Chapter 97

Title: Princess Erika​​

The girl was very cheerful and left the stands without any worries.

Akabane and Tsunade follow behind, they glance at each other and then sighed inaudibly.

"By the way, I haven't asked yet, what is your name?" asks Tsunade.

"Che, why should I tell you!"

Leaving the stand where her grandfather is, her image drastically changed for the worse.

If in front of her grandfather she looks like a well-behaved princess, now she is like a demon king in her human form.

Ignoring Tsunade, she came over excitedly to Akabane's side and asked: "Are you Akabane big brother?"

"Um…"

Akabane didn't know how to answer.

Because Tsunade at this moment is trying to suppress her anger.

"I always thought that those who paint and publish books are either old men or bald because I feel that they have to think about a lot of problems every day, but I didn't expect you to be surprisingly handsome!"

The girl didn't wait for Akabane's answer and started to talk excitedly about her though while jumping around.

And at this time–

Bang!

With a loud noise, the girl, Akabane, and many guards in the stands jumped out in surprise when they heard it.

Looking around for the cause of it, they saw Tsunade clenching her fist with her face red with anger.

And besides her was a big tree beaten into two with a fist mark clearly seen on its center.

The girl who saw it trembled instantly, her eyelids couldn't help but twitch in fear.

Tsunade took a deep breath, then raised her head and looked at the girl and said with a cute smile on her face.

"It's okay, a bug just flew over, I was so scared that I killed it with a punch."

"Uh…n-no, no, it's nothing."

The girl stutteringly answered.

Looking at Tsunade's smile, of course, she was frightened, and thought 'how could such a slender and weak-looking body burst out with such terrifying power?'

"By the way, what is your name?"

Tsunade's smile did not diminish, but it became more delicate when she asked again.

"Erika, you can just call me Erika." the girl hurriedly answered.

too terrifying!

Grandfather, I want to go home…

Seeing this smile, her body unconsciously takes a step back. And although she still looked okay outside, inside she was already crying and was shouting for help from her grandpa.

"It seems that they are getting along well."

Uzumaki Mito, who saw it, said with a smile while ignoring the drama below.

No matter what, her Tsunade will definitely not lose.

"Senju Clan's power…still so terrifying."

The Daimyo sighed softly.

Senju Clan's strength has certainly been seen before. After the death of Hashirama and Tobirama, Tsunade who was their granddaughter definitely inherited their genes for being outstanding like her two grandfathers.

Plus those ninjas…

"Ninja inheritance has nothing to do with the bloodline."

The Third Hokage immediately clarified knowing where the Daimyo's train of thought was going.

In fact, Daimyo's idea is very simple. He believes that Konoha is strong because of the Senju and Uchiha Clan, he didn't know anything about Konoha, he just based it on what he witnessed right now. 

The Third Hokage inviting him over, was not just for them to discuss with each other but also to show the strength and might of Konoha.

"Yes, although they are gone, but the Will of Fire has been inherited by its people ." The Third Hokage continued.

Hearing it the Daimyo sighed complicatedly.

"Konoha belongs to the Land of Fire, and only when Konoha is strong did foreign countries dare not stretch their hand where it didn't belong."

Uzumaki Mito said with a hidden meaning in her words that the Daimyo and the Third Hokage can easily understand.

---

Tsunade, Akabane, and the Princess named Erika continued walking on the road leading down the mountain.

Erika was waiting for her Grandfather to take her away from here for a long time but no one took her away which made her ashamed in return.

She didn't believe that the Daimyo didn't hear it with such a loud sound from earlier, 

so she didn't hope for help coming for her.

"Let's go, Erika, I'll take you around, it's fun here."

Tsunade said with a smile.

"Okay, let's walk around."

Erika answered stiffly, she walked faster on Tsunade's side, not daring to walk slower at all.

From beginning to end, Akabane is on the sidelines watching the drama between the two little girls.

This girl knows Tsunade's identity and still deliberately provokes her.

But there is a saying called only one tiger can remain in the mountain as a lord so obviously Tsunade was more frightening than the girl thought so she can only obey Tsunade.

In comparison, Tsunade's performance surprised him even more.

Although her method is simple and crude, but the result is successful, even the Third Hokage and the Daimyo didn't interfere.

This is Tsunade's conscious planning, not a reckless or angry shot.

"This is probably her fighting wisdom,"

Akabane mumbled to himself.

But what he is more looking forward to is how Tsunade will fix this scheming princess next.

After going down the mountain…

Looking at the route where they are going, Akabane felt that Erika might be bankrupt today.

Sure enough, their first stop is where a familiar face Shin Yūhi was located.

Shin Yūhi's merchandise is fan art. He doesn't have the slick mind of Jiraiya, so he picks a spot and starts painting for customers to watch.

If it weren't for Tsunade, the average person would not come to him.

"Hey, there are still people painting here!"

Erika was surprised when she saw Shin painting something.

"Didn't I say it, I will take you to have fun."

Tsunade smiled brightly.

Shin Yūhi was originally focused on his painting, and just finished painting one at this time, so he looked up and glanced at the source of the voice, but what he saw surprised him.

He doesn't recognize the person next to Tsunade and Akabane, but he can guess that she is a princess just by looking at her fancy attire.

"Shin, she is Princess Erika, and she wants to buy your paintings, you can pick a few good ones."

Tsunade said.

"Huh? I'm giving it…"

Shin Yūhi was taken aback when he heard her, he didn't plan to make a profit from this and planned to give it for free, but before he finished what he was about to say he was interrupted by Tsunade.

"No no no, the money must be given, the money must be given…"

Erika bit her lips hearing it, and then took out the money from her pocket and handed it casually. 

"Uh, I have no money, so I can't find change for it."

Shinku Yuhi said sheepishly, seeing how much money she gave.

"It's okay, you can take the rest since it's only a little money."

Erika said lightly.

Who made her have big denominations in her pocket… It can be seen that maintaining a face takes a lot of money.

However, seeing Shin Yūhi's fan art, she suddenly appeared in ecstasy.

She thought that Tsunade would try to make her lose her money, but the quality of the paintings is surprisingly good, not inferior to the original work!

"Shin level in terms of drawing can be ranked second among people I have seen, so his painting level will not be too bad."

Akabane said with a slight smile.

"Second?"

"Akabane big brother, who is the first?"

Shin Yūhi and Erika asked curiously at the same time when they heard that there is also someone good at drawing.

"Well, it's Grandma Mito."

Akabane answered.

Uzumaki Mito's innate talent can only be described as terrific.

Painting, designing, and even guiding planning have reached a high level in just a few days.

"Huh?"

Shin Yūhi was stunned, while Erika became more curious.

Thinking of Uzumaki Mito that was next to her Grandfather, she can only sigh regretfully.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the next place. There are many wonderful and interesting performances in this comic show."

Tsunade is smiling and wants to take her to the next place.

Akabane glanced in the direction where they were going next, the next place in this position seemed to be Jiraiya.

To pit the little girl like this, this little girl is too terrifying…

"I saw it, there seems to be another painting in front." Erika excitedly said, she already forgot Tsunade's scary side.

"Yes, This guy is called Jiraiya."

Tsunade indifferently said.

"Jiraiya, it sounds like a strong person."

Erika is looking forward to it just from hearing the name, Konoha really has many hidden dragons and crouching tigers, besides Akabane there are so many painting experts.

Tsunade snickered seeing her being excited, then said sternly: "Go and see it for yourself, if you like something, just buy it yourself."

"Good, good!"

Hearing Tsunade, Erika became happy, this time she didn't need to buy what she didn't like, and thought 'at least she respected my wish as a consumer.'

She got into the crowd and found that there were mostly men around.

But she didn't think too much in her heart and squeezed in the front.

"Is it okay?" Akabane couldn't help but ask curiously.

"What's the matter, there are not many good birds in the Daimyo anyway."

Tsunade curled her lips and answered, without any sympathy.

"No, I mean Jiraiya, it's not easy for him to draw a picture you know."

Akabane sighs.

He has already imagined what will happen when Erika sees what kind of drawing Jiraiya is selling.

And sure enough!

"Ah…what are you doing, put it down… put it down, no, my painting, my painting!"

A scream was heard inside the crowd of men begging for something followed by Erika's angry voice.

"Who asked you to paint something disgusting like this, I will pay you with money but you are not allowed to paint this kind of thing!"

After Erika finished speaking, she rushed out of the crowd gasping with rage.

Following Erika, Jiraiya who saw Tsunade angrily said, "Ahh! It's you smelly airport again. Do you think it's easy for me to draw an Art masterpiece?"

"It has nothing to do with me. Don't blame me for your idiocy."

Tsunade waved her hand and answered calmly, ignoring what he called her.

Seeing that Tsunade didn't fly in rage like always, he looked carefully at Erika.

Looking at her dress, Jiraiya immediately backs down since from her fancy dress alone, he can guess who she is.

"Get lost smelly airport, you are in the way of my business."

Jiraiya waved his hand and didn't dare to blame Erika, and he didn't want to see them again.

Akabane who was at the side looked at the pictures that looked like confetti and immediately felt sorry for Jiraiya who thought of it as a masterpiece.

It seems the road of art was bumpy and rugged for him.

There are so many words he wants to say to him but in the end, he can only say...

"Keep it up."

Akabane sighed softly.

Jiraiya who heard Akabane almost cried when he heard 'Keep it up' for the thought of Akabane cheering for him.

Seeing his face, Tsunade patted his shoulder and said, "Keep it up." then flicked her hair to let Erika follow.

But instead of feeling grateful Jiraiya instead became angry when he heard the word coming from Tsunade that it made him gnash his teeth.

This guy now looks like an owner who is holding a dog that was biting him, but he doesn't even dare to say anything to her.
