"Aoba, you're back… hm?", Shizune and Konan had already guessed from the voice just now that it was Aoba, but once they came in and saw, they realized. It was actually a bigger version of Aoba.
They couldn't help being surprised.
"Aoba, why are you using Transformation Jutsu?"
Shizune glanced at Tsunade, who still looked a bit disheveled, and her expression gradually turned strange. Could it be that Aoba and Tsunade were developing some weird kind of play here in the office?
Did she just interrupt Tsunade-sama's fun? Would she get beaten later?
Beaten or not, but surely hammered.
Konan, on the other hand, walked straight up and looked at Aoba, who was now the same height as herself. She couldn't help poking his cheek with her hand, surprised.
"This doesn't seem like Transformation Jutsu."
Aoba's eyes softened again, and he hugged Konan in front of him.
"Mm?"
Konan's brain went blank for a moment. The situation was a little too sudden.
Although Aoba was strong, most of the time, she was the one who took initiative.
For him to be this forward and domineering today, this was the first time.
Even Shizune, who had been lost in her own wild thoughts, was stunned.
But Konan only froze for an instant before responding eagerly.
In front of Aoba, she was always very proactive about these things.
Even with someone else watching from the side, it didn't affect her mood.
The two of them got carried away.
And as for this scumbag behavior, just now being hot with her, and now in the next moment hooking up with someone else, though Tsunade felt a bit uncomfortable, she didn't say anything.
After all, today was a special situation, so she let them be.
"This…"
Shizune looked at the scene in surprise, but what truly shocked her was that Tsunade stayed completely silent.
This wasn't like Tsunade's personality at all.
You had to know, even though Tsunade always pretended not to care about Aoba, her jealousy was even stronger than her, the actual girlfriend.
Every time she got affectionate with Aoba in front of Tsunade, the woman would get sulky.
Why was she so abnormal today?
Shizune secretly observed Tsunade, but Tsunade clearly didn't want to explain anything.
So she could only guess wildly inside her head.
But the longer she watched, the more the corners of her mouth twitched.
Because the two of them were just too sticky with each other.
Almost ten minutes had passed, and they still hadn't separated.
Shizune pouted slightly, unhappy, but then was also shocked.
It had been so long, yet they only looked a little flushed and breathless. If it were her, she'd probably already be ready to head back and change clothes.
Tsunade had also been dissatisfied while watching the two getting close, but then she suddenly noticed the expression of her other disciple. Somehow it looked interesting.
She had often been teased openly and secretly by Shizune. Now, looking at the girl's current state, Tsunade strangely felt a bit of hidden satisfaction.
But she hadn't enjoyed it for long when Aoba let go of the breathless Konan, then pulled the jealous Shizune over.
This time Tsunade was speechless.
Bang!
She slammed the desk, breaking up the sticky mess of the three.
"This is the Hokage's office, not the place for you to do flirt."
If she didn't interrupt now, who knew where their hands would end up.
Shizune's face was flushed red, gasping for air, and she really couldn't handle it.
Seeing the three finally calm down, Tsunade turned to Konan and brought up business.
"Konan, are the documents sorted?"
Konan's expression had already recovered, though she still had many questions inside.
She froze for a moment at Tsunade's question, then came back to herself and handed over the documents.
Other than a faint blush on her cheeks, her expression was very calm.
It wasn't like it was something shameful.
Even though Aoba hadn't said it, she knew Tsunade would become family sooner or later.
"Tsunade-sama, this is the list of goods given to Konoha by the Snow Country. The amounts and values have already been tallied."
"Mm."
Tsunade took the list and looked through it.
"Snow Country?"
Aoba, still wiping his mouth, froze when he heard that. He remembered Kazahana Koyuki.
"This is something Kazahana Koyuki gave Konoha to thank you for helping her restore her country."
Tsunade gave him a glance, then continued, "Also, in a few days, that Snow Country daimyo will personally visit Konoha."
"Tell me, is she coming to visit Konoha, or coming for a certain someone?"
"This…"
Aoba dodged, "I think, as a daimyo, if she's coming in person, it must be for official matters."
"Heh."
Tsunade only gave a cold laugh, then ignored him, looking at Shizune and Konan, "You two can have two days off. Just leave the documents and go."
"Eh?", Both Shizune and Konan froze, their eyes full of surprise.
Tsunade was clearly acting strange today.
Not only did she not show much displeasure watching them being affectionate with Aoba.
She even gave them vacation time, voluntarily giving up her chance to slack off.
This could count as one of Konoha's top ten mysteries.
"Tsunade-sama, you're not sick, are you?"
Shizune asked cautiously.
"What did you say?"
Tsunade glared at her, and Shizune immediately shut her mouth.
Tsunade didn't bother holding it against her, "The details, let that brat explain to you later."
That brat had been stuck in Loulan for three years, surely long pent-up.
She almost thought he had hidden a kunai just now to sneak attack her.
She was originally going to help deal with it, but since these two came, she left it to them.
And Aoba, of course, also caught Tsunade's intention. He didn't explain further, just directly grabbed the two girls' hands.
"Teacher, then we'll head out first."
After saying that, the three disappeared from the office.
After they left, Tsunade finally let out a real sigh of relief.
Then she stood up, took a clean pair of pants, and went into the changing room.
If anyone had seen just now, as Hokage, she'd have lost all her dignity.
As for the remaining work, weren't Samui and Mabui still there?
They both had weak spots. They wouldn't dare rebel. She'd just squeeze them harder.

[Senju Clan Residence, Tsunade's Home]
Aoba didn't bother with detours, but skipped the middle steps entirely, bringing the two girls straight home.
Shizune and Konan were still a bit dazed. After all, without even much proper conversation, they had already been brought home.
But when Aoba straightened himself, they understood the reason.
It was just…
The two looked at each other, then realized this was Tsunade's house, actually Shizune's room.
Konan chose to yield, "In that case, I'll go back first."
"Aoba, you stay with Shizune. Come find me later."
