Chapter 81
Tsunade could already picture it—Rosinante using his chakra-infused staff to "treat" the wounded by wildly smashing them. Yeah, that was way too harmonious.
"Ross, what I've taught you should be enough to handle most injuries. That's it—you've learned well. Don't bother learning any more." Tsunade sighed, clearly not wanting Rosinante running around claiming to be her student. She couldn't bear the thought.
"Oh, alright. We've been here long enough anyway. It's time to head to Konoha." Rosinante finally remembered his actual purpose. He had been slacking off here long enough, and any more would be pushing it.
Tsunade nodded. Ever since she healed that little boy the other night, her so-called debt had been settled. The man in black barely even thanked her. Not that it mattered—she never helped people expecting something in return.
"Alright, safe travels, Ross." Tsunade waved casually. She had no intention of returning to Konoha anytime soon. Her old teacher wouldn't allow it—not when she was one of the Legendary Sannin and the granddaughter of the First Hokage.
But then, fate decided to mess with her plans.
At that moment, Uchiha Sasuke and Yamato arrived in the village, holding a small map and looking around. Coincidentally, they ran into Tsunade and Rosinante just as they were about to part ways.
Sasuke rubbed his eyes and pulled out the portrait Jiraiya had given him from his pack. After a few moments of comparison, he confirmed it—the woman in front of him was definitely Tsunade.
Yamato, standing beside him, also noticed. He quickly grabbed Sasuke's arm and led him straight to her.
"Lady Tsunade, we're from Konoha..." Yamato introduced himself and explained their purpose. However, something felt off. He kept glancing at the man beside Tsunade, feeling an odd sense of familiarity.
"Have we met before?" Yamato asked cautiously. There was something strangely familiar about him.
