Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 174 Aokiji says he's going to make money.

The next morning.

The sun rose, and sunlight streamed in through the window.

The glaring sunlight made Aokiji frown slightly, and then he reluctantly opened his eyes.

My gaze shifted to the side, and there lay Tsunade, breathing softly, fast asleep.

Aokiji was reluctant to disturb her.

As for why the two of them are now lying in the same bed, that story begins yesterday.

The two, deeply in love, had a great time and ended up partying until night.

Aokiji was worried about Tsunade traveling back to the village in the middle of the night, so for safety reasons, he suggested that they find an inn to stay at.

Since they're a couple, they weren't embarrassed at all; it's normal for them to sleep together.

Although at first the two were a little embarrassed, and even almost had insomnia.

As for whether he did anything in bed, Aokiji said he simply took a nap, nothing more.

Honestly, it would be a lie to say I had no thoughts on it.

If he really wanted it, given their current passionate relationship, Tsunade might just give it to him without much hesitation.

But Aokiji didn't want it.

Firstly, he might feel that Tsunade is indeed a bit too young, and he really couldn't bring himself to do it. Although in this world, twelve or thirteen years old is considered mature, especially in this era, continuing outdated customs, people of that age can get married.

Secondly, he and Tsunade have already made it clear that they will definitely get married in the future, and if possible, he still wants to create more precious memories on their wedding night.

Aokiji carefully went to bed, bought breakfast and snacks, and when he returned to the room, he still accidentally made a noise despite tiptoeing.

Tsunade frowned slightly, her displeasure evident on her face, as she was disturbed by the noise.

Blinking, her sleepy eyes caught sight of Aokiji's figure, and her previously unhappy expression immediately softened.

"Good morning, are you here to sleep with me?"

Tsunade smiled, patted the blankets, making a thumping sound, signaling for someone to come and sleep with her.

Aokiji chuckled, "Are you still half asleep? Didn't we sleep together all night?"

"That's true." Tsunade playfully stuck out her tongue and cutely tapped her head with her little pink fist.

Aokiji was charmed: "Hime-chan is so cute right now."

"This is an expression that only you can see~~ You're lucky."

"Then I am truly blessed."

"whee……"

"Get up and have breakfast."

"No, I want to lie down a little longer."

"You haven't had enough sleep yet?"

"The blanket smells so good because of your scent, I want to lie here a little longer."

"Although I'm happy to hear you say that, your breakfast will get cold if you don't get up, and then you won't be able to buy a hot breakfast."

Aokiji grabbed Tsunade's wrist, trying to pull her up.

A sly glint flashed in Tsunade's eyes. She pulled him back, and Aokiji, caught off guard, lost his balance and almost fell on Tsunade. Fortunately, he managed to brace himself on the bedding at the last moment, and the two were now in an extremely ambiguous position.

"Let's lie in bed a little longer."

Tsunade drew a circle on Aokiji's chest with her hand while saying things that tempted him to commit a crime.

The two had been a couple for some time, and Aokiji was somewhat immune to Tsunade, but he was still tempted without realizing it.

"Stop fooling around, breakfast is going to get cold."

"Stop eating breakfast, eat me instead," Tsunade teased softly.

"???"

"Just kidding, your heart is suddenly beating really fast here." Tsunade placed her hand on Aokiji's chest, revealing a mischievous little devil smile: "Are you shy or something?"

"Have you been reading any weird books lately...?"

"Take a guess, there might be a reward if you guess right!"

"Not interested."

Aokiji declared that he could no longer be led by the nose by Tsunade.

If a girl really lowers her guard and starts flirting, most people can't resist, especially single guys who've been single for a long time.

Tsunade threw a tantrum like a child: "Then I won't get out of bed."

"I just can't do anything with you," Aokiji said with a helpless expression. "If you get up, how about I give you a kiss later?"

"Okay, I'm getting up."

Tsunade responded immediately, and her attitude stunned everyone.

........................

After finishing breakfast, Tsunade nestled in Aokiji's arms, snuggled closer, found a comfortable position, and then, holding a bag of snacks, closed her eyes, opened her small mouth, and let out a long "ah" sound.

Aokiji: "???"

"Peel it open and feed it to me."

"Didn't you just have breakfast?"

Aokiji was speechless.

The snacks he bought for Tsunade weren't for her to have as an after-meal treat, but rather because he was worried she might get hungry on the road and have nothing to eat.

"I'm not full."

Tsunade rubbed her stomach.

Aokiji gave a wry smile: "You eat like a pig, I'm really afraid I won't be able to support you in the future."

Tsunade gave a coquettish snort, "If I were a pig, I'd eat you into bankruptcy."

Aokiji laughed to death; his assets were now worth at least countless suns.

"What good would it do you to bankrupt me?"

"Of course there are benefits."

"What are the benefits?"

"That way, I can take care of you."

Living off a woman?

Upon hearing this, Aokiji immediately lost interest in working hard to make money.

"I'll raise you into a useless person who expects to be waited on hand and foot, so you'll never be able to leave me."

Aokiji: ? ? ?

What a bizarre thought process.

Aokiji tore open the snack packaging, took out the potato chip-like food inside, and handed it to a girl who was used to being fed.

"Mmm..." Tsunade chewed her food with a happy smile on her face.

"Tsunade, when are you going to stick to me?" Aokiji remembered that Tsunade had to return to the village to report. "Don't you have to go back to the village to report?"

Tsunade covered her cheeks with her hands, her face beaming with joy: "It's okay, being a ninja is just a side job. My main job right now is being your girlfriend."

"Hiss~" Aokiji gasped. Oh no, this is the feeling of being smitten.

Tsunade, who was lying in Aokiji's arms, sat up, wrapped her arms around his neck, and leaned closer with a snack dangling from her mouth: "Or have you already gotten tired of me?"

Faced with that look in Tsunade's eyes, which resembled those of an abandoned puppy, Aokiji couldn't resist teasing her. He snatched the snack from Tsunade's mouth at just the right moment, chewed it, and said, "It tastes good."

"Oh, so you actually stole my food when I wasn't looking!" Tsunade said with a playful huff. "Did you pay for it?"

"How much?"

Aokiji found it amusing; he had bought the snacks for Tsunade.

Tsunade leaned forward and lunged forward.

Aokiji was taken aback.

After their lips parted, Tsunade gently touched her lips, a slight prickling on her cheek, her eyes and brows filled with a smile: "Thank you for your patronage, sir."

…………

The two lingered for a while longer before it was time to part ways. If Tsunade didn't return to the village soon, they would have to send people out to look for her.

"I'm leaving now, aren't you going to see me off?"

Tsunade cast a lingering, reluctant glance at her.

Aokiji readily accepted and planned to escort him outside the city.

The two walked side by side for a while when a commotion ahead caught their attention.

"Aokiji, let's go take a look. I don't know when we'll have another chance to meet like this."

This was her last request before parting, and Aokiji had no reason to refuse. He followed her instructions and went to the crowd. After looking around, he discovered that someone was getting married in a high-profile manner and holding a grand banquet.

Looking at the bride in her pristine white wedding dress, Tsunade felt a pang of envy, hoping that one day she could wear such a dress when she entered the marriage hall with Aokiji.

"What's there to envy?"

Aokiji snorted: "It's just calling someone a pervert."

Tsunade shoved Aokiji: "Why are you saying that?"

"Didn't you hear what the wedding emcee said?" Aokiji launched into a tirade.

"Look at the groom's appearance; he could be a grandfather. And look at the bride; she's probably only 18. This old man, in his fifties, has fallen in love with her?"

"This old man actually has the nerve to brag through the wedding emcee."

"From then on, love blossomed in the bride's heart. Since his wife died, the groom had been crying every day and was in a daze. If it weren't for the bride taking care of him all day, he might not have been able to pull himself together."

"So, in response to the bride's love, the groom married her and even took the shoes from her to keep as a memento."

"Wow, there's a stacking buff in between..."

"Only rich people have so much free time to tinker with this kind of stuff..."

Tsunade nudged Aokiji in the waist with her elbow: "Why are you paying attention to these things? Aren't you bored?"

"Am I bored?"

Aokiji shook his finger at Tsunade: "Let me tell you, Tsunade, I don't have time to listen to their bullshit love stories right now. I just want to make money. What's the use of just envying others? I'm going to take action myself and become richer than them!"

"And then I'll give you a bigger and better wedding than this one."

Looking at Aokiji, who was focused on making money for her, Tsunade smiled happily and nudged his shoulder: "Honestly, you should have said so earlier."

After saying that, she affectionately took Aokiji's arm.

Aokiji looked at the groom in the distance, stroked his chin, and revealed a meaningful look in his eyes.

Yeah, I need to make money.
