Hatake Tatsuya in Naruto

Chapter 22: Chapter 22



Tatsuya kept his hands on Tsunade's slim waist and muttered, "It seems to be thinner. No fat at all!"

Snapped-- After a few seconds, a crisp clap sounded. Tsunade slapped Tatsuya's hand away from her waist. She had been carelessly touched by this bastard last night, and now he was even more serious, walking in straightforwardly. She knew exactly what he wanted to do.

Seeing Tatsuya pretend to have a painful expression, though she knew he was faking it, Tsunade struggled for two seconds. She grabbed his hand and healed it with Healing Jutsu. "Too serious~ If I leave it alone, I'm afraid it will be fine in a few seconds."

"You really want to do it?" Tsunade asked abruptly.

"Now? In the barracks... not suitable, right?" Tatsuya said, feigning discomfort, but his other hand was honestly ready to untie the belt on his waist.

"Screw you!" Tsunade kicked him directly. "When are you going to stop with these lewd jokes!?"

Twitching the hair scattered in front of her eyebrows, Tsunade didn't feel good. "Seriously, you didn't ever grow up in all these years."

"Huh? I don't understand what you're talking about," Tatsuya looked puzzled.

"I don't bother to care about you; just do whatever you want!" Tsunade pointed towards the door of the tent with an expression of "get lost".

Even if it cost her life, she wouldn't allow that kind of thing to happen with this bastard in the barracks. Alas, life is always unsatisfactory. There won't be time for any happy moments before she leaves.

"Really going to do it?"

Just as Tatsuya walked out of the camp with a look of loss, Orochimaru's voice abruptly reached his ears.

"You won't be eavesdropping here all the time?"

Tatsuya turned to face Orochimaru.

Well, in fact, Orochimaru came over when he saw him with Tsunade. After all, Tatsuya won't let anyone deliberately eavesdrop on him. Despite his interactions with Tsunade, he perceives his surroundings in advance.

"Tatsuya-san what do you think about life?"

"I don't know what you're talking about."

Tatsuya used the same response he had given Tsunade to deflect Orochimaru's question.

"Human life is too fragile."

After leaving a philosophical remark, Orochimaru stopped saying much, turned his head, and left.

...

...

"Tatsuya, Shinnosuke-kun, after the failure of the last mission, the Second Kazekage will definitely strengthen the guards around you. It's better not to have a direct conflict with him. Sneak into the enemy camp and wait quietly for the chance to assassinate him."

On the second day, at the entrance of Konoha camp, Sakumo reminded Tatsuya and Sarutobi Shinnosuke, who were ready to set off. Tatsuya couldn't help rubbing the temple on the side of his head, secretly saying that my brother is really a political idiot.

Tsunade could guess what he wanted to do. Even Orochimaru could guess what he wanted to do, but he had no doubt at all. Does he really think he brought Sarutobi Shinnosuke to assassinate the Second Kazekage?

"We are going," Tatsuya felt that if he continued to listen, he would lose his mind. After responding with a couple of sentences, he hurried to the country of rain with Sarutobi Shinnosuke and then detoured into the country of wind. This time they chose a longer route, and the journey that could be reached in two days and two nights would now take at least one more week.

"I hope they are okay," Sakumo said with worry on his face.

"One of them is certainly up to something," Tsunade interjected abruptly.

"What do you mean?" Sakumo asked, puzzled, turning his head.

Tsunade remained silent but responded with a weird smile.

...

...

The country of rain was embroiled in the second Ninja War, fighting against the country of fire, the country of wind, and the country of the earth. Despite the ongoing conflict, the country had not yet been completely destroyed, indicating that its military strength was not much weaker than that of the five major countries.

Wow! The rainstorm seemed to never stop, pouring down over the land of the rain today. Tatsuya and Sarutobi Shinnosuke witnessed countless corpses exposed in the wilderness due to the war as they progressed, never stopping along the way.

"Rain Shinobi Village, under the leadership of Hanzo the Salamander, has managed to fight against the three major countries of Fire, Wind, and Earth successively without falling behind. Its military strength is not inferior to that of the five major countries," Sarutobi Shinnosuke commented as he adjusted the forehead protector on his forehead and spoke proactively.

"Now that Hanzo has signed a truce with Konoha and the Suna, there should be no danger ahead before we enter the country of wind," he continued.

The reason why Sarutobi Shinnosuke chose to speak proactively was not just because he couldn't stay idle, similar to Naruto. It was primarily because, since they entered the country of rain, Tatsuya hadn't uttered a word to him. A strange sense of fear engulfed Sarutobi Shinnosuke's heart like poison. Intense anxiety compelled him to take the initiative and address Tatsuya, saying, "Right Hatake-San?"

He had shifted from calling Tatsuya "Eternal Genin" back to his last name. As the eldest son of Hokage, he was born with privilege, and it was inappropriate for him to call someone like Tatsuya by a nickname used by others like Shikaku.

"Huh, are you talking to me?" Finally, within two days of entering the country of rain, Tatsuya finally spoke. He turned around, slowly put down the hat on top of his head, and let the heavy rain pour on him. Tatsuya smiled lightly. "Sorry, I just don't think there is any need to talk to someone who is going to die."
