*Chapter 109: The Scene of a Dutiful Daughter*

"You've really done your homework," Tsunade said with a mix of emotions on her face. The scene of giving birth to Chika flashed through her mind. After a brief pause, she replied, "Maybe it was Chika’s birth. After I had her, my hemophobia disappeared."

"So, you're saying that your emotional trauma was healed by Chika?" Aizen asked, enlightened.

He vaguely remembered that Tsunade developed hemophobia after the deaths of her brother, Nawaki, and Dan Kato, which caused her immense emotional pain.

Later, in the battle against Orochimaru and Kabuto, Tsunade saw the spirits of Nawaki and Dan in Naruto's fearless actions, which helped her overcome her fear of blood.

Tsunade nodded slightly. She didn’t know how Aizen had such detailed knowledge, but she didn’t deny it. She then changed the subject, "Speaking of which, you jerk, I don’t think you’ve ever told me who you really are, have you? Someone with your skills can’t just be an ordinary ninja."

"Haven’t I told you?" Aizen played dumb. Right now, he was just using a bet and his overwhelming strength to make Tsunade accept him.

He hadn’t fully won her heart yet.

If she found out that he had wiped out her teacher’s clan in the past...

She’d probably put her pants on and leave him immediately.

This matter needed to be handled carefully and slowly.

"What do you think?" Tsunade narrowed her eyes and stared closely at Aizen.

"I guess I haven’t..." Aizen looked away, feeling guilty, then cleared his throat and said, "My name is Aizen,

He didn’t reveal his full name, only his first name from his past life.

"Aizen, huh?" Tsunade thought for a moment but realized that since she had retired early, she had no recollection of anyone with that name.

Just as Tsunade was about to ask more questions, they arrived at the inn room, and Aizen knocked on the door.

The door opened, and Shizune peeked out, exclaiming in surprise, "It’s you! And Lady Tsunade, why are you two...?"

She was stunned at the sight of them holding hands, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Especially when she noticed the ring on Tsunade's left ring finger, her jaw almost dropped.

Aizen smiled slightly, "As you can see, your Lady Tsunade has agreed to marry me."

"Alright, enough chatter, let’s just get inside," Tsunade blushed, pushing Aizen into the room, her neck turning a light shade of pink.

Tsunade had booked a standard double room.

As they entered the room, Aizen and Tsunade saw Chika lying on one of the beds, playing with Tonton. The little girl noticed them and her big round eyes lit up.

"Ah! It’s Mommy! And Big Brother..." she said, throwing herself into Aizen's arms.

Tsunade opened her arms, "Come here, my sweet girl."

But just as she was about to embrace her, she realized that Chika had jumped into Aizen’s arms instead.

Tsunade froze on the spot.

"Big Brother, old hag didn’t hurt you, did she?" Chika whispered into Aizen’s ear.

"Uh..." Aizen twitched at the corner of his mouth. Is there a daughter in this world who calls her own mother an 'old hag'?

"Ahem," Aizen cleared his throat, holding Chika as he turned to Tsunade with a smile. "Tsunade, do you want to tell her, or should I?"

"I’ll do it," Tsunade sighed helplessly, then said to Chika, "Chika, do you remember the father I told you about?"

"Yeah." Chika nodded, confused but listening.

Tsunade continued, "He’s not some ugly monster, and I didn’t kick him out. It's complicated, but you just need to know that he’s standing right in front of you now. Aizen is your biological father."

Boom.

Chika was struck like lightning. Her face turned pale, and her eyes welled up with tears. She looked up at Aizen, weakly asking, "Big Brother... is that true?"

"It’s true, Chika. I wasn’t there for you and your mom all these years. That’s my fault," Aizen nodded.

Still unwilling to believe it, Chika turned to Shizune. "Is it true, Sister Shizune?"

Shizune, touched by the family reunion and the fact that Tsunade, at her age, was finally getting married, wiped her tears and answered, "It’s true, Miss Chika. It was unexpected, but he really is your biological father."

With Shizune’s confirmation, Chika couldn’t hold back any longer and burst into tears.

"Mommy, you’re so mean!"

But what she said next completely baffled everyone.

It was Aizen who hadn’t been around for years, but why was Chika blaming her mother, Tsunade?

The atmosphere in the room, which should have been emotional, suddenly became... strange.

Aizen, Tsunade, and Shizune exchanged confused looks. Shizune walked over to Aizen and, hesitating, whispered to Chika in his arms, "Miss, didn’t you just yell at the wrong person?"

"No, I meant it. Mommy is a bad person," Chika sobbed, her eyes red.

"Why, sweetheart? What did I do wrong?" Tsunade asked, genuinely confused.

Aizen also looked puzzled. "Yeah, it was me who wasn’t there for you all these years. Why are you mad at your mom?"

"Because... because..." Chika’s crying slowed, and she averted her eyes from Aizen. Her face blushed as she shyly whispered, "Because if Big Brother becomes my dad, I can’t be his girlfriend when I grow up..."

Crack— As soon as Chika said that, the floor beneath Tsunade cracked and splintered, spreading all the way to the wall before stopping.

She lowered her head slightly, her hair hanging loosely, her eyes hidden in the shadows.

At that moment, Tsunade radiated an aura of danger and fury that was unmistakable.

Everyone knew: Tsunade, the legendary Sannin and Slug Princess, was about to explode.

"Lady Tsunade... stay calm. We really can’t afford to pay for any damages to the inn," Shizune said nervously, swallowing hard.

"Shizune, take Chika out of here," Tsunade said in a low voice.

"Lady Tsunade..." Shizune tried to say something but was silenced by Tsunade’s violent glare.

"Take her out!" Tsunade commanded fiercely.

"Yes, ma'am." Shizune gave Aizen a sympathetic glance, then took Chika from his arms and left the room.

Even Tonton, the pet pig, scurried out, afraid of getting caught in the chaos.
