Hiruzen Sarutobi: "..."

Seeing the latter standing there sulking in anger, Shenyue Xingyun also began to think of a solution.

He was not fit to be the Fifth Hokage.

Tsunade needs to return to work so he can focus on his duties without having to work regular hours. The only thing to consider is what to do with Hiruzen Sarutobi.

“Call Tsunade back to work,” Shingetsu Seiun suggested.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes widened in surprise.

He hadn't expected that Shingetsu Seiun would take the initiative to suggest that Tsunade return to be Hokage.

It was at this moment that he truly believed the other party's claim that they didn't want to be Hokage was not a lie.

His feelings became extremely complicated at this moment. After thinking for two seconds, Hiruzen Sarutobi said, "Tsunade is fine."

"But I can't get in touch with her now."

Shenyue Xingyun: "Don't talk to me about these things, I only look at the results."

Hiruzen Sarutobi was momentarily stunned.

What does it mean to only look at the results?

You should know that in the ninja world, if you encounter an enemy expert like White Fang or Yellow Flash who is impossible to deal with during a mission, you can abandon the mission unconditionally.

Only look at the results?

What kind of shameless person could say such a thing?

In his wide-eyed gaze, Shingetsu Seiun gripped his sword and continued speaking like a leader: "As for the time while Tsunade is still missing, you will continue to oversee the work."

"You think you can just pack up and leave? Not so easy."

“Danzo’s roots need to be reorganized, and the authority of the elders needs to be revoked.”

As Hiruzen Sarutobi looked at Shinzuki Seiun, who was leading the work with his sword raised, he thought to himself, "How can I take away your authority as an advisor elder?"

Shenyue Xingyun continued to assign tasks, and it took her a while to finish: "...The orphanage's funds also need to be replenished. You put the Root in charge of the orphanage's funds, I really don't know how your brain works."

"Alright, that's all for now. You can start working on it."

Seeing that Hiruzen Sarutobi did not react, Shingetsu Seiun frowned: "Did you remember it?"

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eye twitched twice.

He understood what Shenyue Xingyun meant: if he wanted to step down gracefully, he had to clean up his mess from before.

But this was completely different from what he had imagined—the process of handing over the Hokage position to the other party, who would be relieved about the handover.

He didn't understand why Shenyue Xingyun was so... arrogant.

Yes, you are strong, but not strong enough to be bossy. Do you really think I'm just someone you can do whatever you want with?

"I understand." Hiruzen Sarutobi spoke faster than his mind could process it. By the time he realized what was happening, it was too late.

His face burned with embarrassment, and he added, "However, Danzo and the elders are facing some difficulties, so you'd better..."

"I only care about the results," Shingetsu Seiun interrupted Sarutobi Hiruzen.

"I still have soup simmering in bed, so I'll stop talking now."

"See you."

"Huh?..." Hiruzen Sarutobi stretched out his hand, as if he had something else to say, but Shinzuki Seiun stretched out his right hand, placing his index and middle fingers together between his eyebrows.

The locator was detected.

Instant teleportation activated!

Whoosh!

Hiruzen Sarutobi stretched out his right hand in vain, staring blankly at the empty office in front of him.

My brain was completely blank for that second.

A second later, he quickly turned his head and looked around.

The door was closed.

The window is closed.

Hiruzen Sarutobi's pupils trembled violently!

"This...this..."

He wanted to say something, but felt the words stuck in his throat, unable to be uttered or swallowed.

A deep sense of horror began to brew in my heart.

At that moment, he suddenly felt a sense of relief. Relief that he hadn't thought of fighting back with all his might, but instead had backed down... and had considered the bigger picture.

Otherwise, his fate—seems predictable.

"I really am... getting old."

Hiruzen Sarutobi let out a long sigh.

Shenyue Xingyun's age and abilities have exceeded the limits of what he can control, so this may be the best outcome.

At least there was no infighting in the village, or rather... I could choose my own ending.

Suddenly, he felt a pang of envy for Tsunade.

I really don't know how they managed to get someone like that to approve of them.

"...Tsunade, you're quite fortunate. I just don't know how you'll manage this demon star..."

……

On the other end.

At the home of Shenyue Xingyun.

Ye Cang, who had done her morning exercise, was still lazing in bed.

Shen Yue Xingyun suddenly appeared in the bedroom, but Ye Cang did not notice and was still fast asleep.

The locator of the Divine Moon Nebula was securely fixed, and the dim light slowly faded away.

Seeing Ye Cang drooling, Shen Yue Xingyun shook his head.

He then stepped forward and took the locator.

"Pop~" "Get up!"

"Leave me alone, I'm exhausted and need to sleep." Ye Cang mumbled sleepily, pulling the blanket over his head.

Seeing this, Shenyue Xingyun let her have her way.

"Fine, let's just go to sleep."

He casually put the locator on her, and Ye Cang trembled before falling back into a deep sleep.

Yecang slept in late, and Shenyue Xingyun, feeling bored staying home alone, quickly tidied herself up and went to the Uchiha clan's territory.

When Shingetsu Seiun arrived, Uchiha Mikoto was pruning the flowers and plants in the yard.

Upon seeing Shenyue Xingyun, she didn't show a pleasant expression and continued tending to the flowers and plants on her own.

"Mikoto-sensei, I'm here." Shinzuki Seiun greeted her.

Mikoto Uchiha pretended not to hear.

Shenyue Xingyun called out again, but there was still no response.

Shen Yuexingyun refused to believe it. He walked up to the other person, called out a third time, and planned to pretend to be an invisible man from a Japanese drama if the other person did not respond.

Mikoto Uchiha responded.

"What did you call me?"

Shinzuki Seiun: "Mikoto-sensei."

Mikoto Uchiha stopped what she was doing, turned around and looked at him. Her gaze was not particularly intense.

Are you sure you still consider me your teacher?

Shenyue Nebula immediately expressed its opinion.

"of course."

"No matter what, you will always be my respected and beloved teacher, Mikoto."

Uchiha Mikoto watched him quietly. Shingetsu Seiun felt a little uncomfortable under such a gaze, so he simply snatched the tool from her hand.

"I come."

Shingetsu Seiun wasn't good at pruning plants. His efforts left the plants in Uchiha Mikoto's yard looking like they'd been damaged; before he'd even finished half of it, Uchiha Mikoto couldn't resist snatching the tools back.

"Get out of the way."

Shenyue Xingyun wisely retreated.

Seeing that it was almost noon, he simply went into the kitchen, saw the vegetables and fruits he had bought in advance, and started cooking.

A few hours later, lunch was ready.

"Mikoto-sensei, let's eat."

Mikoto Uchiha put down her tools and silently went into the kitchen. She helped Shinzuki Seiun bring the food to the table.

He didn't say anything and ate in silence. After the meal, he and Shenyue Xingyun cleaned up together.

Everything was in order, but the Divine Moon Nebula had not yet left.

Uchiha Mikoto: "Aren't you going back?"

Shenyue Xingyun smiled and said, "Wait a little longer."

He took the initiative to start a conversation: "By the way, Ms. Misaka."

"Has the Uchiha clan changed its leader?"

Mikoto Uchiha was taken aback, then asked with a puzzled expression, "How did you know about yesterday's events?"

"Obito told you?"
