Chapter 373: A way to stop everything
Tsunade's sincere tears made Shizune slightly doubt his act. Be that as it may, she still considered her a close person, and therefore she stopped pressing, let go and hurried to explain:
"I know you too well... It just can't..."
But even when she tried, she only met the sad gaze of a lonely woman. Tsunade wasn't listening at all...
Shizune immediately became angry!
How can you behave like this? If you love, then you need to give everything for the sake of it!
Shizune immediately realized that simply supporting the cause will not help, a slap in the face is needed here! And filled with determination, she began to act:
Do you still care about Dan?
Tsunade slowly raised her trembling eyes.
This question brought her to her senses, and after the next one, her eyebrows twitched.
Or your virginity? Or maybe the inability to conceive? CHeCk for new stories on no/v/el/bin(.)c0m
Resentment flickered in her eyes, sparkling with tears.
"Shizune... What are you..."
She touched on the most painful topics. It's already out of scope!
But she did not stop:
Or age? Oh wait... Maybe it's because of your bad habits? Few people know, but you love yourself so much..." Shizune giggled derisively, glancing between her legs.
- Oh you! "Tsunade's rage boiled up!"
But Shizune seemed to not care about the consequences - she dealt blow after blow. Her knowledge of this woman became a real weapon.
- Yeah... It's funny. Maybe you're worried that you fell in love with the boy? Or was his marriage so debilitating that you ran away with your tail between your legs? - Ridicules rained down one after another:
Shizune couldn't let that happen.
- You're not right. She said bitterly, causing Tsunade to slowly turn around.
"Wh-what?"
Shizune couldn't use herself as an example and talk about how much her situation was similar to that of sensei, because she could make it worse. But she knew another way. The master will decide everything, she only had to make Tsunade stay and convince her not to run away this time.
Now that it's open, things are a lot easier.
"There is a way to stop feeling this pain.
Tsunade remained silent, looking at her student with subdued hope. She could express contempt with something like: "I already tried, why do you think I have been drinking for so many years?".
But, Shizune clearly knew about it. Then, was there really another way to forget?
Shizune got up from the bed, removed her hand from her red cheek and said seriously:
"You just need to do two things.
— Two?
- Right. First: stop hiding and then come with me and talk to him. Even if it's scary or ashamed, whatever it is... You need to meet him face to face and at least listen to what he has to say. If you run away again, then once again confirm your cowardice and you will become much worse.
Tsunade frowned. In a certain sense, she herself understood this. It's not that hard to do this...
— And... And what's the second?
— It's simple. Shizune smiled confidently, "You need to find peace."
- What nonsense...
"Hmm, I knew you would say that. Alcohol and games - no peace! I'm not talking about ways to escape from reality, but about a method to accept yourself and move on.
Shizune knew the best way to do it, but Tsunade was not worth knowing about yet. As soon as the first step is taken, everything will happen by itself. In the process, the Master simply makes her gain lightness and perfection of spirit. In addition, knowing from her own experience, Shizune had no doubt that Tsunade, even with her stubbornness in the process, would accept the situation, if only because of her feelings for him.
