Konoha: This Uchiha is extremely sneaky

Chapter 473, Section 453: Kushina's Mission

time flies.

It has been almost a year since I returned to Konoha from the Land of Water.

In the Hokage's office, a blonde bombshell was frantically busy processing various documents.

While stamping the document, he kept muttering curses under his breath.

"Uchiha Toshiro, that damned bastard! He actually dumped all these political affairs on me and went off to have a good time. He deserves to die!"

Tsunade fiercely stamped the Hokage seal on a not-so-important document, biting her lower lip and flashing a menacing glint in her eyes.

She never imagined she would end up like this. Originally, her plan was simply to serve as a leisurely Hokage assistant, thus fulfilling her grandfather's wishes.

"Lady Tsunade...this is also the Hokage's trust in you..."

Standing beside Tsunade, holding a large stack of documents, Shizune's expression was relatively calm, and she offered a few words of comfort.

Compared to wandering around with Lady Tsunade and having to evade various creditors, she felt it was much more comfortable to stay in the village.

Thinking back to those days of hiding and running, it was simply unbearable.

"Ah! Finally finished!"

About two hours later, after finishing her work, Tsunade looked out the window at the setting sun and stretched lazily.

The silent girl watching from the side was filled with envy.

"Silence, let's grab Tonton and go gamble a couple of times!"

Tsunade rubbed her hands together. Having not been to a casino for a long time, she couldn't control her gambling addiction and stared at Shizune with shining eyes.

"No, this is all the money we have left for living expenses this month. What if we gamble it all away..."

She clutched her chest, tightened the purse around her neck, and her eyes were filled with grief and indignation.

You have to understand, this is all the living expenses she and Lady Tsunade have left this month. There are still half a month until next month's salary. If they lose it all, they will be penniless again.

"How could this be... I feel incredibly lucky today, I'm sure I can win back all the money I lost before."

When it came to winning money, Tsunade clenched her fists and her eyes turned fierce, especially when her gaze swept over the documents on the table, she gritted her teeth.

"By then, I won't have to face these awful official duties every day!"

After saying this, Tsunade pounced on Shizune and began to grope her body.

"No... Lady Tsunade, if we lose all this money, we won't even have money for food!"

Seeing that Tsunade was still relentless, Shizune huddled in a corner of the office, desperately protecting her chest with both hands, looking as if she was determined to fight to the death.

However, based on Tsunade's experience, this kind of resistance is nothing but a drizzle; Shizune won't last more than a few rounds.

"Cough! Cough!"

Just when Shizune was almost in despair, the door to the Hokage's office was pushed open.

"Hokage-sama!"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Shizune immediately shouted and rushed towards Toshiro, hiding directly behind him.

"Hokage-sama, please persuade Lady Tsunade!"

Upon seeing Toshiro, Shizune felt as if she had found a savior and began to accuse Tsunade.

"You have no idea, when we were wandering around with Lady Tsunade, we were constantly on the run from debt collectors. Now that things have finally settled down a bit, Lady Tsunade is going to start acting up again."

As she spoke, Jingyin began to tear up, clearly recalling those unbearable days.

"Um... Tsunade..."

Seeing this scene as soon as he entered, Toshiro was somewhat helpless.

"If I remember correctly, there's still a huge hole left in the gambling debts that the village guaranteed for you."

"If you have time to gamble, why don't you train a few more medical ninjas? That way I can pay them their wages and help fill this hole!"

Tsunade had accumulated a mountain of gambling debts over the years, and after she settled in Konoha, these people came knocking on her door to collect their debts.

For Toshiro, this was truly a case of someone offering a pillow just when he was about to fall asleep.

He was worried about how to continue to exploit Tsunade and get this woman to continue handling his official duties.

Here comes the excuse.

How can you not pay back your debts? Wouldn't that ruin Konoha's reputation?

He directly used the village's finances to help plug the hole, and then forced Tsunade to pay back the money.

She certainly didn't have that much money to pay back, but as the saying goes, gambling debts can be repaid with sex.

Toshiro assigned her to handle trivial matters that required the Hokage's attention in order to earn a salary and fill the gap in the company.

It just takes a bit long.

"I've already spoken to the gambling dens in the village and told them not to lend you money, yet you still have your eyes on your living expenses. You really are... incorrigible!"

Rolling his eyes, Toshiro muttered a sarcastic remark. This woman really is an extraordinary gambler.

"You idiot, you came in without knocking!"

Tsunade dismissed Toshiro's lecture with disdain, straightened her clothes slightly, and then turned the tables on him.

"...Alright, I'm not going to chat with you anymore. I have important business to attend to here."

Ignoring Tsunade, this woman actually had the nerve to say that you need to knock before entering the Hokage's office? I wonder who it is that always acts so brazenly when entering the Hokage's office.

As he spoke, Toshiro walked to the desk, took out a mission scroll, and stamped it with the Hokage's seal.

"What's wrong with you?"

Tsunade was a little surprised to see the mission scroll that Toshiro had taken out.

Judging from the scroll's design, Tsunade knew that this was a mission directly issued by the Hokage, and of a fairly high level.

Since becoming Hokage, Toshiro seems to have issued very few missions like this.

"This is a task for Kushina-senpai!"

After offering a brief explanation, Toshiro turned and left the Hokage Building. As for whether Tsunade would continue gambling, what did that have to do with him?

On his way home, he ran into Haku, who had just finished school, and Toshiro asked him about his time at the ninja academy.

"Bai, are you getting along well with your teachers and classmates at school?"

After bringing Haku back to Konoha, he immediately had someone help him with some basic literacy and ninja training, which Haku completed perfectly.

However, Toshiro did not directly make him a ninja, but instead placed him in the ninja academy so that he could grow up normally like an ordinary child.

"Great...it's just...the students are a little too enthusiastic!"

Upon hearing Toshiro's words, Haku turned around and looked at the girls who were still waving goodbye to him, a clean smile appearing on his lips as always.

"That's good!"

At first, Toshiro was worried that the child would be treated like Kushina, but he didn't expect that the child would adapt to life at the ninja academy so well.

However, within just two or three days, he had basically integrated into the new class, and his female classmates helped him a lot.

As for the other stories that arose as a result, Bai handled them all very well.

He didn't intend to raise Bai as a tool; it would be good for the child to have a happy childhood.

"Can you understand all the medical ninjutsu-related materials I gave you?"

This child is kind-hearted and somewhat soft-hearted. Toshiro plans to make him a medical ninja, which would be a good thing for him.

"Although it's a bit difficult,... I can generally understand it!"

As he spoke, Haku raised his hands to show Toshiro, and slowly, a soft, pale green light appeared on them.

As the green light appeared, Shiro looked up at Toshiro with anticipation.

"What a genius!"

Ruffled Shiro's head and praised him with a smile.

This child can condense medical chakra without any instruction, relying solely on some information; this is truly an extraordinary talent.

However, given the reference to the original work, such a performance is understandable.

Back home, Toshiro enjoyed a dinner prepared by Chie and was savoring a cup of hot tea when an uninvited guest arrived, disrupting his peace.

"Lord Hokage, please forgive my intrusion. May I ask what brings you here?"

Kushina, with her long red hair, accepted the hot tea offered by Haku and gave him a kind smile.

Her chakra perception was sharp, and Haku gave her a very clean and pure feeling. From the first time she saw him, she liked this child very much.

"Speaking of which, it was I who disrupted Kushina's life. I wonder how she's adjusting to life at the Uchiha compound lately?"

Looking at Kushina, Toshiro took a sip of his hot tea and began to exchange pleasantries with her.

To be honest, the other party was living comfortably at home, but in order to prevent the Third Hokage from exerting too much influence on Kushina and Naruto, I forced them to move to the Uchiha clan's territory.

I felt a little embarrassed after that, as I ignored the mother and son.

"Thank you for your concern, Hokage. The Uchiha clan members are very hospitable, and Mikoto and I are good friends. I'm having a great time here."

"Moreover, Naruto also made some very good friends here."

Most of the Uchiha clan members knew Kushina's identity and welcomed Toshiro's offer to let Kushina stay on their clan's land.

They took great care of her, and Naruto adapted very well here.

only…

The thought of Naruto and Sasuke, those two bickering lovers, gave her a headache for no apparent reason.

They are two children who clearly understand and respect each other, but for some reason, they always seem to have some inexplicable disagreements.

This caused both her and Mikoto great distress.

"That's good!"

Seeing that Kushina didn't seem too opposed to the move, Toshiro didn't say much.

"I have a task for you, and I'm sure you'll accept it gladly!"

As he spoke, Toshiro took out the mission scroll he had just prepared in the Hokage's office and handed it to Kushina.

This was prepared especially for Kushina.
