Double date?
How could that be possible!
Under Tsunade's somewhat resentful gaze, Kushina trotted over and sat beside her, flashing a sweet smile. "Hello, Sister Tsunade! We haven't seen each other in ages!"
Tsunade greeted Kushina awkwardly. "Yes, it has been a long time. Kushina, you're getting more and more adorable."
"Oh, no! Sister Tsunade, you're the beautiful one…"
Hmm, the atmosphere was good. Lin Yu felt this was a nice feeling and hoped it would continue so he could truly win at life!
But fantasies always shattered in the present…
"Lin Yu, don't you think Sister Tsunade is getting more beautiful?" Kushina winked at Lin Yu.
Tsunade's beautiful eyes also glanced at Lin Yu, seemingly wanting to see his opinion of her, filled with curiosity.
"Of course. Tsunade looks much prettier when she's not wearing her ninja attire."
Lin Yu spoke the truth. Tsunade's beauty was indeed top-tier in Konoha, especially since she seemed to be developing further recently, no longer possessing a "little steamed bun" figure.
"Tch, does that mean I'm not beautiful when I wear my ninja outfit?" Tsunade picked up her sake cup and took a sip, her cheeks slightly flushed.
Don't misunderstand; it was from the alcohol. Even with great affection, Lin Yu was still just a ten-year-old boy. He couldn't even drink with her, so how could he make her blush with just a compliment?
"What about me, what about me! Lin Yu, do I seem… lately?" Kushina nudged her small face towards Lin Yu, intending for him to notice her improved appearance.
Lin Yu felt a bit helpless. He saw Kushina almost every day and hadn't noticed any change. However, he could never say that. No matter how strong his martial arts, he feared the "waist-twisting" divine skill.
"Uh, Kushina seems even cuter than before. I really want to pinch your cheeks."
"Oh, you! Sister Tsunade is still here. At most… at most, I'll let you pinch them when we get home." Kushina's voice was barely audible, her small face flushed red.
But everyone present was a ninja with exceptionally sharp hearing. Lin Yu's expression remained unchanged, but his heart stirred. Looking at Kushina's round, adorable face, Lin Yu had a sudden realization: how had he never noticed this girl's alluring nature before?
"Hey, hey, brat Lin Yu, you promised to go on a date with me. What's going on now? I'm not being a third wheel!" Tsunade looked at Lin Yu with considerable annoyance.
What good is being cute! Brats are still brats, unable to understand a woman's charm! Someone like me, with a mature, elegant aura, is the most attractive. How can that little wisp of a girl, Kushina, compare to me!
It was almost as if she was asking, "Do you have eyes, Lin Yu?"
"Hmm? A date?" Kushina's large eyes narrowed, her expression shifting instantly from shy to wary, then to scrutinizing.
Her gaze darted back and forth between Lin Yu and Tsunade. Her small eyes rolled, and she suddenly pouted, saying to Lin Yu, "Lin Yu, is Sister Tsunade telling the truth? Are you really on a date with her?"
Alright, she's not even calling her "Sister Tsunade" anymore. Kushina's temper really changes fast!
Lin Yu scratched his head, looking somewhat embarrassed, unsure of what to say. The situation he had most feared had arrived. He regretted inviting Kushina.
"Well, this, this is, Tsunade she…"
Hearing Lin Yu's stammered reply, Kushina's small mouth quivered. It was true. They were actually on a date, but why did they invite her along?
To be a third wheel? Kushina's eyes immediately turned red, on the verge of tears. Suddenly, a lightbulb lit up above her head.
*Pop!*
Right! If they were on a date, why would they call me? Isn't that redundant! I get it! This old woman must have forced my Lin Yu. Brother Lin Yu is gentle and wouldn't know how to refuse, so he called me to sabotage them.
Kushina felt she had stumbled upon the truth!
Her gaze towards Lin Yu changed, as if saying, "You know what's good for you! You knew to call me for backup. See how awesome I, Kushina, am!"
Lin Yu was unaware of Kushina's rapid psychological shift. He only saw Kushina's reddened eyes instantly turn sharp, staring intently at Tsunade beside her.
"Um… Kushina, what's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that all of a sudden?" Tsunade was a bit bewildered. The situation was changing faster than a battlefield. Wasn't the target of aggression Lin Yu just moments ago? Why was Kushina suddenly so hostile towards her?
Kushina sniffled, her round little face serious. "Sister Tsunade, you're already an elite jonin. There are countless ninjas pursuing you in the village. Please leave young sprouts like Lin Yu to us juniors. Sister Tsunade, you can't steal a man from the younger generation, can you!"
"Besides, there's a full ten-year age gap between you and Lin Yu. You two just don't seem compatible, so you should give up!"
Hmph, someone's trying to steal Lin Yu from me, and it's a Konoha beauty! I really don't know what Lin Yu did to catch Tsunade's eye.
Kushina had always thought of Lin Yu as her own dish, but she never expected that she wasn't the only one eyeing this dish. She suddenly felt a sense of crisis!
Lin Yu stared blankly at Kushina, stunned by her words. He had never realized Kushina could be so eloquent before. She went from "Sister Tsunade" to "Tsunade," and then she was practically calling her an old woman!
"Young sprout"? Where did Kushina learn such a term? And clearly, *I* was the one nurturing *her*, so why did it become that *I* was the one being nurtured in her eyes?
Tsunade's beautiful eyes widened. She was the most incredulous. Her impression of Kushina was still that of a strong-willed and cute girl. Yet today, she was "fighting" her for Lin Yu!
And she called her old! That was unforgivable. How was she old? She was in her prime youth!
Tsunade had been contemplating whether her feelings for Lin Yu were simply sisterly affection. Now, there was no need to think. She was determined to have this boy!
She, Tsunade!
Never admits defeat!
Whether it's drinking, gambling, or fighting for a man!
Tsunade narrowed her eyes and said to Kushina, "I recall that Konoha doesn't explicitly forbid liking someone younger, does it? Besides, older sister can wait for Lin Yu to grow up. My Senju clan has a much longer lifespan than ordinary people. Older sister can wait!"
"You… How can you be like this? Lin Yu is clearly mine!" Kushina pouted. After all, she was only ten years old. Her previous outburst had exhausted her brain cells. Now, facing Tsunade's rather shameless words, her small face turned anxious, as red as a ripe persimmon!
"Oho, Lin Yu isn't your private property. His ownership should belong to all of us!" Tsunade felt a bit smug seeing Kushina flustered. Teasing a little girl was quite fun.
Lin Yu agreed with the first half of Tsunade's sentence. He nodded in agreement. He, Lin Yu, didn't belong to anyone; *they* belonged to *him*!
However, upon hearing the latter half, Lin Yu's face turned as black as pitch. What did she mean by "ownership"! I, Lin Yu, am a person, not a commodity!
Lin Yu felt it was necessary to step forward and clarify. He coughed and said, "Cough, cough, I say…"
"You shut up!" Tsunade and Kushina yelled at Lin Yu simultaneously.
"Uh…"
Lin Yu was stunned. Weren't they fighting over me just now?
"It's all because of you! If you were going on a date, you should have just gone on a date and not brought a little girl!"
"Smelly Lin Yu, it's all your fault! If you had just directly refused this old woman, none of this trouble would have happened!"
Tsunade and Kushina exchanged a glance, both huffing and turning their heads away.
Alright, their sisterly bond lasted less than a minute. Was this what they called "plastic sisterhood"?
Lin Yu felt his future life was shrouded in darkness, as black as a pot that had been burnt for thirty years!
