Konoha: The Gu Master Creates the Hokage

After Shizune left, Tsunade's expression became somewhat complicated.

"The slug told me."

Without hesitation, Zhihui, the oil-producing woman, shifted the blame to the slug.

Having heard so many of his stories, it's time for it to come in handy.

"That's exactly what it is."

Tsunade crossed her arms and lifted her chin.

She was not surprised.

Even if the slug doesn't tell Zhihui the oil lady, he'll find out sooner or later.

Just like being muted.

Because I've been by her side for too long.

"Don't tell a second person."

Tsunade said in a deep voice.

"I see."

Oil Girl Zhihui nodded.

Hemophobia is definitely Tsunade's fatal weakness.

If it becomes known to outsiders, it will cause enormous trouble.

"teacher."

After thinking for a moment, You Nuzhihui asked, "Can it be cured?"

He certainly wouldn't miss such a golden opportunity.

"do not know."

Tsunade was silent for a few seconds before speaking.

She is a medical ninja, and the best medical ninja in the ninja world.

She was quite aware of hemophobia.

This is a psychological problem.

Mental illness is incurable.

Unless she can get out of the shadows.

But she couldn't get over it.

"old……"

As soon as Shiki Aburame opened his mouth, Tsunade's fingers pressed against it, silencing him.

He looked into her bright brown eyes, and whether he was seeing things or not, he vaguely saw a hint of pleading in them.

The usually strong Tsunade suddenly seemed pitiful.

Oil Girl Zhihui remained silent.

She clearly didn't want to talk about hemophobia.

"Thanks for today, kid."

Tsunade raised her hand, stopped in front of his forehead, and flicked it.

"You are my teacher."

Yu Nu Zhihui shook his head and said, "It's what I should do."

"So... how much money are you planning to give your teacher?"

Tsunade's eyes darted around, and she asked.

The worry on her face completely disappeared, as if she had regained her vitality.

"..."

Oil Girl Zhihui was speechless.

"At worst, I'll borrow money from you."

Tsunade, settling for second best, said, "I'll definitely pay you back when I have the money."

After thinking about it for a moment, You Nuzhihui realized that lending money was indeed more cost-effective than giving money directly.

He doesn't have the power to ask for the money now, but Tsunade won't be able to refuse to pay it back later.

"can."

Oil Girl Zhihui nodded.

"He truly is my good student."

Tsunade patted his head, then changed the subject, saying, "Your million doesn't count; that was tuition."

You're really obsessed with money.

Aburame Shiki suddenly thought of Kakuzu.

While both men love money, he diligently takes on tasks from all over the place to earn it.

Jingyin pushed open the door and said, "The food will be here soon."

"Drink water."

Oil Girl Zhihui poured her a glass of water.

"Thank you."

Jingyin immediately beamed with joy.

Compared to Tsunade, Shiki Aburame is pleasing to the eye no matter how you look at him.

"..."

Tsunade now understands why Shiki Aburame is so popular at school.

It's not just because they're good-looking.

"For the next period of time, we will continue to head north."

After a moment's thought, Tsunade said, "It will take about a month before we return to Konoha."

"Ok."

Oil Girl Zhihui nodded.

"Shizune."

Tsunade then instructed, "Take some time to teach Shiki some ninja wilderness skills."

"Tsunade-sama."

"Then what are you doing?" Shizune asked irritably.

"I have my own arrangements."

Tsunade coughed lightly and said somewhat awkwardly, "You don't need to worry about me."

There was a knock on the door.

The words that were about to be uttered were swallowed back down.

She sighed.

It's all useless anyway.

The door opened, and it was the hotel's food delivery service.

"Guest, your dishes have all been served. Please enjoy your meal."

The young woman put down her chopsticks and turned to leave.

“It tastes okay.”

Tsunade took a bite and said, "But it doesn't taste as good as what you two made."

"Of course."

Mute revealed a smug smile.

The anger from before seemed to have vanished.

Yu Nu Zhihui smiled slightly.

It feels like home.

He raised his glass and said, "Cheers!"

Of course, he wasn't drinking alcohol, but fruit juice.

"cheers!"

Tsunade and Shizune raised their glasses at the same time.

The three of them clinked their glasses and then drank together.

"what!"

Tsunade sighed deeply and said somewhat absentmindedly, "That's really good."

She hadn't been this happy in a long time.

time flies.

The month-long holiday has come to an end in the blink of an eye.

Training Ground No. 1 in Konoha Village.

"Sasuke, take a rest."

Kakashi Hatake, who was sitting under the tree, looked up and said.

Upon hearing this, Uchiha Sasuke immediately sat down on the ground.
