In the afternoon, the meeting at Konoha Hospital had just concluded.

Tsunade alone organized the reports in her hands, only stopping after half an hour.

She slowly stood up and stretched lazily.

Her full and proud figure was fully displayed, faintly visible beneath her dark blue robe.

Her slender waist and full hips outlined a breathtaking curve.

Coupled with her fair, delicate angelic face tinged with a faint, charming blush,

every gesture of hers was filled with a captivating charm.

Tsunade

She glanced at the time, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly.

"It's getting late, it's time to go to the Old man's place."

Tsunade tidied up briefly, took the reports, and left the hospital.

She headed straight for the Hokage Building.

Along the way, many villagers greeted her. Tsunade responded to each of them with a faint smile, but her pace never stopped.

Before long, she arrived at the place.

When she pushed open the door to the Hokage's Office, Hiruzen Sarutobi was sitting at his desk reviewing documents, smoke from his pipe curling around him.

Hearing the commotion, he raised his head, and seeing it was Tsunade, a gentle smile appeared on his face.

"Tsunade, are you finished with things at the hospital?"

"Yeah, the meeting just ended."

"You've worked hard."

His gaze fell on Tsunade's face, and he suddenly sighed.

"You should know about everything that has happened recently.

Uchiha Sanma colluded with other villages, and even targeted those elders of yours..."

Tsunade's expression remained calm as she nodded at him.

Looking at Tsunade, Hiruzen Sarutobi immediately guaranteed,

"Tsunade, rest assured. The village will definitely give you all an explanation for this matter."

Tsunade didn't answer, merely smiling faintly.

Tsunade didn't care much about this matter.

Because last night, aside from fooling around with Qianye,

taking advantage of some fragmented time, Qianye told Tsunade in detail about all the actions Uchiha Sanma had taken against the Senju Clan that he investigated.

Comparing the events and timelines together,

Uchiha Sanma's actions weren't as severe as he claimed, let alone causing the decline of the Senju Clan.

Many plots actually didn't cause substantial harm.

Instead, they were known in advance by members of the Senju Clan and avoided.

However, the Senju Clan still didn't know about the matter of colluding with other villages.

The reason why the members of the Senju Clan were gradually decreasing had nothing to do with Uchiha Sanma either.

The main reason should be that they sacrificed themselves by participating in wars.

Even the Wood Style Inheritance experiment secretly organized by the village some time ago, wanting to study Hashirama cells,

didn't result in as many deaths as those who died in wars.

Watching Tsunade stand in place without moving,

Hiruzen Sarutobi was stunned for a moment, then proactively spoke up.

"Is there anything else?"

"There is indeed one more matter."

Tsunade walked up to the desk and handed him the report.

"This is the recent training progress of the Medical Team. The overall results are good, but manpower is still insufficient."

Hiruzen Sarutobi took the report, glanced through it, and nodded with satisfaction.

"I want to transfer a Medical Ninja to be my assistant to help train Konoha's Medical Ninja."

Tsunade's tone was natural.

"The hospital's workload is too heavy right now, and I can't handle it all by myself."

Hiruzen Sarutobi's eyes lit up.

"This is a good thing! The training of Medical Ninja is currently a priority for the village. Do you have a suitable candidate?"

"Right now, most of Konoha's Medical Ninja lack experience. I need someone strong enough in ability."

Hiruzen Sarutobi frowned.

"Indeed, but such excellent Medical Ninja are hard to find..."

"Under Danzo, there is a Medical Ninja with good abilities."

Tsunade paused and said her name.

"Her name is Yakushi Nono."

"Yakushi Nono?"

Tsunade nodded.

"Her attainment in Medical Ninjutsu is quite high. If she can be transferred over, it will be helpful to Konoha's medical system."

Hiruzen Sarutobi pondered for a moment.

If anyone else wanted to transfer a Ninja from the Root, he might hesitate, but Tsunade was different.

She was the granddaughter of Senju Hashirama, the princess of the Land of Fire, and the most core person in the development of Konoha's current medical system.

Coupled with the occurrence of the Uchiha Sanma incident, it made him feel even more guilty towards the Senju Clan.

"Alright."

He finally nodded.

"Since it's for medical work, I'll go talk to Danzo about it."

The corners of Tsunade's mouth curved up slightly.

"Thank you, Teacher."

Hiruzen Sarutobi waved his hand.

"This is all for the village."

He picked up the pen on the desk, quickly wrote a transfer order, then summoned a Ninja Hawk and tied the scroll to its leg.

The Ninja Hawk flapped its wings and flew away. Tsunade looked at the receding shadow outside the window, a trace of satisfaction flashing in her eyes.

"Then I'll head back first."

"Yeah, go ahead! Right, Konoha's medical system cannot be completed in a single day either, so you must also pay attention to rest."

Hiruzen Sarutobi said gently.

Tsunade gave an affirmative grunt, turned and left the Hokage's Office with brisk steps.

She knew that with the Old man making a move,

it was a sure thing.

In about ten minutes,

Tsunade arrived outside the headquarters of the Military Police Force. A young Uchiha saw Tsunade appear.

Even though he disliked people from the Senju Clan very much, seeing that Tsunade was clearly heading straight for the Military Police Force,

he had no choice but to bite the bullet and step forward.

"Lady Tsunade!"

Tsunade glanced at him.

"Where is your Clan Head?"

"The Clan Head is not on duty this afternoon; he should have gone back to rest!"

Hearing this, Tsunade snorted coldly.

"Tell him when you go back this afternoon that I'll be waiting for him at the izakaya at seven tonight."

As soon as these words were spoken, this Uchiha was stunned.

He was at the Military Police Force yesterday, so naturally he knew that Qianye had already gone to find this Princess Tsunade.

Today, why is she going again?

Could it be...

the matter mentioned by Clan Head Qianye about normalizing relations with the Senju Clan in the future?

Tsunade ignored this Uchiha. Since Qianye wasn't there,

she couldn't be bothered to talk nonsense with them either.

Tsunade didn't have a particularly bad impression of these Uchiha, but naturally, she didn't have a good impression either.

...

Inside the Uchiha Clan Compound,

the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled over the streets of the Uchiha Clan Compound, dyeing the stone slab road a warm orange-red.

In the center of the courtyard of Uchiha Mikoto's home, Qianye was sitting in a chair dozing off.

The door inside opened.

Uchiha Mikoto hurried to Qianye's side.

"Chiye Ge, wake up!"

Hearing the soft, murmuring call, Qianye finally opened his eyes.

What met his eyes was Mikoto's gentle little face, currently looking at Qianye with curiosity.

Mikoto was wearing a light purple kimono today, the ends of her hair slightly damp, adding a sense of youthful vitality.

"My new dish is ready!"

She reached out to grab Qianye's sleeve, eagerly dragging him into the house.

Qianye smiled and let her pull him.

"So eager to have me taste it, looks like today's dish is very special?"

Mikoto's cheeks flushed slightly as she said softly,

"Yeah, I specially adjusted the recipe according to your taste, wanting to let Chiye Ge try it..."

A rich aroma drifted through the house, and the dining table was covered with exquisite dishes.

A little yuzu peel was added to the miso soup to enhance freshness, the grilled fish was cooked to absolute perfection, and next to it was a plate of seafood tempura drizzled with a special sauce.

"Looks good."

Qianye sat down at the table, and Mikoto immediately scooped him a bowl of rice and picked up a piece of fish meat, placing it in his bowl.

"Taste this first; I used a new pickling method."

She cupped her chin with both hands, looking at him with sparkling eyes.

Qianye picked up the fish meat and put it into his mouth. The tender texture combined with the faint sauce aroma melted on the tip of his tongue, and he raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Mm, it's more flavorful than last time."

Mikoto's eyes immediately curved into smiles.

"Really? Then try this again!"

She picked up a piece of fried shrimp, dipped it in the sauce, and brought it to Qianye's lips.

Qianye naturally opened his mouth and ate it. The crispy skin and sweet shrimp meat made him nod.

"The heat control is very good."

Mikoto was so happy she almost jumped up, blushing as she hurriedly scooped him another bowl of soup.

"I simmered this soup for a long time, give it a try!"

Qianye had just taken the bowl.

Suddenly, a hurried sound of footsteps came from outside the door, followed closely by,

"Mikoto! I brought freshly made red bean cakes!!"

The door was pushed open abruptly, and Uzumaki Kushina stood at the doorway holding a bag of red bean cakes, her voice cutting off abruptly.

Her gaze fell on the two people in front of the dining table.

Qianye was holding a bowl in his hand, and Mikoto was leaning close to his side with chopsticks still in her hand. The distance between the two of them was so close they could almost feel each other's breath.

The air instantly froze.

"You guys..."

Kushina's eyes widened, and the bag of red bean cakes in her hand dropped to the ground with a clatter.
