Upon hearing Shizune's words, Tsunade smiled and said, "I'll help you then. I believe we can quickly produce chakra restoring pills here."
"Thank you, Lady Tsunade!" Shizune immediately responded respectfully.
Tsunade had already learned about Shizune's presence and understood why she had behaved that way last night.
Thinking about how she was now going to be the mentor of someone who was technically older than her, as well as having a niece and disciple, Tsunade was at a loss.
As for this Dan Kato, she was even more clueless.
Although she knew about the kato clan in Konoha, she had no knowledge about this particular individual. Shizune didn't elaborate much on the matter either.
Nodding, Tsunade continued to enjoy the delicious ramen.
Soon, the ramen was completely consumed by the three of them. After finishing lunch, Charles looked at Shizune and then at Tsunade.
Considering that Iruka and the others were not around and Ginny was busy with other matters, he said, "Tsunade, I'll take you to the continental hotel to handle your identification, and also show you around this world."
"Great!" Tsunade had no objections to Charles's arrangement.
Shizune glanced at Charles with a puzzled expression. It was usually Iruka or Ginny who handled their identification. She was surprised that today, Lord Charles was personally taking Lady Tsunade for the process.
However, considering that those two were currently not at the office, Shizune didn't dwell on it further. Yet, she could sense the high regard Charles had for Tsunade.
They arrived at the garage, and Charles started his car, taking Tsunade towards the continental hotel. Sitting in the car, Tsunade felt it and commented, "This car of yours is pretty good, and it looks cool too."
Although there were cars in the ninja world, they hadn't been developed during the Second Shinobi World War. Walking or using horse-drawn carriages was the norm then, and automobiles and trains were not yet in use.
Smiling at Tsunade's praise, Charles replied, "This car isn't the coolest, though. If we have time, I'll take you to see other new models; there are even cooler ones there. If you like any of them, you can buy one for yourself to enjoy."
"Let's see when the time comes."
Tsunade didn't immediately agree but instead opened the car window and started looking at the scenery outside.
Everything in New York seemed very novel to Tsunade - the peaceful living environment, the bustling residents, and the towering skyscrapers that caught the eye.
Taking in the sights of this foreign world, Tsunade was somewhat dazed. After a while, she stopped looking at the outside view and sighed, "Peace, it's truly great!"
Hearing Tsunade's sigh, Charles remarked, "This peace won't last long here either."
Furrowing her brows in confusion, Tsunade asked, "I haven't sensed any signs of war!"
"Moreover, from what I've observed, the people in this world are very weak."
"I even feel that the people here are weaker than the civilians in the Fire Nation."
While Charles was driving, he explained, "You're not wrong; the ordinary people here are relatively weak".
"But there are people here with powerful abilities, even stronger than you can imagine. Of course, there are also some who aren't that strong. Furthermore, our enemies haven't appeared yet, but you will encounter them in the future."
Muttering in response to Charles's words, Tsunade said, "Enemies in the future?"
Then Tsunade patted Charles's shoulder and declared, "Don't worry, I will protect you. I will use my fists to crush all enemies!"
Feeling the strong youthful aura emanating from Tsunade, Charles's mouth twitched slightly. That pat just now had quite some force behind it. If it weren't for his decent physical condition, he might have been knocked away by that.
"Don't underestimate the enemies here; they will only grow stronger in the future, and you'll see for yourself very soon," Charles warned.
Feeling Tsunade's immense strength, Charles thought of someone - the Hulk. Perhaps it would be good for Tsunade and the others to experience this behemoth when the time comes.
Otherwise, they might all think that the enemies in this world were just small fry, and that wouldn't be good if they let their guard down.
Thinking of the time of the Hulk's emergence, Charles understood that it was not far off.
The car soon arrived at the entrance of the New York Continental Hotel. After parking the car, Charles tossed the keys to the parking attendant and led Tsunade inside.
Walking through the hotel's executive corridor, Tsunade looked at the decorations and remarked, "This place looks much more impressive than your agency."
Charles didn't mind Tsunade's teasing and quickly led her to the hotel's front desk.
"Eddie, is Winston here?" Charles inquired.
Eddie replied respectfully, "Elder Charles, the manager is here. I will inform him to meet you immediately."
"I'll wait for him in the lounge area," Charles instructed.
After that, Charles took Tsunade to the hotel's lounge. Along the way, all the assassins or staff in the hotel saluted or greeted Charles by tipping their hats.
Curious about everything, Tsunade asked, "Is this your business too? It feels somewhat like a black-market bounty hunter den, although the people here seem a bit weak."
Tsunade's voice wasn't quiet, and the nearby assassins heard it all. However, none of them dared to show any hostility or question him.
Charles was a legendary figure in the assassin world, surpassing all those who had previously earned the title of legendary assassin.
He was the object of admiration for all assassins, the only one who eventually became an elder at the High Table in the guise of an assassin, and every one of Charles's Adjudicators was exceptionally powerful.
Each one of them was a legendary assassin. Even the retired John Wick had become one of Charles's Adjudicators.
After sitting down in the lounge area, Charles explained to Tsunade, "This place is also my business! And you're not wrong; most people here are assassins, like bounty hunters in general."
Charles went on to explain what the Continental Hotel was and the rules and situation here.
This gave Tsunade a better understanding of Charles's power. However, Tsunade still couldn't understand and asked, "So why come here to handle my identification? Are you registering me as an assassin?"
Charles smiled and before answering, they saw Winston approaching.
"The person who will handle your identification is here; you'll understand soon enough," Charles said.
Winston approached Charles's table and respectfully greeted, "Elder Charles, welcome."
