"How should I put it? Taste and style seem like things you can choose, but this kind of thing doesn't seem like something you can do..." Tsunade took the dark red pendant from Hanyu, pinched the two ends and looked at it carefully, then said this.
Hanyu has no taste. There is nothing wrong with that, and it is not the key point. The key point is... Tsunade is a little suspicious whether Hanyu has taken the wrong medicine.
Is he the kind of person who would give her a trinket? Unlikely. So although Tsunade was somewhat happy to receive the gift, the event itself was a bit "far-fetched".
Although she was in such a mood, she then put her hands behind her back and tied the thing around her neck.
Tsunade's words made Hanyu extremely embarrassed, because... in fact, this "pendant" was originally made by Shiko, and Hanyu didn't care what it looked like.
And what's worse is…
"Well, Tsunade-chan, this is not a pendant or jewelry, but a... ninja tool."
Giving this pendant to Tsunade is not an expression of affection at all. In fact, giving this thing is equivalent to giving Tsunade a kunai.
"Ninja tools?"
His words made Tsunade freeze, and her emotion at this moment was not a change from joy to anger, but... "enlightenment".
Tsunade understood instantly, if the nature of the pendant was not "jewelry" but "ninja tool", then it made sense... Hanyu would not give others jewelry, but giving others ninja tools was different, the latter was something he could do.
"Ninja tools."
Hanyu looked serious and nodded solemnly... What else could he do at this time except pretending to be serious?
So otherwise, the relationship between the two of them had not improved or deteriorated over the years. Hanyu finally managed to return the gift, and it was a "ninja tool"... If the two of them were in love, then Hanyu was a well-deserved genius in love.
Fortunately, Tsunade has been a sensible (?) child since she was young, so she was still happy to take the thing. "So, how should it be used?"
"It's quite simple to use, but it's best not to use it unless it's an emergency. This thing is just a trump card on the battlefield... After all, it was me who brought you to the battlefield in the beginning, but now there's not much I can do to help you." Hanyu said this while explaining to Tsunade how to use the pendant.
His words were quite nice, but I don't know how Jiraiya and Orochimaru would react when they heard such words… If you want to give something as a gift, just give it as a gift, why do you have to bring up "everyone"?
According to this statement, each of the three people should have one pendant, but why is there no one for the gay group?
Well, Orochimaru and Jiraiya are already at the age where they can stand on their own, but little Tsunade is different, she is a cause for concern.
Tsunade was naturally willing to accept Hanyu's kindness, but after listening to his explanation, she felt a little uncomfortable with the production and use of the pendant... However, since the thing was already worn around her neck, she didn't want to say anything inappropriate at this time.
Although Hanyu called this pendant a ninja tool, it was definitely more than just a ninja tool, so Tsunade decided to return the favor with her own "thoughts".
As the saying goes, lust is a big deal...
No, it should be a blessing in disguise...
Uh, that's not right. It should be that opportunities and challenges coexist.
Well, that was still not right, anyway Hanyuu saw Tsunade reaching out and taking out another pendant that had been hanging around her neck… Now that she had a red one, the original blue one could be used as a gift.
Give it to someone who is very important to you.
However, this is the pendant that the first Hokage gave to his granddaughter. It is said that the material of this thing itself is priceless and cannot be compared with the crystal given by Hanyu. What is more important than the material is that this thing is filled with the chakra of the first Hokage.
But the key point is that this thing is only considered a lucky item and a talisman when it is worn by Tsunade. As for when it falls into the hands of other people, it is completely a curse.
Those whose lives are not strong enough will die if they are touched by it. Those whose lives are strong and cannot be killed will have their lives broken by themselves... It is either you or I, this small pendant is so strong.
So Hanyu quickly held down Tsunade's hand.
"Tsunade, I have heard about the origin of this thing. It is a relic of the first Hokage. It is a little too valuable... It is not the time to change its owner yet."
The main reason is that Hanyu feels that his life is not strong enough now, and he cannot guarantee that he can overcome the "curse of the first Hokage."
Tsunade blinked, vaguely feeling that something was wrong with Hanyu's reaction, but she couldn't tell the details, "Of course it's very valuable, but in addition to exchanging it with you... do you want me to give it to someone else?"
That's of course not possible, Hanyu thought to himself, little girl, please don't harm others, I can bear this disaster.
"What I mean is... I've already reserved it, but I'm going to leave it with you for the time being." This was all Hanyu could say.
He can't just say something like "Give it back to me after the war is over", wouldn't that be a clear death flag?
Hanyu's words were unclear, but Tsunade seemed to understand his concerns (even though they were basically two different concerns), so she didn't force it - besides, it wouldn't be nice to force something into Hanyu's hands.
"After you go to the battlefield, what are you going to do about things at home?"
After Hanyu noticed Tsunade's attitude of "letting him go", he began to change the subject slightly.
"Family matters? Are you talking about Nawaki? I have already found someone to take care of him." Tsunade said this after understanding what Hanyu meant.
After Mishino's death, the whole family except Tsunade entered "autistic mode", so Hanyu has never seen Nawaki until now... In fact, he doesn't really want to see Nawaki.
That child was Sansho's hope, but no matter what, she was weak during her lifetime and died after giving birth - no normal person would think that there was anything wrong with the child. After all, it was Sansho who chose to give birth to him. If the cause of Sansho's death was to be attributed to a baby, it would be better to say that she deserved it.
However, rationality is one thing and emotion is another, so Hanyu had this evasive attitude... What's more, the only time Sansho was able to make Hanyu feel that she was a "very important person" was before she died.
Before the last meeting, Sansho was just a respectable teacher who treated her students seriously, and was neither below nor above them. It was only after her death that she became a person who could influence Hanyu's life.
This is also the internal reason why Hanyu avoided that child.
In terms of actual age, Nawaki is much older than Minato Namikaze and Kushina Uzumaki. He should be around ten years old at this time. However, perhaps because of his special identity, Hanyu has not heard that he has entered a ninja school. He seems to be receiving a more traditional family education...
Thinking about these things, Hanyu seemed a little absent-minded.
"Hanyu?"
"Ah? Oh, where were we talking about?"
"I mean, I have arranged everything. Do you have anything else to say to me? If there is nothing else, I will go to meet up with Jiraiya and Orochimaru next... We may receive an order to go to the Rain Country at any time."
"Well, I'm just handing this thing over to you, nothing else... Anyway, please be careful on the battlefield."
"I know, so...can you let go?"
"...Ahem, I forgot for a moment, my hand slipped, that's all."
Well, this hand was originally supposed to be on Tsunade's pendant.
Both of them were ninjas, so their parting was quite abrupt. After explaining things to each other, Tsunade was ready to turn around and leave.
But before leaving...
"Tsunade...go early and come back early."
"I know, Hanyu."
