Chapter 36

Tsunade kept thinking about everything till now!!! did she liked him?? like in couple?? if she doesn't then why was she that bashful with his parents?? with her coming to watch him over and over the last 3-4 months??? why was she embarrassed with the dirty jokes they made.....

Did she really fall for him... or was it because what everyone said, and by the orders of Hokage was thrown to him....

She closed her eyes and recalled the time they spent together..... Linley who watched this didn't know what to feel.... he simply started walking away from there with almost no emotions.....

After almost a minute, Tsunade opened her eyes and froze.... she couldn't find Linley in the vicinity...

Eeeehh where did he go.... : Tsunade

She searched high and low and couldn't see a trace of him it was as if he had vanished both from there and her life....

She stood there in the cold forest and small rock walls and she didn't know what she was feeling... she thought she found her answer..... but now she wasn't sure.....

She left from there and went to the Academy, after a few hours she managed to reach the barracks he stayed and he wasn't there.. she even saw the boy who kept watching him....

For some reason she was pissed and went towards him... when the boy saw she was coming to him he panicked.....

Hey..... Uchiha Fugaku.... do you happened to see Linley?? : Tsunade

Ahahaha if it isn't Big sis Tsunade..... : Fugaku

Tsunade when she heard him calling her Big sis her eyelashes trembled a bit.... why does it bother me that this kid called me that.... didn't we played together in the past???

Fugaku did you see him or not?? I know you were secretly watching him for almost 4 months.... : Tsunade

Ahh yes.... yes he did come a and left a few minutes at least 20 minutes earlier from when you came... : Fugaku

Damn, I lost time while I was searching for him and pondering.....

Do you know where he went?? : Tsunade

He spoke in 2 Chunnins.... one girl - one boy and after that, he left.... I couldn't hear what they were saying as I was far away..... : Fugaku

Did you managed to read their lips with your awakened Sharingan?? : Tsunade

Unfortunately no.... : Fugaku

I see..... then go back you should know that this place is only for students and officially genin and upper ranks.... : Tsunade

Yes yes I'll leave now.... : Fugaku

After he said that Fugaku's figure vanished in the horizon... while Tsunade had a dark face.. she thought was it possible he somehow learned about Hokage's orders??

No that's definitely not it..... I didn't give him any signs about that.... then can it be that when he asked me if I like him.... he took my silence as no?? : Tsunade

No that's not it as well... otherwise he wouldn't leave, he would have waited... then what was it?? : Tsunade

She racked her Brain in order to find what happened but the more she thought she was getting closer and closer... she felt something bothering inside her.....

After pondering for a few more minutes she finally felt the chills in her back as she opened her eyes wide open.....

Can it be..... both?? I know he likes me very much from the way he treated me..... then did he realize the Hokage's intent from that meeting?? or even further back when the clans wanted to bethrow someone to him?? : Tsunade

She felt her insides tighten.... then despite all that he still treated me as such?? and when he took my silence as no... he crumbled and left..... Did he really liked me that much not caring about orders and such???

Tsunade finally realised why she felt she would lose something.... and now with Linley gone, it was too late....
