After a long while, the two separated again, a glistening thread lingering between their lips. Wuyue then said, "We're the same. We fell in love with our teachers. And then, we did some really bad things to them. But I won't change that title, okay? A teacher is a teacher, one of a kind."

These words, though cheesy and sweet, were brimming with deep affection, and Tsunade instantly felt herself fall for them. She abruptly embraced them, pulling them close. Thus began a new and decisive battle.

……

……

The entrance to Konoha village.

Kurenai and Shizune, each carrying a small bag, stood outside the village, their eyes constantly peering into it. "So slow, why aren't they here yet?" "It's almost time for our appointment, I hope something's wrong."

“Nothing should happen.” Shaking her head, Shizune asked with a puzzled look, “I’m just curious why Mugetsu-kun and Tsunade-sensei haven’t arrived yet.”

"That bastard Mugetsu didn't come home last night." Kurenai Yuhi was clearly quite resentful about it.

She was about to tell him her final decision to go out and train with Tsunade, but he didn't come back even after she fell asleep.

"Huh? Muzuki-kun didn't go home last night?" Shizune exclaimed in surprise. "Could he... have stayed overnight at some girl's place?"

"Probably not..." Kurenai Yuhi replied uncertainly. "Besides, given his age, even if he stayed overnight, he wouldn't do anything."

"No, just the fact that they're staying overnight is enough to cause concern."

Shizune disagreed, anxiously saying, "Think about it, what if he loses control while we're not around, and another girl takes advantage of him? That would be the end of him! Don't forget, he's a hero of Konoha now, and countless girls want to throw themselves at him!"

"Is that so? Then what do you plan to do?" another voice suddenly interrupted.

But Shizune was lost in her own fantasy and didn't react immediately. "Let either Red or me stay behind and keep a close eye on him!"

"Oh? Are you sure you're not planning to embezzle from your own position?"

"Imprisonment, embezzlement, how could that be..." Shizune blushed, but then suddenly realized something. "Tsunade-sensei? Mu, Muzuki-kun?" She froze, her body stiffening.

"Good afternoon." Wuyue smiled awkwardly. Actually, he was quite pleased to hear that these two little girls cared about him so much.

"Alright, enough with the unnecessary chatter." Tsunade waved her hand decisively and said, "I believe that as the only boy in our team, he wouldn't be kidnapped by a girl he doesn't know. Right?"

Faced with that oppressive gaze, Wuyue felt immense pressure and quickly nodded. "Yes, yes."

"That's good, let's go." Tsunade turned around without any hesitation.

"Wuyue! You're not allowed to do anything reckless while I'm gone!"

"Wuyue-kun... please, please take good care of yourself!"

The two women's eyes were slightly red, and they looked back every step of the way. Wu Yue's heart was also filled with sighs and reluctance. The bitterness of parting permeated the atmosphere.

But the next second, Tsunade suddenly turned around and ran over, kissing him on the cheek, and whispered in his ear, "Think it over carefully... you little rascal. Tell me next time we meet why your movements are so practiced."

093 Oh my god! The black man's affair has been exposed!

Two months later, at noon.

Wuyue, who had woken up naturally, lazily walked out of her house, faced the slightly dazzling sunlight, stretched her body a little, and headed towards the training ground.

He had already changed out of his white, tight-fitting combat suit and into his old civilian clothes. His eyes were half-open and half-closed beneath his wispy bangs, and one arm was still tucked into his sleeve, giving him the air of a颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a sense of decadence, listlessness, or apathy) middle-aged man.

This is also impossible.

After Tsunade left with the two women, his Team 8 was effectively disbanded. Mugetsu himself also became a free man, and until the Third Hokage reassigned him a new mission, he lived each day like a salted fish.

Of course, as a ninja, he still didn't neglect his daily duties and training, even though it was no longer necessary for him now. His body, however, faithfully maintained this habit.

Walking down the street, people pointed and whispered about him, their eyes filled with longing and admiration.

"Look, that child is our Konoha's Celestial Dragon."

"It really is him. He looks so young up close."

"What does it matter if he's young? For a genius like him, age is not a problem at all!"

"That's true. With his current prestige and strength, he should be able to catch up with White Fang, right?!"

"What's so great about White Teeth? A guy who would commit suicide over something so trivial is truly despicable!"

"Hey, stop talking! That silver-haired boy in the back is White Fang's son."

"So what? I'm telling the truth..."

White Fang's son? Kakashi?

Hearing the murmurs of the crowd, Wuyue turned her head in confusion and, sure enough, saw a certain "50/50" guy rushing towards her, his eyes filled with anger. "Xi Ri Wuyue!"

Oh no! This must have exposed that thing about him!

Mugetsu immediately sensed something was wrong. However, it was too late to avoid it at this point, so she could only pretend to be clueless and greet him, "What a coincidence, Kakashi-senpai."

"Heh, what a coincidence." Kakashi suppressed his anger and chuckled coldly. "Tell me, why did you say those things in front of my teacher?"

"Haha, I was just joking," Wuyue said awkwardly.

"joke?"

Kakashi felt like strangling him right now.

In fact, since meeting Mugetsu that day, Kakashi had felt grateful and admiring towards him. He thought Mugetsu was a very good person.

Not only was he exceptionally talented, but he was also very approachable and friendly, even giving away his self-created ninjutsu without hesitation. This made Kakashi feel very fond of him, considering him a potential friend.

However, the busyness of going to the battlefield and the death of his father forced him to suppress his gratitude towards Mugetsu for the time being. Until one day, his teacher, with a hesitant expression, came to him for an in-depth conversation, and Kakashi realized just how badly he had been tricked by him!

No wonder! No wonder the teacher always looked at me with that strange expression, and always waited until he finished showering before going in when taking them to the men's bath. So, the teacher had misunderstood me as a perverted gay man?!

Oh, how despicable! This kind of thing is absolutely unforgivable!

So, while Minato Namikaze led his team back to the village to deliver intelligence, Kakashi had a chance to properly punish a certain culprit.

"Uh, it was just a joke." Wuyue scratched her head and said, "How about I treat you to a meal as compensation?"

· ……

"No way!" Kakashi refused decisively. What the hell?! He had maintained his reputation for so many years; how could he possibly be dismissed with just a meal? "I challenge you to a duel!"

"Let's forget about this," Wuyue waved her hand. "I don't think there's any suspense."

Although Kakashi could be considered a super genius and was quite strong, he was clearly not enough in Wuyue's eyes. Wuyue genuinely didn't want to bully weaklings.

"Are you looking down on me?" Kakashi was even more annoyed.

"No, that's not it." Wuyue shook her head and explained honestly, "It's just that in my opinion, the two of us don't yet meet the prerequisites for a duel."

The implication is that we're not on the same level, so go to sleep, kid. While it's the truth, that's often what hurts the most.

As expected, Kakashi was now beyond just being annoyed; he was practically burning with rage. "You bastard! What did you say?!" he yelled, raising his hand to teach the other person a lesson. He had completely lost his usual calm and indifference.

That's understandable. After all, he had been falsely accused of being gay by Wuyue before, and now he was being looked down upon by her. How could he, still young and hot-blooded, possibly let it go?

"Mugetsu-kun is right, Kakashi." Suddenly, a figure appeared, stopping Kakashi's next move. Those signature blond hair and light blue eyes... it was clearly Minato Namikaze. "You are not yet qualified to challenge a Kage-level shinobi."

what?

Kakashi was startled and stared at Mugetsu in disbelief. "A Kage... a Kage-level shinobi?"

(Gentlemen's Exchange Kingdom: **)

094 A startling speculation

Because he had been on the front lines of the Northwest battlefield for a long time and had not returned to the village, Kakashi learned from the front-line battle reports that Konoha had defeated Sunagakure, but he did not know the details.

He was also unaware of the astonishing contributions Wuyue had made. That's why he appeared so astonished and surprised. At the same time, a deep sense of disbelief rose within him.

A Kage-level ninja?! This has to be a joke, right?! How is this possible?! Kage-level ninjas are super beings at the very top of the ninja world, and this guy is barely even old!

"No doubt about it, it's true."

Minato Namikaze clearly understood what his prized student was thinking and explained softly, "In the battle against the Sand Village, Mugetsu-kun single-handedly and completely suppressed Shukaku, the One-Tailed Beast. He is a true hero."

Suppressing... a Tailed Beast?!

Kakashi's shock intensified once again.

He was no stranger to the existence of the Tailed Beasts, and had learned about their terror and power from various sources. They were almost beyond human capability to defeat! Yet the boy in front of him had done it! Regardless of the method he used, the fact that he could do it all by himself was enough for Kakashi to look up to.

"Senior Minato, you flatter me. I wouldn't call myself a hero," Mugetsu said, scratching his head sheepishly.

“Mr. Muzuki, there’s no need for you to be modest.” Minato Namikaze shook his head and said, “With your current achievements and prestige, you are more than worthy of the title of hero.”

He paused, then turned his gaze to Kakashi. "Also, regarding the misunderstanding about you... I was also at fault. Please forgive us." His words were perfectly timed, easing Wuyue's embarrassment and resolving Kakashi's dilemma.

It must be said that Minato Namikaze's emotional intelligence was truly impeccable. No wonder he was able to surpass Orochimaru a few years later and become the Fourth Hokage of Konoha. His methods of dealing with people and handling affairs are truly admirable and impressive.

"Hmm." Kakashi glanced at Minato Namikaze and nodded, "Since you've said so, then... let's just let this matter drop."

Who knew this white-haired guy had such a proud and aloof side?!

Wu Yue clicked his tongue in amazement, but the instant Kakashi lowered his head, he suddenly caught a glimpse of something unsettling in the other's eyes. This struck Wu Yue like a thunderbolt!

彳

No, no way, I must be seeing things!

Wuyue swallowed hard and quickly shook her head.

How could Kakashi have that look in his eyes, the kind of gaze a little girl has for her idol?! Could it be that he really has feelings for Minato-senpai...? I can't think about it anymore! I can't think about it any further! This, this is too terrifying!

"Muzuki-kun? Muzuki-kun?" Minato Namikaze asked curiously, watching him shake his head. "Are you feeling unwell?"

"Ah? It's nothing, I probably didn't sleep well this morning." Wuyue turned her face away and changed the subject, "Speaking of which, did Senior Minato come back this time to rest?"

"Not entirely." Minato Namikaze smiled and said, "It was mainly to come back and deliver some intelligence. By the way, are you alone? Where's Tsunade-senpai?"

The Third Hokage naturally wouldn't publicize Tsunade's departure from the village, lest it undermine morale. Therefore, even Minato Namikaze was completely unaware of it.

However, Wuyue had no intention of keeping it a secret and said directly, "Teacher, she's gone..."

"Is that so?" Minato Namikaze was visibly taken aback, but didn't ask for further explanation. "Don't be too sad. I believe Tsunade-senpai's departure is only temporary."

Swish.

Just as the two were talking, a ninja wearing a blue vest suddenly ran over from not far away. He nodded to Minato Namikaze first, then turned to Mugetsu and said, "Jonin Mugetsu Yuhi, the Hokage requests your presence..."

"I understand." Wuyue nodded. The Third Hokage was probably looking for her with some new mission, so she didn't ask any more questions. She just smiled at Minato Namikaze and said, "Well then, farewell, Minato-senpai, Kakashi-senpai."

Minato returned the smile. "Alright, perhaps we'll be able to fight side by side soon."

"Hmph!" Kakashi snorted coldly, clearly not yet completely at peace with the matter.
