Tenten, who knew the danger of an S-rank mission, expressed her anger! As siblings, she was truly afraid of losing Ren, her older brother!
"Okay, don't be angry, Tenten, I'm fine!" Ren coaxed Tenten for a while, but it still had no effect.
It was getting late. The three of them walked down the streets of Konoha. When they arrived at his home, Ren said goodbye to Tsunade.
"Lady Tsunade, I'll take Tenten home first."
"Hmm..."
"Is there anything else, Lady Tsunade?"
Tsunade suddenly had a revelation. "Ren, why don't I stay at your house for a few days?!"
Even Ren couldn't help but be surprised by Tsunade's remarks.
"Welcome!"
"No!" Tenten, who had been sulking, immediately dismissed Tsunade's audacious suggestion! She looked at Tsunade up and down with suspicious eyes, feeling that the rumored Lady Tsunade... might have ulterior motives for her brother!
"Tenten, don't make trouble." Ren reached out and patted Tenten's head, then turned to Tsunade and said, "Please don't mind Tenten's words, Lady Tsunade, she's just a kid."
"If Lady Tsunade wishes to stay at my house for a while, it's my honor." Ren stretched out his hand and gestured for Tsunade to walk in the direction of his house.
Tsunade also nodded, not minding Tenten's words, and walked forward on her own.
"Brother, she..."
Tenten wanted to say more, but Ren shook his head: "Tenten, you're thinking too much."
Of course, Ren knew what Tenten was thinking, but... how was this possible? What bad thoughts could the "Big Fat Sheep" possibly have? She just knew that the early bird catches the worm... Well, she just wanted to be able to find Ren at any time when she lost money at the casino, and pull him in as a helper to win it back.
"Lady Tsunade, do you want to call Shizune to my house for a while?"
"She..." Tsunade hesitated. "Although she traveled the Ninja World with me when she was young, she also has some friends in Konoha..."
"Forget it, don't call her. Let her chat with people she used to know in Konoha these days." After speaking, Tsunade whispered again... "If she knew I was going to the casino in Konoha, she would yell at me..."
'Oh, the shame! Is this the real reason behind it?!'
"Lady Tsunade, this is my home."
After a few steps, the group arrived at Ren's house.
"Hey, your home is quite big..." Tsunade remarked. "Isn't it the mansion you bought with the money your kid won at the casino?"
Tenten's head was filled with black lines. The legendary Sannin, Lady Tsunade, who changed the ninja system and made medical ninjas flourish... The image in Tenten's heart completely collapsed.
"My family owns the biggest ninja tool shop in Konoha! How could we get rich from my brother's gambling?!" Tenten said with some dissatisfaction.
Tsunade glanced at Ren in surprise... 'This guy... quietly, he's a rich kid!'
Ren smiled. "Lady Tsunade, please!"
The three entered the house one after another. As soon as he entered the house, Tatsuo and Keiko, Ren's parents, heard the sound.
"Ren, where did you take Tenten so late?"
"Hey, this is..." Seeing Tsunade, the old couple were a little surprised. Ren... brought back a woman! This woman was beautiful, but... wasn't the age gap between her and Ren a little big?
Looking at his parents' eyes on Tsunade, a black line appeared on Ren's forehead. 'Where are you all taking this?!'
"This is... a friend of mine, um... a very good friend... She will stay at our house for a few days." After a slight hesitation, Ren still felt it would be better not to let his parents know Tsunade's true identity. His parents were responsible ninja merchants in Konoha. Although they were deeply involved with ninjas through their business, Ren felt it would be better not to let them delve too deeply into the ninja circle of influence.
"Follow me." Before Tsunade could even greet Ren's parents, Ren hurriedly pulled Tsunade into a room.
"This is..."
Ren's father looked at Ren's mother with complicated questions in his eyes.
"Ren... his relationship with that girl doesn't seem to be simple..."
"Damn it, you said we..."
"The age gap between Ren and that girl seems to be a bit big..."
"My dear, I think we should let Ren handle it. Ren has never been close to any girl since he was a child, and now he has finally brought one home, so let's not do anything that makes Ren unhappy."
"This... that... well, you're right."
Ren's parents were communicating with the complex psychology of an old father and an old mother, but they were interrupted by an untimely and tender voice. It was Tenten.
"Hey, where are you all going!"
Tenten was very unhappy! Although she had heard the bad premonition when Tsunade Hime said she was going to live in their house earlier on the road, seeing her parents agree... Tenten's little brother-controlled soul couldn't take it anymore! She had to change her parents' minds!
"My brother won't be with her, that person just now is Lady Tsunade! They can't be together!"
"What?"
"Tsuna, Tsunade? That Tsunade Hime of the Sannin?" Ren's parents were shocked, but they still couldn't believe it, and continued to ask Tenten.
"Princess Tsunade of the Senju Clan?"
"The granddaughter of the First Hokage-sama, Tsunade Hime?"
Ren's parents were asking questions around Tenten's ears, and Tenten only felt that her head was about to explode. 'Can you speak slowly, don't be so anxious!'
"Yes, it's the Tsunade you're thinking of!"
"That woman is Tsunade, one of the Three Legendary Sannin, the Princess Tsunade of the Senju Clan, and the granddaughter of the First Hokage-sama!"
Lady Tsunade... actually came to their house as a guest!! And she wanted to stay at home for a few days!! The impact was truly too big! It made Ren's parents stunned in place, unable to speak for a long time.
"Tsunade Hime is a legendary figure who was active in the Second Shinobi World War. She is several times older than my brother, so it is impossible for her and my brother to be together!"
"Hey, are you listening to me?!"
"Dad? Mom?"
After saying this, Tenten saw that her parents didn't respond, and she realized that her parents were just standing there, so she stepped forward and shook her parents' arms.
"Ah, ah!"
"I'm listening, I'm listening..."
"Lady Tsunade is here... Lady Tsunade is visiting my house!"
"Wife, go and cook some more dishes to entertain Lady Tsunade!"
"My dear... It takes a long time to cook... Don't make Lady Tsunade wait for a long time, let's go to the restaurant and buy it back?"
"Yes, you are right, I will go now!"
"You're in charge, hurry up, I'll hurry up and tidy up the room... Ouch, why is this house so messy!"
The two hurried, one ran out, the other hurriedly tidying up a room that wasn't even messy in the house.
"Dad... Mom..."
"Did you listen to me!!"
Tenten crashed. The point of what she said was not that Lady Tsunade came to their house as a guest!!
"Listen and listen!"
His mother, who was cleaning the house, did not stop her work, but replied to Tenten's words perfunctorily. "Tenten, Tenten, don't be idle there, come and help me clean up the house together..."
"A legendary figure like Lady Tsunade has come to our house as a guest, we have to clean up the room and entertain others!"
Tenten: "..."
---
In the room, Ren told Tsunade his thoughts, that he didn't want his parents to be involved in the ninja world too deeply, and asked Tsunade to cooperate with him, not to reveal her true identity.
Tsunade understood completely. Having been active on the battlefield and wandering the ninja world, Tsunade was no stranger to Ren's concern. She understood Ren's worries very well and said that she would cooperate with Ren to conceal her identity.
Tsunade immediately arranged a pseudonym and identity for herself: "Chisaki Katsu" (千勝, lit. "thousand wins"), implying remnants of the Senju clan. According to Tsunade, her pseudonym was very particular... As for what it was, Ren didn't listen too closely... Tsunade said that if she strictly followed this principle, she would win money next time at the casino.
Ren's cheeks twitched.
'My dear Lady Tsunade, don't you know your title of "Big Fat Sheep" is heard throughout the Ninja World? If metaphysics is really useful... would you still have the title of Big Fat Sheep?'
