Early in the morning…
"Hmm… so soft… where is this?" Hidan mumbled in half-sleep. His hand absentmindedly squeezed something huge and warm.
His whole body felt like it was lying on cotton indescribably comfortable.
Then it hit him. Wait. That softness… that shape…
His eyes snapped open. His palm was clutching a giant boob.
The haze of sleep shattered instantly. His mind rewound back to last night...drinking, kissing, fucking… sex?!
Before he could even process it fully
BOOM!
His body was launched like a cannonball, smashing into the wall with a loud crack. Dust fell from the ceiling as he groaned, sliding down like a ragdoll.
He looked up through blurry vision and froze.
Tsunade was standing there, staring at him with eyes cold enough to kill, her whole body radiating murderous intent.
The expression on her face was enough to make lesser men piss themselves.
For a split second, Hidan's thoughts raced faster than lightning. Say it was her fault? No, no, no that'll backfire. Women don't do "reasoning."
That's suicide.
Staying passive for now might give him a stronger position to start from.
He didn't dare mention that it was her who made the first move. Not unless he wanted to be punched into orbit.
Reasoning with women is the most terrifying ninjutsu in existence.
But as his brain steadied, Hidan noticed something strange.
She hadn't gone for the kill.
That punch just now...it could've turned him into paste. But she'd held back. Even Tsunade had hesitated.
His heart gave a slow sigh of relief. She had the perfect chance to end me… but she didn't.
She's conflicted.
Carefully, he let his face twist into a mask of confusion and pain, as if he had no idea what was going on.
Inside, though, his lips curled.
Tsunade… looks like I won.
Just when the atmosphere had turned unbearably weird
"What's wrong?"
Shizune, who had been startled awake by the noise, came into the room.
Luckily, Tsunade had cleaned up the scene in a flash. Hidan, meanwhile, had plastered himself silently against the corner like a guilty ghost.
Tsunade's face carried the faintest blush. How the hell am I supposed to explain this? Tell Shizune I got fucked all night by that brat? And worst of all… that I was the one who started it?!
Shizune's eyes narrowed as she glanced between them. Her gaze landed on Hidan lying miserably by the wall, and a suspicion formed in her mind.
"You guys… it won't be that you…" she muttered. She thought maybe Hidan had tried something perverted again and been beaten half-dead by Tsunade.
Bang!
Tsunade's fist came down on Shizune's head, making her yelp. "It's not what you think! This little brat probably doesn't even have hair grown down there yet...how could he possibly do that kind of thing?!"
Hidan's expression darkened immediately. His face twisted, lips twitching. Bitch… did you really just say that out loud?
He opened his mouth, ready to fire back but then he caught the chill in Tsunade's eyes. That silent threat was clear as day.
Cleverly, Hidan shut his mouth again.
Inside, he bit his lips hard. On the outside, he wore the perfect mask of silence and pain.
Shizune's face fell slightly. So that's what Tsunade-sama thinks of me? That I've got a dirty brain?
Her shoulders slumped. What she had really thought was simple, that maybe Hidan had tried to pull some stupid prank again and got smacked for it. But to be accused of that… it stung.
Still, Shizune didn't argue back. She could clearly see that Tsunade was red with shame.
If she opened her mouth now, she'd probably get another fist to the head for no reason. And damn it, those punches hurt!
So, quietly, she walked over to Hidan and helped him up from the floor.
She glanced at him, gritting her teeth, but couldn't help sympathizing. Less than two days of knowing Tsunade, and he'd already been beaten three times. That was practically a world record.
If only she knew what he did yesterday… Shizune would probably never look at him the same way again.
Hidan groaned as he was pulled to his feet, his eyes darting everywhere except toward Tsunade.
He didn't dare meet that cannibalistic gaze of hers. Trying to explain anything to a furious woman? That was suicide.
But then… a spark flickered in his mind.
Wait. I've got it.
He straightened his back, puffed out his chest, and forced himself to walk forward majestically though inside, every cell in his body was screaming at him to turn tail and run.
Standing before Tsunade, he put on the most reluctant, tragic expression he could muster. His lips quivered faintly, his eyes shimmering with forced melancholy.
"Tsunade-neechan…" he said softly, voice dripping with sadness. "I've already disturbed you for so long. It's time for me to leave… to pursue the place of my dreams."
His gaze lifted to the distance, unfocused and hazy, as though he were staring beyond the walls themselves. His tone was heavy, emotional, almost heroic.
It was Oscar-worthy acting.
"Leave?"
Tsunade's eyes widened, caught completely off guard by Hidan's sudden words. She hadn't expected this brat to say he'd walk away...not after everything that happened between them.
A flicker of anger burned in her chest. This damn kid… after daring to touch me, now he wants to leave just like that?
Her pride screamed at her to beat him half to death. But her fists hesitated.
She had spent a lot of time secretly checking her body for any trace of drugs, over and over.
As a medical ninja, she trusted her skills absolutely. Yet there was nothing. No foreign substance. No foul play.
Which only made it worse.
Was it really me? Did I…?
Her teeth clenched. No! No, no, no, impossible! Even if I… even if I had needs, there's no way I would go that far! With a kid, no less!
Her thoughts spiraled in circles, crashing against themselves. The only explanation that made any twisted sense was that… maybe, just maybe, he reminded her of her brother.
But that idea made her stomach churn. No… that's even worse! Arghhhh!!!
Tsunade's fists clenched as a single desperate thought crossed her mind...should she resort to drastic measures to uncover the truth?
She bit her lip until it bled, her heart beat extremely fast. If she was going to take such a drastic step, it had to be now.
Her arm trembled, chakra surging and gathering into her fist as she steeled her nerves. Do it. Just do it!
But then… she looked at Hidan.
The brat was standing there with that tragic expression plastered across his face, pretending to be some noble hero leaving behind everything.
And just like that, the courage in her chest evaporated.
Her whole body quivered, not from rage but from a strange hesitation she couldn't shake.
She tried to harden her heart, to hypnotize herself into following through… but her arm wouldn't move.
No matter how much chakra swelled in her palm, she couldn't bring it down on him.
"Hey… are you okay? Nee-chan, your face is sweating a lot."
Hidan's voice carried worry on the surface, but inside he was dripping cold sweat himself. He could feel the terrifying chakra radiating off her like a crushing tide.
His hand twitched slightly, fingers ready to reach for the scythe strapped behind him at a moment's notice.
But then...Tsunade's expression shifted. The suffocating aura dissipated as she drew in a long breath, her eyes softening.
"Where to? Where is your dream land?" she asked gently.
That caught Hidan off guard, but he masked his surprise, keeping his face calm.
"My dream place is Konoha. The most prosperous of the Five Great Villages, overflowing with ninjutsu and opportunity. That's why I left the Hot Springs Village."
His voice carried a quiet yearning, and for a moment even Tsunade and Shizune were moved.
Their eyes softened, as if pulled back into distant, warmer memories.
After a long silence, Tsunade blinked and came back to herself. She looked at him with complicated eyes.
"Konoha…" she murmured. "I don't even remember how long it's been since I last went back."
Her gaze drifted off, unfocused, as though looking toward a place far away.
Regret, bitterness, nostalgia...it all flickered in her eyes. She clenched her fists, then released them, hesitating.
Finally, she turned back to Hidan, her face settling into something more indifferent.
"Brat," she said flatly, though her tone was laced with something she couldn't quite hide.
"It's a pity. I don't want to go back there."
"Otherwise, I could've taken you straight into Konoha myself. You should understand… for an outsider, entering Konoha isn't something simple."
As Tsunade spoke, her tone shifted slightly... there was something almost expectant in it, as if she wanted Hidan to please her.
Deep down, it sounded like she was already toying with the idea of letting him join Konoha.
"That money yesterday… was given to Tsunade-neechan!" Hidan said decisively, flashing her a grin.
Tsunade's eyes lingered on him for a while. His smile was bright, a little too carefree. She didn't answer at first, just lowered her head, then looked back up with a complicated expression.
"…Fine. Hurry up, I'll write you a letter of introduction. When the time comes, show it to the Third Hokage. He'll arrange things for you and grant you a proper Konoha identity."
Seeing how happy Hidan became, Tsunade waved her hand, hiding her softness behind a casual gesture. "Shizune, go get paper and a brush."
"Yes, Tsunade-sama." Shizune quickly moved to prepare the writing tools.
While waiting, Tsunade leaned back, her voice turning quieter, almost gentle.
"By the way… when you meet the Third Hokage, give him my regards. Tell him his student has been worried about him. Tell him… not to make us worry."
Her words carried a warmth and weight that betrayed the pride she tried to keep hidden.
"Well, I'll definitely tell him," Hidan replied earnestly, his tone uncharacteristically sincere.
---
Hidan carefully slipped the recommendation letter Tsunade had written into his bag, treating it like a priceless treasure. His eyes lingered on her, unwilling to leave just yet.
Damn… if it wasn't for my low strength right now, and the fact that things between us are so unstable, I'd really show her more of Hidan with the Big Stick.
But he knew better. He needed to get stronger, and he couldn't afford to stop here. There was no time for playing lovey-dovey.
Even if they had crossed that line yesterday, his age alone made it impossible for Tsunade to ever let him "succeed" completely.
Still… it wasn't like he hadn't succeeded at all.
I forced my way into her life. And judging from her expression, she won't be forgetting it any time soon.
Given enough time, her emotions will settle. And when we meet again… kukuku… one strike, one kill.
Don't underestimate my Perfect Dick-kun, it's not something so easily forgotten.
Tsunade, meanwhile, caught the way Hidan's gaze wavered. His silence, his downcast eyes, the way he seemed deep in thought...it made her hesitate.
Her teeth clenched as she struggled with herself, then suddenly she stepped forward and yanked him into her chest.
His face was instantly buried between her massive breasts, the suffocating warmth overwhelming his senses.
Her cheeks reddened faintly, though her voice came out cold.
"Lustful brat," she muttered, "it's just a parting hug. Don't think too much of it."
Hidan, muffled against her cleavage, grinned wickedly in his heart. Nee-chan… you really shouldn't tempt me like this.
This was the third time Hidan had been caught off guard by Tsunade's sudden attack.
Although he was secretly delighted, he didn't make any excessive moves this time, he simply let himself enjoy the warm, smooth softness of her embrace.
With a reluctant face, he finally withdrew from Tsunade's chest, inhaled the faint lingering scent in the air, and turned to leave.
It wasn't until he had walked nearly half a mile away that he suddenly stopped, turned back, and shouted at the two still watching him from a distance:
"Tsunade! Wait for me! When I grow up, I'll make you mine completely!!"
Shizune's jaw dropped, her eyes widening in shock and disbelief. What guts it takes to shout something like that! No wonder he ran so far before opening his mouth...it's because he's scared of getting caught and beaten to death!
Tsunade's face darkened instantly, though the faint blush creeping across her cheeks betrayed her. She snapped at Shizune with deliberate annoyance:
"The next time I see that little brat, I'll definitely beat him half to death!"
But even as she said it, something in her chest stirred. A heart that had been frozen for years was suddenly touched by the audacity of this bold brat who had shaken her night.
The sadness of parting quietly dissolved in the atmosphere of his ridiculous declaration, leaving only the faint trace of a laugh.
...
Hidan, of course, had no idea what was running through Tsunade's mind. After his bold parting words, he took off laughing and sprinted down the path she'd pointed him toward, the road that led straight to Konoha.
According to Tsunade, the village wasn't far.
With the stamina and speed of someone at Jōnin level, Hidan figured he'd reach it within two days at most.
The thought of finally stepping into the central stage of the "main plot" made his chest burn with excitement.
He tilted his head back and let out a wild laugh that sent flocks of birds scattering through the trees.
"HAHAHAHAHA!"
...
Two days later.
In front of the great wooden gates of Konohagakure.
"Oi, you! Who are you, kid? What business do you have in Konoha?" one of the gate guards asked, eyes sharp, hand resting near his kunai pouch as he scanned the area.
It wasn't unusual for outsiders to approach Konoha...merchants, travelers, or shinobi carrying mission requests. Still, vigilance was standard procedure.
Hidan walked up with a bright grin, puffing his chest out with confidence. "I came from the Hot Springs Village. I'm here to join Konoha."
The guard froze. "What? Did you say join Konoha? Not post a mission request?!" His voice rose with disbelief.
Another guard stiffened beside him, frowning.
"You're from another village and you want to defect here? Are you messing with us? That's a felony in the shinobi world!"
But Hidan only kept smiling wider, eyes sparkling like he was announcing the most natural thing in the world.
"That's right," he declared boldly. "I came here to join Konoha!"
