that you've begged me, I'll reluctantly agree to let you dress up as a maid."

Aokiji's eyes lit up, wondering what she was up to: "Really?"

Tsunade blushed slightly: "But we'll still have to pay for it then."

Aokiji's excited expression didn't last long; he scratched his head and said, "Never mind..."

Tsunade's eyes widened: "Hey, you promised to pay me, why are you going back on your word?"

Aokiji shook his head: "It's not about the money. I'm just worried that if you wear it, it will ruin my beautiful fantasy about maid outfits."

After saying that, he turned his gaze to Tsunade's figure, which resembled a telephone pole.

In a few months, Tsunade will be 13 years old, and her body will probably experience a period of explosive growth. At that time, I guess I won't be able to use Tsunade's flat chest as an excuse to say that I don't like her anymore.

Tsunade, having been secretly and openly implanted with a lung tube, flew into a rage and relentlessly pursued Aokiji.

…………

The objective of this mission is to operate near Ins Island, located east of the Land of Fire.

There is no country on the island, only one village called Mousse.

Because of its location at sea, the village was spared from the effects of wars between major powers.

However, due to its remoteness and inconvenient transportation, the island's inhabitants live in poverty. To obtain resources, they must fish and then transport their catch to the Land of Fire in exchange for resources.

Life is a bit tight, but we're managing.

But these good days only lasted for a short time. With the appearance of that monster in the surrounding area, everything changed. Because they dared not set sail and trade ceased, the village became increasingly poor.

The thought of such a monster wreaking havoc on the region filled Tsunade with a strong sense of mission as she embarked on this mission.

As they disembarked and docked, the sun was already setting. Tsunade and Aokiji decided to find a place to stay for a while to rest and recuperate, preparing to find that monster the next day and take it down in one fell swoop.

The villagers on the shore seemed to notice the two's arrival and hurried forward.

Just as Tsunade was about to introduce herself, she suddenly saw a surprising scene: all the villagers had strange skin colors, and some of them even had fish-scale-like blue scales on their bodies.

"Tsunade, look at their necks."

Aokiji nudged Tsunade's arm with his elbow and spoke up to remind her.

Even without Aokiji's reminder, Tsunade had already noticed that a strangely shaped creature, somewhat resembling an octopus, was clinging to her neck, and its round eyes were moving around. This sight sent chills down her spine.

Aokiji gasped, a sense of fear creeping into his heart: "Tsunade, is it too late for me to back out now?"

Tsunade did not respond.

At this moment, a villager shouted sternly, "Get out of here! You are not welcome here!"

Tsunade introduced herself, stating her identity and purpose for being there.

Logically speaking, upon hearing that the two had come to help them eliminate the monster, the villagers, if not moved to tears of gratitude, should at least not speak ill of them.

Unexpectedly, these people not only didn't appreciate it, but also told the two of them to get lost. This left Tsunade and Aokiji completely bewildered, to the point that they instinctively looked at the disgusting thing on their necks, and even drew their shuriken to kill one of them, but then thought better of it.

This thing is connected to the neck after all; what if killing it affects the host?

Tsunade and Aokiji exchanged a glance and decided to leave first.

Suddenly, an old voice came and told them to wait. Looking in that direction, the villagers automatically parted to make way for a man wearing a hood.

If you look closely at his face, you'll be horrified to find that he looks exactly like the fish-man creature Tsunade saw before. The villagers respectfully call him the village chief.

Aokiji laughed and said, "Looks like we've found a reasonable fellow."

Tsunade explained her origins to the village chief again. This time, the village chief was not as hostile as the previous villagers. Instead, he said calmly, "Come along," as if he had something to discuss privately.

The two followed silently behind.

Before long, the two arrived at a house.

Tsunade couldn't help but ask about the situation here, and was puzzled as to why the people here were so hostile towards her, even though she had come here to help them.

The village chief explained slowly.

It turns out that the people here are so sensitive because they think outsiders will discriminate against them because of their appearance.

As for the thing around the neck, it was the monster's cub. Ever since that monster appeared and started causing havoc in the sea, some unlucky fishermen were possessed while fishing, which led to the scene just now.

These young parasitize their hosts, constantly consuming their life force. Eventually, these young will detach themselves and be replaced by humans who will become deformed and unrecognizable.

Just as they see it now.

However, if it is separated without authorization, the host's life will be in danger.

Upon hearing that the two had come to subdue the monster, the village chief immediately bowed and thanked them, saying, "If you two can truly subdue this monster, then you will be great heroes of Mousse Village."

Tsunade was a very chivalrous person. Upon hearing about the tragedy in the village, she was immediately filled with righteous indignation and vowed to kill the monster and eliminate any future troubles.

Since Tsunade was so enthusiastic, Aokiji couldn't help but chime in, and, in a fit of fervor, declared that he also wanted to eliminate this monster.

The village chief was moved to tears and prepared two rooms for the two of them to rest.

Aokiji waved his hand and laughed, "No need to trouble yourself, one room is enough. She's my girlfriend."

"???" Tsunade stared wide-eyed at Aokiji, who was scratching his head, looking slightly embarrassed.

Tsunade was a beat slow to react, but she realized what was happening.

This is a kind of code. During missions, ninjas often encounter situations where they cannot speak. In such cases, nonverbal cues and eye contact become especially important.

Aokiji yawned, "We've been tossed around on the boat for so long, we can finally get some rest. Village chief, could you show us our rooms first?"

The village chief said there was no problem and immediately arranged people for the two of them. Before long, Tsunade and Aokiji were placed in a small hut.

"These are food and water. If you need more, just call out from outside and someone will bring them in right away."

The village chief pointed to several dishes of food on the table in the room and began to speak.

Aokiji thanked him and closed the door.

Before Tsunade could speak, Aokiji put a finger to his lips, signaling her to be quiet, and pointed to the walls on both sides, meaning to be careful of eavesdroppers.

Tsunade frowned, not understanding what she meant.

Aokiji took out a blank scroll from his backpack and wrote a few lines on it: "Be careful, I have a feeling this village chief isn't telling the truth."

After writing this line, he handed the pen to Tsunade so she could write.

Tsunade: What do you mean?

Aokiji: Don't you think these people were hostile towards me just now? It was as if they didn't want me to be here.

Tsunade: Didn't the village chief just explain that?

Aokiji: Who knows if it's true?

Tsunade: Then what do you suggest we do?

Aokiji: Just do as I say.

Tsunade: Okay.

After a brief exchange, the two began a rehearsal.

That night, it was late and quiet.

Inside the room, the creaking sound of a rocking bed could be heard.

Tsunade watched with puzzlement as Aokiji kept rocking the bed. She dared not speak or ask, for fear of disturbing Aokiji's plans.
