It was later in the night as Inugami arrived at the door to their room in the inn. Before he entered, he could already smell that his teammates were inside.
"What in the hell happened to you?!"
Ino's shrill question was justified, after all, there was a bright red imprint of a fist on his cheek. Inugami didn't know if Tsunade held back on purpose or simply was too drunk to throw a deadly punch. Whatever it was, he was lucky that nothing broke in his face, not that it didn't come close to it. That woman's strength was terrifying.
"I've met the legendary Tsunade."
""What?!"" Ino and Hinata shouted in disbelief, and even Hanabi looked taken aback.
"Are you sure you just didn't hit your head in a bar brawl?" Ino asked skeptically.
Inugami snorted. "You know that I don't make such statements without knowing for sure. I've met her."
That was enough for the group, as Ino and Hinata got stars in their eyes.
"To think that THE Tsunade is here. She is my idol! And now even more after she polished your face, what would I give to have seen it. Guess you were your usual charming self, bahahaha!" Ino, as always, was able to annoy Inugami.
"I-I'm also a fan. I find it admirable that someone so capable in healing is also such a strong fighter. I wonder what kind of person she is…" Inugami never saw Hinata being so excited. He wondered what she would think about Tsunade, if she would have actually met her.
"I guess… she is feisty?" Inugami said absently while rubbing his injured cheek.
Of course he himself was also excited after meeting the woman. Besides the obvious reasons, he was also interested greatly in her abilities, especially since he studied medicine in his last life. And while he didn't like it, it was completely different when you put magic into it. It was just too much of a valuable skill not to learn it. And the perfect person to learn it from would be her…
Not that Inugami had any delusions about that ever happening. In fact with all the things different in this time-line, Naruto included, Tsunade would most likely never decide to return to Konoha. She would keep her nomadic, gambling- and alcohol-addicted lifestyle, while wallowing in depression over her past until her death… And to think that in the original Tsunade improved so much because Naruto simply being Naruto. Anime-Naruto's charisma was just something else…
"Focus!" Inugami was brought out of his musings by the cold voice of his teacher. "While I can understand that the prospect of meeting such an esteemed person is exciting, it doesn't change the fact we are still on a mission."
Hearing that, Ino and Hinata calmed down, though with some reluctance. Hanabi nodded at them. Then she focused her gaze on Inugami.
"Our team couldn't make any progress tonight, I wanted to ask if you got something."
"Hmm, let's see… Jin!"
The ever silent puppy came out of his shadow by his command. Despite his team having seen him a few times by now, their gazes still held curiosity and wonder as they looked at him.
"Do you have something?"
Jin nodded. Inugami turned his head back to his team. "There you have it. Who is down for a midnight stroll under the moonlight?"
