Both girls nodded repeatedly. Kakashi didn't say anything, but silently stood up. After Kushina and the others left, Bai Yu said softly, "As Tsunade said, if you fall..."

"Then these voices will disappear immediately, as if no one ever said them. The higher-ups will, unsurprisingly, jump out to express their grief, and you will be proven right then and there, but your child."

"He will lose his father, lose a complete family, and have a childhood that is no longer happy. You are a hero of Konoha. Even so, many people still respect you. Your child has never looked down on you. You are his pride."

With a gentle smile, Bai Yu said, "Live on. You are still young. You have many honors to receive, many wonderful things to experience, and many beautiful sights to see. There are also your son's. The son of a genius will not be mediocre either."

"So... hang in there, these voices will disappear after a while."

Tsunade nodded repeatedly, while Hatake Sakumo lowered his head, clenched his fists tightly, and his shoulders trembled slightly. Tsunade wanted to say something, but Shiraha simply put his finger to her lips.

Tsunade pursed her lips, watching a tear silently fall onto the back of her hand. She said nothing, simply standing up and watching silently. Bai Yu smiled and said, "You're a hero, a good ninja, but you're also a good father. You prepared dinner with great care. However, you seem to be in a unusually good mood today, so perhaps you should prepare a little more..."

As he spoke, he pulled Tsunade outside. As soon as they stepped outside, they saw several people sitting neatly in a row. Bai Yu and Tsunade shook their heads with smiles. Bai Yu walked over to Kakashi, sat down, and said with a smile, "You guys will have an extra meal today."

Kakashi turned his head to look at Shiraha, then turned back and said softly, "They say you're a very powerful ninja?"

"Hmm... I'm not a ninja. As for being powerful... I'm just strong enough to protect what I want to protect."

"Enough to protect what I want to protect..."

"The wise seek strength within, the unwise seek strength without. Your thoughts and your determination will be invisible forces. Your father was a hero, for glory, for protection, for sacrifice. What do you intend to do for?"

Kakashi paused slightly, looked up at Bai Yu's gentle smile, and after a long while, said softly, "For..."

Before Kakashi could finish speaking, Bai Yu raised his hand and said, "This seed is planted in your heart. Use your actions to make it sprout and grow. Your father is a hero, and you will be no less so. You have a great source of pride and a goal to pursue."

"Just think of it as a candle on a birthday cake. Make a wish before you blow it out, don't say it out loud, just keep it to yourself, do it, and once you've done it, nothing else matters."

Kakashi turned his head away without saying anything, and after a long while he said softly, "Making wishes on birthday cakes is just for kids."

"Aren't you a child too? No matter how mature you are, you're still a child. Hmm... you seem like a rather interesting kid. If you're going to be separated into different classes in 4 and 5, I hope you can find a teacher with a warm personality. Go on, you'll get a special treat today. Go help your father. Tsunade, let's go."

"Oh!"

As Kakashi watched Bai Yu and the others leave, he was lost in thought when suddenly the door behind him opened. Hatake Sakumo's eyes seemed to brighten as he smiled and said, "Kakashi, what would you like to eat for an extra meal today?"

Kakashi paused slightly, pursed his lips beneath his mask, glanced at Tsunade and the others who were already chatting and laughing as they left, then turned back and said softly, "Is his name Shiroha?"

"Hmm... If I remember correctly, Tsunade has a good husband."

Kakashi silently memorized the name and followed Sakumo Hatake home. However, this time, the eyes of the father and son seemed to brighten, and the originally quiet room suddenly appeared brighter.

Chapter 266 Mitarashi Anko's Adoration, and the Unlucky Nawaki (Please Subscribe~)

At this moment, Mitarashi Anko and Yuhi Kurenai finally breathed a sigh of relief. Whether it was the atmosphere just now or the news they had heard, they felt that their young hearts had been shaken. It was as if they had learned something incredible.

Kushina smiled at the two girls and said, "You don't need to think too much. This matter will end suddenly. Just don't go out and talk about it."

Both of them nodded repeatedly, and Bai Yu said with a smile, "Kushina is much more composed now, but there's no need to be so careful, it's alright."

"Really, Brother Baiyu, I'm not the little girl I used to be. I'm really powerful now."

"But you can still vaguely see traces of your childhood self."

Kushina just gave a slightly awkward smile, while Kurenai and Anko Mitarashi secretly glanced at Shiraha. This was Tsunade's legendary lover, after all. He was indeed very handsome. The key point was that they had listened very carefully to what he had just said to Kakashi. He really was a very gentle person.

Bai Yu noticed the two girls' gazes, turned his head, and said with a smile, "What's wrong?"

The two girls blushed as they were caught peeking. Kurenai quickly said, "It's nothing. We just heard that Mr. Shiraha is a very powerful person, but we didn't expect him to be so gentle and approachable when he was comforting and guiding Hatake-kun."

Bai Yu paused for a moment, bent down slightly, looked at the two girls, and said with a smile, "I just don't want his childhood to be completely tainted by bad emotions. It's better for a child to have a childhood full of laughter, and so should you two."

“You are different from Kakashi and Kushina. You had a happy childhood, friends, and family. You are also two smart girls. You know this, but there are many things behind it that are more complicated than you can imagine.”

"You become ninjas not only because this world has chosen you, but also because it is your will. You become stronger and study hard not only for honor, but also to protect your home and the people you want to protect."

"Tsunade spoke of the Will of Fire, which is your purest childlike heart. Don't let anything affect you, have a happy childhood, show your talents at the best age, protect what you want to protect, and don't feel disappointed in your village. This is your home."

Kurenai Yuhi and Anko Mitarashi both nodded. Shiraha smiled and said, "Kushina and Konan know you, which means you are good kids with great talent. You will become excellent ninjas in the future. Go home now, or your families might get worried."

"Oh..." x2

Tsunade smiled and said, "Honey, you're really good at taking care of kids. These two girls seem quite bright, they should be pretty good. Let's hurry up and go buy groceries. Konan, you and Kushina go find Mikoto. Nawaki, come with us to carry the things."

"Okay!" x3

Watching the group leave, Mitarashi Anko murmured blankly, "Mr. Shiraha is such a nice person..."

Kurenai nodded seriously, then turned to Anko Mitarashi as if she had suddenly remembered something and said, "Anko, let's leave it at that. Don't tell anyone, and don't mention it to Hatake-kun."

"I'm not stupid! I definitely know what to do. But Mr. Shirayu is so handsome! I'm sure I can become a really powerful ninja in the future, just as powerful as Mr. Shirayu!"

"But do you know how amazing Mr. Bai Yu is?"

"Um... at least Kage-level! Any ninja who doesn't aspire to Kage-level is just a lazy bum!"

"Um... I'm really impressed by you. But when Lady Tsunade left, no one knew when she left, and now no one knows when she will return. It looks like she will return today. How mysterious."

Mitarashi Anko nodded in agreement. The two girls were chatting about Shiraha and the others. On the other side, Tsunade was holding Shiraha's arm and her mood had clearly improved. She would tell the Third Hokage when they left in a few days.

The surrounding residents also recognized Tsunade and Shiraha. They had a deep impression of the couple. They were top-notch in terms of looks, temperament, and strength. They were also very nice people. Their fame had spread quickly throughout the village in recent years.

Everyone knows that Bai Yu is a very powerful person. Jiraiya and Kushina have also said that they used to think that Tsunade had a boyfriend just to deal with those suitors, but later they found out that it was true, and the couple is very much in love.

"Chicken skewers! I miss them so much!"

Bai Yu said somewhat helplessly, "This time there's still time, you're not going to just eat a couple of bites and then dump it on me again, are you?"

"You still look down on me?!"

Bai Yu sighed helplessly, pinched Tsunade's face which was full of dissatisfaction, and smiled at the shopkeeper, saying, "Six chicken skewers, please cook three of them a little less."

"it is good!"

"Brother-in-law, I don't want to eat."

Tsunade said irritably, "What are you eating? Go pay! It's obvious those three small skewers were bought for me by your brother-in-law!"

Bai Yu smiled and shook his head, saying, "You're too quiet, kid. I almost forgot you were there."

Nawaki's eyes twitched. Goodness, why is he the one who suffers when you two are showing off your love?! Tsunade covered her mouth and chuckled when she saw Nawaki's expression. She didn't know if Nawaki had regained her childhood personality or if she had been influenced by Lucifer and the others.

Tsunade was only in her early twenties. Although she had shed her naivety and gained a bit of womanly maturity, she was still only in her early twenties. With the nourishment of love and the pampering of her husband, she lived the carefree life of a wealthy housewife, often joking around with her sisters.

Now she's quite skilled at it, and looks like she used to be a vibrant young girl. To quote Senzaemon Nakiri's assessment of Managi, she's been spoiled like a child by Shiraha.

Nawaki finally paid with a helpless expression and just stood there. He paid for the chicken skewers himself, so it was none of his business, but the high-class dog food was all-you-can-eat. Tsunade didn't care at all whether they were on the street or Nawaki was right next to her.

This made Rope Tree sigh. It seemed he should start thinking about finding a girlfriend. He had been bombarded with so much PDA in just half a day that he was feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Chapter 267 Mikoto's Excitement and Tsunade's Rant (Please Subscribe~)

At this moment, Uchiha Mikoto was somewhat excited because she had heard Tsunade and the others talk about Hakuba since she was a child. After Tsunade passed away, she finally met him in person after all these years.

That's not the key point. The key point is that since Tsunade and the others are back, it means I can go to that shop. Besides, Tsunade said before that she could stay there, so I could stay away from many things I don't want to be involved in.

At first, she didn't quite believe it, but Konan believed it, and Nawaki and Tsunade also said so, so she believed it too. Today she finally saw it, and it would be a lie to say she wasn't excited.

"It tastes just like it did when I was a kid. Honey, you should eat some too. You bought so much, but I'm not a pig; I still need to eat dinner tonight."

Bai Yu glanced at Tsunade with a hint of helplessness. Tsunade pursed her lips and didn't say anything, but simply brought the meat skewer in her hand to Bai Yu's mouth. Bai Yu sighed and said, "This doesn't seem like the amount of food you eat when you're having a party with Zhengyi and the others tonight."

"Hmm..."

Bai Yu sighed and accepted the meat skewer Tsunade handed him. He then took out a new skewer and started eating. The two of them walked and ate, chatting as they ate. Nawaki, on the other hand, looked utterly dejected. He was carrying vegetables, meat, and fish, and yet he still had to pay for it himself.

The older sister is still the same older sister, but the brother-in-law has been corrupted by her. If Tsunade knew what Nawaki was thinking, she would definitely give him a good beating to loosen his muscles.

"Tsunade-neechan!"

Just as Tsunade was debating how many bites of the skewer to take before tossing it to Shiraha, she heard Kushina's voice. Turning around, she saw Kushina leading a black-haired girl over, with Konan silently following behind.

Tsunade paused for a moment when she saw the black-haired girl before exclaiming in surprise, "Mikoto?!"

Mikoto Uchiha nodded and said, "Tsunade-neechan, you don't recognize me, do you?"

Tsunade said with a surprised look, "I really don't recognize you anymore. You've changed so much. You've grown up and are different from when you were a child. No wonder your clan has always had someone watching you."

"Tsunade-nee, let's not talk about this... This must be Mr. Shiraha."

Tsunade smiled and said, "Who else could I hold onto? But Mikoto, since you know why we came here, you should know that you're one of us too. You can call me 'sister,' so there's no need to be so formal."

"That's right, Misaka."

After hesitating for a moment, Mikoto Uchiha still said in a standard way, "Nice to meet you, Brother Bai Yu. I am Mikoto Uchiha. Please take care of me."

Bai Yu nodded and smiled, saying, "You seem like a very gentle and composed person, just like your appearance suggests. However, there's no need to be so reserved."

Tsunade handed over three skewers of grilled meat and said, "Hey, these are from your husband. Kushina, what happened when you went to see Mikoto?"

Kushina and the others naturally understood what it meant. If you were to ask which clan in Konoha was the most antisocial, arrogant, and xenophobic, it would be the Uchiha clan. Although they were divided into doves and hawks, it was no small matter that they came to find Uchiha Mikoto.

Mikoto Uchiha sighed and said, "Tsunade-neechan, let's talk about this when we get home..."

Tsunade nodded without saying anything. After the group bought a bunch of things and got home, Nawaki immediately made a run for it and wouldn't show up unless called for dinner. Tsunade just covered her mouth and chuckled.

Bai Yu smiled helplessly, flicked Tsunade's nose without saying anything, and Tsunade snorted and glanced at Bai Yu with a hint of smugness before turning her head and saying, "Mikoto, you can talk now, right?"

Mikoto Uchiha sighed and said, "Tsunade-nee, although I had heard Kushina and you say before how loving you and Shiraha-nii are, I still didn't expect you to act cute like this. It feels a little strange to see you like this now."

Tsunade wasn't shy at all. She grabbed Shirayu's arm and said with a smile, "What's so strange about it? My husband is great. We're husband and wife, what's so strange about it? Tell me what's going on with you."

Mikoto Uchiha pursed her lips and finally said with some helplessness, "Tsunade-nee, you know the characteristics of the Uchiha clan. Although everyone knows that I am your student, and I am also very familiar with Kushina and Konan, we are all good friends."

"But whenever Kushina and Konan come to see me, Konan is alright, but Kushina is usually the subject of whispers or furtive glances from some people."

"As expected, the Uchiha clan is still the same. I felt it when I went to the Uchiha camp before. After so many years, even an ice cube would melt. Kushina and Konan are both good kids, but after all these years, they still haven't let go of their feelings of rejection and suspicion."

Mikoto Uchiha could only sigh. The fact that she could go out with Kushina so easily and stay at Kushina's house already showed a level of trust, which had been built up over time. However, this was probably the limit.

Tsunade waved her hand and said, "..." Let's not talk about that. Tell me first, how's your family doing lately? And what about you? Kushina and the others don't know everything. Now that I'm back, you can talk to them without worry. I'll take you to move in a couple of days. Just tell me whatever you want."

Mikoto nodded and said, "Alright, it's the same as always. Because they want to win over my father, and given my strength, the clan has always hoped I could marry Fugaku as soon as possible, but..."

"Is there anything else?"

"Actually, there's nothing else. But sometimes I really feel like I would have been better off being born into an ordinary family, or even not being a ninja. It would have been nice to be like Ms. Ayame."

Xiao Nan tilted her head and said, "Sister Changpu is really great. She's always busy, and her family is harmonious..."

"Yeah... let's not talk about that for now. Tsunade-nee, it's so good that you're here, otherwise I would have had a real headache."

"My husband and I will be staying here for about a week. Before we leave, we need to see our teacher. Mikoto, you can come to us during the day these next few days. No one will dare to say anything. When the time comes, you can come with us. Mikoto, you don't need to come back. Konan and Kushina, you two are still here."

"As we said before, come find us when that time comes. Of course, you don't have to be so silly. You can come and visit anytime. It's just a matter of adjusting the schedule."

"Okay!" x3

Chapter 268 Excited Tsunade, Shy Girls (Please Subscribe~)

Dinner was entirely prepared by Shiraha, although Kushina and the others also came over to help. However, faced with Shiraha's absolute culinary skills, they didn't prepare any dishes themselves, but simply washed vegetables and carried plates, chatting as they prepared, which made for a lively atmosphere.

When Xiao Nan saw the table full of food in the evening, she was also looking forward to it. She had seen Bai Yu's amazing cooking skills in the kitchen earlier, and the aroma alone had made them hungry.

"It's been many years since I've felt this relaxed. Tsunade, Shiraha, please thank that Beelzebub for me."

"Hey, Grandma, she'll be so proud to hear you say that. But we're all family, so there's no need to say thank you. Just stay healthy. You used to be able to eat strong-flavored food, but you can now."

"Indeed, it's been a long time since I've had any dishes with a strong flavor, Mikoto."

"Grandma Mito, what's wrong?"

Mito Uzumaki turned to Mikoto Uchiha and said with a smile, "This time, you'll go to the shop with Tsunade and the others. Calculate the time... don't come back for the next six months. The Uchiha won't target just you."

Mikoto Uchiha nodded and said, "That's what I think too, but my father..."

“Your father is a formidable ninja and a member of the dove faction. He won’t do anything to him just because you’re not here, so you don’t need to worry.”

"Oh...."

"Alright, look at how intently Kushina is staring at the food, everyone, let's not be so formal and start eating."

"it is good!"

Konan was also very much looking forward to the meal. Uchiha Mikoto and Konan had heard Tsunade and Kushina say since they were young that Hakuba was a very nice person, that the restaurant was magical, and that Hakuba's cooking was amazing, but they had never had the chance to go to the restaurant or taste it.
