Naruto: Naruto started the Fourth Shinobi World War for me

The next day, Hashirama snuggled up to Ningxia, who was warm and comforting beside him. With the blessing of the Sage Body, she was completely unaffected and slept whenever she was tired, without a care in the world.

"Sigh... it always turns out like this..."

Ningxia looked at Hashirama beside her. In the past, people had said that even if the God of Shinobi were resurrected, he would still have to give way to him out of respect.

But now things are different; there's no way we can back down.

Seeing that Hashirama was sleeping soundly, Ningxia did not disturb him. She got up to wash up and then continued working on Konoha's development plan.

"The dates are still being consumed..."

Guang rubbed his eyes as he woke up and greeted Ningxia, but his little nose twitched and he immediately smelled something was wrong.

"Hmm... Ningxia, you smell really strange."

Her messy hair sticks up on both sides, making her look like a kitten.

"Really? It was probably left over from yesterday's discussion with Hashirama and the others about Konoha's development."

"Is that so?"

Hikaru sniffed it suspiciously; it did smell like Hashirama's scent, but not quite.

"Okay, what do you want to eat today?"

"Hmm... congee with preserved egg and lean pork, and steamed buns with pork and scallion filling, I'll help make the filling!"

Guang was quickly drawn to the delicious food and stopped hesitating, joining Ningxia in cooking in the kitchen.

During the time he spent with Ningxia, his Ninja Body Illusion didn't improve much, but he did inherit her cooking skills, making him more than capable of helping Ningxia.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Ningxia left a note for the still-sleepy Hashirama, then led Hikaru to the Hokage Building, pondering how to tell Madara about it.

after all……

Sitting in the Hokage's seat, Ningxia began to bury herself in her work, while Guang sat obediently beside her, sometimes playing with his fingers, sometimes staring at Ningxia, seemingly lost in thought.

Tobirama, who usually clocks in every day, was late today. By the time she arrived at the Hokage's office, it was already noon, and she happened to miss Ningxia and Guang, who were out looking for food.

With dark circles under his eyes, Tobirama squatted in the spot where Ningxia had sat, as if trying to feel the traces left by Ningxia.

She thought about it all night, not wanting to talk or do anything, just staring at the fluorescent light as if she were possessed.

For a fleeting moment, Tobirama, like Hashirama, considered simply confessing his feelings and forcing himself on her, so that even if they were destined to part ways, they could still experience happiness.

But her reason wouldn't allow her to do such a thing; at this point, her intelligence became her hindrance.

"I'm sorry... Ningxia."

Tobirama was in agony. She didn't want to be in this kind of love, but she couldn't cut her losses and sever the relationship in time.

She...can't do anything.

Around noon, Hashirama, who had been sleeping soundly all night, finally woke up. Apart from a slight backache and numbness in his legs, he felt perfectly fine and even surprisingly refreshed.

Upon seeing the note left by Ningxia, she immediately went to the kitchen, heated up the porridge and steamed buns, and devoured the entire breakfast for five people.

After eating and drinking his fill, Hashirama happily returned to the Hokage Building, thinking that he should work harder while Ningxia was away.

But when they opened the door, they saw the chair where Tobirama had been sitting, holding Ningxia...

"Big...Big Sister?"

Tobirama froze instantly, feeling his image about to completely collapse, and quickly stood up.

But out of shame, he lost his composure and slammed his head against the table, causing documents to fly everywhere.

"It's over..."

Hashirama swallowed hard, covering his face with an expression that screamed like someone from a world-famous painting. This was the result of Ningxia's hard work; if he came back and saw this...

With a practiced clap of his hands, Hashirama produced two freshly made washboards and handed them to Tobirama.

"Don't worry, Tobirama, I'll apologize with you then. Ningxia should forgive us because we both looked so pathetic, right?"

"Big sister..."

Although Hashirama's suggestion was outrageous, Tobirama was still somewhat moved, at least his sister was willing to share his hardships.

"Speaking of which, Tobirama, your expression just now... was so slutty~ I won't tell Ningxia, but... Tobirama, could you do it again?"

The next second, Hashirama switched to taunt mode, instantly turning Tobirama into a laughingstock. He was utterly disrespectful to his older sister!

Fearing being reprimanded by Ningxia, Tobirama squeezed out his potential and perfected the Shadow Clone Technique on the spot, finally managing to clean up the documents.

Seeing his sister's burnt-out state, Hashirama's initial thought of showing off his success vanished immediately. How could she not know what Tobirama was thinking?

Before this, everyone competed fairly, and there was no sisterly affection between them.

But now that we've succeeded, wouldn't it be too hurtful for Tobirama to say that now?

After much deliberation, Hashirama told Tobirama to go home and catch up on his sleep. Those dark circles under his eyes were just too ridiculous!

After Tobirama left, Hashirama sat back in her seat and fell into deep thought. She felt restless and uncomfortable if she couldn't share such a good thing.

After much deliberation, Hashirama remembered the sheep charm mark Ningxia had given him and then contacted Madara.

【Ban? Are you there?】

【What is it?】

【Huh? How did you know I successfully confessed my feelings to Ningxia yesterday?】

【? ? ? 】
