Chapter 4, Stars

"What did you call me?"

Upon hearing this, Tsunade looked at Raijin, her chin slightly raised, her tone carrying a hint of threat.

Having walked for over two hours without getting out of this damned forest, Tsunade's mood had already become quite ugly.

Now seeing the clean and tidy Raijin, Tsunade's mood became even uglier.

But it must be said that Raijin, after tidying up, looked even better. His delicate little face, which was already rosy and white, was no longer as embarrassed as it was in the morning.

His chubby little face made people want to pinch it.

A head of medium-length black hair was tied behind his head with a hair tie, a few disobedient strands of hair fell to his forehead, adding a bit of messy beauty.

Tsunade didn't know how to describe it, there was only one most genuine thought in her heart.

This kid is really good-looking.

Well, the Uchiha family's looks have always been very strong.

"Tch... I only said your name"

Raijin looked at Tsunade in front of him with a smile that was not quite a smile. The rising bad thoughts made Raijin's smile at the corner of his mouth unable to be suppressed.

Especially seeing Tsunade's embarrassed look at this time.

It was completely comparable to his own in the morning.

Only one of the two sheep horn braids was left, the other one had disappeared because the rubber band didn't know where it had been hung.

The handsome little face was full of impatience and sweat stains.

Raijin knew that it was not tired, it was anxious.

Perhaps the short encounter in the morning left a very deep impression of Tsunade in Raijin's heart.

In short, looking at Tsunade in this state now, Raijin felt... quite comfortable.

Tsunade's face began to calm down. From a young age, her family taught Tsunade that in battle, she must always keep a rational mind.

Anger will only make you lose your reason.

Tsunade walked towards Raijin step by step.

Uh...

As Tsunade approached, Raijin retreated subconsciously. He wanted to have a go with Tsunade, but he couldn't bring himself to do anything to a four-year-old girl.

"Tsunade sister~ Are you lost?"

Raijin asked Tsunade as he retreated.

"I'm training Taijutsu."

Upon hearing this, Tsunade stopped, looked at Raijin seriously, and said.

"Have you had lunch yet?"

Upon hearing this, Raijin suppressed the urge to laugh out loud, a faint smile on his face, and asked Tsunade.

"We Senju children only eat two meals a day, what are you laughing at?"

Tsunade glanced at Raijin, her small fists clenched tightly.

Perhaps due to psychological reasons, in Tsunade's eyes, the faint smile on Raijin's face seemed like a mockery that saw through her poor lie.

"Gurgle~"

But just at this moment, Tsunade's stomach growled.

"Laugh? It's a way of showing kindness, I brought a lunch box."

Raijin answered Tsunade's question while taking out the lunch box that Matsuri had packed for him from his small backpack.

Ignoring the strange noise from Tsunade's body and her now red face, Raijin just handed the lunch box to Tsunade.

"Do you want to try it?"

Although there was some unpleasantness in the morning, seeing such a small child, or rather, a girl, in such a predicament at this time, Raijin still felt quite uncomfortable.

In the world where Raijin once lived, a girl of this age should be the little treasure in the palm of her parents.

But now, she has already started this level of training.

Sigh...

This damn world.

Thinking about it, I seem to be quite pitiful.

Tsunade looked at the lunch box that Raijin had handed over, her eyes flickering slightly.

Is this a way of showing kindness?

A faint smile also appeared on Tsunade's face as she took the lunch box from Raijin's hand.

"Didn't you go home at noon, didn't your family look for you?"

It was midsummer at this time, and the afternoon was still a bit hot, so Raijin and Tsunade sat by a small stream, chatting casually.

"My dad and mom have gone on a mission, my second grandfather is busy every day, my grandfather... has passed away."

Tsunade was eating the lunch box that Raijin had brought, and it looked like she should be very hungry.

But this is normal. Although the children of the Senju family are naturally strong, they also have a large appetite. Not eating lunch, even if it is only delayed by two hours, is very painful.

"I see..."

Raijin pursed his lips, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"I'm sorry..."

Raijin pursed his lips and said somewhat apologetically.

Relatively speaking, Tsunade is worse off. Although I have never seen my grandfather, but like Tsunade, after getting it and then losing it, it is actually worse.

"You're a strange person."

Tsunade was taken aback, somewhat puzzled as to why Raijin was apologizing to her.

"My grandfather just became a star and went to the sky, he is still watching me in the sky."

Tsunade raised her head and looked at the sky. Even though the sun was very dazzling at this time, it still couldn't cover the light in Tsunade's eyes.

"Yes, your grandfather has become a star in the sky, and he has been watching you."

Raijin said with a light laugh when he heard this, so he was still a naive child.

"Anyway, we will all become stars in the sky in the future, won't we?"

Tsunade lowered her head, the mist in her eyes quietly condensed, not knowing whether it was because the sun was too dazzling, or because the wind had blown her eyes.

Tsunade felt that this person was really annoying. If he didn't apologize, she wouldn't feel anything.

Raijin was taken aback, turned his head in surprise to look at Tsunade who was lowering her head.

Swallowing subconsciously, Raijin laughed dryly.

"Well, we will all become stars in the sky, but if possible, I hope that when I become a star, it will come later."

Yes, Tsunade is just young, not stupid. The children of this world are overly precocious, how could they not know what death means?

"Hmm? How late?"

Tsunade was taken aback when she heard this, and casually asked Raijin.

"Ah... if I'm doing well, I hope it will never come, if I'm not doing well, I hope it will come the next moment."

Raijin said to Tsunade upon hearing this.

"What counts as doing well?"

Tsunade was eating the rice in her hand while asking Raijin.

"For example, right now, I just want to become a star in the sky."

Raijin sighed, lying on the ground, this damn training, Raijin really didn't want to experience it for a second!
