In a private room at Konoha Izakaya, sunlight streamed through the half-open window, casting dappled shadows on the table.
Tsunade sat alone in the corner, several empty sake bottles in front of her, a cup of sake still in her hand. She gently swirled the cup. The amber liquid swayed, reflecting her slightly weary face.
"What a terrible day…"
Since returning to Konoha, her life had not improved. The former Senju ancestral home had long been sold to pay off debts, and now she could only live in an inn, without even a proper home.
What bothered her even more was that her new boyfriend actually had two official girlfriends. And she could only be a secret, underground lover.
"Heh, how ironic."
She tilted her head back and drained the sake, the spicy liquid sliding down her throat, but it couldn't wash away the vexation in her heart.
Shun sat opposite her, his gaze somewhat complex. He also wanted to have a few drinks with her, but a faint sound came from behind him.
Yukari stood quietly behind him, her eyes slightly dimmed.
Mei, on the other hand, grinned, sticking out her tongue at him, an expression that said, "You're doomed."
Shun's heart stirred. He has to send them away so he can spend time with Tsunade.
So, he sighed and finally bowed, saying, "Tsunade-sama, then we will head back first."
Tsunade didn't look up, merely waving her hand casually, as if she couldn't even bother to waste the energy to speak.
After Shun left with Yukari and Mei, she sat by the window, looking out at the street, her mood complex.
"What am I doing, really…"
She clearly didn't want to agree, but resurrecting Nawaki was her long-standing obsession.
Shun walked out of the izakaya, a cool breeze blowing.
Mei's identity was special, and she had nothing to do in Konoha. She bounced over, her eyes sparkling. "Shun, give me some money."
Shun smiled helplessly and took out a stack of banknotes. "500,000 ryo, spend it wisely."
"Wow! Shun is the best!" Mei cheered, snatched the money, and excitedly began counting it.
Shun ruffled Yukari's hair and then pinched Mei's cheek. "Yukari, I still have official business to handle, so I'm going to the Military Police Force first. You need to watch Mei and not let her spend recklessly."
Yukari's eyes wavered slightly, but in the end, she only nodded.
...
Inside the Military Police Force office, Shun's Shadow Clone was reviewing documents.
When the main body pushed the door open, the Shadow Clone looked up, then dissipated into a puff of white smoke. Memories instantly flowed back to Shun. Indeed, there were no important matters in the Military Police Force today.
Shun's lips curved slightly, and he summoned another Shadow Clone. He continued to let the Shadow Clone work for him.
...
Konoha Inn, Room 306.
At this moment, Shun stood in front of the door, holding a bouquet of roses. He took a deep breath and gently knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" Tsunade's impatient voice, tinged with drunkenness, came from inside.
"Room service." He deliberately lowered his voice.
The door opened a tiny bit, and Tsunade peered out, her eyes hazy.
Seeing who it was, her face instantly darkened. She grabbed Shun's collar and yanked him into the room.
"Heh heh, not going to accompany your two little girlfriends, but coming to see this old woman instead?"
Shun was pushed against the wall, raising his hands helplessly. "I saw you weren't happy, so I came to keep you company."
The room wasn't large, but it was very clean. On the coffee table by the window, there was half a bottle of sake.
Tsunade's steps were somewhat unsteady, clearly indicating she had drunk quite a bit.
Shun was silent for a moment, then slowly walked forward and gently embraced her from behind.
"I'm sorry, it's my fault. Please forgive me."
Tsunade interrupted him, her voice weary. "Enough. I am just an ill-fated woman. You've already made me compromise with Nawaki's matter. Why do you have to tease me like this?"
Shun sighed, walked in front of her, and looked at her seriously.
"Tsunade, I just want you to know that I really care about you."
"If you really care about me, then stop playing these little games." Tsunade said softly, her tone finally softening.
Shun smiled slightly, leaned in, and gently kissed her forehead.
"Come drink with me." She grabbed the sake bottle and took a direct swig.
"You've already had a lot." Shun frowned, reaching out to stop her.
Seeing this, Tsunade angrily said, "If you won't drink with me, then get out!"
Shun had no choice but to pick up a glass and toast three times. "These three drinks are my apology for what happened just now."
Tsunade grabbed his collar and said, "For those two little girlfriends, you were actually willing to spend 160 million ryo. I… I'm jealous."
Shun didn't struggle. Instead, he took the opportunity to wrap his arm around her waist.
"This 160 million ryo, wasn't it for you to spend? To help you revive Nawaki, I spent 2 billion ryo to build a clone center."
Tsunade's body visibly stiffened. She released her grip on his collar, instead wrapping her arms around his neck and burying her face in his shoulder.
Her voice was muffled, with a slight nasal tone. "You little pervert… I'm going to reward you."
Seeing Tsunade's actions become increasingly mischievous, Shun laughed.
"Except for the first time when I was more proactive, all other times, you were even more proactive than me."
Tsunade's hazy, drunken eyes stared directly at him, a dangerous curve on her lips. "You little pervert… Kiss me…"
Sunlight streamed through a gap in the curtains, drawing a thin golden line on the floor.
Shun lay on his side on the bed, quietly watching Tsunade sleeping in his arms. Her breathing was steady, her long lashes trembled slightly, and a hint of a satisfied smile played on her lips.
In his mind, the system's notification sounds kept ringing.
[Ding, Host and Partner: Tsunade have engaged in an intimate act. Affection +12%, Senju Sage Body (Intermediate) experience +88, Chakra cap +5, Yang affinity +0.01%]
[Ding, Host and Partner: Tsunade have engaged in an intimate act. Affection +12%, Senju Sage Body (Intermediate) experience +88, Chakra cap +5, Yang affinity +0.01%]
[Ding, Partner: Tsunade's Affection has reached 100%. Congratulations, you have gained Skill Fusion Attempts +1.]
Shun gently stroked Tsunade's smooth back, feeling the surging Chakra within his body.
Kekkei Genkai: Senju Sage Body (Intermediate) (708 / 2000)
Attributes: Health +1500, Chakra +1200, Health Recovery +15 / hour, Sharingan experience +20 / day.
Indeed, intimate act with stronger women yielded greater rewards.
He only needs to do it with Tsunade 13 more times to upgrade to Senju Sage Body (Advanced).
Looking at Tsunade, who was deep in a beautiful dream, he gave up the idea of continuing and continued to check the system.
Host: Uchiha Shun
Strength: Kage-level
Lifespan: 17 / 121
Partners: Yukari (Affection: 100%), Tsunade (Affection: 100%), Mei (Affection: 63%), Yui (Affection: 60%)
Health: 5980 / 5980
Chakra: 4258 / 4258
Ocular Power: 1860 / 1860
...
Kekkei Genkai: Uzumaki Sage Body (Intermediate) (625 / 2000)
Kekkei Genkai: Senju Sage Body (Intermediate) (708 / 2000)
Kekkei Genkai: Three-Tomoe Sharingan (7620 / 10000)
With Senju Sage Body (Intermediate), his Chakra volume surged again, it was now more than 8 times that of a regular Jonin.
Moreover, with the Uzumaki and Senju Sage Body enhancements, he could gain 40 Sharingan experience points daily. He was expected to awaken the Mangekyo in 60 days. Of course, if he upgraded the Uzumaki and Senju Sage Mode to Advanced, the time could be shortened even further.
