As the atmosphere gradually eased, the girls temporarily left Xingliu aside and went to the side to share their secrets while chatting and laughing.

In the end, Tsunade and the others warmly invited Xia He, Chen Duo, and Feng Baobao to visit Konoha Village and experience its unique charm.

And so, the girls left with great enthusiasm, leaving Hinata behind to look back at Seiryu with lingering reluctance as she departed.

However, in the end, she followed in the footsteps of Tsunade and the others and left.

Xingliu smiled helplessly, understanding that Tsunade and the others were expressing their dissatisfaction to him in their own way.

However, he didn't mind; on the contrary, he thought that this way of expressing himself was much better than keeping it bottled up inside.

At least this way, things won't erupt all at once and become uncontrollable.

At this moment, Xingliu, who had nothing to do, suddenly realized that he, as the Hokage, seemed to have not fulfilled his duties for a long time.

So he decided to go to the Hokage Building to handle some official business.

Everyone he met along the way held him in high esteem.

This is not only because of his great strength, but also because he brought peace and prosperity to the villagers as the one who ended the chaos.

Therefore, people's gratitude towards him was overflowing.

This gratitude brought Xingliu immense satisfaction.

However, when he entered the Hokage's office, that sense of satisfaction almost turned into guilt.

The office was filled with Izuna's shadow clones busily processing various documents.

Izuna himself stared at the documents in his hands with bloodshot eyes, and didn't even notice Seiryu's arrival.

Xingliu sensed Izuna's condition and was surprised to find that his soul was filled with exhaustion.

This deep-seated fatigue almost damaged his soul.

Come to think of it, since Chika confessed her feelings to Seiryu, she has stopped working as a secretary.

Then the entire burden falls on Izuna's shoulders.

Seeing how hard Izuna was working, Seiryu decided to reward him.

So he activated the laws he had comprehended, healing Izuna's fatigue and allowing him to work better.

Chapter 248 Two People Who Fell in Love with Dance Battles

Just as Izuna was fully immersed in his work, a sudden warm feeling, like a spring breeze, made him involuntarily squint his eyes and enjoy this rare moment of tranquility.

However, this tranquility did not last long.

He quickly broke free from this state.

Seeing Xingliu walk into the office, he rolled his eyes helplessly, as if blaming the other person for disturbing his work.

Xingliu observed Izuna's reaction but did not become angry.

He knew all too well how rare it was to have such a dedicated subordinate who handled all his affairs.

However, a hint of curiosity also arose in his heart.

It's worth noting that the Uchiha clan is known for its brother-complex and sister-complex, and Madara was no exception.

But now it seems that he has paid less attention to Izuna.

Otherwise, since Izuna is so tired, he should have been persuaded by physics to rest.

Faced with Xingliu's doubts, Izuna could only sigh helplessly, and then said quietly, "Do you think only Mito thinks Madara stole Hashirama?"

His words revealed a hint of helplessness and resentment, and also answered Xingliu's question.

Madara's constant visits to Hashirama made not only Mito uncomfortable, but Izuna felt the same way.

Then, he pulled out a file and handed it to Xingliu, continuing:

“They go out for dance battles whenever they have free time, and I don’t know who always organizes these competitions.”

Xingliu took the document and saw that the title read "The Fifth Konoha Dance Battle".

This made his expression somewhat strange.

Even as the acting Hokage, Izuna couldn't figure out who organized the competition because it was originally a business he secretly funded.

It was just a casual move at the time, but unexpectedly it has turned out to be a lucky one?

Just then, a commotion arose outside.

Hashirama's pleas for mercy and cries of pain reached Seiryu's ears: "My good Mito, let go, your ear is about to fall off."

Then, to Xingliu's surprise, came Uchiha Madara's voice:

"Hmph! Women only hinder my dance moves, Hashirama, you've fallen!"

Upon hearing this, Xingliu thought to himself: "As expected of Uchiha Madara, the only one he ever loved in his life was Hashirama."

At the same time, he silently lit an incense stick for the first generation.

Because he knew that once he said those words, Hashirama would definitely be in trouble.

As expected, after Madara Uchiha finished speaking, Hashirama's cries of pain grew even louder.

Immediately afterwards, the office door was kicked open.

Mito was initially grabbing Hashirama's ear aggressively, but the moment she saw Seiryu, she froze completely.

The anger on his face vanished without a trace, replaced by a warm and friendly smile.

She released his grip, freeing Hashirama, who touched his tormented ear.

"Little Starflow, you're back!" Mito greeted him warmly, her voice filled with joy.

Seiryu smiled and replied, "Grandma Mito, I'm back."

A simple sentence, yet it seemed to possess magic, instantly dispelling all the gloom in the office and making the atmosphere relaxed and pleasant.

However, this relief did not last long.

Hashirama, who had just escaped the clutches of the devil, suddenly approached Seiryu and began to complain with a wronged expression:

"Seiryu, you have to be fair to me! I just went to a dance battle with Madara, and Mito got angry and told me not to come home tonight. Tell me, how am I supposed to live like this?"

As he spoke, he pretended to wipe away non-existent tears, attempting to elicit sympathy.

Xingliu looked at Hashirama's appearance and couldn't help but laugh and cry.

He maintained an awkward yet polite smile, but inwardly he thought to himself: He didn't want to get involved in this kind of trouble.

Once Mito gets angry, even he can't handle it.

As he expected, as soon as Hashirama finished speaking, Mito seemed to suddenly remember something important.

She raised her eyebrows, strode over to Hashirama, and grabbed his ear again.

This time, however, she didn't twist it hard, but maintained a threatening posture.

Before Hashirama could cry out in pain, she turned to Izuna and asked in a serious tone:

"Have the sponsors of the competition been found out? Who is behind this?"

Madara, watching Mito's appearance, couldn't help but twitch his eyelids.

He secretly rejoiced: Luckily, he didn't have a wife, otherwise wouldn't he have suffered the same "treatment" as Hashirama?

Faced with Mito's questioning, Izuna could only give a helpless bitter smile: "It's still the same as before, I have no clue whatsoever."

He paused and changed the subject:

"However, it seems that this incident did not have any negative impact. On the contrary, it gave those energetic ninjas a new form of entertainment. In some ways, this may be a good thing."

After hearing this, Mito nodded subconsciously, seemingly convinced by Izuna's words.

But when she saw Hashirama agreeing with her, she immediately felt a surge of anger.

Fortunately, she snorted and decided not to pursue the matter any further.

Xingliu watched this scene from the side and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, he was involved in this matter, but fortunately, Grandma Mito didn't investigate it too deeply.

Mito clearly had more important things to discuss.

After the dance-off incident was over, she spoke up, "Have this year's ninja academy graduates already come out?"

Izuna nodded firmly, confirming the information.

Mito then looked sharply at Hashirama and said decisively, "In that case, let Hashirama lead a new squad."

Mito was thinking that having Hashirama lead the squad might reduce the amount of time he and Madara spent together all day.

This way, Hashirama could focus more on training the next generation of ninjas.

The words had barely left her mouth when Mito seemed to suddenly remember something important, and her gaze instantly turned to Hoshiryu:

"Oh dear, I almost forgot, you're the Hokage, Seiryu. It's settled then, I'll have to trouble you to take care of it."

Xingliu was suddenly called out and scratched his head helplessly.

Although he is nominally the Hokage, he is essentially a figurehead.

He had only just learned of his graduation from the Ninja Academy from Mito.

Moreover, is it really reliable to have Hashirama as a mentor?

Xingliu can even foresee future scenarios:

The team members looked at Hashirama with confusion and asked him to explain ninjutsu. Hashirama, however, looked bewildered and said, "Isn't ninjutsu just about releasing it at will? Why do you need to form hand seals?"

Thinking of this, Xingliu felt a headache coming on, and he scratched his head even faster.

At the same time, Izuna was clearly aware of this problem.

He and Xingliu exchanged a glance, and both saw deep helplessness in each other's eyes.

Perhaps their worries were too obvious, because even the usually carefree Hashirama noticed them.

He frowned and said with some dissatisfaction:

"Hey, hey, hey, what's with those expressions you two make? I'm supposed to be the God of Ninjas, do you think I'm some kind of monster?"
