Seeing Itachi's somewhat disappointed expression, Tianqi's feelings were also very complicated. He knew that his grandson Itachi had many doubts and questions, but he could not say them at this moment. Since Itachi was born, the gears of his family's fate had begun to turn, and Tianqi did not want to interfere too much in Itachi's first half of life, so there were many things he could not say.
Tianqi, who had been keeping his eyes closed, opened them and slowly walked to Itachi's side, saying softly, "This world has many secrets, and to unravel them, you need to explore them yourself. One day, you will understand the truth of everything through your own efforts. Grandpa is just your guide. Itachi, do you understand?"
"Yes, I will definitely use my own eyes to see everything clearly, step by step!"
"Well done, Grandpa believes in you!" Seeing his grandson Itachi so sensible, Tianqi sighed inwardly. The road to finding the truth is lonely and painful. Itachi, oh Itachi, have you really seen clearly?
"What are you two talking about? It's getting dark, let's hurry up and set off, or we'll have to sleep in the middle of nowhere if we don't find a place to stay soon!"
"Okay, let's set off!" Tian Qi nodded, and the other five clones of Xuan Yuan quickly dispersed, maintaining a distance of 500 meters from them to provide protection.
Tianqi and his two companions continued on their journey. After walking for about ten minutes, a small town came into view.
"They actually ended up in a small town like this. It's been quite a journey!" Tianqi smiled as he sensed Tsunade's chakra in the town ahead.
"Tianqi, are you sure your wife is really here?"
Yes, right here!
Upon hearing Tianqi's affirmation, Garuda's heart began to pound. She was about to meet Tianqi's first wife, and she suddenly became nervous again.
Unlike Garuda's nervousness, Itachi was overjoyed. He was about to meet Tsunade, the legendary Sannin he had never met before. Unlike his adoptive grandfather, Tsunade was someone he often talked about, and he had wanted to meet her for a long time.
"Let's go!" Having pinpointed Tsunade's exact location, Tianqi led the nervous Garuda and the excited Itachi into the small town.
After walking for a few minutes into the town, Tianqi finally stopped in front of a tavern. Looking at the tavern, he shook his head helplessly.
"They're drinking in a tavern, trying to numb themselves with alcohol. Tsunade, oh Tsunade..."
After shaking his head, Tian Qi led the three of them directly into the tavern.
As soon as I entered the tavern, the owner greeted me with a smile.
"Guests, are you looking for accommodation or food?"
"Let's wait a bit before eating and lodging. Boss, is Big Fat Sheep here with you?"
"A fat sheep?" Garuda and Itachi were also confused. Weren't they here to find Tsunade? How did they turn into fat sheep? And the term "fat sheep" sounded too funny.
"Oh, so you're here to find Big Fat Sheep. She is indeed here. Go over there, turn left, and go to the third private room. She's right there!" Upon hearing that they were looking for Big Fat Sheep, the tavern owner immediately pointed out the way to them.
"Okay, thank you!" After saying thank you, Tianqi led the two of them toward the private room where Tsunade was.
"Grandpa, the big fat sheep you mentioned is..." Although Itachi had already guessed it, he still asked Tianqi to confirm.
"Hahaha, the big fat sheep is your grandma Tsunade. Your grandma loves to gamble, but she almost always loses. She's known as the legendary big fat sheep because she's always giving away money. The people at the casinos are always overjoyed when they see her. Every time she goes to a casino, the casino makes a fortune. Isn't that the big fat sheep?"
After hearing Tianqi's words, Garuda and Itachi were also surprised. This was not a fat sheep at all, but a money-giving opportunity. To put it bluntly, it was a waste of money. How much wealth did they have to dare to play like this?
Just as they were saying those two sentences, Tianqi finally arrived at the private room where Tsunade was. He pushed open the door and went in. The three of them saw a blonde woman lying drunk and asleep on the table, and next to her was another woman lying on a wooden tatami mat, sleeping while hugging a piglet.
Upon seeing this scene, Garuda and Itachi's eyes widened in disbelief. This was completely different from what they had imagined. This was no Sannin; she was simply a depraved woman.
Unlike Garuda and the other two, Tianqi felt both heartache and self-blame when he saw Tsunade lying drunk on the table.
"I never imagined that after all these years, you still haven't let go of your younger brother Nawaki and your friend Dan. Tsunade, Tsunade, why are you so persistent!"
After glancing at Tsunade, Tianqi turned his gaze to Shizune, who was sleeping on the side. He figured that following Tsunade must be quite a headache.
Tianqi immediately patted Jingyin gently and called out softly, "Little Jingyin, little Jingyin, wake up, wake up..."
"Huh? Who is it?..." Shizune blinked and slowly opened her eyes, sitting up. When she saw the person in front of her, she rubbed her eyes in disbelief and pinched her thigh hard. After confirming that she was not dreaming, she quickly got off the wooden bed and bowed respectfully.
"Lord Tianqi!"
"Alright, alright, Shizune, you don't need to be so polite. You know I don't like this kind of thing!"
"Yes, Lord Tianqi!" Although she said that, Jingyin still stood respectfully to the side.
Seeing that Jingyin was still so respectful, Tianqi didn't say anything more. Looking at the graceful Jingyin, Tianqi couldn't help but sigh, "Time flies. I never thought that little girl would grow up so much. Sigh..."
"So many years have passed, it's normal for them to have grown up, but Lord Tianqi, why have you been gone for so long? You don't know about Lady Tsunade..."
"To be honest, I didn't expect to be gone for so long this time. It can only be said that it was destined. As long as I come back, everything will be alright."
"Yes, Lord Tianqi, now that you're back, Lady Tsunade will surely pull herself together!" Shizune nodded happily. She had been heartbroken to see Lady Tsunade so despondent, but now that Lord Tianqi was back, everything would be alright.
"She can't hear us when we talk. Has Tsunade been drinking a lot?"
"Uh... well, actually I don't know how much Tsunade-sama drank. I was so sleepy that I just lay down and fell asleep..." Shizune said this with a bit of embarrassment, after all, she was Tsunade-sama's bodyguard, and it was really a bit irresponsible of her not to know how much Tsunade-sama drank.
