Chapter 11 - 11.

Leaving the room, Tsunade took out a seal and sent chakra into it. The seal didn't do anything else and just sent a signal to its complementary seal.

When she was done, a smirk appeared on her face and Tsunade closed her eyes. She lay down on the bed and soon went to sleep as she knew that she would wake up soon.

In Land of Waves, Akane received the seal signal and he understood that Mito must have talked to Tsunade about the marriage. He lay down on the bed and created a Dreamspace. Akane changed the place to an open hot-spring bath and he entered inside with a mischievous smile on his face.

Then, he searched for Tsunade and since she was asleep, he pulled Tsunade into the dream.

Opening her eyes, Tsunade looked at the familiar place and she looked at Akane in the spring.

"You chose the place on purpose, right?" Tsunade asked as she made hand seals and created an Earth wall in between. Akane could easily remove the wall but he didn't as he knew that soon Tsunade would do it on her own.

It was just as he had thought, and after entering inside, Tsunade lowered the wall so that they could face each other and talk.

"You like me," She said, making Akane chuckle and he said, "You like me too,"

"If someone else likes you in future, will you reject her?" Tsunade asked with a flicker in her eyes and Akane said, "If I don't know or like her, then I would reject."

"But if I know and like her, it would be a troublesome matter."

"Does that mean that your harem will grow in future?" Tsunade asked with a frown on her face and Akane became silent at her words. A thoughtful look appeared on his face and Akane said, "Matters of heart are difficult to be rationalised and explained."

"But I will say that I definitely won't marry anyone just because I like them. Liking and loving are different, and I can say that I do love you and Kushina."

Akane said while staring into Tsunade's eyes, and her face turned red as she heard his confession. It would have been better if he could say he only loved her, but Tsunade won't deny that she loved his sense of responsibility and honest words.

"Mikoto Uchiha likes you too, you know that, right?" Tsunade asked and Akane didn't answer. He kept on staring at her, and feeling his expectant gaze, Tsunade understood what he wanted.

"I-I like you," She said and Tsunade's expression changed as she couldn't say love and only said like.

"Mm, I guess you are still conflicted about this harem thing. Well, it is to be expected since it isn't exactly right for you."

Akane said with a thoughtful look on his face but he couldn't hide the disappointment he felt. Hearing him, Tsunade looked down and a sigh escaped her lips.

"It really isn't fair but since when was life fair? I might be angry and a bit disappointed since I can't have you alone, but unlike many, at least I can get the bite of meat that they can only stare at."

Tsunade said with a chuckle as she compared him to a hot piece of meat, and Akane felt weird by her words.

"Ak-Kun, d-do you really love me and not just my body?" Tsunade asked with some uncertainty in her tone and Akane frowned at her words.

"You are beautiful but that's not the only reason why I love you. If you had bitchy or shitty personality, I wouldn't even glance at you even if you were the most beautiful in the world."

Akane said with love and distaste evident in his voice and Tsunade felt sweet as she heard the words.

"But, I am a gambler and," "I find it cute and will gamble with you anytime you want. I can earn enough for you to squander or you can gamble anytime here."

"I like to drink and," "I will accompany you to drink and then spend a drunk wild night in our room."

"I am violent and hot-tempered," "I know but that certainly adds to your charm. Besides, I like strong women, and it's a plus point, and I can calm you anytime so you are violent for others, not me."

Tsunade looked at Akane who answered every one of her 'weak' points and the sweet feeling she felt in her heart increased.

"Akane, I have one last question that I want you to answer," Tsunade said while suppressing the urge to rush to him and confess to him with a kiss, and Akane nodded at her words.

"D-Do you have anyone else you like or love that I don't know about?"

Tsunade said and she focused on his expression. Hearing her words, an image of a white-haired woman appeared in his mind and Akane nodded at her words.

A frown and some disappointment appeared on Tsunade's face as she saw his nod and Tsunade asked, "Who is she?"

"No one knows about her since her identity is somewhat secret and sensitive. I hope you can keep it a secret from Kaa-Chan and Granny, and the only reason why I am telling you is because you asked and are my fiancee now."

Tsunade felt displeasure as she heard his caring words and the place around them changed. They appeared in a cafe, and soon Tsunade saw a white-haired woman with pale skin and soft features. When the woman opened her, she saw clear white eyes and she had cut very short and round eyebrows, clearly showing a sign of nobility.

The woman wore a red shade of lipstick, and the most distinct features were the horns on her head and a third eye on the centre of her forehead.

The eye made Tsunade feel some pressure around her and when the woman narrowed her eyes at her, Tsunade felt like a mountain had been placed on her.

"Kaguya,"

Tsunade heard Akane calling her, and the pressure around her disappeared.

"Blond hair, good features and a diamond mark on forehead. You are Tsunade he had talked about in past."

Kaguya said as she looked at Tsunade and then turned to Akane, "Why did you bring her here? Didn't you ask me before and I denied it?"

"It's different this time. Before, I was bringing Tsunade so that you could have someone to talk to or have a friend beside me, but today I am introducing her as my fiancee to my woman."

Tsunade's expression changed as she heard the words and she felt the pressure appearing in her surroundings.

"Fiancee? Woman?" Kaguya whispered as she heard the words and she looked at Akane.

"There is no point in talking about this since I am sealed. If you can't get me out, then you will just die in future with me sealed like before."

"Since you really want me as your woman, I will accept you too. After all, you are the only person whom I can accompany, even if it is in a dream and I will accompany you till you die."

"After that, if I am unsealed in future, I will look for your remains and revive you."

Kaguya said with a calm expression on her face. For her, reviving a mortal is trivial since she can create life, and all she needs to do is search for his soul. If it doesn't work, she will use the Space-Time technique to go to the past and before he dies, she will get his soul and get back to the future.

"Haha, even after two years, the 'noble' personality of treating everything as trivial hasn't changed." Akane laughed as he heard her words and shook his head.

"But, I didn't expect that you would become a Kuudere," Akane said and Kaguya's expression changed at his words but she didn't respond. Tsunade looked at Akane and Kaguya, and she wondered just how he found her to be Kuudere as all she could see was a God-like being distinct from anyone else.

"You just need to get to know about her. She is a simple and cute woman, with terrifying strength and it wouldn't be wrong that she gave a major help in looking for Uzumakis and keeping them secure."

Akane said as he noticed Tsunade's uneaseiness and he held her hand. The warm hand started to calm Tsunade and she remembered that she couldn't be hurt in the place. Kaguya stared at the hand holding Tsunade's hand, and knowing what she was thinking, Akane chuckled and held her hand too.

Her eyes moved from the hand to Akane's face and Kaguya asked, "Did she ask about me?"

"No," Tsunade said before Akane could say anything and she held his hand tightly.

"I asked him if he has someone else he loves as a woman whom I don't know about since I have become his fiancee."

Kaguya nodded at the words and with some redness in her ears, she looked at Akane and said, "You could have just hidden since no one would know about it."

"But I don't want to," Akane said while shaking his head and Kaguya smiled at his response.

"Same as before, huh!" Kaguya said with a smile and Akane nodded at her words. He looked at Tsunade for a moment and said, "She knows about you since I have told her, so I will introduce her to you clearly."

"She is Kaguya Otsutsuki. As for other identities, let's not mention as for me, she is just Kaguya, and it would be the same for you all."

Akane said in a strong tone, and Tsunade looked at Kaguya. The smile on her face showed that Kaguya was happy with his words, and Tsunade understood that she didn't want her identity to be known.

"Do you need any help? I don't know why but you said that you are sealed. My grandma is an excellent seal master and she should be able to help you."

Tsunade asked and saw Kaguya shaking her head.

"He asked the same but since I can't even see the seal, I won't be able to describe it for 'unsealing'. So, there is nothing she can do, but if you want to free me, you will have to either do what he knows or blow what you call the moon."

Tsunade's expression changed as she heard the words and she looked at Akane, who nodded in response.

"Moon is a seal?" She asked with a shocked look and she didn't understand how can it be possible.

"Yeah it is, but let's not mention this matter for now," Akane said as he changed the topic and Tsunade accepted it for now and decided to ask the questions she had in her mind.

"Now that you have known about me, can I leave?" Kaguya said, making Tsunade feel weird and she heard, "She is bad at relationships and doesn't know how to deal with hers."

"And no, you can't leave."

Akane said to Tsunade first and then Kaguya. Kaguya nodded in response and Tsunade felt some pain in her head.

Everything happening was too surprising for her, and Tsunade didn't know what to feel now.

"It's okay. It might have been surprising and shocking but I feel relieved that someone else can now meet Kaguya too. Tsunade, I hope that you can talk to Kaguya more and get to know her, Can you?"

"If you don't want to--" "I will,"

Tsunade said before he could continue and Akane sighed in relief. If it was Kushina, the matter might have become troublesome and Akane smiled at Tsunade and said, "I am happy to have you here, Tsunade."

Her face turned red as she heard the words and Kaguya muttered, "You do this and say these words on purpose, don't you? Unlike those oblivious stupid things."

"Mm? So? Is it wrong to say what I feel like?" Akane asked while staring at Kaguya, who glanced at him and then turned her head away.

"It's stupid and embarrassing," She muttered, and her words explained what Tsunade was feeling at the moment.

"But we don't hate it, right?" Kaguya said as she stared at Tsunade, who could only nod with a red face.
