Chapter 371: Humility and Acceptance

As rude as Naruto was, if he made love to Tsunade, everything would change. Half of this lonely woman's phobias will immediately melt on their own, and when he gives her what he wants, he will uncover a true woman in her. Perfection will be achieved.

Shizune understood all this better than others, because she personally experienced his skill and charm. So now, it remains only to guide the teacher on the right path.

She continued, with a wise look:

- As you can see, I applied this method on myself and now I feel the happiest in the world. So you can do it too. But first, we'll start with the first step, and I promise you, the second one will be very close, you won't even have to go very far. Very soon, in less than a couple of weeks, you will look at your current self and just laugh. You will be happy, I promise you.

Tsunade frowned even more.

"Sounds crazy… Besides, isn't it because of your married boyfriend that you became like this?"

She could not argue with the student's changes, she just became a different person! Sparkling with youth and sexuality, bright and lively. Yes, even thirty years ago, Shizune was not so radiant and feminine.

It would be a lie to say that Tsunade didn't want to be like that...

The problem is that this method did not suit her! She was not going to sleep with all sorts of nonentities. She didn't just keep her virginity for decades. All these pitiful imitations of men aroused in her only one contempt. Tsunade vowed to die a virgin rather than have any kind of relationship with the unworthy at all.

- You did not understand me...

Shizune saw right through her.

"You won't have to start a relationship with some passer-by!" - She diplomatically ignored the question about "her boyfriend".

Tsunade hit right on target. It's really about the guy. Fortunately now she was not in a position to focus on this.

"Hmmm…" The girl stood up and looked at the resolute student with narrowed eyes. Her zealous desire to help restored her former courage. She decided to try...

"I don't know what you have in mind, but… If it really works, then I will do as you said. But if it's something nasty and it's about dirty men, I swear, Shizune, you'll regret it!

"It's not like that, I told you!"

Surprisingly, Tsunade recovered quickly. After a moment of pain, rage and longing, she again found the strength to live on.

Shizune did a good job...

Tsunade gave her a wary look, then grunted and raised her voice.

"And one more thing… Don't even dare to remind me of what I just told you. No one should know about my feelings for him! And even more so! You say a word, I'll choke ...

Her eyes trembled. Even though it looked like a threat, she was actually asking her to keep her sad secret...

Shizune actively waved her hands, trying to defuse the situation:

"What are you, Tsunade-sama! I have kept your secrets all my life. When did I say something? I want to help you!

"Hmm... I know," Tsunade gave a short nod and turned away in embarrassment, and then whispered uncertainly:

"Try to mention this topic less… Please." And... S-sorry.

Opening up to Shizune wasn't really that good, Tsunade even felt a little better. Although embarrassing, but still she always understood her and supported her. She is not the type of person to judge her. Maybe I should have told her earlier...

"It doesn't matter anymore..." - It still didn't solve the problem. Besides, apparently, Shizune already knew about everything, but for some reason decided to talk about it now.

So ashamed and at the same time... Suspicious.

Tsunade squinted at her student, but didn't dare to ask. She didn't really want to bring up the subject again, which made her feel even more miserable. Even Shizune found a boyfriend, Sakura actually had a child despite her ridiculous husband, but what about her?

Virginity at twenty is a reason for pride, at thirty it is already a question, and at forty and fifty it is disappointment and pain. But... At seventy... Tsunade Senju happens.

She gathered her strength and accepted the fact that all of her problems were known to Shizune. In that case, does she really have a method?

"Eh... Something I strongly doubt..." But seeing the full enthusiasm of the student's face, Tsunade still exhaled and agreed.

— Okay... Let's go before I change my mind.

"Um," looking back at the resolute Tsunade, Shizune playfully remarked:

- What about the shower?

The girl stopped abruptly, gritted her teeth, and then blushed deeply. Suddenly an important question arose!

"Damn it..."

To go to him dirty is too shameful and humiliating, but to go clean ... Doesn't this mean that she hopes for something? Maybe for the next harassment? Why smell good around him at all? If nothing happens... But, on the other hand...

"I'm not for him... Everyone takes a shower in the morning..." Tsunade frowned.

"Sounds like an excuse! As if he cares about my scent? your own mother..."

She darkened. Out of pride, she didn't want to bathe, but at the same time... Everything again came down to him!

— Aaargh! Infuriates! Tsunade whirled around, grabbed Shizune's arm and growled impatiently.

- Let's go already! Or I'm not responsible for myself!

The girl smiled sweetly and followed her...

Everything worked out! Mentally, she exulted.

"She's so cute when she's angry..." But, Shizune still thought about it. The question with the shower made her nervous too ...

"Maybe it was worth insisting? If the Owner takes her in this form, then she will remember me for it ... Bliiin!

Now Shizune was also gloomy. What if the Master doesn't like it?

Tsunade, meanwhile, had other feelings. Going against herself, she nevertheless decided not to take a shower, and, slightly sweaty, went to meet him. It was embarrassing and annoying. But pride took over, and she could no longer back down.

In the end I had to put up...
