Chapter 9: Tsunade’s Tenderness
*Swoosh!*
Just as she was about to leave with Maito Gai, Tsunade suddenly performed the Body Flicker Technique and reappeared at the entrance of Kakashi's hospital room.
*Creak!*
The door opened, and Hikari was standing there obediently, seemingly about to enter the room.
[Good thing I reacted quickly; otherwise, Tsunade might have suspected I had ulterior motives toward Kakashi.]
[No, I need to be serious. I need to act like a clueless newbie. I must not let Tsunade find out!]
"Tsunade-sama! Why did you come back? I didn't even notice! Your strength is truly unparalleled, as towering as ten Hokage Rocks combined!"
[Look at my sincere expression. There's no way Tsunade would suspect me.]
Tsunade squinted her eyes and scrutinized Kamizuki Hikari carefully.
If the thoughts she heard were correct, Hikari's strength was truly extraordinary, to the point that even she could be deceived. Seeing his expression, there was absolutely no way she would doubt him.
"It's nothing. I suddenly felt a little worried about Kakashi. After all, he's Sakumo's son. Seeing him so gravely injured, I can't help but feel uneasy."
