After Uchiha Mikoto and Kushina left together, Tsunade also looked toward the four little ones gathered together, which were Temari, Karin, Fu, and Kurotsuchi.
All four had pretty outgoing and cheerful personalities, so it was easy for them to have fun together.
Temari and Karin didn't really have any opinions about these two new companions who had moved in, Fu and Kurotsuchi.
Temari understood her own identity very clearly. Even though she would occasionally have small moods, she still wouldn't make Aoba feel troubled.
As for Karin, she was a girl with a big heart.
As long as she could stay by Aoba's side, she was fine.
Anyway, Aoba had already promised that he would definitely marry her in the future.
Tsunade said to Fu, "Fu, from now on you'll live with Kurotsuchi. She already has a room prepared for you over there."
"I know, thank you, Lady Tsunade."
Fu thanked her happily.
"Mm."
Tsunade nodded, "If you have any other problems, just go directly to Aoba."
After speaking, she looked toward Shizune, who was whispering about something with Konan. Seeing their flushed faces, she knew at a glance that they definitely weren't talking about anything serious.
"Shizune, we should head back."
Shizune rarely refused Tsunade. With a red face, she said, "Lady Tsunade, you go back first. I still have some things I want to discuss with Konan."
'Then why are you blushing like a steaming teapot?'
Tsunade frowned, "What things?"
"Just some work-related stuff," Shizune said weakly.
Tsunade turned to Konan again.
Konan hesitated for a moment, but then also nodded with a bit of shyness.
The corner of Tsunade's mouth twitched. She already realized what those two were planning.
She really didn't know what to say to them.
Things like that… does having more people improve the experience or something?
She didn't want to get involved. Instead, she looked toward a certain culprit.
"You come with me. I have something to talk to you about."
Tsunade grabbed Aoba by the back of his collar, his face full of confusion, and hauled him out.
After seeing Tsunade leave, Shizune finally let out a sigh of relief. Then she looked at Konan and asked, "What do you think?"
"Is this Aoba's idea?"
Konan was still a bit hesitant.
Shizune nodded.
Konan's face instantly turned bright red. Even though she had already teamed up with him before, things like this were still super embarrassing, okay.
But if it was Aoba's idea, then once in a while wasn't impossible.
So after thinking it through, Konan still nodded lightly.
Uzuki Yugao watched this scene from the side. She didn't know why, but she suddenly started missing Terumi Mei, who was far away in Kirigakure.
Right after, her pretty eyebrows lifted slightly, and she suddenly had an idea in her heart.
As for Shizune and Konan's opinions… they didn't matter.
In this house, she was the older sister.
———
On the other side, Aoba was dragged back to Tsunade's home.
Then she casually tossed him onto the sofa and plopped down beside him, looking down at him from above.
In that pose, she looked exactly like a female thug.
"Sensei, what is it?", Once he'd sat firmly on the sofa, Aoba instantly leaned close to Tsunade's side, wrapping his arm around her full figure.
He really liked Tsunade's soft and curvy body type.
"Brat, behave yourself!"
Tsunade squirmed twice in annoyance, wanting this pervy brat to back off a little for the moment.
But Aoba obviously wouldn't let her have her way.
He directly reached out and lifted her up, placing her onto the coffee table in front of him.
"Don't get ahead of yourself yet. I really do have something serious to say. Shizune will be back soon…", Tsunade pressed the sole of her high heel against Aoba's chest, trying to stop him from going any further.
"I don't have any other ideas. I just want Sensei to relax a little. Didn't you say earlier that you were tired from traveling and that your legs felt sore?"
Aoba grabbed her ankle, then smoothly slipped the high-heeled sandal off her foot.
"And besides, Sensei, you don't need to worry. Shizune-nee might not even come back tonight."
Tsunade could see Shizune was discussing something with Konan. He could clearly see it too.
He was the one who suggested it in the first place.
"You…"
Tsunade was forced to sit on the coffee table, watching her foot land in the boy's hands.
She originally thought he'd make her do some improper leg exercises like usual.
But unexpectedly, this brat really started seriously massaging her calf.
It made her feel a little out of place.
Aoba really seemed to be trying to relieve the soreness from her days of traveling.
But that was obviously impossible.
Because the reason Tsunade's legs were weak these past few days was something both of them knew perfectly well.
"If you really feel bad for me, then stop doing weird things so much!"
Tsunade pulled her foot free from his hands and stepped on his thigh a couple of times.
Aoba grabbed it again and said with a strange expression, "Sensei, this doesn't look like you want me to stop doing weird things."
Tsunade's face reddened a bit, "Then put me down first. What does this look like…"
"Sensei, I'm not restraining you."
Aoba said innocently.
"You!"
Tsunade gritted her teeth, annoyed, "I really want to shove my foot into your mouth, but that'd probably be a reward for you."
She suddenly realized she was completely helpless against this pervy brat and felt powerless.
Before she'd discovered his actual nature, she always thought it was punishment. Later she realized it was completely a reward.
"No way, Sensei, that's just prejudice," Aoba argued.
"Heh."
But Tsunade only let out a cold laugh.
Knowing he couldn't explain it, Aoba had no choice but to change the subject, "Sensei, what's the serious thing you wanted to talk about?"
Meanwhile, his hand was already moving from massaging her calf up toward her thigh.
Blushing, Tsunade squeezed her legs together and said, "I'm planning to hand over the position of Hokage to you after the new year."
"Huh?"
Aoba froze, "Isn't that a little too sudden?"
"What's sudden? Your strength is already almost catching up to my grandfather. There's no problem giving you the position of Hokage."
Tsunade said casually.
This was the conclusion she reached after witnessing the ability of his eyes. This brat was fully qualified to become Hokage now.
The reason she had become Hokage back then was because the Third suddenly sacrificed himself, and no one else in the village was willing to step up.
She had no choice but to take the position.
She couldn't let that old geezer Danzo get his hands on it, right?
Also, her becoming Hokage at the time was basically to give Aoba a safe environment to grow up in.
After all, he had a whole bunch of kekkei genkai in his body. If someone happened to find out, they'd definitely want to secretly take him away and dissect him.
