Naruto: Starting with Tsunade

Chapter 312 Danzo, Acting Hokage

"Aster?"

The name was catchy and beautiful, and sounded more like a girl's name than Maitreya. Shui Lian put it in her mouth and chewed it a few times.

"Aster is the name of a flower, and its flower language is wit."

"Most of you shrine maidens are perceived as calm and quiet. It's not that that's bad, but I personally hope that girls can be a little more lively."

"After all, the mission of a shrine maiden is a heavy one."

"Is it Shion...?"

Shui Lian muttered something, seriously considering the matter: "It sounds like a good name."

Aokiji glanced sideways, secretly amused.

Shion is the name of Maitreya's daughter...

As soon as they left the shrine, Tsunade approached and asked about the sealing: "Is everything settled?"

Aokiji nodded, his gaze shifting to the effeminate-looking man beside her. Seeing that he was unharmed, he smiled happily and said, "Orochimaru, you're alright."

Orochimaru gave him a grateful look: "Thanks to your timely appearance this time..."

"Don't say that. If you hadn't indulged my whims, you wouldn't have ended up in danger."

Aokiji said with a hint of guilt.

Thinking back to the last time I acted recklessly, I almost put my companion in danger.

Three strikes and you're out. Aokiji decided he wouldn't do this kind of thing again.

…………

After resting for a day in the Land of Demons, Aokiji and the others bid farewell to the priestess Suiren and returned to Konoha.

"You're finally back."

Upon entering the village territory, Aokiji immediately thought of making a run for it: "Tsunade, I'll leave the reporting to you. I won't be going."

After Aokiji's Sharingan abilities were revealed, the relationship between him and Hiruzen Sarutobi underwent a subtle change.

Looking at Hiruzen Sarutobi makes me feel awkward and uneasy.

Unless there are special circumstances, Aokiji is now basically too lazy to meet with Hiruzen Sarutobi. For daily work reports, Orochimaru or Tsunade are enough.

So now he avoids seeing Hiruzen Sarutobi to avoid embarrassment.

Anyway, his lax attitude in the village was "well-known", and no one said anything to him for being too lazy to report his work. In fact, they were used to it.

"You've been slacking off again."

Tsunade stood with her hands on her hips, speaking in a stern tone.

"What does it matter? I've completed the mission perfectly anyway."

Relying on his outstanding military achievements, Aokiji waved his hand, looking completely fearless: "Besides, aren't you guys the ones who handle reporting work?"

"I'm just standing there, nothing will change. Rather than wasting time like this, I'd rather take a nap and recharge."

Aokiji always finds excuses to be lazy. Tsunade shakes her head and sighs, feeling quite helpless about having such a boyfriend.

Normally, Aokiji, as the main force, should be present, even if he doesn't report on his work.

Just as she was about to say something, a scream came from nearby: "Aokiji-senpai..."

Looking in that direction, there were several attractive girls, about the same age as Tsunade herself.

They called out "Aokiji" to her senior and then came over, taking her boyfriend's arm in front of her as if they were old friends and squeezing him against their chests.

Because of his outstanding performance on the battlefield and his numerous feats, Aokiji was quickly accepted and recognized by the villagers. Among them, the girls were particularly fond of him because of his handsome appearance.

Seeing her boyfriend finally accepted by the village and the barriers removed should be a good thing, but the problem is that you women have gone too far in accepting him.

Look at these women, they're all infatuated, no, they're acting like vixens, all alluring and seductive.

Tsunade frowned slightly, her expression displeased.

Good guy.

He seduced her man right in front of her.

She's like air.

Unable to contain herself any longer, Tsunade raised her voice, her expression fierce, "Hey, you lot!"

The woman holding Aokiji's left arm looked surprised: "Ah, it's Tsunade-senpai, what are you doing here?"

Tsunade's eyebrows furrowed in anger, and she grumbled, "I've been here the whole time, okay?"

"..."

Another woman, clinging to Aokiji's right arm, said in a coquettish tone, "Wow~ Your girlfriend is so fierce! She doesn't know how to care for her brother at all. Aokiji-nii, how about you consider getting a new girlfriend?"

The village girls were overly enthusiastic, and Aokiji couldn't refuse their advances: "This isn't appropriate, I'm not a fickle man."

Although Aokiji said that, his expression showed that he was quite enjoying being surrounded by women.

Tsunade retorted, "Since you know that, how long are you going to keep hanging out with these women?"

One of the women teased, "Tsunade, why are you so agitated? We're just looking for a chat with Aokiji, we're not going to kidnap him."

Another woman chimed in, "That's right, that's right."

Seeing Aokiji entangled with these women and unwilling to distance himself from them, Tsunade flew into a rage. She snorted coldly and gave him a disapproving look: "Orochimaru, Jiraiya, let's go."

After saying that, he left Aokiji with a beautiful view of the back of his head, letting him figure it out for himself.

If Aokiji continues to entangle with these sluts after she finishes her report, he'll be in for a world of hurt.

She took a few steps and realized someone was missing. She turned around and saw Jiraiya standing there, looking at Aokiji with an envious expression.

Tsunade scoffed, "Men..."

Then, he left with a hint of disdain.

Aokiji knew his place; he coughed twice, distancing himself from the girls.

The idea of ​​a harem is best left as a fantasy.

Tsunade would not allow him to have other women.

Besides, if she really wanted to build a harem, he could have Tsunade use Multiple Shadow Clone Techniques and wear different uniforms (parentheses).

This is what true harem arts are all about.

A girl pouted slightly: "Aokiji, you really are heartless."

Aokiji laughed and said, "Sorry, I'm already taken."

The girl he was talking to was Yamanaka Aika, with blonde hair and a beautiful face.

Judging from her name, she belongs to a mountain tribe.

There is a younger brother named Yamanaka Inoichi, which sounds unfamiliar, but you'll know him as Ino's future father.

Aika didn't just recently fall for Aokiji; she's been interested in him since her school days—in fact, they were classmates.

Aihua smiled and said with a smile, "Then I can use a substitution technique."

Aokiji: ...

Aokiji felt he saw a mirror image of himself in Aika.

At this moment, Jiraiya came over, cheekily offering his services: "Aokiji doesn't like you, you can consider someone else."

Aihua's lips twitched: "That person wouldn't happen to be you, would it?"

Jiraiya replied, "Yes."

Aika laughed: "If you were as handsome as Aokiji, I might consider you."

Jiraiya was displeased by these words.

Aokiji is handsome my foot...

Okay, he does look pretty good.

Although Jiraiya didn't want to admit it, he had often heard comments about Aokiji's good looks since he was a child.

Of course, he would never admit to such a thing.

"Hmph, Aokiji is handsome my ass."

Aika teased, "Don't you think Aokiji is handsome?"

No, I don't think so.

Jiraiya shook his head in denial, glancing sideways at Jiraiya: "If you possessed three bloodline limits, how could you not be cool?"

This was Jiraiya's last act of defiance.

Aokiji discovered that Jiraiya had a good sense of humor, so while Jiraiya and Aika were bickering, he disappeared on the spot and headed towards the Uchiha clan's territory.

Meanwhile, Tsunade and Orochimaru headed towards the Hokage's office building, preparing to report to Hiruzen Sarutobi on their work.

The door was closed, but out of politeness, Tsunade knocked twice.

A moment later, a deep voice came from inside the door.

Tsunade was taken aback, but the response she received was not from Hiruzen Sarutobi.

He glanced at Orochimaru.

Orochimaru shook his head, indicating that he didn't know.

With this question in mind, Tsunade turned the doorknob and entered the Hokage's office.

Inside the room, there was only one man, standing with his hands behind his back, facing away from the two people, looking out the window.

Just by looking at his back, Tsunade knew that the person in front of her was not Hiruzen Sarutobi.

At this moment, the man who noticed their arrival slowly turned around, revealing his face, which was wrapped in bandages, with a stern expression and only one eye showing.

His gaze was sharp, unlike Hiruzen Sarutobi's gentle gaze.

Tsunade recognized this person; he held a very high position in the village, second only to her mentor.

It was none other than Danzo, who rarely showed his face.

"How could it be you? Where is Sarutobi-sensei?"

Danzo smiled and said, "Hiruzen is injured. I will now take over the position of Hokage."

Tsunade: ? ? ?

Orochimaru: ?

Danzo added, "Acting Hokage."
