"I see. Sigh... Poor Tsunade!" Tianqi shook his head, then placed his hand on Tsunade's head. Green healing chakra appeared, and he began to remove the alcohol numbing effect from Tsunade's body.
While Tianqi was removing the alcohol from Tsunade, Shizune looked at the two people who came in with Tianqi. For some reason, she felt like she had seen the child somewhere before, but she couldn't remember where.
"Wake up, Tsunade, wake up, wake up..." After the effects of the alcohol wore off, Tianqi gently patted Tsunade's arm.
"Huh? Who called me?" Tsunade opened her eyes groggily. When she saw that the person in front of her was Tianqi, she shook her head helplessly and fell back asleep, muttering, "How could it be Tianqi? I must have drunk too much and haven't woken up yet."
Seeing Tsunade wake up and then collapse again, Tianqi smiled bitterly and said once more, "Wake up, Tsunade!"
Upon hearing that familiar voice again, Tsunade shuddered and immediately jumped up, fully waking up at the same time. Seeing that the person in front of her was indeed Tianqi, Tsunade jumped up and grabbed Tianqi's collar.
"You bastard, you finally know how to come back! You've been gone for over ten years. Have you completely forgotten about your wife and children back home? Tell me!"
"Calm down, calm down. I'm back now, and I've never forgotten you and your child. The first thing I did when I got back was come to find you!" Tianqi explained with a wry smile as Tsunade grabbed him by the collar and almost lifted him up.
Garuda and Itachi were taken aback by what they saw, and thought to themselves, "What a fierce woman!"
Shizune, standing to the side, remained expressionless. She wasn't surprised at all by Tsunade's reaction; that was just Tsunade's personality.
"You bastard, you're never here when I need you, never here. If you were here, Nawaki wouldn't... he wouldn't..." As Tsunade spoke, tears involuntarily streamed down her cheeks.
"I'm sorry... Tsunade!" Tianqi hugged Tsunade tightly, all his unspoken words ultimately reduced to a simple "I'm sorry."
After crying for a while in Tianqi's arms, Tsunade noticed there was another woman she had never seen before. She pulled away from Tianqi's embrace, wiped away her tears, and calmed herself down a bit before asking with some dissatisfaction, "What, you brought a guest and aren't going to introduce her to me!"
"Uh... she's not a guest, she's family..."
"Hello, Lady Tsunade, my name is Garuda, Otsutsuki Garuda, and I am also Tianqi's... lover!"
Before Tianqi could finish speaking, Garuda mustered up his courage and stepped forward to introduce himself.
Upon hearing the woman's words, Tsunade paused for a moment, then grabbed Tianqi's waist and spun him around 180 degrees. Gritting her teeth, she whispered in Tianqi's ear, "You rascal, you never stop for a moment! You're something else!"
Tianqi's face twitched as Tsunade twisted him like that; it would be a lie to say it didn't hurt when his flesh was rotated 180 degrees.
"Tsunade, she..."
Tsunade ignored Tianqi's explanation and instead smiled at the woman, saying, "My name is Tsunade. Come on, little sister, let's go over there and talk!"
With that, Tsunade pulled Garuda out of the private room where they were drinking and eating, and went to another room to talk.
"This calmness isn't like Tsunade's personality. Could they be fighting over there?" Tianqi was a little worried as he watched Tsunade and Garuda leave.
"Lord Tianqi, no offense, but what you've done is far too hurtful to Tsunade. She's waited for you for so many years, how could you do this!" Shizune frowned, and then she left as well.
"This...this...how did I suddenly become a sinner? I haven't even explained myself yet!" Tianqi was quite helpless as even Jingyin was criticizing him.
The once lively tavern was now empty except for Tianqi and Itachi, the grandfather and grandson. As a junior, Itachi didn't say anything; he had no right to comment on his grandparents' affairs, so he simply stayed quiet.
The grandfather and grandson sat there quietly. After about half an hour, Tsunade suddenly walked in, looking at Itachi with a happy expression and saying, "Oh dear, look at my eyes! I didn't even notice my grandson was here. Come on, Itachi, come with Grandma!"
"But, but, Grandma Tsunade and Grandpa Tsunade..."
"Whatever he's doing, let him stay here and think it over!" Without another word, Tsunade picked up Itachi and left, returning to the room where she was talking with Garuda.
Seeing Itachi being taken away, Tianqi felt both helpless and relieved. With Itachi around, the two of them probably wouldn't go too far.
"Ugh, this is such a hassle. Oh well, I'll just go for a walk outside!" Shaking his head, Tianqi got up and left the tavern.
After wandering around the tavern for a while, Tianqi unknowingly arrived at the tavern's backyard. Upon arriving at the backyard, Tianqi immediately noticed two people standing in the open space.
"Huh? Why is someone being punished by standing here? And that back view looks familiar!" Tian Qi said, slowly stepping into the backyard and walking towards the two people.
"Hey you two, what are you doing here so late..." Tian Qi hadn't finished speaking when he was stunned when he saw what the person in front looked like.
Holy crap! It's this guy! No wonder his back looked familiar, it's him!
That's right, these two people are none other than A, the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure, and his subordinate Amai. They came here to ask Tsunade to treat their companion.
"We're waiting for someone, hurry up and leave!" Ai, with his bronze skin, said calmly.
Looking at the two people, Tianqi recalled that through the events involving Xuanyuan Clan and Yunren, he remembered the purpose of their visit. Their companion, Karai, had been hit by Xuanyuan Clan's exploding insects, and they must have come to Tsunade to rescue him.
"If I'm not mistaken, you must be the Fourth Raikage of Kumogakure, right? I never expected someone of your high rank to come to this remote area. It's quite unexpected."
"Now that you know I'm the Raikage, get out of here. I don't have time to waste on boring people like you today!"
"Heh, these young people these days really have big tempers. Even your father, the third Raikage, wouldn't speak to me like that. How dare you try to kick me out?" Tian Qi said calmly, his eyes narrowed.
"Kid, I'll say it one last time, get out of here right now, or don't blame me for throwing you out myself!" Raikage glared, looking as fierce as could be.
As for the person in front of him mentioning his father, he didn't believe it at all, because the person in front of him looked to be only in his thirties. How could he possibly be related to his father, the Third Raikage? Don't be ridiculous.
