Hikaru Hokage

"Tsunade? As for Tsunade..."

He also glanced at the roof slightly, but in the end Sarutobi Hiruzen's eyes were still fixed on Shizune.

As for the fact that Tsunade would appear at Hino Hikari's house, he only thought it was a pure coincidence.

"Shizune, please send a message to Tsunade for me. Konoha needs her very much now. As long as she agrees to appear in the village, she can ignore medical ninja matters, battlefield matters, and mission matters."

Of course Sarutobi Hiruzen also knew about Tsunade's anemia.

"She just needs to sit in the village and let others know that she is in the village. That's all."

"I, I understand, I will tell you to Tsunade-sama!"

Shizune nodded respectfully.

It would be nice for Tsunade-sama to stay in the village, but it's too chaotic outside, and because Tsunade likes to gamble, their lives have always been precarious.

Might as well go back to the village and stay there.

As long as Lord Hokage keeps his word, don't let Lord Tsunade go to the battlefield or treat the sick.

"What a special treatment. Sarutobi-sensei still loves our Konoha princess so much."

Shadow Snake Hand!

While yawning, Orochimaru stretched out his hand towards the ceiling.

With the surge of chakra, a bunch of long snakes like sharp arrows quickly rushed towards the roof.

"But that's the sideshow I'm talking about."

boom!

But before Orochimaru's Hidden Shadow Snake Hand reached the ceiling, there were already cracks on the ceiling.

Then a big hole was pierced by a fist amidst the explosion.

The little snakes summoned by Orochimaru were all turned into smoke by this punch.

"Orochimaru, the way you greet me is not as polite as before."

The dust cleared, and a woman wearing a tea-green gown fell from the sky.

Hino Hikaru and Shizune, who were in the center of the room, also quickly stepped aside.

The latter showed admiration for Tsunade's strange power punch.

The former is——

Can you please stop fighting in other people's homes?

Now that there is such a big hole in the roof, how can I sleep at night? ?

Looking at the ceiling that was cracked into countless pieces, Hino Hikaru had a headache.

"Long time no see, Tsunade."

After seeing Tsunade finally appear, Orochimaru calmed down his aura and his voice became slightly softer.

"Long time no see, old man."

But Tsunade simply ignored Orochimaru and looked at Sarutobi Hiruzen standing at the door.

"Is war... coming again?"

"Ah."

Sarutobi Hiruzen straightened the Hokage hat on his head.

"The village needs you, Tsunade."

"What happens to the village has nothing to do with me. I won't stay in the village for long, and I won't help you. You know I can't help you in my current state."

Tsunade refused without thinking.

Konoha was her sad place, and she didn't want to stay here for a long time.

"You don't need to take action, I just need people to know that you are still in Konoha. You should think about it more, Tsunade."

Even though Tsunade refused so bluntly, Sarutobi Hiruzen was not angry at all.

He knew his disciple very well.

Although sometimes he speaks cruel words, his heart is always towards Konoha.

"Orochimaru, if the war starts, do you plan to go to the front?"

After Sarutobi Hiruzen left, Tsunade asked Orochimaru again without hesitation.

"of course."

Orochimaru imitated Sarutobi Hiruzen and showed a fake smile.

"I love this village very much."

"..."

Tsunade who heard this just stared at him silently.

"Sorry, sorry, I was just joking a little bit."

Orochimaru laughed for a while before finally becoming serious.

"I plan to be Hokage."

"You... seriously?"

Wanting to be Hokage, this sentence reminded Tsunade of many, many bad memories.

"Maybe, after all, the old man has been here for so many years, and it's time for him to step down."

Orochimaru returned to his indifferent attitude.

Then he looked at Hino Hikari who was standing aside watching their conversation.

"You seem to be less and less picky about finding men. If this continues, I probably won't be surprised if one day you suddenly end up with that idiot Jiraiya."

In addition to piglets, snakes are also very sensitive to smells.

"What does my private matter have to do with you?"

Although she refused to admit defeat, Tsunade's face turned completely red.

Her peers and classmates discovered that she was actually having an affair with a boy who was old enough to be her son...

Tsunade now wants to find a crack in the ground to crawl into, and then use Earth Release to bury herself.

It's so embarrassing, this is totally social death!

And this damn snake is still as annoyingly sharp as ever!

"No, I'm just worried that the name of Sannin will become a stain on my life in the future."

Orochimaru mocked mercilessly.

"Oh? As expected of a person who wants to be Hokage, he starts to worry about his reputation so soon?"

Tsunade returned the mocking look.

"..."

Only then did Orochimaru realize that without Jiraiya joining in, he seemed unable to take advantage of Tsunade verbally.

"Wait, Orochimaru."

However, just when he was about to stop being acquainted with Tsunade and prepare to leave here and go back to his laboratory, he was suddenly stopped by the other party.

"What's the matter with you?"

Orochimaru turned his head curiously.

They haven't seen each other for many years. Could it be that Tsunade wanted to catch up with him?

"Lend me some money."

"..."

When Orochimaru heard the words of borrowing money, he quickly turned his head back.

Then he rejected Tsunade succinctly.

"No, no, farewell."

Even Orochimaru knew that money could not be lent to gamblers.

Besides, the research funds Danzo approved for him were not much, so how could he get money for this gambler who was bound to lose every bet.

"It's stingy."

Faced with Orochimaru's expert refusal three times, Tsunade could only curse secretly for being stingy.

"Well, dear Miss Tsunade..."

After Sarutobi Hiruzen and Orochimaru left one after another, Hino Hikaru relaxed his tense spirit a little.

"what's up?"

Because she had just been rejected for borrowing money, Tsunade looked a little unhappy.

"You destroyed the house, where will we stay tonight?"

Hino Hikaru pointed at the big hole in the roof angrily.

Now this house no longer needs to be guarded against burglars.

Because it can no longer be inhabited.

"..."

Looking at the ceiling shattered by her punch, Tsunade immediately extinguished the anger in her heart.

I forgot that this is not my home...

Chapter 14 The fickle woman

Tsunade's family is pretty big...

In front of you is a large house with seven entrances and seven exits. Although it looks a little deserted, the overall look is quite pleasant.

"You can sleep here tonight."

After walking through the pavilions, Tsunade led Hino Hikaru to a room in the courtyard.

"This is my...brother's room. Try not to touch the things on the table. The mattresses and clothes are up to you."

Anyway, this room, including this entire mansion, has been vacant for a long time.

As the talent of the Senju clan dwindles, there won't be many people coming to clean and organize this house anymore.

I won't stay in Konoha for long. It would be a waste to leave this place empty. Let's just think of it as compensation for the fact that this guy's house was destroyed by his punch.

"Thank you."

Compared to other rooms, this room has the least dust.

Hino Hikaru originally planned to tease me again, "Place me in your brother's room. You don't really have strange thoughts about your brother, do you?"

But seeing the nostalgia and sadness deep in Tsunade's eyes, Hino Hikaru finally nodded honestly, and then quietly made the bed with Shizune's help.

Although several times, Shizune was a little dissatisfied with Hino Hikaru moving in, but under Tsunade's majesty, she could only keep this dissatisfaction in her stomach.

"Also, just pretend what happened last night never happened, you know."

Not an interrogative sentence, but an affirmative sentence.

And before Hikaru Hino could reply, Tsunade turned and walked out of the room.

"..."

Seeing Tsunade leave, Shizune didn't dare to stay with Hino Hikaru any longer.

But before leaving in a hurry, she gave Hino Hikaru a brief glare to warn him not to touch anything in the room.

But for some unknown reason, she stared weakly, and her cheeks were still a little red when she turned around.

He probably thought of the relationship this guy had with Tsunade-sama whom he served.
