XX-level Hokage

Shizune was buying fried noodles at the moment. Although she and Tsunade were no longer short of money, she still preferred to buy fried noodles, a cheap and filling food.

At this moment, Shizune was thinking about Sakura and Karin. Her training in the second stage of medical ninjutsu was nearing its end when Tsunade presented her with a major problem: the ownership of the summoning beast in Shikkotsu Forest.

"Ugh, Tsunade-sama always likes to throw these kinds of difficult questions at me, Sakura and Karin. How am I supposed to bring this up?" Shizune muttered to herself while waiting for her yakisoba.

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared and hugged Shizune tightly. Shizune's body only stiffened for a moment before recovering instantly. "Mashiro, you're here," Shizune whispered.

"That's strange, Shizune wasn't scared this time," Mashiro said softly as she released Shizune.

"Besides you, who else would suddenly hug me on the street?" Shizune retorted, then her face inexplicably turned red.

Mashiro looked at Shizune and noticed the hair clip in her hair. She gently reached out and smoothed her hair, saying softly, "You're very pretty, Shizune."

"Thank you," Shizune said, blushing. Mashiro also ordered a plate of fried noodles.

Then the two arrived at the fried noodle stall, and Mashiro asked softly, "Is Shizune troubled by something? You look a little troubled."

Shizune sighed and said, "It's not until Tsunade took Sakura and Karin as her disciples that she set three training stages for them. The first stage was to learn about medical ninjutsu and some basic medical ninjutsu. The second stage was to do volunteer work at the hospital to help patients and participate in some village missions. The third stage was when they would formally begin their studies. At that time, Tsunade would teach them some unique secrets."

Now, the second phase is about to end in a few days, and Lady Tsunade suddenly threw the summoning scroll for Shikkotsu Forest at me, asking me to choose between Sakura and Karin to be the summoner for Shikkotsu Forest. I'm a bit troubled; I don't know who to choose, and I don't know how to tell them.

"Hasn't Shizune considered using this summoning scroll herself? You are also qualified to become a summoner of Shikkotsu Forest." Mashiro suddenly asked after hearing Shizune's words.

"Me? No, no, this is too important, I can't take it anymore," Shizune said hastily, waving her hands.

“Shizune seems a bit insecure,” Mashiro said softly. “That’s not the reason.”

Shizune shook her head and then said, "A long time ago, Lady Tsunade told me that she wanted to pass on her mantle to me, which included the summoning scroll of Shikkotsu Forest, but I did not agree."

"Why?" Zhen asked, somewhat puzzled.

She had this question in her previous life: Shizune was Tsunade's eldest disciple and had followed Tsunade for many years, but in the end, Tsunade passed on her mantle to Sakura.

"Because I'm too capable of handling heavy burdens. Tsunade's legacy includes not only healing and saving lives, but also protection and combat. From my perspective, healing and saving lives is fine, but I can't do it on the battlefield. So it should be passed on to someone stronger." Shizune said, touching her hair somewhat embarrassedly.

Is that really the reason? Mashiro let out a soft breath, looked at Shizune with incredibly gentle eyes, and then suddenly kissed her on the cheek.

Shizune froze, and when she realized what had happened, her face instantly turned bright red. "You, you..." Shizune's voice trembled slightly.

"Alright, let's go back." Mashiro smiled and stood up. By then, her fried noodles were ready. The two of them, carrying the fried noodles, walked together to the Senju clan's territory.

"I've put the fried noodles on the table first," Mashiro said softly in Kushina's room. Kushina gently opened her eyes, looked at Mashiro, and then sat up from the bed.

"What's wrong?" Seeing that Kushina was staring at him, Shinji put down the fried noodles and asked softly.

"Mashiro, why do you like me?" Kushina asked, a question that puzzled her greatly. "The reason? Probably because you're very good-looking," Mashiro said playfully.

Mashiro wasn't lying; Kushina's looks were among the top five Mashiro had ever seen. Kushina said expressionlessly, "I'm serious, why do you like me?"

Kushina didn't believe she possessed that kind of irresistible charm, nor did she think Mashiro was someone who would be attracted to someone's looks.

"As for the reason, I can't really say. Maybe it's because your smile is so bright, like a chili pepper, fiery yet irresistible. Or maybe it's because of the gentleness and kindness in your heart, like a tomato, with a sweet and sour heart beneath its fiery red exterior," Mashiro said earnestly.

Kushina did not refute Mashiro's words again.

"I want to hug you." Mashiro suddenly said. Kushina didn't object and closed her eyes tightly. Mashiro stepped forward and gently hugged Kushina.

The unique fragrance of Mashiro wafted into Kushina's nostrils.

"Goodnight, sweet dreams," Mashiro said softly, then left Kushina's room. She went downstairs and into the living room.

After having dinner with Tehan, Tayuya, and Shiro.

Mashiro got up and walked out of the villa. Not far away was a mansion, the mansion where Tsunade and Shizune lived. Mashiro hadn't forgotten it. Today, she had promised Tsunade that she would come to exchange medical ninjutsu.

In Tsunade's room, Tsunade had just finished bathing and drying herself, and was now drying her hair in front of the mirror. After drying her hair, Tsunade reached for the comb, but another hand was faster and grabbed it first.

"You've come," Tsunade said softly. "Yes."

Mashiro nodded gently, then began to comb Tsunade's hair. "Oh, I forgot to ask, what's going on with Kushina?"

Chapter 129: Night

"Why is Tsunade so certain that person was Kushina? It could be someone else in disguise," Mashiro said, gently smoothing Tsunade's hair. "I can sense the special chakra within Kushina's body, and the evil and immense power of the Nine-Tails. Besides, given your precedent, Kushina's sudden..."

"Even if it happens, I can barely accept it." Tsunade said, looking at herself in the mirror.

"Do you remember what I told you about what happened when I disappeared? I found Kushina in that space and brought her out. As for why she was there, I don't know either." Mashiro said calmly, tying Tsunade's hair into a neat knot.

Mashiro didn't tell Tsunade the truth. After all, time travel was a taboo subject, and Tsunade had finally managed to escape the shadows of her past. Mashiro...

I didn't want her to have the idea of ​​reviving Rope Tree and Broken Tree again after learning about the time travel.

Tsunade frowned. She would rather Kushina's appearance be Mashiro's doing than something unknown. "What are you planning to do?" Tsunade turned to Mashiro and asked.

"Kushina and Naruto's relationship won't last long. After all, Naruto still has a part of Kushina's soul and chakra within him. Sooner or later, Naruto will..."

Matsuri realized that she wanted to use this relationship to make Kushina more obedient before the two of them recognized each other. "Makoto got up, sat on the bed, and said without any hesitation..."

"I advise you not to have any ulterior motives towards Kushina. She is Minato's wife." Tsunade had already guessed what Mashiro wanted to do, and said with a sigh.

“Strictly speaking, the Kushina we see now is the Kushina before she married Minato; she can’t be considered Minato’s wife,” Mashiro said softly, lying on the bed.

Tsunade couldn't refute Mashiro's words, just as she had always known what Mashiro wanted to do but never stopped him.

Thinking this, Tsunade suddenly pressed down on Mashiro. Cloth flew everywhere.

When Mashiro is with Tsunade, she is often in a passive position, but she doesn't dislike that feeling.

In the end, Tsunade was the first to run out of energy, her whole body becoming limp. Mashiro got up and alternated between offense and defense.

"Lady Tsunade, Lady Tsunade," Shizune called softly as she walked toward Tsunade's room.

Shizune tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, so she got up to clear her head. But as she approached Tsunade's room, she faintly heard some strange noises.

As he slowly approached Tsunade's door, the strange noises became even more pronounced. "Is the door not closed properly, Lady Tsunade?"

Unable to resist, Shizune peeked through the crack in the door and witnessed the erotic scene inside.

Silent's face instantly turned bright red. She wanted to scream, but she quickly covered her mouth, trying her best not to make a sound.

Peering through the crack, Shizune pressed her ear against the door. Scene after scene, sound after sound.

This caused Shizune's eyes to gradually become unfocused. Lady Tsunade was actually with Mashiro...

Shizune knew that Mashiro was attracted to women, having once accidentally witnessed Mashiro's attraction to them. However, she hadn't expected Tsunade to feel the same way. The image of her beloved, her respected teacher, between the two was far more compelling than the scene Shizune had witnessed with Mashiro and Tsunade before.

This should be dozens of times more shocking.

So even Lady Tsunade can make that kind of expression...

"I'm so smug, what is that feeling? I feel like I'm starting to look weird."

Jingyin's face was flushed, her eyes were glazed, her body felt weak, and she involuntarily reached out her hand.

Almost no one would approach the Senju clan's territory without a reason.

At this moment, in a courtyard within the clan's territory, a gray-clad, black-haired girl was teasing him with a dazed look in her eyes.

Mashiro naturally knew that Shizune was outside the door. She sensed it as soon as Shizune entered the courtyard, but instead of stopping Shizune from getting closer, she had the Shadow Legion secretly open a crack in the door.

Tsunade was completely unaware. Normally she might have noticed, but now, under Mashiro's attack and with the help of... The tail of the dragon, Tsunade's thoughts were in utter chaos.

The next day, early in the morning.

When Mashiro woke up, she could no longer sense Shizune's presence and had no idea when she had left. "She's gone?" Mashiro rubbed her eyes and murmured.

"What's wrong?" Tsunade woke up at that moment, reached out and pulled Mashiro over, hugging her tightly like a pillow. "It's time to get up, you have to go to work." Mashiro patted Tsunade's chest and said lazily.

"No rush, sleep a little longer." Tsunade rubbed her face against Shiro's a few times; she didn't seem to be fully awake yet.

A moment later, Mashiro also fell asleep without realizing it. Last night, the two had a very intense battle.

After a back-and-forth battle, Tsunade was quickly routed. Just when Shiro thought victory was assured, Tsunade activated her Hundred Healings Technique and also activated the Mikate bloodline within her body.

A new battle began, and the battlefield shifted from the bed to the entire room. Mashiro almost couldn't hold on any longer and considered whether to switch to Otsutsuki mode. Fortunately, Tsunade finally gave in, and the battle ended.

The two slept for a long time, until one o'clock in the morning, when they woke up one after another and came to the living room, where two servings of fried noodles were placed.

"It was Shizune who bought it, but why did she buy two portions? Did she find out we were together?" Tsunade looked at the fried noodles and said with some doubt. "She probably guessed, since neither of us was there at the same time," Mashiro said, concealing the fact that Shizune had spied on them last night.

"That's the only explanation. I hope Shizune didn't come into the room, otherwise, seeing this mess would really tarnish my dignity," Tsunade said with a self-deprecating laugh, still puzzled.

"I hope so," Mashiro said with a smile, and then the two began to eat fried noodles together. After finishing, Mashiro returned to the villa, while Tsunade turned and went to the Hokage's office.

Tsunade pushed open the door and entered the Hokage's office.

"Lady Tsunade, you've finally arrived. There are still some documents that need your approval." Upon seeing Tsunade, Shizune said with a sigh of relief. Seeing that Shizune was perfectly normal, Tsunade felt a sense of relief as well.

"It's nothing. I was discussing medical ninjutsu with Mashiro until late yesterday, so I woke up a little late today," Tsunade said, yawning as she sat down in the Hokage's chair.

"I knew it would be like this, so I specially bought two servings of fried noodles. Have you eaten?" Shizune asked with a smile.

"I ate it, but it's a bit cold." Tsunade said, then casually picked up a document. "Of course it'll be cold; I delivered it at 11 o'clock." Shizune said noncommittally.

Back at the villa, Shouhan and Duoyou went out shopping, Bai was reading in the library, and Huohua returned to the Hyuga clan to learn advanced jutsu.

After teasing Shiro for a while, Shiro went up to the third floor and entered Kushina's room. Kushina was lying on the bed watching TV, and there was a cream puff on the bedside table.

"Have you gone out for a stroll?" Mashiro asked, lying down next to Kushina. Kushina shook her head.

"Why don't you go out for a stroll?" Mashiro continued to ask.

"Konoha is not the same as I remember it now. I went out for a look, but came back after a short while. It's a bit boring to wander around alone," Kushina said.

She picked up a cream puff, popped it into her mouth, and asked softly, "Do you like this kind of dessert?"

"This was brought over by the kid across the hall, and it tastes pretty good." Kushina didn't say it explicitly, but from her tone, she seemed to really enjoy it.

The kid across the hall, in the three-story villa, apart from Yakumo who didn't move in and Yukito who left, only Shirai, influenced by Yukito, really likes to buy cream puffs.

"I have a card here that can be used to buy free snacks and desserts at the Ice Fruit Shop, and also free clothes and jewelry from the Yukiori family. You can go and take a look first, and then bring some back for Naruto, or take Naruto shopping." Mashiro took out a gold card and handed it to Kushina, saying.

"Thank you."

After hesitating for a moment, Kushina ultimately did not refuse.

Chapter 130: The Beginning

"Then I won't bother you anymore?" Mashiro said, turning and leaving Kushina's room.

Kushina stared blankly at the gold card in her hand. [Name: Uzumaki Kushina]

Gender: Female; Age: 20; Affection Level: 30; Relationship: ?

Affection Reward (50): Nine-Tails Chakra Affection Reward (90): Sealing Chains

Seeing that the favorability rating had reached 30, Mashiro was not surprised at all. Sometimes your emotions are not controlled by your will. Although Kushina still felt at a loss, her subconscious had no defenses against Mashiro.
