"Yo, what a rare guest!"
"Aren't you my dear granddaughter!"
As Tsunade and Kawaki entered the living room, they saw Mito put down her teacup and started making sarcastic remarks.
"Grandma, I'm back now!"
Tsunade scratched her head awkwardly, then trotted over to Mito, squatted down, and grabbed her hand.
From the outside, they seemed to be around the same age. In fact, even Mito looked younger.
Kawaki watched Tsunade acting all cute. This scene was really a bit strange.
"It's all his fault. He insisted on dragging me to drink sake. Otherwise, I'd have come back earlier."
Tsunade pointed at Kawaki with one finger while still shaking Mito's hand with the other.
"My bad, my bad. It's all my fault."
Kawaki placed the gifts in his hand aside, stepped forward, and took the blame willingly.
"Humph, neither of you is any good."
Mito gave them a disdainful look, shook off Tsunade's hand, and picked up her teacup again.
Kawaki and Tsunade were left standing there, not knowing what to do.
Tsunade was still wondering if her grandma was really angry.
"Let me see the seal."
Mito glanced at them, a faint, almost imperceptible smile flashing across her lips, and then said seriously to Tsunade.
"Ah, what seal?"
Tsunade was a bit slow on the uptake at the moment.
"What do you think?"
Mito glared at her, and then Tsunade came to her senses.
She bared her arm, on which there was a clearly visible Eight Trigrams Sealing Style[b]Eight Trigrams Sealing Style[/b].
Mito placed her hand on it and felt it carefully.
Chōmei inside Tsunade began to get restless. Just sensing the aura of the Nine - Tailed Fox was enough to scare him half to death.
Now, there was even a wisp of the Nine - Tailed Fox's chakra coming towards him.
"Don't mess with me, lady."
"I don't want to see him."
Right after Chōmei finished speaking, he saw a huge fox sitting in front of his prison door.
"Bug, you're sealed too, huh?"
Even though it was just a wisp of chakra, it didn't affect the Nine - Tailed Fox's haughty look at all.
It looked at Chōmei as if it were looking at an ant.
"Mind your own business. You're sealed too."
"We're in the same boat."
Chōmei is just the type who never backs down from a verbal fight.
The Nine - Tailed Fox's expression visibly turned furious. This damned bug really knows how to bring up the most awkward topic.
Back then, that man had said, "Nine - Tailed Fox, your power is too strong, so I'm going to seal you."
That man single - handedly captured and then sealed him.
This was a wound that would never heal in his heart!!
Even now, he could still feel the suffocating feeling of being grabbed by the neck.
"Damned bug, I'll kill you."
Saying that, the Nine - Tailed Fox pounced towards the prison door. Chōmei stood there with a look of sheer terror on his face, forgetting that the Nine - Tailed Fox didn't have the ability to harm him at the moment.
"Scared the hell out of me."
Chōmei finally calmed down when he saw the Nine - Tailed Fox suddenly disappear mid - pounce.
At this time, Mito also removed her hand from Tsunade's arm.
"The seal is under good control."
"Hehe, of course."
"You taught me yourself."
Tsunade stood up with a smile and sat on the chair below Mito.
Grandma still cared about her. She was just worried that the seal wouldn't be strong enough and would endanger Tsunade.
"Stop your nonsense. The seals[b]seals[/b] on you will be greatly weakened when you give birth."
Mito's sudden remark choked Tsunade, who was drinking water at the moment.
"Cough, cough~"
"I got it, Grandma."
Tsunade patted her chest and nodded with her head down. One could tell she was up to no good.
Kawaki had already known about this. If anyone dares to bother Tsunade when she's giving birth, there are only three words for them - Go to hell!!!
"What brings you here today, Kawaki-kun?"
Mito sipped her tea slowly, exuding an air of elegance.
When comparing people, it's just depressing. Tsunade is nowhere near her grandma in terms of manners.
"Lady Mito, I've come to visit you specifically today."
Kawaki was about to call her Grandma but refrained from doing so. Firstly, he felt guilty. Secondly, Mito looked so young.
"I'm an old woman who rarely goes out. Why would you come to visit me?"
Mito pretended not to know. Tsunade kept silent beside her, waiting to watch the fun.
"Well, I~"
Kawaki stammered, forgetting all the words he had rehearsed in his mind.
"I what?"
Mito found his embarrassed look even more amusing and pressed him further.
"Speak up!"
Tsunade was getting impatient watching from the side. What a wimp. Did she have to speak for him?
"Grandma, Tsunade and I are in love and we're together."
Kawaki summoned up his courage and called her Grandma, not caring about how awkward it might seem.
Saying this felt like he had gone through a huge ordeal.
It was his first time meeting his girlfriend's family in both this life and his past life. All the self - encouragement about not being nervous had been in vain.
"Oh, and then?"
Mito's calm response left Kawaki stunned. Was she really that calm?
It would have been better if she had shown at least a bit more surprise!
"I want to marry her."
Kawaki shouted with his neck stuck out. Anyway, he was going to face the music.
He thought Mito might not approve of their relationship. In that case, he'd just bring their great - grandchildren to visit her later.
"Good! I've been waiting for you to say that!"
Mito slapped the table and stood up, making the water in the cup spill out.
Hashirama, you old rascal!
See? Someone finally wants the gambling - addicted ninja you've raised.
No need to worry about her being left on my hands. Hahaha!
"I have no objections. Just treat Tsunade well from now on."
"Ah!!!"
The situation was so unexpected that Kawaki couldn't adjust to it.
"Grandma~ You didn't even ask if I'm willing!"
Tsunade started to act coquettishly. Grandma had agreed too readily.
They said that things obtained too easily were often not cherished.
"You practically live at his place. Do I need to ask?"
"Besides, don't you know what you're like?"
"It's good enough that someone wants you. Don't be so picky."
Mito looked at Tsunade and fired off three consecutive barbs, hitting Tsunade's fragile heart hard.
So this was how she saw her in her grandma's eyes. The concern she showed just now must have been fake.
"Hahaha~"
Kawaki had received professional training, so he wouldn't laugh unless he really couldn't help it.
Now he really couldn't help it.
This laughter was so harsh to Tsunade's ears.
"What's so funny?"
Bang!!
Suddenly, Kawaki's laughter ceased abruptly, and a large, visible lump popped up on his head.
"There's no such thing as returns here."
Mito saw Kawaki's look and blurted out her thoughts immediately.
"He's really getting out of line, still thinking about returning it."
"Dare you?"
Tsunade clenched her right fist, making a creaking sound.
"How could I? It's impossible~"
Kawaki forced a smile that was worse than a grimace and looked so pitiful.
"That's more like it."
Tsunade sat back in her seat satisfactorily, and Mito shook her head straight.
Fortunately, this silly boy took it. Otherwise, it might really end up in her own hands.
"Kawaki, I'll accept these gifts of yours."
"From now on, we're family. Come over often."
Mito put on a nice smile and spoke to Kawaki in an indescribably gentle tone.
"Okay, Grandma."
After calling out the first time, Kawaki no longer had any psychological barriers and it came out smoothly.
