Naruto: I, who didn't want to be hacked to pieces, saved the ninja world.

"This is a perk to celebrate Aoba becoming Hokage; all the ramen and chashu are double today."

Ayame replied with a smile, then added jokingly, "But as the future Hokage's wives, your ramen will be on the house."

When Sakura and Ino heard each other mention "future Hokage's wife," their faces flushed slightly.

"Honestly, Sister Changpu, all you do is tease us."

Ino, being rather shy, couldn't help but utter a coquettish remark.

"Haha."

Seeing the shy Ino, Ayame smiled again, but her expression now held a hint of wistfulness.

"It feels like Aoba was just a little kid not long ago, and now he's suddenly going to become Hokage."

"It's not sudden at all. Aoba is so outstanding, it's only natural that he became Hokage."

When the topic turned to Shirokumo Aoba, Ino's shyness was replaced by a feeling of pride.

"That's right, there's no one in Konoha more suitable to be Hokage than Aoba right now."

Sakura also came from a similar background.

Seeing how eagerly the two girls were to protect her, Ayame's smile widened.

"I'm just amazed at how fast time flies. Not to mention you guys, I've watched Aoba grow up with my own eyes."

"Hmm, I remember that Aoba started eating ramen here when he was about two years old."

Teuchi, who was making ramen in the back, added with a kind expression, "Back then, Ayame wasn't very old either. Every time she came to help, she liked to pinch people's cheeks."

"After all, it's easy to pinch a child's cheeks."

Changpu smiled, but quickly gave a regretful look, "But after Xiyan came along, I couldn't pinch her anymore."

"Back then, Xiyan kept a close eye on Qingye and wouldn't let anyone touch her."

"That's right, that's right. Once when we went to find Aoba, I saw Sister Yuyan with a very scary expression."

Sakura took a bite of the char siu, nodded hurriedly, and said with wide eyes, "I thought I was going to be killed."

Why have I never seen him before?

Ino scratched her head blankly.

"That's because every time you go to see Aoba, you end up arguing with Tenten. I've been paying close attention to Aoba and Yugao's attitudes."

Sakura said casually.

"Huh?"

Ino never expected that Sakura had been so thoughtful since she was little.

"After all, Ino, you've always liked to compete with Tenten in everything since you were little. I just didn't expect that you could be so harmonious as adults."

The smile on Changpu's face never stopped.

"That's because Aoba is such a jerk..."

The three chatted and laughed, reminiscing about the various fun things that happened when they were children.

Soon after, Hinata and the others arrived at Ichiraku Ramen.

Both groups looked surprised when they met, neither expecting to run into the other today.

"Sister Ayame, the other two future Hokage wives have arrived. Do you still want your meal free?"

After a brief moment of surprise, Ino remembered Ayame's teasing earlier and immediately covered her mouth, chuckling as she teased back.

"The future Hokage's wife?"

Hinata and Karin had just sat down when they heard Ino's words and were immediately restrained again.

"..."

Seeing Hinata's stunned expression, Ayame felt a pang of regret, but still waved her hand generously and said, "No, no, it's all on me today! I'll pay for everything!"

"Thank you, Sister Changpu."

Hinata and the others were still reeling from the "Hokage's wife" comment, but after hearing Ayame's invitation to dinner, they thanked her first.

After Sakura and Ino learned the purpose of Hinata and the others' appearance, the original four-person team suddenly expanded to six people.

After lunch, the group expanded to eight people...

-

Shirokumo Aoba was unaware of the suffering Temari was about to endure; at that moment, he was comfortably enjoying Tsunade's lap pillow and massage.

Chapter 629 Kid, You're Dead

"Lord Hokage, it's almost lunchtime."

Shizune put down her file and looked at Shirokumo Aoba, who was working with her head down, with a smile in her eyes.

"..."

Undoubtedly, her address of "Lord Hokage" silenced the other two people present.

"This 'Hokage-sama' title sounds rather strange."

Baiyun Qingye said helplessly.

"Then... how is Lord Aoba?"

Jingyin tilted her head, tapped her chin with her index finger, and asked teasingly.

"...I don't mind if you call me that at night, Shizune-neechan."

When Shizune continued to tease her, Shiro rolls her eyes and teases her back.

"Uh……"

Jingyin, who was rather shy, blushed slightly after hearing Baiyun Qingye's sarcastic remark.

She gave him a reproachful glare and then stopped joking.

"Alright, Aoba, what do you want for lunch? I'll go get some."

There was no objection...

"Lunch can be the same as before."

When Shirokumo Aoba saw Shizune's shy expression, he couldn't help but smile.

"Is Lady Tsunade the same?"

Shizune looked at Tsunade again.

"Ah."

Tsunade nodded in agreement. It was so cold outside, and it was snowing, so she didn't want to go out.

"Okay, I'll be right back."

Having received their answers, Shizune got up and walked towards the door.

Only Shirakumo Aoba and Tsunade remained in the office.

Tsunade, who had been sitting on the sofa reading magazines all morning, put down her magazine, put her hands on her lower back, and stretched lazily.

"Ugh~ My back is getting tired after sitting for so long."

It turns out that even sitting still for a long time can be tiring.

But her simple action was incredibly impressive to onlookers.

Her mature, voluptuous, and fiery curves made Bai Yunqingye glare at her fiercely a few times.

Tsunade noticed his gaze, turned around, crossed her long legs encased in black stockings, and teased, "What? Shizune just stepped out the door, and you can't even hold back anymore?"

"..."

Bai Yunqingye silently stood up, her gaze lingering only on that alluring face with its provocative undertones for a moment before settling on those long, crossed legs in black stockings.

"Teacher, may I use my lap as a pillow?"

"Ok?"

Shirokumo Aoba's answer stunned Tsunade; it was somewhat different from what she had imagined.

Given this brat's personality, she would have pounced on him long ago, given her usual behavior. How come she's so patient today?

This brat...

"Doesn't the teacher want to?"

A look of disappointment immediately appeared on Baiyun Qingye's face.

"Yes, yes, come over here."

Seeing his expression, Tsunade couldn't help but roll her eyes, and her legs, which had been crossed, were now placed side by side again.

A smile immediately appeared on Baiyun Qingye's face. She walked directly to the sofa, lay down on her side, and rested her head on Tsunade's black-stockinged thigh, facing her flat waist and abdomen.

He closed his eyes contentedly, a faint, sweet fragrance lingering around his nose.

"Is a lap pillow enough?"

Seeing that he was actually resting his head on her lap so comfortably without making any movement, Tsunade couldn't help but ask again.

"Hmm... I've looked at so many documents today, and I have a bit of a headache. If it's alright, could you give me a massage again, teacher?"

Shirokumo Aoba wanted to turn around and see Tsunade's expression, but found that his view was completely blocked by the two mountains, so he simply continued to face the wall in contemplation.

"..."

Tsunade pursed her lips, frowned and thought for a moment, then reached out her hands to massage his head.

Let's see what tricks this kid is up to.

However, not long after, she realized that something was wrong.

As a ninja, she possessed keen senses and could clearly feel the warm breath exhaled by Shirokumo Aoba.

Even though there were several layers of clothing between them, she still felt uncomfortable.
