After traveling through time, I became friends with Tsunade

Two days later, Yusuke gently held the hand of Shiho Aburame and embarked on their journey back home.

What was different from the past was that they were not in a hurry to travel, but stopped and walked along the way, enjoying their date time to the fullest.

But happy days are always as short as a flash.

Today was the day when the merchant ship docked, and Yusuke and Aburame Shiho once again carefully disguised themselves. Although they were already legally qualified to board the ship, Yusuke still didn't want to cause any unnecessary commotion.

They found a spot on the beach to rest, while Aburame Shiho kept peeling grapes and stuffing them into Yusuke's mouth one by one.

She asked Yusuke softly, "Captain, when can we come here again next time?" At the same time, she was worried, "I hope Maki and Ye won't be in any danger."

Yusuke patted her little hand gently and said softly: "It's okay. Even in the Land of Fire, there are many ninjas who collect intelligence. This kind of thing is tacitly accepted in all countries. As long as you don't invade the village, don't hurt the ninjas in their village, and act low-key, it's still very safe."

"Yeah." Aburame Shiho responded absentmindedly, her eyes fixed on the distance. After waiting for a long time, she finally saw the merchant ship slowly approaching.

Yusuke handed over the ticket that Sarutobi Hiruzen gave him through the contact monkey and boarded the ship smoothly. Unlike last time, this time they asked for a relatively large room.

......

"The environment in the Land of Fire is still more comfortable." After getting up, Yusuke walked to the deck and took a deep breath of fresh air.

After sailing for a few days, Yusuke went to the deck to clock in almost every day. Because his identity was well concealed, he often looked like a nobody when he appeared with Shiho Aburame. However, except for the crew, everyone on the ship was either rich or noble, and no one would do anything indecent.

"Yes, Captain." Aburame Shiho also echoed him softly, "No wonder other countries are eyeing our land covetously."

"Don't worry about it. Even if the first Hokage was alive, he would be remembered by others, not to mention Konoha now..." Yusuke didn't want to continue talking, "Let's not talk about this."

"Okay." After a few days of changing her mindset, Aburame Shiho no longer hesitated. She always showed her best side to Yusuke. "It should be here soon."

"As expected, a daimyo is a daimyo. His ship is faster than others." Yusuke teased the daimyo frivolously, "However, the impact he has had on Konoha in the past two years is not small."

"Captain..." Aburame Shiho made a shushing gesture, "Don't let anyone with ulterior motives hear this."

"Who knows us?" Yujie waved his hand nonchalantly, but he didn't say anything else. After all, he wasn't the one being targeted. Although he was sent abroad for two years, it was also an opportunity to stay away from trouble.

"Let's go, we haven't had breakfast yet." Aburame Shiho took Yusuke's hand affectionately and pulled him to the restaurant, happily solving the breakfast problem.

......

In the evening, the orange sunset sprinkled on the sea, sparkling, and the ship finally slowly approached the shore. Yusuke and Aburame Shiho stood at the bow, setting foot on this land again after more than two years.

Soon, the crew members set up the boat plank, and Yusuke stepped on it, with Aburame Shiho following closely behind him.

From time to time, she would secretly reach out her hand and playfully poke Yusuke's back. When her fingers touched Yusuke, she would quickly withdraw them as if she had received an electric shock. Her face was filled with a happy smile, and her eyes were full of tenderness and affection.

After getting off the boat, Yusuke immediately saw the old man who had sent him on board two years ago. At this moment, he was standing at the dock with a few young people.

Yusuke walked steadily and appeared in front of the old man with a gentle smile. Just as the old man was about to ask Yusuke what they were here for, he heard Yusuke say, "Long time no see, old senior."

When the old man saw Yusuke, he was slightly stunned at first, then a look of surprise appeared on his face. His eyes were full of excitement, and he exclaimed in a low voice: "Master Yusuke?"

He was very familiar with this voice. Although they had only chatted a few times, he had already deeply imprinted Yusuke's voice in his mind.

"Why are you here?" Youjie raised his lips and asked with a smile. He looked at the group of people in front of him with a hint of curiosity.

"Hokage-sama arranged for us to welcome Yusuke-sama." The old man lowered his head, not daring to look Yusuke in the eye. There was a tremor in his voice. "Congratulations to Yusuke-sama for returning safely from the Land of Water. I will go back and prepare a celebration banquet right away."

"Don't bother too much, just a simple meal will be fine. Besides, your funds are limited, so you should help more partners in need." Yusuke smiled slightly, waved his hand, and then looked around, "Take us back first."

After hearing what Yusuke said, the old man showed a hint of embarrassment on his face and said, "Master Yusuke, please."

Yusuke did not stop him from using honorifics. In his opinion, sometimes the difference in status needs to be reflected. It is not that he does not have the virtue of respecting the elderly and loving the young, but that the distinction between the superior and the inferior must be clear.

After a sumptuous dinner, the old man stopped Yusuke who was about to go back to his room to rest. With a grateful look on his face, he bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, Master Yusuke."

Yusuke looked at him with a puzzled look on his face and asked, "What's wrong?"

The old man explained with gratitude, "Since Lord Yusuke entered the Land of Water, Lord Hokage has improved the treatment of ninjas in our border town. Now one of my grandsons is already attending Konoha School. Although Lord Hokage did not explicitly say that it was your suggestion, I believe that Lord Yusuke must have had some influence on it."

"In this case, it doesn't matter who made the contribution, as long as your efforts are rewarded." Yusuke said righteously.

"Understood, Master Yusuke." The old man bowed deeply again, "I will not disturb Master Yusuke's rest. I will take my leave now."

After saying that, he turned and left. Yusuke did not try to stop him and let him go. Yusuke then went into the room next to Aburame Shiho to rest. After entering the room, Yusuke immediately went into the independent bathroom to take a shower.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened from the outside, and a figure walked in on tiptoe. Yusuke knew who it was without thinking, "Don't tell me, you don't have a bathroom there." Yusuke smiled helplessly and said. The figure quickly got into the bathtub naked.

The long night passed quickly. The next day, Yusuke asked the old man for a carriage and a coachman. Although it would take two or three days to return to Konoha, he was no longer in a hurry now that he was here.

Yusuke and Aburame Shiho sat in the carriage, looking at the scenery outside the window. They had been away for too long, and their hearts were inevitably filled with emotion.
