Tsunade Can Hear My Inner Voice

"You two..."

Kamizuki Izumo stared at Tsunade, who was clinging to Hikari's arm, his words trailing off as he struggled to find the right thing to say.

Meanwhile, the traitorous Hagane Kotetsu had already vanished without a trace, leaving Izumo fuming and cursing inwardly.

'What kind of friend just ditches you like that?'

'We're supposed to be the "Twin Guardians" of Konoha! And now, at a critical moment like this, you just bail?'

'Are we even brothers anymore?'

Fortunately, Tsunade reacted quickly. Noticing Izumo's strange expression, she calmly withdrew her arm. "Oh, I had a couple of drinks earlier and felt a bit dizzy, so Hikari helped me back."

"Is there a problem?"

A problem?

Could he even say there was a problem?

Izumo wasn't an idiot. Seeing how neither of them showed any unusual expressions, he figured that if he weren't Hikari's brother, he might have to just accept this situation and resign himself to being a lifelong gatekeeper.
