Chapter 33: Kurenai’s Decision
Returning side by side with Tsunade, Hikari noticed that Izumo and Kotetsu had already woken up. His eyebrows twitched slightly before he simply returned to his spot, lay down, and went straight to sleep.
With his keen eyes, he could clearly see that the two were absent-minded, especially when they saw him and Tsunade return—their expressions were off.
But since one was his older brother and the other his close friend, Hikari decided to act as if he hadn't noticed anything.
Accompanied by soft snores, Kamizuki Hikari drifted into a deep sleep.
However, Tsunade, lying not far him, couldn't fall asleep no matter what.
Recalling Hikari's inner thoughts from earlier, Tsunade felt that her ability to hear his inner voice might have its downsides.
Thinking carefully, if Yuhi Kurenai were here, Tsunade would have naturally called her to go out together. But among the four people around her now, after some consideration, Tsunade still found Kamizuki Hikari the most agreeable.
Speaking of which, what exactly does this guy think of her?
With this question lingering in her mind, Tsunade unknowingly drifted into sleep.
Seeing her fall asleep, Kamizuki Izumo and Hagane Kotetsu pretended not to notice and stood guard dutifully.
In terms of status, Tsunade was the Hokage, and in Izumo's heart, she was no different from his sister-in-law. As the older brother, enduring a little hardship was nothing.
