Konoha's Love Master

Hinata Muye tightened his hands around her waist, buried his face in her red hair, and whispered, "I am now the squad leader of the security team, but Mikoto is the only one willing to be my subordinate."

Just one simple sentence made Kushina's gaze towards Uchiha Mikoto change from vigilance to gratitude.

"Thank you, Mikoto."

She reached out and grasped Uchiha Mikoto's hand.

“No… no need…”

Uchiha Mikoto, who was burdened with the task of seduction, stuttered, her brain seemed to have frozen.

However, the carefree Kushina obviously didn't notice anything unusual about her best friend, and was instead extremely moved.

"Mikoto, you're so kind!"

She held Uchiha Mikoto's hand tightly, causing Uchiha Mikoto's face to turn red, as if she was facing a social death scene.

"Kushina, how's Tsunade doing?"

Hinata Muye changed the subject.

Kushina shifted her attention when she heard this, her face becoming anxious: "I came to you because Sister Tsunade is not right now!"

"What's up with her?"

Wu Ye’s heart skipped a beat.

Kushina said, "She opened the wine cellar and almost drank all the wine in it!"

Hiruga Muya: "..."

"Mikoto, I won't be going to the guard team for the next while, and I won't be looking for you. You can just patrol normally with them."

He pulled Kushina to her feet and pretended to leave.

"Wait," Uchiha Mikoto couldn't help but call him, "Captain, is there nothing you need me to do?"

"Nothing..."

Hinata Muye hadn't finished speaking when he noticed Uchiha Mikoto's slightly disappointed expression, and couldn't help but change the subject: "How about this, when you have time, help me keep an eye out for who is behind the scenes directing public opinion and throwing dirty water on Tsunade."

Uchiha Mikoto felt relieved: "Yes."

Afterwards, Hinata Muye and Kushina left together.

Uchiha Mikoto looked at their backs, sat back down, and slowly drank her hawthorn tea.

She knew that Hinata Muye didn't expect her to find out anything, but she still wanted to try her best.

This way, she could also put off the Great Elder and avoid being urged to hook up with her best friend's man all day long.

Even if it's a beauty trap, you have to keep her hanging, okay?

How can you ask for something for free?

Uchiha Mikoto curled her lips and propped up her head, lost in thought.

"What should I do? I can't grasp the trend of public opinion in the village by myself. Only the tribesmen in the security team can help. But it is absolutely impossible for them to help Hinata Muye, not to mention that I have to ask for it."

“Even if we ask the Great Elder to give us an order, they won’t do it seriously.”

"Unless you can come up with a way to get them to do it voluntarily..."

Uchiha Mikoto's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Maybe we can say that we are dealing with Hinata Muya, so let's check who is also slandering him behind his back, and we can all cooperate."

"But it seems strange for me to say this myself."

One candidate after another floated through her mind, but was rejected by her again, and finally stopped on a figure with his chin upturned.

"It seems that I can only ask Uchiha Shinsuke, he will definitely be happy to help, hehe..."

Uchiha Mikoto covered her mouth and snickered like a little fox.

But then her smile faded and she reached out to touch her smooth cheek: "Is it really okay to deceive and use my own people for him?"

"This will turn you into a bad woman..."

Uchiha Mikoto lay on the table, falling into self-doubt...

Chapter 208 Accompanying Tsunade

"I'll just go by myself."

Without Kushina accompanying him, Hinata Muye walked towards Tsunade's residence in the backyard alone.

"You don't have to follow."

He waved to the maid who was leading the way to leave, then pushed open the door of Tsunade's room.

But apart from seeing wine bottles all over the floor, there was no sight of that familiar figure.

Wu Ye frowned, walked through the back corridor and came to the spacious bathroom, only to see the floor still full of bottles and cans.

"Roll your eyes."

He simply opened his eyes and looked around, only to find that Tsunade was in the cherry blossom garden behind the bathroom.

That was the most beautiful scenery in the Senju mansion left for Tsunade, the cherry blossom garden that occupied half of the space.

The cherry blossom season is very short, but now is the season when the cherry blossoms have just bloomed and the cherry blossoms will dance in the wind.

Wu Ye closed his eyes and walked in, stepping on the cherry blossoms on the ground, making a slight rustling sound.

Soon Tsunade's figure came into view.

She sat alone at the root of a tree, leaning against a clean trunk.

He held the bottle of wine in one hand and supported his head with the other.

From time to time, she raised her wrist to take a sip of wine and just looked ahead.

The gaze is out of focus, yet magical.

Not drunk.

"What are you doing?"

Hinata Muye walked straight over and half-knelt down in front of her so that his eyes were level with hers.

He thought he would see a drunk Tsunade, a sleepy Tsunade, a disheveled Tsunade, but he didn't expect to see such a strange Tsunade.

She did not wear a ninja vest, but simply a dark green robe, which should be the one she often wore with the word "gamble" embroidered on the back.

She was not wearing the outer robe as usual, but a tightly wrapped yukata, as if she had just come out of the bath.

Because of the outer robe, her body curves are not obvious.

Of course, Hinata Muye’s mind was not here at all.

"I?"

When Tsunade heard his voice, she raised her eyes without any joy or sadness, without the joy that subconsciously appeared when she saw him.

"Isn't it obvious?"

She pointed at the bottles of wine on the floor, raised her red lips, and smiled self-deprecatingly: "I'm in a bad mood, so I drink to relieve my sorrow."

Faced with Tsunade like this, Hinata Muye suddenly couldn't control her thoughts.

"Then I'll drink with you."

He simply sat down with her on the tree root where she was sitting, and with a flick of his hand, he took the bottle of wine from Tsunade's hand and pretended to pour it into his mouth.

But Tsunade suddenly held his hand, and her gaze towards his profile changed slightly: "Don't you... hate the smell of alcohol the most?"

Wuye grabbed her hand with his other hand, raised the bottle of wine, and took a sip without caring that it was Tsunade who had drunk it.

A spicy taste instantly hits the throat...

"This smell is still so disgusting."

He curled his lips.

Tsunade looked at him silently for a long time, until Wuye slowly finished the bottle of wine in his hand, then stopped him from taking the bottle again and sighed softly: "Don't drink, alcohol can only numb the nerves, but it can't reduce the pain... Just talk to me."

"Ah."

Hinata Muye put down the bottle, turned around, and leaned against the tree trunk with her.

"I know you are sad because of the slander against you by others, but that doesn't really matter. Give me some time and the gossip will surely die down."

He reached out and removed the cherry blossom petals that fell on Tsunade's head, and said softly: "People's praise or criticism is not worth our concern, otherwise everything we do is just for the eyes of others, and we will be bound by that."

Tsunade felt his gentle actions and voice, and a hint of tenderness flashed in her eyes.

She tilted her head, just staring at his profile, and said softly: "Wu Ye, no one doesn't want to be respected. This is human nature."

"I know."

Hinata Muye didn't look at her, but just watched the white clouds flying away through the gaps between the pale pink cherry trees.

"Freedom and respect are the most important pursuits in human nature," he said softly.

Tsunade hugged her knees and smiled bitterly: "Wuye, many people envy my life experience, but they don't know what I lost."

She pursed her lips and put her head on her knees: "Except for gambling and drinking, there is no freedom at other times. Everything I do must be considered my status. And until now... the respect I have always maintained, the respect the villagers have for me and Qianshou, has also been destroyed..."

"It's not that serious," Hinata Wuye shook his head, "Someone is behind the scenes fanning the flames and directing public opinion to slander you, with the goal of forcing you to leave Konoha."

"I know…"

Tsunade had a sarcastic smile on her face: "Now I have become an obstacle for them to control the village."

Wuye hesitated for a moment, then said: "And Kushina..."

"No, this is none of Kushina's business."

Tsunade suddenly stretched out her hand to interrupt him and said, "Wuye, in the final analysis, they just don't trust us, don't trust Kushina, don't trust you. They are more accustomed to eliminating unstable factors."

She raised her head, looked at Hinata Wuye seriously and said: "If you take that position in the future, you must learn to trust your companions. Only when everyone's strength is gathered together can we resist risks and make the village better and better."

"Internal fighting... heh..."

Tsunade looked in the direction of the Hokage Rock with a sarcastic expression.

Wu Ye was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm actually not very interested in that position, if it weren't for the fact that they did such a bad job... well, it was too bad."

Thinking about what the Third Generation and Danzo would do in the next ten years or so, he felt very bad.

Especially the third generation, who clearly had the best of intentions for Konoha, but what he did was to continuously weaken Konoha.

Danzo is fine, he can be considered a spy from another country...

"Even if it's not for the village, you have to fight for that position if you don't want to lose Kushina," Tsunade stared into his eyes and said, "Believe me, the Sandaime will never give the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki to anyone other than the Kage, because that would make it impossible for the next Hokage to control the village."

"I know…"

Hinata Wuye's eyes were cold and gloomy: "I hope it won't come to the point of a coup d'état."

"coup?!"

Tsunade was surprised instead: "Why would you have such an idea?"

Wuye said in a low voice: "Because I absolutely cannot accept Kushina leaving me!"

Tsunade had mixed feelings.

She just looked at this person, the person who had messed up everything for her.

"Wu Ye, what do you want? What do you want to do?" she asked softly.

Hinata Wuye was stunned: "What do you want to know?"

Tsunade pursed her red lips and said, "You can consider a coup for Kushina, but what if the Hokage and the others want to deal with the Hyuga clan?"

"Suppress the family? I had a hunch," Wuye shook his head and said, "The Uchiha clan is at the forefront. The Hyuga clan never fights for power, so they won't be targeted."

Tsunade shook her head slowly, "But the Hyuga clan has a tougher leader than anyone has ever seen."

Hiruga Muya's face changed...
