Chapter 123: Tsunade Slacking Off
Hokage’s Office.
Tsunade sat with her hands clasped, her chin resting on her knuckles as she stared sternly at the man and two women standing before her.
"So, what you’re saying is, you cured Kurama Yakumo, and now she’s moving into Yūhi Kurenai’s house, and you’ll be dropping by to check on her from time to time—is that correct?"
That was the gist of it, but hearing it phrased like that from Tsunade made it sound oddly suggestive.
Kamizuki Hikari scratched his head. "More or less. Yakumo has now gained control over her mental abilities. The only issue left is her frail physical condition, which will take some time to recover."
"Hokage-sama, Hikari-senpai promised to help me regain a normal body condition within six months." Yakumo added softly.
Beside her, Kurenai watched with deep concern.
At this point, Hikari wasn’t even sure if Kurenai’s care for Yakumo was genuine or if her thoughts had already been warped by the girl’s influence.
"Is that so?" Tsunade mused.
She had heard about Yakumo’s situation before.
A prodigy of the Kurama clan, she had awakened her Kekkei Genkai at a young age but was constantly on the verge of losing control due to her immaturity. Kurenai had been assigned to care for (and monitor) her under those circumstances. Later, under the influence of the mental monster "Ido", Yakumo had an outburst that resulted in the death of her parents.
From that perspective, Yakumo was indeed a pitiable figure.
