"How could that be? Didn't we already agree that the winner of this year's competition would receive that right?"

Despite what the alter ego of the ruler said, Tsunade remained skeptical.

For some time now, they have been discussing who will get the first Starflow award, and have finally decided that it will be awarded to the winner of this year's competition.

However, the recent performance of the administration has struck them as somewhat unusual.

She often blushes or stares blankly for no apparent reason, a stark contrast to her usual calm and composure.

But today, she was unusually calm and composed, which made Tsunade suspicious.

Tsunade stared intently at the clone of the ruler, trying to find clues from her expression and demeanor.

"So, are you really ready?" Tsunade decided to test the waters further.

The avatar of governance smiled slightly and nodded: "Of course, I am ready. I will go all out in this year's competition."

"hope so."

Tsunade responded, but a lingering doubt remained in her eyes.

In the time that followed, Tsunade and the others observed Governance's every move more closely.

They discovered that although Zhili appeared normal, there seemed to be some unspeakable secret hidden in her eyes.

Looking at this governance, Nonoyu had a sudden realization; she seemed to understand something.

She suddenly picked up the kunai in her hand and stabbed at Zhili.

To the astonishment of the administrator, the shadow clone vanished without a trace.

The group stared silently at the spot where the shadow clone had disappeared, lost in thought.

"You promised to run away first!" Tsunade finally broke the silence, her tone revealing a hint of dissatisfaction. "How dare you break your promise and sneak away!"

Nono appeared more calm, and she analyzed:

"It may be too late now. What we need to consider is what to do next."

For some unknown reason, Hinata suddenly blushed and stammered out a suggestion:

"How about...we go back...and...go together..."

Before she could finish speaking, Tsunade and Nono covered her mouth, preventing her from saying anything more.

A shy blush spread across their faces.

After all, although Hinata didn't say much, they already understood what she meant.

This was still too shocking for them.

However, Tsunade then considered for a moment and said, "Since things have come to this point, I think they need a medical master, otherwise how can they remove the poison?"

With that, Tsunade ran off without looking back.

Nonou pushed up her glasses: "That's right, my medical ninjutsu is pretty good too, shall I go help?"

With that, she turned and left, leaving Hinata standing there somewhat at a loss.

But if she's the only one who didn't go, it would seem like she's not fitting in.

So she mustered her courage and murmured, "As a member of the Hyuga clan, I have unique skills in medicine, so why don't I go and help out?"

As she spoke, her face flushed and steam rising from her head, she returned to the hotel.

Chapter 157 Changes in Konoha

After a night of absurdity, Xingliu still felt incredulous when he opened his eyes in the morning sunlight.

Last night, first it was Governance who came to see him, then it was Tsunade and the others. What happened last night was beyond his imagination.

Xingliu internally criticized this behavior: the more the better!

As he was thinking this, Tsunade had already woken up.

However, last night's experience made her close her eyes tightly and pretend she was still asleep.

But suddenly, a strange touch made her gasp in surprise. Then her face turned bright red, and she was too embarrassed to lift her head.

It turns out that stellar flow is a healthy phenomenon, with a natural physiological occurrence in the morning.

The exclamation also woke up the other women.

They opened their eyes and saw Tsunade's flushed face, immediately realizing what had happened.

Although I've been through it before, seeing it again now still makes me incredibly embarrassed.

But Xingliu wouldn't give them that chance, and the entire room was enveloped by a barrier again.

... (omitting 10,000 words)

After that day of madness, the group who had tasted the forbidden fruit naturally lingered in the Land of Hot Springs for a while longer.

The hot springs, delicious food, and tranquil environment there provided them with an unforgettable honeymoon.

However, the good times did not last long.

On a bright and sunny morning, Xingliu received a letter delivered by an ANBU member.

He opened the envelope, and a beautifully designed invitation was revealed.

His expression instantly turned strange when his gaze fell on the contents of the invitation.

The invitation had several large characters written in gold ink: "Uchiha Seiryu will officially succeed as Hokage in three days."

This news was like a bolt from the blue for Xingliu.

This means that his planned leisurely days have come to an end.

Looking at the invitation, Xingliu was speechless.

He sighed helplessly and handed the invitation to Tsunade, who was standing next to him.

Tsunade took the invitation, looked at the contents, and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "It seems that our Lord Xingliu's leisurely days are coming to an end."

Her words were so obviously sarcastic that the other girls laughed as well.

Upon hearing this, Xingliu threw down the invitation in his hand, pounced on Tsunade, and said fiercely, "I don't know who told me to hit harder, who was it? I can't remember."

Although his expression was unfriendly, his eyes revealed a hint of mockery and provocation.

Tsunade blushed upon hearing this, but she still stubbornly replied, "That was in the past, what does it have to do with the present?"

She said this, trying to hide her embarrassment and shyness.

But Xingliu raised an eyebrow upon hearing this and said, "Since you don't want to, how about I don't take you with me?"

Upon hearing this, Tsunade immediately became anxious.

Although she knew Xingliu was joking, she wasn't willing to lose to the other women when it came to him.

So she immediately admitted defeat, saying, "Okay, okay, I know I was wrong."

Seeing that she gave in so quickly, everyone present laughed even louder.

After Tsunade's outburst, Seiryu's initial frustration about his vacation being interrupted vanished without a trace.

They then packed their things and prepared to return to Konoha.

Once everything was ready, Xingliu teleported them back to Konoha.

Instead of teleporting directly back to the Hokage Building, he chose to appear at the gate of Konoha.

He wanted to personally experience this place he had been away from for several years and see what changes had taken place in Konoha.

They appeared at the gate of Konoha. Xingliu looked at the identical gate in front of him with a puzzled expression.

The gate seemed unchanged, still standing tall and imposing, exuding solemnity and reverence.

He stepped forward and gently touched the patterns on the door, as if searching for memories of the past.

"It seems like nothing has changed." Tsunade stepped forward, looked around, and sighed.

“Perhaps there’s something different going on?” Nono suggested.

So, they entered Konoha Village.

Upon entering Konoha, they were speechless with astonishment at the scene before them.

Konoha has undergone earth-shattering changes.

They seemed to have stepped into a completely new world.

The village of Konoha is now filled with skyscrapers, each seemingly vying to outdo the others in height.

These modern buildings stand in stark contrast to the traditional low-rise houses of Konoha, creating a sense of temporal displacement.

Pedestrians lined both sides of the street in a continuous stream.

People dressed in various fashionable outfits moved among the crowds, their diverse styles showcasing the village's diversity and boundless vitality.

The once narrow road has now become wide and flat, as if to welcome the arrival of this new era.

Various high-tech vehicles travel on the roads, some resembling hoverboards, flying freely in the air.

Some are small cars that are no longer bound to the ground but travel freely in the sky.

These vehicles are all powered by chakra, making them not only highly efficient and environmentally friendly, but also showcasing a perfect combination of technology and ninjutsu.

"Is...is this really Konoha?"

Tsunade stared wide-eyed at what she was seeing in disbelief.

The Hidden Leaf Village she once knew had undergone earth-shattering changes, changes far exceeding her imagination.

"It seems we've really been away for far too long," Xingliu sighed.

Looking at the futuristic village before him, a strange emotion welled up within him.

This change felt somewhat unfamiliar to him, but overall he was still mostly looking forward to it.

They walked along the street, discovering new changes with every step.

The shops on the street corner not only sell traditional ninja supplies, but also a variety of high-tech products.

An item resembling a mobile phone caught Xingliu's attention, and he curiously picked it up and asked the shop owner about it.

Listening to the boss's explanation, he realized that this thing was a mobile phone, but its functions were relatively simple, only able to make calls and send text messages.
